[jwplayer ulMZS35X] With the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Open Beta in full swing, the developers over at Treyarch and Raven Software are absorbing a bevy of focused criticisms from the franchise\u2019s ever-eager fanbase. Fortunately, ACHES has balanced his own critiques with a variety of constructive suggestions, giving a professional player\u2019s perspective on how best to balance the newest upcoming CoD title. And that perspective appears to be presented as professionally as the former Call of Duty League pro\u2019s gameplay is, with a series of PowerPoint-esque slides shared on Twitter. Starting with a disclaimer that he is excited by this game\u2019s potential, ACHES proceeds to dive into 11 suggestions spanning movement mechanics, stocks, perks, equipment, and scorestreaks. We summarize those issues and suggestions here. Sliding, movement, and the Duster Stock First, ACHES details how he would adjust the game\u2019s movement mechanics. Most notably, he thinks that sliding needs to be nerfed in a variety of ways so that the game isn\u2019t overwhelmed by a slide-cancel meta like Modern Warfare was. This is in line with others\u2019 complaints about slide exploits in the title. Further, as a countermeasure, he thinks that the game\u2019s base movement speed should be buffed. With the idea of cutting down on movement tricks while boosting general mobility, this would make Black Ops Cold War a more evenly balanced title (and less easily dominated by pros like Anthony \u2018Shotzzy\u2019 Cuevas?). He then touches on how the Duster Stock should be overhauled before diving into the Ninja Perk and some of the game\u2019s equipment. Ninja Perk, EMP Grenades, throwables, and Trophy System For Ninja, ACHES believes that the perk should be buffed \u201ca bit more\u201d in hopes that it improves competitiveness on respawn modes and encourages the Search and Destroy community to make a return. Then, while wanting EMP Grenades and the Hardwired perk to be added to the game, he has also laid out that he thinks throwable equipment needs to be nerfed so that players can\u2019t launch them across the map like an NFL quarterback. Further, he believes the Trophy System field upgrade needs to be balanced so that it isn\u2019t used by every single player at all times. Scorestreak, Wildcard, Stim Shot, and Jump-Shotting Finally, ACHES joins much of the CoD community in wanting changes to the scorestreak system. Further, he adds suggestions for the Wildcard system and Stim Shot to be improved, while offering that jump-shotting simply feels awkward. As of yet, developers have not responded to ACHES\u2019 11 general suggestions, but the Open Beta is open until October 12 so it is likely that they are still gathering information. As a general note, though, this is probably the best way to offer feedback, as ACHES made sure to offer suggestions for each issue he has with the game\u2019s current iteration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CoD pro ACHES wants 11 major changes to Black Ops Cold War Call of Duty League \/ TreyarchTwo-time Call of Duty world champion and former Los Angeles Guerrillas player, Patrick \u2018ACHES\u2019 Price has delivered an in-depth powerpoint giving feedback on the issues with Black Ops Cold War and how they can be fixed.
