Many thanks to Call of Duty HQ, the hub for everything going on in our beloved series, almost nothing is safe from the dataminer groups, as everything uploaded to the files is at risk of being spotted by the eagle-eyed leakers.

And just as Black Ops Gulf War gears up to take over from Modern Warfare 3, just like clockwork, the leaks have begun to sprout. 

Having already seen details of the new open-world Campaign concept be aired, leakers have taken on Multiplayer and have released a full list of weapons, perks, and killstreaks that are expected to be in the game come launch (or in early seasonal post-launch drops).

Black Ops Gulf War leaks show off all weapons

 

Despite some fans hoping that Black Ops Gulf War will follow suit to this year's Call of Duty title by allowing the skins and blueprints to carry over, it looks almost certain that Treyarch is coming to the series with their own catalogue of customisation features that will be exclusive to the game.

With that, a whole new weapon set it expected, and now leaks suggest that some golden oldies are returning from deep within the Black Ops lore.

According to leaker "Vondyispog", Gulf War will have popular guns from Cold War, such as the Kastov 74, Krig, and M16 for Assault Rifles.

The leaker also claimed that the FAL (Battle Rifle), Lachmann Sub (SMG), Olympia (Shotgun), and LW3 Tundra (Sniper) will all be coming back too.

Aside from the weapon lists, the leaker also revealed a list of perks that are set to arrive, and there are a lot of familiar names.

Your standard Overkill, Scavenger, Fast Hands, and Cold Blooded are all there, but fans have quickly noticed how Survivor (Last Stand) is also listed, and as the most-hated Perk of all time, shoulders have shuddered all over social media.

This also indicates that Treyarch will be moving back to the traditional Perk system, rather than the quirky attire-based buffs that were trialled quite successfully in MW3.
