It is almost that time of the year once again when another blockbuster Call of Duty title is set to launch. Fans absolutely cherished the Black Ops Cold War reveal trailer as it featured two influential characters from the Black Ops series – Alex Mason and Frank Woods. After the success of the reveal trailer, Treyarch has set September 9 as the date for the official multiplayer reveal.
Black Ops Cold War became one of the highly anticipated FPS titles long before its official reveal. For that reason, leaks and speculations have surrounded the game. As fans eagerly await the official multiplayer reveal, some footage of the multiplayer gameplay has managed to surface online. Presumably, the leak isn’t an intentional one, but purely accidental.
Twitch streamer DougisRaw reportedly accidentally went live while playing an alpha build of the Black Ops Cold War multiplayer. The live stream barely lasted seven minutes. Concerned parties took down the gameplay footage promptly. Some prominent members of the Call of Duty community were reportedly invited to play test an alpha build and the Twitch streamer might have gone live unknowingly. A Twitter user?posted a screenshot of the brief broadcast.
