Black Ops 7 celebrates April Fools with a map that’s a tiny bedroom—and it should stay

Today is the best worst day of the year, where everyone plays with our feelings just to get a good laugh out of it. And while some April Fools' jokes are completely harmless and disappear as fast as they came around, some have actual effects, for better or for worse. But what Black Ops 7 did on this occasion certainly falls in the former category, as a new map called GRWM (standing for Get Ready With Me) puts players into a tiny bedroom to duke it out in complete chaos. Yeah, you've read that right: it's just a single room, a very small one at that, where a good number of players are supposed to determine who's the more skilled, or rather, who can spam grenades the fastest. On top of that, players need to reach a 67-kill goal to win, which is a direct play on the 6-7 meme that is thankfully on its way out. Either that or I'm just getting too old to keep up with the kids these days, which I'm inclined to think is probably true.https://twitter.com/MrDalekJD/status/2039391639223865524 GRWM is certainly the tiniest map the franchise has ever seen. It's barely big enough to stand in, let alone walk around, and has a dedicated playlist for those who just want to lose a few brain cells instead of tryharding to win or do well in the other modes. Of course, small maps are very popular in Call of Duty, as proven time and again by small rotations and playlists involving Shipment, Nuketown, and other closed-space locales, so you won't be surprised to hear that GRWM is already up there among the more popular modes today. It's a free-for-all, as that mode contains fewer players than most others, and even with the reduced count, it's complete mayhem. I'd say frag grenades are a must here, provided you can survive long enough to throw them, as the delayed explosion is almost guaranteed to catch a player or three, especially if they are just about to respawn. I love small maps as much as the next guy, and I sincerely hope this exquisite brainrot remains in the game forever. Sometimes you just want to hop into a match without having any thoughts in your head, witness a few explosions and some limbs flying around you, and promptly leave to get a good night's rest. With how small and chaotic it is, GRWM is probably the best map for this, even if its balance is completely out of whack.
