TL;DR: Call of Duty's upcoming game will introduce more limited-time modes (LTMs), but they're locked behind a $20-$30 Battle Pass paywall, shifting from previous free access. This change aims to enhance Battle Pass value with exclusive rewards, but may face backlash amid rising game prices and community concerns.

Limited-timed modes, or LTMs, are headed to Call of Duty, and while fans of the franchise may be excited to hear of periodically switching gamemodes, they may not be as thrilled to learn they will be placed behind the Battle Pass paywall.

That is according to serial leaker TheGhostofHope, known for their accurate Call of Duty leaks. According to Hope, Call of Duty is revising its Battle Pass strategy and including LTMs within the upcoming Call of Duty game, but to make the Battle Pass that much more enticing for players these LTMs will be locked behind the paywall, meaning players wanting to enjoy them will need to fork out $20 to $30 for the Battle Pass to be granted access.

If these rumors pan out to be true it will undoubtedly cause an uproar among the community of players, who are already battling with rumors that the next Call of Duty will be one of Xbox's first $80 games. For those who are out of the loop, Xbox recently announced it was increasing the price of its first party titles from the marketwide standard of $70 to $80, citing the current economic climate amid the newly implemented US export tariffs.

"Black Ops 7 will reportedly have more seasonal LTM's and some of them would be considered "higher value" with unique rewards and different game mechanics/modes BUT the only way to play the LTMs will be to have the battle pass unlike how it's currently free for everyone.

They are planning on taking the higher tier skins, loot, and crossover operators for LTMs and making them only accessible to Battle Pass owners instead of having the "Premium Event Track" we currently get during Reloaded updates," writes Hope
