Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War’snewest trailer holds some subtle nods to past titles. WithCall of Duty’slong history, it is not surprising that fans picked up on a very obvious reference.
With the attention of the camera focused on the flashy gun work, many fans didn’t notice the logo on the operator’s shirt. Although it will most likely not affect theCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warplot, it will at least make some fans smile for those who recognize the longstanding reference.

The shirt was only in a few frames of theRTXCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Wartrailer, but around midway through there is a scene where one of the operators is polishing a handgun. On the operator’s shirt sits the revised “Burger Town” logo, and although it isn’t the focus of the action, it is still a nice nod to theModern Warfarefranchise. Burger Town andModernWarfarehave had a long history with the logo making an appearance in almost every Infinity Ward title. For many fans, the appearance of this logo in the trailer proves the theory thatModern Warfaremay be connected to theBlack Opsuniverse.
InModern Warfare,the Burger Town restaurant appears across Verdansk. Players have also found Burger Town locations in the Special Ops Operations andGround War mapswith the restaurant appearing simply as Burger. Burger Town lore states that they follow the rule of never reheating their patties.
The iconic blue, yellow, and red are thought to referencethe real world franchise “Burger King.“This has since been proven false, as Burger Town was once its own real restaurant back in the 90s. It is unknown why the developers decided to put a digital version of this fast-food restaurant into their games, but it holds true both in design and color scheme to the original real-world version.
Burger Town has become an iconicModern Warfarefeature that appears game after game. The logo has evolved depending on the era and game itself with the most “modern” version of the logo found on Bubby inCall of Duty: Advanced Warfare’szombie mapInfection. It is unknown if Burger Town will appear in the newBlack Opstitle, but the reference is an appreciated detail that fans enjoy.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waris set to release on November 13 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
