Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Receives Classic Modes and Map, Plus Post-Launch Updates
Following its recent release, Black Ops 6 is adding two highly anticipated game modes and a beloved map. Treyarch, the developer, announced via Twitter (X) that the popular "Infected" mode will launch tomorrow, followed by the iconic Nuketown map on November 1st.
Infected and Nuketown Enhance Black Ops 6
Infected, a staple in the Call of Duty franchise, pits players against zombie-like opponents in a thrilling survival challenge. Nuketown, originally featured in Call of Duty: Black Ops (2010), is a fan-favorite map set in a 1950s-themed nuclear test site. Activision previously confirmed a plan for regular post-launch content additions, ensuring Black Ops 6 remains engaging for players. The game launched with 11 standard multiplayer modes, including variations with disabled Scorestreaks and a Hardcore mode.
Black Ops 6 Update Addresses Player Concerns
A recent update addressed several issues reported by players. Improvements include increased XP and weapon XP rates in several modes (Team Deathmatch, Control, Search & Destroy, and Gunfight). Activision stated that they are actively monitoring XP rates across all modes. The patch also resolved several bugs:
- Global: Fixed loadout highlighting, Bailey's operator animation, and the "Mute Licensed Music" setting.
- Maps: Addressed exploits allowing players to leave the intended play areas on Babylon, Lowtown, and Red Card. Red Card also received stability improvements. General in-game interaction stability was also improved.
- Multiplayer: Fixed matchmaking issues preventing quick player replacements, prevented private matches from forfeiting with zero players on a team, and addressed a continuous missile sound effect in Scorestreaks.
Further updates are planned to tackle remaining issues, such as the problem of dying upon loadout selection in Search & Destroy. Despite these initial post-launch challenges, Black Ops 6 is widely considered one of the best Call of Duty titles in recent years, particularly praising its enjoyable campaign.
