Back in June, we shared some multiplayer gameplay footage from a WIP version of Call of Duty 2020. And even though Activision has not officially announced yet this new Call of Duty game, some multiplayer details about it have been leaked online.
The following information comes from YouTuber Xclusive Ace. Xclusive Ace is one of the best Call of Duty YouTubers, and can be considered a reliable source. And while the YouTuber has made his COD 2020 video “Private”, you can find below a summary of the new COD 2020 MP details.
According to Xclusive Ace, Call of Duty 2020 targets a Q3 or an early Q4 release date. As such, this new COD game will arrive earlier than previous COD games (which released in the fourth quarter of each year).
As the YouTuber noted, the game is in pretty good state right now, and all multiplayer maps are complete. Moreover, its Single-player campaing is fully playable, though there are some incomplete animations. Furthermore, the game will feature Campaign, Multiplayer, Zombies Modes. Additionally, COD’s battle royale mode, COD Warzone, will be available in it.
My guess is that Activision will officially reveal Call of Duty 2020 during Microsoft’s July event.
Lastly, and as always, we strongly suggest taking everything you are about to read with a grain of salt. Xclusive Ace claims that his source is reliable, and the YouTuber has been a reliable source in the past. Still, things may change which is why we’re marking this as a rumor.
Call of Duty 2020 Multiplayer Details Leak Part #1
- Game is indeed set in the Cold War
- Targeting to release at the end of Q3 (September) but tentatively pushed back to early Q4 (October/early November)
- Game is in a good state. MP maps are pretty much done except for some textures and fixes.
- Campaign is fully playable, only some voice over and animations missing
- Campaign, Zombies, Multiplayer and Warzone, including a new Warzone map
- Standard mini-map is currently in the game. This means that if you shoot an unsilenced gun you’ll show up on the enemy’s minimap
- No Fog of War currently in the game
- Compass from Modern Warfare is returning
- No mounting and leaning
- Sliding returns
- Swimming returns, which yes means water returns in MP maps
- New Warzone map has a big lake in the middle
- Modern Warfare’s Tactical Sprint will NOT return, sprinting is unlimited
- MP maps will NOT have interactable doors, Warzone will have them
COD 2020 Multiplayer Leaks Part #2
- Source is aware of 10 maps currently, map layouts to be more of the classic Treyarch map design for the most part
- One map is a very small boat in the Black Sea
- Another map called “Mall”, quite a complex map
- Third map is called “Satellite”, set in the middle of a desert, very open with some small cave sections. Gave some Afghan (MW2 map) vibes
- Fourth map is called “Tank”, the map from the previous video leak. Smaller, mid-sized three lane map, seems to be designed for competitive
- Fifth map is called “Tundra”
- Sixth map is called “KGB”, very small, about the size of MW2019’s Shoothouse
- No Specialists, but something similar to Field Upgrades will return. Field Upgrades can be charged twice, second charge takes longer. One is a piece of equipment which shoots at vehicles and streaks. Another looked similar to Crash’s ammunition box
- Regular equipment returns, no longer on a recharge timer like BO4
- Scorestreaks return instead of Killstreaks. Some Scorestreaks: Bow, Artillery Strike, Chopper Gunner, Controlled Missile, Death Machine, Flamethrower, Gunship, Grenade Launcher, Hand Cannon, Light Attack Chopper, Napalm Strike, RC-XD, Sentry Gun, Strafing Plane, UAV and Counter UAV
- No Dead Silence in the game at all currently
- 150 health currently but with automatic healing, no word on time to kill, health bar returns as well
Call of Duty 2020 Multiplayer Leaks Part #3
- Guns include the Ak5 and SPAS-12 as secondary, so it looks like Shotguns are once again secondaries
- Create-a-Class is a hybrid of classic CaC (CoD4) and Pick 10. Currently there’s no Gunsmith in the game, but could still be something they’re working on. Customizing your class such as a 4th perk, overkill, extra attachments require Wildcards
- Source isn’t aware of the existence of a Prestige system, but could just be something they’ll implement very late
- Standard MP is 6v6. 2v2 Gunfight currently isn’t in the game, but a 3v3 mode is being playtested
- No Ground War (32v32) map currently in the game, but there is a mode which takes place on sections of the new Warzone map. This could just end up being Ground War as that’s basically what Infinity Ward did with Modern Warfare
- The new Warzone map is set in Russia. Named locations include Mines, Chemical Lab, Weather Station, Ski Slopes, Duga, Zoo and Battery. As said previously, there’s a big lake in the middle (a bit to the bottom left). Bottom right is snowy with mountains and it’s where the Ski Slopes and Weather Station are. Just north of that is the Chemical Lab with a swampy area, and north of that are the Mines. West of that is Duga, which appears to be based on the radio array at Chernobyl. Battery is on the mid-West of the map, with a small city in the middle of the map. The Zoo is just south of the city. Guess is that the map is a bit smaller than Modern Warfare’s Warzone map, although more open.

