The MOST HONEST Review of Black Ops 6 MULTIPLAYER (After 2 Months)

[@CynicMichael]

My next video and prob last video in the big 2024 will be a review video on Citadelle Des Morts. I want to be more engaging to those that regularly watch my videos. What do you think about it? Do you like it, dislike it? Where did you rank it? Let me know in the comments below and any responses I get I’ll include in the video.

[@darealsaneasylum]

Was that chris jericho?.... He's on the list!

[@CynicMichael]

YOU JUST MADE THE LIST!

This is the first year that quitting has affected my enjoyment of the game. Most of my losses aren't actually from being outskilled by the enemy team but more so because people will quit 3 minutes in and the game won't replace them for the entirety of the match so we'll lose by over 100 points in a 3v6. On the other hand, you're missing out with the campaign. It's actually different this year. Has a confusing plot somewhat but pales in comparison to Black Ops 3's mindf*** of a plot.

[@CynicMichael]

Actually started playing the campaign after I uploaded this video, I just wanted to get through the prestige grind before I hopped on the campaign. I really think they missed the boat on not doing early access this year

[@cjw4381]

Just subscribed! Keep it up you got what youtube needs for creators! I just discovered you and I really liked it. Keep doin you because its awesome!

[@CynicMichael]

Hey man I appreciate those kind words, definitely the best comment here and means a lot to me, I’m glad you like what I make, def got more coming and I hope to see ya more!

[@420davinci]

Why does this man sound like mortikai so much from regular show

[@CynicMichael]

Idk but that sounds pretty based

[@ulyssesnone4601]

I want martyrdom , stopping power, juggernaut, all of the og perks back. I think keep omni movement, it's better, get rid of tac sprint for good. Keep mantle ability Then make maps bigger and have genuine cut off points. Not every spot needs fake e lane design. Face off sucks. M16 should be standard , and the lack of revolvers, double barrel shotguns, in favor of very obscure annoying weapons like the goblin or tsarkov is a choice. Aek not automatic. Hmm. An94 would be great. But I feel like, there is just too much in multiplayer. Too many options to the point that it just becomes min max watch the Meta.

[@CynicMichael]

You brought up a good point with no revolvers and double barrel shot guns. I didn’t realize that none of that was in the game until you just pointed it out

[@ulyssesnone4601]

@CynicMichael they exist in character models and even in the maps as decoration. I have no idea why the olympia, m1911 and m16a1 aren't in. And the ak74 instead of 47 is just like huh?

[@thesavagegummybear7341]

@@ulyssesnone4601I guess the gs45 replaced the 1911 cause it’s 45 but I fucking love the 1911 so I’m pretty bummed, I don’t doubt the python will come in a future season but the Olympia? After years of dealing with the 725 I’m not sure it’s gonna come back

[@ulyssesnone4601]

@thesavagegummybear7341 i miss a lot of those classic guns , but i hear your doubts because of how busted they balance them for multiplayer. I mean, I don't really get why they didn't bring back the STG 44 because we just got it in mwiii. But , idk. I feel like the weapons and surprises for zombies include weapons we likely both will very much be happy with. I just wish out gun classes weren't so limited. I can't even have custom classes unless I delete other. It's so weird. The default always comes zero attachments and then won't make a new blueprint. Lol

[@CynicMichael]

@@ulyssesnone4601we do have the blue print of the STG44 so there is that 🙏

[@cawdpoints]

Sbmm is cancer in FPS pubs

[@bekfistwolf8248]

It's fundamentally better but overall worse. Bad maps, bad spawns, poorly balanced snipers and shotguns, but worst of all, a community that sees better movement and decides to camp

[@CynicMichael]

Seeing people still camp on maps like Stakeout, which is the size of a shoebox, has no killstreaks enabled and a movement system that’s fluid proves to me that no matter what they do, people will choose to camp no matter what

[@wilsonlee8053]

I remember when I first play the 2019 Modern warfare. The multiplayer was fun with the gunsmith and maps. Keep me from playing for a year to two. But this BO6 MP just feels not so much interesting for some reason. The infected mode could actually be more playable if they can make it something like the counter strike zombies which can creates better gameplay in this BO6 since what they already offer like u can play as mangler.

