The latest game in the Call Of Duty franchise, Black Ops 6, was recently unveiled with much fanfare. Fans were eagerly waiting to see what the developers, Treyarch, had in store for them this time. And they were not disappointed.
Last year, it was Starfield that stole the spotlight after the Xbox Games Showcase. This year, it was the turn of the highly-anticipated Black Ops 6. The game was looking better than ever, with its impressive omnimovement system and intelligent movement mechanics. But what really caught everyone's attention was the over-the-top, Hollywood-style action that the series is famous for.
While we got a glimpse of the game's setting – the 1991 Gulf War – there is still some mystery surrounding the story. Players will take on the role of rogue operatives trying to uncover a conspiracy, with a possible appearance from the controversial figure, Margret Thatcher.
But the real surprise came when it was announced that the game will be online-only for all modes, including single-player campaign. This means that players will need a permanent internet connection to play the game, even if they have purchased it. While this is a common issue with many games, Black Ops 6 justified it by claiming to be trying to reduce storage space by streaming textures as they are needed. With a massive 310GB install size, this is a legitimate concern, but it does come at the cost of players who don't have access to a reliable internet connection.
One thing that won't carry over from previous Call Of Duty games is cosmetics and unlockables from Modern Warfare 2 and 3. This is not unexpected, as Black Ops is a different sub-series with a different developer. However, it remains to be seen if the next Modern Warfare game will continue this trend.
Another point of contention is the fact that players will need Game Pass Core to access the multiplayer mode. Game Pass Console subscribers will not have access to it for free, which has caused some disappointment among fans. But with an October 2024 release date, there is still some time for things to change.
Despite these issues, Black Ops 6 is shaping up to be a highly anticipated game, with its release on multiple platforms including Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and PC. And with the added bonus of theater mode and a 10-level prestige system, there's no doubt that fans will be eagerly waiting to get their hands on it.
