Black Ops 7 is Activision and Treyarch’s long-anticipated sequel to Black Ops 2, but initial reactions to the game have been far from positive. Between dislikes on the YouTube trailer and comparisons with Battlefield 6, this entry seems to be the most divisive Call of Duty since Infinite Warfare.
The recent cartoon skins in Call of Duty have also become a key point of discussion lately, and the developers have finally responded. According to Treyarch, Black Ops 7 is now aiming for an authentic feel.
Why it matters: Fans have been upset with the direction of the series for a while, so this change has been received well by dedicated Call of Duty fans.
The latest Black Ops 7 update comes from the Call of Duty blog. Although Treyarch previously confirmed that it would allow fans to carry over Black Ops 6 skins to Black Ops 7, this will no longer be the case.
The team says that this decision was made to keep Black Ops 7 authentic and true to its settings. This decision seems to be a direct response to the criticism of over-the-top cosmetics, such as Beavis and Butthead, in Black Ops 6.
Since Treyarch is still carrying over content like GobbleGums, the team likely intends to avoid cartoony skins in general for Black Ops 7. In a way, the team has made its stance clear, and this should be reflected in the post-launch cosmetics for the game.
Black Ops 7 needs to feel authentic to Call of Duty and its setting.
Unfortunately, this decision is likely to upset fans who spent money on microtransactions in last year’s Call of Duty release. The blog states that players will still retain these cosmetics for use in Warzone, but not everyone is taking well to this information.
It will also be interesting to see whether Treyarch and Activision stay true to their word till the end of Black Ops 7’s lifespan. In the past, Call of Duty has been known to contradict its statements a few months down the line, so some fans are concerned about history repeating itself.
What do you think about Activision and Treyarch’s decision? Let’s discuss in the comments and on the Tech4Gamers Forums.
