As anticipation builds for the upcoming release ofCall of Duty: Black Ops 6, fans are eagerly dissecting every little detail that emerges about the game’s features and improvements. However, one particular revelation has sparked a heated debate within the community, leaving some players frustrated and others indifferent.
Treyarch’s decision to remove a beloved feature has left many players scratching their heads and wondering if the developer has lost touch with its core audience.
Black Ops 6: A Streak of Controversy
The feature in question is the ability to loop scorestreaks within a single life. In many previousCall of Dutytitles (includingModern Warfare 3, since Season 4), skilled players who managed to earn all three of their selected scorestreaks could continue to rack up points and loop back to the first scorestreak, then the second, and so on, as long as they stayed alive.
However, in the upcomingBlack Ops 6, this may no longer be the case. Treyarch hasconfirmed that scorestreaks will not loop, and a player’s score will reset upon death.

This decision has caused a noticeable split in the community, with many dedicated players expressing frustration and disbelief:
The poster argues that removing looping scorestreaks punishes skilled players who boast the caliber to earn all three of their scorestreaks and then continue to dominate the match.
They suggest that scorestreaks should reset upon reaching the maximum, but only kills and objective play with the player’s own weapon should count towards the next set of streaks—an opinion that any sensibleCall of Dutyfan can certainly get behind!
Many players agree with this sentiment, feeling that the developers’ decision isa step backward for the franchise:
Others reason that if a player is skilled enough to call in a devastating scorestreak like a gunship twice in the same life, they more than deserve the reward:
However, some do not think twice before dismissing OP’s viewpoint completely:
It’s worth noting that u/Thanks_Nikita’s post specifically addresses the issue of looping killstreaks—not the resetting of streak progress upon death, which is a separate matter entirely.
Innocent Until Proven Guilty, Maybe?
While the debate rages on, some players are taking a more measured approach, preferring to reserve judgment until they can experience the changes firsthand in the futureBlack OpsMultiplayer mode.

As two such Redditors point out:
Withthe game’s beta set to kick off in the coming weeks, players will soon have the opportunity to test out the new scorestreak system and provide feedback to the developers.
Treyarchhas a history of listening to the community and making adjustments based on player feedback, so it remains to be seen whether the decision to remove looping killstreaks will stick or if changes will be made before the game’s official launch on July 29, 2025.
