It is an Xbox Play Anywhere title and available day one with Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>Boxes are important.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s one of my favorite takeaways from talking with Design Director Matt Scronce and Senior Director of Production Yale Miller at Call of Duty: Next recently, where we had a chance to sit down and chat about the map design process Treyarch is employing for the upcoming <strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.xbox.com\/en-US\/games\/call-of-duty-black-ops-7\">Call of Duty: Black Ops 7<\/a><\/em><\/strong>, and how important a well-placed piece of cover (e.g., a trash can) can help bring balance to the overall flow of a map.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, Treyarch has crafted some of the most detailed and compelling Multiplayer maps the series has ever seen \u2013 who can forget Nuketown? Part of that is understanding how these maps feed into a \u201cthree-lane\u201d design philosophy, in which two side lanes and a central lane connect the two team spawn locations, creating a natural flow for players to learn \u2014 Treyarch has refined this over the years and will continue to do so now with the upcoming <em>Black Ops 7 <\/em>Multiplayer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery lane needs a purpose,\u201d explains Scronce. \u201cIf this lane has a power position, for example, like a building, then you most likely want an opposing power position, likely another building. Toshin, one of the new maps set in Japan, is a very good example of that where you\u2019ve got two power positions looking over the street \u2014 the street can get a little dicey, so you want to stay on the move there, but you also want your buddies watching over your flank straight ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<style>\n.post-template-default .xwsrc-block-content-block .wp-block-column.flex-basis-50.push--25.column--content {\n\tflex: 100%;\n\tmargin-left: 0;\n}\n<\/style>\n<section class=\"xwsrc-block-content-image\">\n<aside class=\"fullwidth-media\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/BO7-MULTIPLAYER-OVERVIEW-012-4ca2b5bee434c06c7ede-1900x1080.jpg\" srcset=\"\" sizes='(max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px alt=\"Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Asset\"'><\/figure>\n<\/aside>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\n\t\t\t\t\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column flex-basis-100 column--content\">\n<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n<p>As I touched upon earlier, cover placement is another big piece of a balanced lane, Scronce tells me. \u201cIf I don\u2019t have cover, I\u2019m just in the open. Whether it\u2019s a trash can or a crate or a rock, if I can post-up at this piece of cover, then most likely you want the opposing player to have another piece of cover, so we can have kind of a proper head-on engagement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>My experience on Toshin during the recent <em>Call of Duty: Black Ops 7<\/em> Multiplayer Beta confirmed much of what Scronce detailed. That city street between the buildings? In every match that landed on Toshin, I found it to be one of the biggest danger points where teams would mix it up, with each side being naturally driven to that point through alleyways, shops, and apartments. It\u2019s clear a tremendous amount of work goes into crafting every one of these Multiplayer maps, taking chokepoints, lanes, and other considerations into account, and that it must be hard to know when to check a map off as \u201cready\u201d to be deployed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s tough: because the team is so passionate about all the maps, they want to continue going forever,\u201d says Miller. \u201cThat\u2019s why things like the Beta are so crucial for us. It\u2019s a lot of looking at how a team and the overall community plays on the map.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To get it to a point where Treyarch feels a Multiplayer map is ready to be deployed, the team goes through a ton of playtesting in the studio, until it feels like they\u2019ve created the best map possible for their players \u2014 in the sense that it feels fair, balanced, and the average player could learn the map and get better at it, and doesn\u2019t feel like there\u2019s any spot that\u2019s exploitative in the sense of single power position where you can see the whole map.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"xwsrc-block-content-image\">\n<aside class=\"fullwidth-media\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/BO7-MULTIPLAYER-OVERVIEW-007-96d97c8a08656b90813d-1900x1080.jpg\" srcset=\"\" sizes='(max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px alt=\"Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Asset\"'><\/figure>\n<\/aside>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\n\t\t\t\t\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column flex-basis-100 column--content\">\n<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n<p>\u201cAnother huge one is visibility,\u201d adds Miller. \u201cSo much work goes into it because you have interiors, you have exteriors, you have lines of sight. If someone\u2019s hiding in the back of a building, but there\u2019s a doorway here and it\u2019s looking down onto a lane, if you\u2019re on the other side, can you see them? Does it make sense how you move through it? Then as you start to layer things like visuals, additional cover\u2026 you start seeing different sight lines. You\u2019re smoothing something down and you look for those problem spaces \u2013 it\u2019s like whittling wood and trying to get it as smooth as you possibly can. And if we\u2019re playing a bunch and no one\u2019s seeing a huge cut or a nick, to continue that analogy, then we feel like we\u2019re in a pretty good spot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Call of Duty maps are well known for showcasing some truly great-looking maps (Hijacked and Carrier come to mind), but part of that \u201cawesome\u201d is also ensuring these maps have good visual landmarking as well. Not only should the map play well after a few turns, as a player you need to be able to figure out \u201cWhere the hell am I?