If you follow theÂCall of DutyÂscene, you may have caught wind that fan-favorite Director from the development team Treyarch will not be putting jetpacks in the rumoredBlack Ops 5. While David ‘Vahn’ Vonderhaar definitely joked around about not wanting to include it, he never explicitly mentions that it will be excluded from future games – despite what other outlets may have reported.The fake news started circulating this weekend when a fan of the game asked Vonderhaar to add jetpacks in the nextÂCall of Duty. Vahn’s answer was short and sweet: “NO”
Elaborating on that point a bit further, theÂBlack OpsÂDirector made a few jokes over the series' previous inclusion of jetpacks. Specifically, Vahn noted the harsh community backlash last time it was tried in previous titles:
With that said, manydedicated community membersandpressoutletstook thesestatements at face value. Instead of a few quick jokes, work quickly passed around that the nextÂCall of DutyÂgame will not feature jetpacks. However, when he was later mentioned in one of the news pieces discussing it, Vonderhaar distanced himself from an absolute position and called the reporting of his statements “tabloid”-esque:
In short, we really don’t know yet whether the nextÂCall of DutyÂgame by Treyarch – be itÂBlack Ops 5or something entirely different – will have jetpacks. But we do know that offhand Twitter comments shouldn’t always be taken at face value.
