Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War: First July Update is here

Call of Duty

The Treyarch team has released the next update for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, which not only brings new playlists and another 2XP weekend, but also provides a preview of the contents of the upcoming mid-season update.

There is some nostalgia for Black Ops 2 fans with the "NukeJackes 24/7" playlist, which will offer different respawn modes on Nuketown '84 and Hijacked over the next few days. There's even more of the past in the "Throwback Moshpit" playlist. Here, Hijacked has been added to the map rotation with Raid, Express, Nuketown '84 and Standoff. The newest 12v12 map from Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War can be enjoyed by players in the "Collateral Combined Arms 24/7" playlist. The new additions of the week are finally rounded off with "Gunfight Blueprints". From 7pm today, players can also look forward to double XP and double weapon XP. The event is scheduled until July 6th at 7pm. The bonus applies to Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Call of Duty: Warzone.

With the start of the new month, the developers are also hinting at the mid-season update. One of the highlights will be a new zombie map called "Wall of the Dead", which will probably be located in Berlin. According to Treyarch, there will be more information about the upcoming zombie map on the shooter's social media channels in the next few days. At the end of the message we have included the patch notes for the first July update of Black Ops Cold War.

Call of Duty: Warzone hackers can now crash other players’ games with a dev error

© Provided by Dot Esports

The “dev error” that’s been plaguing Call of Duty: Warzone players on PC seemingly is now somehow being wielded as a weapon by hackers.

100 Thieves Warzone pro Tommey posted evidence of a random player joining his lobby and then immediately crashing his game with the dev error. To follow up on the occurrence, he rejoined the hacker, who began talking to him.

Tommey, who has a history of trying to expose hackers in Warzone publicly on his stream, was chasing down more information. When he joined back, the hacker asked if Tommey had any questions, who repeatedly said no.

“None?” the hacker said. “Zero? Not even like how I’m doing this?” And after a few seconds, Tommey’s game crashed with the dev error popping up, confirming his suspicions of what happened.

Right now, it appears that the players must be in the same lobby for the crash to work, so players can avoid the issue by being careful who they’re playing with and making their lobbies private. Still, though, it’s a scary thought.

For streamers like Tommey who play in big-money tournaments all the time, this could become a serious issue. Playing games online in front of thousands invites all kinds of people, even those with nefarious intent who could try to join their lobbies, crash their games, and prevent them from doing their jobs.

Raven Software’s Trello page, which tracks issues in Warzone, has no mention of the hack or what could be enabling it.
