TheCall of Dutyfranchise has been slowly bleeding out for some time, and their upcomingBlack Ops 6release remains the last hope. The video game series over the years have had different features and mechanics, but players have witnessed nothing spectacularly new for nearly half a decade now.Furthermore, according to allegations made by a renowned leaker on social media, what makes it worse is how decision-makers have been holding back certain features just to be used as a selling point in future games.
Prestige in Black Ops 6 – What Did Call of Duty Fans Give Up to Get Here
Witnessed for the first time inModern Warfare, launched back in 2007, the Prestige System was a unique mechanic that allowed players to reset all of their progress several times, gaining a badge by their name that showcased the level of prestige they were on.

And while this system has been passed down throughCall of Dutygames, it never captured the essence of what it was like initially at the beginning, until now, as with the upcoming release ofBlack Ops 6, the game will be taking after the mechanic last used inBlack Ops 4.However, what is truly upsetting is how fans could have gotten to see this feature make its inevitable return a year earlier inModern Warfare 3, something which did not take place just to reserve a selling point for the franchise’s 2024 release.
For example SHG wanted to do a classic prestige system for MWIII but got told no and then it comes out BO6 is doing that system just a year later for their game. If SHG did it for MWIII then there’s nothing to market about prestige for BO6. They purposefully delay features.https://t.co/DoY3Pn3bfd
It only remains fair forActivisionto decide what happens within the franchise as its owner, but fans have finally begun to call out how it remains unfair to hold back certain features and mechanics only to be used as an advertising scapegoat in the future.
Why Black Ops 6 Is a High Stakes Release for the Whole Call of Duty Franchise
As stated earlier, there remains no doubt that the action-shooter series that once held dominance in the industry has been slowly losing its grip over the player base for the past few years.

To ensureCall of Dutydoes not bleed out entirely, the upcoming release seems to be a last-ditch effort to give fans all they have been asking for, bringing back many loved mechanics and game modes,including round-based zombies mode.The title is slated to launch on October 25th, and will ultimately determine the future of the entire franchise moving forward once it is finally released and in the hands of the player.Are you excited for the upcoming release ofBlack Ops 6?
