Player Notices Hidden Detail on Black Ops 2 Cover
Call of Duty cover art is always a crucial part of the hype and marketing of each new game, with Treyarch’s Black Ops series, at least the first half, perhaps being the most iconic of them all. Treyarch opted to use a singular soldier for the cover of Black Ops 1, something that continued through Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 in 2015. Black Ops 4 was the first Black Ops game to ditch this approach, with Call of Duty: Cold War also using its own style of cover art. However, the classic Black Ops cover art returned with this year’s Black Ops 6, a game that returned the series to its roots in more ways than one.
As stated earlier, most attention is on Black Ops 6, which was officially released back in October. Equipped with a brand-new campaign, robust multiplayer, and Zombies modes, Black Ops 6 is a force to be reckoned with. As for where Treyarch’s next game will take players, only time will tell, though rumors suggest a potential remake/reboot of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 could happen in the future.
