The American study blames the famous forum portal for hiding user data that revealed the battle royale mode information early.
Activision has taken legal action against the famous Reddit portal to protect the user who leaked days ago all the information of the battle royale mode of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. The American company, which plans the implementation of this game mode in its last great videogame of the saga soon, has sued the website of forums for not participating in the identification of the leaker.
The user is Assyrian241O, who published in a Reddit thread the first photograph of what will be the battle royale mode of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. In a few minutes, that image was distributed at full speed through other portals, information websites and social networks. His message was clear: “I found this image; I'm not sure what it can be, but possibly it is a battle royale. ”
Season 2 on the way: a multitude of filtered content
Judging by the actions of Activision, it is very likely that the capture corresponds to the official content of the game, filtered by unofficial means and in the hands of this player through methods that we do not know.
Activision alleges that the company's copyright has been violated and accuses Reddit of not acting in a participatory manner in the delivery of this user's data. They argue, however, that they are safeguarding the protection of this user, whose signature is under a pseudonym, which makes it difficult to know who he really is and where he can be located.
The clues about a possible battle royale mode are many. Activision itself has anticipated its arrival since this month of February, when they published the trailer for Season 2. It was also then that Infinity Ward was a victim of the leaks of the gigantic future map. Although it is an open secret, the battle royale mode will not be official until Activision explains it.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is available on PS4, Xbox One and PC; one of the most successful videogames in the saga of recent years, capable of exceeding the initial records reported by Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 through income in micropayments.
