The contents of the Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Vault Edition have leaked online, immediately sparking debate among players. The designs of the launch skins turned out to be bright, fantastical, and far removed from the series’ usual gritty military style.

What the leak revealed

The bundle includes vibrant and unusual skins, such as an operator inspired by the revamped bus driver from the classic Tranzit map, several futuristic outfits, unique weapon blueprints, and other digital bonuses. The designs clearly stray from the franchise’s traditional military aesthetics.

Player reactions 

Some fans expressed disappointment, saying the new looks feel too cartoonish and don’t match the spirit of Black Ops. Comments describe it as a “bad first impression,” with concerns that the franchise is moving too far from its roots. 

It seems the developers are doubling down on expanding cosmetic options, even if it clashes with the expectations of part of the player base. Whether this approach pays off will become clear after the game’s release, but the initial discussion already points to a mixed reception.

Only time will tell whether these bold cosmetic choices will win over the wider community or push traditional fans further away, but one thing is certain — Black Ops 7 is shaping up to be one of the most visually distinctive entries in the series.
