Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Campaign Making Big Departure from Cold War
Days before the official release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, developers confirm the game's campaign mode will take a different approach.
Ahead of its launch, Activision published a comprehensive list of the game's accessibility features. These include asymmetrical hearing compensation, which allows players to customize audio settings for each ear. This addition is meant to cater to players with partial hearing loss, helping them tweak the game's soundscape in order to have a maximally enjoyable experience. The series' first-ever asymmetrical hearing compensation feature can be found in the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 audio settings. That's where players will also find the "reduce tinnitus sound" toggle that's making a return from Modern Warfare 3 and will continue to dull the sounds of flash and concussion grenades when enabled.

COD: Black Ops 6 Is Improving Modern Warfare 3's High Contrast Mode
Black Ops 6 will also improve on Modern Warfare 3 by reworking its High Contrast Mode (HCM), most notably with the addition of customizable color settings for tweaking the way enemy outlines look. The mode itself will now be available in both Zombies and Campaign missions and matches. The new version of HCM will also have a "Dark Background" toggle that will further separate enemies from their environment by dimming the latter, which should be helpful for players with low vision.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6
Forced to go rogue. Hunted from within. This is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
Developed by Treyarch and Raven, Black Ops 6 is a spy action thriller set in the early 90s, a period of transition and upheaval in global politics, characterized by the end of the Cold War and the rise of the United States as a single superpower. With a mind-bending narrative, and unbound by the rules of engagement, this is signature Black Ops.
The Black Ops 6 Campaign provides dynamic moment-to-moment gameplay that includes a variety of play spaces with blockbuster set pieces and action-packed moments, high-stakes heists, and cloak-and-dagger spy activity.
In a best-in-class Multiplayer experience, players will test their skills across 16 new maps at launch, including 12 core 6v6 maps and 4 Strike maps that can be played 2v2 or 6v6.
Black Ops 6 also marks the epic return of Round-Based Zombies, the fan-favorite mode where players will take down hordes of the undead in two brand-new maps at launch. Post-launch, players can look forward to even more exciting maps and groundbreaking experiences dropping into both Multiplayer and Zombies.
