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

It feels like only yesterday I was sitting down to write about the Terminus cinematic, yet here we are. The name of Black Ops 7 Zombies’ Tranzit-inspired launch map is Ashes of the Damned, and I have a lot of thoughts. Right out of the gate, I’m relieved the name…

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…

The Call of Duty Movie Was Inevitable

I mean, I guess… Activision will partner with Paramount to bring Call of Duty to the silver screen, with the option for further projects down the line if successful. Activision President Rob Kostich stated, “Our shared goal is quite simple — to create an unforgettable blockbuster movie experience that our…

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…

Nostalgia is a Weapon (Black Ops 7 Preview)

We’re only a few days removed from the Black Ops 7 reveal. Sick of the discourse yet? I sure am! I’ve been dodging the rage bait and bad-faith takes, but it’s no secret that many Call of Duty players are genuinely burnt out on the series. If you’re one of…

Reckoning with [REDACTED] – Black Ops 6 Zombies Ending Thoughts

One final reminder: spoilers ahead. In October 2024, I said, “I’ll worry about the next book when we finish the one we’re on”. I’ve held off writing about the potential return of Richtofen, Dempsey, Takeo and Nikolai until now. I don’t particularly enjoy seeing things leak, but it’s the reality…

Battlefield 6 Won’t Kill Call of Duty. It Doesn’t Need To.

The reveal of Battlefield 6 has set the heather alight. For the first time in a long time, there’s excitement surrounding a AAA first-person shooter that isn’t Call of Duty. Change seems to be in the air, but is it all bluster? I’ve never been much of a Battlefield…

Black Ops 6 Zombies: Reckoning Preview – Towering Ends

The end is nigh. Black Ops 6’s final Zombies map, Reckoning, is on the way, and if I’m being honest, I’m excited! The teasers from the past week far exceed those for previous maps like Citadelle Des Morts, The Tomb, or Shattered Veil. They’re more reminiscent of the Terminus ones…
