Who doesn't love a battle pass? Well, hopefully you if you're planning on hopping into Call of Duty Black Ops 6's Squid Game crossover event, which kicks off today, January 3, and will run until January 24.
]]>Earlier this week, the very much expected double XP event kicked off in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 across all platforms. This is something that happens every year, and 2024 is no different.
]]>We haven't got long, so I'll keep this briefing brief, soldier. Call of Duty's just dropped a cheeky teaser for a crossover with Squid Game, that TV show everyone and their mum was utterly obsessed with a few years ago, and you've got a mission you need to complete before it drops.
]]>Season One has officially kicked off in Black Ops 6, following a major update. Apart from the new content, battle pass, weapons, maps and everything else players knew they were getting after the season goes live, it seems Call of Duty developers threw in an unexpected gift.
]]>With the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's own era of Warzone and all that juicy battle royale goodness, we've gotten a vast list of patch notes and intriguing information to go alongside it. However, one point is controversial to a subsection of the community: an adjustment to the ping threshold in order to curb VPN usage.
]]>It may not feel like it, but we’re closer to the start of Season 1 in Black Ops 6 than we are to the game’s launch. As we’ve come to expect from each new season, this one is also full of new content that caters to all players.
]]>If you have the misfortune of following Call of Duty as part of your job, you’ll know that every annual release is an exercise of Deja Vu: The Deja Vu. This goes for the games themselves as much as it does the community’s reception to them.
]]>Treyarch has released a sizeable new update for Black Ops 6. The update, which arrived last night on all platforms, contains a wide range of fixes that touch campaign, Zombies, but chiefly address a number of multiplayer issues.
]]>Over the weekend, Black Ops 6 had its first-ever double everything weekend to coincide with the release of Nuketown (and the Nuketown 24/7 playlist). Unfortunately, the event was a bit bugged, causing a number of players to lose out on some of their hard-earned double XP.
]]>Are you a troll? Do you like being a cheeky so-and-so? Then, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 may be the game for you right now, as its hardcore playlists allow you to flash allies for XP. It's not a lot of XP, and it's actively hurting your team's efforts to win the match, but it is funny. So, who can say if it's bad or not?
]]>You probably guessed that the minute Treyarch announced Nuketown is coming to Black Ops 6 that the game’s first double XP weekend was also going to kick off to coincide with the map’s release. Well, if you did indeed guess that, you’d be correct.
]]>Now that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has been out for around a week, some of the best and brightest players are chipping in on discussions on what guns are busted. These initial posts and speculatory remarks are crucial in the formation of the game's early meta, but one certain opinion has the community split. Are Assault Rifles too good? Or do people need to settle down and let the game simmer before making such vast statements?
]]>The race for Prestige Master in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is seemingly over, as a team of players appears to have secured the achievement on-stream before anyone else. However, this hasn't been without a bit of controversy, as screenshots of a VPN in-action have called into question the ethics of the first place team. Who doesn't love a bit of streamer drama?
]]>We’re officially past the launch weekend of this year’s Call of Duty game, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. This is usually when players start picking apart all the things they don’t actually like about it, as the honeymoon phase begins to fade.
]]>Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies currently has two maps for players to defend themselves from waves of zombies on, and each map comes with its own main quest easter egg for adventurous folk to discover and complete. In Terminus’ case, the main quest is lengthy and gruelling, with multiple steps for you and your squad to complete.
]]>Both Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies maps possess unique Wonder Weapons that with some work — and some luck — you and your squad can craft. These weapons will then aid you with completing the map’s main quests to an extent, while also giving you a high-rarity weapon to use against the incoming hordes of zombies.
]]>Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies has a fair amount of easter eggs for the most adventurous of players to discover and have fun with, as well as a lengthier main quest to attempt. One of the most interesting, and rather useful, easter eggs involves superhero, Aetherella, who’s present on the Liberty Falls map.
]]>Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies is no joke when you reach later rounds. These zombies, Abominations, and Manglers are increasingly tough and relentless, and only the most organized of squads or solo players will make it through the main quests and reach the final encounters on each map.
]]>Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies isn’t low on fun easter eggs for players to discover while attempting to plough through each map's main quests, and a personal favorite — the Liberty Falls bowling minigame — isn’t too hard to unlock once you know exactly where to look.
]]>Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies isn’t short of easter eggs for players to go about discovering and unlocking during their matches. These easter eggs provide a little bit of fun to a match, and in some instances, provide you with cool perks or abilities that can prove useful for mowing down hordes of zombies.
]]>The Jet Gun, also known as the Thrustodyne in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies, is a Wonder Weapon that can be used to suck things up. It’s necessary to complete the main quest on the Liberty Falls map, and can be used for other easter eggs hidden away on the map too.
]]>In Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies, Pack-a-Punch returns, allowing you to spend your hard-earning cash on upgrading your weapon of choice. These machines are pretty important to a successful Zombies match, improving your weapon in a variety of ways; increasing magazine size, damage dealt, fire rate, and more.
