Long gone are the days when Call of Duty games were confined to their military universe. With the advent of games such as Fortnite, which offer a multitude of different skins to keep players engaged, competitive online games have for years offered sometimes very strange cosmetics. And the latest Black Ops 6 skin is causing debate within the community.
Black Ops 6: Activision gets slammed over the game's latest very strange shark skin
Activision recently revealed the arrival of a new, unusual skin to say the least for Black Ops 6, where players take the form of a shark in a costume. And the least we can say is that part of the community does not seem at all satisfied to see this kind of appearance coming, which is totally out of step with a military game such as Call of Duty.
Several players responded to the post by asking the Activision teams to correct the game's problems rather than releasing this type of skin. Another responded that “fortnitification is upon us” and another that “Call Of Fortnite” had arrived.
Another player criticizes the developers' communication: “The fact that you are marketing anything related to the game in the state it is in is insane. » He is certainly referring here to the numerous PC cheats which haunt the games of Black Ops 6. One of the most viewed and appreciated responses from players under the post is the one which says “Can we also get the Ricochet set in the store? »referring to Activision's anti-cheat tool which should normally prevent or strongly limit cheating in the game.
Recently, Activision announced that it has banned 19,000 cheaters from the game since the ranked game's launch via its RICOCHET anti-cheat teams. Social networks today still remain populated with videos of cheaters, but developers ensure that AI systems continue to gain power with code optimizations to accelerate the implementation of anti-cheating measures, and that “ sweeps” aimed at excluding cheaters from ranked modes and rankings are carried out every hour.
As a reminder, Black Ops 6 integrated Xbox Game Pass Ultimate from its launch, as well as PC Game Pass and Xbox Cloud Gaming.
