Summary
- Fan frustrations with hit registration in Black Ops 6 are prominent online.
- Treyarch is receptive to feedback, aiming to continually enhance the game.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players have taken to online forums to share their frustrations about the game's hit registration. This has always been a contentious issue throughout the Call of Duty series, although there are some particularly egregious examples from Black Ops 6.
Overall, the fan reception to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has been largely positive. Despite this, the game does have some issues, and fans have been very vocal about what they feel needs to be fixed with the game. For example, some Black Ops 6 players are calling for the removal of the Winner's Circle feature at the end of every game. The good news is that Treyarch has been very receptive to all player feedback so far, and while not every idea will make it into the game, the studio has worked since launch to continually improve the game.
Several clips have appeared online that appear to show how the hit registration in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has some glaring issues. The first is a Nuketown clip from Redditor BigSmnonk, in which their opponent is completely paused, allowing them to land perfect shots. However, all hits fail to register, despite blood splatters appearing. It was pointed out that the car usually in the middle of Nuketown hasn't loaded in here, which may account for the lack of hit registration. That's another problem entirely, though.
Black Ops 6 Hit Registration Has Some Glaring Issues
Still, another clip from Redditor Belial768 is undeniable. They shoot their enemy, with nothing between the two. There's another huge blood splatter, and they even turn away as a muscle memory response to killing their opponent. Yet, the kill isn't registered, showcasing the issue at hand here. One player joked that they "clearly need a better gaming chair," while another said, "you just had red paintball in your gun." It's not as though it's an issue with Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's weapons - there's not even a hit marker, so the game doesn't believe the bullet is landing in the first place.
While Treyarch continues to work on fixing existing problems in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, it's also hard at work on new content for the game. Season 1 is now underway, which came with the arrival of a few new weapons and multiplayer maps. Going forward, Treyarch has also teased a new Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies map, so there's plenty to look forward to in the coming weeks and months.

WHERE TO PLAY
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.
