Treyarch has yet to discuss any changes being made toWarzonethroughout the life cycle ofCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, but a new gameplay image may provide the first look atCall of Duty’s next battle royale offering. Taken from a new trailer focused on the Fireteam Dirty Bomb game mode, the hugeBlack Ops Cold Warmap where the mode is set may very well be a part of a largerWarzonemap.
Despite leakers previously claiming that theWarzonemap will stay the sameupon the release ofBlack ops Cold War, the map shown in the trailer for Fireteam Dirty Bomb looks quite different from the mapWarzoneplayers are currently playing on. Featuring numerous, bright green trees and locales that look more like a Vietnam setting than a Russian one, if this really is a newWarzonemap, it appears to be quite different from the one set inModern Warfare’sfictional country of Verdansk. However, it is equally possible that this is simply a new location being added to the currentWarzonemap, albeit with a very different color palette.

While the trailer footage showcases a forest that was recently part of aBlack Ops Cold WarandWarzonemap datamine, adding credibility to the leak, the most damning piece of evidence regarding the Fireteam map being part ofWarzoneis an image tweeted out by multipleCall of Dutyinsiders. With both ModernWarzone and CharlieIntel posting the image at the same time and hinting (or outright saying) that it shows part of the battle royale map, reputableCoDleaker Tom Henderson believes it was not a coincidence.
Per Tom Henderson, “There’s a reason ‘certain people’ have tweeted out the Fireteam map looks like it could be in Warzone," concluding the post with a sly face emoji. An obvious hint that CharlieIntel and ModernWarzone have inside sources regardingBlack Ops Cold Warlike Henderson’s, it seems as if both websites have let theWarzonenews slip. If the leakers’ sources prove correct,fans ofCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waralready know what part of the new (or updated) battle royale map will look like.
With theFireteam Dirty Bomb game modesupposedly taking place on a portion of theCall of Duty: Warzonemap, it is easy to make comparisons toModern Warfare’s Ground War mode. Ground War also saw sections of Verdansk added as new maps throughout each season of content, a system that will likely return inBlack Ops Cold Warto help save on resources. If Treyarch follows the same system, newWarzonelocations are likely to be separated as huge standalone maps for Fireteam Dirty Bomb going forward.
If Fireteam Dirty Bomb is indeed following the Ground War system of map design, it offers the first clear glimpse of a tree-filled location in theWarzonemap. Witha Zombie RoyaleWarzonevariantsupposedly coming to the game as well, players may have also gotten their first look at one of the areas that will be overrun with hordes of the undead.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warwill be available November 13th on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
