The Cursed Mode of Black Ops 7 is not merely another difficulty mod - it is actually the attempt by Treyarch to strike a balance between nostalgia and new challenge, and getting it is based on a community-wide level of achievement. It means that in the case of CoD BO7 Boosting , somebody, somewhere, must complete the first Zombies Easter egg in the game, Ashes of the Damned. 

The Easter egg in itself is not a stroll in the park. The largest launch Zombies map in Black Ops 7 to date, Ashes of the Damned, is also inspired by Tranzit, but introduces new terrors such as the Zulsar, a giant, parasite-infested bear that crashes into teams. The puzzle will require collaborative effort, familiarity with the map, and is likely to require some late-night theory sessions on Reddit. But as soon as it is done everybody opens Cursed Mode.

It will be a no frills experience. There will be no minimap and that way you will have to memorize the enemy spawns rather than HUD indications. Beginning with a pistol gives you only the option to sharpen the weapon, as in the olden time. The traditional Black Ops III point system substitutes the contemporary economies, and each kill or each trap activation is counted.

But Cursed Mode is not about depriving oneself of things, it is about providing challenge that is valuable. It has a secret weapon: the relic system: items that permanently debuff your runs. One of you can limit your perks to four, another can strip them off. The second and the third relics increase the difficulty in the changes in the later plays, yet they become more rewarding, specifically, once you access the classified blueprints and the calling cards.

Cursed Mode is further tempting with its tweaks to the high-round gameplay by Treyarch. They are polishing Pack-a-Punch damage and introducing SMG close-range bonuses, which means that skillful players will be able to survive more of the rounds. They also are nerfing spammy equipment such as saw traps, so strategy wins over tricks.

To those who are long time fans, Cursed Mode brings them back to the essence that made Zombies so exciting tension, teamwork, and the feeling that you are going to do something you can not do.  And since it opens up around the world, it will be a moment that will unite the whole community, be it watching streams or playing cheap CoD BO7 Boosting , it will be one completion of an Easter egg at a time.
