Treyarch&#8217;s octagonal future aesthetic looks like it was arbitrarily chosen from a &#8216;Call of Duty art&#8221; grab bag because it&#8217;s been a while since Activision milked that particular cow. But this time, Treyarch&#8217;s pitch of a nostalgic nod to a beloved era of the series isn&#8217;t taking hold the same way it did a year ago.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, it feels like Activision is grasping for ways to signal that Black Ops 7 is meaningfully different from Black Ops 6, but we&#8217;ve been on this ride before. We know what a &#8220;filler&#8221; CoD looks like because we <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-3-2023-review\/\">just got one two years ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"youtube-video\" data-nosnippet >\n<div class=\"video-aspect-box\"><iframe data-lazy-priority=\"low\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wFGEMfyAQtI\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"enter-battlefield-6-6\">Enter Battlefield 6<\/h2>\n<p>What Call of Duty didn&#8217;t have two years ago was a legitimate alternative. The three weeks leading up to the Black Ops 7 reveal were the Battlefield 6 show: A gameplay premiere that amounted to glowing impressions (and not just from easy-to-please influencers), a wildly successful beta, and a growing sentiment that <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/fps\/battlefield-6-is-making-an-excellent-case-to-skip-call-of-duty-this-year\/\">Battlefield has finally caught up to Call of Duty<\/a> where it matters most.<\/p>\n<p>To bleary-eyed CoD fans, Battlefield 6 is shaping up to be everything Blops 7 isn&#8217;t: Classic, bombastic, modern, and <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/call-of-duty\/call-of-duty-is-firmly-in-its-slop-era-and-now-its-battlefield-6s-game-to-lose\/\">decidedly less ugly<\/a>.
