Call of Duty leaker reveals a ton of gameplay changes coming with Black Ops 7

Thanks to the introduction of Call of Duty’s unified launcher CODHQ, leakers and dataminers have been able to gather details on future content updates and even future titles far ahead of their official announcements. While we’ve only seen a brief teaser cinematic for the game so far, many of Call of Duty Black Ops 7’s biggest upcoming gameplay changes have now leaked.

As reported by known COD insider TheGhostofHope, the upcoming Black Ops 7 is set to make some interesting changes to its core gameplay.

Though far from the biggest change, the insider claimed that the next Call of Duty entry will get rid of openable doors in its 6v6 multiplayer maps (a feature popularised by 2019’s COD Modern Warfare reboot).

Another major gameplay change which was introduced with MW2019 was the tac-sprint, allowing you to run forwards at greater speeds for a short amount of time. While a welcome addition back then, this movement mechanic clashes somewhat with COD’s current omni-movement system, and as such according to Hope, BO7 will be getting rid of tac-sprint.

Other notable gameplay changes said to be coming include the return of looping killstreaks (though only available as a perk) and new specialist-styled abilities such as active camos; grappling hooks etc…

Other miscellaneous details include ‘confirmation’ that BO7 won’t feature the classic pick-10 system; will only have 3 remastered Black Ops 2 maps at launch; and will see the return of weekly challenge events for improved rewards.

Black Ops 6 launched with a ton of potential, but Treyarch dropped the ball somewhat with their post-launch support. Unfortunately, this was to be expected somewhat due to them working on a direct successor (BO7) for the following year. Still, though it’s too early to tell, Treyarch seems to be making a lot of correct moves so far with Black Ops 7.
