Black Ops Cold War Alpha Thoughts

Here's my review after playing the Black Ops Cold War open alpha; a collection of good and bad thoughts, opinions, and concerns for Treyarch's upcoming release. We'll touch on the graphics, movement, scorestreaks, minor complaints, and will of course revisit the topic of SBMM. Overall, not very impressive to me, but it does remedy some of MW's most glaring problems. What I really need to get a full picture of the game is to experience the PC beta and hear more about their plans for progression, like permanent mastery challenges and prestige.
