When Reddit user American_Boi117 made it under the map in “Break on Through,” they found a strange scenery surrounding them. On Reddit, they shared four screenshots showings a grassy field in the middle of an unknown location. In one section there is a sign with a date, time, and several other notations written on it. When turning around, the player can clearly see far out into a field, grass, and some scattered Gatorade bottles and trash from the center point. It is unconfirmed exactly what this is, buttheCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warcommunityhas some ideas that seem plausible.
One fan in the comments suggested that this is a test image used by theCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Wardevelopersto give the game realistic shading. By using a real image of scenery, they can adjust the in-game engine’s graphics to try and match the sun location, shadow, and general atmosphere to the image.
Another player believes these images could be used for Reflection Mapping or rather the process of adjusting the lighting for the purpose of reflections within the game. While mostCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Wardevelopment practicesare kept secret, the community is excited that this may their first look into how their favorite games are being created.
