Sure seems like Call of Duty: Warzone is teasing the first ever pop culture operator crossover for the battle royale with thinly veiled references to action heroes Rambo and John McClane.
It started with a fictional Warzone Report for player SURVIVORJOHN#1009062. Warzone Report is a feature, added in celebration of Warzone’s one-year anniversary, that allows players to use a hashtag to get a fancy graphic of their game stats.

In this report, the mysterious player in question pretty much has to be John Rambo, hero of the eponymous films – five games/films (check), zero deaths (check), 552 kills (check).
Then, the CoD Twitter account, perhaps thinking their previous attempt was too obscure, posted an ad for Nakatomi Duct Cleaning, “Mastering A/C Duct Cleaning Since 1988”.

Yes, they’re teasing John McClane from Die Hard – I’m not explaining Die Hard to you.
Call of Duty: Warzone’s Verdansk map recently got nuked so hard it went back to the 80s, so it’s a perfect time to add some iconic 80s action heroes into the mix. How will Warzone do this and when? Are Sylvester Stallone and Bruce Willis involved? No idea, but the full details can’t be far away.
