War is hell, but Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 makes it a carnival game
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 offers a great premise with a 'gone rogue' story and characters like Russel Adler that lets developer Raven goof around
- Black Ops 6’s best missions feel like they were ripped out of Jack Reacher; it works best when it doesn’t take itself too seriously
- It's an unforced error handling real-world conflicts and historical figures as a backdrop to all that goofiness
- The Iraq mission feels entirely random within what’s an otherwise delightfully silly campaign
- Call of Duty doesn’t have the luxury of being thoughtless since it deals with very real historical events and figures
- By throwing a mission involving Middle Easterners to killing goofy monsters back-to-back, the campaign dehumanizes its Iraqis
- The game could plant a seed that can be watered by similar media in the Call of Duty's orbit
- Black Ops 6 is more concerned with creating bombastic moments than telling a story
- Its placement of zombie mission 'Emergence' could not be worse
- The game works if you can turn your brain off, but it could desensitize the players to the violence and dehumanize the victims of the bloodshed as a result