]]>Call of Duty is stuck in this weird spot of being both an industry-shaking success year after year that fails to completely please its core player base time and again. This year, it feels like Treyarch and Raven have gotten as close as possible to recapturing the 'lost magic' of the PS3/360 era while also improving on the unyielding formula across Black Ops 6's three modes in meaningful ways.
]]>The moment a lot of Black Ops 6 players have been waiting for is going to arrive sooner rather later. The BO6 iteration of Treyarch’s iconic Nuketown map will join the game’s list of playable maps this Friday - and it may even be the classic, clean version we’ve been missing.
]]>If you’re playing Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies, you’ll know that in order to survive as long as possible — and complete the objectives you’re tasked with — you need plenty of loot. Whether it’s legendary weapons, plain old cash, or killstreaks, it’s all worth having if you want to fend off the ever-growing hordes of zombies.
]]>Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies has plenty of easter eggs for players to go about discovering while mowing down hordes of the undead, and it won’t take you too long at all before you find the locked bank vault on the Liberty Falls map.
]]>It’s still early days for Black Ops 6, but a few of the top weapons and attachments are already turning into the best loadouts to dominate Multiplayer. But while the meta hasn’t fully settled at this stage, you'll definitely come across a few recurring builds the longer you spend playing multiplayer.
]]>The Call of Duty series has a history of amazing maps. Activision’s esteemed FPS is basically teeming with them; Shipment, Terminal, Favela, Rust, Firing Range - the list goes on. With every game, CoD adds more maps, no matter what banner they come under. For my money, Modern Warfare typically has the best (but then, I usually prefer that arm of the series to Black Ops). That’s all changed this year, however, with the phenomenal deployment of a fantastic map in Black Ops 6.
]]>Predicting that a Call of Duty launch is going to become one the year’s biggest is about as easy as it gets, but that’s not always the case on PC. For years, Call of Duty’s presence on PC didn’t really factor into its popularity, but things have changed with the release of the Modern Warfare 2019 reboot.
]]>With Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 out and about, a lot of time is being spent figuring out the new movement system. That makes sense, omni-movement is a major addition to the game that offers a lot of skill expression, not to mention it's a lot of fun. But with the good lurks the bad, and it looks like an infamous movement technique is back and better than ever.
]]>Have you played Call of Duty Black Ops 6 yet? The first thing you’ll notice when you boot up the game and jump into the single-player portion (if that’s what you’re into), is the theme. There’s one single horn, playing this gorgeous, simple motif, to start things off. Bass and drums build slowly in the background, and the scene is set - it feels solitary, isolated, one single unit awaiting a storm.
]]>After kicking off the campaign in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, you’ll wind up at a safehouse , which is hiding away a few secrets. These secrets — which consist of code-cracking and puzzles — are best solved as soon as possible, ultimately giving you enough cash to upgrade the safehouse’s amenities before your next mission.
]]>As players are rushing into Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, some of the more skilled players are figuring out the ins and outs of the game's omni-movement and gameplay settings. Through this day-one experimentation, they've discovered that a single setting is having a substantial impact on your aim. Yes, your aim too!
]]>Players have started streaming into Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, and already they're spotting slick features that help make the game that little bit special. This includes a working diving board, a nice holdover from Call of Duty: Cold War and a lovely bit of Treyarch magic.
]]>Using upscaling techniques to boost the performance of games on PC has essentially become part of the setup process. Even if you don’t consider the many games that simply won’t run at acceptable framerates without it, a lot of games certainly get a nice bump in framerate because of DLSS, FSR or Intel XESS.
]]>Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is only out for a select few around the world (and Xbox Game Pass subs, apparently). With the starting gun going off, players raced to try it out in its opening hours. But one player took to Twitch with a lofty goal: the world first gold camo unlock. Meanwhile, I'm at work. Figures.
]]>The full list of unlockable weapons in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is out in the wild, and the community is collectively jumping with joy. This isn't due to a certain gun being present. Rather, it's due to a certain absence from the arsenal available. The Riot Shield is gone. May it stay gone forever.
]]>The Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 hype train has nearly arrived at the station, with the game set to release in a matter of days. In part of the celebration, Activision has created replicas of classic gifs featuring Peter Stormare.
]]>It’s almost time to get our hands on Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, the highly-anticipated return of developer Treyarch, with everything that entails. Treyarch is known for its distinct take on Call of Duty campaigns and characters, as well as its unmatched mastery of round-based Zombies.
]]>Do you like video games that have something to do with Xbox? Well, if so, you'll probably want to tune into the Xbox Partner Preview show that's taking place later today, October 17. The good news is that you can watch it right here.
]]>Look, the vast majority of you 16-24 year olds (and older folks, let's be honest) can't afford a mortgage. But, thanks to a new Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 promotion, one lucky player out there will be able to net £100,000 towards their first house as part of the safehouse challenge.
]]>It turns out that legendary director Steven Spielberg is quite the gamer, and in particular loves Call of Duty.
]]>If you've been playing the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 beta, you've probably gotten used to messing around on Skyline and Derelict. What's interesting is, according to Treyarch, maps won't be getting much bigger than those on the official launch.
