Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is adding fan-favorite weapon Maddox and the Standoff map, and FPS fans are let’s gooo-ing all over the place: “They are way too good at roping us back in every. damn. time”

We’re truly back. Or so I’ve been informed by the multitude of Call of Duty enthusiasts responding to the announcement that Treyarch is reintroducing a few beloved elements for the first season of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7.

During today’s season one preview developer discussion, senior production director Yale Miller refers to the inaugural season of Black Ops 7 as “the largest season we have ever executed in franchise history.” Bold statements, and seemingly warranted as individuals are overwhelmingly enthusiastic about several of these features, particularly the comeback of the favored Maddox RFB from Black Ops 4 along with updated versions of classic maps Standoff and Meltdown, which haven’t appeared on the big screen since 2012’s Black Ops 2.

“Standoff, the Maddox and a round-based zombies map wow Treyarch please don’t subjected me to a vibe you can’t sustain.”

“They could be getting a little too excited right off the bat. We haven’t had something this promising in ages; they could have spaced it out a tad. This is awesome, though. Great job, Treyarch.”

Overall, Black Ops 7’s first season will feature seven “signature” 6v6 maps, seven new weapons, three Zombies maps, the previously mentioned remasters, additional Zombies content and new augmentations, plus “much more” that Treyarch is keeping under wraps for the time being.

Black Ops 7 is set to launch on November 14, with the first season anticipated to commence shortly thereafter.

Treyarch acknowledges Black Ops 7 “controller players are prevailing slightly more in close-range” due to aim assist, stating they are reworking it while Raven considers similar adjustments for Warzone

After graduating with an English degree from ASU, I served as a corporate copy editor while also freelancing for outlets such as SFX Magazine, Screen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMORPG on the side. I received my significant opportunity here in 2019 with a freelance news position, and in 2021, I was brought on as GamesRadar’s west coast Staff Writer. This role entails overseeing the site’s western regional division, AKA my home office, and writing about any horror game that I’m too scared to complete.
