As a long-time Call of Duty enthusiast who has spent countless hours honing my skills in Black Ops 6, I find myself deeply frustrated by the current state of third-person emotes in Multiplayer matches. The exploitation of this feature to gain an unfair advantage over other players is not only unsportsmanlike but also undermines the very essence of the first-person shooter genre that Call of Duty has always represented.


Players of Black Ops 6 are advocating for a fix regarding the third-person emote they feel should never have been included in the game, as they wish to see it removed from the gameplay.

Since its release on October 25, 2024, Black Ops 6 has swept through the Call of Duty fanbase and the broader gaming community like a whirlwind.

In simple terms, Microsoft announced that the debut of the latest game set a new high for the series in terms of sales and established a new record by attracting an unprecedented number of new subscribers to its Game Pass service in just one day.

With improved gameplay mechanics, a reintroduction to the classic round-based Zombies mode, and numerous other additions, Black Ops 6 is rapidly gaining traction as a top choice for fans of the franchise.

However, this isn’t to say that the game isn’t without its flaws or issues. Its third-person feature has already become a topic of conversation. While CoD has always been an FPS, the franchise has slowly but surely introduced more third-person action. 

In Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 (BO6), players have the option to switch between regular and alternate views while engaging in Zombies mode. In the Multiplayer setting, users can switch to a third-person view when activating emotes. Notably, this feature has been exploited by some players to gain an advantage over their opponents.

In multiplayer games, employing emotes can be risky because once activated, you’ll be tied up in the animation sequence. This leaves you vulnerable to being eliminated without a chance to retaliate or protect yourself.

In other words, employing third-person emotes strategically can serve as a shortcut for players, enabling them to spot approaching enemies even when they wouldn’t have noticed them otherwise, particularly if the enemies are hidden behind corners.

On Reddit, many Black Ops 6 players are urging the developers to fix this particular feature, with some finding it humiliating that it was included in the game to begin with.

As a passionate admirer, I can’t help but exclaim, “Amazingly, this seems almost too good to be true!” One Reddit user echoed my thoughts, stating, “This discovery simply shouldn’t be possible,” while another concurred, “What a fantastic find! Absolutely, it demands immediate attention for fixing.

Additionally, it’s worth noting that the Call of Duty community has previously voiced their disapproval over similar features in other games. During the Black Ops 6 beta, for instance, players were already expressing reservations regarding the incorporation of third-person emotes.

This is gonna be a huge issue. Emotes should be in first person.

It’s amusing that an issue which surfaced during the Cold War era has resurfaced, according to another Reddit user.

In the short term, this tactic allows players to eliminate foes undetected, but whether the game designers remove it remains to be seen as time progresses.
