"I admittedly haven't played the game myself yet, but IGN is one of the outlets that has gone live with its 6/10 , which reveals that the campaign's always-online nature means it can't be paused, and if you're idle for what the game deems to be too long it'll boot you out. For a mode that is traditionally offline and totally separate from the online portion of the game, this might come as a shock to some players."
"It gets worse. While the official for Black Ops 7 states that the campaign can be played solo or with a "squad," it definitely emphasises its co-op nature first. A campaign that facilitates co-op is usually a good thing, but here it sounds like very few considerations are made for single players. You can't fill in spots in the four-person squads with AI companions, so if you don't have three friends handy, you're not getting the desired experience."
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's single-player campaign is always-online and cannot be paused; extended idleness will boot players. The campaign emphasizes four-player cooperative play and allows solo or squad play but does not provide AI companions to fill empty squad slots. Many objectives are designed for multiple players and become repetitive or tedious when played alone. There are no checkpoints, so failing to complete a mission in one sitting results in losing all progress. These design choices disadvantage solo players and those with limited session time.
