CoD Fans Excited Over New Door Features in Black Ops 7

As the beta phase for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 kicks off, players are expressing frustration over the newly implemented door mechanics. Many fans are already voicing their discontent regarding the way doors function in this latest installment.

Historically, multiplayer maps in the Call of Duty franchise featured door frames that lacked operable doors. Players would encounter many doorways, only to discover they were non-functional barriers. This design persisted until the release of Black Ops 2, which introduced automatic doors. However, the frustrating manual doors introduced in Modern Warfare (2019) led to widespread complaints, as they complicated strategic plays and contributed to chaotic encounters.

Treyarch, the game’s developer, recently confirmed that manual doors have been eliminated from Black Ops 7, a decision intended to streamline gameplay.

Frustrations with Automatic Doors in Black Ops 7 Beta

Despite the removal of manual doors, initial feedback on the beta reveals that automatic doors are not winning over the community. Several players have commented on how these automatic entrances hinder gameplay.

One frustrated gamer remarked, “These automatic doors are closed all the time, blocking off so many critical lines of sight.” Another player echoed this sentiment, noting that the new door mechanics encourage camping rather than dynamic gameplay.

Industry veteran Damon ‘Karma’ Barlow also weighed in, stating, “These god damn doors…I don’t like them at all lol, ” highlighting a shared sentiment among players.

Calls for a complete door removal system have emerged, with Tyler ‘TDAWG’ Smith stating, “Remove doors completely. I know you were trying the BO4 style, but we don’t need them at all.” Another player, known as Zelta, added, “There are way too many sliding doors on BO7; who thought that was a good idea?”

Some fans have even suggested implementing a destructible door feature, allowing players to eliminate barriers through explosions or gunfire. This could enhance interactivity and strategic gameplay.

Treyarch is reportedly aware of player feedback regarding the door system and has committed to adjusting their approach as they develop new maps for upcoming seasonal updates. It remains to be seen whether these insights will prompt significant changes before the game’s official release.
