About
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is a fast-paced, tactical shooter where players choose from a cast of veteran characters, each with unique Perks that give an edge in combat. Competitive play centers on three modes: Search and Destroy, where one team defends bomb sites while the other attempts to plant them; Overload; where teams bring the Overload Device to two zones on the map; and Hardpoint, featuring rotating points that teams must hold to earn points.
Call of Duty has remained one of the most iconic shooters in video game history. Its best professional players will compete for a $1.8 million prize pool, demonstrating skill, teamwork, and strategy at the highest level.
