Camping Is Still Bad

For those of you who have played Modern Warfare (2019), you know how bad the camping is. Now imagine camping, but now more places where there is head glitching. What happened to running around and killing each other like in the original Call of Duty: Black Ops? Now we have a game similar to Modern Warfare (2019), which was and still to this day filled with campers.

Barely Any Change In Graphics

it looks and feels exactly like Modern Warfare (2019). There are slightly subtle changes in the HUD, but graphics wise such as texture looks almost identical to each other. While it is in alpha test and changes can come later on, it is pretty mediocre for Call of Duty to recycle their graphics. It may be because they are focusing the graphics for next generation, but for right now, there is barely a difference in terms of graphics.

Feels Stiff

I interacted with other gamers and they can agree that the movement feels stiff. Again, it is in alpha test so anything can change, but so far player movements do not feel as fluid. I tried sprinting and it made my character would stop running for no reason. As I found out, maybe it is just my controller, but what I noticed is that once you click your joystick, you have to stick with it. Move the joystick by a millimeter and you will stop sprinting. Not only that, but interacting with the environment does not feel comfortable at all.

Spawn Placements Are Bad

This is a problem. You would spawn in on the map thinking no enemy is nearby. You are very wrong. Enemies can literally be right next to you when you spawn in, resulting in being spawn trapped. Why is this bad? Well, to some people like myself, we want to go out there and play like gentleman. Meaning we want to go out there and blow your brains. Not we come in and you blow our brains immediately when we spawn. There is no skill involved with spawn trapping, it becomes boring, and it promotes bad sportsmanship. A lot of gamers do not care about that, people can find it entertainable, but it is very frustrating when it happens on the victim side.

Slide Cancelling

This is probably one of the most addressed problems right now. A lot of people are taking advantage of "slide cancelling" due to the fact that not only is it hard to kill people sliding, but because they aim a lot faster. Plus, you can get a lot of distance with the slide which players are now labeling as the "G-Slide." Players remember in the older days in Black Ops where you dive. Now, this game allows you to slide and move around different environments. That was the original and planned idea. Now, it is more of people running around sliding while possibly getting knee scrapes.

Frags Are Useless

I have no idea if it is a bug or not, but I have noticed that the frags are terrible. It is basically pointless due to the fact that there is little to no blast radius, making it a useless pebble that players throw around. On the plus side, your player has a really good arm can throw very far.

Continuous Scorestreaks

I have been in multiple lobbies and all I hear are people complaining about the scorestreaks. It does not feel as rewarding as it used to be. The way the scorestreaks works is it is continuous. Kills still do matter in a sense, but you could die as many times and the streak meter is still growing. There are no penalties when you die, making it easier for people to get any scorestreak they want over time.

Feels EXACTLY like Modern Warfare (2019)

Everything about Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War feels almost exactly like Modern Warfare (2019). It feels like the game was copy and pasted: The graphics are the same, the maps feel the same, and movement is slightly the same other than it feeling extremely awkward.
