Black Ops Cold War CDL rule set updated with Raid & tactical rifle bans

The CDL ruleset for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has been updated on January 7 with the latest bans including on tactical rifles and an update to the map pool

The new CDL ruleset, released on the Call of Duty League website, has been shared as the start of the new season gets closer.

The new update replaces existing maps in the rotation with Raid, the new fan favorite remake that arrived in Season One in December. And, the CDL team has banned all Tactical Rifles from use in the CDL.

Here’s the updates, made on January 7 to the rules:

• Map & Modes List
  • Hardpoint: Added Raid and removed Cartel
  • Search & Destroy: Added Raid and removed Crossroads
  • Control: Added Raid and removed Moscow
• Restricted Items
  • Added Tactical Rifles:
    • Type 63
    • M16
    • AUG
    • DMR 14

This update introduces the ban of all Tactical Rifles in the game (due to their high power and time to kill at range), while also adding Raid as a playable map to all gamemodes.

Since DLC maps in Black Ops Cold War are free, we may also see other remastered maps make it into the competitive ruleset. We’ll update you if there are any further changes.

Players interested in understanding the full rules in the Call of Duty League can see the competitive rule set on the CDL website.
