Call of Duty®: Black Ops 6

This is a game for cheaters. If you use any kind of aim bot or hacks this is the game for you. You wont get banned either so no worries there. So if you are into a fast pace hacker vs hacker game look no further this is the game for you. However, if you play games to enjoy them and have fun don't waste your money here.

Honestly, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 feels like it's at a breaking point, and it’s tough to ignore how much it’s overdue for a serious overhaul. Yeah, I get that microtransactions are basically the norm these days, but they can't be the only focus of a game. It’s hard not to feel like this is just another cash grab from Activision – and that completely ruins the vibe when you’re actually trying to enjoy the game. Let’s talk about the online experience: it’s riddled with cheaters, which is becoming way too common in games like this. And, oh man, the user interface is just clunky and frustrating. Navigating to multiplayer shouldn’t feel like wandering through a digital maze, but here we are. Not to mention, the game files are so bloated that every update feels like an eternity, and constant crashes make you want to pull your hair out. You shouldn’t have to restart your game just to get back to the action! And can we discuss skill-based matchmaking? It’s like casual gameplay has completely vanished, leaving us with intense matches that feel more stressful than fun. Plus, if you finally manage to find a good group of players, good luck sticking together; the game just kicks you out without warning. Adding friends is another hassle with the confusing menu setup, which just makes everything feel like a chore. At this point, it’s frustrating just trying to get into a game. All of this makes you feel less like a gamer enjoying an epic battle and more like someone trudging through a mountain of menus and ads. It's disappointing, to say the least. Black Ops 6 has potential, but it desperately needs to reconnect with its player base before it loses them for good.

This is probably the best cod from a core gameplay perspective since like MW2019 - but honestly the simple act of just launching the game is such an unnecessary pain in the ass, it's ruined it for me. This is supposed to be an ultra-casual shooter, but after a full days work and a full evening of spending time with my family, the last thing I want to do with my handful of free time before bed each night is waste it watching the fucking shaders compile because of all these these stupid micro-updates every week that refresh the cash shop with more junk I'll never buy.

great campaign and pretty fun multiplayer but it, just like any other video game, is not worth 70 fucking dollars (75 with tax) video games need to cost less especially if they're only going to have as much content as they did back in the early 2000s. not saying that it's bad that they don't have a crazy amount of content, but publishers should stop acting like they do.

I like the game. I don’t like the fact that the game has to have a constant internet connection to play. You can’t play this game offline everything is online even story mode need an online connection to play it.

Arguably has the most significant falloff in COD history. What started as a kind of return-to-form after the last couple entries has turned into the usual mess it advertised it was moving away from. Campaign is stellar and an absolute must-play Call of Duty story, picking up storylines from Black Ops 1, 2, and Cold War. Multiplayer is pretty much the same as you'd find it in every game between Modern Warfare 2019 and Modern Warfare III 2023. Mechanically, the new omni-movement system does provide some new gameplay opportunities, but the game is monetized like crazy and really takes away from the experience. Zombies started as an improvement over the last couple entries, finding itself as a mix of Black Ops 4 and Cold War zombies. That being said, it has a lot of handholding reminiscent of WW2 zombies.

I've not plated COD for a while because I've been busy in life, I thought I'd treat myself (seeing as it was on sale, £70 for this game normally). I played for less than an hour. What on earth has happened to this series? It is awful, such a bad game, I understand they push micro-transactions (that's the norm now), but look at the characters, this game looks like it was developed for 6 year olds, I thought call of duty was about warfare, not running around in cosplay costumes like a bunch of fairies. Compare this to Call of Duty World at War, now that's a proper COD game. Don't play this. I'll try the next COD but if is anything like this, I'll be done with COD, which is such a shame. The end of an era for me. If you like this sort of game, go play Fortnite instead.

Lmao good job using AI. Treat your employees better. Also this game most likely fucked my RAM sticks, maybe even a second time. GG

Bro, i havnt even started the game and i already hate it. from having to modify my steam account, make a activision account and add a fucking phone number consider me not keen. sorry but since when were vidoe games more than click play? how many accounts for shit ill never play again do i need? every single one apparntly and its really not a selling point.

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME IF YOU HAVE OVER 3 HOURS IN CALL OF DUTY AS IF YOU TRY TO REFUND IT AS A DLC STEAM WILL BLOCK THE REFUND AS IT WILL SHOW TOTAL PLAY TIME BETWEEN ALL CALL OF DUTY GAMES

Every 2-3 rounds the game encounters a direct x error and crashes and the lobbys are super laggy and buggy.

