Black Ops 6 Launches to Mixed Reviews and High Player Engagement

Despite technical issues and an always-online requirement, Black Ops 6 sees record player numbers and praise for its Zombies mode.

Black Ops 6 has debuted with a 'Mixed' rating on Steam due to performance issues and complaints about the Call of Duty HQ launcher.
The game's always-online requirement, even for single-player mode, has frustrated players, potentially affecting sales.
Zombies mode is receiving acclaim for its return to classic round-based gameplay and new features like a pause option.
The multiplayer experience is praised for its innovative omnimovement system, though some players criticize map design and spawn points.
Despite technical challenges, the game achieved over 229,000 concurrent players on Steam, the highest for Call of Duty this year.
