<\/strong>If you think you know what to expect from a Call of Duty game, well \u2026 you\u2019re probably right, but Black Ops 6 does its thing with panache<\/p>\n

Whoever thought of constructing this game\u2019s campaign around a safe house resembling a haunted mansion on an abandoned country estate deserves an immediate pay rise. After each foray into shoot-\u2019em-up carnage, your team of militarised misfits is deposited back into this sprawling country pile, which for some reason is filled with intriguing mysteries and puzzles: what happens if you play the piano? Where does that passage lead? What is this, scrawled in invisible ink on the wall? It\u2019s like Scooby-Doo crossed with Daphne du Maurier\u2019s Rebecca \u2013 a comparison I never imagined making about a Call of Duty game.<\/p>\n

Lead developers Treyarch and Raven have had four years to work on this title and boy does it show. The multiplayer mode is both familiar and fresh thanks to its \u201comni-movement\u201d, which lets you run and leap in every direction, radically altering the feel of movement and tipping the balance of lethal encounters in favour of people with spatial reasoning skills rather than lightning-fast trigger fingers. The small maps, taking in derelict radar stations, strip mall forecourts and penthouse apartments, have been intricately built to provide combinations of labyrinthine corridors, long sight-lines and sneaky cubby holes. The weapons, including 12 newcomers, are designed to exploit varying playstyles from quick-scope super snipers to Red Bull-guzzling SMG teens \u2013 and the gunsmith allows myriad ways to modify each one, with genuine tangible effects on your play.<\/p>\n
