That's it. The game will start looking for matches and as soon players are found for a game, you will be assigned a lobby. Once the map/mode votes are in, the match will commence, and you will be able to experience all the new Season 3 content in this playlist from the third-person perspective.

Do note that these matches will consist of 12 players (6v6). Hence, if you were expecting to play 2v2 matches as featured in Gunfight, you are unfortunately out of luck for this one.

Nevertheless, the third-person mode adds a new flair to the game, allowing players to check out all the new content from a different perspective. Moreover, with the camera perspective changed, it opens up new tactics and strategies to take advantage of.

While this isn't something completely game-changing, it does add variety that is certain to keep things fresh even on the maps and modes that players have grown used to.

That covers everything that you need to know about the return of the third-person mode in BO6 Multiplayer.
