The latest installment of Call of Duty, Black Ops 7, presents a campaign that deviates from its predecessors by embracing a cooperative gameplay model, focusing on the elite Specter One squad, led by Alex Mason. This narrative unfolds a decade after the events of Black Ops 2, taking players through diverse locations such as Tokyo, Angola, Vorkuta, and Avalon, which also serves as the setting for the repeatable Endgame mode.
The primary campaign consists of eleven distinct missions, each offering unique challenges and rewards upon completion. These missions range from 'Exposure,' which grants the Irides One M15 Mod 0 weapon blueprint, to 'Containment,' which unlocks a Grounded operator skin. After completing these core missions, players gain access to 'Endgame,' an open-world experience designed for re-playability with up to 32 participants. The total duration for completing the main campaign is approximately four hours, though this can vary based on individual skill, team size, and the amount of exploration undertaken, especially within the expansive Avalon segments.
This cooperative campaign structure and the introduction of the 'Endgame' mode mark a significant evolution for the series, encouraging teamwork and offering extended gameplay beyond the traditional single-player experience. The game’s design reflects a commitment to innovation, pushing the boundaries of what a Call of Duty campaign can be by fostering collaborative engagement and providing a dynamic, replayable post-campaign environment. Players are invited to dive into a richly detailed world, working together to overcome obstacles and uncover the narrative's depths.
