Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War - The superiority of snipers in the alpha is wanted by the developers
During the games already played, the participants very quickly realized the obvious superiority of the players. snipers, which allow you to aim very quickly, and do high damage, even in situations where assault rifles are normally superior. In reality, this situation is quite normal. The developers voluntarily buffered the snipers during this alpha to assess their performance. In the next test phase, snipers should return to normal performance. In any case, that's what Tony Flame from Treyarch explains:
Ok let's talk Sniping in Cold War.
Crossplay is coming, but we knew it wouldn't be in Alpha. We buffed Snipers to evaluate their performance in this Alpha specifically. Sniper Rifles WILL have balance changes for the upcoming Beta based on our analytics data this weekend.
