The last two channels on The Truth Dies are live, but before that, Mr Peeks had another secret for us last night. Inputting the following code on The Truth Dies revealed a video of what I assume is the Mystery Box moving animation. Is the announcer still The Forsaken? It’s hard to tell. Some think it’s him; others don’t. I …

The Truth Dies: Terminus Island + GobbleGum
It looks like Mr Peeks has more to say. Following the excitement of The Truth Dies on Thursday, a further update to the site on Friday gave us some things to ponder over the weekend. Channel 3 published a news report stating that the CIA has declassified top-secret files. Mr Peeks then laughs and shows us snippets from documents relating …
The Truth Dies Along With the Lies
We finally have a definitive answer. The cy83r14 “ARG” is not officially endorsed by Activision or Treyarch, despite Milo (MrRoflWaffles) explicitly referring to Treyarch as the sender of the briefcase in his possession. He has now added a disclaimer to the descriptions of his “ARG” videos, but unfortunately, it’s a bit late for that. I’m slightly disappointed in Milo, as …
The Black Ops 6 Zombies ARG May Be Back From the Dead
I may have spoken too quickly about the fate of the Cy83r14 ARG. After the revelation that Activision claimed no involvement in the teaser site and associated e-mail address, I lost interest in actively working on it. I wrote it off as a well-made hoax, but I kept an eye on the progress of others, curious to see where it …
BO6 Zombies: Should the Perk Limit Return?
Show a casual COD player—or even someone who’s never played COD—the Juggernog machine, and they’ll likely say, “That’s that thing from Zombies, isn’t it?”. The perk system is one of several examples of Zombies taking standard gameplay components from Call of Duty and making them cool. Perk-a-Colas, as they are fondly known, debuted in the mode’s second map, Veruckt, mixing valuable …
The Black Ops 6 Zombies Reveal Hoax
Well, that was an eventful Thursday evening! For about an hour, it felt like the Black Ops 6 Zombies reveal teasers had kicked off, and all was right in the world. Unfortunately, that wasn’t quite the case. I’ve made it back up the rabbit hole in one piece to explain to those catching up. A now-deleted Reddit account (u/VariousYak6826) posted about …
Everyone Needs To Calm Down About Dark Aether
Call of Duty entered the podcast game yesterday, announcing and releasing the franchise’s first official podcast episode. The CODPOD, hosted by Miles Ross and Stephanie Snowden, aims to give players a peek behind the curtain and relay important information in a longer format than usual COD marketing. Among the tidbits of news in the CODPOD was confirmation that Modern Warfare …
BO6 Zombies: Should Loadouts Return?
To loadout or not to loadout? Thanks to the lack of new Black Ops 6 information, that question is doing the rounds again. Like most current-day Zombies disputes, the starting weapon debate isn’t new. The community remains split on the idea that emerged when Treyarch first toyed with letting players change their starting weapon in Black Ops 4. BO4 limited …
MWZ: Unstable Rifts Live Up to Their Name
Modern Warfare III’s Season 4 Reloaded update launched this past week, and with it came another nail in Modern Warfare Zombies’ coffin. It’s a shame. I was a big proponent of the mode, and despite receiving much criticism at the reveal, it launched to a fairly positive reception: The gameplay was a gripping blend of extraction mode DMZ, Warzone, and …
Black Ops 6 Direct Preview: The Truth Is Nigh
The reveal of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is imminent, and maybe it’s just me, but there’s a rare feeling of optimism throughout the Call of Duty community. While the “COD cycle” – where fans jump from hating the present product to getting excited for the next one – exists, this feels different. Be it single-player-minded players who are …
