REVIEW FOR BLACK OPS 6 (copy of review on BO6 page)

total review - 4/10 had potential but squandered it

its like they seen what made MW2019 good and did the opposite in as many ways as possible, i only play hardcore and "tried to play" zombies so idk what the experience is like on core or the campaign, but most of my complaints are pretty much universal.

- first and foremost, ONLINE ONLY including campaign and zombies, and in zombies you aren't the host, you join a lobby (even when playing solo), which has a pause timer that if expired will exit the game (i do like the save system, but not being able to host and not being able to pause the game for more than 15 min is just stupid). i didn't realize that is was online only till after i went over 2 hours so i cant refund :(

- Buggy af, constant menu issues and graphical errors, this is a EA not a full 70$ AAA game

- re-spawn game modes are a slog due to bad spawns, constant spawn killing, largely due to bad spawn mechanics, but also cause the maps are too small with too many Penetrable walls (ex. nuketown, (how do you mess up nuketown?) will be killed in spawn by players in opposite spawn by pin) or too open/too many corridors will little to no cover (that isn't pin-able)

- latency so atrocious, most matches are at 70+ ping, i have no ping issues in any other game. it also only searches for matches for reasonable pings for a few seconds at most before upping the search range, let me set a limit so i dont get 70-80 ping matches, im fine waiting on that (vs emotes and play of the games, but ill talk about that in the next part) so i actually enjoy the game. also PACKET BURST, WHY IS THE REASON ITS ONLINE ONLY SOMETHING AS DUMB AS TEXTURES, MAKE IT OPTIONAL AND LET ME PLAY OFFLINE/ WITHOUT CONNECTION ISSUES

-1.5 min of "BEST PLAY"/"Watch 3 people emote at the screen" at the end of a round instead of starting the next. i only have so much time, id rather not spend 10 min just watching terribly clipped kill-feeds. and the emotes at the end of the match is pointless and dumb, just do emotes like in MW2019.

-AI art in calling cards, is a Billion dollar company, you can afford to pay artist...

- the load-out system while i can see what they were trying to do, it def is a miss, the gunsmith stuff is fine(ish) but it overall feels less customize-able than previous games
(edit) messing with it some more, you can do more things vanity wise but less practically. what i mean is skins and camos are more customize-able but you cant run akimbo with scopes/stocks and there isnt many gun mods that greatly affect how the weapon handles, both positive and negatively. the progression is mid, to unlock sights one must rank up multiple guns (which i kinda get but it would be better as a "X kill/headshots or what ever OR Y kills/headshot with x weapon" with Y being a smaller number.

(edit 1) zombies is mid at best, armored zombies make it a slog, too many "elite" zombies make it more frustrating than interesting, and quick revive only works once, as in it stay a equipped perk once you use it and cant go get it again
(edit 2) i do like the new movement system, i just wish everything else about the game was better than it is :(
(edit 3) why when you switch zones do all the zombies respawn... thats just dumb...
(edit 4) i would rather just play BO3 zombies, this zombies is a 4/10 AT BEST

i will update this if the game fixes these issues before i quit or if i find more ways to articulate my frustrations.

yes


Now for the actual review... sorta...

General review -

Fast pace FPS with great advance movement, big Titan Bois, and lots of booms and fun. 11/10 would let BT throw me again

Single player -

Story:

Having played through the game on normal and master this is my opinion of the game.

The actual plot is rather generic but that doesn't matter cause that's not the focus of the campaign. The focus of the campaign is between two things:

1) The dynamic between BT-7274 and Cooper (you)

2) unique levels with unique setting, level design, set pieces, and additional game play elements (gimmicks but in the good way)

Progression through the game is great although the best missions are around the middle (not that the ending is bad, just the most re-playable and fun mission is 5, you understand When / If you play(ed) it)

The balance on master is kinda iffy, but that being said i didn't play for half a year before i jumped into master so maybe i just sucked :P (the difficulty would be a little bit less than halo 2 on legendary. you get sniped... alot... but once you get used to it you can usually avoid it)

There is so much more i could say but i don't wanna end up saying too much. If you are some convinced even a little buy this horrible review just by the darn game.

Multiplayer -

yes

(will actually review once i play more actual multiplayer, i mostly play the defense game mode cause i have no one to play with and i prefer to play multiplayer with friends). I've spent maybe 10 hours in the multiplayer and i enjoyed it so far, so if that's enough for you, go for it.

it good. but could not be buggy. plz fix, i wanna play again. only first play-though wasn't that buggy. tried another and couldn't play.

Very yes.

WOE

Detailed review:
( i will work on this as i play more of the game, so it will be rather basic atm... plus it very late and i have work in the morning... i really dont feel like typing a essay atm :| )
Is this game FUN. Yes, yes it is. is the mulitplayer bad. yes, but stable at least.

This is a good game WITH A TON OF MODS, dont get this game if you like games you can play vanilla, but if you love game that are mod based, this is the game for you!



Edit - 4/14/2021
cant recommend it any more. its been dead for several years now and i doubt Badspot (the creator) will do anything to bring it back. Which is sad cause it could have been so much more.
