Black Ops 6: Controversial Changes in Season 1

Black Ops 6 Season 1
The Black Ops 6 Season 1 update was released 14 November 2024

While Black Ops 6 continues to top the FPS genre, the recent update has left some fans disappointed. The most recent update saw changes to COD Points in the battle pass and issues with Warzone.

The battle pass in previous titles awarded the player with 1,400 COD Points for completing it, assuming you upgraded to the premium pass. The Season 1 update to Black Ops 6 saw a reduction to 1,100 COD points. While this is still enough to purchase the next pass for free, fans disapprove of the reduced number.

Next, the recent update to Warzone seems to have undone many of the changes that were implemented during Modern Warfare 3. The most talked about pain point? Audio bugs. Many players are saying that there is zero footsteps audio in the recent update. Additionally, many fans on PC are experiencing frame rate drops of 30-40%.

I have been playing both Black Ops 6 multiplayer and Warzone. In my experience, Warzone feels clunky and slow compared to multiplayer. There is definitely missing audio in Warzone. In fact, they feel like separate games at the moment. There is no word on fixes at the moment, but I expect them to come in the near future.

Fan Favorite Modes

To change things up, I want to discuss two of the most popular modes in Black Ops 6 right now. Gunfight and Hardpoint.

The return of gunfight has pleased many fans who enjoy the 2v2 mode where skill and communication are tested. In my opinion, the randomness of your kit is one of the most exciting factors. When discussing with fans, many stated that the unpredictability of the mode keeps it exciting without compromising competitiveness.

Hardpoint has remained one of the top game modes with teams competing to secure and hold strategic locations around the map. The revamped map design adds new dynamics that were missing in previous titles. Whether you are an aggressive player or a tactical shooter, hardpoint requires constant teamwork and communication. It is one of my go-to modes right now.

Black Ops 6: Season 1 Update

Black Ops 6
The Season 1 update will release on 14 November 2024

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has been out for a little over two weeks now. The latest update, which comes out on 14 November, will bring new maps, weapons, and features. The newest update seeks to keep the game energized and exciting for fans. This update will focus on expanding gameplay options, and the multiplayer experience – ensuring players have countless ways to enjoy the game.

So What’s New?

A major highlight of the update is the introduction of three more multiplayer maps – and a new Warzone map. Each map will bring with a unique terrain with strategic advantages for various playstyles. Regardless if you run and gun up close or snipe from afar – each map has something for everyone.

The new update even includes a wide variety of additional guns, scorestreaks, and weapon attachments. If you enjoy the customization options in Black Ops 6, you’ll enjoy the extended range of options released as the season progresses.

We will also receive a handful of additional game modes, including the fan favorite Prophunt. A new zombies map – Citadelle Des Mortes – is also in the update.

What Are Fans Saying?

In short, fan reactions remain largely positive. Even the highly criticized omnimovement has received some praise. Fans remain critical about the “skill based damage” mechanic suggesting that you are punished for performing well. Additionally, fans who enjoy the zombies mode suggest adjusting the difficulty in later rounds as it becomes much too difficult.

Call of Duty Black Ops 6: What’s New?

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will release 25 October 2024

Activision is about to release its most recent game in the Call of Duty franchise. Following the success of returning to the modern timeline, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will continue the trend. Activision promised they would push the limits of current FPS games. They announced new features, gameplay improvements, and returning fan-favorite game modes.

What You Can Expect

The fans requested it, and Activision delivered. The franchise is returning to the modern era. The same gritty, tactical warfare is back, but with a fresh take on campaign and multiplayer. The campaign is inspired by current geopolitical events, providing a relative and immersive experience.

One of the most anticipated updates is to the movement system.  Activision promises smoother transitions, fluid movement, and refined gunplay. Additionally, the new “Tactical Ops” game mode features large-scale skirmishes; with a changing dynamic depending on the outcome of the previous match.

The fan-favorite and free-to-play Warzone will also be overhauled when Black Ops 6 releases. Players can expect larger maps and a destructible environment. Integrating the base game with Warzone ensures all your progress carries over.

Activision also ensures that Black Ops 6 will take full advantage of next-gen hardware to give you jaw-dropping visuals. You can also expect faster load screens and realistic environments. The graphics should be consistent across platforms.

Unfortunately, unlike previous titles, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 does not have early access. Meaning you will have to wait until full release on 25 October 2024.

Final Thoughts

I am not a Call of Duty fan, but even I am anticipating this one. The return to a modern setting should provide nostalgia for veteran players; Also, the innovative features should keep it feeling fresh. The new mechanics, and gameplay updates should make this one of the most exciting games in the franchise. Fans have high hopes for this one, so Activision better deliver.