[@CynicMichael]

@@wilsonlee8053 the MW19 gunsmith is the best version ever. That gunsmith had so many cool hidden weapons you could create. I loved how deep it was. No game since, not even MWII could match the magic MW19 had with the gunsmith And yeah I find BO6 to be so standardish. Like outside of the movement, prestige and takedowns, I don’t think I’ll remember this games MP a few years down the line

[@DialogicDimensions]

@@CynicMichael I remember back in MW19 making the slowest gun ever, putting sniper scopes on fuckin shotguns but these days I can't be crazy with my guns :(

[@CynicMichael]

@@DialogicDimensionsI really loved how crazy we could get with the weapon customization in MW19. First game to have gunsmith and it’s still the best one to have it

[@DialogicDimensions]

@@CynicMichael If they kept the MW2019 gunsmith, that would be AMAZING.

[@lexpresley7094]

movement in this game would really benefit in MWIII.. Ghosts' maps actually would benefit from the Black Ops 6 movement... Get rid of SBMM and bring back Death Streaks! .. also, cod needs to use the real names for their guns and kill Streaks again. But all in all, Black Ops 6 MP is trash. Also, I hope they go back to seasonal prestige, but with all of these rewards. Zombies is the only thing that is good, but cold war zombies is better... actually WAW and Black Ops 1 Zombies are the best!

[@CynicMichael]

Fully agree with everything you said except seasonal prestiges lol

[@norespawnjustgrowth]

TLDR: It's Alright

[@CynicMichael]

[@UserTheGoat_]

This game is garb haven't played cod since learning of EOMM(an activision patent not directly quoted in being implemented but heavily implied by the community as activision has chosen not to speak on it) on top of SBMM, lack of passion, and AI being used throughout the map and spawn creation and possibly other aspects of the game Played on the free weekend and its a 0/10 not because gameplay directly but because of the casino tactics to manipulate players

[@CynicMichael]

SBMM is another point I completely failed to bring up in my video and that’s really one of the biggest issues of the series. The whole usage of AI really has me concern for the future of this series as well

[@UserTheGoat_]

@@CynicMichael yea and bro if youre interestedd i could send u some vids n info regarding EOMM (engagement optimized match making) but in short it tries to optimize the time a player stays on the game essentially like a casino and it will reward certain actions like purchasing blueprints and other ingame items. Its a crazy thing and after I learned about it I cut off playing cod and am waiting to see if x defiant goes public again

[@CynicMichael]

@@UserTheGoat_I’m interested for sure, send me some videos my way, I’ll check em out And I’m really bummed about the news about XDefiant. Really love that game and I been playing it a lot more recently especially with the recent update. It’s so good, Ubisoft def dropped the ball

[@JohnWick-pr3rc]

Worst cod in history

[@peetiphat605]

That title belongs to MW2022, Vanguard. lol

[@coluiche8182]

Btw bro ur speaking straight facts, why don't u have more subs?

[@CynicMichael]

Haha I appreciate it. And I’m not sure, I guess I just don’t hit the algorithm enough and I just don’t have that kind of reach

[@coluiche8182]

I like the game, honestly the only problem i have is sbmm, i can stand the bad maps and the usage of ai cuz the gameplay is hella fun but sbmm is limiting the experience, without it the game would be one of the best and most enjoyable cod ever

[@CynicMichael]

The AI point is such a good point you brought up and something I originally wanted to include in the video and for some reason I forgot to talk about it AI coming into CoD is so concerning, especially with the recent news on how they are treating the voice actors This really makes enjoying BO6 much more difficult to me

[@coluiche8182]

​​@@CynicMichael it is concerning when it comes to voice acting but if they use it just for in game art i don't really care, another problem is the community, new players only want shipment sized maps, i like them but i don't wonna play them 24/7, if u noticed they don't make big maps anymore, i never thought that i would say that but i miss wasteland, overgrown, array and groud war

[@CynicMichael]

I think it’s an issue for in game art, cause while they may use it for little stuff like calling cards, if we ignore that now, it will eventually bleed into a bigger issue like maps for example. And yeah I don’t think the maps are bad but it’s definitely the design philosophy that they want Nuketown and shipment clones. It’s why I enjoy maps like VORKUTA and red card for example cause they are the most normal sized maps in the game. I really miss maps like overgrown, crash, array, cracked, jungle, all great larger maps

[@coluiche8182]

​@@CynicMichael its nice to have a conversation with someone that is not a crybaby about cod, nowadays the community is split between tiktok kids payed by activision and ragebaters that say that the game is 100%trash and has no positives

[@CynicMichael]

I agree and I appreciate that, I really try to my best to point all the positives and negatives that any game has, especially CoD where most folks are just dramatic about it
