Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 receives two highly anticipated additions this week: the classic "Infected" mode and the iconic Nuketown map. Following its launch last week, Treyarch, the developer, announced via Twitter (X) that "Infected" will be available tomorrow, with Nuketown launching on November 1st.

Infected and Nuketown Enhance Black Ops 6

"Infected," a fan-favorite party mode, pits players against AI-controlled zombies. Nuketown, a map first introduced in Call of Duty: Black Ops (2010), is a nostalgic addition inspired by 1950s American nuclear test sites. These additions build upon the 11 standard multiplayer modes already included in the game’s initial release on October 25th. Activision previously confirmed plans for regular post-launch content updates.

Black Ops 6 Update Addresses Post-Launch Bugs

A recent update addressed several issues reported by players. Improvements include increased XP rates in various multiplayer modes (Team Deathmatch, Control, Search & Destroy, and Gunfight) and fixes for several bugs:

• Global: Resolved loadout highlighting, Bailey's operator animation, and the "Mute Licensed Music" setting.
• Maps: Addressed exploits allowing players to leave designated play areas on Babylon, Lowtown, and Red Card maps. Improved stability on Red Card. General in-game interaction stability improvements.
• Multiplayer: Fixed matchmaking issues preventing quick player replacements, resolved a private match forfeit bug, and addressed a continuous missile sound effect in Scorestreaks.

While some issues persist (e.g., player death upon loadout selection in Search & Destroy), developers Treyarch and Raven Software are actively working on further patches. Despite these initial post-launch challenges, Black Ops 6 has been widely praised, particularly for its engaging campaign. For a comprehensive review, see Game8's analysis (link omitted).
