Call of Duty is one of the biggest gaming franchises in the world so when it skipped a story-driven campaign mode for Black Ops 4 a lot of people noticed.

Well, a leak posted to Reddit answers both of those questions and so much more, including screenshots, maps, and tons of details surrounding the canceled Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 career mode. Take a look at today’s video to get the rundown.
