CoD Next: Black Ops 7 Streamer Falls Asleep While Playing Zombies

Content creators had a thrilling opportunity to experience the latest installment of the Call of Duty series, Black Ops 7, ahead of its official release during the CoD Next event. However, one notable moment occurred when streamer BigCartiier appeared to doze off during a demo of the Zombies mode.

The demo featured the Ashes of the Damned map, reminiscent of the beloved Transit from Black Ops 2. As BigCartiier navigated through the horde, trouble struck when he was overwhelmed by a wave of relentless zombies intent on taking him down. This scenario would typically send shivers down a player’s spine, but in a surprising twist, BigCartiier decided it was the perfect moment for a quick snooze.

A video clip from the event shows him gradually succumbing to fatigue as the undead relentlessly chip away at his health. Just as he teeters on the brink of being knocked out, a teammate swiftly revives him, prompting BigCartiier to shake off his drowsiness and rejoin the battle without any significant setback.

The incident quickly went viral, sparking playful reactions from the gaming community, with many jokingly suggesting that Black Ops 7’s gameplay had literally put him to sleep. However, BigCartiier took to social media to clarify that his moment of slumber had nothing to do with the game. He emphasized his fatigue from a lack of sleep, stating, “I had three hours of sleep, if that.”He continued with enthusiasm, expressing that he found the Zombies mode potentially enjoyable and praised the multiplayer experience, while suggesting that Warzone could benefit from improved maps.

So, for those anxious Zombie fans concerned that the latest iteration might lack excitement, take a breath—BigCartiier’s sleepiness is not a reflection of the game’s quality.

For players eager to explore the gameplay themselves, the Black Ops 7 beta kicks off on October 2, providing a chance to sample the all-new Zombies Survival map.
