It seems that all changes in Call of Duty with the release of Black Ops 7, among the pressure of Battlefield 6 and his involvement in “rough realism”.
The Call of Duty expedition in a stupid scale territory is not a recent phenomenon, although the last editions certainly strengthened the conversation around them. With such as Beavis and Butt-Head and American Dad this year soon after Obsessed weed beams with the participation of Seth RogenSome fans said that they had enough of what they call “Fortnite-Ififits” by their beloved Call of Duty, and begged Activision publishers to return to their Mil-Sim roots.
Go to Battlefield 6, the EA game is thrown as aesthetics of “rough realism”. The developer Dice pointed out that there are no plans to release crossover skins that would break the aesthetic Battlefield 6, and promised that developers listen to fans’ opinions.
In a recent interview for DBLTAPProject Director of Battlefield 6 Shashank Uchil doubled with EA’s involvement in grounded realism, and even indicated The inexpressable skin of Nicki Minaj Call of Duty As something that Battlefield 6 doesn’t need.
“He must be grounded,” he said. “Such was BF3 and BF4 – they are all soldiers on earth. It will be like that,” said Uchail, pointing to the key play with the participation of soldiers in the equipment of the soldier, looking at the Wartorn New York City.
He added: “I don’t think he needs Nicki Minaj. Let’s keep it real, keep it ground.”
With Battlefield 6 set up for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 this year, Activision has now released Community update This indicates that it is ready to introduce significant changes in the types of packages that it releases for the game.
But maybe there is even more significant news here: Activision confirmed that operators, operators’ skins and weapons from Black Ops 6 will no longer lead to Black Ops 7.
This is a great surprise for players who expected the content they bought for the Black Ops 6 to achieve ahead, as it did with previous entries, and taking into account Black Ops 7 directly takes place last year Black Ops 6. Explaining the decision, Activision said that Black Ops 7 “must feel authentic to cause the duty and setting it.”
“That is why the Black Ops 6 operator and the content of the weapon will not move to Black Ops 7. Double tokens and gobblegums will continue to continue, because we recognize that your time and progress are important.”
(This change applies only to Black Ops 7. Call of Duty: This is not influenced by brew, and all your content of Black Ops 6 remains useful there).
How will this affect Black Ops 7? This means that at least during the premiere you will not see all these stupid skins running around a multiplayer game. It seems that the multiplayer will look like a black OPS 7, at least at the beginning of things.
Where will Activision come from? His social post suggests that he is ready to subtract the stupidity of the entire Black Ops 7 life cycle, although it is worth pointing out that we have no details here.
“We know that recently a lot has talked about the identity of Call of Duty,” said Activision. “Some of you said that we drifted out of what made Call of Duty unique: addictive, intense, visceral and grounded in many ways. This reviews go home and we take it seriously. We hear you.
“During the development of Treyarch and North Star, it was the delivery of the spiritual successor of Black Ops 2 while taking huge swings. You will see it in the Multi -Person Mode Black Ops 7, Zombie, Cooperative Campaign (including the end game), and even Dead OPS Arcade 4.
“Over the years, we had various games and experiences, which fans enjoyed from the Modern Warfare series to the Black Ops series and not only. Today we wanted to share with you some ways in which we are approaching things with Black Ops 7.”
Activision continued to say that Black Ops 7 packages and items “will be created to match the identity of Black Ops.” “We hear opinions” – added a mega publisher. “We must provide a better balance towards an engaging, basic experience of Call of Duty.”
If Activision really leaves stupid skin, it leaves a lot of money on the table. The company would not spend a teenage mutant Ninja Turtle and Nicki Minaj Skino if they did not earn a lot of money. Perhaps, along with the release of Battlefield 6, Activision felt that he had reached a turning point and must take drastic actions to answer.
In any case, the reaction is a mix of shock, excitement and frustration. There is a shock that Activision actually canceled the transfer of Black Ops 7, thrilling return to the roots of call of duty, but for some frustration that time and in many cases money spent on earning cosmetic items in recent months die with Black Ops 6.
There is also skepticism on the part of some in the Call of Duty community, which suspects that Activision can maintain the line of the first few months Black Ops 7, but ultimately retreat to the stupid territory of the skin.
Activision has completed its community update, promising more information about all aspects of Black Ops 7 soon. Battlefield 6 leaves October 10, and Black Ops 7 after November. It will be really engaging to see how it all shakes.
We have many more Black Ops 7 reports, which come out of Gamescom 2025, including Treyarch, who reject “lazy” accusations and the threat of Battlefield 6.
