Reactions to the new Liberty Falls Zombies map inCall of Duty: Black Ops 6were heard loud and clear by the development team, with Activision confirming changes will be made that directly address complaints from fans. Treyarch showed off Liberty Falls earlier this year as anticipation builds ahead of the release ofBlack Ops 6later this October, which promises to take the studio’s ever-expanding Zombies storyline into exciting new territory. However, reactions were mixed, with fans feeling disappointed by the upcoming map.
WhileBlack Ops 6includes the typical features and modes expected with each new yearlyCall of Dutyrelease, the game’s Zombies mode has been especially interesting for fans, with many feeling somewhat dissatisfied by the last few years of content. What started as a simple Easter eggpackaged at the end of theWorld at Warcampaignmorphed and evolved into one of the most popular survival experiences in the video game industry, complete with interconnecting plots and extra-dimensional beings. WhileBlack Ops 1,2, and3are often considered the “peak” ofCall of Duty Zombies, fans are hopingBlack Ops 6takes the mode in a more satisfying direction, with Activision confirming fan feedback is being taken into consideration.
Activision has now stated that elements seen in the original Liberty Falls reveal, like the HUD and the map’s visuals, are being worked on.Black Ops 6’s HUD was criticized after its reveal for feeling disjointed. Fans also pushed back against Liberty Falls for feeling lifeless compared topreviousCall of Duty Zombiesmaps. “Liberty Falls that everyone saw at Call of Duty Next was work in progress…the Zombies team has continued to iterate on Liberty Falls. Visual tone and look and feel are now a bit moody-er than what people saw at Call of Duty Next. There are atmospheric elements that people did not see at Next. Liberty Falls is meant to be smaller, more casual compared to Terminus,” the comments read.
