Black Ops 7 Campaign Draws Sharp Launch-Day Backlash Over Co-Op Focus and Solo Limits

Early reviews describe a rushed story with a solo experience missing basic conveniences.

Overview

  • Critics and players say the campaign feels messy and hastily assembled, with some reviews recommending skipping it for single-player.
  • The story mode supports up to four-player co-op but offers no adjustable difficulty for solo play and no AI teammates.
  • Players report the campaign requires an online connection and cannot be paused even when played alone.
  • Reviewers note heavy reuse of the Avalon map for more than half the missions, with the remainder presented as separate flashback-style levels.
  • Gunplay earned praise alongside a surprise full third-person option, while earlier community backlash prompted Treyarch to reverse plans like beta SBMM and skin transfers.
