In a post to the r/blackopscoldwar subreddit yesterday, Reddit user Neur0r pointed out strings of numbers hidden in background images around the beta menu. By taking those numbers and running them through the CIA’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Electronic Reading Room, where previously declassified documents can be accessed, Black Ops Cold War fans can pull up a number of documents related to the time period of the upcoming game....

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War has been a tight lip secret that only recently has debuted. With only a glimpse at the multiplayer potential within the game, fans noticed a very large desert map, and further information confirmed that the map would be a massive battlefield hosting large groups of players in a Ground War-style confrontation.

Developer Treyarch and Raven Software’s seventeenth mainline entry in Activision’s long-running Call of Duty series is coming up on being nine months old. Black Ops Cold War has been a pioneering title for the fan-favorite Zombies mode, introducing the open-world Outbreak and allowing players to start matches with preset loadouts. Fans were treated to the new Mauer der Toten map as part of Season Four Reloaded just a few weeks ago, and now have even more Zombies content on the horizon....

Alongside the main quest and upgrade quest for the new Chrysalax Wonder Weapon, Forsaken includes an arcade. Taking a page out of Infinity Ward’s book and what it did with Zombies in Spaceland’s arcade back in Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, players can complete three different games inside the arcade. Each serves as an easter egg and a fun way to gain rewards, and the uniqueness of the games make them something that all players should experience at least once....

1. Early Rounds At the beginning of Zombies in Spaceland, the first thing on the agenda is to amass as much in-game cash as possible for purchasing weapons and doors to other areas of the theme park. The easiest way to do this is by letting zombies tear down window barriers so they can be rebuilt. Eventually, this will stop generating cash, and so it will be time to kill zombies and move on to the next round....

The trophy in question is called “You Know Nothing,” a reference to a common phrase said to Jon Snow by the wildling Ygritte in Game of Thrones. For those playing through Infinite Warfare’s campaign that would like to unlock this achievement/trophy, we’ve nailed down when and how to do so. However, in order to explain how to unlock this trophy, we will have to get into some major spoilers for the campaign, so readers should proceed at their own risk....

Officials said that the patient was from the city of Lancaster, located in about 70 miles north of the city of Los Angeles. The death was one of four reported in the county on Tuesday, with a total of 11 reported since the pandemic began. “Tragically, one of the people who died was a person under the age of 18,” said Los Angeles County Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer during a news briefing....

The California Labor Commissioner’s Office said in a press release Thursday that the Terranea Resort, in the Los Angeles suburb of Rancho Palos Verdes, was levied with the multimillion penalty following an investigation into the resort’s hiring practices. The investigation into the 102-acre, 582-room resort began in July 2021 after 14 reports alleged that the luxury complex was in violation of the newly signed “Right to Recall” law. The legislation required hotels that were reopening after the COVID-19 shutdown to first offer jobs to former employees that had been laid off....

The co-authors of new research published in AGU Advances used LANDSAT satellite data to document how tree-cover changed in California from 1985 to 2021, being shrunk by wildfires, logging, and droughts. In an email to Zenger News, study co-author Jonathan Wang wrote that California has lost 6.7 percent of its tree-cover over that time, while most of the loss occurred due to “mega-fires” since 2010. This was despite brief growth in the 1990s, he wrote, due to increased rainfall and reduce tree-cutting....

While firefighters have successfully extinguished some of the blazes, including the Sandalwood and Briceburg fires, and brought others—like the Saddleridge fire that menaced Northern Los Angeles and Ventura County two weeks ago—under control, new incidents have popped up across the state. The Kincade and Tick fires, in particular, are poised to wreak havoc. The Los Angeles Fire Department was still contending with three blazes on Friday: the now-controlled Saddleridge and Palisades fires, and the Tick fire....

This second Easter Egg is activated in much the same way as the first one, but instead of shooting the heads off the mannequins, players must shoot off their arms. By shooting both arms off every mannequin on the remade Nuketown map, the mannequins will come to life, but aren’t able to move whenever the player is looking at them. Dubbed the “Freeze Frame” Easter Egg by players, it’s reminiscent of the mannequin scenes from the Condemned games or how the Boos work in Super Mario....

The Call of Duty series adopted the seasonal approach to adding new content free of charge with 2019’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Previous seasons have brought a lot to Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War as well as the free-to-play battle royale component, Call of Duty: Warzone, and Season 3 is no different.

The Call of Duty franchise is no stranger to handling a new console generation. 2013’s Call of Duty: Ghosts launched initially for the Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii U, but offered the chance to upgrade to the Xbox One and PS4 versions for an additional fee. However, the game did not support cross-generational play. This meant that players who weren’t quite ready to upgrade, or couldn’t afford to, got left behind if their friends were enjoying the newest tech....

For those unfamiliar with the Sail 630 Nuclear bug, the glitch essentially punishes high round Zombies players. Exclusive to the PC platform, an error with Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’s cheat detection seems to believe that those getting high into the rounds are using hacks of some kind. While errors like this would be somewhat understandable if the bans were happening into the hundreds, players were getting this error message right around round 50 every time....

Activision has already revealed plenty of key information that players are going to want to know before Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War releases. For starters, all of Cold War’s multiplayer maps available at launch have been detailed. Similarly, multiplayer and Zombie modes have also been detailed, so players have a good idea of what they’ll be able to play first. However, first players need to know when the game will be going live across different regions and time zones....

Dark Matter is a famous camo from the Call of Duty: Black Ops franchise. It is similar to Modern Warfare’s Damascus skin, as it is rewarded for unlocking the gold and diamond camos for every weapon. The Dark Matter camo was revealed by prominent Call of Duty leaker TheGhostOfMW2, who showed that the skin will have a similar color scheme to some past camos. In the image, the gun’s camo is seen as a pink and purple paint job with a glossy touch, giving it an almost plastic appearance....

A recent intel drop has caught fan attention, and some players believe that it may hint at a future map location. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War frequently leaves clues throughout its many game modes for players to discover. If this clue is right, then zombie fans may soon find themselves in Berlin among a new horde of undead problems. RELATED: Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Zombies Outbreak Reveals Its Objectives...

Combine these fragments with leaks and data-mined information, and players have some slight confirmations into the next Zombies mode. The trailer provides several nods to the Zombies franchise, helping fans know that some factors may be returning in the next release.

It’s unknown exactly what that means and the image provided does not hint at much. What fans do know is that Call of Duty: Warzone will be integrating with Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War shortly after the official release. In this transition, the game will remain relatively the same, with some new game modes expected to be implemented in Call of Duty: Black Ops’ style.
