A multiplayer shooter game is only as good as the maps you play them on and the weapons you fight with, and that's what separates the best Call of Duty titles from the forgettable ones.
During a press briefing last week, Treyarch and Activision unveiled a bunch of new information about 2025's new game Black Ops 7, including the full list of launch maps for multiplayer that will be available on day one when the game releases later this year.
There will be 16 total six-vs-six maps and two maps for the new 20-vs-2 Skirmish mode, including three Black Ops 2 classics in Raid, Hijacked, and Express. All three remakes are now based in Japan and have a gorgeous, futuristic aesthetic to match.
Since BO7 is a sequel to BO2, taking place 10 years later in the timeline, there are also several returning weapons of the 30 total in-game at launch, including fan-favorites like the M8A1 burst assault rifle (now a marksman rifle) and the Peacekeeper AR/SMG hybrid. There's also some new weapons that are inspired by classics like the VS Recon (inspired by the DSR 50) and Puma SMG (inspired by the PDW 57).
Weapon Prestige leveling is back for each weapon, too. Each weapon can Prestige twice before hitting 250 levels of Master Prestige, unlocking exclusive camos and an exclusive "meta-shifting" attachment for each gun.
More maps and weapons will be added with each seasonal content drop, which has been the case for CoD over the past several games. It's expected that more BO2 remakes and more original maps will be coming to the game over time.
