A new rumor from a credible insider suggests that Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 may reintroduce looping scorestreaks, a beloved yet divisive mechanic first seen in Call of Duty: World at War back in 2008. The leak comes from TheGhostOfHope, a well-known figure in the Call of Duty community with a strong track record for accurate information.
Treyarch Studios has yet to confirm whether looping scorestreaks will make the cut for Black Ops 7, but fans are already expressing excitement at the possibility. For the uninitiated, looping scorestreaks allow players to keep earning streak rewards within the same life, stacking them for as long as their momentum holds. While exhilarating for skilled players, the feature has also been criticized for creating one-sided matches when opponents dominate the scoreboard.
The mechanic has appeared sporadically throughout the franchise’s history, notably absent in Black Ops 6. If the rumors are accurate, its return could mark a major shift in multiplayer dynamics, catering to both nostalgia and high-skill gameplay.
The timing of this leak comes as Battlefield 6 enjoys massive success from its first open beta weekend, leaving many wondering how Black Ops 7 will compare. So far, fans have only seen a cinematic teaser from June, but the full worldwide reveal is set for August 19, when Activision is expected to showcase new and returning features.
As with any leak, players should take the news with caution until official confirmation arrives. Still, social media reactions show overwhelming support for the return of looping scorestreaks. Twitter user BSoloe commented, “This should just be in every [Call of Duty] by default,” while Frankie added that it feels “next to impossible” to carry a team in Black Ops 6 without them.
With the reveal just days away, the community won’t have to wait long to find out if this 16-year-old feature is truly making a comeback.
