Summary
- Players want teammates to focus on objectives to win games, not just on grinding camos.
- XP rewards for playing the objective need to be increased by double or triple levels.
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players express frustration over teammates not prioritizing objectives.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players are sharing their frustrations with teammates who refuse to play the objective in certain game modes. This isn't an issue specific to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, having been a problem in the series for years, but it's no surprise to see it rear its head again in the new title.
Across the multiplayer game modes in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, only one is scored by kills and kills alone: Team Deathmatch. Even in Kill Confirmed, where kills are necessary to drop the dog tags to pick up, they mean very little if no one is actually bothering to collect them. Many players see objective-based modes like Domination and Hardpoint as an opportunity to farm weapon camos, with games lasting much longer compared to Team Deathmatch. This often comes at the expense of objective play. Sure, kills help to win these games, but it's nothing without one or two players playing objectives exclusively to try and win the game. It's causing a small rift in the community.
PSA: Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies Players Should Avoid One Weapon Charm
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players online notice a huge bug that means one particular weapon charm should be avoided until it's fixed.
Several threads have appeared online lately complaining about teammates refusing to play the objective. One thread from user metalfingers222 pointed out that playing the objective can actually be quicker for earning Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 camos, as it gets players more involved in the action. Another player here pointed out that any team with six players who all played the objective "would never lose again."
Black Ops 6 Players Want Teammates to Play the Objective
With problems come solutions. Another thread from Redditor Enszourous suggested that XP rewards from playing the objective need to be "double or even triple" their current levels. Right now, there's a sentiment that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 punishes objective players by placing them at the bottom of the leaderboard. Increasing the XP gained by playing the objective would be a good solution for this, but it wouldn't be a huge help when it comes to the fact that many players are just there to grind out camos.
Despite community frustrations about this problem, it's not something that Treyarch has directly addressed yet. The good news is that the studio frequently releases new updates for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, making minor balancing tweaks to various things. XP rates for objective play would be easily changed, so it wouldn't be a massive surprise to see Treyarch experiment with this in the future. It's understandable why it's such a big problem for players at the moment, and hopefully, the developer can find the right solution.

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.
