The latest title in the Call of Duty franchise, Black Ops 7, just dropped, and players are complaining about its campaign mode. As reported by IGN, the “innovative Co-Op Campaign” that Activision has been flexing means an online-first experience. So, even if you’re playing solo, you still need to be connected to the internet.
Even though you can launch missions alone, they’re designed from the ground up for cooperative multiplayer. That means those who do not have friends or even random strangers with them would feel like they’re playing in an abandoned online lobby. Some tasks, meant to be accomplished simultaneously by four players, would also feel repetitive if you’re a lone wolf in the world of Black Ops 7. One Steam review even said that they can still hear dialogue from your supposed allies even when you’re alone, making the experience feel weird.
