Black Ops 7 Losing the War Before It Starts? Fans Say Battlefield 6 Has More Hype — By a Landslide

Battlefield 6 Dominates Fan Hype While Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Struggles With Delays and Uncertainty

The FPS battleground is heating up, but for once, Call of Duty isn’t winning the war. According to a recent poll conducted by ModernWarzone, an authority in the CoD community, an eye-opening 80.5% of over 31,000 respondents said they’re more excited for Battlefield 6 than the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops 7.

The shocking poll numbers come despite Battlefield 6 still being deep in its pre-release phase—with leaked footage and testing environments slowly shaping public opinion. While Battlefield 6 recently had nearly 40 minutes of gameplay footage leak (showcasing massive destruction physics, improved Dominion and Conquest modes, and detailed environmental chaos), Black Ops 7 has offered fans very little beyond campaign details and vague teaser drops.

📉 Setbacks, Delays, and Fan Frustration

At a time when anticipation should be peaking, Black Ops 7’s inconsistency and secrecy are backfiring. The multiplayer reveal isn’t even happening until August 19th—deep into Gamescom’s Opening Night Live event, which begins at 2 PM ET / 11 AM PT. With no full trailer, no official beta date, and a lack of engaging updates, many longtime CoD fans are calling this one of the most confusing and disconnected pre-launch cycles in franchise history.

What’s worse? This delay in communication has created a ripple effect of uncertainty, with fans taking to forums, Reddit, and social media expressing that they don’t even know what Black Ops 7 is trying to be—especially coming off the heels of the Gulf War-era setting in BO6 and the rumored time leap into a near-future narrative for BO7.

While Battlefield 6 still has its controversies—like visible bullet trails that could compromise sniper players—their leaks and communication have stirred up far more excitement and intrigue than Treyarch’s radio silence.

🔍 A Tale of Two Shooters

With Battlefield 6’s release date reportedly locked in for October 10, and Black Ops 7 still floating without a confirmed launch window, the FPS community is watching this head-to-head battle unfold in real time.

Despite the Call of Duty franchise’s massive legacy and loyal player base, this feels like a rare moment where the crown is slipping—and Battlefield might be ready to grab it.

MainEvent.News | Backstage Take:

Call of Duty has never been this quiet this close to launch. With beta info MIA and multiplayer details delayed until late August, it’s no wonder fans are jumping ship for Battlefield 6. Treyarch may still pull off a comeback, but right now, Black Ops 7 feels like it’s being outplayed before the match even begins.
