Black Ops 7 is in the spotlight again, and not for good reasons. The game has now dropped to a 1.9 user score on Metacritic, making it the lowest-rated Call of Duty release in the franchiseâs entire history. Hundreds of players are leaving negative reviews, pushing the score below even Modern Warfare 3âs infamous 2.3.
Most of the backlash is aimed at the campaign, with fans calling it messy, over-the-top, and nowhere near the quality they expected from a sequel to Black Ops 2. Complaints mention everything from giant zombie bosses to flying machetes, and many feel the story just doesnât fit the tone of the classic Black Ops games.
The game is also catching heat for being always-online, even for solo content â something players say ruins the experience. And after the controversy over AI-generated assets, frustration has only grown stronger.
Interestingly, while users are shredding the game, critics currently have it sitting at 84/100, meaning the reviewer scores and player scores are wildly split. Still, with most user ratings sitting at 0/10 or 1/10, itâs clear that Black Ops 7 is facing a massive review-bombing wave.
