Activision announced that Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will not allow transfer of operators, weapons, or skins from Black Ops 6. The Carry Forward feature will not move Black Ops 6 content into Black Ops 7, although previous content will continue to carry forward to Call of Duty: Warzone. Activision acknowledged online feedback that Call of Duty had drifted from its immersive, intense, visceral, and grounded roots. Treyarch and Raven aimed to create a spiritual successor to Black Ops 2 while taking big swings. The decision follows Battlefield 6's reveal, where developers emphasized more grounded cosmetics and contrasted approaches to in-game skins.
In an unexpected statement today, Activision made a dramatic announcement that Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will no longer allow players to transfer any Black Ops 6 characters, weapons, or skins to Black Ops 7. Many are taking this as a sign that Activision doesn't want Black Ops 7 to be overrun with the wacky skins that Call of Duty has become known for against a backdrop where competitor Battlefield 6 will only include "grounded" cosmetics.
In a blog post, Activision said it is aware of the "conversation" happening online about "the identity of Call of Duty" and the perception from some that it's "drifted" away from its identity. "Some of you have said we've drifted from what made Call of Duty unique in the first place: immersive, intense, visceral and in many ways grounded. That feedback hits home, and we take it seriously. We hear you," the company said.
