There are only a few weeks left until the end of Black Ops Cold War Season 1, meaning that Season 2 is swiftly on the horizon. To ensure happy hunting, here are 5 things we want to see in Treyarch’s newest CoD season.
You have to imagine that Treyarch has been hard at work on Season 2 of Black Ops Cold War from the moment that Season 1 dropped. Dropping a boatload of content is no easy feat and requires a lot of work to make happen after all.
Season 1 has offered cool weapons such as the MAC-10 & Streetsweeper, remakes of Raid & Express, and new game modes like Dropkick. However, there is plenty of room for improvement, and here are five easy ways that Treyarch can make Season 2 even better and more enjoyable in the latest Call of Duty game.
5. Old & new maps in BOCW Season 2
Needless to say that Black Ops Cold War probably could’ve had more maps at launch instead of spreading them out periodically throughout the game’s release. Thanks to updates and new content, the game now has 12 different “6v6” maps for players to enjoy.
Now, a leaker claimed weeks ago that 8 more map remakes were coming. Since that post, Express has taken a train ride into the 1980s, and we could easily see more on the way too. The Pines is a superb, original map and it would be nice to see a couple of new maps in addition to a couple of remakes too.
4. New, exciting game modes in BOCW Season 2
One thing that Black Ops Cold War is definitely not short of is a veritable selection of game modes for players to indulge in. Between Standard, Hardcore, and a plethora of other playlist options there are so many options for players.
But some fan-favorite modes are still conspicuously absent and there’s always room for originality and ingenuity too.
3. Better Spawns in BOCW Season 2
We can’t think of a Call of Duty game in recent memory that has had such unusually placed spawns. Several maps such as Crossroads, Armada, and Satellite all possess blatantly exposed spawn areas that leave players susceptible to a litany of consecutive deaths.
We can forgive this kind of thing occurring on a small map like Nuketown ’84, but it really shouldn’t be happening on mid-to-large-sized maps. Hopefully Treyarch has realized this and has revaluated the game’s spawn system.
2. Less bugs & glitches in BOCW Season 2
We acknowledge this is probably more difficult than it sounds, but fewer bugs would make for a wholesome experience.
In Season 1 alone, we’ve had Raid becoming Mario Kart’s Rainbow Road, a glitch that makes players invisible, and even a bug that left players legless. We’re not asking for perfection, but maybe fewer bugs, and allow us to retain more of our limbs.
1. Improved scoring system in BOCW Season 2
It’s no secret that Black Ops Cold War’s scoring system is horribly unbalanced. Regardless of the mode you’re playing, the game actively encourages players to focus on kills, kills, and nothing but kills.
A player that ignores the objective to get a 10 killstreak will greatly benefit far more than someone who’s spent the whole game focusing on capturing flags in Domination and locking down Hardpoints. There’s little incentive to concentrate on objectives and Treyarch absolutely needs to address this.
These are five key things we think could make Black Ops Cold War one of the best Call of Duty games ever if they could all happen.
Some potential information about leaked weapons for Season 2 has already become public knowledge, and we’ll be sure to update you once Treyarch starts rolling out the new information officially.
