Out for shark people & co.: No crazy skins in "Call of Duty: Black Ops 7"
Octopus heads and cartoon characters are a thing of the past in "Call of Duty: Black Ops". Activision has decided not to transfer these skins to "Black Ops 7".
This is why gamers are taking to the barricades
«Call of Duty: Black Ops» is a spin-off game series of the «Call of Duty» series. It has its origins in a realistic World War 2 setting. In «Black Ops», the focus is on secret operations and psychological warfare - initially during the Cold War, then also in future and zombie settings.
For many players, the game series loses its original serious and realistic feel with such colourful and creative skins and is too reminiscent of fun shooters like «Fortnite». This criticism is something that developer studio Treyarch and publisher Activision have increasingly had to deal with.
What is transferable and what is not
Activision justifies the decision by saying it has listened to the negative feedback. The development team realised that the game series had moved too far away from its immersive and intense gameplay and needed to become more authentic again.
You can also use XP tokens purchased for «Black Ops 6» for faster levelling and GobbleGumms - items that grant unique abilities in Zombie Mode - in «Black Ops 7». Activision confirmed this in its announcement.
