The latter has become a common complaint amongst the hardcore community, as it means you always have to be on your A game if you want to win multiplayer matches, rather than having a relaxing few games. The developer will be hoping this move sees Black Ops 7 mark a return to the glory days of Call of Duty, when high-level players would earn huge kill streaks around the Christmas season, as newcomers booted multiplayer up for the first time.
In addition, lobbies will remain persistent in Black Ops 7, instead of disbanding at the end of every match and making you matchmake into a new lobby again.
Releasing today, Battlefield 6 essentially has the floor to itself for a month. Black Ops 7 isn’t out on PS5, PS4 until 14th November 2025, so it’ll be interesting to see how the two compare once they’re freely available.
Are these the kinds of moves that’ll get you back playing Call of Duty? Let us know in the comments below.
