It’s going to beBlack Ops 6; let’s just come out and say it.
It’s Treyarch, and that’s their bread and butter.
Woods in the woods with camouflage that matches the woods.
Four years ago, we got our hands onBlack Ops: Cold War.
That’s right, ever.
Even crazier is seeing Zombies being released early as well.
Woods in the woods with camouflage that matches the woods.
Let’s just hope it doesn’t cost the same asStar Wars Outlawsfor early access!
June 9th is a very specific guess that the leaker got right.
Generally, he ends up being right.
What’s more, is I’ll be providing some insight behind some of these rumors.
So let’s jump in!
Campaign - The numbers Mason?!
This group is and was led by none other than Perseus themselves.
After the first Perseus passed away from cancer, Vikhor “Stitch” Kuzmin took over his mantle.
Perseus is an international ring of undercover spies with connections to criminal organizations and terrorists worldwide.
Its goal is to disassemble the West’s power structure and make the Soviet Union the dominant superpower.
The game returns to anopen-world single-playersystem that’s similar to the Modern Warfare 2 system.
It’s also rumored that the campaign will feature the return of Adler, Woods, and Mason.
I imagine cameos would best suit these two characters.
The first was leaked by Luke Stafford, the actor portraying said character.
The others were leaked by various renowned Call of Duty X leakers.
Even as a veteran, I found myself amazed by the variety and depth of the arsenal.
It’s an extensive list that mirrors the last few years of entries.
We’ve really been spoiled lately.
Will Rust make it’s 18th return? Yes please.
Compared to Black Ops: Cold War, it has almost double the number of weapons.
It seems we can expect 50+ weapons from here on out.
A noticeable exemption from the list, one that makes me shudder, is the Riot Shield.
With over 50 weapons coming, it’s going to take a while to find my favorites.
I cannot stand that thing.
Here’s to hoping they never add to another game ever again!
Another interesting tidbit is that loadouts could potentiallyfeature a third weaponslot that would house the melee weapon.
Perks or equipment?
This would be the first Call of Duty to feature a tertiary weapon slot.
What this could mean in terms of gameplay is unclear at the moment, even if true.
Perks
For those unfamiliar with Perks, these are the assignable abilities you could give your character.
you could freely swap them between games and load-outs.
Generally, Perks come in three categories, and you are allowed to pick one per punch in.
For the first, I’ll list perks seen in other games, or that had no significant changes.
A few here raised an eyebrow or two from my perspective, almost to Dwayne Johnson levels.
With that in mind, let’s dive in.
Here’s a breakdown of every new Perk or Perk change and how they could potentially change gameplay.
Tactical Insertions are back as Tactical Equipment?
Rally sounds like it could completely change how objective game modes are played.
That’s insane to me.
Stack this on a few people, and you could see players getting advantageous spawns every minute or so.
Revive Gun, on the other hand, is difficult to gauge.
If it works for everyone, this becomes a de facto Field Upgrade.
Scoretreaks
Remember when the only killstreaks were Radar, Airstrikes, and Helicopters?
I do, but that probably puts my age out for everyone to see.
Killstreaks changed the fundamentals of online gameplay.
The trophy system from Modern Warfare.
They were revolutionary and still are to this day.
Multiple games have attempted to copy their system, and very few have had any sort of success.
None equal to that of Call of Duty.
The UAV is bound to return, what else?
So, what’s new with Call of Duty: Gulf War?
First, they’ve removed killstreaks and replaced them with scorestreaks.
This system is often juggled between games, with some featuring one or the other, sometimes both.
Scorestreaks are frequently trumpeted as the go-to system, as they promote objective gameplay over kill-hogging.
First of all, having 22 score streaks is bonkers.
I loved themespecially the Handcannon, which is one of the most satisfying abilities to use.
As for the rest of them, it’s your standard affair.
A few stand out amongst the crowd.
Calling in sniper helicopters sounds like some definitive gamer fun.
Then there’s the Nuke.
It’s back, baby!
The question I have is, what counts towards the killstreak?
They haven’t for quite a while, but it would be interesting if that mechanic returned.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t call them both at the same time.
The older experiences are no longer, which I’m okay with, honestly.
Zombies from MWIII was a blast, but Treyarc is the best in the business!
Loadouts provide a sense of security when entering maps and give those early rounds better replayability.
ARadio packis coming, too.
It’s not known what this is or what it’ll do, but it’s there!
Dropping in once more!
Said island will also come with a potential arrow trap of sorts.
Maybe we can also expect a trap that is better themed for the city, too!
Rumors also suggest that we could see reward rifts and the aether extractor return from MWZ.
As well as Manglers coming back.
The map for season one’s integration for Call of Duty: Gulf Warwill be Verdansk.
It’s not known what will carry over.
Outside of that, there isn’t any new information to share.
I’m sorry this is the least exciting reveal!