honest to god no one even cares to play these damn call of duty games let alone getting excited over a leaked gamepay footage. so now you’re telling me just some details got leaked?
people who are into this franchise at this point are like people who you think don’t exist but do. for instance, a group of straight men who jerk off to other men’s armpit. it’s specific enough to make you think these people don’t exist but they do and i guarantee it.
disgusting rytarded pedophiles get a life.
I’d say that’s a little bit of a false equivalency.
what happened to your avatar
Pepe’s kind of an old meme now. Its been like 5 years. Trolling is more fun when people can’t immediately tell your political stances too.
Millions and millions of people do care though. I’m not one of them but they are out there.
2018 Black Ops 4 had a revenue of 500 million dollars on the first 3 days after release.
2019 COD MW Remake had a revenue of 600 million dollars on the first few days after release.
COD 2020 will most likely have similar results. Year after year Activision rakes in hundreds of millions of dollars due to COD games. I don’t see any end in sight.
they don’t “care”, they only play it because some dumb school drop out streamer with 60 iq plays it on twitch or youtube, it’s a sheep mentality.
you could argue they care enough to play it and i’d say again that it’s a sheep mentality but i’d also say fair enough but who the hell gets excited for a leaked gameplay footage of generic fps number 256? weirdos, that’s who.
A person with an IQ of 60 is Intellectually Disabled. They aren’t playing video games or anything else. Here is a chart of IQ and percentages of population for you:

I have had my IQ tested and I came in at 141. I’m not saying that to boast but it is what is is. I perceive things that most people overlook but that has always been normal for me. It’s not a blessing at all and usually it’s a curse.
yikes, how come you didn’t realize i wasn’t talking literally?
It doesn’t matter either way.
If you downvote me one more time I will drag your stinking carcass out into the back yard and tie you to a fence and scrape all of your skin off with a brick.
Ouch you brought that guys IQ back to 100. 64K dont be sad One of us One of us.
If you don’t mess with dagoat’s head occasionally then you just don’t care about him. It’s all good.
I used to care for the story during MW trilogy days and also first Black Ops.
But after Ghost and AW, I lost faith. And BO4 is absolute atrocious!
BO3 story was a bit complex and so was confusing for some.
BO2 was well …. not as good as BO1.
IW was underrated.
WWII was return to form somewhat.
BO4? Had no story for eff-sake!
But none were as good as the MW1, MW2, BO1. Period.
The new MWReboot seems kinda good, though.

Most people are “retards” and kids in world who just want to shoot things for 10 minutes and never actually finish anykind of meaningful story. COD devs are right most of them wont even turn up Single player part of game. I think we who like meaningful games are sadly fewer jn numbers.
So you are allowed to play your single player games only, and no one else can enjoy what they want? Gaming has many genres and playstyles, not everyone likes to play a story. People do enjoy competition.
Ofc they can, just i am salty that industry follows this trend and makes hundreds of online games while most of them fails. Everybody wants to strike the gold pot with lootboxes and Microtransactions. While we get one good AAA single player game a month if lucky. And now they release uncompleted Singleplayer games with Liveservice. And most ppl just are herd of sheep and follow anytrend publishers and developers feed them. So in short everybody is allowed to play anything they want but please dont pay for stupid stuff like lootboxes and Liveservices that came from Sportgames To onlinegaming to singleplayer gaming.
COD singleplayer has always been just mindless shooting as well. Talk about pretentious. If anything out of the two modes multiplayer is the more “meaningful” because at least that’s a real fight. In singleplayer the enemies are dummies waiting to get genocided, or if you turn the difficulty up they magically know your location and are scripted to hit you with at least one bullet before you can kill them so then you sit around in cover waiting to regenerate magically. So now both the opponents and the player are sitting around in cover all the time. Woow, so meaningful.
i dont know i havent touched cod after World at war the last game that had LAN support i belive.
Hard pass on this. Last one (MW2019) i reallly liked but i’m fed for another 3-5 years. Can’t blame them though, they’re basically printing money.
