New mode coming this week. Players are disguised as objects and need to be hunted down.

Well, if the maps weren't mostly shit and the spawn points even worse, people leaving en masse wouldn't be that big of an issue. Also, the team balancing is pretty busted. There are very few matches where it's close and I've been playing this one a ton. Either you're the windshield or the bug in this one and they need to do some serious work on this game.

Its shit when you join a game mid-match and there's only two people on your team and the other team has full streaks. I ain't staying.

I'll try it for a laugh then go back to real combat lol. I'd much rather have Capture the Flag back

I agree that the matchmaking has been not as tight as MW3 or MW2 lots of blowouts on either side. I have been having a lot of lag in my games not sure if others have noticed any connections issues.
I find the maps pretty weak in this game so far. At least Nuketown is pretty fun, I also like subsonic, payback and hideout.

prop hunt, black ops staple mode, has been in blops3/4/5 and now 6.

Agree as well that it’s not as good as MW3 as far as match balancing. I’m at Prestige 2 and I’m shelving the game until they do major work on this one. It needs a large amount of QOL changes already. Which, is a shame because the gunplay and graphics are really wonderful.
My top 5 issues with Blops 6
1: Spawns need massive tweaking
2: Team balancing overhaul
3: Maps need to be reworked
4: Netcode needs revamped
5: Fix the lag and rubber banding
I was really looking forward to this being my main FPS, but as it stands now, it’s not a better game than Cold War or MW3.
In fact, I’ve redownloaded Cold War to get my fix until they get to fixing Black Ops 6. And I’m a realist, we’re in the holiday season now and I don’t see those changes happening until the new year.

They'll be a classic map playlist before long. Or they'll add loads in seasonally. Treyarch's DLC maps so far have been a disaster.
Unlikely to see anything from BO2 though. That's coming next year and to be honest I'm slightly hyped for it. This gunplay on BO2 maps should actually be fun (with a VPN).

Fair enough - After they fix the cheater issues, make better maps, and tone down scorestreak hell.
Asking for a friend, when does the double xp even start today..?

Tbh I really hope it is permanent. At this point I’d just be happy to play stakeout and pit. That’s it. I want shipment but treyarch never do it as it’s an IW creation and they seem to think nuketown is their thing. But there no comparison. There’s a reason stakeout is the most popular voted map in the game. We need a similar sized map that allows score streaks though.

Jesus, no double XP on the battlepass. They really are being tight with it, and want your money. This has to be MS influence.
Only providing 1100 CP for fully completing it (900 max providing you reach at least 70%).
No double XP battlepass tokens in the battlepass itself.
Very slow progression.
No double XP battlepass on the first double XP event.
*sigh*.

Just double double instead of triple double is pretty lame; can't remember the last time it wasn't triple double...

They definitely nerfed the battle pass token earn rate. It's about 1 an hour now. Thankfully I'm pretty much done from the zombies grind.

Afterlife camo grind complete, time to get Nebula on some of my favorite guns

Can’t agree with the majority of this.
Games don’t come much more polished than COD in my opinion.
Most of what you have mentioned there are just side-effects of fast-paced MP games where you are at the mercy of the network. For example, I know not to play after 10pm in the UK or I’ll get a noticeably worse experience.
Not a fan of SBMM either, but I fear that’s here to stay.
Maps are very subjective. I think rewind is my least favourite (the visual clutter of the packed shops makes it tough to see enemies) but I don’t mind any of them in the right game mode.
I do agree that Cold War is better. But not MW3!

Prop Hunt gets old after about 30 seconds, give me CTF please.
Anyone have a guess what the unlockable Veteran perk will do? Kind of intrigued by it.
Edit: just entered prestige 5

Yea it doesn’t feel generous at all. For stakeout they need to increase the score limits too. Matches ending too quickly.

I'm on Prestige 7 now, 90% of that due to the zombies camo grind. Only a third of the way through Afterlife so tons of xp left to get with most of the boring work done.

