The new content is not well received
Here are your reasons: In the comments under the article, some of you addressed the problems Cold War causes.
The integration has made everything worse. Most players are running around with 3 to 4 weapons, and they are from Cold War.
The nerfs have not helped at all when you constantly see the same weapon in the killcam.

The DMR 14 has received a second nerf, but many players doubt the nerf and suspect that the weapon is OP again
MeinMMO reader Frank elaborates in his comment on where the problems of CoD Warzone currently lie for him. From his perspective, the integration of Cold War is a good thing, but it was not properly planned. There are significant issues with balancing, and some “Modern Warfare” weapons could serve as alternatives, with appropriate adjustments to handling.
The current semi-automatic DMRs are practically useless to him, as are the SCAR, Dragunov, or the Rytec AMR. Additionally, weapon attachments from Cold War do not function as described in Warzone. In his comment, he references a video by CoD YouTuber JGOD, who publishes weapon setups on his channel and shows how broken some attachments are.
In his video about the LMG “Stoner 63”, he recommends a barrel that is supposed to do more vehicle damage – according to the description. However, in practice, the attachment increases projectile speed significantly. So much so that he sees the barrel as the best choice for the weapon. We embed the English video for you here:
The balance seems to be a problem
In the comments, the balancing of the new Cold War weapons is often identified as a problem. An additional issue is the skill-based matchmaking (SBMM). In the community, there is a desire to adjust the SBMM and to balance the “Cold War” weapons against the rest of the arsenal. Another problem is cheaters: At the end of January, the issue reached its sad peak when a finalist was disqualified for cheating at the $250,000 tournament “Twitch Rivals”.
What do you think? Do you think that the balancing of the Cold War weapons is a problem? And should the SBMM be completely abolished? Let us know in the comments.
