Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War's gigantic Season 1 update is upon us. On top of new maps, modes, and guns coming to Cold War itself, Season 1 will also add more guns to Warzone and its first new map. Rebirth Island, an abandoned Soviet facility off the coast of Verdansk, promises to be a smaller, more intense alternative to the normal 150-player battle royale.
Since Season 1's content is actually spread across both Warzone and Cold War, expect to download multiple patches for both games. So when exactly is Cold War Season 1 kicking off?

- Eastern Standard Time (US) - 12/16 at 2:00 AM
- Greenwich Mean Time (UK) - 12/16 at 7:00 AM
