One of the most famous CoD players thinks the series is in the worst state now

by Evelyn Jan 19,2025

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is facing a significant downturn, according to prominent YouTubers and competitive players. The game's declining player base has led some content creators to abandon the title, with several high-profile figures expressing their disappointment.

OpTic Scump, a Call of Duty legend, claims the franchise is in its worst state ever, primarily blaming the premature launch of ranked mode. The ineffective anti-cheat system has resulted in rampant cheating, severely impacting gameplay.

This sentiment is echoed by FaZe Swagg, who dramatically switched to Marvel Rivals during a live stream after encountering numerous connectivity issues and hackers. He even incorporated a live counter showcasing the frequency of cheaters encountered.

Compounding these problems is the significant nerfing of the zombies mode, hindering the acquisition of desirable cosmetic items. The game's abundance of cosmetic purchases contrasts sharply with a perceived lack of substantial gameplay improvements, leading to criticism about prioritizing monetization over meaningful updates. Considering the franchise's substantial past budgets, the current situation is both unsurprising and alarming. With player patience wearing thin, the game appears to be teetering on the brink of a major crisis.
