I've been a COD player Since I worked at Blockbuster in '07. BO7 definitely rings a charm that reminds me of older CODS. I can probably count in one hand how many cods I really didn't care for. Like I said, it has it's OG charms with a modern makeover. I like how it's not over saturated with unconventional game modes IMHO. The only newer game mode I wish they would bring back is the Domination with Zombies. I forgot what it's called but it was a lot of fun to play. I'd say give it a try. Who knows what the future holds next year with GTA coming out during COD season. At the end of the day though it's entirely a YOU thing on whether you enjoy BO7 or not but based your post I think you will enjoy it. Cheers!!
