Officially, Xbox has just revealed that Call of Duty Black Ops 7 will be sold as of November 14th. The fun of the game and the controversy about who should play shrieked to their maximum. Players, in their different ways, have reacted, and the drama going on is living through social media.

Xbox’s official account gave out the message, “BE READY,” and then offered the link to pre-order it the moment they posted it. November 14th is the date. That’s all the main info. Now, let’s look into how people are going to talk about it and what they’re going to think.

In short, the replies are the scenes of a battle of their own, PUN NOT INTENDED. There is the super hyped crowd like ‘mamaralic’ who just said “Preordered! Can’t wait 🤩”. This person is right there at the front, and totally immersed in it. Just like there is ‘EventsInCOD’ who just says “Ready for November 14 💪”. These are the day-one players who even have it preloaded before the midnight release.

On the contrary, the other side is very vocal, and it almost looks like a civil war in the comments section. ‘Frostgambit9191 ‘ threw down “Ready to ignore this game like there’s no tomorrow.” Ouch! That sounds harsh. And ‘Muncher1617’ replied in a sarcastic manner: “Wow, I can’t wait to spend $70 on an overhyped glorified dlc”. One can almost see the eye-roll even if it’s through a screen.

One of the hottest discussion topics? Battlefield. This really means different answers are out there trying to compete and keep the rivalries alive. ‘ViciousValtor’ shared, “I’m hooked on Battlefield, it’s better now than that title 🔥”. Much less subtle was ‘carrera594’ who said, “Remember folks, Battlefield 6 is here and it is way superior.” Hard to believe that they are treating CoD announcement as a free ad for their rival which is insane.

Next, the problem of the whole storage thing? ‘VergeX77’ humorously said, “You guys had better stock up on extra storage Lol.” This is really a very good question. These games are coming out heavy. Can my console take it? Probably not.

Then there came the age-old concern of cheaters. In a very casual tone, ‘CarlosBitMe’ bluntly asked, “hope the anti-cheat can finally STOP CHEATERS”. It’s an endless fight. We wish for the best with every new release, and then…you know.

There were some comments that sounded just insane. ‘TheGinger0ne’ mentioned, “I’ll make sure to buy a chair, can’t beat them, join them, let the hacks commence!!”. Is this a joke? Is he serious? I think sometimes the internet can be a very strange place.

If this wasn’t enough, an international element was added. ‘SteveMCraft25’ asked, “Come to Indonesia when?” and ‘gui_jacobino’ with a look of disinterest remarked, “Ninguém se importa” which, by the way, means “Nobody cares,” if you don’t know Portuguese. Over the years, the worldwide reach of CoD drama has been nothing short of remarkable.

On that, ‘a11direction_wx’ even went so far as to have a meltdown about the developers “literally getting rid of and improving what everyone one complained about for years and they still complain and cry”. He is saying that no matter how hard the developer tries to please gamers, there will always be a group of unhappy ones and that it’s a cycle.

Then there’s ‘KingJoshkd’, who truly seemed to be confused: “Did Black Ops 6 just come out?”. Seriously, buddy? Where have you been?

The pre-order bonus issue is already causing a stir. ‘Stxrnixx’ called a “scam” the Reznov challenge pack that reportedly wouldn’t even be in the game. The game is not out yet and there is indeed controversy.

So what is the general mood? It’s total chaos. Super fans already started counting down the days to the release. Then come the haters since they are just trying to promote Battlefield through this. And finally, the skeptics who are sick and tired of the same thing.

There will always be drama around Call of Duty. The announcement is just the starting point for months filled with arguing, hype, disappointment, and, perhaps, a few good matches in between. Will Black Ops 7 be good? No one knows. But the conversation surrounding it has already developed into a fully fledged game. November 14th can’t come fast enough!
