Black Ops Cold War Feb 13 update makes more League Play changes: patch notes

Treyarch

Treyarch have deployed a new update for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, aimed specifically at ironing out some issues with their League Play and Zombies experiences — but also touching Express in Multiplayer.

Having already implemented changes to combat leavers in League Play matches, Treyarch are continuing to iterate upon the competitive mode. After the highly anticipated launch, fans and players have had mixed reactions, with many asking for changes to be made.

One such change was the removal of a “leave game” option, in order to curtail a dissatisfactory amount of people who were ruining matches by leaving halfway through. Now, in the February 13 patch, the devs have taken aim at another group of griefing players: those who aim to teamkill.

If you’re looking to rank up in League Play, you’ve got some options to look forward to.

As the latest patch decrees, “ricochet” has been implemented so that, upon a second teamkill, damage is returned to the attacker (followed by subsequent penalties). Further, the RC-XD scorestreak has been added to the restricted list.

In Multiplayer, Express has been tuned so that a bugged Hardpoint can no longer be captured while outside of its zone. In Zombies, a teleportation bug and unintended Crafting Table perch have both been dealt with, along with fixes for several issues.
