Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 review — A quality campaign and wider gameplay variety (updated)

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has finally hit the market, after four years of development. For me, this means there are new ways to die in a video game. For the rest of you, hopefully it means there are more exciting ways to take your enemies out.

It’s a good game with excellent multiplayer from what I’ve seen so far, and the campaign has one of the best stories in years for Call of Duty. (Update: Microsoft announced the game was the biggest Call of Duty release in history on October 30; another update: this game has a score now).
