Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Private Beta — Treyarch’s Day 3 Update

In a new post shared on Reddit, similar to yesterday, Treyarch has outlined what they are aware of and what they are looking into based on feedback from Day 3 of the Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Private Beta.

Next week, before weekend 2 starts, there will be a big title and content update for the Beta to address many issues.

Here’s what’s planned for the big update coming:

• Scorestreaks
  • We’ve made a big pass at tuning the effectiveness of Scorestreaks that are underperforming. This includes: expanding the Hellstorm cluster lock-on radius, increasing the damage per shell of the Lighting Strike, upping the health of the Sentry turret, increasing the Strike Team’s weapon accuracy, improving the Strafe Run’s plane pathing and increasing the Attack Chopper’s targeting capabilities.
• Movement
  • As promised, we’ve also made some modifications to locomotion, namely to reduce the amount of bunny hopping + sliding combo moves. We realize how important locomotion is to the feel of the game, so this is always a delicate balancing act and we’re taking it slow, starting with: reducing the global jump height by 5 units; slowing down very slightly the acceleration on sliding; and jumping multiple times in a row will now scale down jump height with each subsequent jump.
• Maps/Modes
  • A pass at performance optimizations has been made across all maps in the Beta for improved framerate.
  • Made a pass at global spawn improvements in various maps and modes.
  • Updated Hardpoint locations and rotation on Seaside.
• Specialist Weaponry/Equipment
  • We’ve made some tuning adjustments including reducing overall effectiveness of the K9 Unit while fixing some of its more *ahem* egregious pathing issues.
• Armor
  • Because we know this is a hot topic, we’re going to address it separately with a dedicated thread. We did say that we wanted to leave this alone until more content is unlocked, and we’ve had more time to crunch the data from all of the content in the game. For now, we are making some early tweaks which we’ll discuss in a later post.

Treyarch also shared that, for Weekend 2 of the Black Ops 4 beta, which is available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, there will be that “new map that you saw in the beta trailer, secret new mode that has been kept under tight wraps, new XP events, and/or new level caps.”
