Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 2 will let players battle on boats and bullet-trains, with the Terminator entering the fray 'shortly after launch'

pcgamer.com:

I thought I was above getting excited over brand crossovers in multiplayer shooters, so it is to my great shame I admit my heart rate spiked when Activision revealed the Terminator is coming to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. Look, everybody has a weakness, and there hasn't been a good Terminator film in over thirty years, so at least I can pretend I'm in one by gunning down teenagers as James Cameron's cyborg assassin.

I've skipped ahead a bit here. The Terminator was teased on Call of Duty's blog as part of Black Ops 6's Season 2 update, but Arnie's crimson-eyed killing machine won't arrive through the time portal until shortly after Season 2 drops. But there's plenty coming to Black Ops 6 in Season 2 itself, including a cache of new maps, two multiplayer game modes, and a horde of updates to zombies.

Let's kick off with those map reveals. There are five arenas landing in Season 2 of Black Ops 6, four of which are entirely new, with three of these arriving at launch. These include Bounty, a 6v6 map where players battle inside the lavish penthouse suite of an Avalon crime boss, and Dealership, another 6v6 arena where you'll ruin some car salesman's day blasting speed holes in all his sleek, shiny rides. The launch map that caught my eye, though, is Lifeline, a compact Strike map set in on a luxury yacht stranded in the middle of the ocean. I love a map that squeezes players together, especially one that adds a novel conceit on top. Lifeline looks like it has both.

Following these launch maps, two further kill-boxes will unfold later in the season. This includes a remaster of Grind, a skate park map originally debuting in Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. More interesting, though, is Bullet, another tight arena themed around a bullet train. As well as fighting inside the compartments, Bullet will also let players try to get the drop on opponents by climbing onto the roof. Be warned, though, this tactic apparently risks you being thrown off the train as it hurtles along at
