Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War - XM4 Gameplay (PC Beta)
This will be my last video on the game before full release. Apart from the Beta Day 1, where I constantly shot first and died first, I actually had a pretty good time. Game runs pretty well, but it still crashes every now and then.
Biggest problem for me in the game is the killstreaks. There is no longer a thrill to go on a high streak, because I know I can die and still get a Chopper Gunner. And killstreaks no longer reward the good players. You can't anymore get a lot of kills and call in many streaks, since streaks have 60-90 second cooldown period. Killstreaks now are just something that happens in the background and that's disappointing.
Needless to say there is still a lot of balancing to do. Stimshot is OP, shotguns are OP, snipers are OP, aim assist is OP, War Machine is OP... But this is obviously something they are going to tune through the year.
Overall gameplay feels good. Sliding is a bit much at times, but nothing too bad. But what is going to make or break this game for me is the progression. If it's as boring as MW, I'm going to be very disappointed. After I got Damascus and completed season battle pass/Officer challenges, I didn't play the game even though I wanted. There was no reason to play and it felt like I was wasting progression. I really hope we get something comparable progression to 1000 levels and 100% completion like BO4 had. That would make me want to play even after I have completed battle pass. Adding massive progression 6-8 months in to the game (MW Obsidian and the weapon challenges) is just insulting. They need to exist and track from day one.
