However, it would not be aCall of Dutyrelease if the multiplayer side of things did not quickly descend into chaos.
This week’s drama affected some of the most prized possessionsCall of Dutyveterans have in their collections, through many convoluted decisions and spaghetti code.
First Season, First Heartbreak
Season 1ofCall of Duty: Black Ops 6hit the servers on November 14, and it arrived with great momentum.
The game had just gotten a balancing patch that made different weapon types more viable, Infected mode was back, and most importantly, the boys were back in town. Well, in theNuketownmap, to be precise.
Excitement for the debut season turned into joy when veteran players saw thatTreyarch had brought back XP tokensdating as far back asModern Warfare 2.

The surprise return brought on a wave of nostalgia, but things got sour pretty quickly whenTreyarch broke heartsworldwide by removing XP tokens from previous games on the next patch.
According to the developer,the old tokens were included accidentally through a UI bug, and they never meant to bring them back.
Although this is a responsible approach to game development, the company’s appeal fell on deaf ears.
Players were understandably angry to have their labor of love snatched from their hands just as soon as they had been reunited, and they made that sentiment very clear.
Today, Treyarch decided to set things right. In the publishedpatch notes, the very top entry reads:
Legacy XP Tokens
Updated Black Ops 6 to support legacy XP token functionality
The legacy XP tokens are here to stay, but in terms that Treyarch is comfortable with, where they do not risk causing crashes or bugs further down the line.
Besidescalming the heartsof token hoarders worldwide, the change is another example of what makesBlack Ops 6so popular next to other recent titles.
Treyarch has been doing a good job of tracking and implementing player feedbackwhenever possible, which is not always a given for a AAA team.
