Note: This review specifically covers the multiplayer in Call of Duty: ****** Ops 7. For our thoughts on the other modes, see our campaign review, and our Zombies mode review is still on its way. After a very promising multiplayer beta at the start of October, Call of Duty: ****** Ops 7 is here and I'm already back on my *********. After a brief hiatus, I've been playing every year since the multiplayer-only ****** Ops IIII (yes, that was the title), and I always have a good time. I mean, functionally and mechanically, it's consistently solid – but it's the stuff in and around that core which makes or breaks Call of Duty’s multiplayer. For ****** Ops 7, they've refined last year’s already razor sharp ****** Ops 6 with the addition of wall running and jumping mechanics, as well as smoothed off some of the rough edges in the user interface and weapons tracking. I've only played around four hours so far, so I have a lot more to see on the live servers before my final review, but this might end up being my favorite CoD multiplayer since ****** Ops Cold War. Probably the biggest change to BLOPS7 is also its most subtle: skill-based matchmaking (or SBMM) is no longer the default in multiplayer, and the vocal online community that has been crying for this couldn't be happier. Is the wider, more casual Call of Duty audience going to be just as excited? I'm guessing no once they feel the effects of this decision for themselves. This might be a controversial take, but I really think SBMM is what keeps the vast majority of people playing, even if they don't realize it or actually know what that is in the first place. What I said about Call of Duty: ****** Ops 6's Multiplayer With ****** Ops 6, Treyarch and Raven Software have taken almost everything I love about the Call of Duty multiplayer experience and given it a beautiful polish. The maps are excellent, built to please almost everyone's favorite gun styles. The meat and potatoes – moving quick and dishing out firepower – is aces this year; it's fast without feeling too twitchy, and the weapons dispatch your opponents in exactly the way you expect them to. The Omnimove system is fun and flashy, which makes for some great highlights but doesn’t completely take over as the best technique for every situation. I do wish there were more new and innovative modes to explore, but that’s about the only thing I feel draws fire other than the initial lack of goofy skins available. Overall, Call of Duty: ****** Ops 6 shines because although it plays a lot of things safe, it does the fundamentals of multiplayer combat in a way that feels better than it has in a long time. I am having an absolutely awesome time with it. - Seth Macy, October 28, 2024 Score: 8 Read my full Call of Duty: ****** Ops 6 multiplayer review. [/url] The default playlists in BLOPS7 now only minimally consider the skill of the people it puts into a match together while filling a lobby. That means you're getting thrown in with players who run the gamut, from complete newbs to the most hardcore of the hardcore. If you're used to the old SBMM system, the result here is that you're probably going to think you really ***** at Call of Duty all of a sudden. I never held any sort of delusions about my own skills, and I didn’t need to be a pro to have fun, but stripping away the veneer of only facing players at a similar level as myself has been pretty humbling – almost shockingly so. I'm seeing replays from players who are unlike anything I've faced in the past. "Is this guy cheating– oh, nope, he's just insanely good, hell yeah." It’s nice that both those who like SBMM and those who don't can be satisfied. The obvious upside to this (other than satisfying the frequent cries for it in recent years) is it's going to force a lot of people to get better. But the downside is that it can be very frustrating until you do, especially if you’ve only ever been used to a level playing field. That’s why I think it's awesome BLOPS7 does still have SBMM matches available if you want them. It's not obvious, but there is a classic matchmaking lobby that pairs you with people near your current skill level. My personal prediction is that they'll shift the default back to SBMM once the Christmas CoD crowd starts logging on for the first time, but it’s still nice that both camps can be satisfied. (Protip: use the SBMM lobbies to grind out your levels and weapons, and then dive into the default matchmaking when you feel confident. It's the best of both worlds. You can do all the level and camo grinding against people near your own skill level, and then jump back into the Wild West to hone your actual skills. Have some cake. Eat it, too.) Smoothing the Already Smooth Edges None of this takes away from the fact BLOPS7 multiplayer is super fun, and it's done away with a lot of the things I found annoying in previous years. As I mention nearly every time I review CoD multiplayer, I love going hard trying to unlock all the skins for all the weapons for the first three or four months at least. This year, there's a new, wonderful tracker you can instantly access from the lobby between matches. It's right there with your Dailies, showing you stuff like how many more headshots you need with the AK-27 to unlock the next camo. This is so awesome for collectors like me. Previously, the move was to jump into the weapon menu and check your customizations, then open up the camo menu and check your progress. It was cumbersome and annoying and ate up time between matches you could otherwise be using to make adjustments to your loadout, if