Alright, so here's the deal — Black Ops 7’s multiplayer is definitely better than the campaign, but honestly that’s not saying much. The campaign is… well, let’s just call it rough. So yeah, multiplayer wins by default, but we’re not talking about some mind-blowing leap forward here. What you get is a mash-up of maps, modes, and the usual zombie chaos that checks the boxes for a serviceable shooter. Sure, there are a couple of cool ideas tossed in, but they don’t all land.

The swings are wild, but it’s impossible not to feel more alive in those games.
It’s that unpredictability that reminded me of the older days of the series — when you’d hop in and have no clue if you were about to have the best round of your life or get absolutely battered. And now, having the choice between those vibes is easily the best move Treyarch’s made in years.
