Thinking of purchasing Black Ops 6? This handy article will tell you all about why you should.
Call of Duty Black Ops 6 released with a very loud positive reception from the fans, both new and old school. However, with a $70 price, you would be justified in your skepticism regarding the game being worth all that in the first place. In this article, I want to talk about everything that you get in this package and hopefully put your mind at ease with the decision of getting this game.
Buying this game is only the first step in getting to play online while looking cool. You can always buy CoD accounts to skip having to climb to specific ranks or reaching weapon masteries to get those really cool skins everyone likes. The time you spend trying to get achievements is time away from playing in whatever way you prefer, so skip all that if you want!
What You Get?
You mainly get 3 things when you purchase Call of Duty Black Ops 6. You get:
- The campaign mode
- Multiplayer mode
- Zombies mode
All three of these are spectacular pieces of what make a whole package. Let’s dive into each.
Campaign Mode
Call of Duty black ops 6 sends you back in time to the 1990s to be part of this espionage thriller during a time of high tensions and political paranoia. The story is dark and gritty and rather than focusing on a bombastic war it’s about covert missions by small teams and the psychological toll of working behind enemy lines.
You will play as various characters in the story, some recognizable faces as well as brand-new ones. The campaign is structured to give players more agency, with a branching narrative and optional objectives that influence how missions unfold. The way the game plays in this campaign is a lot more open.
Focusing on letting you decide how you infiltrate a building, or if you want to do it loudly or quietly. So try it out and get lost in this great story as you subconsciously train yourself to step into the fray in the multiplayer mode.
Multiplayer
The multiplayer mode breathes new life into the game by adding a lot of extremely fun mechanics that took everyone by surprised when they were announced. The main one being the omni-movement system allows players to dive and sprint in any direction regardless of where they were aiming.
This sounds simple, but in actuality it changed how every player approaches the game and made an already fast playing formula play even faster than before. You can also take unsuspecting players as body shields, and it opens a mic communication between the two, which is great for trash talking!
Maps
The game also features great maps that are made with this new movement mechanics in mind. As well as some classic ones that return with slight changes to adapt to the new mechanics.
The game has fewer guns than some previous entries but with a vastly different. This is helped by the return of the gunsmith mechanic that gives you different attachment for guns that change almost every stat to your liking.
Game Modes
Another great thing about this multiplayer is how many modes it has. Most of the classic ones are back, like team deathmatch, but there are plenty of new ones with a great focus on competitive play. The latest season added some more as well, so you can expect more modes to drop in the future. Which brings me to the next point.
Live Service
This is a live service game, which means you can expect it to be updated and for it to have content drops for years after it’s finished. It also gets wild crossover events with shows like squid game, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and more! There’s also events that give the game temporary multiplayer modes that you can try out.
Zombies Mode
Call of Duty Zombies makes a triumphant return in this game, and it takes you back to the old days because round-based gameplay is back in! Previous titles had tried different approaches like open world or objective based, but why fixed what’s not broken?
This mode also features the same movement mechanics as the rest of the game, so you might be thinking “how are these zombies going to be an issue if I can practically just parkour away?” and to answer this the devs made the Zombie AI a lot better. Zombies will climb walls, doge bullets, flank you and even try to cover exits as they swarm you and your coop partners.
This mode now also features better special enemies that have various effects like swarming parasites and screechers that make surrounding zombies faster and deadlier.
Another great aspect of this returning mode is the many upgrade mechanics that it offers. Now you can upgrade your guns with branching paths to make them fit your playstyle, and it has over 108 perks to choose from. This mode also gets more content as the game lives on.
The last season dropped a new map, enemies, and perks! This was also a reboot for the main zombies story, so you don’t have to worry about not understanding where everyone’s at or what they’re doing. Just dive in and enjoy!
In Conclusion
Black ops 6 is one hell of a package. For the price of one game you’re basically getting 3 and 2 of those are live services that you can enjoy to the fullest.
Although the game does feature microtransactions, which admittedly shouldn’t be in a fully priced game, you can still enjoy the game for its fantastic gameplay, thrilling campaign, and nostalgic zombies mode. This will surely keep you coming back for more with each coming season and crossover.
Personally, I find this package to be extremely worth it, but you can always wait for a sale and get it then!
