This year will be particularly exciting for Xbox users and especially for fans of Call of Duty. Activision’s famous franchise finally arrives on Game Pass, with it already included Modern Warfare IIIand a release that promises to be one of the biggest in the saga; Black Ops 6. This will be the first title to launch on day one on the serviceand Activision and Treyarch They assure that this will be their most worked game in recent years (its development took much longer).
During this first contact, we tried Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 in early access, and I can tell you that The sensations of its multiplayer were rather positive. I will mainly focus on its gameplay, since it is one of the features of the new Treyarch title. There is some important news, but let’s look at it in depth.
omnidirectional movement
This characteristic promises to become the trademark, and not that of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6but of the rest of the titles to come in the saga. It’s surprising that it took this long to implement, but once this omnidirectional control was tested, the change was quite noticeable in the agility of our operator.
As soon as you enter Early Access, The game invites us to get started with its new gameplay by testing ourselves on a training ground. But if you’re new to the saga CODI assure you that there is nothing to fear. It’s about following some very simple guidelines, with which we can instantly master these movements. It is now possible to sprint backwards and to both sideswhich, combined with other mechanics, results in the most agile game of the entire saga, by far.
These movements allow us, for example, to enter a building like Max Payne, throwing ourselves sideways towards the door to surprise the enemy. Doing this in a corner can result in an epic loss, but it’s also very practical if mastered. Another very interesting way to use these movements is, for example, to launch ourselves from a certain height, while an enemy attacks us from behind. He quick 180º turn allows us to surprise him by falling.
Similarly, when we are crouching on the ground, we can also turn completely around and crawl in all directions. Aiming and shooting while prone while crawling backwards will give us a brutal advantage, and so on in many situations. Thanks to Treyarch, we will see incredible victories.
Early access maps and modes
Many people remember the Black opspartly because of its superb maps. The greatest exponent was the legendary Nuketown, which perfectly represents the golden age of these titles. For its sixth release, Treyarch has prepared some excellent 6v6 scenarios for us that will lead to all kinds of situations.. As well as working perfectly with the modes I tried, these look very, very good, with fantastic visuals in all of them.
If you ask me my favorite, I would choose Horizonwhich takes us to a luxury penthouse with swimming pool and secret areas to surprise the enemy. It is perhaps the most vertical due to its height, making it perfect for getting the most out of omnidirectional movements. Then we have Abandoneda place in the middle of the forest filled with abandoned wagons and a small structure in the background, ideal for a “sniper”. In scud We will evolve in a more open environment, in the middle of a ruined military base, also having some hiding places and some narrow shortcuts. Ideal for a sniper.
The last card, and the one I liked the least, is Rewind. Its distribution makes it the most horizontal, without the possibility of going through other height levels. Plus, it doesn’t result in such spectacular games, although if you’re one of those looking for the most direct confrontation, then you’re in luck. The modes I have tried are the classics Team Duel, Domination and Hot Spot
The potential of Call of Duty Black Ops 6
After testing early access for a few hours, it became clear to me that the multiplayer of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 This promises, and a lot. Mainly, as I mentioned before, I focused on its gameplay, since omnidirectional movement is one of the game’s strong points. It offers the player a series of possibilities that make the experience more complete and agile, all with the technical power typical of the latest versions. The sound and graphics are fantasticas expected.
I also really liked the cards that I was able to try as a whole, without seeing the rest. It’s still early, but considering what Treyarch promises with Zombie mode and Campaign mode, I think I’m not exaggerating when I say that we are facing a game that risks joining the list of the most popular of fans of Call of Duty.
Remember to follow all the information on Black Ops 6 in the Xbox Space so you don’t miss anything about the new Treyarch title.
I have traveled to worlds you would never believe, putting an end to enemies beyond mysticism. I felt my pulse quicken with each battle, and the sigh of someone who knows he will have to get back up. There’s always a villain waiting and an adventure around the corner.
