One Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War multiplayer map in particular has proven to be full of easter eggs, including one easter egg that seems to be a nod to the popular Black Ops 2 Zombies map TranZit. Maybe we shouldn’t hold our breath for an explicit return to the Rift, per se, but there’s a good chance we might see some Easter eggs and so forth hearkening back to Black Ops II’s campaign and the “Buried” Zombies map.For two weekends in a row now, Call of Duty fans have had the chance to try the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War multiplayer beta, taking a crack at the game's various multiplayer maps.

In Black Ops Cold War, players will revisit Angola in the new multiplayer map “Satellite.” ![]() “It is possible the Rift goes straight into the center of the Earth, and that the "portal" at the bottom is actually Earth’s core.”ĭown below the map’s surface, what’s buried turns out to be a nineteenth-century town from another time, another world.Īnd there are lots of zombies, naturally. “It is a large opening in the ground, presumably caused by the missiles fired from the Moon previously,” the Call of Duty wiki explains. ![]() But in Zombies, it’s given a fantastical context as the site of the “the Rift,” a hole tunneling deep into the Earth, causing “temporal displacement.” The game’s campaign begins with the Angolan Civil War of the 1980s. The Zombies map “Buried,” from Black Ops II, also took players to Angola.
