Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has started to roll out its impressive Season 2, which brings back the series' worshipped Gun Game, 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 be.
The fix is buried deep in developer Treyarch's patch notes (and, as far as I can tell, not listed at all in its Season 2 announcement), but it should repair "an issue where final placements were being incorrectly calculated" 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't 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 a match worthless.
Players discovered that, 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.
