Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 - Angry Review

Quick Overview

The reviewer delivers an extremely negative assessment of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, concluding it is hands down the worst Call of Duty campaign ever played, rating it a 3 out of 10 or possibly a 2 out of 10 due to its reliance on reused assets, nonsensical story, tedious bullet-sponge boss fights, and lack of basic features like difficulty settings.

Key Points: The reviewer declares Black Ops 7 the "worst Call of Duty campaign I HAVE EVER EVER PLAYED," citing terrible gameplay, story, and boss fights. The campaign story relies on the protagonist being sprayed with gas, causing hallucinations that justify "wacky dumb [stuff]" like fighting a big flower and a kaiju in Tokyo, which the reviewer dismisses as a "stupidest [plot] I have ever heard." The gameplay consists of endless waves of enemies and tedious bullet-sponge boss battles, including one where the main character fights a hologram with giant metaphorical machetes, feeling "more like serious Sam than [expletive] Call of Duty." The reviewer heavily criticizes the game for reusing assets, noting that campaign levels are poorly stitched together from "reused multiplayer maps," specifically identifying Hijacked and the metro leading into the city. A major frustration is the lack of basic options, as there is no difficulty slider in the campaign, leading the reviewer to call the default mode "baby journalist mode." The mandatory four-player co-op campaign is broken, with the reviewer being stuck on the connecting screen, and even when functional, lobbies fill with random players whose voices bleed into cutscenes, preventing pausing or basic interaction. The post-campaign endgame mode is described as an empty world filled with pointless grinding, featuring "shitty AI, shitty bullet sponges," making it even worse than the campaign itself.
