Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and the Canucks clash
Canuck fans (and probably more than a few Connor Bedard fans) and gamers were treated to a little treat last night when Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 took over Rogers Arena during the Vancouver Canucks' clash with the Chicago Blackhawks. In what can be described as a Black Ops 6 takeover, the activation brought the energy of the franchise to life, creating an inventive experience for all who attended. Big thanks to Xbox and Activision for including COGconnected in this great experience, especially for a Canadian who loves hockey.
Outside of Section 111, the activation of Black Ops 6 was the talk of the arena. Huge key art posters attracted fans eager to see the action. The Xbox stations were packed with people playing some of the multiplayer maps like Nuketown, while others were lining up to get exclusive Call of Duty items.
Black Ops 6's presence was not limited to a single area. Throughout the arena, trailers and advertisements played on digital screens, drawing the sold-out crowd into the intense, high-octane world of the game.
The jumbotron and LED rings lit up with Black Ops-themed images during breaks in the game. It was truly an impressive acquisition.
During the second intermission, an ice projection set the stage for the full game trailer, promoting 'Season One', which just started a couple of days ago.
But the surprises didn't end there. Parachute drops from the rafters caused game codes to rain down on lucky fans, drawing cheers from the crowd as they scrambled to grab their prizes.
The evening was a resounding success, as the Canucks defeated the Blackhawks 4-1. Connor Bedard was pretty invisible all night, but the Canucks looked strong in a solid win. Fans left Rogers Arena not only talking about Pettey and the Canucks, but also the acquisition of Black Ops 6.
If this is any indication of what's to come, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is set to dominate both stages and screens everywhere. Be sure to check out our Black Ops 6 review HERE and check out some of our favorite (and least favorite) multiplayer maps HERE.
