    Saddam Hussein and 9/11 – Rumors about Black Ops 6

    There are already some leaks about Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. These concern the setting, Saddam Hussein and the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. We have summarized the leaks and rumors known so far here, but please note that this is not official or confirmed information. These are just leaks that could turn out to be wrong or only partially correct.

    What rumors are there? The oldest rumor about Black Ops 6 is the setting: according to some leaks, the shooter will take place during the Gulf War (via Insider Gaming).

    One of the key characters in the game is set to be Saddam Hussein, who was an Iraqi politician during the first and second Gulf Wars. The assumption that Saddam Hussein will play a role in Black Ops 6 is based on the YouTube thumbnail of the trailer, which will be released on May 28th. The thumbnail is already available on YouTube and has also been shared on x.com.

    The thumbnail shows a man who some users believe is Hussein.

    Here you can see the thumbnail on x.com:

    The numbers in the thumbnail are actually coordinates in decimal degree format. If you enter these coordinates in Google Maps, you will arrive at the al-Faw Palace in Baghdad (Iraq), which Hussein had built in the 1990s.

    However, leakers and rumor mongers disagree on what role Hussein will play in the game. The politician will apparently be an antagonist, but not the main antagonist of the game (via x.com)

    In addition to Saddam Hussein, the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 will also be addressed in the game (via x.com). However, the leaker only posted an excerpt from the teaser image that was released by Activision when the game title was announced (via callofduty.com):

    In the logo, some numbers can be seen above the head of the left wolf, including the numbers “0091 2001”.

    How the leaker came to this conclusion based on September 11, 2001, is unclear, however.

  • The space could contain a “1”, which would result in 09112001, among other things. In the American date format, the month is written first and the day second (MM.DD.YYYY). So the date 09.11.2001 (German: 11.09.2021) could be hidden.
  • The number 2001 is followed by a slash (/). We don’t see what happens after the slash. So it could be that the leaker knows what follows the slash.

    • Another leak on x.com also shows that the September 11 attacks and Saddam Hussein play a role in Black Ops 6. It says that the campaign will cover two real military operations: “Operation Iraqi Freedom” and “Operation Enduring Freedom.”

  • Operation Iraqi Freedom is the Iraq War, which began on March 20, 2003, with US forces launching air strikes on Saddam Hussein’s presidential palace and military targets and subsequently deploying over 67,000 soldiers in Iraq (via history.navy.mil)
  • Operation Enduring Freedom was a large-scale military operation launched to combat terrorism following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 (via history.navy.mil)

    • So Black Ops 3 could cover some real events and operations if the leaks actually turn out to be true.

    The third season of the current Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is currently running, but Activision has already published the roadmap for the next one. Season 4 starts this week on May 29th and will bring new maps and game modes: CoD MW3 & Warzone: Season 4 starts soon – everything about the roadmap, start and content
