Call of Duty: Black Ops 6

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is the 21st main installment of the bestselling FPS series published by Activision, and the sixth installment in the Call of Duty: Black Ops subseries, started in 2010.

The game is the result of collaboration between a number of development studios under the wings of an American publisher, led by Treyarch and Raven Software. In addition, teams such as Beenox (authors of the PC version), High Moon Studios, Infinity Ward, and Sledgehammer Games also participated in the development.

Campaign

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 gives us a story campaign in which the action takes place in the early 1990s, just after the end of the Cold War. It is a continuation of the events presented in Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War. Moreover, it includes references to memories from the 1980s, which we could see in Call of Duty: Black Ops II.

The campaign is written in the style of a spy thriller and features characters familiar to fans, such as Frank Woods and Russell Adler, as well as completely new ones – Troy Marshall and Jane Harrow. Following the trail of a global political conspiracy, we visit places including the Russian tundra, the Middle Eastern desert, Southern Europe, and the United States.

The core of the story are missions, during which we have to both act quietly and participate in spectacular events with intense shootouts. We can use weapons and gadgets straight from the action movies of the late 20th century. Between the missions we visit the hideout that acts as a hub where we can learn more about individual characters and the plot, unlock various upgrades, solve a number of puzzles, and finally choose the next assignments.

Multiplayer

The second pillar on which Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is based is the online multiplayer mode. It includes both the main variant of the game for two six-person teams, as well as the Strike mode, designed for 2 vs 2 or 6 vs 6 matches. 16 new maps have been prepared for the game's launch – 4 for Strike mode and 12 for the main mode.

This is not the end, as the Prestige system (Classic Prestige) returns here, thanks to which after reaching the highest rank we can gain access to various bonuses. The game also features a cinema mode and offers new interface settings. The latter include the ability to change the position of the minimap and completely disable selected HUD elements.

Zombies Mode

The third pillar of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is the Zombies Mode in which we repel successive waves of the living dead, fighting alone or in cooperation with other players. As we progress, we unlock various improvements that increase our combat potential, and consequently - allow us to survive longer on the battlefield. At the time of the premiere, two maps were made available to us - Liberty Falls and Terminus.

Omnimovement

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 offers a completely new, realistic character movement system, called Omnimovement, which was prepared from scratch. Thanks to it, we can run smoothly, slide and dive in any direction. It is also possible to rotate in a lying position, which further increases our freedom of movement and expands the range of tactical possibilities on the battlefield.

Game Pass

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 was released on Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass.
