 What you need to know 

  • Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has revealed a new multiplayer feature that allows you to use your enemy as a human shield, while automatically enabling proximity chat between you and your victim.
  • Treyarch Studios tweeted the feature reveal with a “Be nice…” caption.
  • Fan reception has been mixed, with fears this will encourage toxicity in the game and concerns over it’s interaction with the AI-powered voice chat moderation.

As someone who has spent countless hours immersed in the Call of Duty universe, I find myself both intrigued and apprehensive about the new Body Shield feature in Black Ops 6. On one hand, the potential for creative banter and strategic gameplay is undeniably enticing. The idea of engaging in a virtual cat-and-mouse game of wits while simultaneously trading quips with an unwilling ally or adversary is certainly tantalizing.


The upcoming event for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has disclosed some intriguing details, with the game set to launch on Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass on October 25th. However, one specific feature has been causing quite a buzz – the Body Shield. As you can grab an enemy player in the game and use them as a shield against incoming fire, this isn’t entirely new. What sets it apart is the addition of proximity voice chat between you and your enemies. So not only do you have the upper hand with an enemy in a vulnerable position, but now you can taunt them directly through their ear! A friendly reminder about your car’s extended warranty will take on a whole new meaning.

Response from fans has been mixed

Fans are expressing skepticism about Treyarch Studios’ request to “Be nice…” as they are well aware of how the new Activision AI-assisted voice chat moderation will be utilized. It seems that many players may find themselves in hot water due to this feature, but I can imagine some hilarious memes and viral incidents when the community starts experimenting with it, especially when they team up with a human “shield buddy”.

I’ve already come up with some ideas for what you can say to your new hostage:

  • “Hows the wife? The kids doing well? Where did you Summer?”
  • “That’s not a gun in my pocket.”
  • “Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down.”
  • “What scent is that? Dior Savauge?”
  • “Any last words?”
  • “Hey I just met you, and this is crazy. But here’s my number, so call me maybe?”
  • “Curse you, Bayle! I hereby vow! You will rue this day!”
  • “Bro I’m telling you, a Gemini cannot data a Scorpio bro, they’re incompatible when Venus aligns with Saturn bro, it emits a toxic aura bro.”

The key idea is that this feature could bring a lot of enjoyment, but considering the behavior of the community, it may not materialize as expected. However, its inclusion is still worthwhile for those eager to use it. Fingers crossed that the moderation tools work effectively.

Now is the time to reserve your spot for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6! You can choose between the Standard, Cross-gen, or Vault editions. If you’re an Xbox Game Pass subscriber, you’ll get the Cross-gen edition on launch day, and you’ll even have the opportunity to upgrade to the Vault edition at a reduced cost. Pre-ordering the game will grant you immediate access to the Woods operator bundle for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Call of Duty: Warzone, and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 once it’s released.
