released this afternoon. New improvements from the beta include aim assist adjustments, louder footsteps, tuning for sliding, and different distribution of Perks.

Image via Activision One of the main complaints from the beta is that players needed to use the Dexterity Perk to aim down sights while sliding, diving, and wall jumping, and Scronce said that will now be a default mechanic in the game. Dexterity will now give "maximum fluidity" on top of that. In addition, sliding distance and speed has been slightly reduced, but mantling will now be faster "across the board."

One of the age-old hot button issues in CoD has been the strength of aim assist, and that continued in the BO7 with many players feeling it was overtuned. Scronce addressed it by saying that controller players win slightly more close range battles, while mouse-and-keyboard players win a bit more at long range.

"So, what we're going to do here to try to close that gap is take a very close look at the strength of aim assist across all of those ranges," he said. "Additionally, we are looking at rotational aim assist and the requirement for the right aim stick to be moving in the direction of your target. We'll have more concrete details to share soon."

As for Perk changes, here's what's happening on that front:

• Tech Mask: Slot 1 to Slot 2
• Scavenger: Slot 1 to Slot 2
• Cold Blooded: Slot 1 to Slot 3
• Looper: Slot 2 to Slot 3
• Tac Sprinter: Slot 3 to Slot 1

The early returns on these changes from most players are positive on social media, with CoD players sounding off about their excitement for the newest game in the FPS franchise that's now just a few weeks away.
