While most missed shots in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War come from either poor aim or classic “lag,” a player has found evidence of a deeper problem. It is when the game itself prevents a kill due to technical difficulties that missed shots turn from a simple annoyance into a broken system. As players investigate a Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Reddit clip, the community remains dividing on the exact cause of this new bug.

In a shooter like Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, players expect their bullets to impact whatever they shoot at. While one or two shots missing can often be frustrating, to see several rounds all be clearly ignored my the game presents a larger problem. In a clip posted by LightingBiehz, the player unloads five shots directly into an enemy’s head on Nuketown. While the clip shows that the player is lined up perfectly, fans can watch as shot after shot simply misses, and the enemy player survives. To make matters even more frustrating, LightingBlehz is quickly killed by enemies before they can effectively eliminate the enemy they have been firing at.

There is no indication that the player’s connection is to blame, which presents the possibility that something is wrong with the game itself. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has had previous problems with bullet impact and this recorded incident only goes further in showing off that the problem has not passed.

In the video’s comments, players discuss the fact that this is a known bug within the game. Some players claim that controlling a Killstreak misaligns Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War hitboxes, while others say that the bullet desync has more to do with the weapon itself.

No matter the cause of this Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War bug, the community all agrees that it desperately needs a fix. If players are unable to trust the accuracy of their weapon in a game that revolves around shooting, then they will simply seek out a more realistic shooter. With Call of Duty fans already divided over Black Ops Cold War and Modern Warfare, this problem could easily evolve into a larger issue if ignored.

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
