I’d rank Black Ops 6 in the middle.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is not without problems.
However, at its core, it’s a fun shooter, which is the most important thing.
I most definitely fall into the latter.
And that’s if I bother to play at all.
However, the Call of Duty 6: Black Ops 6 campaign is solid and well put together.
As fun as the moment-to-moment shooter gameplay is, the story just didn’t grab me.
There are setpiece missions, smaller battles and all the other vital aspects you know and love.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 review: Multiplayer
I love Call of Duty multiplayer.
The speed, feel of the shooting, map design and progression all suck me in every year.
Am I a great player?
Not anymore (my kill-death ratio hovers around 1.10).
You might have heard mixed reactions to the maps offered in Black Ops 6.
I’ve seen some dedicated Call of Dutyplayers panning them.
Me, though, I love the map selection.
Omni-movement is the most significant change to multiplayer (and the game as a whole).
You’ll see many more players flopping around and diving than you’re probably used to.
It’s like a shiny new toy; so many players are going overboard using it all the time.
This will wear off once they realize it’s best reserved for a specific situation.
You don’t always want to on your back in the heat of a firefight.
It’s still a lot of the same stuff.
You spawn into a game, shoot people, get shot and repeat.
Between matches, you level up and unlock new guns and attachments for said guns.
And the cycle continues.
You probably already know if you like that cycle.
And if you do, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 nails it in every way.
The Zombies mode is absolutely bizarre.
For old-school fans of the mode, the most exciting aspect of Zombies is the return of round-based gameplay.
As for the levels, Zombies launched with Terminus Island and Liberty Falls.
The first few waves are easy enough, but you will fail shortly after if you’re not well-coordinated.
If you have a group of friends to play with, you’ll have a great time.
Well, I love its competitive multiplayer.
After finishing this review, I’m not in a rush to revisit the campaign or Zombies.
And that’s okay because the three modes offer something different for everyone.
If you like working toward a common goal with your friends, Zombies is there for you.
Or at least, it’s okay for me and probably will be for most longtime fans.
