The final playlist will be the 10v10 Shipment. As the name suggests, this playlist promises to be a brawl with players finding opponents wherever they turn.
The two community-choice playlists were the result of community votes organized by the publisher earlier this year.
Map Optimization
Coastal has received an optimization as part of Season 8: Error 404. The popular map has always had a very spacious mid area which allowed little cover for players. As a result of this open space, it was often an area that players would (for lack of a better word) abuse.
It was difficult to block enemies with a smoke grenade in the middle road before, so the aisle from the middle road to Defender's base as well as to the Storage room was narrowed down to make it easier to block with a smoke grenade.
The new update the two areas (mid and the initial basement) have been narrowed, which should provide more action. It will also lead to faster resolution on this map and become a more exciting prospect from a gameplay perspective.
The defense from the Zone A area has not always been easy; to resolve it, the connectivity between the Storage room and Main Street was adjusted; it used to be a one-way channel from Main Street to the Storage room, but now it was adjusted to a two-way channel.
The optimized map is available in the Multiplayer Playlist Coastal 2.0 which runs from September 15 to September 21.
New Weapons
There are a couple of new weapons that join the game in the latest update.
- Argus: A brand new shotgun with high mobility and excellent accuracy. It retains the classic experience as in Black Ops and brings the tactical style with the original attachments from mobile.
- Sai: A new dual-wield melee that can deliver swift thrusts and slashes. It has extended reach for frontal attack but limited swinging range on the other side.
In addition to these, there have been a few weapon optimizations that include Type 25, HBRa3, HVK-30, XPR-50 , PDW- 57, Razorback, MSMC, HG 40, Pharo, and Cordite.
