Call of Duty Black Ops 7 teaser: David Mason will battle fear itself to save a world on the brink of chaos. Watch

Call of Duty Black Ops 7 teaser: The Call of Duty game series is one of the most popular gaming properties in the world, with their catalogue spanning across two decades and 23 games. Published originally by Activision in 2003, the series and its characters have become synonymous with first-person shooter games, and now they are back with another addition to their prolific collection. Developed by Treyarch and Raven Software, Black Ops 7 is set in 2035 and will pick up from after the events of Black Ops 2 and 6.
Our protagonist, David 'Section' Mason, who was earlier voiced by Avatar actor David Worthington, will now be voiced by actor Milo Ventimiglia, who is best known for his role in the TV series Gilmore Girls. David can be seen exploring the offices of The Guild, which poses as a company building tech for the betterment of society but in reality is a criminal organisation. David soon realises how the company's innovations are getting more advanced and stronger and how the promise of protecting the entire world is just another way of putting it in a cage.

David follows a red butterfly, which seems to be a digital creation, and finds himself in a world with its dimensions all warped. As the butterfly lands upon a hand that emerges from the dark, the palm closes, reducing the butterfly to dust, and we hear the familiar voice of Raul Menendez, the main antagonist of Black Ops 2 and Call of Duty Strike Team. For context, Menendez is a Nicaraguan drug lord who planned an attack against the US government and other heads of state.
While the teaser doesn't give away the exact motive behind Menendez's plans, we get an idea about his psyche going into this narrative as he snarls while addressing David and says, 'Fear is a powerful thing, David Mason.' No confirmation regarding the release date was made, but most Call of Duty games drop in either October or November. The caption posted by the developers along with the teaser reads, 'The year is 2035, and the world is on the brink of chaos, ravaged by violent conflict and psychological warfare following the events of Black Ops 2 and Black Ops 6. Wielding cutting-edge technology, the Black Ops team led by David Mason must fight back against a manipulative enemy who weaponises fear above all else.'

Is Battlefield 6's Javelin anti-cheat system better than Black Ops 6's Ricochet?

Image via Electronic Arts. Since the arrival of Battlefield 6, this highly anticipated title has totally rocked the gaming industry as thousands of players dive into it, despite the game being in its beta phase. According to SteamDB, Battlefield 6 peaked with over half-a-million players, which even beat the all-time record of Call of Duty as well. Now, it seems the upcoming title is going to leave behind Call of Duty yet again, in another sector, in which the latter has recently been compromised more than any game in recent times. Yes, in terms of the anti-cheat system. Battlefield 6's Javelin vs Black Ops 6 's Ricochet - which one is better? Call of Duty needs to improve Ricochet in Black Ops 7 in order to beat Battlefield 6. | Image via Activision. As Battlefield 6 was hovering with an overwhelming player count that no one expected for a beta phase, it was a matter of time that hackers would stick their heads into this flock, and they did. But no one would have ever thought that Javelin, the anti-cheat system of Battlefield 6 which hasn't been released fully yet, would slam over a staggering 333,000 hacking attempts during the first weekend of the open beta. However, still many players faced hackers in their lobbies even after that, but the infestation was way lesser than the previous attempts before Javelin took charge. Despite Battlefield 6 beta still suffering from hacking woes, fans can already dream about a cleaner gameplay experience when the game finally gets released on October 10, 2025. Now this is when people started comparing Battlefield 6's Javelin with Black Ops 6's Ricochet. The comparison between these huge franchises has been a long standing battle now. So, it was quite evident that fans would leave no opportunity to compare these titles in any terms. That is why Ricochet is now hugely criticized because of its inability to stop hackers. Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and Warzone are one of most popular games right now, and probably get infested by the hackers the most. Ricochet has proven to be a worthy anti-cheat system in the past, but even after Activision's assurance, the game is still massacred with hackers. So, in conclusion, Javelin takes a lead ahead of Ricochet right now.. But as we are also approaching another highly anticipated release, Black Ops 7, CoD fans are rooting for the developers to make Ricochet stronger. And that needs to be done at all cost, if BO7 doesn't want to lose its fight against BF6.
