Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 – Global Launch Gameplay Trailer – YouTube
Pro tip: Zombies has quietly become Call of Duty’s standout feature. If you haven’t played it yet, give it a try — what started as a World at War novelty has evolved into a deep, lore-rich mode that rewards planning and teamwork.
This move reads like a subtle dig between Activision and EA, who have been trading quiet barbs as both franchises release new entries this year. EA and the Battlefield 6 team have stressed a more “grounded” approach to cosmetics, which contrasts with Call of Duty’s tendency toward offbeat crossover skins.
There won’t be many players tempted to revisit a slightly older Call of Duty the moment its biggest rival debuts — unless they missed it the first time. Still, free access is persuasive: if Activision grabs even a few thousand new players, that’s a win, and some of them could convert into Black Ops 7 pre-orders.
While Battlefield 6 keeps cosmetics restrained, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is leaning into the zanier skins by carrying over many of Black Ops 6’s more outlandish outfits as developers continue to balance player expectations.
