Treyarch has added two new maps, Bounty and Dealership, to Black Ops 6's Ranked Play rotation for evaluation until February 14. However, players are more concerned about persistent issues with cheaters and hackers in competitive play.

Despite the new content announcement, the community's response has centered on demands for improved anti-cheat measures. The RICOCHET Anti-Cheat system continues to face criticism, even after recent updates and the addition of console crossplay toggle options.

Key community concerns include:

  • Ongoing presence of cheaters in PC lobbies
  • Weapon balance issues with KSV, PPSh-41, and Cypher 091
  • Mixed reception to the new maps' competitive viability

The evaluation period coincides with the next Call of Duty League match on February 14, when decisions about the maps' inclusion in pro rotation and game modes will be finalized. The upcoming Black Ops 2 classic map Grind, scheduled for Season Two Reloaded, may offer additional competitive options based on its historical success in League Play.
