Black Ops 7 leak hints omni-directional movement is about to level up again
A new Call of Duty Black Ops 7 leak has seemingly revealed that wingsuits are set to make a return in the hugely anticipated shooter, in a new 20v20 mode called Skirmish. Black Ops 7 is eagerly awaited, but a recent leak suggests some significant new additions to the series' multi-directional movement arsenal. The unveiling of Black Ops 7 during this year's Summer showcase period was unexpected, not because we weren't anticipating a new Call of Duty game, but due to the trailer being exceptionally well-crafted, hinting at a mind-boggling adventure unlike anything we've seen in the franchise before. It was quite startling, but it successfully stirred up excitement for the next chapter of the thought-provoking series. However, it appears there's more out there than Activision might prefer. With the expectation of a delayed Season 4 Reloaded leaving players without the information they crave, they're eager for any minor detail they can get their hands on – and this could have caused a lot of problems for Activision, as sharp-eyed players have noticed a mistake that the series has made. It seems Call of Duty has inadvertently leaked a major aspect of its gameplay. New images from Black Ops 7 have emerged, showcasing mechanical armed dogs and highly advanced soldier suits, but what players are most intrigued by is a new mode called Skirmish, which boasts an incredibly unique set of rules. Time to take flight CharlieIntel and ModernWarzone have dropped a bombshell with reports of an accidental leak caused by a blunder on the Xbox app, which inadvertently broadcast confidential details about Black Ops 7 to all app users. According to the leaked message, players can look forward to Skirmish, an all-new 20v20 mode on a sizeable map, where the goal is to "Use your wingsuit to flank and reach objectives before your enemy. The first team to reach the score limit wins!". Beyond that, another gameplay mode dubbed Overload focuses on battling for control over an EMP device, yet it's the comeback of wingsuits that's snagging headlines. Wingsuits haven't swooped into the Call of Duty battlegrounds since Blackout in Black Ops 4, and considering the significant emphasis placed on a groundbreaking omni-directional movement system in Black Ops 6, wingsuits portend a revolution in free-moving combat strategy. The reveal throws up tantalising teasers as to what we might anticipate from Black Ops 7, particularly how it will evolve gameplay-wise. Past iterations, such as the incremental tweaks seen between Modern Warfare 2 and 3, make this news all the more thrilling – it hints at possibly bigger leaps in evolution. We'll need patience before any more reveals are offered, but for those keen on taking to the skies, this leak is remarkably promising.

Call of Duty Black Ops 7 leaks suggest a new team-based game mode might be coming
(Image via Activision) A fresh leak has just dropped, and it's got the entire Call of Duty fandom buzzing. Black Ops 7, the next entry in the franchise, might be packing a wild new multiplayer experience, and we're talking big battles, chaotic objectives, and some wingsuit action. The mode is reportedly called Skirmish , and if the leaks are legit, it could seriously shake up the BO7 meta. A New 20v20 Game Mode Called Skirmish is Coming to the Game According to the leaked loading screens, Skirmish is a 20v20 team-based mode set on a massive map. Unlike your typical kill-or-be-killed multiplayer vibes, this one's all about objectives. Think: Destroying payloads Capturing points of interest Transmitting high-value data Each team has to work together to complete missions and reach the score limit before the other side does. Oh—and did we mention wingsuits are involved? Yep. It's giving Warzone mobility with old-school multiplayer chaos. Skirmish looks like it's built for flanking, fast drops, and full-send strategies. Where Did This Leak Even Come From? The source? None other than Activision itself—sort of. On June 26, the Call of Duty HQ app for Xbox apparently glitched out and showed off a few internal playtest assets. Cue screenshots flying all over socials, and suddenly, the internet's deep-diving into what Black Ops 7 is cooking. No official takedowns yet. No comments from Activision either. Suspicious silence? Definitely. But that's what's making the community believe the leak holds water. Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 | Official Teaser When's It Dropping? No official release date has been announced for Black Ops 7 yet, but if history's any clue, we're looking at an October 2025 window. Activision dropped the first teaser during the Xbox Games Showcase, and more reveals are expected before August hits. As for Skirmish , it showed up in what's described as an upcoming Closed Internal Playtest. That means it's still being worked on behind closed doors. Whether it ships as-is, evolves into something else, or gets scrapped entirely, we don't know for sure. Leaked or not, Skirmish is turning heads. If Activision plays its cards right, Black Ops 7 might just reinvent the multiplayer meta. 40-player chaos, wingsuit drops, objective layers—it's giving Modern Warfare vibes with a Black Ops twist. Let's just hope this one makes it past playtesting and into our hands. Because honestly? This is the kind of innovation CoD fans have been waiting for. Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story. Watch Episode 2 here.

Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 4 Reloaded is a little too quiet
Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 4 Reloaded is expected to launch very soon, but it's nowhere to be seen – and fans think it has been quietly delayed The much-anticipated Season 4 Reloaded update for Call of Duty has yet to materialise, leading players to suspect a quiet delay. Black Ops 6 hasn't done much to keep players engaged in its fourth season. Despite a steady stream of players spending time in Warzone, it's ironically the game that players have shelled out AAA prices for that is falling short. The game has failed to provide any new significant content to keep shooter fans hooked, and as it continues to release silly skins that many feel undermine the game's atmosphere, it seems as though it's starting to lose traction, especially now that fans have been waiting so long for the anticipated Black Ops 6 Zombies finale Janus Towers. It's frustrating, but there's also stiff competition on the field with the new Fortnite Squid Game Reload mode. It's high time that Call of Duty steps up its game. However, it appears that any new update has quietly stalled. After the Black Ops 7 reveal as part of summer's showcase season, it was thought that the mid-season Reloaded update for season 4 would be just around the corner. But as we pass its halfway point, it's still absolutely nowhere to be seen. So, what exactly is going on? And when is Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 4 Reloaded? Here's what we know. Why hasn't Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 4 Reloaded dropped yet? Gamers have been left puzzled as Call of Duty has yet to announce its Season 4 Reloaded update, leading many to believe it has been discreetly postponed. The ongoing Rivals event in Black Ops 6 was extended without any public notice, and with four weeks having elapsed since the release of Black Ops 6 Season 4 on Thursday, May 29, players have been anticipating at least an announcement, if not an update, which has yet to materialise. Adding to the intrigue, Call of Duty has been teasing the Season 4 Reloaded content without disclosing a launch date, announcing new Beavis and Butthead cosmetics on Twitter and discussing the update on the CoD Pod, all without giving any indication of a release date. Given this, it seems likely that Activision is taking its time until it is confident it can deliver the update promptly. With this in mind, we can anticipate that Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 4 will debut on either Thursday, July 3, or Thursday, July 10, in line with its usual release schedule, but this has yet to be confirmed. We'll have to wait for confirmations from Activision to know the truth, but at the moment, it appears that Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 4 Reloaded has been delayed. Hang in there, because it's coming. Probably.

Call of Duty current server status for June 25, 2025
Image via Activision. Is Call of Duty down right now? Let's explore the current server status for all the present games in the market. This franchise has become a staple in the world of video games, and as a result, a huge number of players still play this game regularly - be it Warzone, Black Ops 6, or Modern Warfare 3. Right now BO6 and Warzone are going through Season 4 and fans are eagerly waiting for the mid season refresh - Season 4 Reloaded. Amidst all the anticipation, the franchise has recently been hit by a massive server outage. Call of Duty experienced massive server breakdown It has been reported by many Call of Duty players that today many titles of this franchise like Black Ops 6, Warzone, Modern Warfare 3, Modern Warfare 2, and many more have been hit by a severe server outage. This outage was so drastic that it made the servers of the game go offline for close to half an hour. This was a big hit on Call of Duty HQ after Activision's decision to merge all the modern COD titles in this single app. This decision has now been slammed by the fans, as this massive outage affected all the games which are now under the same roof. Although Activision was quick to find a resolution of this situation and brought back the servers online, but it was pretty concerning keeping in mind the number of titles affected all together. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Adidas Three Shorts With 60% Discount, Limited Stock Available Original Adidas Shop Now Undo Call of Duty has previously faced a number of downtimes, like the one in April 3 in Warzone. That was actually a planned downtime in order to bring back Verdansk in the game. However, the recent 30-minute server outage wasn't in the plans and the Season 4 Reloaded update is still some days far away. That is why this recent issue raises many questions, especially security concerns behind the reason for this outage, like a DDoS attack or data leak. Another fact that makes the whole situation more cryptic is that Black Ops 4 was also reportedly affected with this server outage. Now, this title is not a part of the Call of Duty HQ app. So, fans are fearing that this server crash is not because of the heavy load on the app, there might be any other reason. As of now, all the Call of Duty games are running fine now, but as long as Activision holds the reason behind this server outage, concerns will continue to pile up.

Aaron Rodgers assures NFL fans they'll be free of him soon
It's easy to forget now, but health and wellness influencer Aaron Rodgers still does play professional football from time to time. Honestly, I don't know where the astute but edgy political commentator ("he's saying what we're all thinking!") even finds the time to throw a pigskin around like a 16-year-old teenage boy with no responsibilities who, in his time away from football, probably spends way too much time yelling hateful obscenities while playing Call of Duty and who never quite grew up. Not that the latter necessarily describes Rodgers, of course. Honestly, we, as football fans, should consider ourselves blessed that someone so deep and thought-provoking like Rodgers is still, technically, in the NFL, giving us exceedingly rare glimpses of a totally-not-washed-up legendary player he once was. Advertisement What a treat, really. Unfortunately for all of us — which includes Rodgers, his definitely-not-made-up wife who may or may not be in Canada (you wouldn't know her, obviously), and Rodgers' unassailable ego — we're probably not going to see him moonlight as a professional football player for much longer. And it's not because he's 41 years old and on the clear downslope of his tarnished career. He's just so busy and so important otherwise, you know? During a Tuesday appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers suggested that his 2025 NFL season with the Pittsburgh Steelers will be his last. According to Rodgers, that's why he wanted to play for the iconic Mike Tomlin before it was too late and why he only signed a one-year deal. No, no, NO. The one-year contract structure had nothing to do with Rodgers having one of the worst seasons of his entire career with the New York Jets last year, while he burned every possible bridge on the way out because Jets leadership just couldn't handle his supreme intellect. (It was their fault. They just don't get him.) Ugh, why would you even suggest something so disrespectful and factual? Who knows how serious Rodgers really is about walking away from the NFL and primarily letting us hear from him about revitalizing America again on various podcast platforms in the future? (There's no other way to say that, right?) Advertisement But if Rodgers is serious about hanging his shoulder pads up, it's been a pleasure. Truly. He knows that we need enterprising minds like his elsewhere. Allowing him to embarrass himself on the field, er, continue being one of the NFL's biggest stars would just be a huge waste of time. Kudos to him for seeing the forest for the trees and realizing his gifts can be utilized elsewhere. We can always count on Aaron Rodgers coming through for us.