I was able to fit it on my SSD alone. Because you know. 260 gb is alot for a single game. But tell me why, it now takes 400 GB AFTER A SINGLE SEASON CHANGE AND CAN NO LONGER FIT ON MY SSD. Not only is it AI slop but its so unoptimized and so uncompressed I will now have to choose on playing Call of Duty or uninstalling everything else just to run this dog shit.

Disgusting use of AI in this game. For a company this large, AI usage should not even be considered. People are paying some crazy amounts of money for rewards made by AI and the quality is absolute dogshit. This is all not even mentioning how unethical generative AI is for real artists as well. The voice actors pulling out was a warning and its going to get worse fast. On the gameplay side, the Zombies mode suffers from being post Cold War zombies in that it does not follow the original zombies formula. Me and my friends play WaW, Black ops 1, 2, and 3 way more individually than Cold war and BO6 combined. Having to advertise this game as the "Return of Round based Zombies" just to get people excited is so telling of how little effort went into making this game, how little fans care for what Activision has been doing recently, and how terrible recent gameplay decisions have been.

Campaign's good; a little bit goofy compared to previous Black Ops entries. Feels like a Marvel Captain America movie at times. Haven't tried Zombies. Multiplayer's good but after a few days it just feels miserable and it drains the life out of you probably because of the SBMM. I just want to level my guns, man. Fuck. Overall just feels like a worse Cold War. Not sure if I'd recommend it.

[Disclaimer: I'm mainly focusing on zombies, but will touch upon other aspects] The campaign was really fun, and things felt fresh upon launch, it looked like we were in for a fun ride over the next year. Then, the bundles. I didn't mind the crazy skins at times, I guess it was inevitable. But then, some of the assets looked odd. Then you hear about the layoffs in the art department. Their use of AI in the game was starting to concern me, but I was excited, a new zombies map was coming out before the year's end! The map was amazing, fun, and replayable, but one glaring feature remained. Suddenly, S.A.M.'s voice was different. It didn't sound right. You look back for a comparison to make sure you aren't insane, only to find out it was retroactively changed. Then, you learn why it was changed. At this point, all hope is effectively gone. Until another map is announced early in the year. It was so intriguing to get another map so soon. You re-download it and boot it up. The wonder weapon, usually in a set of four, is isolated and seemingly out of place. The music, an obvious nostalgia bait. The boss fight? Haunted furniture with enemies that can one-hit you. TL;DR - It's sad to see a game with such promise on launch suddenly crumble apart faster than a sand castle against a tsunami.

Really bad game dont recommend buying. Ranked trash, playerbase trash, sweats everywhere, always packetburst, zero sbmm(in raked you will always get people who are worse than you) everything they wanted to change basically got even worse. Taking time off would be great if they would change somthing but the seem not to care (sadly had great potential).

game had crazy potential at release but ruined it with micro transactions and lazy ai generated slop, game is genuine fortnite slop now

Was good around release, but tons of AI generated content- which was originally undisclosed, and their disclaimer doesn't cover just how much they use. Now they just want your money.

Would I reccomemd… HELL NO! Had not played the game is 3 weeks but still had it installed. Cpu process stats showed it was running 24/7 even when my pc was not powered on . Monitoring my pc for hidden processes and tasks and discovered cod was not only running a ghost process in the background while running other games but keeping my system on in a low power state as long as it had an active ethernet connection! How fun! It would schedule to turn on a low power process for 3 minutes after a shutdown if was to successfully return 0 or when the pc had bandwidth of over 15% or 5 minutes of inactivity. It would then not turn itself off until COD was turned back on or the conditions were not met. Uninstalled that shit and forcefully removed every trace of it and the dlls it installed to facilitate its ghost process. This game is not only infested with cheaters but it tries to network your pc to use for distributed processing without permission or compensation. Those are extra resource expenses and processing time I am paying for, for ZERO gain at direct personal detriment. 95% of people would never notice and I am sure that is why they do it. Scummy as hell to take advantage of customers to such an egregious degree. I hope valve takes action on behalf of the player.

