Call-Of-Duty-Black-Ops-6 |OT| Even the Truth Lies Apparently Phil.

Season 1 does admittedly look very good. Happy about Hacienda coming back. At this point I'd rather they just give us a load of Black Ops 4 maps for the rest of the year, assuming they're saving BO1/2 stuff for Cod 2025.

A silly question but how do you use a knife in MP? I have one equiped but every time I push R3 you hit with your gun?
 
That's a crazy amount of content for season one. I hope the battle pass is like the old games where you just unlock stuff as you progress rather than choosing a sector and unlocking stuff that way, it was just busy work and I never got to get a lot of the weapons.

Don't know why they don't go for more nostalgia bait and bring back more beloved maps from previous Black Ops titles.

Maybe we'll get one with each season, fingers crossed. More would be preferable.

Bastards took out face off moshpit. That should be a permanent playlist!

Edit: Panic over - it’s now a filter.

Still no Pro patch?
There has been no mention of it in any patch notes but its showing up as enhanced on the store now

I've noticed it's like 2% sharper in 120 mode maybe some sort of DRS thing going on but to be honest it still has that lower res hazy look to it.

I don't think it's using PSSR or anything yet. If I'm honest I think it's just being labelled as enhanced because of the ever so slight bump which is quite dissappinting.

Top tier shooting game.
Despite the constant hate it gets, it's always has been one of the best brain off mp experiences.
I dont mind the omnimovement personally, but movement speed in general is too fast, especially for these maps and for the TTK of the game.
The recon specialty needs flat out removing, ruins the game for me.
Maps are all garbage too except for Red Card, Vault, Vorkuta and maybe Lowtown. But even they suffer from the problem of being able to be seen from every angle all the time.
Yep, Omni movement wouldn't be an issue if it wasn't as fast as it is rn, you can cross nuketown before the enemy is even finished picking a loadout.
Also the constant abuse of the Left Stick from all the running makes me worried for my controller, I'd prefer limited sprint with a higher sprint speed over the mess that is tactical sprint (cold war had the best idea)

Maps are ruined by bad spawns and how fast you can cross, even the bigger ones like red card and vorkuta can be crossed quite quickly, and as you said, bad sightlines.
They're not as bad as some of the worst cod maps but it's a very mid map pool. And lowtown didn't need that underwater area.

Well recon has been nerfed to oblivion. Read online it’s gone from 1.5 seconds to 1 second. It’s almost useless now.

The beauty for me personally is that it's in fact a "brain on" activity, similar to a competitive sport, where you have to make a series of quick decisions and use brain-body coordination to express those decisions.

Of course, you can tone it down and just have some fun, but if you want that solid dopamine hit, you gotta go all in

That gamepass effect. Im not sure whether MS will be happy or sad at this news.

The deluxe upgrade (vault edition) is top of the sales charts on Xbox too.

Microsoft get the Gamepass subs fees and then a $€£30 upgrade fee too. Presumably those players aren't running through the campaign on a one week trial.

Edit: just realized I'm replying to a 2 week old post.

A victory for spawn campers I guess. I will continue to use Recon because it has my favourite perks.

Season 1 sounds lit as fuck, Heirloom is the kind of visually distinct map the game needs, castle map for zombies sounds godly, Directed Mode should have been an option from the start, everyone is looking up the full walkthrough anyway, no way someone could figure out all those steps by themselves lol.

I tried to play on xCloud (basically Series S via stream) and wow... the aim assist on the controller is so aggressive, but thanks to that I still can play pretty well on there. Or maybe it's because a long time ago I played a lot of Call of Duty on Xbox 360 :messenger_grinning_sweat:

With Warzone launching S1 might actually be bigger than launch in terms of player count
Yea maybe. I’m not a massive warzone player tbh. But I have friends that are. They seem a bit disappointed that there is no new big map and just a resurgence map. But resurgence is my fav warzone mode. So it’s all good.

I can’t wait to finish this camo grind and try the campaign and zombies.

I think I might do a perk as well..

You aren't doing camos you said?

I'm doing it but that silly baseball bat will take forever
I am not intentionally going out of my way to grind camos but I play with other guns once I hit gold on some

I did not want to do the bat at all but once new weapons drop in Season 1 should be able to totally skip the bat

At this moment in time, I am rocking the XMG light machine gun with 150 rounds in the mag and a thermal scope.

In true cunty fashion I also have 3 smokes and a Molotov. I throw smoke everywhere, sit in the middle of the chaos, and don’t take my finger off the fire button.

My K/D and W/L ratios are on the way up 😂

Little Update on my camo grind:

Level 35- prestige 3.
I now have 28/33 weapons on diamond. Generally its pretty easy to get diamond on them.
However, I am working away on the launchers. I got CIGMA to gold (glitched challenge) and now on the dreaded HE-1 for gold......

I am also playing Nuketown and as I don't have all weapons unlocked to convert to diamond (and working on launchers), and its giving me more of a chance to try some weapon blueprints I hadn't really before.
For example, the reward for level 50 prestige 2, is a weapon blueprint for the Model L. It makes the gun look and feel like the STG44 from world at war and WWII. Its really cool!

I look forward to unlocking the operator in prestige 3 with the bag over his head!

Damn how are you that high already? From the bonus XP last weekend? I had to wait like a week and a half to even be able to play the game but i caught like half of the double xp weekend and have played often since then and i'm only level 37 right now. Seems like our own double XP tokens are also locked until the season starts?

I think you get XP when you unlock camos. So naturally you level quickly when camo grinding. This HE-1 challenge is a literal nightmare.

Pretty dumb having to shoot down kill streaks with a launcher that wont lock on and I swear mine has clipped through CUAVs a few times and did not detonate

I am never getting 3 done in one match with this thing :)

Yea I just did the Cigma which says is the same challenge but goes up by one for every UAV you destroy. But the HE-1 has to be 3 in one match. Its mental. I may end up giving up on this and just using a dlc weapon to get to dark matter.

UPDATE: I just shot down two UAV in a match and it counted towards the total. Strange

Yeah this challenge isn’t getting done for me, I can’t hit a single UAV or CUAV :)
