The first reviews for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 are in, and the buzz is real. On Metacritic, the game currently sits at an 84, just edging out Battlefield 6 (83) and claiming the second-highest spot in the Black Ops series rankings. Only the original Black Ops holds a higher score at 87, leaving Black Ops 7 just three points shy of the top. Most other entries typically land in the 81–83 range, with Black Ops Cold War sitting at the lower end of the spectrum with 76. Keep in mind, though, these numbers come from just nine early reviews. Many major outlets haven’t dropped their verdicts yet, so expect the score to evolve as more critiques roll in over the next few weeks.
Once again, development was a joint effort between Treyarch and Raven Software. Treyarch took the reins on the multiplayer modes and the fan-favorite Zombies, while Raven focused on the single-player campaign and continues to support Warzone. With a massive, action-packed campaign, a blockbuster multiplayer launch, and the return of chaotic zombie battles, Black Ops 7 is already making waves. Players are diving in across all major platforms, and the community is buzzing — from high-stakes competitive matches to cooperative missions, the conversation online is only getting louder.
