CoD: Black Ops Cold War: New bug brings unfair advantage
CoD
A Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War player has encountered a new bug that has dramatic effects on the outcome of a game. Due to the bug, the names of the players on the opposing team can be seen through walls. This makes it clear at all times where the enemies are on the map. This bug provides an unfair advantage, especially in competitive game modes.One of the first players to discover this bug is YouTuber DylanSeeK. He has now published a clip on Twitter showing the bug in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War (buy now € 53.99) in action. He can easily turn off opponents in Search & Destroy thanks to the name display. We have included the video for you below.

The bug is very reminiscent of the so-called wall hacks with which cheaters in shooters can see their enemies through walls. In the case of DylanSeeK, however, it was not intentional for opponents to be visible in this way. It is not yet clear why this error occurs. Treyarch probably didn't know about this bug either, as it is not in the list of known problems. The team will probably take care of the bug quickly and remove it from the game with an upcoming update.

'Call of Duty: Zombies' Standalone Game In The Works? 'Big Things Planned For Zombies' Teased
KEY POINTSOver the years, Zombies played a major role in the success of the 'Call of Duty' franchise and it looks like it will no longer just stay as a game mode of another 'CoD' title.
In February, industry insider Tom Henderson said a separate, standalone 'Call of Duty: Zombies' was in development. Earlier today, Henderson doubled down on this claim noting that devs have 'big things planned for Zombies.' On Twitter, the insider also shared that Zombies 'won't be just a '3rd game mode' for long.'
Henderson mentioned this after a fan said that they hope Zombies would get a separate storyline and universe. Apparently, some fans have grown tired of the assets from multiplayer and campaigns that have been reused and recycled. Like the Dead Ops Arcade, if Henderson's claim is accurate, the Zombies could get more support from the devs considering the latest Zombies offering's success.
In February, Henderson shared on Twitter that the standalone 'Call of Duty: Zombies' game is in its early development stage. The insider clarified that it is a new title and is not attached to any 'Call of Duty' projects. Henderson's claim was backed by another industry insider Modern Warzone. It said that 'Zombies could FINALLY be receiving its own standalone game...never thought we’d see the day.'
Activision has not said anything related to the rumored standalone 'Call of Duty: Zombies' game. However, it would be interesting how this new game would link to Treyarch's attempts to create unified lore around the Undead if it is true. In an interview with IGN, Treyarch's Lead Writer Craig Houston said something about the Zombies in 'Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War.'
'I think the thing that's really important is that the previous incarnations which we call the Aether story, which involve Richtofen and all those characters, that came to a definite end at the end of Black Ops 4 season, and we were passionate about not rewriting his story,' he shared. 'This is no longer a time-traveling multi-dimensional story. This is grounded in Cold War.'
