Black Ops 6 players admit “crucial flaws” plague game as honeymoon period ends

As a long-time Call of Duty fanatic who’s been through the highs and lows of the series since its humble beginnings, it’s disheartening to see Black Ops 6‘s multiplayer falling short of expectations. The game’s campaign and zombie modes continue to impress, but the competitive component has left me scratching my head.


Although initial reactions and praises from fans, players of Black Ops 6 are now expressing dissatisfactions regarding the multiplayer experience, as flaws within the most recent installment of Call of Duty are becoming noticeable.

In contrast to the sequel’s campaign and zombie modes, which are still receiving positive feedback, the competitive aspect of Black Ops 6 has been met with criticism. Specifically, issues with the mode’s map selection and Time-to-Kill (TTK) have received negative comments due to their polarizing design and inconsistency in application.

Currently, a popular post on the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 subreddit has poured more oil onto the flames, criticizing not only the two previously mentioned problems but also numerous other frustrations as well.

Initially, the thread’s creator expressed that the initial excitement or honeymoon phase is past. They pointed out that there are significant issues with the game, particularly noting an inconsistent Time-to-Kill (TTK) and Time-to-Death (TTD) across different matches as a major concern at present.

They remarked that it’s remarkably peculiar. One moment you might feel invincible, dodging shot after shot like a comic book hero, and the next, you crumble with just a couple of bullets while your opponent continues firing, seemingly unfazed by an entire magazine.

The extensive feedback covered topics like matching players based on skills, advancement, and maintaining a fair gameplay balance. This resonated strongly with the community, receiving widespread approval.

One person responded by saying, “It sounds like you’ve captured my overall feeling about the situation,” which aligns with the writer’s viewpoint that inconsistency in TTK (Time to Kill) may be the primary cause of concern.

As a dedicated player, I must admit that the gun-levelling system has left me feeling quite disheartened. Three times now, I’ve found myself staring at the game’s main menu, pondering if I should continue investing my time in upgrading any aspect of the game, as it seems excessively slow for my liking.

“SBMM is brutal. The game never wants you to win more than two games in a row. Everyone’s W/L must be hovering around one,” another user claimed.

Long-standing Call of Duty players are well aware that with every new yearly release comes a set of initial problems, or “growing pains.” What’s still up in the air is whether the game’s creator, Treyarch, plans to address these issues based on player feedback.

Acting swiftly in advance might seem like a hasty response to the opinions of a small, vocal group, but given how often these discussions occur, it appears that modifications need to happen more quickly than usual on this occasion.