]]>Oh boy, it's happening again. The war between cheaters and Call of Duty's anti-cheat software is kicking off once again. This time, the battle is rumbling aroun the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 beta, where early testing of Activision Blizzard's home-grown Ricochet anti-cheat software is ticking away and stamping out cheaters where it can.
]]>The Black Ops 6 beta, which kicked off over the weekend, has been a little polarising. Call of Duty players are split on the new changes to movement and time to kill. And though many are having fun with the new body shield/hostage mechanic, there’s been a lot of complaints about game feel in the beta’s first couple of days.
]]>With thousands of players diving into the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 beta over the weekend, we're starting to get a taste of what the next few years of arcadey high-octane action will have in store for us. We're seeing intense movement, slick killstreaks gallore, but most importantly a hilarious wave of voice-chat clips thanks to the game's new human shield feature.
]]>Tonight is a big one for Call of Duty fans everywhere. No, it’s not the start of the Black Ops 6 beta, but it’s not that far off. Call of Duty: Next, the event dedicated to everything CoD returns tonight for a dedicated look at Black Ops 6 and the next evolution of Warzone.
]]>The time for our next hands-on opportunity with Black Ops 6 multiplayer is near. As we’ve come to expect from Call of Duty every year, the game is hosting a beta for everyone to try out the action prior to launch, and offer some feedback to developers.
]]>Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has made a surprise appearance at Gamescom Opening Night Live, with Katherine Anderson and Jon Zuck of Raven Software hitting the stage to reveal a brand-new trailer..
]]>The experience of finding, updating, launching and playing Call of Duty is about to change yet again. Activision developers are gearing up for a massive overhaul to the Call of Duty HQ launcher on PC, alongside several other changes to the way files are acquired on PC and consoles.
]]>Thanks to a massive new intel drop, we now know a lot more about Black Ops 6 Zombies than we expected at this point in the year. The co-op mode looks to be an overhaul to many of the underlying systems, but it’s also keeping a few classic features intact.
]]>Treyarch has officially unveiled Black Ops 6 Zombies, the highly-anticipated return to the round-based, zombie-slaying action Call of Duty has been missing for several years. This is more than just a new episode of Zombies, however, it’s a fresh start in a number of ways.
]]>Ahead of the first-ever look at Black Ops 6 Zombies mode gameplay later this week, Treyarch dropped a cinematic trailer that sets the scene for the return of the popular co-op mode. The trailer is Zombies’ opening cinematic, and it serves as an introduction to the characters we’ll be picking from, and establish the state of the world.
]]>Video game voice actors represented by SAG-AFTRA - one of America's biggest actors' unions - are going on strike. After over a year of negotiations with some of the biggest western publishers including Activision Blizzard, EA, and Take Two, negotiations have reached a standstill over one of the more controversial points of debate: AI.
]]>Suprise, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 — the 2023 one — becomes the first title in the series to hit Xbox Game Pass today, July 24, right in time for you to get in plenty of prep ahead of Call of Duty Black Ops 6's arrival. But just how much practice have you got time to get in? Well, never fear, we've done some ludicrous maths.
]]>We’re officially closer than ever to the release of Black Ops 6. And, as is custom, Activision has revealed new details about the upcoming beta, due to kick off late in August. The Black Ops 6 beta was announced alongside the game in June, but today, we get solid dates and some new information.
]]>Since the reveal of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 at Summer Game Fest 2024, many online have been gawking at the roughly 300GB storage requirement listed on the game's store page. However, the truth behind this figure is a bit of a mystery, even to some of the senior developers.
]]>If you've been worried that Call of Duty Black Ops 6 might require huge amount of space to install and play - say the 300GB listed on the Xbox Store over the weekend - then good news, it looks like it won't be that big after all.
]]>Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is bringing back old school prestige from Activision's earlier titles, allowing dedicated players to rest their rank up to ten times, with a master-tier 1,000 level leveling system.
]]>It's not too long until Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be in your hands, as Microsoft just announced its release date.
]]>Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be launching day one on Xbox Game Pass. This was announced via an official blog post on the Xbox Wire website, and while there's not a huge number of details on exactly how this will work, it's a massive move to tempt a new wave of players over to the subscription service.
]]>Activision's stepped up the teasers for this year's Call of Duty title recently, mainly by putting some blindfolds on stone versions of several former US presidents, but those hints now look to have given way to a proper promo push. Yup, it looks like CoD 2024 finally has its proper name - Call of Duty Black Ops 6.
]]>Xbox is reportedly set to add this year's Call of Duty - which is yet to be officially revealed - to Game Pass at launch, in what would be a first for the series and publisher. Naturally, this could in theory mean those with a subscription to the service would be able to grab the game without paying the usual price.
]]>You know last year’s Call of Duty didn’t do numbers when you start hearing rumours about this year’s entry so early in the year. Modern Warfare 3 was poorly received by critics and many casual players, and it broke Call of Duty’s best-selling streak in North America.
