New Black Ops Cold War Trailer Reveals First Look At Next Warzone Map
A new video for Fireteam Black Ops Cold War multiplayer may have given the Call of Duty community their first glimpse of Warzone's next battle royale map.
When Activision confirmed that Warzone would continue beyond Modern Warfare, many came to the conclusion that either an all-new BR map would be released or major changes would be made to the current one.
Either way, we may have gotten our first glimpse of what Warzone will look like in Black Ops Cold War thanks to the new trailer released for Fireteam: Dirty Bomb mode in the BOCW beta.
Several places in the video show footage very similar to what a battle royale looks like. For example, there is an image of a player parachuting down, very similar to Warzone.
We also have a sneak peek at a huge military-style aircraft, just like the one that flies over Verdansk and drops players off.
This is related to a video that the data miners dug up and posted on Reddit - the file was called "wz_startscreen" and contains a slideshow of images from two of Fireteam's large-scale maps, even before they were officially released.
For those of you who don't mind this theory, it's worth remembering that Activision teased Warzone even before it was officially announced. They even went so far as to include glimpses of the battle royale in Modern Warfare's multiplayer trailer in May 2019, almost a year before it was released.
Also, some of the larger MW maps, especially in Ground War, are based on Warzone locations and vice versa, so it makes sense for Treyarch to use these large scale terrains for both Fireteam and as points of interest on the new BR map. .
There is also a lot of speculation, based on several leaks, that there will be a nuclear event in Verdansk that will completely change the map to fit the world of BOCW, which would explain why these new areas are so different from what we used in WZ.
