Sniper rifles are likely to remain a supremely destructive weapon in the final game, but their overall capabilities will be nerfed a bit. The team wanted to check out some stats from the alpha and then adjust the weapon accordingly as they moved forward. Activision confirmed that they intentionally beefed up sniper rifle abilities for the alpha. Players weren’t wrong when they guessed that sniper rifles had received a huge buff. This not only made snipers a major threat at long distance, but they could also quick-scope close-range opponents with devastating results. Players who used a sniper rifle as their weapon of choice were treated to some serious firepower, which was matched with a ridiculously quick ADS (aim down sight) speed. While snipers have always been lethal in Call of Duty, the Cold War alpha took the power of the weapon to a whole new level. Sniper rifles were absolutely dominating all other available weapons. A “no fun” experience is certainly the last thing Activision wants to hear about one of their games, so there’s no doubt some rejiggering will take place before launch.Īfter just a few rounds of play in Cold War’s alpha, there was a general consensus among players.
Numerous players griped about the alpha simply not being fun due to the off-kilter matchmaking. This caused some players to use “reverse-boosting” tactics, which means they would intentionally kill themselves off in a match in order to lower their own rank, and subsequently drop down to more manageable competition. One minute players were able to hold their own in the heat of battle, and the next they were squashed almost instantly. It seems that those who played a few decent rounds of multiplayer were quickly bumped up to a complete different skill tier. Players quickly found themselves in online battles that left them little to no chance of survival. Unfortunately, the majority of participants feel that the matchmaking system in Cold War’s alpha was a bit too aggressive. Previous Call of Duty titles have employed this feature, and Black Ops Cold War is no different. Most online games have a feature that tracks your skill level as you play, and figures out how to match you up with players of similar abilities. The loudest complaint from those playing the alpha was related to skill-based matchmaking.
