Is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6′s Campaign Worth It? Here’s Everything You Need to Know
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 continues its long-running, mind-bending story, bringing the saga’s main characters into the early 90s. So is it worth playing ?
For Call of Duty fans wondering if the single-player campaign in Black Ops 6 is worth their time, the short answer is a resounding yes. The reason why is simple: the Black Ops franchise has always prided itself in its story, even if it faltered with the 4th game. But Cold War showed us that Treyarch has some great storytelling ideas they still have to explore. Black Ops 6 combines complex mission structures with strong character dynamics, giving players plenty to dive into solo. While we always take Call of Duty’s campaign mode with cautious optimism, early reviews hint that this might be one of Treyarch’s most ambitious campaigns yet,with some specially over-the-top setpieces that at the very least are bound to give you some action-movie-style entertainment for a couple of hours. Here’s a rundown of everything you need to know.
What is the Plot of Black Ops 6?
Black Ops 6 brings us into the politically charged early 1990s, following the fall of the Berlin Wall. It’s a tense time, full of intrigue and espionage, where players will step into the boots of CIA operatives who navigate both high-stakes spy missions and all-out warfare. Familiar characters like Frank Woods make a return, adjusting to shifting global dynamics and new CIA roles. The campaign promises intricate plot twists, spy gadgets, and signature Call of Duty bombastic sequences to keep players engaged throughout.
Can I Play Black Ops 6 Now?
Yes! Black Ops 6 launches today, October 25, 2024, and it’s available on a range of platforms, including Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC (via Battle.net and Steam).
Xbox Game Pass subscribers also have access, though options may vary based on subscription tiers. Alongside the campaign, the popular Zombies Mode makes a return, with new Easter eggs ready to be uncovered by players eager to dig into the undead hordes in the wildest side of the Call of Duty franchise.
How Long is the Campaign?
This time around, Treyarch has taken steps to ensure players won’t be disappointed by a short-lived story. Following critiques of Modern Warfare III’s campaign, which many felt was too brief, Black Ops 6 offers an estimated eight-hour experience that balances cinematic gameplay with engaging mission variety. While hardcore players might finish sooner, those who explore the full experience will likely savor every moment, adding to the game’s replayability.
