What’s new in the Black Ops Cold War Feb 4 update?
Multiplayer
There’s plenty of new multiplayer content added in this update, starting off with the brand new Express map – a remastered version of the iconic map from Black Ops 2. Despite the game being set during the Cold War era, the futuristic nature of the map has not been touched, so it should look all too familiar for longtime CoD players.
Along with Express comes a 24/7 playlist so that everyone can enjoy it nonstop.
There’s also a new 40-player Endurance mode, in which 10 squads of four drop into Sanatorium, Ruka, and Alpine to collect uranium and detonate bombs.

The big change in this mode is that once one bomb explodes, there’s always another one instantly turned online, meaning there are always five active ones in play. Also, the score limit has been doubled from 500 to 1,000, so there’s plenty of opportunities to earn tons of XP.
Four new maps have been added to the Prop Hunt rotation (Express, Raid, Crossroads Strike, and Armada Strike), while Nuketown ’84 was added to the Gunfight rotation, along with both 2v2 and 3v3 Gunfight variants now available in Custom Games.
Here are the new rotation of featured playlists:
As with Express in multiplayer, Zombies has gotten a brand new map as well: Firebase Z. There’s been a lot of hype surrounding Firebase Z, so it’s expected to be the talk of the town among Zombies fans for the next few weeks minimum.
A few other things have been added as well, including the Tombstone Perk, which is available in both Firebase Z and Die Maschine. Along with that come two new support items: Napalm Strike and Artillery.
Here are the available Zombies playlists:
It’s also worth noting that there’s a lot of weapon balancing changes in this patch, including blanket adjustments to all assault rifles and SMGs, as well as a buff to the Streetsweeper shotgun.
