> > The Cult of Jason Blundell #CallofDutyZombies #MagicFractal Beloved Call of Duty Zombies director Jason Blundell has weathered two failed studios and PlayStation deals since leaving Treyarch. Now, he’s trying it for a third time, and the enthusiasm supporting him doesn’t seem to be waning. Edward Lee speaks to those close to Blundell to understand why. “It was and still is surreal.

I often find myself conflicted about my love for Call of Duty. It’s a series I’ve found extremely influential, yet having grown up alongside it and all the baggage it has accumulated, I ask myself: Is this still the same COD from the golden era of Modern Warfare to Black Ops 2? Is the series worth fighting for, or has it become a soulless husk, obscured by the smoke of desperate concessions to fan feedback? Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 offers little in the way of a straight answer.

We’re only a few days removed from the Black Ops 7 reveal. Sick of the discourse yet? I sure am! I’ve been dodging the rage bait and bad-faith takes, but it’s no secret that many Call of Duty players are genuinely burnt out on the series. If you’re one of them, I sympathise. It’s never a pleasant feeling to lose the spark, especially when many of us have been playing Call of Duty for over a decade. Still, I can only call it like I see it: I think Black Ops 7 looks great.