\u201d when you spawn in, so you know you\u2019ll be able to call out where you\u2019re at to your teammates so they can come help you.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s why the Betas are so important to us,\u201d says Miller. \u201cBecause there are things that we\u2019re trying, but how\u2019s the community reacting? There will be changes to maps post-Beta absolutely, there\u2019s no question. The team\u2019s already debating this stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a conversation between design and production,\u201d adds Scronce. \u201cIf it\u2019s up to design, they\u2019re never done (making the map). I was talking to our level design director (during Call of Duty: Next) who was back at the offices watching the stream, and he was like, \u2018Hey, we should address this\u2026\u2019 We\u2019ve been known to make changes to maps that are already out in retail based off player feedback. If we have time and we feel like it will make the map better, we will try our hardest to make that change.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"xwsrc-block-content-image\">\n<aside class=\"fullwidth-media\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/BO7-MULTIPLAYER-OVERVIEW-085-c2d1fa998293716c2220-1900x1081.jpg\" srcset=\"\" sizes='(max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px alt=\"Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Asset\"'><\/figure>\n<\/aside>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\n\t\t\t\t\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column flex-basis-100 column--content\">\n<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n<p>One of the things that made <em>Black Ops 6<\/em> Multiplayer stand out was introducing a new way for players to move through the maps with Omnimovement \u2013 a feature that allows you to sprint, slide, and dive in any direction with a full 360-degress range of motion. It was perhaps one of the biggest game changers to come to Multiplayer in years. New for <em>Black Ops 7<\/em> will be wall jumps, which have given matches an even greater level of verticality and speed, in addition to a refined version of Omnimovement. When the crafting process starts, I wanted to know at which point do these new and distinct gameplay features play a role in how a map is built \u2013 is it from inception or later in the process?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it can be both, but usually it\u2019s from inception,\u201d Scronce tell me. \u201cWhere a map like Blackheart, for example, which was in the Beta, that map has wall jumps that go over a grinder. So, for sure, new mechanics are considered. I think, when everything turns out the best is when everybody\u2019s kind of aware and driving towards the same goal. But there are maps where you start playing them, and then you\u2019re like, \u2018Oh, it\u2019d be really cool if I could do this\u2026\u2019 That might not be a wall jump opportunity, but perhaps a sneaky, clever opportunity. Maybe we\u2019ll put a piece of plywood down to tell you that you can jump here, and the team will shape it a little bit more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we\u2019re looking at stuff and talking about different maps, before they\u2019re even starting paper design, it\u2019s like, \u2018What\u2019s the intention of this map?\u2019\u201d adds Miller. \u201cDo we want it to be a big map, but [have] the engagements be close? What are the goals? And some of it could be we want this to be a map where it\u2019s about finding flank routes and moving constantly, versus a map where it\u2019s about finding good cover, posting up, and kind of head-to-head battles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>No player wants every map to play the same way, which circles back to how features like Omnimovement and wall jumps can feed into making each of these maps feel distinct, whether they are leaning into these new features or not. \u201cYou can kind of learn from that in the design. And then, of course, the community figures out other ways of being successful in maps\u2026 and we make changes,\u201d Miller says.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"xwsrc-block-content-image\">\n<aside class=\"fullwidth-media\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/xboxwire.thesourcemediaassets.com\/sites\/2\/2025\/10\/launch_maps-146f01c840d0ac3d346e-1900x1080.jpg\" srcset=\"\" sizes='(max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px alt=\"Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Asset\"'><\/figure>\n<\/aside>\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\n\t\t\t\t\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-column flex-basis-100 column--content\">\n<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n<p>Treyarch has confirmed they\u2019ve already begun implementing key improvements and updates for launch (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.callofduty.com\/patchnotes\/2025\/10\/call-of-duty-black-ops-7-beta-patch-notes\">see Beta patch notes<\/a>), thanks to some key takeaways from the recent <em>Black Ops 7 <\/em>Beta. One of those is having Open Matchmaking with minimal skill consideration as a default for <em>Black Ops 7 Multiplayer<\/em> (like the Open Moshpit approach tested during the Beta). They also confirmed they\u2019re focused on keeping players together from match to match more often, and that persistent lobbies will be available at launch, with more details and confirmed changes to be shared in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day, Scronce tells me that making sure a map is competitive, fair, and fun are part of the ethos that the team drives to during their creations. \u201cWhether you want to tune out and play Nuketown all day, or spend the night diving into Ranked, you should be walking away feeling that it was a fair fight, no matter which side you\u2019re on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now in the lead-up to the launch of <em>Call of Duty: Black Ops 7<\/em>, Treyarch is taking all their collective experience over the years of crafting best-in-class Multiplayer experiences into the newest <em>Call of Duty<\/em> title.
