Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 2 brings back a beloved game mode fans have been begging for, but all I care about is a practically meaningless bug fix
Get 🎐ready for Gun Game and a better win-loss ratio

Call of Duty: Blac♈k Ops 6 has started to roll out its impressive Season 2, which brings back the series' , but I'm less excited about a vintage game mode than I am about a subtle bug fix that restores free-for-all winner circles to what they should b෴e.
The fix is buried deep in developer (and, as far as I can tell, not listed at all in its ), but it should repair "an issue where final placements were being incorrectly calꦐculated" and "an issue where the Winner’s Circle would not consistently display the Top 3 players," Treyarch says.
I don't understand why no one is outside my window playing a tuba and getting shot out of a cannon. This is an ignore-your-family, parade-in-the-streets-with-confetti-guns-type patch, right? Why isn't𝓰 anyone else freaking out?
Before this apparent fix, for months, Black Ops 6's free-for-all mode was pestered by a bug that made winning aജ match worthless. , despite ranking in a match's top-three winner's circle with the most kills, Black Ops 6 would splash an infuriating "DEFEAT" graphic on their screen and disrupt their win-loss ratio. These players wouldn't show up in the winner's circle spotlight at the end of a match either, so no one could see their cool emotes, like the one where they go "shhh."
The winning losers were confused, too. "I got 0 kills," a Redditor . "Absolutely zero. And someho🎃w I won the game??? How."
It wasn't fair, and it was bad for morale – in a game like Call of Duty, where even third graders are verbally abusive and the coolest skins look 💛like they belong in a gumball machine, you need all the morale you can get. I'm than꧂kful that, now that the free-for-all bug is supposedly fixed, we are free.
