Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Pros Can Not Decide If Auto-Sprint Is Fair
A unique interaction in a competitive Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War practice game sparked an interesting debate among the pros. Atlanta FaZe and Dallas Empire played in a casual practice match, but one specific interaction caused Crimsix and aBeZy some conflict. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War league games don't start till 2021, but that has not stopped the pros from feeling out what this next title will expect from them.
In a rather heated match, Crimsix managed to kill aBeXy using techniques that were a little off-book as he has auto-sprint enabled. Although auto-sprint is not completely against the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War competitive rules, many pros believe that it should be. Auto-sprint can give some players an advantage, but so far, the professional Call of Duty community has been split on the issue.
Youtuber TacticalRab gives a good summary of the interaction that sparked this debate between the two pro players. In a Hardpoint match on the map Checkmate, Crimsix managed to overtake aBeZy in a rather quick interaction. After gunning down his enemy, Crimsix bragged about the kill on Twitter, which sparked a response from aBeZy, who broke down the entire situation.
This entire encounter in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has sparked a major discussion: Should auto sprint be allowed in competitive matches? While most pro players know how to initiate a sprint, by having auto sprint enabled, some players can slide cancel easier than if the setting was disabled. Competitive player aBeZy was amazed that some people actually have it enabled, and with his encounter with Crimsix, he has moved to formally discuss the controversial setting.
As far as auto sprint goes, the discussion has only started due to Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. During the beta, sprinting and sliding was a problematic practice as many fans realized they could slide across the map rather than run. The engine of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War offers fewer mobility options the Modern Warfare but constantly sees issues revolving around its sprinting and sliding features.
During the competitive cycle of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, it was agreed that professional players would not use the setting. The main reason was to limit the skill gap between players who use auto sprint and those who operate without it. Now, aBeZy is calling for the removal of the setting from competitive play, but Crimsix disagrees as he has been using it for quite some time.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
