Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is now out, and while this new entry in the long-running franchise doesn't stray far from its traditional action-packed gameplay in the single-player campaign, there is one big difference here: You can't pause the game.
The always-online campaign doesn't allow players to take a quick break during a firefight, as the game continues with or without you. This means you'll need to find a safe place to camp out in case you need to take a breather away from your screen--unless you want to become a standing target for enemies--but the game is pretty forgiving with deaths.
"I never found myself having to replay too much of a mission if I had to take a break midway through or I reached a challenging section where I died a lot," Summer Doster explained in GameSpot's Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 single-player campaign review.
Another change prompting online discourse is the game's aim-assist feature. Some players feel like the feature has been significantly dialed back following feedback from the beta, with some praising it and others asking for Treyarch to make changes to it.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is out now for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One, as well as for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers. If you're planning to play it, here's a closer look at everything that's included in the Black Ops 7 multiplayer, how you'll level up more quickly in Season 1, and everything you need to know about the Black Ops 7 endgame.
