Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 vs Battlefield 6: The Battle for Multiplayer Supremacy
The upcoming release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Battlefield 6 has sparked a heated debate among gamers, with one of the most critical factors being the selection of maps. While Battlefield 6 is known for its larger maps and bigger battles with more players, Black Ops 7 is taking a different approach with a volume-based strategy, featuring 19 maps at launch. These maps will support 6v6 multiplayer on a smaller scale, with two Skirmish maps that will allow for 20v20 battles.

Black Ops 7 Multiplayer Maps
At launch, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will feature 17 maps that support 6v6 multiplayer, as well as two Skirmish maps for 20v20 battles. The game will also include a range of modes, including the campaign, Endgame, zombies, and Dead Ops Arcade. The sheer number of launch maps should help to break up the repetition of constant multiplayer.
