Fans were thrilled by the news of the return of round-based Zombies inBlack Ops 6earlier this year, a feature that had been missing from recent installments. As with any launch, however, come glitches, bugs, and other bumps, with one player being forced out of a Zombies match while attempting to solve an Easter Egg.
Reddit user DiegoMm shared a clip of a recent Zombies match in which they were kicked from the game due to “inactivity.” While this is a common feature for most online games, the clip is specifically interesting and concerning because the player never really stopped controlling the game at all.

While paused, the player can still be seen moving the cursor around, though this was apparently not enough activity, with the match ending a few seconds later.
