The packages sent to Call of Duty content creators have been opened, and it's left us with more questions than answers.
As reported by CharlieINTEL, inside the box is an old, 1950s style Slide Projector, with ten different slides included, along with the below "Confidential" document.

Interestingly, other packages included different models of projector.

While we try to figure out how to make the slides not appear ~blurry~, we put them up against white light to see it a bit closer. Here’s 4 of 10: pic.twitter.com/9UicYXq9Ty

It seems multiple content creators got different images, each adding a separate location. The four so far are London, Paris, New York and Moscow.

When players head to the Summit map, there's a similar projector with similar slides - including one for Tokyo, a location not spotted but that could well be in the possession of Xclusive Ace, who can't currently unlock his box as he's away from home!
Sooo it looks like each of the black boxes have unique slides that may need to be pieced together... I won’t be home to open mine until Wednesday night pic.twitter.com/tG3zHTqVYX

And as @NoobeyGaming points out: Summit also has these similar target images to what the Slides show + 4 out of the 5 locations. pic.twitter.com/RCluyyqFEJ

@Sentrystwatter on Twitter overlapped a couple of the images, and found the following:
@charlieINTEL I took both slides that had a lower red circle and overlapped them in photoshop. I believe this is the product of putting both of these slides in the projector simultaneously. pic.twitter.com/dnzCNXrFXn

The long-rumoured Black Ops reboot has been the subject of plenty of leaks in recent months.
Just recently, the game's Alpha appeared on the Microsoft store under the name "The Red Door", while the game's official title (and logo) leaked courtesy of a bag of Doritos.
