Call of Duty 2020 may bring jetpacks back, but the director despises them due to the negativity surrounding their use in previous entries (via DualShockers).
A fan asked Treyarch game director David “Vahn” Vonderhaar if jetpacks would be added to the next Call of Duty title. He emphatically answered, “NO.” As fans continued to press the issue, he joked that he was “hung from the highest branch” by the community with the mechanic that was used in each Call of Duty game between 2014 and 2017. Vonderhaar has since softened his stance and poked fun at people who are taking his words literally, so it seems the jury is still out on jetpacks.
Did I? I love tabloids.

Call of Duty 2020 is being kept under wraps, but sources speaking to Kotaku allege that the game will be Black Ops V and will likely land on current and next-generation consoles. Moreover, the new game’s campaign may span the entire 40 years of the Cold War, featuring the Vietnam War and the Korean War. It is also said to be more graphic and more uncompromising than the soft reboot of Modern Warfare. We thought that Call of Duty game was all right: “a popcorn blockbuster that will satiate your hunger while you’re stuffing the baddies’ faces with bullets, before your tummy grumbles for something more substantial shortly after the credits roll.”
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
