Those aren’t mountains, they’re waves<\/em>. Among all the cool near-future operators and wall jumps seen in the big Black Ops 7 reveal<\/a> today, one detail from Activision’s extensive blog post loomed large: Black Ops 7 will carry forward all weapons and cosmetics from last year’s game, setting the stage for a tidal wave of tacky skins to hit the new game all at once.<\/p>\n

Starting in Season 1, which will begin a few weeks after the November 14 launch, Blops 6’s stuff will fully integrate into Blops 7.<\/p>\n

That’s good news for folks who’ve invested hundreds of hours and dollars into their Blops 6 arsenals over the last year and won’t have to say goodbye to it if they pick up Blops 7, but it’s the worst case scenario for a growing minority of fans who think ostentatious skins and crossover bundles erode at Call of Duty’s appeal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Unlike a typical CoD year, carry-forward means there will be no gradual ramp-up of goofy skins proliferating Blops 7 over time: As soon as Season 1 begins, so too will Terminator, American Dad, Beavis and Butthead, TMNT, Ballerina, Squid Game, Jay and Silent Bob, and Zeus (from Greek mythology) become permanent fixtures of the game.<\/p>\n

It’s not a promising place to kick off Treyarch’s plan to “calibrate” Blops 7 cosmetics<\/a> in light of the complaints. Meanwhile, Battlefield 6 (releasing a month before CoD) has committed to “keeping things grounded.”<\/a><\/p>\n

Carry-forward also applies to unspent Double XP tokens and Gobblegums from the Zombies mode, but Activision did highlight some exceptions:<\/p>\n
