Gameplay footage fromCall of Duty: Black Ops 6has revealed a helpful callback to a previousCall of Dutygame, 2019’sCall of Duty: Modern Warfarereboot. The footage was found in a large leak ofCall of Duty: Black Ops 6gameplay that was uploaded online.
With dozens of releases under theCall of Dutyfranchise banner over the years, every studio developing aCall of Dutygame has its work cut out for it. Developers must balance making a new game unique enough to distinguish itself from the increasingly large pack, but also retain the things people like not just about a particularCall of Dutysubseries (such as theBlack Opsline), but also aboutCall of Dutyin general. Fans and casual players alike are constantly comparing new games to older ones, as well, and will likely judgeCall of Duty: Black Ops 6for how it honors past gamesas well as how it stands apart from its peers.
Now a series of leaks fromCall of Duty: Black Ops 6appear to reveal that developer Treyarch will be using theBlack Ops 6user interface (UI) settings to pay a bit of homage toCall of Duty: Modern Warfare, the 2019 reboot ofCall of Duty’s most popular subseries.A post published by the CharlieIntel Twitter accountshowed that leakedCall of Duty: Black Ops 6gameplay revealed that the game has a special heads-up display (HUD) preset simply titled “Modern Warfare” that rearranges the player’s UI elements to closely resemble the way they looked inCall of Duty: Modern Warfare. The change will debut alongside otherBlack Ops 6UI tweaksdesigned to improve the customizability and usability of the interface for players.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Has a Modern Warfare 2019 HUD Setting
According to the CharlieIntel post, theCall of Duty: Black Ops 6Modern Warfare HUD preset will change the layout of the game’s UI, changing the shape of the minimap to a square. Objective icons will also be visible and arranged along the compass, allowing players to find their way aroundthe newBlack Ops 6maps. By comparison, previousCall of Duty: Black Opsseries games have used a circular minimap, placing objective icons around the circle’s border rather than on the compass to indicate their relative position. Modern Warfare is just one of several HUD presets inBlack Ops 6, but it’s the only one specifically evoking anotherCall of Dutytitle.
Theadditional UI customizability promoted byBlack Ops 6was greeted warmly by fans, who enjoyed the option of maintaining consistency between differentCall of Dutytitles for ease of use. Some expressed skepticism thatBlack Ops 6would “feel” truly different fromModern Warfaregiven that they share similar game engines, calling the UI tweaks “cosmetic.” Others reminisced about the fun they had with the 2019Modern Warfarereboot, hailing iconic missions like “Clean House” and others.
