In Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Zombie solo players can finally pause and save their game to continue later, and the reactions to it are pretty strange.
Earlier this week, there was a huge information leak about Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s Zombies mode, revealing that it would return to the traditional “turn-based Zombies” format. For single players, Zombies mode will finally offer the ability to pause, save, and quit their game to pick up where they left off whenever they want – a first for the series.

This has garnered some, erm, rather odd reactions from Call of Duty players. If you want to leave your eyes as scarred as the guy’s kitchen, you need look no further than what the hell is going on below.

“Treyarch is in their pocket on this game lol. I’ll be there,” reads another, far more normal Twitter reaction to the news. “HOLY SHIT??? THIS IS INSANE!!! I NEVER THOUGHT THIS WOULD EVER HAPPEN?” reads another rather excited, but still relatively normal, response.
The reason this news is so well received is because Zombies can easily eat up hours of your free time, and obviously not everyone has tons of free time. While you’d normally be stuck in a Zombies match for up to three hours (if you’re good at it), you can now just leave whenever you want. That’s a pretty big achievement for Black Ops 6.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 hasn’t even been released yet, but modders are already using a leaked build to give players Max Payne-like super-dive abilities.
