In Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War lurks a deadly threat on the Moscow map that is worse than any Kalashnikov – Soviet windows of death! Learn how these death traps work and how to avoid them here at MeinMMO.
What is the deal with the windows in Moscow? One of the maps in the multiplayer mode in Cold War takes place in Moscow, the capital of the Soviet Union. There, you fight on the streets in front of socialist propaganda art as well as in the halls of a Lenin monument.
When the gunfire gets too intense, there are numerous buildings where you can seek shelter. Among other things, you can dive or slide through windows. But when you want to glide through the windows, be careful that you can actually fit through.
Because at the end of the large boulevard in the south, there is a rectangular office building. There is a tempting window at ground level that looks just passable.
But one does not pass. Those who still want to slide through the window opening get stuck permanently.
By the way, you can learn about a better trip to Moscow here:
Moscow is full of deadly doors and windows
What can you do if you get stuck? If you are stuck in the window, you are a defenseless victim that anyone can shoot from a safe distance. There is no way to escape. The only way out is death. In a reddit video, user goodmorningvietnam01 gets stuck in the window and after unsuccessfully trying to free himself, he frustratedly pulls out a Molotov cocktail and sets himself on fire to respawn free and unbound.
To avoid being in this humiliating situation, you should avoid all ground-level windows and not slide through them. At least until the developers fix this issue, because according to fans on reddit, the window was actually intended to be passable but due to a bug, you get stuck.
Where else is there a risk of getting stuck? The window is not the only death trap in Moscow. Pro gamer FormaL wants to pass through a glass door in the middle of the map and breaks it. However, when he tries to climb through the empty door frame, he also gets stuck and cannot get out. Luckily, a teammate helps him with a friendly punch and literally punches him out of trouble.
It therefore seems that Moscow is still full of bugs and dangers and the developers should take another look at the map. However, the developers take the balancing and further development of the game seriously and have already nerfed issues like the excessively powerful submachine gun MP5. It is quite possible that bugs on the maps will also be fixed in the next patch.
