Call of Duty Fans Think Black Ops 7 Is Mocking Battlefield 6

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 fans think the shooter just mocked Battlefield 6 after EA revealed a rather lackluster roadmap for its delayed Season 2 update, which is set to launch early next week. While Battlefield 6 had a massively successful launch last year, becoming the best-selling game of 2025, the same could not be said for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. However, there has been a stark contrast between the two shooters’ post-launch support, with one being far better than the other.

When it comes to first-person shooters, it doesn’t get much bigger than Call of Duty and Battlefield. The two franchises, one owned by Activision and the other by EA, have been going head-to-head for over two decades. And while it’s usually Call of Duty that comes out on top, with annual releases that often dominate the sales charts, things took an unexpected turn last year when Battlefield 6 launched to rave reviews and became the best-selling game of 2025. Unfortunately, many believe the shooter is dropping the ball when it comes to post-launch support, as the amount of content being released by Battlefield Studios pales in comparison to Black Ops 7.

New Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Gun is Completely and Utterly Overpowered

A new gun added to Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 for Season 2 seems to be so overpowered that even missing a shot can be a good thing.

Black Ops 7 Fans Believe Call of Duty Just Took a Shot at Battlefield 6

Earlier this week, publisher EA and developer Battlefield Studios pulled back the curtain and revealed the full Season 2 roadmap for Battlefield 6. When the update launches on February 17, players will be able to check out a brand-new map, a new limited-time mode, new vehicles, new weapons, and plenty of gameplay improvements. Further updates will arrive on March 17 and April 14, adding another new map and more, but many fans don’t believe this is enough. One user responded to the roadmap by saying, “Two maps is baffling, genuinely what is this company doing.” This is a sentiment that was shared by much of the community, with another pointing, “There’s more limited time modes than actual maps…”

When compared to the Season 2 roadmap for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, it’s fair to say that developer Treyarch Studios is absolutely bringing the heat. The amount of content being added to the game seems to be so high, that Activision recently took to Twitter to say that it was going to need a second roadmap for the Season 2 Reloaded update in a few weeks, which many took to be a jab at Battlefield 6. One user said the studio was “flexing their roadmaps,” while CharlieIntel owner Keshav said Call of Duty is throwing shade at Battlefield 6 over its Season 2 content. A separate post on Reddit echoes a similar sentiment, with one user saying, “[Black Ops 7] has added like 17 maps in the time [Battlefield 6] added like 4. It’s no contest.”

Many were expecting much more from Season 2 of Battlefield 6, as the upcoming content update was delayed by over a month to allocate more development time to the second season. Season 1 initially due to end in mid-January, but Battlefield Studios announced that the first season would be extended in order to allow the studio more time to work on Season 2. In a blog post released last month, the developer said it had continued to review community feedback and opted to delay the next season in order to keep its promise of delivering content-rich updates.

Although Battlefield 6 ended 2025 strong, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 appears to be thrashing the shooter on consoles this year. Battlefield 6 may remain one of the most-played games on Steam, just below the likes of ARC Raiders and Counter-Strike, but it seems to have failed to even make a dent in PlayStation and Xbox figures. Call of Duty, on the other hand, was the second most played game across the two platforms for the week ending January 17, only being beaten by the free-to-play monster that is Fortnite.
