They now announce via the series' official Threads account that Black Ops 6 is "the biggest Call of Duty ever". And not just by one metric, but the game has had the most players, the most hours played and the most matches in its first month.

Activision has responded to concerns about Call of Duty: Black Ops 6's Ranked playlist, and specifically the efforts being undertaken to try to thwart cheaters. The company says it's banned thousands of players and is banning more people every hour, but some popular streamers have spoken out to voice their ongoing concerns.

Over 19,000 Ranked Play bans have been dished out to Black Ops 6 players during the mode’s first week of availability, according to Activision. Ranked Play launched on November 20 and is accessible to players who have achieved at least 50 wins in multiplayer.