Imma be real with my review. Game is fun and all i can't deny that, actually the most fun i've had after playing MW3 2023, Zombies is great too. But thanks to the fully and completely working Anticheat i got a temp ban because the game AND my PC constantly crash after 2 or 3 matches and thanks to salty toxic players spam reporting you. If you want to take the risk to get banned for your game crashing or simply killing someone, then this is the right game for you.

Trash game. COD multiplayer keeps getting worse and worse. Sbmm cranked to the highest. Can’t play a single game without hackers

This game's kind of a joke. A multi billion dollar studio with all of the artists and design talent earned from a longstanding legacy once again churns out a set of some of the worst maps in the series on top of an engineering disaster that is the new IW engine. The lack of any anti-aliasing, opting for pure GPU upscaled garbage makes this game look like mud and runs significantly worse than Cold War. The previous generation of CoD games (Warzone 1 era) all ran excellently on my hardware and I spent a solid chunk of time on them. With this being my first entry in the Warzone 2/CoD HQ batch, it's shocking how this game just can't maintain 60 fps and looks worse than the previous games. It's a shame because the Zombies and MP are such a huge step up (outside of the lack of Outbreak mode) and when it works, it plays really good. But the constant server disconnects, crashes and needing to reset the game because of a steam connection hiccup does not make this game worth keeping on my drive for 135 whole gigs. This isn't even mentioning how genuinely terrible most of these cosmetics look and how clearly AI-made the calling cards and skins are. Which I am very much thankful for- as this game does an excellent job at saving you money because the lack of a consistent vision on the cosmetic packs and total confusion on what it wants to do. People weren't kidding when they say the series lost its identity pretty hard, as none of these battle pass designs look like they're worth a shit and given how the team is opting to save money by generating all of this through AI; this makes the art team look incompetent. I appreciate their honesty in how much they want to cut costs from their art department because you immediately know that the quality of the content pumped out for the game is going to be worse than the immediate competition. A passing glance at any of the weapon skins being overdesigned garbage with barely legible text or excessively dazzling particle effects just makes you question who these are made for because most of them genuinely look terrible. They're all muck that's desperate to grab your attention with bright colors and really basic themes that have all been done again and again. The only ones that really feel like they had artistry put into them are all referential from the series' legacy but they all require you to poopsock the game for Prestige to get them. Complete pass from me, get Cold War instead.

209 hours in, just prestige mastered. I think I'm free? Not from the game, I'll stick around 'til everyone else jumps ship to the next Call Of Duty. But I have no faith that my issues with the game will be rectified in later entries... so I won't be coming back for Black Ops 7. First, the positive - though others seem to hate it, I'm actually enjoying the omni-movement. I always mashed the run button anyway, so it actually doing something is nice. Going back to Cold War (how I miss you)'s multiplayer felt agonizing after playing so much of this. Being able to slide AND dolphin dive is just the best. The gameplay of multiplayer is fun, in my opinion. ... I also like the Zombies map Terminus. I sort of latched on to Cold War Zombies' lore trying to enjoy it despite its mediocrity, so I like the main cast too. Even if I didn't, having a real cast is certainly better than just... operators (sorry, Beck from Cold War, you know I love you). So yeah, that's about it for the positives. The negatives? A.I., A.I., and A.I. are the three biggest issues. First of all, a lot of the graphics are (quite obviously) A.I. generated. Second, most of the text is (quite obviously) A.I. generated. Third, if a lot of those voice clips (Blanchard, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, etc., and yes, there are Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles...) actually AREN'T A.I. generated, then voice actors, please listen - refine your craft right now, because you absolutely cannot let your deliveries be confused with current A.I.. The A.I. use is by far the laziest thing I've seen from a video game. There are things they could have SCREENSHOTTED FROM AN EARLIER GAME that they just chose to A.I. generate instead. That should probably be enough to convince people not to bother with this slop, but beyond that... though multiplayer's gameplay is fun, the maps themselves are just atrocious. Mostly tiny and uninteresting design. Skyline has a little passage between both sides of the map where you can enable a security system which is neat, but that's about it. The zombies plotline, if you still care, doesn't really seem to be going anywhere. There's Peck, Weaver, Raptor One, all the characters you barely remember and... tolerate? I say that as someone who likes them - do you REALLY care? I mean, REALLY? Beyond "ooh weaver from the campaigns i liked". Richtofen's up to something, there's a machine that canonically sounds like Sam but there's (rightfully) some voice actor drama behind the scenes so it doesn't ACTUALLY sound like her. But do you CARE? There's third-person in Zombies now. DO YOU CARE?! Don't buy this!

