Who would’ve thought Spider-Man and Call of Duty can be used in the same sentence? The latest installment in the Modern Warfare series has been out for over a day now and the CoD fever is running hot. And a viral video of popular YouTuber Scump playing the MW3 is getting some extra fan attention. Why? Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has teased an unimaginable crossover!

With the launch of CS2, the surprise of RoboCop: Rogue City, and the beta run of The Finals, the release of Modern Warfare 3 seemed to be the only missing piece for FPS fans. Following its launch, it has become a top seller across all platforms. Moreover, a lot of CoD veterans are enjoying Activision’s latest launch. Meanwhile, CoD legend Scump is digesting the fact that he encountered…Spidey?

“What in the f**k did I just mantle?” The CoD pro shared a glimpse of the hilarious incident. He took to X (formerly Twitter) to share the hilarious moment where he saw another player stuck on a wall. The post was captioned, spider-man 2 looks a lil different…”

The most plausible justification for the video can be a mantling glitch that occurred during the showdown. However, the streamer decided to just ’embrace’ the bug and supervise the ongoing. For those unaware, during mantling, one might leap to a great height rather than ascending to a higher platform. The most severe instances of this issue involve getting knocked or eliminated due to fall damage. This is most likely the result of a high Ping and a bad internet connection.
