• 2 new weapons at launch (6 in total across the Season)

• Zombie Battle PvPvE mode
• Warzone ‘big map’ rotation
• BO7 movement added to Warzone
• Warzone Map updates
• New Endgame skill tracks and abilities
• Endgame ‘Operations’

As mentioned, this covers just some of the many additions coming with the launch of Season 3 – with much more slated to drop throughout the Season, including a new major Zombies map Totenreich alongside half a dozen new relics; a parkour-focused ‘freerun’ multiplayer mode; Prop Hunt Royale and much more.

For the past year or so, one of the biggest leakers in the Call of Duty space has been TheGhostofHope, with the insider having revealed a ton of information regarding current and even future COD entries. In the wake of a recent report by the insider claiming that some major shake-ups may be happening internally, Activision have now “legally demanded that I stop leaking and disseminating confidential information related to Call of Duty.”

Taking to Twitter to make the announcement, known Call of Duty leaker TheGhostofHope revealed that “Activision has legally demanded that I stop leaking and disseminating confidential information related to Call of Duty/Activision and I am complying with their demands. Still gonna stick around and chat about Official Call of Duty info and anything not related to leaks/confidential information. Cheers for these past few years.”

Interestingly, alongside this recent revelation, Call of Duty themselves commented on these latest events. In response to one tweet by COD YouTuber ‘TDAWG’ who asked “So if Call of Duty is shutting ghostofhope down…was he right about everything…?” the official Call of Duty account replied with:

“Nah. Even when leaks are wrong, they still hurt the people building the game and mess with player expectations.”

Whether TheGhostofHope was right or not, we will have to wait and see, but for better or for worse, it seems Activision is cracking down on leaks moving forward.

An ad for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 has been banned in the UK after the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) deemed that it was "irresponsible and offensive" for centring around humour that was "generated by the humiliation and the implied threat of painful, non-consensual penetration" of a man in the ad. Spotted by the BBC, the ad in question is part of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's 'Replacers' ad campaign, which featured Hollywood actors like Terry Crews, Nikki Glaser, and Peter Stromare.
