Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 has recently undergone several updates, fixing and optimizing a series of issues that have arisen since its launch. In addition, the classic Call of Duty gameplay mode, Nuketown, has been added.
Below, I will introduce all the recent adjustments and new content in Black Ops 7 to help you better understand the game's dynamics.
November 16th Update
Fix 1: Fixed an issue where game modes were reversed in quick play.
Previously, when you turned off post-battle reports, your selected game mode would, due to a bug, change to any other mode you hadn't selected. If you didn't check carefully, you might accidentally enter a game you didn't want to play, wasting time.
Fix 2: Fixed an issue where Spanish voice pack might prevent custom configuration.
This vulnerability was somewhat unexpected. The voice pack and custom configuration system don't seem closely linked, but some players did experience issues using Spanish voice pack and were unable to use custom configurations properly.

November 18th Update
This update includes bug fixes and game stability optimizations across multiple modes.
Multiplayer
The issue of some players being able to complete Trip Cap Dark Ops challenges ahead of time has been fixed.
Zombies
1. The vulnerability that grants abnormal healing and increased health. Previously, some players exploited this vulnerability to gain excessively high health.
2. The Equivalent Exchange could, in certain situations, resurrect downed players. Both of these vulnerabilities negatively impacted game fairness.
3. Arena optimization. Previously, Aether Shroud's afterimage would remain in the arena, potentially causing misinterpretations.
4. The issue of some players experiencing Zombies failing to load. This vulnerability was incredibly frustrating, but thankfully, the developers addressed it promptly.
Co-Op Campaign
Previously, completing this mode unlocked Endgame, which was supposed to be exciting. However, some players encountered a black screen when trying to enter Endgame after completing Campaign.
This update also fixes the bug, allowing you to smoothly enter Endgame through Co-Op Campaign.
November 19th Update
This update is very comprehensive, addressing not only the newly reported issues but also previously mentioned but unresolved problems, such as the daily commission refresh bug and user interface stability issues. Here are two important changes you should pay attention to:
One is the adjustment to the acquisition method of XR-3 ION Military Camos. Previously, to unlock it, you had to achieve 80 one-hit kills. However, XR-3 ION's mechanics involve rapid-fire bullets, making this unlock condition somewhat demanding.
The adjusted acquisition method is now achieving 80 headshots. This is well-suited for Core Mode, where health is higher, allowing for multiple headshots against the same enemy.
However, headshots still require a certain level of skill. It's recommended that you practice your accuracy in CoD Black Ops 7 Bot Lobbies before attempting Military Camos acquisition challenge in actual gameplay.
Another update is Dead Ops Arcade. BO7's update, while maintaining consistent damage across all Ray Gun tiers, reduced the damage of all rays. This means Ray Guns in Dead Ops Arcade won't be as troublesome anymore.
These updates serve as a good warm-up for the upcoming CoD: Black Ops 7 Season 1, further fueling anticipation for what exciting updates BO7 will bring in its first season.
November 20th: Nuketown Returns
The iconic CoD: Black Ops 7 map, Nuketown, has recently been released. This is exciting news for most players.
Nuketown is a futuristic map filled with technologically advanced buildings and robots that move around, giving you a feeling of traveling to a future world.
Nuketown's map design is more suitable for close to mid-range combat, offering a variety of gameplay modes including Domination and Hardpoints. It's a 6v6 battle mode; you can search for it in multiplayer or find it directly in the featured games list.
November 21st: Endgame Opens
Recently, CoD: Black Ops 7 also announced a simplification of Endgame unlock requirements. Previously, you had to complete a campaign to unlock Endgames.
This unlock requirement dissatisfied many players. Campaigns were poorly designed, resulting in a terrible gameplay experience. Some players even gave up on unlocking Endgames altogether because they didn't want to complete campaigns.
The developers seem to have realized this problem, so they've made Endgame open to everyone. This is a good decision. Changing Endgame entry requirements is obviously simpler than spending more time adjusting Campaign content, and it won't cause dissatisfaction among players who love Campaigns.
Additionally, players who have completed the campaign will receive token rewards and other special bonuses. Therefore, players previously forced to complete campaigns to unlock Endgame no longer need to complain about unfairness.
November 21st: Double XP Event Begins
Currently, the weekend Double XP and Double Weapon XP events are underway and are expected to end on Monday. You can take this opportunity to allocate more playtime, upgrade your weapons, and prepare for December 4th.
These are the main fixes and updates for CoD: Black Ops 7 recently. It's clear that the developers are working hard to make changes and optimize the player experience.
Looking forward to Black Ops 7 Season 1 launching on December 4th, there's sure to be even bigger surprises!
