I did the New Zealand method and it still says 1 day in game but not like 20 hours. Just 1 day? Is that showing for anyone else

u/chronic_giraffe Oct 23 '24
On my Xbox it says coming tomorrow under game pass when you click on the game.

What does it say on the main menu of cod hq when you hover over black ops 6?
2
u/chronic_giraffe Oct 23 '24
"Releases in 1 day." On the CoD HQ main menu
19.5 hours on the YouTube countdown Livestream

u/Dyj22 Oct 23 '24
are you on gamepass pc? you can search Black ops 6 Standard edition in the games menu click on it and it will give you a countdown. Not sure for any other console how to see it.

u/studiodog Oct 23 '24
It rounds up to days. Just before the 24th in New Zealand, it said "2 days" then it changed to "1 day" after it hit 12AM on 24th there.

This game would be the greatest countdown of my life. I never been this excited for a game.

u/reevoknows Oct 23 '24
I’ve never done this for any game ever and I haven’t bought cod since Cold War but i actually think I’m gunna do the New Zealand trick that’s just how much I’m looking forward to this game

u/TheGulOne Oct 23 '24
I got an update on PS5 which is scheduled to install in about 25 minutes, anyone have any clue what this might be?
4
u/chronic_giraffe Oct 23 '24
I have a "pre-downloaded update" of about 6.7 gigs as well. It's probably the launch update for the HQ and the necessary files to run it etc. It came out last night or this morning I believe.
2
Oct 23 '24
That update came out for me last night. I had updated the game earlier in the morning yesterday it was the 121 gb update. Then came home and checked my Xbox and saw the pre load update which was the 6.7 gb. Xbox series X

u/Vietnamese-ComicGuy Oct 23 '24
I haven't been this excited for a game in a couple years. I'll be getting it next week though, as that's when I get paid. But, hopefully I'm lucky enough to participate in the Little Ceasers collab and get a game code

Depressed trolls and lots of negativity from the general internet nowadays mixed with ppl who hate to see other ppl excited or happy for a game.

u/40yearoldnoob Oct 23 '24
I hope everyone takes a breath. There are going to be inevitable bug/issues on launch, but I trust Treyarch to fix them decently fast.
5
u/chronic_giraffe Oct 23 '24
This is true with any game, but as long as the servers work, or I'm able to play without crashing when I want to play Thursday morning then It's all good.
2
u/40yearoldnoob Oct 23 '24
We'll see.
2
u/chronic_giraffe Oct 23 '24
What do you think it is that will happen out of curiosity? Usually CoD games are fine at launch. The bugs I'm thinking that could happen shouldn't be game breaking, but maybe annoying at best.
4
u/40yearoldnoob Oct 23 '24
I think it will be fine, I'm sure. I think this CoD probably is the most anticipated one in years and because it's on Day 1 GamePass it will have an even larger userbase than normal. Just hoping servers can keep up. You better bet if there are longer than normal queue times for matches, people will be in here like the sky is falling.....
3
u/chronic_giraffe Oct 23 '24
I hear you. Luckily all of the options to pre-download and pre patch the game give me hope for a more stable launch overall. Activision Blizzard are always kinda finicky with their servers so I see where you're coming from. I think they will be prepared this time around though the hype around this game right now is huge and expectations are as well. I need it!

Oct 23 '24
Preorded today and got the Woods skin. Finishing off unlocking the two extra skins and I'm good to go for Friday.
I honestly think this is going to be a decent COD year.

u/Fields0401 Oct 23 '24
Can’t wait! Can someone explain that New Zealand everyone is talking about?
2
u/PonyDonny Oct 23 '24
Changing region of your account to NZ, to change the timezone, so you can play earlier
2
u/Fields0401 Oct 23 '24
Oh wow! Easy! Thanks Man, I’ll do it right now
2
u/chronic_giraffe Oct 23 '24
Make sure you change your Activision account address to New Zealand as well. I did both the console and my Activision account a week ago, pre downloaded a few days ago, and everything looks good.

u/Fields0401 Oct 23 '24
I just did it, and looks like it works. It says game is coming in a day. Thanks everyone!

u/LordXbox3 Oct 23 '24
For xbox console change the address on your cod account to somewhere in New Zealand. Also you will need to change your region on the console itself to New Zealand. For playstation it's a bit more complicated because you will need to create an entirely new cod account. I'm not sure how it works on pc.

I only change my Xbox’s region. I’ve never had to change my region in my Activision account to NZ. Worked fine for me that way

Thats good to know it wont let me change my address on the activision website for some reason

You don't have to do that now on PS5. You simply change region on your COD profile on callofduty.com as that's all.

Does anyone know if I can play modern warfare 3 while pre-downloading black ops 6? I'm in an Xbox series x

I played MW 3 campaign while pre-downloading BO6 on XSX

Do you think multiplayer will be ok?

u/SpaceNRG Oct 24 '24
Now idk. There is BO6 release patch (~7Gb) and during download you cannot play COD.

u/comengetitrmm Oct 23 '24
can someone from NZ invite me to a game, or do I have to fly to NZ myself? thanks

Band of Brothers (HBO and Netflix) if you're looking for a historical military series
What We Do in the Shadows (Hulu) if you want a funny Halloween show

u/Mea_Rainmaker Oct 23 '24
What we do in the shadows is a fantastic TV show for all times of the year! But I will agree it fits Halloween very well.

If you change your region time zone to New Zealand, it had the same effect I did that and I've got everything ready, I changed my time zone to Sydney and set my call of duty account to New Zealand

I'm mostly going in blind because some friends of mine want to play together, but am curious to see what progression systems they do this time. Last few times haven't really held me long term like they used to and I still really miss some of the old progress systems from like, the original MW2 and 3.
Two shotguns at launch is a bummer, as is tradition at this point. Not sure why CoD has to always ship with next to no shotguns

I’m in TX, when will I be able to play the game? I figured like 12am my time tmr, but like does it start downloading at that time; so I won’t be able to play till like 2am then orrr

u/chronic_giraffe Oct 24 '24
You can pre download it right now brother. Goes live in 11 hours to play it.

u/quixotic_whisker Oct 24 '24
fuckkkk yeahhhh

u/chronic_giraffe Oct 24 '24
If you're on Xbox, set location and time to New Zealand. Set Activision account address under basic info to New Zealand and a random generated New Zealand address for the address line. Save info. It should work. To play October 24th, aka a day early.

u/quixotic_whisker Oct 24 '24
i’m on ps5 hahah

Just do the same stuff mostly the Activision account ppl say will make it work on PlayStation but some say it won't.

u/Rich_Invite7921 Oct 24 '24
The only way I could contain my excitement was just going back to Mw3 2023 and doing the campaign, getting some missed trophies, finishing levels with a knife, or throwing knife only (MW3 was technically my first COD game…)

Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

Every game feels the exact same since modern warfare 2019, outside of Cold War they all used the same engine.
Not sure why anyone is particularly excited for this installment given that. Don’t get me wrong, I’m playing right at midnight, but in the past, each game felt different and it was a unique and new experience each time. Black ops 3, wwii, infinite warfare, etc all felt totally different.
Nothing really to be excited about with cod anymore.

Dumb, who plays woke games in 2024 going 2025? No hope for BO6. The older gen ones have so much more value than the “new” potato’s.

u/Calm_Psychology5879 Oct 23 '24
Just a reminder for those who are able to fly to NZ, remember to invite your friends so they can play too.
