Expanded size of Black Ops 7's campaign surprises players significantly
Get ready for an exhilarating adventure in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, the latest installment in the popular franchise. The game, available for pre-order on PS5 and Xbox Series X, is set to launch on November 14.
The Endgame mode, a major new feature unlocked after completing the main campaign, promises to be a game-changer. Unlike traditional linear campaign finales, Endgame transforms the city of Avalon into a large, fully explorable open-world arena. This mode supports from 4-player co-op up to 32 players working together, making it almost MMO-like in scale.
The Endgame Experience
Endgame is not just a single mission but a persistently accessible mode with continuous challenges aimed at testing all the skills, tactics, and abilities developed during the campaign. Players face unpredictable, increasingly difficult encounters, requiring teamwork, strategy, and smart adaptation.
In Endgame, players carry over their Operators' growth, with a Combat Rating system that increases stats and unlocks perks as you progress. This includes custom abilities like superhuman traversal and directional warping that alter combat dynamics. Loadouts and upgrades from the main campaign carry forward, but failure resets progress, forcing players to adapt and refine their approach.
Cross-Mode Progression
Importantly, progression achieved in the campaign and Endgame mode translates beyond the campaign itself, as weapons, camos, and XP earned carry over to Multiplayer and Zombies modes, tying the entire Black Ops 7 ecosystem together in a unified progression system.
The Campaign
The campaign of Black Ops 7 is the biggest and most evolved in years, featuring 4 player co-op across a globetrotting and mindbending story. The four playable characters include David Mason, Mike Harper, Eric Samuels, and a newcomer, Leilani Tuuola. The story concludes threads set up in Black Ops 2 and Black Ops 6, with Menendez returning as a character.
Multiplayer and Zombies
More details about multiplayer and round-based Zombies in Black Ops 7 will be revealed later on. The multiplayer will feature a new Skirmish mode with 20 vs. 20 battles, and a return of weapon prestige. Sharing weapon builds in the multiplayer is easier than ever, with the ability to send them directly to friends or share them online with a unique code. The multiplayer encourages fast movement.
Pre-order Benefits
Pre-ordering Black Ops 7 grants access to the beta, which runs from October 2 through October 8. The new Black Ops 7 trailer was unveiled at Gamescom Opening Night Live. The game will be available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
Endgame is an extraction-like scenario in Avalor with up to 31 players. Players can earn new skills, abilities, calling cards, weapon camo, and more in Endgame. The beta for those who preorder the game or are Game Pass subscribers.
In summary, Endgame is a groundbreaking evolution of the Call of Duty campaign finale, combining large-scale co-op PvE with persistent, RPG-like progression and cross-mode rewards, all set in an open-world version of the campaign’s central city, Avalon. Don't miss out on this exciting new addition to the Black Ops series!
