Have you heard about the new audio feature in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6? It's causing quite a stir on social media, with many debating whether it's worth using and if it's even free to use. The game itself has received praise for its fast levelling system, new maps, and innovative omnimovement system, but this new audio feature has fans divided.
So what exactly is this feature and why are fans unhappy about it? Well, it's called Enhanced Headphone Mode and it allows players to customize their audio experience when using headphones. This feature has been met with criticism as it is not included in the base game and players have to pay an extra £15 to unlock it. This has led to accusations of the game having a pay-to-win element.
But what does Enhanced Headphone Mode actually do? According to a blog post from the developers, it uses Embody's Immerse Spatial Audio technology to improve the directional accuracy of in-game sounds. It also prioritizes important sounds, such as those of enemies, over other sounds like teammates. Additionally, it includes a feature called Head Related Transfer Function, which simulates how sounds are affected by the shape of the player's head and ears.
Now, the standard version of Enhanced Headphone Mode is free for all players. However, the customizable version requires a five-year subscription, which has caused some backlash from fans. Many feel that paying extra for a feature that should come with the game is unfair. However, there is a 30-day free trial for the customizable version, giving players a chance to try it out before committing to the subscription.
But do players really need Enhanced Headphone Mode to enjoy the game? The answer is no. It's simply an embellishment and not necessary for gameplay. Plus, many high-end headphones already have similar audio options. While it may improve the audio experience, it's not essential to enjoy the game.
