How this site updates
Guide pages display their source links. After launch, practical advice should be revised against the shipped game and dated in the changelog. Corrections can be reported on the /contact/ page.
One correction already made
Several guide sites quote Activision as saying the game releases “at midnight local time.” That sentence does not appear in any official Activision page we could find — only a footnote about “Applicable Time Zone Differences.” We publish the worldwide date and say plainly that no regional schedule exists.
Now confirmed beyond the original brief
Killstreak player levels, all 18 Perk levels, 9 Tactical, 11 Lethal and 12 Field Upgrade levels, the official PC minimum and recommended specifications, split-screen platform limits and the “Holiday 2027” Game Pass window are all first-party facts now carried in the guides and the unlock tracker.
