"That's enough of your spooky ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥" - Maya

This review is mainly for Black Ops 6. I own every Call of Duty and enjoyed almost every one of them. I'm a huge fan of Call of Duty since Call of Duty 4/Call of Duty World at War days. But I have to say, I'm really disappointed with how Call of Duty brand is getting treated the last few years. Each passing year, the game gets worse, the greed of Activision gets worse, skins/eyesores gets worse. Not everything is bad, sure, the game feels smoother now, movement system is nice, guns feel better compared to MWIII etc. but overall Call of Duty experience is probably at its worst. The game feels completely sterilized, like we are playing an action game where we are killing enemies with guns that fire bullets but even the word "kill" is gone from the game. Instead we got "eliminations" and other softened words everywhere. Scoreboard is sterilized, it's a hassle to see how many kills you got and how many times you died. You can't even see how many kills others got most of the time (depending on mode), you just see objective score and whatever.

They are trying so hard to create (or imitate) their own Fortnite with the name Call of Duty slapped on it. Nonsense skins are pumped weekly to the game, each bundle comes with shiny, animated weapon skins that goes against what Call of Duty used to stand for. Back then the most ridiculous things we got were weed themed skins for weapons and maybe Snoop Dogg voice over. I mean, even that was unnecessary but at least there was a limit on how much a skin can change the game. Now whenever you die, you turn into green or pink goo.

There are so many things this game and a few other Call of Duty games that came out before this does wrong. I will only focus on Black Ops 6, but I will have to mention others too since at least 60% of the recently released Call of Duty's are same. I already mentioned how bad the multiplayer experience is, but it gets even worse even if you manage to look past to all those shiny ♥♥♥♥♥♥ skins/effects. Thanks to SBMM, have to sweat every match to get a win, the game literally punishes you for being a good player in this game. Like, if I wanted to sweat every match I played, I would play ranked. Just let me play my match in peace, I don't want to try hard every match to enjoy the game. Every match feels the same, like every match is scripted because you play against 6 other people that are your copies (same skill levels). It's like you are trying to beat yourself every match you play, you either try hard or lose the match. There are so many bad things ruining the game right now and if I tried to talk about all of them, I would have to write an essay. And also, they lied about round-based zombies. It is barely different than Black Ops Cold War zombies, it still feels like you are playing Warzone with zombies mode. It literally has no soul, just an empty shell trying to mimic what zombies used to be.

I will try to list everything that has to be changed or removed from Call of Duty for the series to go back to its glory. This is my personal list obviously, but I'm sure most OG CoD fans would agree with me.

- Call of Duty HQ has to be removed as soon as possible. Every game since MW (2019) feels and looks the same thanks to this HQ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. It is just an excuse to use the previous year's game assets, add a little more stuff, tweak a few things and here you go, new (not) Call of Duty. And that's not all, it almost never works as it is intended, it's a bloated mess. Back then, even main menus would feel different in each Call of Duty, but since the HQ, every game feels the same with just a different background added.

- Warzone has to be removed as well. Like, just think about. Call of Duty series started to go down at a much higher speed after Warzone was introduced. Since they realized Warzone is so popular (back when it was first introduced), in the next games they just designed a big Warzone map, used parts of that map to make multiplayer maps as well as zombies maps. At that point the main focus was and still is on Warzone. The whole game is designed around Warzone, multiplayer, zombies and even campaign is just a side business for them now. It feels like you are playing Warzone in whichever mode you choose, only the enemies and player numbers change depending on whether you are playing zombies or multiplayer.

- They have to stop shoving useless, bad looking, overpriced and unnecessary bundles into the game. Skins got so bad that sometimes you don't even feel like you are playing Call of Duty.

