Summary
According to the latest rumors, Frank Woods, a classic character fromtheCall of Dutyseries, may appear in the nextBlack Opstitle as a playable operator. Frank Woods played major roles throughout theCall of Duty: Black Opsseries narratives, and players may get the chance to control him in multiplayer in a future release.
TheCall of Duty: Black Opstitles are famous in the franchise for maintaining a sense of narrative experimentation, visiting time periods and settings that aren’t as commonly explored inCall of Dutytitles. The originalBlack Opsgame visited the 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion, as well as the Vietnam War. Series developer Treyarch also used theBlack Opsseries to further expand the now-standardCall of Duty Zombiesgameplay.Cut content from theBlack Opstitlesrevealed all manner of experiments and other potential gameplay innovations.
Now it looks like the nextCall of Duty: Black Opsgame may try to capitalize on players' affection for some of the game’s recurring characters. According toCall of Duty-focused social media account CharlieIntel, data miners have uncovered hints that Frank Woods,one of the bestCall of Dutycampaign characters, will appear as a playable operator inCall of Duty: Black Ops 6(or whatever the game’s final title turns out to be).
Playable Frank Woods Operator May Appear as Black Ops 6 Pre-Order Bonus
The tweet from CharlieIntel revealed that Frank Woods may be unlocked as a pre-order bonus forBlack Ops 6, but didn’t specify which references or files found by data miners indicated the character’s status as a pre-order bonus. WithMicrosoft gearing up to potentially revealCall of Duty: Black Ops 6soon, it’s likely that the company has already determined what bonuses it intends to use to sweeten the deal for prospective customers.
Woods has many fans thanks to his long history with the series, andhe even appeared as a revived Archetype inBlack Ops 4, long after his presumed death of old age. But the passage of time in theBlack Opstimeline would ensure that Woods would be too old to take an active combat role inBlack Ops 6, even if it takes place during the 1991 Gulf War as is rumored. Including Woods as a pre-order bonus character for use in multiplayer would be the more logical choice, as they could show “Uncle Frank” off in his prime, rather than as the decrepit old man he ended up as inBlack Ops 2.
