Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 player highlights the awful spawn points on Stakeout with a wild clip.
Some users are calling Black Ops 6’s maps “trash,” while others defend Stakeout by pointing out that the map is intended for 2v2, not 6v6.
Season 1 of Black Ops 6 has been confirmed for November 14, hopefully adding new maps to the game’s multiplayer.

A Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 player has shared an outrageous clip online, showcasing just how bad some of the game’s spawn points are, specifically on the 6v6 multiplayer map Stakeout. While Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has been a massive success for publisher Activision and developer Treyarch Studios, a common complaint from players has been with the game’s lackluster launch maps, along with some questionable spawn points.

After back-to-back years of new entries in the Modern Warfare series, Treyarch returned with a bang with Black Ops 6 on October 25. Unlike previous entries, the latest Call of Duty title has had four years’ worth of development time, leading to some glowing reviews from Black Ops 6 players. Although the shooter’s campaign is being called the best in recent years, multiplayer fans are eager to see some new maps put into the mix with the game’s post-launch updates as players are blasting the launch maps as some of the worst to date.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 offers a unique take on the series’ create a class system, offering the best blend of customization that the IP has seen.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Clip Shows Stakeout’s Awful Spawns

Over on Reddit, user That_Ad_7443 has highlighted just how bad the spawn points are on Black Ops 6‘s Stakeout map with a clip that will make any Call of Duty player’s jaw hit the floor in disbelief. The short clip shows one player receiving the coveted ‘best play’ showcase at the end of the match, where they simply camp on the balcony found on the right-hand side of the map and eliminate seven people in a row as they continue to spawn in the exact same location every time. The response from fans has been mixed, with some users calling the game “trash” while others defend the game by noting that Stakeout was designed to primarily be a 2v2 map.

While plenty of new and returning game modes are coming to Black Ops 6 in the future, a popular playlist choice at the moment is Face Off Moshpit, which only features four maps: Pit, Warhead, Stakeout, and Gala. The modes in the playlist rotate between Domination, Kill Confirmed, Team Deathmatch, and Kill Order, with all scorestreaks being disabled. While two of the aforementioned four maps were designed for team sizes of six, Warhead and Stakeout are primarily for team sizes of two, which can lead to some questionable spawn points, especially on Stakeout, which is just as chaotic as Modern Warfare‘s Shipment.

Thankfully, Season 1 of Black Ops 6 is right around the corner, and Treyarch has already promised to bring back some iconic maps from past titles. It’s currently unconfirmed what new maps and modes will be available with the game’s first major content update, but one player recently discovered a classic World at War map is actually hiding in plain sight in Black Ops 6, leading to speculation that it could be arriving on November 14 with Season 1.

Forced to go rogue. Hunted from within. This is Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

Developed by Treyarch and Raven, Black Ops 6 is a spy action thriller set in the early 90s, a period of transition and upheaval in global politics, characterized by the end of the Cold War and the rise of the United States as a single superpower. With a mind-bending narrative, and unbound by the rules of engagement, this is signature Black Ops.

The Black Ops 6 Campaign provides dynamic moment-to-moment gameplay that includes a variety of play spaces with blockbuster set pieces and action-packed moments, high-stakes heists, and cloak-and-dagger spy activity.

In a best-in-class Multiplayer experience, players will test their skills across 16 new maps at launch, including 12 core 6v6 maps and 4 Strike maps that can be played 2v2 or 6v6.

Black Ops 6 also marks the epic return of Round-Based Zombies, the fan-favorite mode where players will take down hordes of the undead in two brand-new maps at launch. Post-launch, players can look forward to even more exciting maps and groundbreaking experiences dropping into both Multiplayer and Zombies.
