The Call of Duty: Black Ops series is famous for its fast multiplayer action and exciting campaigns. The franchise has changed a lot over the years, especially in how it adds new maps and content. Since the first Black Ops in 2010, each game has brought in new maps, game modes, and regular updates, keeping things fresh. This constant flow of new updates and the occasional removal of older content keeps the game exciting and ever-changing. Now, a recent leak hints that an old mode, one longtime fans will remember, is making a return.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is Banning a Bunch of Ranked Play Cheaters
Activision provides an update on the state of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Ranked Play, confirming a large number of cheaters have now been banned.
Veteran Call of Duty fans have reason to be excited, as a recent leak suggests that the multiplayer mode Sharpshooter is making a comeback. Leaker SemtexLeaks shared that the classic party mode, featured in Black Ops 1 and 2, is nearly complete and could be added to the Black Ops 6 mode offerings soon.
Sharpshooter Is Near Completion and Will Be Added to Black Ops 6, According to Leak
First introduced in the original Black Ops, Sharpshooter mode was part of the game’s "Party Games" lineup, a set of fun, less traditional multiplayer modes designed for a more casual, fast-paced, and often chaotic experience. Sharpshooter challenged players to adapt by cycling through randomly selected weapons every 45 seconds. Everyone had to use the same weapon at the same time, and killstreaks provided perks and score multipliers to keep the action intense and fast-paced. Sharpshooter’s dynamic gameplay worked particularly well on maps like Nuketown, where its infinite ammo and rapid weapon changes created a chaotic and fun battlefield.
Apart from the Sharpshooter leak, Black Ops 6 has recently received several updates that focus on improving gameplay and fixing bugs. The movement system has been improved with faster high mantling, making it easier for players to climb walls and ledges, while the Zombies mode has received stability improvements, making the experience more reliable and immersive.
While official confirmation of Sharpshooter’s return is still awaited, the leak suggests an exciting upcoming addition for the Call of Duty community. Whether for veterans or newcomers, Sharpshooter’s comeback could enhance the Black Ops 6 multiplayer lineup.
