Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War update improves spawns, fixes Zombies bugs
Treyarch has released a small update for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War ahead of Nuketown ‘84’s arrival later today.
This latest update takes a pass at improving multiplayer spawns. According to the patch notes, Hardpoint spawn logic has been adjusted to reduce the average travel time to the hardpoint and the weighting of enemy spawns on Crossroads Strike and Armada Strike have been changed.
