With the beta for Cold War having a date set, there are plenty for players to test out when the time comes. One of these is at the top of the list for most-used perks over the years: Dead Silence. While it was removed in Modern Warfare, it seems the perk is coming back in Cold War with some changes.

First of all, the name will be different. Dead Silence is renamed to Ninja, and this name change matters due to how the perk now functions. Rather than almost entirely removing player movement sound–thus creating a dead silence–the new version of the perk allows the player to sprint more quietly. This alludes to the idea that it will still be audible, just at a much lower volume.
On the more tug-of-war side of returning features, it seems the Prestige system may end up being added to Cold War after all. While it was previously said that Cold War wouldn’t ship with a Prestige system in place, a recent poll to fans that overwhelmingly supported the feature may have swayed the developers. It is likely that something like this won’t make the cut for the base game but will instead be added at a later date.
Dead Silence is a confirmed returning favorite, and the Prestige system is a strong possibility. Aside from those, there are tons that players don’t know about returning weapons and perks. Some are still being revealed, while others may have to wait until beta testing begins next month. It will be interesting to see if any Modern Warfare weapons make the jump to the next game.
One killstreak that is likely to return is another favorite: RC-XD. The remote-controlled explosive device was a popular pick back in the day, and it may be time to see a return of the exploding doom on wheels. There is a sort of chopper gunner killstreak as well, but the full list might not be shown until gamers can get their hands on the actual game.
Cold War is set to be a mix of well-loved features and brand-new ideas. Jet skis and snowmobiles are perfect examples of things that might never have worked in previous Call of Duty games but might be a fun addition in this one. Players will have to see what returning favorites and new creations the game has to offer when the beta starts in a few short weeks.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War releases November 13 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
