Call Of Duty's April Fools Joke Brings The Franchise's Smallest Map And A Dead Meme

Call of Obligation has featured famously small maps like Cargo earlier than, however Black Ops 7 takes issues additional for April Fools’ Day, including a hilariously tiny map in a limited-time sport mode.

Developer Treyarch shared what seemed just like the structure of a small map on social media, and you’ll play on it proper now. The sport mode known as “GRWM” (an acronym for “prepare with me”) places you in a free-for-all match with a max of eight gamers in what seems to be a walk-in closet or altering room, probably the most intimate setting for a firefight that Call of Obligation has conceived.

Unsurprisingly, with all gamers collectively in such shut quarters and little or no cowl, chaos and carnage observe as quickly because the match begins. Matches finish as soon as a participant reaches a rating of 67, a not-so-subtle reference to the 6-7 meme that has arguably gone out of vogue.

Taking part in the GRWM mode is an opportune time to grind and stage up your character and weapons, particularly since double XP is active today. There’s no official phrase from Treyarch or Activision on whether or not this joke mode and double XP interval will solely final for April Fools’ Day, however it might be unsurprising if that had been the case.

This is not the primary time Call of Obligation has pulled an April Fools’ prank like this before–for the Fashionable Warfare reboot, Infinity Ward made an April Fools’ playlist known as “COD Gamers Solely Need One Factor” that put gamers in 10v10 matches on Cargo.

Different firms have joined within the April Fools’ enjoyable this yr, with PUBG: Battlegrounds, Fortnite, and Pokemon Pokopia among the many different titles including gags to their gameplay.
