Last week, I had the incredible opportunity to visit Treyarch Studios in Los Angeles, courtesy of Activision. During my visit, I got exclusive insights into Black Ops 6 and played several multiplayer games. While I’m under strict orders not to share my personal impressions, I can reveal some juicy confirmed details about Black Ops 6. This article will focus on the multiplayer, campaign, and zombie modes since intel on Warzone will come later this year.

Classic Prestige is Back
First, let’s talk about a feature many Call of Duty veterans will be thrilled to hear about – the return of Classic Prestige. Yes, you heard that right. The beloved Prestige system is making a comeback in Black Ops 6. For those who might not be familiar with Classic Prestige, players can reset their rank after hitting the maximum level, earning unique rewards and badges of honor along the way. This system adds a layer of replayability and brings a sense of nostalgia for long-time series fans.
- 10 prestige levels with exclusive rewards.
- Followed by Prestige Master and up to 1,000 levels.
- No Seasonal Level Caps.
New Omnimovement Mechanic
Black Ops 6 is set to improve movement mechanics in the FPS genre by introducing Omnimovement. This new feature allows players to sprint and dive in any direction, making the gameplay more fluid and dynamic. Imagine being able to dodge enemy fire by diving sideways or sprinting backward to escape a sticky situation. Omnimovement should introduce new outplay possibilities and elevate the skill ceiling.
Zombies: Round-Based Mode Returns
Zombies enthusiasts have something special to look forward to in Black Ops 6. Round-based Zombies mode returns triumphantly, bringing back the intense, wave-based combat fans adore. Two new maps have been confirmed: Liberty Falls and Terminus.
Liberty Falls transports players to a classic American town in the 1980s, with a diner, bowling alley, and other nostalgic locales. Meanwhile, Terminus is set on a Pacific island jail, offering a darker, more eerie environment. Both maps promise to deliver the thrilling, cooperative zombie-slaying action that the mode is known for, with fresh settings and new challenges to overcome.
Multiplayer: 16 Brand New Maps
The multiplayer experience in Black Ops 6 is getting significantly upgraded with the introduction of 16 brand-new maps. These maps are exclusively designed for this installment, ensuring a fresh and unique gameplay experience.
- Twelve 6v6 maps
- Four Striker maps
New Weapons
While details about the upcoming weapons remain under wraps, we can confirm that Black Ops 6 will feature 12 brand-new weapons that have never been seen in any Call of Duty game before. Of course, you’ll be able to find the best loadouts and builds for all Black Ops 6 weapons directly in our dedicated CODMunity app on IOS and Android!
Enhanced Gunsmith System
The Gunsmith system in Black Ops 6 is getting a boost with more customization options. Players can equip up to 5 attachments on their primary weapons. However, you can increase this number to 8 attachments with a specific wildcard. It’s yet to be confirmed if this feature will extend to Warzone, but we could imagine this will make its way to Warzone one way or another.
Improved UX/UI Experience
Treyarch has put considerable effort into enhancing the user experience and interface in Black Ops 6. The menus have been streamlined to be more intuitive and user-friendly, allowing players to jump into games faster. This design overhaul is aimed at reducing downtime and making navigation more straightforward, ensuring that you spend more time playing and less time navigating menus.
Customizable HUD
For the first time in a desktop Call of Duty game, Black Ops 6 will allow players to customize the location of their HUD widgets. Want the mini-map to be larger and positioned at the bottom of the screen? No problem! This level of customization empowers players to tailor their interface to their preferences, improving their overall gaming experience and situational awareness during matches.
Conclusion
Black Ops 6 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting entries in the Call of Duty franchise, with new features and returning favorites that promise to enhance the gameplay experience. From the return of Classic Prestige and round-based Zombies to the introduction of the Omnimovement mechanic and customizable HUD, there’s much to look forward to. Stay tuned for more updates, especially concerning Warzone, which will be revealed later this year.
