Black Ops Cold War Split-Screen Is Having Some Problems…
Sadly, the Call of Duty franchise is very familiar with invisibility glitches that constantly frustrate players. The current glitch in Black Ops Cold War is no different.
Basically, when playing through a few games in a row via split-screen, you could encounter a bug where all other players in a lobby will be invisible.
If you do get unlucky enough to discover this glitch, the only thing you will see are floating weapons from the other players in the lobby. This is a terrible bug for split-screen players. However, it does make for a slightly amusing visual.
For evidence of this, take a look at this Reddit post from user u/Bradwtv.
This isn’t a new problem, either. There are several other examples of this issue over on Twitter dating back to December.
Please fix the multiplayer split screen capabilities in CoD Black Ops Cold War. Split screen was one of the main reasons I bought the game and it barely works. After one game, we try to load another one and everyone is invisible. @ATVIAssist @Activision @CallofDuty #CallOfDuty pic.twitter.com/AHfmbQucEc

@Activision What’s with Black Ops Cold War split screen online multiplayer glitching so that you can only see the guns of yourself and other players? Every time we start the game we can play one match and in the second match the game glitches and we can only see guns.

As of right now, there appears to be only one fix for this problem. And it’s definitely an annoying one. To combat the invisibility glitch for split-screen, players will have to exit the game and fully restart their console.
Somehow, this invisibility glitch seems to be the tip of the iceberg when it comes to split-screen problems.
If you take a glance at the comment section of the Reddit post above or look over at Twitter, you’ll find a plethora of issues for split-screen support.
Hopefully, with the bug getting more and more traction online, it will catch the eyes of Treyarch and the developer can finally resolve the issues. Split-screen may not be as huge as it once was but, it’s still a pretty major feature. Especially in multiplayer games like Call of Duty.
