Call of Duty Black Ops 7 Released, Controversy Already Unfolds

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Faces Backlash Over Campaign & Always-Online Requirements

'Call of Duty: Black Ops 7' Faces Backlash Over Campaign Design Players are criticizing Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 just hours after its release, targeting Activision over a campaign sequence featuring a physically implausible character. Some are already arguing that Black Ops 7 makes last year's Modern Warfare 3 appear favorable by comparison. Concerns also extend to Activision's campaign design choices and technical implementation. The game requires a constant internet connection, even for solo play. This always-online requirement is compounded by the lack of checkpoints. Players who lose their connection are forced to restart entire levels. Moreover, the game boots players back to the main menu after only a few minutes of inactivity. While the always-online requirement has sparked player apprehension, it may enable new endgame experiences and cooperative gameplay options. Despite the initial controversy, Black Ops 7 is still projected to be one of the best-selling titles of the year, reaffirming the franchise's consistent sales success.
