Fists up. Updated on 9 February 2021 The long-awaited Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War League Play launched last night, and it's already run up against a number of issues affecting players. League Play is the ultra competitive portion of Black Ops Cold War's multiplayer that sorts players into a skill-based division and challenges them to move up a ranking ladder. It strips the game down to 4v4 (standard multiplayer is at least 6v6), and puts restrictions on loadouts in a bid to recreate the ruleset used by professional players in the Call of Duty League.
