Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Challenges Have A Big Flaw
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War players have been given plenty of new content to try out with the arrival of Season 1, with returning features like the operator challenge system designed to keep fans engaged. However, the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War community has shared frustrations with many of these challenges.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War players have been progressing through the Battle Pass faster due to the game’s ongoing Double Battle Pass XP event, unlocking numerous operator challenges to complete. With exciting rewards like moving calling cards and emblems as well as operator skins, it makes sense that many players would want to complete these challenges. However, one huge issue is forcing them to do something they do not want to do.
Many Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War players are frustrated by the fact that they are not able to complete all of the game’s operator challenges in multiplayer. With many of the challenges directly tied to Call of Duty: Warzone, players who want to play the new Black Ops game exclusively are out of luck. In a Reddit post from h0sti1e17, the player pleads with Treyarch to “stop with Warzone challenges,” citing how they “can’t get [their] Park challenges complete without Warzone.”
The player goes on to make a fair point about Zombies challenges being separate from multiplayer, suggesting that the same be done for Call of Duty: Warzone. This is an understandable request, as forcing players to do things like destroying vehicles or surviving to the end of a match in a completely separate game is a big ask. Players may not want to play the free-to-play Call of Duty title at the moment due to Call of Duty: Warzone’s game-breaking bugs, or they may just dislike battle royale games like h0sti1e17.
The Redditor shares that they have no issue with Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s seasonal challenges. While they may not “like” challenges that require modes like Fireteam Dirty Bomb to be played, they understand because those are part of the same game. The issue lies solely with the operator challenges of the Season 1 Battle Pass, as these optional objectives are tasking players with spending time in a game they may not have any interest in playing.
However, without a separate Battle Pass for Call of Duty: Warzone, Activision seems to be in a tough spot when it comes to satisfying the fans of both active games. Even if a separate Battle Pass did exist for the battle royale game, players would likely call out an overuse of microtransactions in Call of Duty, meaning that these shared Battle Pass challenges might be the lesser of two evils.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
