With theCall of Dutyseries being so popular, it usually does not take gamers long to find every detail about each game. However, some secrets and clever touches slip through the cracks, and one dedicatedCall of Dutyfan has discovered another.
This detail is tied directly to theCall of Duty: Black Opssubseries, and it comes courtesy of TikTok user @hiddengamingdetails. Earlier this month, the same account posted abouta secret regarding Reznovin the original game. This time around, though, they are showing a detail that can be found in every campaign of the subseries. Using four different monitors to show the secret, the brief video is fun and interesting.

Starting with the firstBlack Opsgame, @hiddengamingdetails showcases the opening seconds where Frank Woods lights a cigarette. They then move on to2012’sCall of Duty: Black Ops 2, with the sequel having a much more startling beginning. Opening with a man burning alive as Alex Mason fights through the Angolan Civil War, the moment has likely stuck with those that played the game. While these scenes may prove to be quite different, they share an important similarity: the use of fire.
Despite being disconnected from the other games due to its 2065 setting,Call of Duty: Black Ops 3’s misunderstood campaignkeeps the trend alive. A fiery explosion kicks off the game, with almost the entire screen engulfed in flames during the opening seconds. Finally, there is Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, the latest entry in the series. While it was developed by Raven Software, the studio remembered this small but neat touch. Much like Woods in the original game,Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warstarts with a cigarette being lit, with Adler being the one to light it this time around.
While few fans will catch this clever touch on their own playthroughs, that does not make it any less interesting. With each fire bringing light to a black screen, all feel similar, even if they are as extreme as a man burning alive in a truck. Likewise,Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warre-using the cigarette lighting is a good move, as the game is adirect sequel to the firstBlack Ops. Having the exact same intro keeps that deeper connection alive, and the first scene’s use of a bar only adds to the tribute. IfCall of Duty: Black Ops 4had a campaign, flames likely would have been seen in its first scene, too.
IfmoreBlack Opsgamesdo come, it seems like fans can expect their story modes to have a fiery opening. While this detail has no impact on the narrative of theseCall of Dutytitles, it does link all of them together in a subtle way.
