Well, if the maps weren't mostly shit and the spawn points even worse, people leaving en masse wouldn't be that big of an issue. Also, the team balancing is pretty busted. There are very few matches where it's close and I've been playing this one a ton. Either you're the windshield or the bug in this one and they need to do some serious work on this game.

Honestly I wish they would add a 10 min cool down penalty to anyone who leaves a game mid-match. Probably the worst I've ever seen for cod in terms of leaving games. Doesn't feel like games fill up fast enough mid-match if someone leaves.
Its shit when you join a game mid-match and there's only two people on your team and the other team has full streaks. I ain't staying.

I agree that the matchmaking has been not as tight as MW3 or MW2 lots of blowouts on either side. I have been having a lot of lag in my games not sure if others have noticed any connections issues.

I find the maps pretty weak in this game so far. At least Nuketown is pretty fun, I also like subsonic, payback and hideout.

Agree as well that it’s not as good as MW3 as far as match balancing. I’m at Prestige 2 and I’m shelving the game until they do major work on this one. It needs a large amount of QOL changes already. Which, is a shame because the gunplay and graphics are really wonderful.

My top 5 issues with Blops 6

1: Spawns need massive tweaking
2: Team balancing overhaul
3: Maps need to be reworked
4: Netcode needs revamped
5: Fix the lag and rubber banding

I was really looking forward to this being my main FPS, but as it stands now, it’s not a better game than Cold War or MW3.

In fact, I’ve redownloaded Cold War to get my fix until they get to fixing Black Ops 6. And I’m a realist, we’re in the holiday season now and I don’t see those changes happening until the new year.

They'll be a classic map playlist before long. Or they'll add loads in seasonally. Treyarch's DLC maps so far have been a disaster.

Unlikely to see anything from BO2 though. That's coming next year and to be honest I'm slightly hyped for it. This gunplay on BO2 maps should actually be fun (with a VPN).

Fair enough - After they fix the cheater issues, make better maps, and tone down scorestreak hell.

Asking for a friend, when does the double xp even start today..?

I have Opal on everything. Now I can never play directed mode again

I have a 42 inch LG C2 as a monitor. Was a no brainer decision.

Heard double xp and Stakeout 24/7 are back this week? That smacks a little of desperation. I give it until Christmas before Stakeout 24/7 is permanent.

I now have Opal on everything, now I can actually play zombies normally again.
Tbh I really hope it is permanent. At this point I’d just be happy to play stakeout and pit. That’s it. I want shipment but treyarch never do it as it’s an IW creation and they seem to think nuketown is their thing. But there no comparison. There’s a reason stakeout is the most popular voted map in the game. We need a similar sized map that allows score streaks though.

Jesus, no double XP on the battlepass. They really are being tight with it, and want your money. This has to be MS influence.

Only providing 1100 CP for fully completing it (900 max providing you reach at least 70%).

No double XP battlepass tokens in the battlepass itself.

Very slow progression.

No double XP battlepass on the first double XP event.

*sigh*.

Almost sounds like every CoD release in these last 5 years

Can’t agree with the majority of this.

Games don’t come much more polished than COD in my opinion.

Most of what you have mentioned there are just side-effects of fast-paced MP games where you are at the mercy of the network. For example, I know not to play after 10pm in the UK or I’ll get a noticeably worse experience.

Not a fan of SBMM either, but I fear that’s here to stay.

Maps are very subjective. I think rewind is my least favourite (the visual clutter of the packed shops makes it tough to see enemies) but I don’t mind any of them in the right game mode.

I do agree that Cold War is better. But not MW3!

Prop Hunt gets old after about 30 seconds, give me CTF please.

Anyone have a guess what the unlockable Veteran perk will do? Kind of intrigued by it.

Edit: just entered prestige 5 🥳
