Treyarch Studios released a Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War update this week that added a new penalty to players’ movement speeds and jump heights immediately after they land from an initial jump. The change was naturally ill-received by many players who had to adjust to the revised movement system and couldn’t react as quickly after landing from a jump, though Treyarch said when the update was released that it would monitor community sentiments and make adjustments as needed. That’s exactly what’s happened as of Saturday with Treyarch releasing another Black Ops Cold War update to ease up on the movement penalty.

Players first started noticing the movement penalty from jumping after the Season One Reloaded update dropped, but it was the patch notes for the February 5th update that confirmed the change was in effect. Black Ops Cold War’s patch from Saturday doesn’t remove the movement penalty and lessens it instead, though Treyarch said the change was only a slight one.
