Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War December 10 Update Brings Back Fan Favorite Playlist
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War released its latest patch yesterday, December 10. The update will see a lot of features fine tuned, such as scorestreaks, zombies updates, and more. Also returning to Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is a playlist that (most) players should be familiar with.
Developer Treyarch's sixth entry in its Black Ops series launched on November 13. The game has since received mixed reviews with some praising its campaign, while others criticized the multiplayer for lacking depth. The cross-generational title has also been plagued with frequent bugs, so often that Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War's Season 1 and Warzone integration has been pushed back to December 16.
Detailed in a post on Treyarch's website, the December 10 patch appears to be largely rebalancing tweaks. For example, scorestreak costs have risen for things like the Attack Helicopter and Chopper Gunner, while Napalm Strike received an all-around nerf. However, the most notable part of the update is the return of a fan favorite playlist - Nuketown 24/7. The Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War edition of the famous map has proven popular since its release a few weeks ago, with many discovering Nuketown '84's new Easter Egg. Nuketown 24/7 replaces Motherland Moshpit in the multiplayer featured playlists.
The new patch comes just 10 days after the last Black Ops Cold War update that fixed Nuketown '84's out of bounds glitch. It's currently unclear whether another patch will come December 16 for the game's integration with Call of Duty: Warzone. Players should expect further fine-tuning in the coming months, as the patch's footnotes reveal the updates may be changed or removed at any time.
The latest patch for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War appears to address some minor gameplay issues. However, the consensus of the CoD community is that the game is still lacking in content. Thankfully this is about to change, should the rumors be true. Season 1 is expected to bring back a popular game mode, and multiplayer is getting a map directly inspired from Back to the Future.
The entire Call of Duty franchise is as popular as it's ever been. Between Black Ops Cold War, Modern Warfare, and Warzone, publisher Activision has reported over $3 billion in "net bookings."With the launch of the next generation of consoles, the FPS video game series looks to grow even further. However, next-gen players beware, as many players have reported game-breaking issues, including Black Ops Cold War bricking PS5s. Hopefully, Treyarch will have a patch for that too.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
