Follow the Call of Duty series long enough and you'll recognize exactly the place we're in with Black Ops 6: The game is revealed, we know one major change coming to multiplayer (sprinting in any direction), and now it's time for the campaign. Activision debuted six minutes of campaign gameplay at Gamescom Opening Night Live with a standard CoD dose of stacking up on doorways, shooting at a big armored guy with a minigun, and riding on the back of a vehicle while more shooting happens.
Looks as fun as any Black Ops campaign, and it'd be hard to do any worse than the disaster that was Modern Warfare 3's story, but let's be honest: We're gonna forget all about Adler and his gang of executive branch-approved buds as soon as the Black Ops 6 campaign is over. I can't think of a series for which the singleplayer portion of a game is less consequential. What CoD players spend 99% of their time on, and what we still know little about, is multiplayer. Treyarch's lips are sealed on that front until the CoD Next event later this month.