This has to be the worst COD experience i've ever had. Spent 80 euro to try the campain and it failed on every single aspect! cinematics every 5 seconds, clunky gameplay, poorly responisve enemies, 0 degrees of freedom. What happend to the MWF 2 and 3 days? This game is not worth more than a couple of bucks, stick to WZ, alteast its free!

This is my first CoD, I haven't played Warzone or anything else. Can't speak for the other games in this series but this one ain't great. From what I could play of the campaign it's ok, nothing crazy fairly generic, you're set up with a team to hunt down a paramilitary group who's developing a bioweapon or somesuch. Got a little over halfway and the game starting glitching out and wouldn't let me play anymore so that was fun. I haven't played zombies mode so I can't speak on that. As for the multiplayer which is where most of my 150 hrs of playtime comes from, the gunplay and movement is good but everything else is a disaster. Half the maps are ass, crashes and bugs galore with the game having some extreme server lag every few games (my buddy gets it too it's not just me). The skill based matchmaking sucks, one game it'll put you in with players who might as well be bots, and when you sweep that game the next one it puts you with sweats. There's no in between. Also there's a paid battle pass for a $70 GAME! It's just too much I can't anymore there's so many better games I could be playing. 4/10 only cause I had some fun playing with my buddy, but a whole lot more frustration.

ranked system is bullshit constantly putting me against better players just to demote me, been trying for 2 days constantly to rank up but still at silver since I am always 1st on the scoreboard but my teammates are literal bots. Also campaign is garbage do not buy this game.

Only thing good about this game now is the campaign. I cannot stand the AI slop they're using to maximise profits, I will no longer support Activision until they hire back all the proper Artists they replaced with AI. And neither should you.

Black Ops 6, leading up to its release was promising to be one of the better call of duty in a long time. Due to the fact they want to keep implementing AI to generate their content upon release, the game fell off quickly. The game and series as a whole has seemed to have lost its own identity and grips at other IPs to stay relevant. It tries to implement FOMO during their limited time events, should you miss out on the limited time events, have no fear they allow you purchase them . Also why does any of the newer CoD games need to have this Call of Duty sub-hub / launcher implemented within every game. Game was a major cash grab, would not recommend. When you make a game that tries to appease everyone, you appease no one. Your money would likely be better spent on Battlefield 6 instead

Don't buy this. You won't be able to refund it if you just wanted to try it anyways, since it uses your collective hours from warzone and call of duty. This game is truly terrible and I'm never getting a cod game again.

I really enjoy the game. Not so much the skins and all that bs but the game itself is great, if you are good at it…

Chat moderators will ban you for using the same language they use throughout the game. One upset person in the lobby and one curse word latter you are chat banned. THIS GAME IS RATE M FOR 17+ FOR STRONG LANGUAGE, there should not be any chat moderation in the lobbies.

Full of AI generated assets, fired then replaced voice talent who have been with them since 09 for refusing to fall in line, and won't give me my damn money back. Thanks for ruining what could have been your best release yet, Activi$ion. I've been loyal to the series since BO1 but this one made me quit for good.

Worts matchmaking i've ever experienced BY FAR. Feels like the game deliberately puts you in hard lobbies, 10 games in a row where the score is so aggressively slanted to one team, it just doesn't make any sense and in not fun at all. definitly not the COD experience we've come to expect over the years

hire ups are too money hungry to hire artists so they have to use AI art to advertise events. yikes.

10/10 game. If you really hate your life and want to embrace the suck then this game is for you. You will never experience joy or fun playing this game. The anti cheat is ass and every lobby is full of cheaters despite them saying they are working on a fix. So you can look forward to getting shot through walls, shooting fucking marshmallows and getting spawn camped in this rendition of sweaty discord mods saying you have no life and thinking they are better than you. Despite them smelling like a mix a onions, body odor, and rotten dick cheese. If you have a full time job and want to relax, you can do so while screaming at the top of your lungs and getting com banned for saying the word "fuck."

Game had it's peak at release, then season 1 came and now the game is absolutely awful. Bundles are overpriced and booty looking. The days of CoD are done, this game is awful, don't waste your money

this is my 1st ever review on a game. THIS GAME IS UNPLAYABLE. from cheaters with wall hacks and auto aim, to lagging out of games because of server issues. glitches between games where you cant do certain things because its bugged. spending $70 dollars on a incomplete trash of a product is honestly disappointing. dont buy this game.

