Summary
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6players have discovered a huge issue with the game’s emotes feature, which allows users to briefly go into third-person and see enemies that would not be visible while in first-person.Call of Dutyfans were given the opportunity to go hands-on withBlack Ops 6as part of the game’s open beta weekends during August and September, and it looks like they’ve already discovered some game-breaking features that were overlooked by developer Treyarch Studios.
In preparation for launch, Treyarch Studios recently confirmed the full list ofchanges being made toBlack Ops 6from its recent beta weekends. The blog post lists plenty of adjustments, from movement tweaks to weapon balancing, fan feedback from both beta weekends has been heard loud and clear by the studio, which means the upcoming shooter will feature a plethora of changes come October 25 whenBlack Ops 6releases for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
While Treyarch has already confirmed it will be makingchanges toBlack Ops 6’s winner’s circle, fans are now urging the studio to make a massively important change to the in-game emotes. Over on Reddit, a user posted a short clip from YouTuber ImMarksman, who was playing theBlack Ops 6beta and managed to kill two opponents after revealing their locations by using an emote that changed his perspective from first to third-person. The Redditor noted how this feature will be a “huge issue” and that all emotes should be in first-person to prevent any unfair advantages.
Black Ops 6 Players Find Huge Issue With Emotes
Many users pointed out that this feels like an unfortunatethrowback to the days ofCall of Duty: Black Ops 4, as the same mistake was made by Treyarch in the 2018 shooter, with one user saying they “don’t know what [Treyarch] was thinking making [emotes] third person.” Another Reddit user said that the studio should take a leaf out ofApex Legends' book and avoid rendering all other players during the emote unless they were already visible to the player beforehand. Others said that emotes should be completely disabled outside of the winner’s circle.
WithBlack Ops 6right around the corner,Warzoneis set to undergo some massive updates. Alongside the introduction of omnidirectional movement, fans can also expect to see the return of emotes and sprays to the free-to-play Battle Royale. But with fans already campaigning to have the former removed from multiplayer, more controversy could be on the way if the feature isn’t fixed by the timeBlack Ops 6is integrated withWarzonelater this year.
