Grinding Is Making You Worse At Black Ops 6

[@Mattchoo70-fk1jf]

Amen brother. I've been playing COD for less than 3 years and it took me a long time to realize that not everybody was trying to win the match. It finally dawned on me in a game of HP when I called out my team for not helping me get on the point and one player responded "Dude, no one is getting on the point. We're just trying to level up our guns." I responded with "you can do both at the same time." And I got back "I know. We just don't want to." I literally could not believe my ears. Who in the world can engage in a contest where there is a winner and a loser and not have a preference to be on the winning side? You can be in a hotly contested match coming right down to the wire and yet it would appear that there is nothing that will trigger some people's competitive spirit to help complete the objective to help the team win. I think that people's obsession with K/D ratio is another barrier to the enjoyment of this game. People get bored because they play every game the same way...maximize kills...optimize K/D. Doesn't matter what game mode they're playing every match the same way. And then they blame the lack of variety in games on SBMM. The sooner we forget about K/D, focus on W/L and let the camo challenges happen naturally instead of making it a race to mastery the more fun we're gonna have. In BO6 my K/D sucks, my W/L is 1.6, I know that the headshots will come naturally and I am enjoying the hell outta the game. Play the objective folks; SBMM will cease to be an issue for you and you'll have more fun.

Yeah the KD campers can be annoying. Can’t lie sometimes I can start worrying about KD but after being 3 prestige I am tired of playing this way, it’s boring and makes my games WAY sweatier which leads to KD staying pretty constant at 1.3KD. Idk why I even cared this long about KD but I’m over it for sure. The camo grind also started getting me burnt out and frustrated.

[@SwagEmusEvilIncoporated]

I've been grinding Zombies for the camo and I can careless for doing well in Multiplayer. TMAL is a great example of doing well but, not caring for a loss. Just having fun is my goal. Testing new guns and not staggering on the same three guns is what I have fun with.

[@bruceblack9975]

Same I lost that fire for multiplayer along time ago I focus on zombies now when it comes to cod

[@WTFisTingispingis]

TMAL is the kinda player I hope to be.

[@SwagEmusEvilIncoporated]

@@WTFisTingispingis I aspire to be him.

[@talzO9]

This is one of the reasons why i love SnD. it’s one of the very few game modes in the history of CoD that requires some strategy and teamwork. camo challenges are very slow to progress on SnD so you know everyone playing that game mode is in it for the win.

[@Grief_Jerky]

I'm half way through the Diamond to Darkspine grind and I can't do it anymore lol the 100 head shot in hardcore grind is just pure brain rot, loving BO6 when i'm in core and acutely playing the obj.

[@austinhawkins3307]

I played a match where a guy had a gold XM4 on the opposite team. The first day of release. But then, my team beat him, with him scoring middle of the team, and trash talking our guy who got the play of the game. It honestly made me laugh at him so hard

[@ghostlandered]

You do know it is not hard to get a gun gold?

[@austinhawkins3307]

@ghostlandered absolutely I know that. That's why I was laughing, he was talking about how the guy who got play of the game didn't even have any camos on his gun.

[@dillonc7955]

I felt this entirely after reaching prestige 3, which is indisputably the best-looking rank emblem for this game. Watching creators get both Multiplayer, Zombies, and still have any energy to tackle the Warzone camo grind is insanity to me. I hit my mental limit whilst trying to get a bounce kill with a smoke grenade during peak hours in hardcore. I'm taking challenges in this game as bite-sized pieces from here on out for my mental health's sake.

[@apollodivine]

Personally I think Prestige 8 and Mastery looks coolest, but I agree with what you’re saying. I got snipers diamond in a day (I mainly quickscope) and then I went to SMGs and those headshots took days for me. To the point that now doing any other weapon feels so tedious and annoying

[@dillonc7955]

​@apollodivine To be fair, headshots in BO6 Multiplayer are the hardest in the series yet as the multipliers are garbage for most automatics even with the CHF barrel. Not to mention omni movement making targets even harder to track. I don't blame anyone for struggling or giving up on the camo grind this year. I'm only doing zombies along with just marksman rifles and pistols in Multiplayer.

[@sportybaby797]

Play the game,don’t let the game play you!

