The Unique Relationship Between Call of Duty and Cannabis Culture
Call of Duty has built a unique relationship with cannabis culture over the years. With features like guns that double as bongs and collaborations with icons such as Snoop Dogg and Cheech and Chong, the franchise has embraced novelty in its gameplay. The upcoming mid-season additions to Black Ops 6, especially the ‘Blaze of Glory’ event, continue this trend with even more humorous and engaging elements.
What to Expect from the Blaze of Glory Event
The ‘Blaze of Glory’ event is set to introduce several exciting features, including a variant of the beloved Nuketown map, dubbed ‘Blazetown.’ This new environment is sure to lean heavily into the cannabis humor that the event embodies. Additionally, players can look forward to ‘Joint Operations,’ a limited-time game mode that presents a gamified twist on classic modes like Team Deathmatch and Domination, renamed to ‘Hotbox’ and ‘Munchies,’ among others. These clever wordplays are a nod to the playful theme of the event.
New Features and Operators Coming to Black Ops 6
Alongside the lighthearted gameplay, players can expect perception-altering effects while participating in Joint Operations, including double health, visual hallucinations, and a third-person perspective—elements that humorously mirror the effects of cannabis. Additionally, icons Jay and Silent Bob from Kevin Smith’s ‘Clerks’ will be introduced as new operators, transforming into their stoner personas, Bluntman and Chronic.
Though heavily themed around cannabis, the event won’t exclude other gameplay enhancements. A new submachine gun, the Ladra, and additional perks will be introduced, adding depth to the player experience.
Overall, the ‘Blaze of Glory’ event encapsulates the growing trend of wacky crossovers and zaniness in gaming, reminiscent of the direction games like Fortnite have taken. Whether you embrace this new facet of Call of Duty or prefer traditional themes, one thing is certain: Black Ops 6 continues to push boundaries in both gameplay and culture.
