Black Ops Cold War’s beta will be ‘quite an upgrade’ over the alpha



The lead designer of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s gameplay systems has claimed its upcoming beta will be a significant improvement over the recent PS4 alpha.

The Cold War alpha ran for 48 hours from September 18 and included various 6v6 and 12v12 multiplayer modes across five maps.

According to Activision, the pre-release version was its most downloaded Alpha or Beta ever. However, the Alpha was criticised in some areas, including its aggressive skill-based match making which a developer later suggested could be tuned.

On Friday, Treyarch’s Tony Flame claimed on Twitter that the upcoming beta test – which starts On October 8 – would represent an improvement over the Alpha.
