03/31/2020 Black Ops Cold War, Warzone and Modern Warfare™ Game Update
Review
The developers continue to tell us about the CIA officer Russell Adler, who was able to escape last time and is considered missing. The Harmony group is trying to contain the spread of a strong and dangerous threat that has appeared in Verdansk, they do not have time to wait for reinforcements.
A full restart of the second season of both games will be in the coming days, players are waiting for new modes, maps and functionality for Black Ops Cold War. In addition, two new performers will be shown, the ZRG 20 mm sniper rifle and new sets will also be added, which will also be available in Warzone. Expect full updates for Black Ops Cold War on March 29 at 07:00 BST and Warzone on March 31 at 09:00 BST.
And believe me, this is only a small part of the new chips, items that will appear in the game in the new season. The developers have been developing this patch for a long time, they listened to the players and heard them. Despite the fact that many people demand a new map for warzones and accuse the developers of not doing anything, this is not true. This patch should change the minds of many people.
What do we personally expect from this update of warzone, cold war on March 31st? New zombies and items in “Invasion”, the appearance of new modes “Shootout, blueprints” and open participation in the “Fire Contact” tournaments.
New maps for online play
Miami Strike (6х6) (at start)
Miami Strike is a complete redesign of the beloved map, new locations and combat options on the original night version of the map.
Players are in for close fights against each other, as the show of old cars blocked most of the map, even blocking the road to the Paramour Hotel. However, there are places on the map where you can shoot from long distances while playing with a sniper rifle. A variety of buildings gives different variations of the game on the map.
Put on dark glasses, take aim and rush into battle. This is where you need to be aggressive to beat the heat… and your competition. Experience the Miami Strike 24/7 game roster this week to join the fight!
