Summary

  • Unlucky player kicked for inactivity while solving an Easter egg due to inaccurate movement detection.
  • New pause timer in Black Ops 6 Zombies draws community criticism, causing bugs and loss of progress.
  • Bugs hamper gameplay experience, with timer inaccurately registering movement and ejecting players.

A Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 player met with an unexpected bug and was kicked out of the game while trying to solve the Easter egg in the Zombies mode. The new pause timer in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies has drawn a lot of flak from the community, but this bug seems to make things even worse, as it was triggered without the user hitting the threshold.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has been quite a pivotal game for the franchise. The game introduces several new features and sets the ball rolling for a new era of the franchise. And it seems like, so far, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has delivered pretty well, with a few caveats. While the Zombies mode has also been widely acclaimed, bugs seem to major pain point for the community.

In a new post on the Call of Duty Zombies subreddit, user DiegoMm reveals an unfortunate bug they encountered while playing the Zombies mode. While trying to solve the Easter egg in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies, the player got kicked for inactivity. What's surprising is the fact that the player was not inactive and was moving, albeit in a small vicinity. However, it seems that a possible bug is not registering the movement of the players accurately and kicking them out of the game altogether.

Fans Aren't Happy About Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies' Pause Feature

One of the biggest changes that was introduced in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies was the ability to pause and save the game. However, it has come with its own set of restrictions. Players can only pause up to a total of 15 minutes in a game, and only while playing solo. This 15-minute timer doesn't reset every time the game is paused, and this hasn't gone down well in the community. Not to forget, there have been several other bugs as well, including one that starts the game much earlier in the background, causing players to get downed by zombies even before they can start playing.

The new timer seems to be affecting players who are not inactive either, as other users have explained that the game registers movement when it is at least greater than three feet from the original position. In fact, what makes things even worse is that when the user tried to load back into the game, they lost all their loot and had to start from scratch. While this feature has been implemented to optimize server space, the bugs that players are facing in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies seem to be significantly hampering the gameplay experience for users.

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.
