Call of Duty: Black Ops 6is gearing up to be the next big game within the franchise, and as it nears its release date, expectations for the title are going through the roof. Like any game before it, though, it is having a tough time getting fans on board with its promises.
At the moment, and as expected from aBlack Opstitle, all eyes seem stuck on the upcoming game’s Zombies mode. Unfortunately, Treyarch claims that the game will feature one of the best Zombies modes yet, which is making some gamers doubtful when it comes to the developer’s capabilities.
Call of Duty Fans Continue to Remain Cynical of Black Ops 6 Zombies
From the introduction of Omnimovementto featuring what looks to be one of the grittier and action-heavyCall of Dutycampaigns, it feels as though Treyarch and Activision are genuinely trying hard to move past the failures of the franchise’s recent entries.

However, despite the claim that Treyarch has made the best version of round-based zombies withBlack Ops 6, gamers on the internet seem rather skeptical. Some of that stems from the disappointment ofCold WarZombies and its underbaked systems:
If it has the cold war point system. Then they lying.
On the other hand, some remain unhappy with the online-only mandate for the game mode:
It will be online only, it’s already one of the worst because of that alone.
But perhaps the biggest hurdle for Treyarch to overcome is the cynicism cultivated by the franchise’s fans over the years:
I’m getting the feeling we will be let down big time
At the end of the day, it is still too early to make any judgment calls on what Treyarch has cooked up, and it may be for the best to take its word for it and wait until the final product is in hand.
The Call of Duty Devs Are Clearly Feeling the Pressure
It comes as no surprise thatTreyarch and the rest of the development team are always under the most pressurewhen creating another entry in the franchise’s most popular sub-series.

Despite all the devs tried to accomplish withCold War, the entry ultimately suffered a myriad of issues. Thanks to the pandemic, the developers couldn’t realize their true vision for the game, and players were at least understanding.
Now, however, things are much different. Not only doesBlack Ops 6need to be a proper success for Activision and Microsoft, but it also carries the task of pretty much resurrecting the franchise after the highly criticized release of 2023’sModern Warfare 3.
So, it will certainly be interesting to see whether the devs can handle what’s coming and makeBlack Ops 6worth it for fans. From what we’ve seen so far, they might just make it.
But with that said, what are your thoughts on the game’s Zombies mode so far? In what ways will it differ from what we have seen inCold War? Let us know in the comments below.
