An apparent leak for one of gaming’s most prevalent entities hit the web earlier today, as a loading screen for Call of Duty: Black Ops II was prematurely published. However, the images have since gone under much scrutiny. Generally with leaks – in this day and age – there is a lot more to go off of, and what has been collected so far is comprised of only a second of gameplay footage and this loading screen image.
Whether the information is true or not, the map is called “Bridging the Gap.” Many people say this is simply recently published downloadable content map “Die Rise,” seen through hazy glasses.
Though the discussion surrounding this reveal is large, there isn’t any evidence or opinion to suggest that this might indeed be a real, upcoming addition to the Call of Duty universe. Furthermore, it’s been almost 24 hours and Treyarch hasn’t “bridged the gap” on this, which is just more reason to believe that this is an inconsequential part of Black Ops II history.
We might all be wrong. Once the work week kicks in tomorrow, perhaps Treyarch will speak on the issue and any doubts or hopes will be laid to rest. It just seems farfetched that a month after Treyarch published downloadable content in the form of maps that they would start talking about even more of them.
What do you think? Is there some modicum of truth here, or is it another rumor lost to the mill? Let us know in the comments section below.
