Since CoD is on Game Pass now I don't have to pay for these 70 dollar releases anymore (Well, haven't paid for any CoD since at least 2019), I figured I'd pop into Black Ops 6 for the hell of it. Needed something a little more fast paced and chaotic after being absorbed in the construction madness of Satisfactory over the past week lol
I played the open beta and was kinda turned off by the movement system, but that was a mixture of parts of the new movement and what was generally an awful map I played like twice. I haven't been into small scale COD multiplayer since like old Modern Warfare/Black Ops era, and I wish this had a bigger mode like Ground War, but it's been kinda fun. Some of these maps are tiny and awful though. That train map sucks, there's this temple one that is so small, you can spawn in on grenades that were thrown before you died. It reminds me of maps like Shipment and such which are the worst.
The movement system is mixed. I ain't a youngin' anymore, so my reaction time isn't as great and I'm not really utilizing the dives and such, but I do generally like the overall movement feel, faster backwards movement, it's got this nice feel most of the time and you don't have to participate in the sweaty diving nonsense to do okay. One thing that is nice after trying to pop into Warzone recently, is that I like playing this game fresh out of the package, there's not a 100 weapons and dozens of gadgets, perks, etc, that I have no idea what they are, it's all very straightforward, and everyone is also learning this game so while I have come across some sweats, it's a normal amount. I don't feel super overwhelmed like I was trying to get back into Warzone.
I'll get to the campaign soon too.
