"The Black Ops 7 post, shared at the end of the 3-day launch period, is far more vague with its celebrations. "Across opening weekend, we've seen a great response to the quality and depth of gameplay in Black Ops 7," the post reads, alongside thanking players and developers, and promising "this is only the start," with new content lined up soon."
"The latest Call of Duty title has come under fire for its alleged use of generative AI, with some fans speculating that the distinctive Ghibli-style art for certain Calling Cards had been AI generated. The debate has even seen US Congressman Ro Khanna use the game as justification to call for greater regulations around the use of generative AI. While Black Ops 7's multiplayer has generally been well-received, the co-op campaign has mostly been met with criticism."
"Last year's Black Ops 6 was named "the biggest Call of Duty 3-day opening weekend ever," breaking franchise records for numbers of total players, hours played, and total matches across the launch period. Black Ops 7 had big shoes to fill after the success of Black Ops 6, which managed to set new records for Game Pass sign ups, while still driving a major increase in sales on competing platforms like Steam and PlayStation."
Black Ops 7's official thank-you post omitted player statistics and figures that previously accompanied launch celebrations. Past launches highlighted metrics, and Black Ops 6 set franchise records for players, hours played, and matches while boosting Game Pass sign-ups and sales on Steam and PlayStation. The launch post praised player response to gameplay quality and promised further content. Allegations of generative AI use for Ghibli-style Calling Card art sparked controversy and prompted calls for greater AI regulation. Multiplayer garnered positive reception, while the co-op campaign drew criticism and contributed to review-bombing on review platforms.
