Call of Duty 2020 Teaser Site Updates With Cold War References

While the official reveal of Call of Duty 2020 has yet to happen, its teaser site now features Cold War references, a hint of things to come, and even a code that unlocks a door in Call of Duty: Warzone. If you head to pawntakespawn.com/tv, you will be greeted by an old television set, VCR, phone, chess piece, and computer. The TV displays static, but if you click on the VHS tape above the VCR with 1961-62 written on it, a video appears on the screen with real-life footage of JFK, the space race, the civil rights movement, the Cuban missile crisis, the Laos Crisis, and more. JFK As the video continues to play, certain numbers will flash on the screen, including 37, 25, and 48. Additionally, the VCR will occasionally flash the text "WZ-H6-49285 163." @CharlieINTEL on Twitter followed these developing teases closely, and it was discovered that the H6 in the above code was a reference to the Farmland location in Call of Duty: Warzone. Players, including @PrestigeIsKey, used the code from the VCR (49285163) on a door in Farmhouse that had a keypad, and it hid a secret room with further clues. Some of the documents found in the room include a list of chemical compounds and references to Venona, which was a US counterintelligence program that helped decrypt messages from the Soviet Union. There are 5x5 matrices that were used to decipher these codes, and they make reference to other Warzone locations, including Quarry, Boneyard, and Prison. Furthermore, two code words - ZEPHYR and TRIDENT - were written on two of the documents. Below the TV, there is a sticky note that has /TANGLEDWEB and /EMC2 written on it. If you go to pawntakespawn.com/tangledweb and pawntakespawn.com/emc2, it takes you to two other pages with even more info. /TANGLEDWEB features a typed out letter that discusses how "Wars are won not just on the battlefield, but behind closed doors." It ends by saying, "know your history," which recently appeared in Warzone last week as part of a flashing message on screen. Document /EMC2 features another note that originally said "8/14 - DAY ONE: 1962-62." Following the discovery in the Farmland, "8/15 - DAY TWO:" has been revealed, with the rest of the document being redacted.
