Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War

Black Ops Cold War Beta Oct 17 Patch Notes: Bug Fixes

Keshav Bhat

As the Black Ops Cold War Beta is now open for everyone, Treyarch has released a game settings update with some fixes and updates for the game.

This update brings a new mode, new Level Cap for the beta, and some updates to the Fireteam: Dirty Bomb mode. Treyarch has also brought some stability fixes for the beta to help with issues some players are experiencing.

Patch Notes:

CONTROL (6v6)

Control joins the Quick Play selection of 6v6 modes today in the Crossplay Open Beta. We’re excited to bring back this Black Ops 4 fan-favorite, where opposing teams fight to capture or defend two objectives on the map or wipe out the other team before running out of lives.

Each team of up to six players has 30 lives distributed among the team, injecting a new layer of strategy for both attacking and defending teams. Jump into Control this weekend on Cartel, Miami, and Moscow and let us know what you think.
