Call of Duty Black Ops 7 Confirms Split-Screen Limits Fans Are Furious

Call of Duty fans are buzzing after official clarification on Black Ops 7’s split-screen support. While the game will feature split-screen in certain modes, the co-op campaign, returning for the first time since Black Ops 3, will not support this feature. The news has left many players frustrated, as split-screen co-op has long been a staple of the series and a major draw for local multiplayer enthusiasts.

Black Ops 7 is confirmed to be a direct sequel to the critically acclaimed Black Ops 2. It brings back fan-favorite characters and introduces a four-player co-op campaign. Despite this return, players will only be able to play the campaign solo or online with friends. Activision confirmed that while split-screen will be available in other modes, local co-op in the campaign is being skipped entirely.

Split-screen will still be available in Black Ops 7’s multiplayer and Zombies modes, following in the footsteps of Black Ops 6. Fans can expect to enjoy traditional local co-op in these modes, providing some relief for those disappointed by the co-op campaign limitation.

Further details about Black Ops 7’s gameplay are expected at the upcoming Call of Duty NEXT reveal event on September 30. This event will showcase Zombies mode, multiplayer features, and likely information about the game’s beta. The beta will launch in early access on October 2 for those who pre-order or are subscribed to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass. Public access to the beta will begin on October 5 and conclude on October 8, giving fans a chance to test multiplayer features before the official launch on November 14.

Call of Duty Black Ops 7 is shaping up to be one of the most exciting releases of the year, but the absence of split-screen in the campaign has ignited passionate debate among the community. Fans will need to wait until October to get a full taste of the game’s multiplayer and Zombies offerings.
