Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is out tomorrow but there may be some wary fans, especially after the recent beta’s issues. Treyarch has revealed how the final game will be different, including more nerfs to sliding. Simply put, it will now have reduced range and speed while its stow speed will be longer.

Scorestreaks are also getting changed, allowing lower-tier selections to be abused less and higher-tier streaks easier to get. Mantling will also see increased speed and a “number” of aim assist parameters have been adjusted for a “more expected feel” across different weapons.

Despite reportedly having eight 6v6 multiplayer maps at launch (with the 40 player Fireteam: Dirty Bomb having two dedicated maps), there will be a number of different modes at least. These include Free-For-All, Hardcore Team Deathmatch, Hardcore Domination, Search and Destroy and so on. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is out tomorrow for Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5 and PC. Stay tuned for more details in the meantime.