[@boxybrown3000]

I mean, this game sort of attracts sweaty, competitive young adults who think winning is the only thing that matters. I don't think there is going to be much thinking outside of that. This game doesn't necessarily cause someone to ponder and be thoughtful through gameplay.

[@YourGuySmallFry]

It's important to remember to enjoy each match and not so just see it as progress towards challenges.

[@zolod.uchiha5102]

Personally why I low key refuse to Prestige once I got all my equipment and perks I want.

[@dillonc7955]

​@zolod.uchiha5102 I recommend trying prestige at least once as the legacy rewards are pretty cool, however don't burn yourself out on it. Not having access to essential perks in MP like tac mask or ghost can affect your enjoyment of the game for sure.

[@tannercox1579]

I think your like the spiderman of cod KZbinrs bro, super down to earth dude that grinds and plays like the rest of us while having a part time job, but your alot more insightful and experienced than the algorithm lets on. Great takes that u genuinely don't see on other channels and I'm just glad to see it while there is 30 in the live chat instead of a 1000 which I am confident will be in your near future. Please keep uploading u got a strong loyal subcriber base here🙌

[@DustyDigits]

My favourite online shooter experience is still UT2004. All weapons available to everybody, no unlocks, just playing for fun, and to win the round. I don't mind unlocks and things to progress toward, but that shouldn't be the whole purpose of playing.

[@DavidGonzalez-ml4nv]

Getting kills with headshots was the most satisfying and seamless way to get camos. I’d go a bit over that just to get gold camo, just like I did on CoD 4. The way the camo grind has evolved really got out of hand though, prestige is creepingly getting close and I hope it doesn’t get worse.

[@rabbyd542]

I learned my lesson. I never play CoD for more than three or four months per game. I grind one AR, one Snipe and one SMG and never go prestige. Not wasting my time on something I'm gonna drop.

[@ghostlandered]

Why do people need to say stuff like this for every cod video? Like cool you're not gonna play, but these videos are clearly for people who do. Like what you want a cookie, do you feel like you're a better perosn because you don't grind? I legit don't go the point of these comments.

[@rabbyd542]

@ghostlandered I commented my opinion on grinding on a video about grinding, live with it. Knock your socks off getting galaxy camo brother, no one is stopping you. I like CoD but I don't play it year round (never have).

[@mowgli5679]

@@ghostlanderedlol nobody is playing more than a year cus then the same regurgitated garbage will b out in the next cod and the next and the next. Pointless

[@RedtheRazor]

@@ghostlanderedthat’s cos you are a bit dumb ha ha

[@apollodivine]

I do the same thing, but how I work is that I’ll play from release to around January - February. I’ll get the mastery camos and then never play the game again for the rest of the year. Then I go and play games like CK3, Elden Ring, and other single player games, ect

[@ndoman]

i like a lot of the points you’ve made about the actual fun of the game being the sport of it, and i will get into ranked play when it comes out in a few days, but for now i’m still gonna do the zombies camos, afterlife is nostalgic to me from my school days playing BO2 and i want it so much.

[@jbivvy420]

I totally agree. Camos mean nothing to me since they just show that you play a lot. I play for fun and enjoy the match

[@davidrodgers599]

I got dark matter and I’ve been playing cod since I was 11. Never achieve the max mastery camos besides diamond in BO2 if you wanna count that. I love this game! It’s a mind set thing.

[@sportybaby797]

Do not play for camis.Its just dumb and never ever play just to play. Make sure you’re energized and can rip the lobby up on your terms. Play the game,don’t let the game play you.

[@ghostlandered]

Or play how you want...

[@BlitZnGodzilla117]

I agree with the sentiment. I took a 2 week break from playing and played other games in library. On coming back, i feel like I'm doing better than i did toward the end of my grinding stint. C9 actually felt good, and not like a peashooter, etc etc

[@0h_hey944]

Great video, certainly an amazing take!

[@Oceanviewcoffeeshop]

I just play the game I dont even grind for camps since MW2019

[@goodhoonter9882]

Most of the gring in bo6 is headshots,multi kills,sprint to fire kills,and killing multiple zombies in a few seconds,so the grind is pretty much just playing the game normally and its not really much of a big deal. Only thing that bothers me that there not enough people in my matches going for objectives as much as i do.

