Bobby Poff and new Warzone map.

Black Ops Cold War Season 1 is just around the corner, with Warzone also receiving a new map and a refreshed Gulag system that could change the battle royale forever.

Mike & Keshav welcome Bobby Poff to Episode #13 of the CharlieIntel podcast. In this week’s episode, we discuss the upcoming release of Black Ops Cold War Season 1, the launch of Warzone’s Rebirth Island and the new Gulag system, how cheating is still a major issue in Call of Duty, and whether bringing back old maps from previous CoD titles is the right decision.

Bobby Poff also joins the show to discuss how Keemstar and his Warzone Wednesday tournament helped launch his rise to fame, his thoughts on Black Ops Cold War, and the sacrifices he had to make to become a streamer.

December 15 sees the first major update for Black Ops Cold War since the game’s release, introducing Season 1 to the game with new modes, maps, operators, and more. Zombies fans will also get their hands on new content too, meaning there’s something for everyone in this patch.

Just a day later on December 16, Warzone’s new Rebirth Island arrives. A smaller map with less combatants, the action is set to come thick and fast for anyone who dares drop in. There will also be major updates to the Gulag system, which may make it harder for players to make it back to the action.

Bobby Poff joins Mike to discuss his huge success on Warzone, what changes he would make to the mode, and the massive sacrifices he made to pursue his dream of content creation.
