Last week, Activision sent a mysterious crate to various publications with instructions not to open it until 12pm ET on Monday, August 10. That’s just a couple of hours from the time of this writing, but some voice lines found inCall of Duty: Modern Warfaremay let the cat out of the bag early. It seems Frank Woods from theBlack Opsseries could be making the jump toModern Warfare.
Fans have discovered voice lines for Frank Woods in theCall of Duty: Modern Warfarefiles. More specifically, Woods says, “This is it…ready to make history?” which matches well with the"Know Your History"Warzoneteasesthat have been popping up in the battle royale. Presumably, the crate will signal the official and long-awaited reveal ofCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, with Frank Woods coming as a playable operator toModern Warfareas a way to promote the new game, though that’s just speculation at this time.

It’s been noted that this Frank Woods dialogue has actually been in the game for longer than some think. Dataminers first discovered this Frank Woods dialogue duringModern WarfareSeason 4, so it seems his addition has been planned for quite some time. In any case, here’s hoping fans get some more concrete information with the crate unboxing that’s set to take place later today.
Of course, the possibility can’t be ruled out thatFrank Woodswill actually end up being exclusive to theWarzonebattle royale and won’t be featured in the standardModern Warfaremultiplayer. TheWarzonebattle royale is set to be a “constant” for theCall of Dutyfranchise moving forward, which means that it will add new content based on future games, eventually leaving its connection toModern Warfarebehind as Infinity Ward takes on its next project. Presumably, this means there will come a point whereWarzonewill start receiving operators that won’t be inModern Warfare, and one has to imagine that will happen as early asBlack Ops Cold Wardropping later this year.
As far asBlack Ops Cold Wargoes, rumor has it that Frank Woods will actually be the main character in the game, as a sort of new take on the plot of the originalBlack Ops. And as its leaked name implies, the game will be set during the Cold War, with previous leaks indicating that players will fight in theVietnam War.
If theActivision crate does revealCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waras expected, then fans should have their answers sooner rather than later.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfareis out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
