A 78 average that undersells it — ask the 195 people who rated it. A shooter with warfare in its DNA — loud, fast, and built for repeat runs. Play it solo first. The multiplayer will still be there when you're done.

About this game

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is a first-person shooter co-developed by Treyarch and Raven Software, published by Activision in October 2024. It is the seventh entry in the Black Ops sub-series, set during the early 1990s Gulf War era. The game features a single-player campaign, competitive multiplayer with an omnidirectional movement system allowing players to sprint, dive, and slide in any direction, and a cooperative round-based Zombies mode. It had the longest development cycle in Call of Duty history at four years, during which the team rebuilt core Black Ops systems in a new shared engine.

During Operation Desert Storm, CIA operatives Troy Marshall and William ""Case"" Calderon are deployed to the Iraq-Kuwait border to extract an Iraqi official. The mission goes sideways when the target claims he is being hunted by a shadowy paramilitary force called Pantheon. After the extraction fails, a rogue former agent named Russell Adler surfaces with a cryptic message pointing to an old KGB safe house in Bulgaria. Suspended from duty and with no official support, Marshall, Case, and veteran operative Frank Woods assemble a team of outcasts, including an ex-Stasi technician and a skilled assassin. As they dig into Pantheon's operations, they uncover links between the group and CIA leadership itself, along with a dangerous psychochemical weapon called the Cradle. Declared fugitives after being framed for a Pantheon attack, the team must unravel a conspiracy that reaches into the highest levels of American intelligence.
