Blog Tag: Bo6 Squid Game Crossover

In recent days, the crossover activities of CoD Black Ops 6 and Squid Game are in full swing. The former is the latest work in the classic Call of Duty series, and the latter is one of the most popular TV series in recent years. The combination of the two is bound to bring you a refreshing shooting game experience.

Although such game crossovers are always more popular, not every crossover is perfect, such as this crossover with Squid Game. I believe that when you experience this event, you have discovered its outstanding advantages and should have noticed its shortcomings. If you haven’t experienced or discovered these features, let us introduce them to you.

Pros Of Squid Game Crossover Event

Compared with the initial launch, the popularity of Black Ops 6 seems to have subsided recently, so the game seized the opportunity to launch one of its most extensive crossover activities ever, the recent Squid Game Crossover.

With this “rescue measure”, BO6 not only enriched its core experience but also gained a lot of fresh content, such as new limited-time modes. In addition, new limited skins that can be exchanged with CoD: Black Ops 6 Redeem Codes were launched to attract a group of new players again.

But besides these obvious benefits, I don’t know if you noticed a brilliant detail in this crossover event. The music of the Netflix show was used, which also brought a very good gaming experience to BO6.

Choose The Appropriate Soundtrack

In addition to the various rewards with squid game characteristics that can be obtained, and new limited-time modes including Piggy Bank TDM, Roulette, Dead Light, Green Light and other modes, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 adds more personalized and detailed features to this crossover by applying the iconic music of squid games to the game. After all, if you can hear the music before and after the contest, you will definitely get more immersion.

In fact, if you are a fan of squid games, hearing the music in the show in the game will definitely make you more excited. In addition, the addition of special top player background music with the theme of the show lounge also raised the texture of this crossover to a new level.

Although the details of music are easily overlooked in such a complicated crossover event, you have to admit that the benefits it brings to this crossover are worth replicated for other games in future. One reason the crossovers held by other games in Call of Duty series and other IPs were disappointing before may be the lack of such musical efforts.

Besides Call of Duty series, other games always focus on new gameplay that matches the theme of a specific IP when holding crossovers, while ignoring the role of music in cross-border activities. But this cooperation between BO6 and Squid Game proves that paying attention to the details of music can give cross-border games more personalized elements, making the crossover more faithful to the original while reflecting the characteristics of careful production.

Cons Of Squid Game Crossover Event

The shortcomings of this crossover are mainly reflected in the rewards. As a shooting game, Black Ops 6 usually provides you with advanced rewards and free rewards in events, but you will find that there is a problem with the advanced rewards of this Squid Game crossover, even if you have the seasonal Battle Pass in advance, you can’t get the advanced rewards of the event directly as in the past, but need to consume additional CoD points to get them.

As one of the main props of the game, the seasonal Battle Pass itself requires a lot of points, and the advanced reward acquisition mechanism of Squid Game crossover is undoubtedly asking you for more points. While disappointing and confusing you, you will also think that this is a dirty trick of the game developer.

In fact, the way the seasonal Battle Pass works has shown some signs through other games in Call of Duty series a few years ago, such as they are only valid within the season, and if you want them to work in other situations, you need to upgrade them again.

If you exchange the seasonal Battle Pass for 1,100 CoD points, you will have the opportunity to get a lot of limited-time cosmetics and other accessories, but at the same time you will find that some better rewards still need to be redeemed through Redeem Codes. This has to make you feel that the Battle Pass seems to be unworthy.

Squid Game crossover includes ten premium rewards and ten free rewards, so according to common sense, as long as you own the seasonal Battle Pass, you can get 20 crossover rewards, although the crossover rewards are not particularly rare compared to the rewards obtained directly through Battle Pass. But so what? Now, just owning the seasonal Battle Pass will not allow you to get these crossover rewards.

Have BO6 Developers Taken Remedial Measures?

If you enter Black Ops 6 now, you may see players wearing Front Man skin, which is the final premium reward of Squid Game crossover event. There is no doubt that in the face of such an unfair reward acquisition mechanism, some players still choose to “surrender” for the desired rewards, which makes it even more impossible for the game developers to reflect on themselves and make remedies.

But if CoD: Black Ops 6 does not repent in future crossovers and still intends to make more benefits for itself by making a fuss about the reward mechanism, then one day no player will accept it. It will be too late to make remedies after all players have left BO6 game community. After all, the trust of players is the foundation for the sustainable development of a game.

I hope that after understanding the above content, you will have a more comprehensive understanding of this crossover. Thank you for reading.
