Black Ops 6’s campaign has intrigued fans, drawing parallels to franchises like Metal Gear Solid and Casino Royale, particularly in its “High Rollers” mission, which emphasizes stealth and features a notable torture scene. Additionally, players can anticipate the upcoming multiplayer season starting November 14, introducing new maps, cosmetics, and gameplay enhancements, including a zombie mode update set in the ‘Citadel of the Dead’ and a new Warzone season, ‘Zone 99.’
While the campaign of a Call of Duty game often takes a back seat in terms of marketing, it appears that Black Ops 6 has managed to capture the attention of fans, many of whom are making intriguing connections to other franchises.
One mission, in particular, has sparked a sense of déjà-vu, evoking not only a popular video game series but also a well-loved action film from recent years.

High Rollers: A Blend of Metal Gear Solid and Casino Royale?
When mentioning Metal Gear Solid, it’s impossible to overlook the franchise’s signature elements of stealth and tactical gameplay, which are also central to the High Rollers mission in Black Ops 6. Players can opt for a stealthy approach, as demonstrated by renowned YouTuber Swifty Unknown in his walkthrough of the mission.
However, the parallels don’t stop there; a compelling comparison can be drawn to the iconic film Casino Royale, a James Bond classic where poker plays a pivotal role, mirroring the infiltration elements present in this mission. Beyond the stealth mechanics, a notable torture scene in a dimly lit basement serves as a clever homage to the film.
Additionally, some gamers have pointed out similarities with another title: Payday 2. Unfortunately, the franchise has faced difficulties since the underwhelming launch of Payday 3, which suffered from poor development choices.
After completing the campaign in Black Ops 6, players can look forward to the multiplayer experience, with the next season just around the corner!