you wanted. Now, with the press of a button, *****! Another feature I'm loving is the ability to reroll your daily challenges. Let's say one of them requires you to get three kills with a melee weapon, but you'd rather not. Give it a reroll, my friend, and now you can try out something new. Of course, you run the risk of getting something crappier, but that's gambling for you. You can reroll one challenge once a day, and if you end up with something worse, well, it's no different than the old system. One very small gripe I do have with the interface is the weapons menu will tell me I have new unlocks but not which ones, so then I have to go through and manually hunt them down. I'm the kind of person who'll do "select all – mark as read" on my personal emails rather than have that notification number above the icon, so not being able to easily clear this gives my brain some mild discomfort. I'd love an option to immediately show you only the unlocks you haven't checked out yet. 20v20 Skirmish New this year is the 20v20 Skirmish mode. Set on very large maps, it feels quite Battlefield-y so far. I much preferred the Ground War 100-player mode from 2019's Modern Warfare and still want that to come back, as Skirmish just doesn't hit the same notes. You spawn with your team and move in to capture and control various points across the map. It's basically a giant version of Hardpoint, but with vehicles and certain high-value designations that help you accumulate points. When you die, you have a 10-second respawn and then you wingsuit back onto the map. I've only played Skirmish for a couple rounds so far, and I dunno, man – it just hasn’t felt like it comes together in a cohesive way yet. The maps are giant, but not Warzone huge, and I'm having a hard time feeling out a playstyle that works for me. Sniping fools from the rooftops while they try and hold the point is fun, but you're also completely wide open to getting blasted since everyone respawns from the air. And those reentries are not like the slow parachutes in Warzone, either. The wingsuit lets you travel fast and gives you a lot of mobility. You can land basically anywhere on the map, so if a pesky sniper has you pinned down, well, just respawn, land near their sniper nest, and let them have it. You're almost incentivized to die just to get a better position on the field. When a point spawns inside a structure, it's not really fun to protect from the outside for the aforementioned reasons, but it's also not really that fun to try and hold from the inside. It's very chaotic, but not in an exciting way. I'm going to see if I can figure out a playstyle that satisfies my particular tastes, but right now I don't see myself playing Skirmish much after I finish up this review. Moving, Grooving As I mentioned in my beta impressions (which you can read in full down below), the addition of wall jumps has made movement around the map that much more fun. That said, the tactical sprint is no longer available as a default option, but instead is a Perk now. I still find myself double-tapping the Shift key to try and get that extra boost of speed, but it’s not a huge loss when sprinting off walls and flying through the air is way more fun, anyway. I really love bouncing off walls to get the literal drop on opponents, and when someone gets me by jumping from around a corner, guns blazing, all I can do is nod and give them a mental thumbs up. Somehow being able to run and jump off walls makes the overall gameplay feel faster, even without Tac Sprint. Definitely my favorite update to the Omnimove system. Last year it really felt like Omnimove was designed with controller-players in mind, and while that's still the case, the wall jump mechanic works just like any regular movement and is great for mouse and keyboard purists like myself. I'm very excited to jump back into the multiplayer for Call of Duty: ****** Ops 7. I haven't played it enough to declare a favorite map, although I will say Den and Retrieval are already my favorites in terms of looks. I still have to figure out my strategies for all the launch maps, and I still have to get good enough to get that sweet Play of the Game I've been chasing since the servers went live. But I’m having a lot of fun so far, and should have a final, scored review in the next week or so. Original beta impressions - October 3, 2025 I look forward to the Call of Duty multiplayer beta each fall in the same way I look forward to the return of pumpkin spice lattes: I know exactly what I'm in for, and I always savor that first warm, familiar sip. This year's closed beta is the blast of violent, nutmeg-infused flavor I've been looking for since that first northerly chill swept across the land, and while it definitely feels like the CoD I’ve come to expect, there are a few new features I'm already really enjoying and a few more I'm really looking forward to unlocking. I installed the beta Thursday afternoon and had planned to play it well into the night, rallying my dedicated group of Call of Duty friends (the Beef Lords) to join in on the fun. In fact, playing with the boys is absolutely my favorite thing about CoD, and even a given year’s iteration is only so-so, we still have a good time together. Sadly, and I can't really fault it since this is a closed beta, every time I tried to squad up with my friends, I had a hard ******. In fact, it felt like I spent more time waiting for BLOPS7 to restart than I did in matches. That's a huge bummer, because I just want to run around shooting strangers in the face with my