Call of Duty: Black Ops 6came in October 2024, and since then the game has had a strange ride. Sometimes, people become hugely fond of this title, sometimes the same people are bashing this game. Initially, the game was thrashed for its new movement mechanics along with poor launch maps.

After that issues with servers, TTK/TTD, and operators continued to grow. But that didn’t stop that game from becoming theCoDtitle with the best-ever launch in the franchise. Even after so many controversies, people don’t just stop whining about the game. And the sad part is that this tendency sustains for everyCall of Dutytitle.

Not the bugs and the issues, the fans are the biggest enemies ofCall of Duty

There has been a tendency for years now for fans to start calling anyCoDthat comes out as the“worst CoD”of all time.Black Ops 6is not an exception as well. It would have been a lot more sensible if this remark had been made regarding a singleCoDtitle, but it turns out fans have now started putting the same tag on every game of this franchise, that too without any solid reason.

Not only that, even after they called any particular title the“worst CoD,”that tag never stopped them from playing that game. Every game that is released is referred to as the worst by the fans. Even thoughVanguardhad an excellent campaign tale, they also branded it the worst whenMW3arrived.GhostsandAdvanced Warfareare similar. The list is endless.

The worst enemies ofCall of Dutyare the fans themselves. They will continue to complain while playing every game. For example, despite facing harsh criticism, the new Battle Pass called theBlackCell in Season 2 became the second most-sold item on Steamin the past month.

If you don’t like it, don’t play it

If you are whining about a game, then why play it? Yes, every game has its fair share of issues; some have more, some have less, andBlack Ops 6is also not an exception. No game is pinpoint perfect as well. That doesn’t mean fans start howling about every aspect of the game.

And the most irritating aspect of the fans is that they don’t acknowledge what’s really good in the game. For instance,Black Ops 6has a really great Campaign, but you will hardly see any posts online about it. All you will see arerants about overpriced in-game items.

There isa skin for a concussion grenade inBlack Ops 6. If fans don’t think it’s useful, then it shouldn’t be bought. But what they will do is protest about it first and will eventually buy it. And this tendency has led Treyarch to put whatever in the game, because even the company knows players are going to buy those, no matter what. Now the point is, noCoDis the“worst.”It’sthe toxic fans of the franchisewho are actually the“worst.”
