Games like Black Ops 6: 5 shooters to play

There may be a new Call of Duty game every year, but that doesn’t make the wait any easier. Once the sheen has worn off and the game has gotten too sweaty, we all start looking to the horizon for a fresh start on even footing. Last year’s Modern Warfare 3 was a big letdown in almost every way so the community shrunk even faster than usual. Now that we know we’re getting Black Ops 6 this fall, however, interest is shooting back up. Except for Black Ops 4, this subseries has never missed. Part of what makes every Call of Duty game — including Black Ops — so special is how polished and refined the gameplay is at its core. Even those who don’t particularly enjoy Call of Duty still recognize that it is one of the best-feeling shooters year after year.
