Booted up bo6 first thing this morning
Woke up kinda excited cause I saw Twitter buzz about this bo6 update. Grabbed my coffee, fired up the console. Game takes forever to load as usual. While waiting, scrolled through patch notes on my phone – walls of text talking about “balance adjustments” and “quality of life improvements”. Yeah right. Seen that before.
Patch download was a pain
Tried downloading the update around 9AM. My internet ain’t great. Progress bar crawled like a snail. Left it running while doing laundry. Came back two hours later – still at 75%. Damn thing froze completely at 92%. Had to restart console three times. Thought the whole system bricked for a minute there.
Jumped straight into multiplayer
Finally got in around noon. First thing I noticed:
- New guns showing up in create-a-class
- Some funky new symbols next to player names
- Weird red warning marker kept flashing near the radar
Tried the new SMG thing – kicked like a donkey. Sprayed a whole clip at a wall to test recoil pattern. Dude ran past and knifed me. Classic bo6.
Then discovered attachments changed
Went to modify my trusty rifle loadout. Half my attachments were missing or rearranged. Scoped optics I used got nerfed hard – crosshair now wobbles like jelly. Thought my controller drifted at first. Nope. Just “balance”.
New camo challenges popped up too. Requires kills while sliding backwards? Seriously? Tried it for two matches – slid off the map twice. Gave up.
Okay the good stuff
New “map vote” system actually works for once. Played the new factory map. Layout’s confusing but cool vertical stuff. Found a secret vent behind some pipes.
- Killstreak animations smoother
- Footsteps sound clearer
- Friend invites less buggy
Party system still messed up though. Couldn’t join Jim’s lobby for 20 minutes. Had to reboot twice.
Overall? Just okay
Got annoyed at a sniper hiding in new spawn points. Reported him – doubt anything happens. Update doesn’t feel revolutionary. Just shuffled stuff around. Still crashes sometimes. Feels like same game with different paint. Maybe better in a week?
Time to go grind camos I guess. Still won’t use those damn slide-backwards challenges.