[@Deadlycalling]

I think accepting your not the player you were or are is the hardest mountain to climb,in black ops 1 i had a 1-65 kd and up till ghosts it was 1-88 or there abouts ive never been the best or the worst but heres the kicker,my friend put it best he said," You used to be good and now ,...your not "...by the way im 54 years old now and a grandad to boot,my kd is 1-18,and yes gain your exactly right about the grind blinding you ,i subbed to you after your vid on red card using the tac insert and blue perks,whilst i dont use the blue because i think some of them are just unfair at the mo ,im ok with red and green and i will use ninja though,anyway your videos are legitimately the most brutally honest take on cod ive watched i love that,keep it up

[@schemes4563]

Great Video.... Praying you feel my Brother!

[@codishotwell150]

Carmo grinding should be about kills scores & winning only. I gets so many kills killing camro grinders. This have became a big problem. Because as soon as someone spam streak on them this is why. Not playing the main game. Then they wants to spam report saying they cheating. And nobody give a F about their glowing guns they trying to kill you. This is why SBMM needs to go. Who wants to be on a team of carmo grinding people's only to lose everytime a get spam streaks on & nuked on. When you trying to win the game.

[@the_solo_ghost_]

Everything talked about in this video can be fixed if SBMM was removed or made like it was in earlier CODS. Everyone loved them then. These new CODS theres on need to improve.

[@TheMegalodonGaming]

I can drop 60 and get very little camo progression kills any game of nuketown i want its meaningless or i can go for challenges and get 40 kills but make progress in something. Yes i play worse when grinding but high kill games where i win more often than i lose doesnt make me feel anything.

[@WTFisupDennys]

I feel this lol

[@WTFisupDennys]

Only a minute in 🤣

[@Kevin89866]

Coming from BFV with 5k hours there CoD definitely doesn't have the replayability. There is a reason they have a new game every year. This is the first CoD I have kinda fully commited to the skin grind and yeah most of what you have said makes sense. Not to mention how predictable the game is getting... like in battlefield I didn't bother remembering the spawns and there were so many lanes to take to an objective you never had an I am just going to throw an grenade down this lane and try to get lucky within 2 seconds of the match starting you needed a bomber plaen to do that 💩 and you could defend against it. On this game not so much, the grenade spam due to blast damage and range is ridiculous. Not to mention the netcode difference of the mover shooter given priority combine that with thrle desync and movement , hipfire and ads buffs. Sometimes you can't even shoot back preaimed ads, you see 1 bullet and they weren't even on your screen long enough to aim at them and pull the trigger... (my network is wired fiber, A+ bufferbloat, on a 1ms g70b monitor, 25ms latancy) so yeah the grind 100% makes your worse not playing the meta or having played so much in the first 2 weeks of the game you haven't completed the grind they have and you are screwed playing against meta bs whilst grinding. Not to mention the SBMM stay away from leveling the good guns you go from your lower skill lobby's from grinding to your ultra sweats real fast if you show even an slither of your skill with a good gun. Then it won't drop you back down skill levels for 6-10 games after that... crap guns first and stay on them till you only have the good guns left.

[@bastien7985]

Quality content thx 🙏

[@Jack72607]

Camo grinding should only depend on score, kills and winning matches. Progression should be tied to performance in game instead of distractions. It’s made this way to nerf dedicated players going for Dark aMatter and enhance SBMM.

[@Thierry-ck3fp]

I did finish Prestige 1 Im on Prestige 2 level 30 completed I never selected anything on prestige one 😢 was not clear for me what to do, did I miss something or can I go back to it?

Don't play ranked if you're not all that great at the game, riddled with hackers too which makes it even harder for someone who's never played ranked matches it will leave you scratching you're head or putting your fist through the monitor, terrible graphics 💩audio and basically unplayable save your sanity 1v1 your friends or something first like this guy said, ranked was even worse than multiplayer especially the audio.

[@LocaliLLocano]

I totally agree. As someone who shoots at a range 4 times a week I take the competitive call of duty spirit with me. I can already tell when I blow my 100 or 50 yard rifle shots just by how I pulled the trigger. It gives you personal accountability. I even carry this mentality when trading stock options. If it’s too late to pounce on a move I don’t pull the trigger. Call of duty is more than a game for me it’s how I view things in my world too.
