PC players of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 are expressing their concerns following the announcement that console players will soon have the option to disable crossplay with PCs. This change has the potential to significantly impact the PC player base, leading to extended matchmaking wait times.
The rationale behind this change appears clear. Cheating is a pervasive problem in Black Ops 6, and PC is often perceived as the primary platform for cheaters. While console cheating exists, it's generally considered less prevalent. This has resulted in frustration among console players who feel forced to play alongside PC players, with some requesting Treyarch to implement a complete removal of PC crossplay. Despite frequent anti-cheat updates from Call of Duty developers, cheating remains a persistent issue.
Activision has unveiled a new feature for the Blackcell Battle Pass in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, arriving with Season 3. The Season 3 patch notes confirmed that console players will gain access to console-only crossplay, effectively excluding PC players. This announcement sparked a divided reaction on Reddit, with some players expressing understanding despite their dislike for the change, citing concerns about potential impacts on queue times. Other users criticized Treyarch directly, urging the studio to prioritize improving anti-cheat measures over isolating the PC community. cod free vpn
PC players are raising concerns beyond just the shrinking player pool. The lack of effective cheater bans raises the likelihood of encountering cheaters in matches, potentially degrading the overall multiplayer experience on PC. However, some argue that many casual console players may not utilize the console-only crossplay option. The actual impact of this update will become clear with the launch of Season 3.
Following a delay in early March, Season 3 of Black Ops 6 finally arrived on April 2nd, bringing a wealth of new content, including new maps, modes, and the return of fan favorites like Firing Range and Demolition. The Blackcell Pass also introduces additional features.
