A Boundless Excitement for Battlefield 6 Loomed Large Over Call of Duty's Deflating Black Ops 7 Reveal
The reveal of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 feels underwhelming compared to the excitement surrounding Battlefield 6. The campaign trailer resembled a $12 sandwich—familiar but unappetizing. While some new features like walljumping attempt to innovate, they largely fall flat. - Activision's marketing seems desperate to differentiate from the previous title. - Cynicism among fans reflects a growing dissatisfaction with the franchise's annual releases. In contrast, Battlefield 6 has garnered positive buzz with its engaging gameplay and successful beta. The stark difference in community reception is evident: 37k likes vs. 169k dislikes for the Black Ops trailer. As the extended multiplayer reveal approaches, the urgency for Call of Duty to impress has never been greater.
