FULL STORY
======================================================================Call of 
Duty: Black Ops 7 will no longer have carry forward The feature would have 
allowed you to use some Black Ops 6 unlocks in the game The change was 
confirmed in a developer blog post 

Activision has confirmed that you will not be able to access operators, 
skins, and weapons from Black Ops 6 in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. 

The feature, known as carry forward, was previously going to give players the 
ability to use select content from Black Ops 6 in the upcoming entry. 
Although some fans appreciated the option to bring forward their favorite 
unlocks, many were concerned that this would undermine the identity of the 
new game. 

I was personally pretty disappointed with the news that carry forward would 
be present given the disparate settings of the two titles. While Black Ops 6 
is set in the 1990s, Black Ops 7 takes place in 2035 - so running around with 
Gulf War era gear wouldn't make a lot of sense. 

The news of the decision was announced in a community update blog post , 
where the developers discuss the top frankly. 

"We know theres been a lot of conversation recently about the identity of 
Call of Duty . Some of you have said weve drifted from what made Call of Duty 
unique in the first place: immersive, intense, visceral and in many ways 
grounded," it read. "That feedback hits home, and we take it seriously." 

" Black Ops 7 needs to feel authentic to Call of Duty and its setting. That 
is why Black Ops 6 Operator and Weapon content will not carry forward to 
Black Ops 7, " it continued. 

Importantly your current stock of Double XP tokens and GobbleGums will still 
carry over into Black Ops 7 , which is good news for those aiming to progress 
as quickly as possible on day one. 

 Warzone and Black Ops 6 is also not affected, so you don't need to worry 
about losing access to any of your current content. 

The post also explained that the developers had heard feedback on in-game 
bundles, which some players found a little too outlandish in Black Ops 6 . 

"In Black Ops 7 , bundles and items will be crafted to fit the Black Ops 
identity," the post stated. "We hear the feedback. We need to deliver a 
better balance toward the immersive, core Call of Duty experience." 

 Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is set to release is set to release on November 
14, 2025 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Series 
S, and PC. You might also like... The Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 gameplay

worried itll repeat these three Modern Warfare 3 blunders