A lot of XP to be had on that grind and the afterlife grind is actually very easy and can be quite chill
I did several weapons while watching TV and never leaving the starting area just camping on the roof of the gas station and takes each weapon about 18 minutes to do
Currently doing nebula but in no way am I doing all the weapons for that as many I will never use in games anyhow

Have a nice flight, love C4 lol
Again having one of those nights where my team seems to be braindead not understanding/caring that objective based modes aren't about running around - or worse - hanging all the way back as a pussy sniper racking up kills.

Yeah I've been listening to music. Know Liberty Falls like the back of my hand, and the radar sweeping a UAV feels quite cheap but makes the whole experience very 'podcastable'.
I plan to go into directed mode for Nebula. If you can get a mangler elite to spawn with the LTG on round 12 or whatever it is then you could get one gun done in 10 minutes or less.
I'll go through all of them. It's 10k XP and I always felt last years camo was too much effort. The 60 minute time limit made grinding guns very tedious,

The hardest part for me on the nebulas grind is running out of essence to PaP my guns so have to farm awhile to build back up.
You likely know this but if your get the abomination to spawn when placing the LTG kill him and all the zombies then quit and save until you get the much easier to kill manglers to spawn as once one spawns that’s all you get are the same type of elite
The manglers I can kill with level 2 PaP but it’s much easier with level 3

Keep Mustang and Sally or the Ray Gun as a secondary then soften them up to near death. Also useful for clearing rounds as quick as possible.

I had been using an LMG at level 3 but thought about switching to the explosive rounds pistol to soften them up, didn’t think of trying the ray gun

Not even considering it personally, pretty happy with how nebula looks
Side note about to hit prestige 9 but will have to wait until Sunday as families plane about to land and head our direction
Happy Thanksgiving everyone

Found this to be a great spot in the Pit:
Experimented with using smoke *without* thermal scope, it works great! Lack of visibility adds to the overall chaos and it becomes easier to pick off people running around like chickens with their heads cut off lol particularly in small, tight maps like this. Also great for capturing in Hardpoint

Apologies for the double post but these skins are getting out of control, just logged in and saw this:
Glowing neon dragon, shark and raccoon were bad enough but now they are putting in cel-shaded crap? Yeah, let's just mix and match art styles hodgepodge and have no visual consistency, game seriously needs a toggle for this shit.

If people stopped buying it, this has to be record breaking revenue just from every single player I encounter running around in a $30 skin.
I’ve never seen an uptake like this, they usually wait until the end for the batshit crazy stuff. But it’s CoD so I know what to expect and don’t care.

Overall, I've been having more fun with this game than any other COD in a long time, but as mentioned by others, what the fuck is up with the team balancing? Whenever I have a great round, have a high objective score and/or k/d ratio, no matter what, the next 3 or so rounds I'm paired up with absolute dog shit tier players. I get the concept, but it seems like it's overly aggressive.

It is overly aggressive.
To the point that in a few months the frustration gets too much and people quit playing.
Last 3 CoDs have been the same. Alot of friends I used to play ranked with just stopped playing altogether. They are back now for new CoD but Skill Based Match Making will turn most off again real soon.
How the fuck can I a Diamond 2 player (above average) be playing the 6th best player in the world! And it's not a one off happens all the fucking time with Iridescent and Top 250
At least other games only do SBMM in ranked modes but not in normal MP

If it feels overly agressive, then you are above average at the game. The system is designed to benefit bad players so they stay on for longer and buy more bundles. You win a couple, then you lose a couple. Over and over again until you meet your personal bs threshold and log off.
The attitude towards above average or veteran players is 'fuck them, they'll keep playing anyway'.

I wonder how many people on earth get all cards legit, including the dark ops ones.
Earn a Nuke with 25 different Weapons (all Kills towards each Nuke must come from a single Weapon).
-> Yeah, won´t happen.
