Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is going to be celebrating the World Cup with a new game mode called CODball, and it appears to share a lot of similarities with Rocket League.
As it so happens, Fortnite has just gotten another Rocket League crossover, with the classic car from the game appearing on the island. It comes with all of the neat features with supersonic speed boosts, double jumps and wall climbs, so I'm looking forward to an evening unwinding from the week in Zero Build and then a 12-year-old with no bedtime obliterates me while twirling the car 720 degrees and does the eating noodles emote on my tepid corpse. Like this one in Fortnite, CODball looks like a limited time mode, and when you think that Neymar Jr, Pogba, and Messi are going to be playable Operators towards end of this month, this crossover suddenly sounds likely.
Here's where the famed multiplayer map Rust is hiding in the Taraq map for Ground War, below:

That and the whopping takedown notice that was issued to leaker CODSploitzImgz following their post about the content they datamined from Modern Warfare II. Take a look:
Affirmative, sir, absolutely nothing to see, which is a fairly strong sign that Infinity Ward does have this CODball mode waiting in the wings and we know that Neymar Jr is meant to touch down into the game on 21 November. There might not be too long til we see CODball in action, and while it is obviously borrowing from Rocket League, I reckon there will still be success here. Rocket League and Call of Duty appeal to different audiences and the CODball mode might be a more approachable space to try out the mechanics of that game. Plus, it's a bit of silliness, and isn't that Call of Duty has always been about?
