You will have a big window of opportunity to tweak your HUD (Heads-Up Display). The developers will implement this, marking the first time such significant customization options have been included in the Call of Duty franchise. The HUD consists of various elements that overlay the player's view of the game. An optimal HUD is essential for players to experience the title without obstructing their view. With Black Ops 6, you will have the option to customize the HUD elements to your liking fully.

For instance, the minimap, first introduced in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare has been a feature in every Call of Duty game ever since. Previously, the minimap had a fixed position in the top left corner of the screen. However, in Black Ops 6, you can position it wherever you like and adjust its size to suit your preference. Similarly, all other elements, such as the ammo count and equipment, can be resized and repositioned based on your preference.

This will optimize how your view is displayed on the screen with minimal distractions. However, players are accustomed to the traditional HUD layout, where the minimap is typically located in the top left corner. While this has become a reflex for many experienced players, trying out different positions for the minimap can be a worthwhile experiment. A small change like this can make a significant difference in how the game is perceived and experienced.

The optimization efforts in Black Ops 6 aren't limited to HUD alone; developers are trying their best to optimize every aspect of the game. The blog mentions that this extends to the lobby experience which will provide easier and faster access. This streamlining also carries over between matches, ensuring a shorter transition time from entering the lobby to starting a match.
