This is because the game will return to having more historical weapons, leaving aside the modern arsenal. The development team acknowledges the risk of disappointing players who prefer contemporary weaponry, but they also see an opportunity to surprise fans with new possibilities.

The change in the arsenal has sparked discussions, especially about the risk of returning to a historical period with less modern weapons. Matt Scronce, associate design director, acknowledged this concern but highlighted the opportunity to introduce innovative prototypes. “We’re at 12 weapons that have never been seen in the franchise. Which is a lot,” stated Scronce.

Besides the new weapons, the game will bring back classic elements loved by fans, such as traditional zombies and the Prestige system, as well as some of the classic maps. However, the true innovation lies in the implementation of these new prototype weapons, known only to a few. Scronce emphasized that this approach will allow for a unique and differentiated experience within the Black Ops universe.

The developers are confident that this blend of tradition and innovation will attract a wide range of players. The expectation is that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will not only retain its loyal fan base but also attract new followers with its bold additions and revitalized gameplay.
