Treyarch recently released Patch Notes that went into all the changes made since the beta. The studio also answered fan questions about the game. Included in these notes was the divisive Scorestreak system. On top of announcing cooldown and UI adjustments to Scorestreaks, Treyarch addressed the philosophy behind the new system:
“We’ve reworked the Scorestreak system to incentivize a greater range of play styles in Black Ops Cold War. This means players will keep their score after death, and the earn rates on Scorestreaks have been tuned using data from the Alpha and Beta to maximize fun and minimize Scorestreak spam.
As you’ve seen above, we’ve recently adjusted Scorestreak costs, earn rates, and streak bonuses to ensure that players are rewarded for both playing the objective and racking up multiple kills in the same life. Cooldown rates have also been tweaked to further balance the system and keep spamming to a minimum. Of course, we’ll continue to tune the system for best possible experience post-launch.”
