Black Ops Cold War “Leak” makes players go crazy

One new Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War leak has CODFISH players, or at least some players, freaking out. In the official marketing material for Season 1, Activision and Treyarch revealed that a controversial scoring cut will soon arrive in the game. More specifically, an official image of the game features a character using the flamethrower, who, at the time of writing this, is not in the game and has not been formally announced either. It is unclear whether this is a provocation or an artist and marketing forgetting that the flamethrower killstreak is not in the game and was not announced, however, it leaked many months ago, courtesy of the game files and the dataminers that examined them.

For now, neither Activision nor Treyarch have commented on the screenshot and its implications, and at this point, they are unlikely to do so. It is also worth pointing out that the screenshot does not confirm in one way or another whether this is a break in score or a weapon in the game. That said, the data analysis leak mentioned above suggested it was just a scorestreak.

Although the image more or less confirms that the flamethrower is coming to the game, it does not disclose when it is coming to the game. Presumably, this will happen sooner or later, if it is already appearing in the official images, but for now, this is just an assumption.

As mentioned, players are freaking out at the prospect of the flamethrower being added to the game due to its controversial implementation in the past.
