Summary
- The Black Ops 6 beta includes new maps, weapons, and the Omnimovement system - though one of its maps has some players scratching their heads.
- A player noticed a piano in the Skyline map has 111 keys instead of the standard 88 keys, which led to jokes about Skyline being 'unplayable' due to the flaw.
A player recently noticed a rather unusual error in one of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's new maps and shared their findings with the rest of the game's online community. The discovery revolves around a prop on one of the multiplayer maps and was made during the Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 beta, which allows fans to get their hands on the exciting new FPS weeks ahead of the game's release later this fall.
Black Ops 6 is one of the year's most anticipated releases and shakes up the decades-old Call of Duty formula in a variety of ways. Players got their first taste of Black Ops 6's new omnidirectional movement system during the game's beta, which began at the end of August. This beta has also allowed players to explore some of the game's new weapons and maps, though there's still plenty in store for when Black Ops 6 officially releases later this year. As players wage war on Black Ops 6's new maps, new strategies and discoveries are coming about at a rapid pace, though one map in particular has caught the community's attention in an unexpected way.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Makes Major Change to Aim Assist
A long-tenured Treyarch developer confirms that tweaks and a major change to aim assist has been made to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
Reddit user Someweirdspookboi shared an image of Skyline, one of several new maps to be featured in Black Ops 6. This map places gamers in a luxurious resort getaway, though the Call of Duty community is particularly interested in Treyarch's choice of musical instruments. Inside the lounge area on Skyline, players will find a piano with 111 keys. While this number may not mean anything to some players, standard pianos have 88 keys, making this video game representation inaccurate. The same Reddit user joked about this inaccuracy, calling Black Ops 6 "unplayable" because of it.

Skyline is one of several maps featured in the Black Ops 6 beta, with a few more set to debut as the event continues this September. The Black Ops 6 beta opened to those who pre-ordered the game on August 30, with this early access window ending on September 4. The beta will open to all players on September 6, with it officially coming to a close on September 9. The Black Ops 6 beta only includes access to multiplayer, with the game's Zombies and campaign modes still being kept somewhat secret.
Black Ops 6 officially releases on October 25, 2024, and will undoubtedly be a big day for the video game industry. Not only will the game continue Treyarch's revered Black Ops franchise, but Black Ops 6 will also become the first Call of Duty title to launch on Microsoft's Game Pass service. Game Pass is a monthly subscription platform that grants users access to an ever-expanding library of games, with the full version of Black Ops 6 being available day-one for Ultimate subscribers.

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.
