Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 was released on October 25, 2024 and received a fairly positive response upon release. This phase now seems to be over for some players. This is also the case with Twitch streamer Nadeshot, who wants to stop playing Black Ops 6 for now, even though he actually enjoys it.
Who is Nadeshot? Matthew Nadeshot Haag is the founder and CEO of the esports team 100 Thieves, previously a CoD professional. In 2024 he started streaming regularly again, but especially Valorant. When Black Ops 6 was released, he took off and even made a lot of money, as he accidentally published.
The initial euphoria now seems to have disappeared. Nateshot commented on the current state of the game and even wants to play it less, even though he actually enjoys it. The reason for this is several problems.
I can’t play it. I can’t enjoy it.
What does Nadeshot say? As CharlieIntel reports on x.com, Nadeshot currently wants to take a break from Black Ops 6. He says that he won’t stop playing the game completely, but that he doesn’t want to play it every day anymore. He no longer feels like he is making good use of his time.
He cites several things as reasons. On the one hand, the servers are a big problem. He criticizes the network performance and the poor servers. He also criticizes the fact that there is no guarantee that players have a fair experience. He also criticizes cheaters, who currently seem to be a big problem, in the clip. When it comes to this issue, he also criticizes the fact that it simply takes too long until it is fixed. By then the new Call of Duty would already be on the horizon.
He thinks that’s a shame because the game is actually good. When the game works properly, he has a lot of fun playing. But in response to the criticism he also says: I can’t play it. I can’t enjoy it.
He sees the guilt in the fact that, according to him, CoD wants to satisfy shareholders in order to save money. He says they have to wake up. However, there is no evidence for this claim.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is actually off to a pretty good start. According to Microsoft, the game was played more at launch than any other CoD. Many players like the new part of the shooter series, which was finally good for them again. MeinMMO editor Dariusz Müller also felt the same way about the game when it was released: Black Ops 6 is the best Call of Duty in years because, despite problems, it does a lot of things right
