Curated from Latest from TechRadar US in News,opinion — Here’s what matters right now:
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will no longer have carry forward The feature would have allowed you to use some Black Ops 6 unlocks in the game The change was confirmed in a developer blog post Activision has confirmed that you will not be able to access operators, skins, and weapons from Black Ops 6 in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. The feature, known as carry forward, was previously going to give players the ability to use select content from Black Ops 6 in the upcoming entry. Although some fans appreciated the option to bring forward their favorite unlocks, many were concerned that this would undermine the identity of the new game. I was personally pretty disappointed with the news that carry forward would be present given the disparate settings of the two titles. While Black Ops 6 is set in the 1990s, Black Ops 7 takes place in 2035 - so running around with Gulf War era gear wouldn't make a lot of sense. The news of the decision was announced in a community update blog post , where the developers discuss the top frankly. "We know there’s been a lot of conversation recently about the identity of Call of Duty . Some of you have said we’ve drifted from what made Call of Duty unique in the first place: immersive, intense, visceral and in many ways grounded," it read. "That feedback hits home, and we take it seriously." " Black Ops 7 needs to feel authentic to Call of Duty and its setting. That is why Black Ops 6 Operator and Weapon content will not carry forward to Black Ops 7, " it continued. Importantly your current stock of Double XP tokens and GobbleGums will still carry over into Black Ops 7 , which is good news for those aiming to progress as quickly as possible on day one. Warzone and Black Ops 6 is also not affected, so you don't need to worry about losing access to any of your current content. The post also explained that the developers had heard feedback on in-game bundles, which some players found a little too outlandish in Black Ops 6 . "In Black Ops 7 , bundles and items will be crafted to fit the Black Ops identity," the post stated. "We hear the feedback. We need to deliver a better balance toward the immersive, core Call of Duty experience." Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is set to release is set to release on November 14, 2025 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series S, and PC. You might also like...
