Call of Duty, a blockbuster movie every year, wants you to think it's the Die Hard video games, with great expense and effort. Or the Saving Private Ryan of video games, depending on the setting. But Black Hawk Down is very little. This latest campaign in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 reminds me more of those forgettable Netflix shooting fests that spread across your TV screen in thumbnails as you try to find some brave nothing to help you escape from life. Still, there is an anecdotal group of casual armchairs who have embraced Call Of Duty. the game. It's a hit-the-wall shooter that you can return to and replay on weekends every winter. Already pointing to the multiplayer mode, Ed announces: “yes, it's COD”, like an extremely tired Captain Birdseye examining the day's catch and wondering when his life will change. But never mind that. How does the single-player story mode hold up? Some call it the best campaign in years. And I guess that's true in the sense that it's the least bad.

Black Ops 6 developers still fixing unfair spawns
Initial reactions to Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 multiplayer range from seething discontent to ubiquitous movement hype to our own Ed Thorn's hard-eyed assessment that it's “a good thing, I guess. Not a bad thing.” You will love this. If you didn't like Call Of Duty, you won't like this.” I feel like we urgently need to deploy a supply crate full of smelling salts, because the complete goodness of Black Ops 6 seems to have stunned Ed.
Perhaps it would be a different story if it encountered some of the spawn issues and glitches people are talking about, like players joining games and turning into a barrage of fire. The players in question include Black Ops 6's developers, who hilariously note in the latest Black Ops 6 patch notes, “Yes, we saw ourselves in a Killcam before choosing a Loadout.” The latest patch naturally tries to solve this problem. As for the campaign side of things, if your single-player currency is stolen (or duplicated) by technical gremlins, your safehouse currency is also reset to 5000.
Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 multiplayer review: It's like Call of Duty
People ask me, as someone who loves Call Of Duty, “How's the new COD?” they asked. – Call Of Duty's mass appeal is such that even many of my non-industry friends are invested in whether Black Ops 6's gunfights actually succeed. And every time my brain kicks into gear and I turn inward, struggling to find anything meaningful to say there. So much so that a fog forms and a figure emerges from the fog; It's me. I hold an M4A1 with an extended barrel and vertical foregrip. My brain and body physically react by making a pincer movement: 1) I shrug my shoulders 2) I say, “Like Call Of Duty.”
