Call of Duty: Callback Classics Head to Black Ops 6

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Delivers Classic Modes and Map Updates, Addresses Post-Launch Issues

Following its recent launch, Black Ops 6 is swiftly adding fan-favorite content and addressing player concerns. The highly anticipated Infection mode arrives tomorrow, October 31st, followed by the iconic Nuketown map on November 1st. This announcement, made via Treyarch's Twitter (X) account, confirms Activision's commitment to regular post-launch updates.

The game, released October 25th, initially included 11 standard multiplayer modes, plus variations and a Hardcore mode. The addition of Infection and Nuketown further expands the already robust offering. Nuketown, a staple since its debut in Call of Duty: Black Ops (2010), promises nostalgic thrills on its 1950s nuclear test site setting.

A recent update tackled several post-launch issues affecting both multiplayer and Zombies modes. Improvements include increased XP and weapon XP rates in key game modes (Team Deathmatch, Control, Search & Destroy, and Gunfight). Activision assures players that XP rates across all modes are under constant review.

Here's a summary of resolved issues:

• Global: Resolved loadout highlighting, Bailey operator animation, and "Mute Licensed Music" setting functionality.
• Maps: Addressed exploits allowing players to exit designated play areas in Babylon, Lowtown, and Red Card. Red Card also received stability improvements. General in-game interaction stability has been enhanced.
• Multiplayer: Fixed matchmaking issues preventing quick player replacements, resolved private match forfeits with zero players on a team, and addressed the persistent Dreadnought missile sound effect.

While some issues, such as loadout selection deaths in Search & Destroy, remain under investigation, Treyarch and Raven Software are actively working on solutions. Despite these minor setbacks, Black Ops 6 is widely considered a top-tier Call of Duty title, particularly praised for its enjoyable campaign.
