Summary

  • Treyarch added back the chicken sound effect for Black Ops 6 players who opt not to prestige in multiplayer.
  • The nostalgic touch was a popular inclusion back in 2009 with Modern Warfare 2.
  • Black Ops 6 players appreciate the little detail, further exploring all areas of the game to uncover more Easter eggs.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players discover that Treyarch has added back the chicken sound effect for those opting to not prestige in multiplayer. The latest Call of Duty title has arrived and reaction to it so far has been very positive. Fans and reviewers alike have called the Black Ops 6 campaign one of the best in a long time, and with surging player numbers, it's clear this is another hit for the long-running series.

As expected, Treyarch and the various supporting Activision studios have made sure to pack the game with plenty of hidden details and Easter eggs for players to find. The popular Zombies mode, in particular, appears to have plenty of secrets, including one Easter egg on Black Ops 6's new Liberty Falls map. After shooting a small zombie on one of the church's spires, zombies started raining from the sky, damaging the player if they are hit. However, that isn't the only hidden detail that players have come across.

Stumbling into it, seemingly by chance, players who opt to not prestige are met with a chicken sound effect, playfully teasing them about passing on the opportunity. A clip of this sound effect was captured and posted by ModernWarzone, who seemed surprised by the little returning detail. For those who reach max rank, the prestige system in Black Ops 6 allows players to essentially do it all again, with some actively wanting to restart the multiplayer grind all over again.

The History of Call of Duty's Chicken Sound Effect

While the sound effect may be a cute little touch, it actually serves as a little nod to the legacy of the franchise. Longtime players may remember that the chicken sound effect was part of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 from 2009. The sound detail has been well received by players, with many of them enjoying the hint of nostalgia, even if many players will likely miss it due to accepting Black Ops 6's prestige challenge and rewards all over again.

Naturally, these little touches and secrets have pushed the community to explore all areas in great detail. One eagle-eyed player noticed that the pool tables from the Terminus map in Call of Duty Zombies can be hit by melee attacks. While the hit does push and scramble the balls on the table as expected, Treyarch rewards the player with essence, an essential resource for purchasing things like Perks, Pack-a-punched weapons, or opening blocked off areas.

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.
