Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 already faces calls for new overpowered feature to be binned

Streamers, content creators, professional gamers and more were given the first chance to play Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 at a huge event in Las Vegas on Tuesday (September 30).

And already, there have been widespread calls for Activision to remove what looks to be a massively overpowered feature a Call of Duty world champion managed to check out.

Call of Duty: Next took place where loads of new updates were shared about Black Ops 7 and Warzone with creators and professionals given their first hands-on session with Black Ops 7 ahead of the beta going live imminently.

A clip has gone viral of double Call of Duty world champion Simp using what seems to be a hugely overpowered scorestreak called Gravedigger.

He used a sniper with a thermal scope which allowed him to see other players - but this didn't matter if there were any walls or objects between him and others and he could shoot at them, causing damage or kills too.

Pros and more casual gamers alike have been unanimous in their calls for this to be removed, with some saying it's putting them off checking out Black Ops 7 altogether.

In the comments on the post, one said: "We... Will be on Battlefield 6 lol."

"Will play Battlefield instead," a second agreed.

A third added: "If I'm two off a nuke and get killed from that s***, straight uninstall."

"HELLLLLL NOOOOO 😭😭😭" a fourth exclaimed.

And a fifth said: "Never thought I'd see the day when we get COD with integrated wall hacks."
