General Feedback - Multiplayer [June 12] - Black Ops Classic Black Ops Classic has been one of the most positively received playlist additions in recent memory. The response across social media has been overwhelmingly supportive; and with that enthusiasm comes a clear, consistent set of requests from players who want to see the mode further refined into a staple offering. To assist this process, I have compiled the most common and actionable feedback I've seen across social media conversation, YouTube videos, and more. ----------------------------------------------- MOVEMENT & SPRINT Enabling the setting toggle for Sprint Assist is the most consistent request in this category. Controller players have long expressed concern over the physical discomfort and wear associated with frequent stick-clicking to engage sprint. This option already exists in game settings, so surfacing it in Classic (without the Tac Sprint sub-option) would address this directly. ----------------------------------------------- PLAYLIST SUPPORT Search and Destroy is the loudest missing-mode request. For a large portion of the players who came back for a classic COD experience, SnD is non-negotiable, as it's the game mode most associated with the era this playlist is meant to evoke. Hardcore playlist support is also entirely absent. There is a segment of the player base that exclusively plays Hardcore and currently has no path into Classic. While there are always risks with fracturing the player base, it may be worth testing a HC Classic offering for a limited time to gauge interest before any permanent commitment. In the spirit of classic playlists, some players have voiced interest in Party Games making an appearance in Classic. While incorporating BO1 favorites like Gun Game directly into the main playlist may feel jarring, a separate "Classic Party Moshpit" could be worth exploring down the line. ----------------------------------------------- SCORESTREAKS HKDs and Legion are often called out by name as the functional BO7 equivalents of Attack Dogs and Swarm from BO2, yet both are currently disabled in Classic. It may be worth revisiting the inclusion of these streaks, as they fit the mold of what multiplayer is built around: high-impact, recognizable rewards that can shift the tides of a match. ----------------------------------------------- CREATE-A-CLASS Two issues are being flagged consistently here. First, default classes are appearing before custom classes on the spawn loadout screen, requiring players to tab over to reach their own loadouts. It's a small but notable friction point that disrupts the flow of getting into a match. A simple tweak would be defaulting menu navigation to the Custom tab instead. Second, there's no separation between Classic and standard MP loadouts. Optimizing for Classic gameplay currently means overwriting or modifying loadouts used in standard play. A dedicated Classic class set, or even just a few additional slots, would resolve this entirely. ----------------------------------------------- MAPS The current map rotation is a strong starting point. That said, expanding the map pool over time would go a long way toward keeping the mode feeling fresh. Community requests have naturally gravitated toward other classic maps including Carrier, Magma, Havana, Drone and more. If Classic becomes a permanent offering, remastering more fan favorites - even one or two per remaining BO7 season - would signal long-term commitment to the mode, and give players another reason to keep coming back. If time is of the essence, keep in mind the handful of remasters already in BO6 and BO7 that could work with classic mechanics, namely: WMD, Hacienda, Fringe, Gridlock, and most recently, Launch. ----------------------------------------------- SPAWNS Spawn behavior has been a point of friction for some players, with the general sentiment being that Classic's reduced movement speed changes the nature of engagements in ways that feel inconsistent at times. Spawn logic is an extremely complex area, so this is offered as a surface-level observation rather than a diagnosis; but it's worth noting that players are feeling something here. If anyone has more specific examples of questionable spawns that they can detail (or better yet, demonstrate with video!), I strongly encourage you to share them in replies. ----------------------------------------------- ATMOSPHERE This section is less a list of requests and more a love letter to the classic games we know and love. A mode committed to authenticity naturally invites the question: how far can it go? Some of the most fondly remembered details of the classic Black Ops era weren't mechanical at all - original announcers, faction-specific spawn music, faction-specific player models, unique HUD designs. Incorporating or reimagining some of these details could help separate a mode that plays classic from one that genuinely feels classic. None of these are expectations, but if the goal is to close the loop on what made the classic era so special, the atmosphere layer is worth revisiting too. ----------------------------------------------- PERMANENCE The loudest ask by far is simply to make Black Ops Classic a permanent playlist rather than a seasonal or limited-time addition. Many players have explicitly stated they have returned, or would return, to BO7 often if Classic became a permanent offering. Some voices are also asking Treyarch to communicate this to Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer as a framework worth carrying into future games. The reception has been clear enough that it warrants that conversation. The community generally seems to support offering gameplay options for players of varying mechanical preferences, so hopefully we can continue exploring ways to entertain lovers of classic and even...less grounded traversal 😎 ----------------------------------------------- That's all for now! If you have more feedback to add, reply below - try to keep things actionable and specific. Focused and constructive voices carry further than noise, so keep it respectful as well! @MaTtKs @Treyarch @TreyarchCM @CallofDutyCM
