The new Call of Duty game just released and many people are saying that Call of Duty is good again but is that true? The game released on October 25 for $70 and is free on Xbox Game Pass. The game includes a campaign, zombies mode, and a multiplayer mode.
I have only played the start of the campaign, but I can say that it definitely is a fun and interesting story. It is set in 1991 and the main group of characters are rogue operators that work on their own to take down a group called the Pantheon. The entire campaign is around 11 missions long and should take about 5-6 hours to complete. There are many different types of missions that include stealth, action filled fighting, or figuring out puzzles.
Since this Call of Duty is a Black Ops that means that zombies are back in Call of Duty. This year’s zombies include two maps so far, Liberty Falls and Terminus. Liberty falls is a map in the middle of a town with a bowling alley, bank, and a cathedral. The pack-a-punch machine is inside the cathedral and you have to go through a portal-like door to get to it. Terminus is a map on a big island with a cave system and an underground lair with smaller islands around it. You can buy boats and go to different islands but why you are in the water bugs will spawn and spit acid at you. If you are in the water for too long then a kraken tentacle will come out of the water and spray a gas on top of the water that chases you at the same speed as the boat. The pack-a-punch for this map is on a lift that goes up and down from the top of the island to the basement. The zombies are overall pretty fun and the easter eggs are pretty cool.
The multiplayer side of this game is a bit different this year. They changed the way you get vamps and added a new form of movement called Omni movement. The camo progression this year is extremely easy. You don’t have to level up your gun at all and there are only three challenges. The first challenge is one hundred headshots for every gun and then each gun will have two separate challenges specific to that gun. The movem by is very similar to Modern Warfare 2019’s movement. It is mainly sliding around and tactical sprinting but there also is the annoying dolphin dive to deal with. The gameplay feels good and the guns feel fun to use but the TTK is very high this year making the headshots somewhat challenging to get. Overall the multiplayer is very fun and I will play this multiplayer a lot more than past Call of Duty’s.
Call of Duty Black Ops 6 is a very fun game and very well made. I give this Call of Duty a 8/10 because of its challenging yet fun play style.
