Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Review - A Dystopian Delight
In an era where "live service" games are dominating the scene, it's refreshing to see a new Call of Duty title arrive with all guns blazing. Black Ops 7 is the latest installment in the popular franchise, and while its annual release might seem old-fashioned, this game delivers on its promise of non-stop military mayhem.
Set in a dystopian 2035, where a powerful arms manufacturer known as the Guild claims to be the only solution to an apocalyptic new terrorist threat, Black Ops 7 is a paranoid and conspiracy-obsessed game that will appeal to fans of 70s thrillers like The Parallax View and The China Syndrome. The campaign mode is a wild ride, taking players through socio-political talking points such as psychopathic corporations, hybrid warfare, robotics, and tech oligarchies.
The campaign's over-the-top action sequences are made even more enjoyable by the introduction of advanced weaponry, cool gadgets, and plenty of banter between teammates. While it may not be everyone's cup of tea, especially those who prefer a more realistic gaming experience, the chaotic and relentless gameplay is undeniably stupidly pleasurable.
One of the standout features of Black Ops 7 is its co-op multiplayer mode. The traditional Call of Duty experience has been updated with fresh modes, guns, and gadgets, making for an exciting online experience that's perfect for fans of the series. A new wall-jumping ability adds a thrilling layer to map design, allowing players to find new routes around complex architecture.
For those who enjoy Zombies mode, Black Ops 7 delivers once again with a round-based structure and plenty of new features, including the ability to drive trucks while blasting zombies off the bonnet. This makes for a truly unique gaming experience that's sure to appeal to fans of this popular co-op mode.
In addition to the usual Call of Duty fare, there's Dead Ops Arcade 4 - a self-contained top-down twin-stick shooter that's been hidden within the main game since its original release in Black Ops III. This classic-style shooter is perfect for old-school gamers and newcomers alike, offering a fun experience with mini-games that showcase other genres such as racing and scrolling shooters.
With the addition of battle royale mode Warzone, Call of Duty fans are treated to an exhaustive package that caters to all tastes. Whether you're blasting robots in corporate labs or playing Super Sprint -style racing games, Black Ops 7 delivers on its promise of thrilling entertainment.
If you're a fan of the series or simply looking for a game that knows how to put on a show, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is well worth checking out. With its maximalist approach to video game design, it's clear that Activision has not held back when it comes to delivering an unforgettable gaming experience.
Pricing starts at £69.99, and with all the content included, this might just be the best value proposition in recent Call of Duty history.

I mean, who doesn't love a good dystopian thrill ride, right? The campaign is like something out of a paranoid thriller film, all conspiracy-theories and high-octane action. And the co-op multiplayer mode is absolute madness - I've had some epic gaming sessions with my mates playing together 
.
It's like they took all the best bits of the series and mashed them together into one epic game. And don't even get me started on Dead Ops Arcade 4, it's like a retro gaming dream come true 
.
. Overall, I'd say Black Ops 7 is a must-play for fans of the series or anyone who loves a good gaming challenge 
. I mean, I get it, more Call of Duty means more fun for some people, but honestly, can't we have a break from the annual release cycle already? It's like they're trying to make up for lost time with all these new modes and features 
. And don't even get me started on how bloated the game is - 69.99 quid feels like a lot to ask for, especially when you consider the cost of living situation right now 
and I love the little Easter eggs they snuck in there. The co-op multiplayer is also a lot of fun, but can we please just get rid of some of these microtransactions already? 
It's like they're trying to nickel and dime us out of our hard-earned cash.
. Warzone is just more of the same old battle royale nonsense, but I guess if you're into that sorta thing... 
so i was thinking about how crazy the storyline is in black ops 7 
and zombies mode is still going strong, i loved driving trucks while killing zombies 
what's even better is that they included dead ops arcade 4, it's like a mini-game hidden in there 
but my only concern is that some people might find the game too over-the-top or crazy 
maybe they'll just get lost in all the action