bros. Eventually I was able to get into a few matches with one friends, and good old Call of Duty fun was had by all. It still crashed, but only after a few matches this time. I had initially planned to hit the level 20 cap last night, but with all the time I wasted rebooting not only the BLOPS7 beta but also my PC, I was only able to make it to level 14. I know. I'm not proud. Crashing aside, and no surprise here, but I’ve had a blast with what I’ve been able to play so far. I mean, it's Call of Duty, where the whole point is either to rack up as many kills as possible, or hold an objective… while also racking up as many kills as possible. I truly believe no one does it better than CoD, at least when it comes to gunplay. It's razor-sharp every damn year. It works exactly how I want it to work, it feels exactly how I want it to feel. It's as dependable as the sun rising in the east each morning. Omnimovement, Omnimprovement The biggest and most immediate changes this year are updates to the Omnimove system first introduced in last year's ****** Ops 6. If you're not familiar, Omnimovement is a control mechanic that lets you perform John Woo-esque flights of gun-firing fancy, while also allowing you to move around more naturally when you're on the ground. Previously, dropping prone would reduce your target size but would render your movement slow and cumbersome. Omnimovement lets you slide to prone and do sick dolphin dives, mantle walls, and look like an action movie star in everyone else's clips, firing your weapon with 360-degrees of aiming movement while on your back. This year's Omnimovement system adds wall running and wall jumping to your arsenal. It basically lets you hop around the map like Jiminy Cricket, as you can chain up to three wall jumps together. It's really fun, though I haven't really used it tactically so far. Mostly I'm flying off walls just because it feels awesome, and if I happen to get the literal drop on an enemy, all the better. It also makes moving around the map faster and gives you an advantage over mantling. When you mantle a ledge, your arms can't be used to shooting, on account of them being used to pull you up and onto that ledge. On top of that, it's kind of slow, and an opponent can use this to their advantage. You're basically a sitting duck until you get your feet all the way up, and those few moments can be the difference between life and death… well, usually death and a different kind of death. Wall jumps change that, because rather than mantle over a ledge in the traditional way, you can just bounce off the wall and make your way to the top without using your arms. You never have to put away your weapon – heck, you don't even need to stop firing your weapon. It takes away that moment of complete vulnerability, and as long as there's a wall nearby and the next level up is reachable within three jumps, you can parkour your way to victory. Wall jumping might be my favorite addition to BLOPS7 so far. It's easier said than done, mind you, and I'm not yet skilled enough to consistently hit shots when I'm going up or down from a wall jump. But it's still fun as hell, and might be my favorite addition to BLOPS7 so far. BLOPS7 Beta Maps There are three maps in the closed beta: Cortex, The Forge, and Exposure. They're fine. They're not bad maps by any means, and I do like playing on them, but nothing about them really stands out to me in the way some of the maps from BLOPS6 did, either. Last year's Rewind map, with its super long corridors and building interiors, was one of my favorites, as was Skyline, with its secret passageway, various hiding spots, and multiple levels. Then again, the maps in last year's beta were even worse (I’m looking at you, Babylon), so the middling nature of these is probably not an indication of overall quality. Cortex is probably my favorite of the three this year just because it has everything I like in a map: outside lanes with the possibility of falling to your death, tight interiors to come face-to-face with opps, as well as medium-length interiors and exteriors that work well with LMGs, SMGs, and assault rifles. It lends itself really well to deathmatch and objective-based modes. Plus it has some sweet sci-fi incubator tanks where I presume the super soldiers of tomorrow are being grown from the cells of past heroes. Exposure is a larger map, and has a lot of cool opportunities to really feel out the wall jumping and running. There's a dangling shipping container on the map that might as well have a Wile E. Coyote-esque sign on it saying "WALL JUMP HERE." Meanwhile, The Forge is pretty big, but it doesn't really have any super long, open lanes for snipers to trade lead back and forth. That's not to say there aren't some great opportunities to do just that, but it doesn't have the same feel as last year's Rewind, with its back alley and strip mall-front. The Forge might not be my favorite map of the three, but it does have one of my favorite environmental features so far: a spinning, four-piece circular wall in the center of the map. During modes like hardpoint, the hardpoint will spawn in that area and people take turns either hiding behind or popping out from those spinning walls. It adds an extra layer of unpredictability when you're trying to hold an objective that I really like. You can't just lay prone with a sniper and peek around a corner, because the corner moves. That being said, there are a pair of lookouts on either side, so you can keep watch of the objective or just pick people off as they try to bumrush it. It's great. Even