The Battle Begins on December 4, 2018. Are you prepared warzone bot lobby?

 Hold on tight, everyone. The Black Ops 7 Season 1 Roadmap has now been officially released - albeit earlier than intended by the developers - and the volume of content it contains is overwhelming.

 This isn’t a regular content drop, it’s a massive injection that mixes nostalgia with new and wild mechanics. Treyarch clearly wants to end 2018 with a bang.

 This breakdown is perfect if you're wondering if you should jump back in, or how you can prepare your loadouts.

 Multiplayer: A balance of nostalgia and innovation bo7 codes

 It's obvious from the map selection that the developers have a strong affinity for the Golden Era.

 Return of Legends

 Fate, Utopia and Odysseus are the first three spaces. This is a collection of three original areas from Black Ops 2.

 Fate (based upon the Menendez Mission) will make you feel the same way if you've played the original BO2 Story.

 Standoff Remastered is back. Its place in the competitive arena is legendary. Meltdown, a map not seen on the rotation in over 10 years, will be added later in season.

 Slayjack, the holiday version of "Christmas Nuketown", is here. Imagine Black Ops 3 Skyjacked with Santa taking over a cruise ship.

 Dynamic Warfare

 Takeover, a new party mode that is separate from other Carry Forward modes such as Prop Hunt and Sticks and Stones and Sticks and Stones Party Modes.

 It is a 6v6 mode of objective where you fight to capture three zones. Here's the twist: Once all zones have been taken, there is a cooling down period, after which all objectives teleport. It's important to keep moving, as you cannot camp at one locati0n.

 The Titan Falls: Endgame

 This could be the most insane patch of the whole season. The clock is ticking if you still haven't played the Endgame or finished the campaign.

 The Colossus at Avalon

 Yes, you read it right. Endgame will feature a World Event featuring an Origins Robot - the massive mechanical giant who crushed players during Zombies History.

 Tactical advice: The blog expressly recommends a Combat Score of 45 or above. Start grinding. If your operator isn’t yet there, you can still get the job done. It is important to destroy the core of this spacecraft before it re-enters orbit. Bring your squad, and think about equipping Black Hat to hack the systems.

 New Skill tracks

 The addition of 8 exotic skills, including Mega Punch and Frost Cloud (like Mega Punch) is a good thing. It's good news for alt characters with low levels. You can save them to the season launch and grind this new track.

 Zombies Cosmic Horror Saturn

 As a Zombies fan, I was really excited when I saw the Astra malorum key art.

 Map Setting: Astra Malorum

 We are headed to a ghostly observatorium floating in Saturn's rings. This isn’t just a reskin. It's a deep plunge into cosmic horror.

 New Wonder Weapon (LGM1) - It looks like an improved D13 Sector which shoots flying Saucers. This sounds like the crowd-control monster for high rounds.

 New Boss Oscar: A robot enemy equipped with Tesla fields, drone shields, and Tesla field. If you're facing him, stripping off his shields is more important than dumping ammo.

 Survival Maps in Directed mode

 Exit 5 is a pure survival map. Cosmos and Exit 5 are also available if you find the main quest too intimidating. Ashes is also getting Directed Mode. This is great if you don't want to memorize the wiki pages.

 Gobblegums & Augments

 Mule Kick Returns - The ability to carry up to three weapons, including the leaks of augments you've been looking forward to is now back.

 Elemental exposure: This new Gobblegum can change the game. This force your weapon to always deal with the elemental weakness. This cheat code is used in high rounds against mixed enemy types.

 \ Arsenal & Warzone Snapshot

 The Armory Expands

 The weapon list is stacked for Season 1.

 Maddox (AR), Black Ops IV's favorite, returns.

 Kagget 7: This shredder appears to have a high level of mobility.

 Hawker (Sniper), NXravager (Crossbow), and NX-Ravager (Sniper). The additions of a crossbow make Sticks and Stones a chaotic and authentic mode.

 Warzone Experiments

 Resurgence is getting Haven's Hollow based on Liberty Falls. But the experimental modifiers for LTMs - specifically Wall Running, and Grapple Hoops - are what caught my eye. Could this be an early test for future advanced movement integrations? We will just have to see.

 Frequently Asked questions (FAQs)

 What content will I be able to carry over from Black Ops 6, to Black Ops 7?

 A: Yes, a significant amount does. It includes modes such as Prop Hunt and Zombies Augments. Also, BO6 scoretreaks like the H.A.R.P. The loadouts for BO7, which will have no overclocking capabilities, will be added in mid-season.

 Q: What time can I play it?

 Season 1 premieres on 4th December.

 Q: Does the Origins Robot Boss remain in place?

 A: In Endgame it's listed as a World Event called "Launch Window". It appears according to the description when certain criteria is met. This is a priority that I recommend you do early in the campaign to find active lobbies.

 Q: Do you have any new camos?

 A: Absolutely. Astra Malorum offers its own Pack-a-Punch cosmos (Tier 1-3 look amazing) and leaderboard events which reward exclusive cosmetics.

 Your Action Plan - Conclusion

 Season 1 has a huge amount of content, and the addition of Endgame and Zombies adds depth.

 This is a checklist to help you prepare for the 4th of December.

 You can grind your rating by getting at least one operator up to Combat Rating 45+. You do not wish to be excluded from the Colossus combat on day 1.

 You can save double-XP tokens. They will be needed for the Battle Pass, and to buy that Kagget 7 SMG.

 Squad Up: This season's solo queueing will be tough, thanks to Takeover's tactical rotation or Astra Malorum boss fights.
