I played the open beta and I’m going to give you the gist of it. Yes, it was nice to see wildcards, the classic perks and leveling up weapons was just simple and straight forward, just like in the classic CoD. However, what kills Black Ops 6 is the same garbage that everyone has been dealing with since 2019.
EOMM is still present. Now they monitor your voice chat by recording every words you spew out of your mouth, that is how many end up in Shadow Ban Lobbies. To know that you are being recorded it’s the more uncomfortable, anti-social experience I’ve ever had playing a video game, even more so, when you have mute option. This is nothing more than an anti-American move to censor people.
If SBMM/EOMM were present in older CoD titles, it was never noticeable. Lobbies stayed together. After a match, everyone just talked trash, make people laugh, trolled, made bets to see how many kills you can get since ya like to run your mouth, map voting, and most important, there was as sense of community and many of use made friends. This has been missing since 2019.
For the most part, everyone communicated as a team, grab the objective, go for the kills and just laugh man, but that was back in classic CoD. By comparison, Black Ops 6 is pretty dead silent and that’s pretty much what Activison and the develepers want, shut your mouth, play the game, spend money on the store.
Call of Duty is $69.99 and yet, they bombard you with a free to play model with an over price tag for every cosmetic and cosmetic bundled sold; even upwards up to $100.00 dollars. Not withstanding, the amount of cheating that has been and continues to be present even in a Black Ops 6 BETA of all things. The “Ricohet Anti-Cheat might as well be none existent.
