Rumor Suggests Black Ops 7 Could Revive Classic Looping Scorestreaks

A trusted Call of Duty leaker claims that Black Ops 7 may reintroduce looping scorestreaks—a fan-favorite mechanic first seen in 2008’s World at War. While Treyarch hasn’t confirmed the feature, the rumor alone has sparked plenty of excitement among long-time players.

The news comes as Battlefield 6 enjoys a strong start with its first open beta weekend, raising the stakes for Activision’s next Call of Duty. So far, fans have only caught a glimpse of Black Ops 7 in a cinematic trailer shown back in June, but a full worldwide reveal is set for August 19. That showcase will likely highlight both fresh mechanics and the return of popular features from past entries.

What Are Looping Scorestreaks?
Looping scorestreaks allow players to keep earning streak rewards within the same life, creating high-risk, high-reward momentum. While thrilling for the player on a roll, they can be brutal for opponents, which has made the feature somewhat divisive. The mechanic wasn’t part of Black Ops 6, but according to leaker TheGhostOfHope, it could be back for the next game.

TheGhostOfHope has a strong track record with Call of Duty leaks, though fans are still advised to treat the claim as speculation until official confirmation arrives. Still, many in the community are hopeful. One fan even stated, “This should be in every Call of Duty by default,” while another argued it’s “almost impossible” to carry a team in Black Ops 6 without looping streaks.

Competition Heats Up
With Battlefield seemingly making a big comeback, offering highly requested features could help Activision keep its edge in the FPS market. While Call of Duty traditionally leads sales charts, Battlefield 6’s open beta recently surpassed CoD’s all-time peak concurrent players on Steam—a stat that may have caught Activision’s attention.
