Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War got a new update this week that encompassed everything from the highest levels of play to the most casual thanks to League Play changes and a new, lighthearted game mode. The update that's gone live now follows a couple of others released in quick succession before it since the launch of Season One Reloaded and also marks the beginning of the Call of Duty League 2021 season. It's a bit beefier than some of the past updates but not as large as Season One Reloaded, though there are still some notable changes to recognize.

The same update released on Thursday also refreshed the list of rotating modes in Black Ops Cold War now that those playlist changes happen on Thursdays as opposed to Tuesdays. Through that refresh, we see some favorites like Nuketown 24/7 and Prop Hunt sticking around along with the new Kiss Confirmed mode that's live during the Valentine's Day weekend.

One thing not noted in the patch notes themselves is that there's a bonus experience event going on now that's a bit better than the ones before it. While it's limited only to Weapon XP and not the player level experience, the limited-time event is live for four days instead of three like it usually is. It'll start on February 12th at 10 a.m. PT and will end on February 16th.
