Breaking Down the BO7 Zombies Dev Talk
We’re about a month out from Black Ops 7 and, to quote The Shadowman, “questions remain”. Questions are good, especially for a mode like Zombies, but there are a few things we were hoping Treyarch would clear up before launch. Enter the Zombies Dev Talk video, a six-minute Q&A session with…
Black Ops 7 Zombies Beta: First Impressions and Feedback
The Black Ops 7 Zombies beta is live! Time for some feedback and impressions. I’ve tried to combine the two in a way that isn’t a slog to read. I hope I don’t bore any developers who stumble upon this. As expected, Black Ops 7 Zombies gameplay feels like a…
Black Ops 7 Is Exciting. Call of Duty NEXT Is Not.
It’s Call of Duty NEXT time again, which means the release of this year’s Call of Duty is fast approaching. I’m still not a fan of the COD NEXT format. There’s some great insight from developers, but it’s constantly overshadowed by repetitive advertisements (I do not want to eat photoshopped…
Black Ops 7 Zombies Reveal: Blessings and Curses
Wow. I thought I had realistic expectations heading into the Black Ops 7 Zombies reveal, but calling it an information blowout would be an understatement! A ripper of a gameplay trailer, followed by a blog post exceeding 20,000 words had the Zombies community glued to their screens. That’s not even…
Analysing the “Ashes of the Damned” Cinematic Trailer

T.E.D.D. Is Dead. Long Live T.E.D.D.
Ladies and Gentlemen, we won. The Black Ops 7 T.E.D.D. operator’s reign of terror is over. He has been caught and compromised to a permanent end. Thrown in the dustbin of history; snuffed out before launch; never to return.* I jest a little, but I am glad—and surprised—that the change…
Black Ops 7: Too Much To Carry
Well, that’s a shocker! Call of Duty has cancelled Carry Forward between Black Ops 6 and Black Ops 7. Operators and weapons will no longer make the jump to Black Ops 7 when Season 1 launches later this year. It’s a surprise, to be sure. While the outcry about ridiculous…
Black Ops 7 Reveal: Zombies First Impressions
Sitting down to collect my thoughts after the Black Ops 7 reveal, I think what I find most surprising is that the game offers such a meaty package. Between the campaign and its endgame, 16 Multiplayer maps, a Tranzit-sized Zombies experience with Survival maps, and Dead Ops Arcade 4, there’s…
