Going by the latest reports, it’s been revealed that a very controversial release under the Black Ops series, seven years ago, was going to feature an open-world campaign!

However, it was eventually scrapped mid-way and never saw the light of the day.
Now, several newly leaked images online have reportedly revealed what Black Ops 3’s open-world map could have looked like.
A Reddit user, named u/Purpletoaster, recently posted a series of multiple pictures on Imgur website.
Upon seeing them, Call of Duty fans will notice that 2015’s Black Ops entry was actually much more than what it was made to have upon the launch, according to Insider Gaming.
That is, the game could have ended up having a sprawling, open-world single-player experience.
Thus, it could have become the first title in the action series to feature such a Campaign.
In general, Call of Duty games always come out with linear storylines and restricted map areas.