in deathmatch or Kill Confirmed it's fun, but it's really cool for Hardpoint and Domination. The Forge has one of my favorite environmental features. According to the official BLOPS7 blog, there's a fourth map, Imprint. Either I've just had terrible RNG luck or they haven't actually turned that one on yet, because I haven’t seen it so far. I'm going to play the hell out of BLOPS7 over the weekend, so that could change. Guns and Guns Once you unlock all the level requirements, there are a total of 16 available guns. Right now, and I hope Treyarch is reading this, the M10 Breacher, the default shotgun, is stupidly overpowered. You can nail enemies from way farther away than the laws of physics should allow right out of the gate, and they'll fall down dead when you do so. You barely need to aim it to get a kill across a large room. That sort of shotgun behavior is fine, even expected, at close range, or when you've leveled up and thrown a bunch of attachments on it. But as a default gun, it's just too powerful. On the flip side, and this is something I never expected I'd say, but the XR-3 ION sniper rifle is exactly where it should be, power wise. Usually I feel like sniper rifles lean toward being way too OP. Don't get me wrong, I still hate snipers, and I still think people who use snipers on small maps are weak and their bloodlines are weak. But when you get a kill with the XR-3 it feels earned. There's a level of finesse here I'm not accustomed to with previous sniper rifle iterations, and I've actually used it without feeling like a dirty sniperboy. I've always loved SMGs in Call of Duty, but none of the three available this year are doing it for me as of yet. They feel a tad too weak, which is usually the case, but it's generally made up for by a high rate of fire and lighting-fast speed of handling. I'm going to have to wait and see on the SMGs until progress is fully unlocked, but for right now, they don't feel quite like they should, as if it takes one or two bullets more than I’d expect to down an opponent. I also don't love the LMG, the Mk. 78. Similarly to the SMGs, it feels like it takes a millisecond or two too long to effectively down an enemy. I'm going to need more time with that one as well to see how it ends up running when it's fully kitted out, but for right now I'm not feeling it at all. The Assault Rifles this year are, much like last year, where it's at. The Assault Rifles this year are, much like last year, where it's at. While in previous years I ran with SMGs or LMGs, in BLOPS6 I fell madly in love with my XM4 assault rifle. This year I've been grinding on the M15 MOD 0, but I'm a level away from unlocking the Peacekeeper Mk.1 in the beta, which might be the best weapon in multiplayer, hands down. At Call of Duty Next, it felt like everyone was using it, so I’m excited to try it out again from the comfort of my own desk. I've got an entire weekend with the closed beta, and I plan to hit that level cap and unlock as much as it will let me. The open beta next week will let you grind to level 30, and the best part is all your progress will carry over to the final game. I'm hoping CoD keeps to its promises, because the new features sound pretty sick: trading loadouts with friends and even copying them from enemies who killed you, XP carrying across all modes instead of on a per-mode basis, and the ability to re-roll the daily challenges, which I love. Also, the final game promises some of the sweetest gun camos yet, and I'm really excited to spend hours and hours of time I'll never get back just so I can have a gun that's all shiny. Until then, I'm really enjoying BLOPS7, and I’ll be back with a full review around launch. View the full article

There are many unique collections you can work on in The Sims 4, but the Adventure Awaits Gibbi Point Butterflies and Moths one is an especially tricky collection to complete. There's a really cool display for this collection, though, so it's certainly worth tackling. All Butterflies and Moths have precise spawn locations, and many also have some prerequisites you need to meet before they'll appear. You're not given a whole lot of information to work with, so finding them all on your own can be tough. Here are all Gibbi Point Butterflies and Moths, and where to find them in The Sims 4 Adventure Awaits. Table of contentsHow to complete the Gibbi Point Butterflies and Moths collection in The Sims 4How to get all Gibbi Point Butterflies and Moths in The Sims 4How to complete the Gibbi Point Butterflies and Moths collection in The Sims 4 Screenshot by Destructoid To finish the Gibbi Point Butterflies and Moths collection, you must find and catch all 14 Butterflies and Moths around the world in the Adventure Awaits expansion pack. These special creatures can be placed in the Gibbi Point Butterfly and Moth Habitat item, which you can purchase from Buy Mode for 600 Simoleons. It's a bit costly, but it's a really special item that's unlike anything other collections have, so it's certainly worth buying. If you need to earn some quick cash, consider tackling the Peculiar Plumbird's missions, including Tangible Traces, Feeding Frenzy, Local Legends, and Community Spirit. How to get all Gibbi Point Butterflies and Moths in The Sims 4 There are 10 Butterflies and four Moths you can find around Gibbi Point. Butterflies can only be caught during the day, while Moths can only be captured at night. Some of these critters also have a few other conditions that must be met before they'll appear, so here's a full breakdown of how to find each one.

Pokémon Pocket's latest set is a very odd Ducklett indeed. Rather than bringing out a batch of new cards, the designers have given us a bunch of reprints. The 'deluxe pack ex' is a celebration of the first year of the game and a chance for players both old and new to catch up on their collection, picking up some ex cards and some important staples that they may have missed. It also seems to be deeply unpopular, and could prove dire for the long-term health of the app. Read the rest of the story...

****** Ops 7 is now live for PC and console players, and you can enhance your experience by changing the graphics if you're on the former. PC users, as always, will be able to make more tweaks and customizations to maximize their hardware. Playing with settings that feel smooth on your PC is essential. Minimal stutters and lags will be key to hitting those elusive kill streaks. Table of contentsBest tips and tricks for smooth graphics in ****** Ops 7Best ****** Ops 7 graphics settingsBest tips and tricks for smooth graphics in ****** Ops 7 You'll need to check some basics to get the best performance out of your hardware. Update the graphics: The first thing you should do is check if your graphics drivers are updated to the latest version. If not, auto-download the newest version and install it before playing the full version.Cap the FPS: Unless you have a superior graphics card, it might be better to cap the FPS to 90/60 (depending on your system). This will ensure no frame drops during a crucial moment in the battle.Download the shaders: While they can load and install while you're live in a game, it's better to wait. The shaders don't take long (depending on your settings), and the performance will improve once the download and installation process is complete.Best ****** Ops 7 graphics settings My hardware consists of a Ryzen 5600G, 16 GB of DDR5 RAM, and 12 GB of Nvidia RTX 3060 graphics. These are the current graphics I am using, and the performance so far has been pretty smooth.

Another Call of Duty, another roster of guns to learn. As is the case with every CoD game, ****** Ops 7 has a dearth of new weapons to level up and choose from when it's time to squad up with your homies and trounce unsuspecting players online. Or, if you're like me, play solo and get absolutely choke-slammed by skill-based matchmaking and question every decision you've ever made. Things will quickly change as Treyarch balances the game, but here are our picks for the best guns in BO7 so far in the first days and weeks after full launch. Table of contents****** Ops 7 meta gunsM8A1 (Marksman Rifle)Peacekeeper MK1 (Assault Rifle)MXR-17 (Assault Rifle)Dravec 45 (SMG)VS Recon (Sniper Rifle)Velox 5.7 (Pistol)****** Ops 7 meta guns Screenshot by Destructoid M8A1 (Marksman Rifle) The M8 from ****** Ops 2 is back. This time, it's a marksman rifle and not an AR, but it's just as powerful, if not even better. The M8A1 has one-burst kill potential at mid-range if you hit the enemy in the chest or above. It feels pretty gnarly, but it loses out to weapons with higher mobility when dealing with omnimovement. Peacekeeper MK1 (Assault Rifle) The Peacekeeper is another returning gun from BO2. The SMG/AR hybrid is a pure AR this time around, and it offers easily the best mobility and handling when it comes to ARs so far, meaning that it helps out a lot when running and gunning with BO7's wall-jumping and omnimovement. MXR-17 (Assault Rifle) Screenshot by Destructoid My favorite AR for long-range so far, the MXR-17 is reminiscent of the TAQ-56 from recent CoD games and Warzone. While it's slow-firing compared to other guns, it's powerful as hell and can hold its own at a distance. You will likely be out-maneuvered, but if you keep your distance or post up on a wall or head-glitch, you can deal some big damage. Dravec 45 (SMG) The Dravec 45 is the top pick for most submachine gun players so far, boasting the best mobility and firepower in class. With 36-round magazines by default, there's more than enough bullets to take down anything that moves at close range, and it holds its own at mid-range, too. VS Recon (Sniper Rifle) Screenshot by Destructoid This is the best of the two sniper rifles thus far, as bolt-action snipers tend to be in CoD. If you're accurate, you could one-shot enemies in the chest or above at just about any range in the game. Velox 5.7 (Pistol) The best pistol I've found thus far is this burst pistol, which is reminiscent of the B23R from BO2. It can be auto-fired without having to tap the trigger, and it's excellent to switch to and finish off enemies who are weaker at mid-range.

It's odd to say, but I've recently started to feel that it's the complex board games, not the dead simple ones, that really seal the deal when you're trying to win friends over into the hobby. That's not because complexity appeals to noobs; as a Warhammer evangelist, I can tell you it doesn't. It's because the experience of feeling a complicated, beautiful game fall into place is far more addictive than replaying straightforward ones over and over. And no game in recent memory has shown me this more plainly than Leder Games' magnificent new board game, Arcs: Conflict and Collapse in the Reach. Read the rest of the story...
