Call of Duty Zombies has been a huge return to form this year with Black Ops 6, bringing back the round-based experience with a taste of old and modern gameplay. However, after all these years, there’s still one big missing option in the Zombies mode that not even this game has addressed despite all its positivity. And the bigger the game gets, the more crucial it feels for Black Ops 6 Zombies to have a feature to separate the easter egg hunters and camo grinders.
Getting directly to the point, some players don’t give a damn about others trying to do an easter egg hunt. You hop into an online game on the beautiful clouds of finding teammates that’d help you complete an easter egg on Liberty Falls or Terminus Island, but what you get 90% of the time is camo grinders that don’t communicate, won’t leave a last zombie alive, and ruin the experience.
Now, this isn’t an issue, but more of a preference when searching for teammates. Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies could easily feature an option that allows the player to search for people that share common goals. There should be a casual lobby for all those wanting to kill some zombies and have fun unlocking camos, and another one for those trying their best to find easter eggs, complete story-based challenges, and even exfil when needed.
Surely you can always play Solo if you don’t want anyone interrupting your Zombies easter egg hunting effort. But that doesn’t solve the problem if I’m struggling to kill the final boss on Terminus Island, for example, and need some help. Or maybe I just want to have fun completing the main quest of a co-op game mode with others.
This feature isn’t a big deal to have in the game, for sure, as we had options to look for specific players back in MW2 2022 as well. You could go ahead and search for players that have microphones, for example. And with that being a thing, why not add a much simpler version of it to Black Ops 6 Zombies so that I get to wait a little longer in the lobby but be damn sure that my teammates, in most times at least, cooperate with me for running easter eggs and completing the map’s main quest?
