It’s only been a day since the Black Ops 6 beta kicked off, but Call of Duty fans are already finding issues to address before the official release.
According to multiple players, Black Ops 6‘s ongoing beta is suffering from “atrocious” player visibility problems, making it extremely difficult to spot enemies. Some said that they are even finding it hard to spot enemies standing still in some circumstances, but the big issues arrive when they are crouched or prone on the ground.
In some cases, the player model blends into its surroundings, making them almost impossible to see unless you’re taking your time—and most players aren’t looking to slow down in a game as fast-paced as Black Ops 6. Others also report a delay for enemy nametags, so by the time you’ve aimed at a possible hiding spot, you’ve already died.
“The auto lean mechanic sets up some absolutely filthy head glitches,” one user said on the Black Ops 6 subreddit. “There’s people I never see until the killcam. I don’t gripe about how people play the game, but campers in cover are nearly impossible to even see.”
Player visibility has been one of the rising issues in Call of Duty titles, forcing players to find temporary solutions, such as increasing World Color Intensity to 100 to make colors pop and player models more noticeable in turn among the various details in the world.
Changes to the name tags could be a possible fix. Not only should the nameplate appear on time when aiming at an enemy combatant, but it should also be more vivid and noticeable to allow more room to react. With so many players using the new omnidirectional movement system, there will be plenty of folks who are dolphin-diving into the ground and disappearing.
Black Ops 6 is set for an Oct. 25 release date.
