This article contains spoilers for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's campaign.
Summary
- Players are already discovering new possibilities in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, showcasing the game's potential.
- The game features a return to form for the series with the new omni-movement system.
- A player executed a remarkable 1440-degree no-scope trickshot in the campaign mode, reminiscent of classic sniping montages.
A Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 player online has hit a ridiculous trickshot during an early campaign mission, which is sure to evoke memories for many long-time fans of classic multiplayer sniping montages. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has barely just been released, but players are already figuring out what is possible in the game.
It's still early days, but it appears that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is a return to form for the series after a mixed reception to last year's Modern Warfare 3. The omni-movement is a huge step forward for the franchise, making some fans wonder how they ever played without it. Some gamers are already grinding it heavily, with one Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 streamer even managing to unlock gold camos before the game's worldwide launch. It's a great base for Treyarch to work from, so it'll be exciting to see what the studio does in terms of live-service content over the next 12 months.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Twitch Drops Are Live
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is finally available, and to celebrate the launch of the anticipated shooter, players can grab some drops on Twitch.
During the second mission of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's campaign, Blood Feud, players are tasked with assassinating Yannik Dufour from afar as he parties on his boat. Rather than simply zooming in and sniping him, Redditor MK1Desync decided to do it in style. Jumping from the tower, the player spins what appears to be four times in the air before no-scoping Yannik. Forget 360 no-scopes - this seems to be a remarkable 1440-degree no-scope, and looks like something that could have been plucked directly from a 2009 Modern Warfare 2 sniping montage. There's a slow-motion clip of the bullet firing into Yannik for good measure, and Sev even praises the player, calling it "a hell of a shot."
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Blood Feud Campaign Trickshot
Gamers have been attempting crazy Call of Duty trickshots for years, and it's always epic to see them pulled off. While most are usually in multiplayer, it's cool to see one work out in the campaign mode. According to MK1Desync, this particular shot "took forever to hit," and it's clear to see why this is the case, with one fan joking, "that's why I quit the campaign. Too many sweats."
Despite already being a massive success in its early days, there will hopefully be more to come to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 for fans. Nuketown is coming to Black Ops 6 on November 1, marking another return for the fan-favorite map, and there's likely to be even more before the start of the game's Season 1, which doesn't have a date currently.

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.
