Call of Duty Next recently showcased live footage from the upcoming release of Black Ops 7, set to hit shelves on November 14. The game is already generating excitement with an early access beta scheduled from October 2 to 5. If you’re a fan of fast-paced, competitive shooters with a futuristic twist, this latest installment in the long-standing series might just be up your alley. So, let’s dive into what caught the eye during CODNext.
Multiplayer in Black Ops 7 appears to be both tactile and fast, drawing in players who appreciate quick reflexes and gravity-defying tactics. While some may argue that all Call of Duty games look the same, those who enjoy the fast-paced action of Black Ops 2 will likely find a spiritual successor in the seventh installment. Set in the near future, the game builds on the advanced movement techniques introduced in Black Ops 6, incorporating wall-jumping, sliding, and tactical stance seamlessly into gameplay.
The game boasts 18 maps, primarily focusing on 6v6 battles, with a total of 16 new designs and three remakes from Black Ops 6. During the beta period, players will have access to six of these maps, all designed for smaller-scale 6v6 matches. The map design in Black Ops 7 revolves around standard three-lane construction, allowing for strategic movement and gameplay. Additionally, players can customize their loadouts by “overclocking” lethal, tactical, field upgrades, and score streaks, enhancing their abilities on the battlefield. Furthermore, the option to share weapon builds with a simple code adds a new level of customization and strategy to the game.
Season one of Black Ops 7 promises to be the biggest yet, with seven additional multiplayer maps planned for release throughout the season. Ranked play is set to debut in season two, adding a competitive edge to the gameplay experience. Fans of the franchise can also look forward to the return of the beloved map Nuketown, adding a nostalgic touch to the game. Overall, Call of Duty Next offers a solid option for gamers who enjoy fast-paced, competitive shooters with a futuristic twist. Get ready to jump into the action when Black Ops 7 launches on November 14.
