Summary

  • Players note an announcement screen error in Black Ops 6 with a visible mouse cursor, reflecting broader quality control issues.
  • Numerous bugs plague Black Ops 6, including hacking, server problems, and weapon blueprint glitches.
  • User complaints highlight the lack of attention to detail in the game and urge for fixes to be made promptly.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players are blasting Treyarch Studios' quality control as one fan notices a mouse cursor has been left in the latest announcement screen image. While this issue isn't exactly game-breaking, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players are using it as the latest example in a long line of bugs, glitches, and general overall quality problems that are becoming the downfall of the latest Call of Duty ​​​​​​game.

Back in October 2024, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 launched to rave reviews from both fans and critics. The latest Call of Duty title introduced a brand-new omnidirectional movement system and saw fans return to the iconic Black Ops series after a four-year break. While the game's multiplayer felt like a return to form for the franchise, recent weeks have seen issues big and small take over Black Ops 6, with a variety of problems such as hacking, server issues, broken weapon blueprints, and much more.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Players Point Out Announcement Screen Error

With Season 2 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 set to arrive later this month, fans are hopeful that the hit shooter will receive plenty of bug fixes. One of the latest issues is related to the game's announcement message, which appears as soon as players load up Black Ops 6's multiplayer. In a new post on Reddit, user Shred22 pointed out that the image used for the announcement message hasn't had the mouse cursor removed from when it was taken. The user noted that this is a "tiny issue" with Black Ops 6's quality control but "the list goes on," before blasting the game as "sloppy all around."

Plenty of other users chimed in by pointing out that there is a similar issue in various other parts of the game, such as Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's Zombies mode. Reddit user ByteStyles said that this "isn't the only mouse on screen either," before stating that there has been a mouse cursor present on Zombies' intel screen ever since the game was released. While the issue might seem small, Reddit user OGAtlasHugged argued that the gaming community "shouldn't defend shoddy craftsmanship and mistakes." They went on to state that there is "no such thing as too small of an issue" and that mistakes like this should be fixed no matter what.

This is just one of the many issues players are having with the latest Call of Duty title. Earlier this week, players discovered another serious issue with a Black Ops 6 weapon blueprint, with many blasting it as "pay to lose." The IDEAD store bundle features a weapon blueprint that is practically unusable due to the sheer number of effects that are shown when the user pulls the trigger. This blueprint is just one of many that feature similar issues that have yet to be rectified by Treyarch Studios.

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.
