Overview
- Black Ops 7 is out now on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, including day-one access via Xbox Game Pass.
- Solo players report the campaign cannot be paused, uses AFK kick timers, lacks checkpoints, and requires a constant internet connection.
- The co-op–first design offers no AI squadmates and removes traditional difficulty settings, leaving solo runs repetitive and harder to manage.
- PC users cite launch problems such as stuttering, crashes on alt-tab, and floaty mouse input, and the game currently holds a Mixed rating on Steam.
- Early critic aggregation sits around 84 on Metacritic, even as community reaction trends negative and industry voices caution that Steam metrics reflect only a slice of Call of Duty’s wider player base.
