Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War update removes RC-XD from League Play
Following on from the restrictions added to League Play last week, Treyarch has made more adjustments to Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s ranked mode.
According to the patch notes, players can no longer use the RC-XD Scorestreak while in League Play and a “Results Processing” display has been added. Additionally, adjustments have been made to Friendly Fire in League Play to make it so players will now receive ricochet damage after the second teamkill and will be automatically kicked after two more teamkill attempts.
This update also stops players from capturing the Hardpoint form outside the zone on Express and prevents players from standing on the crafting table in Zombies. Read the full patch notes below:
