Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Will Very Soon Offer Three Different Matchmaking Systems, and You'd Be Right to Be Confused
Activision is adding a third matchmaking option to Black Ops 7, while players say a Black Ops 1 party bug still puts friends on opposing teams.
- Black Ops 7 introduced a new matchmaking system today alongside Season 5, drawing inspiration from recently released PlayStation ports of Black Ops 1 and 2 across Quick Play, Party Games, and Black Ops Classic playlists.
- Over the past year, Treyarch gathered player data and community feedback that influenced the redesign, as Black Ops 1 and 2 ports reignited debate between fans of classic, low-movement gameplay and modern Call of Duty titles.
- Meanwhile, Black Ops 1 on PS5 continues plaguing players weeks after launch, with Update 01.005.000 failing to fix the party matchmaking glitch that places friends on opposing teams, instead prioritizing Zombies hosts and input latency improvements.
- Community members responded with fury, flooding the official Call of Duty Updates page with complaints, including one user directly tagging developers and declaring the party system 'SUCKS IN THIS GAME' while demanding Activision and Iron Galaxy prioritize the fix.
- Treyarch cemented the Black Ops Classic mode as permanent in BO7 following weeks of positive sentiment, signaling developer commitment to the low-movement gameplay preferences that resurfaced with the classic ports.
