CoD Black Ops Cold War-Update ist online & hier sind die Patch Notes

Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War kämpft seit dem Launch mit verschiedenen Problemen, die dieser Patch hier womöglich behebt.

Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War-Spieler*innen klagen seit der Veröffentlichung über unterschiedlichste Schwierigkeiten mit dem Spiel. Die langsame Progression wurde mittlerweile geändert, dafür brachte ein Patch aber neue technische Probleme. PS5- und Xbox Series X-Besitzer*innen klagen sogar darüber, dass ihre ganze Konsole durch das neue CoD unbrauchbar gemacht werde und der Start von Season 1 wurde verschoben. Jetzt soll ein neues Update diverse Bugs fixen, hier findet ihr das Wichtigste im Überblick und die Patch Notes.

Neuer Cold War-Patch bringt keine Waffen-Buffs oder Nerfs

Darum geht's: Laut Entwickler Treyarch handelt es sich bei diesem aktuellen Patch um einen von vielen, der zur Vorbereitung auf Season 1 dient. Dieses Mal erfolgen dann auch eher kleinere Veränderungen, die vor allem mehr Stabilität bringen und Fehler beheben sollen. Aber es gibt auch einige Gameplay-Anpassungen.

Was steckt drin?

Quality of Life-Verbesserungen
Updates für mehr Stabilität
Bugfixes
Anpassung beim Waffen-Feedback
Neuer Teaser im Zombie-Modus
Kleinere Gameplay-Anpassungen in diversen Modi
Scorestreaks wurden ebenfalls angepasst

Der sichtbare Waffen-Rückstoß soll nun deutlich besser ausfallen, wenn ihr aus der Hüfte schießt. Zusätzlich wurden Animations-Probleme bei der Hauer 77 behoben und die Wärmebild-Visiere sollten jetzt auch richtig funktionieren, wenn ihr in einem Fahrzeug sitzt. Zusätzlich gibt es jetzt auch auf der Crossroads- und der Armada-Map die Möglichkeit, Fallschirme zu nutzen.

Im Zombie-Modus Die Maschine kann wohl ein neues Teaser-Easter Egg entdeckt werden. Es soll einen Vorgeschmack darauf liefern, was alle Fans des Koop-Ablegers mit Start der Season 1 erwartet.

Der Löwenanteil des Updates kümmert sich aber offenbar um diverse Bugs, die behoben werden sollen. Die Probleme mit der PS5 und der Xbox Series X wurden in den Patch Notes allerdings nicht explizit erwähnt. Ob es irgendwelche Verbesserungen in dieser Hinsicht gibt, bleibt vorerst also leider unklar.

Call of Duty: Cold War ist mit nur einer einzigen Zombies-Map an den Start gegangen, aber das könnte sich mit Beginn von Season 1 ändern.

Wann geht's los? Das Update ist bereits live und kann heruntergeladen werden. Am 15. Dezember soll noch ein Cold War-Update erfolgen und am 16. Dezember ein weiterer großer Patch für Warzone erscheinen, wenn Season 1 die beiden Spiele endlich miteinander verbindet.

Wie groß ist der Patch? Das Update vom heutigen 8. Dezember schlägt mit knapp 24 GB zu Buche.

Die Gratis-Bundles gibt es ebenfalls ab heute

Um für den verschobenen Start der ersten Multiplayer-Season von Cold War und die längere Wartezeit auf die Fusion mit Warzone zu entschädigen, bekommen alle, die sich ab heute und bis zum 16. Dezember einloggen, zwei kostenlose Bundles mit kosmetischen Items.

Zusätzlich winkt ab dem Wochenende auch noch ein neues Doppel-XP-Event. Die Details zu beidem könnt ihr hier nachlesen:
