Call of Duty: Cancelled "Ural Mountains" map for the Cancelled Blackout 2 mode got a 8-min gameplay video leaked

Sadly this is the only footage. :(
Apparently the Warzonenewz guys have edited out previous watermarks of videos they've posted and claimed them as their own.

Cause Warzone was meant to just be for MW19 and then move onto Blackout 2 but then Warzone blew all of Activision's expectations and suddenly Raven was in charge of a game that was meant to last years rather than just a single year and they were not equipped to handle it.
It's only now in it's latest season Raven has clearly gotten the help they needed to actually properly handle Warzone which can be seen in how their updating has not only gotten more frequent, but far more detailed and more open with the community.
Verdansk 84 was likely all they could do with the resources they had. Probably something much larger next time.

I'll go look for one in a little bit. Hopefully it exists. Someone had to have saved it.
Then Activision was doomed to failure. As much i liked Blackout, sticking with a single successful BR is the key in the genre. The fact they wanted a BR per COD game is insane. Thankfully Warzone blew up, even though we lost Blackout maps.

Ultimately it will be better in the long run.
Also I'm struggling to find another video. It seems Activision is heavy duty scouring to remove it from everywhere.

Yeah! Actually. I honestly didn't even consider searching YouTube. But I guess we can use that one until it gets removed too.
Though it's a tad bit worse quality and they added another watermark lol
I honestly think if that Ural mountains map played like blackout 1 that activision could have definitely had two successful BR games running simultaneously.
If they were strategic about timing updates so they were constantly generating hype for one or the other and skins worked across games no one would ever notice if their updates were as lame as the warzone ones have been.

I actually thought Blackout was much better then Warzone. My brother and I (and our friend) actually played Blackout a lot. Whereas with Warzone, we really didn't even play it that much and haven't touched it in about a year and a half. Wish they would have stuck with Blackout over Warzone (or had them switch out each year).
Played quite a bit of Blackout and while the gameplay was fun, the map design felt janky. It didn't feel cohesive, was clearly made with key/fan fav locations patched together to form a BR map. Verdansk's layout is far more detailed and grounded.
Pretty sure they didn't want to fragment the mode further by having 2 different playstyles/combat mechanics in 2 separate maps. They stuck with 1 and while they may have lost some players for not introducing a new map soon, it was a better decision in the long term by having a consistent BR experience under the Call of Duty brand.
Activision wasn't the one pushing it.
Treyarch fucked the BO4 campaign up so badly Activision made them restart it and it was so bad again it was canceled entirely.
They threw Blackout together in the last 9ish months to have something to replace it.
Warzone was something they intended to make from the start.
Blackout 2 was Treyarch wanting to do more of their thing, but Warzone blew up so big Activision canceled Blackout 2 early in its development.
It's more on Treyarch not trying to get with IW and Raven to figure it out earlier.
Because that map has features not available in Warzone.
Mainly swimming, Infinity Ward didn't include it in Modern Warfare
I personally wished that Blackout would have been their BR game. Could be me, but I really had a lot more fun playing Blackout than Warzone. I would go and play a round of Blackout only to get hooked and spend the next few hours just doing random matchmaking.
Blackout had good simple map design with varied gameplay mechanics thanks to its equipment
The scifi slightly futuristic setting was great
Battlefield might fill that gap
The missions Blackout had were amazing and Warzone needs something similar asap.
Unlucking Woods, Reznov, Mason and Seraph were such an accomplishment
Imagine if Warzone had a mission where you had to use
Get a sniper and get a long range rooftop kill
or land and get kills at the pool
and you unlock
that head on
*Price ´96*
Blackout not being the F2P Battle Royale (or at least going F2P when BO4 was done with it's cycle) is still one of my biggest disappointments with gaming.
Had wayyyyyyy more fun with Blackout than Warzone.
With as hard as Activision is going on these videos, what if this isn't actually cancelled?