If you are a bit skilled in this game every 2/3 weeks you get shadowbanned for at least 1 week and you cannot do anything about it. I even contacted support and they said nothing can be done, i even asked what led to the shadow ban and they simply don't know. Their excuse is that it is a decision of their security team and they don't have access to the motives which led to me get banned again for nothing, they keep saying i violated somethingf of Call of Duty Security & Enforcement Policy but no. I do not have Voice chat or Text chat enabled so its not even for toxicity. I'm Speechless and i hope BF6 releases soon

600 GB of bloatware and fornite skins. Gone is the golden age of Call of duty. Why do these companies have to ruin EVERYTHING?!?! Running out of franchises to ruin. This one is pretty much toast at this point. Wall hacks and aimbots everywhere and it seems that no one is even trying to fix it. BUT you can run around as a rainbow cat because that is something the game needed (yes this is sarcasm) Save your money, look for better games. They may not be as popular, but this one has fallen to the mentally ill.

The game is a mess. Terrible servers--even in solo modes, gameplay bugs constantly, public matches are just ranked games because of the EOMM/SBMM is turned all the way up. Some design choices I found weird at first (like the pause timer in solo zombies) I could grow to play with and understand, but as time went on, I just never understood any decision outside of financial gain for Activision. $25 cosmetics constantly that can include DLC weapons early. Even after spending $70 on the base game, they still try to have you spend even more money on the game constantly. I still am mad about the Squid Games event--where they force equipped the skins onto people. The only logical reason I heard for that was to push the event onto people to try and buy the items. What makes less sense is that the camos in Warzone were bugged for the longest time, but remained while they pushed the cosmetics. [b] They put foundational issues in the base game on hold while pushing cosmetics to purchase. [/b] That is what BO6 is. The game had potential in the early months and I was excited--but it feels like playing an EA sports game with how shitty the gameplay feels and predatory financial systems. It has just been a downhill slope since launch and even if I play it occasionally with friends, I cannot recommend this nonsense.

Preys on nostalgia, AI art used with minimal editing, just playing it because friends have it.

The worst optimised game in existence constant crashes. Random sign outs and direct x errors. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME ON STEAM EVER

Imagine fighting against a chameleon who turns you into weed upon death. The preseason and first couple of weeks were somewhat good/enjoyable with friends, but after that, the skins made me cringe every time I opened the game. It got so bad that I'm actually over the whole thing. This is the last Call of Duty I’ll ever buy.

i do not recommend this game because this game is a cash grab and they will have MW4 out by next year. but i mean its call of duty right? i have to get it. 0/10

As a mouse and keyboard player, this game is not good. MW3 felt crisp and athletic, while BO6 feels like you're running on roller blades through molasses. Everything is an animation, just feels like you're constantly fighting the movement to go where you want it to. It might be better on controller

gets boring really fast, don't buy, it's not worth it

i thought BO6 would bring back my passion towards COD and FPS games in general but no this game is not fun at all the map designs are horrible and the entire game is oriented around getting you to purchase skins and cosmetics

With all appreciation and respects behind the efforts of awesome people who worked on this game, I DO need to inform you about two hand in hand problems that is ruining everything fascinating about this game: 1- ttk and 2- maps And no, sbmm is NOT the problem at all When we have a very fast paced shooter with a LOW TTK and a SMALL MAP that have many ways to get shot at, you are strongly either encouraging a game for extreme RUNNERS (use ping advantage) and CAMPERS (use ranged weapon damage advantage) Which also makes these strategies very very reliable on your teammates for support to not get shot from BEHIND which well you always cannot rely on them, THEREFORE, this makes a great scenario to buy cheats like wall hacks for people to overcome these UNCERTAINTIES and that’s the reason cheating is such a huge problem in this game!

Just got kicked out of a my solo session of zombies, because apparently they need to host on a server the game for which you downloaded 200Go in order to let you play solo. I quit COD years ago because of the predatory practices, and made the mistake of buying this one because the zombie mode seemed cool. Don't buy it guys, for the sake of the video game market.

I really loved Black Ops 6, but it's nothing but AI Generated slop now. I can't bring myself to play it again. Don't use generative AI in your games. It looks terrible and it shows your laziness.
