"Black Ops 6 Tops US Sales Charts in 2024"

According to Circana analysts, *Black Ops 6* emerged as the best-selling game in the United States last year, continuing the Call of Duty series' dominance at the top of the U.S. market for an impressive 16 consecutive years. This year, the most popular sports game in the U.S. was *EA Sports College Football 25*, which hit the consoles in July. Despite a slight dip in overall spending by U.S. gamers in 2024, down by 1.1% from the previous year, Circana notes that this decline is primarily due to reduced demand for hardware. On the brighter side, spending on add-ons and services saw an increase of 2% and 6%, respectively.

Looking ahead, *Black Ops 6* and *Warzone 2* are set to launch their second season on January 28, featuring a thrilling ninja-themed event and a crossover with the iconic "Terminator" universe. This promises to bring fresh excitement to the gaming community.

The game has received widespread acclaim for its varied missions that keep players engaged and surprised throughout the campaign. Both players and critics have lauded the refined shooting mechanics and the innovative movement system, which allows characters to run in any direction and shoot while falling or lying on their backs. The campaign's duration, clocking in at around eight hours, has been praised for striking the perfect balance—not too short, not too long. Many gamers have echoed these sentiments, particularly highlighting the zombies mode and the campaign as standout features.

However, *Black Ops 6* has not been without its detractors. Some players found the game disappointing, with the majority of complaints on Steam focusing on technical issues. Reviews have pointed out that the game frequently crashes and suffers from erratic server connections, which can hinder progress through the story mode.
