A Call of Duty: Warzone player ended their SUV in a very Christmassy position, just in time for the festive season of mid-May.
The unusual event was captured by Reddit user u/WolfeMan831, and posted to both the CoDWarzone and the GamePhysics subreddits. In the video, the SUV drives off a cliff, flying over a two-lane road and landing right on top of the tree, perfectly balanced.
Coincidentally, one of the redittor’s teammates had the clan tag [TREE]. WolfeMan831 claims that this tag is a reference to the username his friend has in a lot of games: “Ieattree.”

According to WolfeMan831, the vehicle stayed balanced even after he exited to get a better look from below. Shortly afterwards, however, he was killed by people who were more interested in playing the game than bearing witness to the Christmas miracle.
Of course, not everyone took the unlikely tree-mounting to be a miraculous sign heralding the birth of a newborn king, ushering in a new era of peace and helping a merry gang of cartoon characters learn the true meaning of the holiday season. These nonbelievers claim that the balancing act was the result of a quirk of Warzone’s physics engine, which is designed to prevent vehicles from flipping over.
Unfortunately, we will likely never known whether this strange event was just a regular, run-of-the-mill fluke of game physics or a sign from above about how Christmas should really be celebrated about two weeks before Memorial Day. Both possibilities seem equally likely.
