The former World Champion vented his frustration, saying \u201coh boy we got what we always wanted, more trees to lose aim-assist on and stick nades to!\u201d However, images soon began to surface that showed the trees on the Cave side of the map had been in the game since November of 2017 \u2013 something that Sledgehammer Games confirmed in a reply to Clayster\u2019s original post: Yeahhhhh, sorry about that, I think there was more trees added to the background and for the past 4 months that entire side of Ardennes has been smoked out so\u2026 yeah sorry \u2014 eU Clayster (@Clayster) July 2, 2018 Clayster would go on to apologize, saying \u201cYeahhhhh, sorry about that, I think there was more trees added to the background and for the past 4 months that entire side of Ardennes has been smoked out so\u2026 yeah sorry\u201d. Naturally, the confusion was the beginning of a brand new meme in the competitive Call of Duty community; one that Sledgehammer Games is clearly keen to participate in!
