Call of Duty: Modern Warfarehas been out for a couple of weeks now, giving fans of the blockbuster first-person shooter franchise the opportunity to find easter eggs throughout its various game modes. So far, there haven’t been a ton of major easter eggs found in the versus multiplayer modes, though one of the biggest ones has recently been discovered on the 2v2 Gunfight map called Hill.
If players look in the distance around southeast on theCall of Duty: Modern WarfareGunfight Hill map, at around 150 degrees, they will notice one of many similar-looking white trees. By aiming at the tree closest to the edge of the cliff, players can see an outline of the Predator shimmering. This is an obvious reference to the Predator’s invisibility from the films, and is a neat nod to that franchise to say the least, especially consideringCall of Duty’s past with the Predator.

As some may recall,Call of Duty: Ghostshad Predator as a playable characteras part of its Devastation DLC. LikeModern Warfare,Ghostswas developed by Infinity Ward, so it’s possible this is a nod to the studio’s past work. Alternatively, it may just be a matter of someone on the development team having an affinity for Predator.
While not a ton of easter eggs have been found in the standardCall of Duty: Modern Warfareversus multiplayer modes, there have been some others. For example, those that played theModern WarfareGunfight Alpha discovered aStephen King’sIteaster eggon the Gunfight map called Docks. There is a sewer grate on this map that has a bright red balloon behind it, a clear nod to Pennywise the Dancing clown from the movies/novel. It’s possible that theIteaster egg is still there in the final version of the game, but we haven’t verified it.
There are other secrets on theCall of Duty: Modern Warfaremaps that may point toward the game’s future. For example, fans noticed that the Tarvosk District map is visible when playing on the recently addedKrovnik Farmland Ground War map. Some have taken this as a possible indication that these maps will help to make up theCall of Duty: Modern Warfarebattle royale mode that is expected to launch in 2020.
It’s important to note that aCall of Duty: Modern Warfarebattle royale mode has yet to be announced, but datamining efforts and leaks have pointed to it being in the works. But whileCall of Duty: Modern Warfarefans wait for more news on that, they can scour the existing content for more hidden easter eggs.
