Call of Duty data mining has uncovered several fragments of weapons included in Season 5, including the M200, R700 sniper rifle, and SPAS-12

A new operator named Wood, similar to the name of the Black Ops protagonist, has been data-mined by players, who believe that Warzone will bridge the worlds of Modern Warfare and Black Ops starting next season Also rumored is longtime fan favorite Soap McTavish

Scrap Yard and High Rise, two well-known maps from previous games, are also rumored to be coming back, as fans have found files that reference both areas

Various rumors from data mining and Infinity Ward teases suggest that a major map change is coming to Verdansk in the new season Some reports suggest that Activision is trying to align Warzone with another of Call of Duty's upcoming flagship titles, Black Ops

For the past few months, players have been scouring for clues, decoding Russian phone calls, and destroying bunkers to make the map look like a Cold War setting until what many believe will be a nuclear explosion Notable changes to the current map include the opening of a stadium and the addition of a loot train that circles the map similar to that of Apex Legends

Fans have been expecting some of these changes to come in Season 4 and will have to wait to see what actually happens in August
