Call Of Duty has just dropped some massive heat, and fans are all set to max out their cards. 

It is no secret that Activision has made some big moves lately, be it collaborations or their $69 billion partnership. Moreover, they released two games that broke all records, with Modern Warfare 2 dominating the charts every day. However, that did not mean fans were entirely happy about the game’s current stage, as they expected something more. So, the devs decided to drop Messi, Neymar, and Paul Pogba as playable operators. 

This worked well for Activision as they saw a sudden surge in player count, leading them to add more of them. And now, rumors have surfaced for not one but four new celebrity/streamer operator skins to drop in May.

Soon enough, the community added two plus two, coming down to the conclusion of Kevin Durant featuring in the game. For those uninitiated, the image featured a shadow of an operator landing in Warzone with a basketball in his hand. And one could see a building at a distance that read “Easy Money Sniper,” Kevin Durant’s nickname. Moreover, his Instagram username helped to conclude the theory as the 2x NBA Champ ran an account under the same name. Quite fascinating, right? Well, there’s more to it.