- Battlepass has to be removed and they should go back to season pass system. Back when they decided to remove season passes, players were happy that we were going to get the maps and all the content for free. But the truth is, since the removal of season pass, maps and every bit of content feels cheap, sterilized and copy paste of what is already in the game. Not to mention that we only get like 1-2 new maps and 2-3 weapons per season and none of them actually feels different or exciting. Back then a season pass would include 4 DLC's and each DLC would give us 4 actual new MP maps, 1 new zombies map and lots of other content that actually felt new and exciting. Battlepass system is just awful, there is no value to it at all. You just grind for useless skins, titles etc.

- Since BO6, it seems like they introduced battlepass within battlepass. Right now there is a mini-battlepass going on for TMNT event and they actually charge money for it even if you paid for the actual battlepass. This level of greed just amazes me. And this whole thing only makes the game even worse with ugly looking skins.

- Emblems and titles has lost their meanings for the past 6-7 years. Back then emblems and titles meant that you actually did something hard in the game and earned those emblems and titles. Nowadays animated titles and emblems are everywhere and obviously, you have to pay for the most animated, shiny looking titles and emblems.

- Operators have to be removed. It's been years since they decided to with operators and I still don't understand what's the purpose of that in Call of Duty. I mean like, surely they are only there for them to sell us skins for each operator but that has to be their only purpose. Operators have to be removed and generic soldiers should be used like in the older CoD games.

- Maybe not true for BO6 (at least yet) but they have to stop spamming attachments for weapons. Like there are only a handful of useful attachments and everyone only uses the same attachments on every weapon. Adding lots of useless attachments to the game doesn't make it more customizable, it just makes the game more confusing. But this is probably on purpose, so they can sell you "optimized" blackcell weapon blueprints.

- Talking about blueprints and blackcell, both has to go. If you count blackcell pass too, right now you have to buy 3-4 passes to get every shiny skin. I know blackcell also gives you the normal battlepass but you pay double, so it doesn't make any sense.

- Winner's circle and taunts has to go. No one cares about that. Just show the damn scoreboard and end the match just like in the good old days.

- SBMM has to be removed from casual matches. It should be only used in ranked matches. It literally ruins the fun.

- Zombies should be much much better. Once Warzone and its related things are removed, I'm sure every mode, including zombies will be much better. Loadouts, armor plates, minimap, huge health pool and lots of unnecessary things that ruined the mode has to be removed.

- They should consider releasing each game with 2-3 year intervals. If not, then even doing everything I listed above would save the series, even with yearly release.

- They should generally stop trying to please everyone. This is Call of Duty, and if it is not for you, then you play something else.

I'm sure more can be added, but these are main things that has to change.

Hopefully one day...

I wont be buying another. Hacking has taken over the game.

very bad game so many sweats

I only will recommend this game to anyone who has loved zombies since BO3 or wants to get into zombies without entering the hell of Shadows Of Evil as their first map. Zombies has never had this much progression and genuinely fun bosses to fight against. I would give this game an 8/10 on the fun meter if we were looking at Campaign and Zombies only.

If you want to get this game for Multiplayer, look elsewhere. This year's multiplayer is completely devoid of fun and wants to suck as much money out of you with bundles and crossover events. If you want to experience an actually fun COD multiplayer, I'd look at getting MW2019 or even MW3 2023 when on sale. I would give this year's multiplayer a 4/10 on the fun meter.

Overall, if you think you'd get enough time out of Campaign and Zombies, I'd recommend getting Bo6 when it's on sale.

Hello players!

if you are not sure about this game that you will play it and enjoy it and you are thinking about buying this game CoD Black OPS 6. In that case you will simply return it. So I advise you DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! because I bought this game yesterday 2/24/25 and today 2/25/25 I am requesting a REFUND of CoD BLACK OPS 6. Steam refuses to refund me because I have played CoD WARZONE for 33 hours. But I have played exactly 0 minutes of Black OPS because I found that game to be an absolute mess.
I'm not talking about the money that I'll miss, I'm talking about the principle that due to a "wrong" purchase, I put €79.99 into a hive of crap that I will never play in my life! Thanks STEAM for the SCAM even with your refund policy

Hello, guys... I'm new on Steam, could you help me to get my first award ever, please? :) 💚
