Enable & Pacman: How Cold War Control changes could improve CDL 2021 ActivisionPotential changes to Black Ops Cold War\u2019s Control game mode could make the mode far more \u201ccompetitive and entertaining\u201d for the remainder of the 2021 Call of Duty League season. Our Reverse Sweep crew of Ian \u2018Enable\u2019 Wyatt and Jonathan \u2018Pacman\u2019 Tucker explain why. With the release of Black Ops Cold War in 2020, Treyarch brought Control back for the second time in Call of Duty history. While the mode was instantly locked in for competitive matches, it hasn\u2019t quite played out as fans expected. Leaked settings that were soon added into the game could be just what\u2019s needed to restore the excitement of what was once a fan-favorite mode. With the new option enabled, Control might unfold in a completely different way. Rather than gaining time on the clock for a full capture, teams can now gain additional time with each segment. Moreover, capturing more segments will lead to a favorable defensive spawn if the game comes down to overtime. Enable and Pacman argues this change would be beneficial for the CDL season. \u201cTo me right now, Control is kinda boring to watch,\u201d Enable said. \u201cIt\u2019s not like Control in the past where you could spread the map and really strategize pushing two points at the same time.\u201d When Control was introduced in Black Ops 4, players could use their specialist abilities to break into a point. This kept things more even across offense and defense as one huge play could unravel the best setups. Without them, \u201cthere\u2019s just a lot more work that goes into it, so people are essentially playing [Team Deathmatch],\u201d Pacman explained. As a result, a majority of maps at the pro level end up in a round five. Teams will play far more passively in order to secure the defensive advantage in overtime and clean up the win.

However, with this change to capture progress, it could bring the mode back to its former level of complexity. \u201cI think it has a lot of potential to make the game mode more entertaining for the viewers and more competitive.\u201d Incentivizing individual ticks on each zone would see the mode being played \u201chow it\u2019s supposed to be played,\u201d according to Pacman. Nothing is set in stone just yet, though the option is now available in-game. Therefore, players have a choice moving forward. We\u2019ll just have to wait and see if it\u2019s implemented for the rest of the season or not. In the meantime, make sure you\u2019re all up to speed with the final Week 3 results as we head towards the second Major of 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
