Kevin Jones writes: "The main team behind the creation of the Call of Duty series has gone off to EA. It’s a good thing that Activision already had a backup team working on these games for the last couple of years. Yet this is the first time that Treyarch has been put in direct control of the series. They have big shoes to fill with Infinity Ward shattered from the inside, will they be able to offer the innovation needed to keep this series from growing stagnant?"
The video on Black Ops 1 shows some separate rooms, assets, and other features which exist outside of the boundary of the game.
From DownSights: "Black Ops is not Black Ops without Nuketown. Following the tradition of releasing Nuketown for Black Ops games, the new Black Ops Cold War game also offers a revamped Nuketown called Nuketown '84.
Nuketown '84 has the same dimensions and map layout except for the aesthetics. The map's aesthetics have changed to fit the 80s theme, with destroyed buildings and graffiti-filled walls compared to a clean 50s suburban neighborhood seen in Black Ops 1."
