Goof on my part.

There's another "cut" entity within the files of bo1: the Engineer. This big shirtless guy with black troussers and shoes carrying a wrench was orignaly planned to appear in kino according to unused code within the game's files but was ultimatly "cut" so to speak, but Dead ops arcade being made of a lot of recycled cut content such as the flametrower and crawler rounds from cod waw's version of kino, the engineer is in this gamemode too! He appears on high rounds and fonctions nearly identically to George Romeo, even reusing the same animations! Why you ask? Because it turns out that the Engineer's assets where repurposed to create him!
You can also find the reference and actually concept art for the Engineer(think he's called the Mechanic in game) in the terminal in the main menu of the game if you put in the right code. That's where I first learned of him when the game came out.

@@zombies4evadude24 yeah kinda sucks because the Winter’s Howl wasn’t a good wonder weapon, Five was already hard with the limited weapons, shame the weapons that were going to be in bo1 zombies were cut only in files you can but that’s all it. I want to see how these cut weapons would preform like the AK-47 and it has the flamethrower attachment making the second time we could use the flamethrower but scrapped until Bo4
The Braaaaaiinz weapon was never used by the zombies. I've checked, they utilize the same melee system as the Human AI's in campaign. That weapon was made specifically for a cut feature to play as a zombie. A zombie view model arms and screen effect still remain for this in World at War's files. Also an earlier version of the nova crawler model exists in the mod tools as well and looks pretty different to the one in BO1. It lacks any textures sadly but has a full set of animations (I.E. the black ops ones but less polished) and some scripts.
The cut content that interested me the most is the Paris map I feel like that would have been a really fun zombies map although I am happy we got Moon instead because moon is my favorite map also I've always had an interest in the Richthofen head it's just so weird
@@brokentoaster4231 definitely an easy fit into canon as a alternate timeline I'm surprised they didn't put it in bo3 or bo4 it would have definitely fit in
I recently played a custom zombies map called “Perish” which was an imagining of what the Paris map would have looked like in Bo1. Not going to lie, it’s one of my favorite custom zombies maps of all time. It’s got a nice atmosphere, easter egg, wonder weapon, story, and map layout. It’s definitely one of the best Bo1 custom maps, that’s for sure.
3:30 it's a nod to the first resident Evil, one of the bad acted infamous dialogs a character gives a key to Jill as he shouted "Maybe you, THE MASTER OF UNLOCKING could use it"
25:58 "Carry On" and "Try It Out (original mix)" were patched out following the release of BO2, they were in the game at launch as Kevin Sherwood's song "Carrion" had not been in the game at launch (for unknown reasons), so the player would have a 50/50 chance of either activating A7X's song or Skrillex's song before the patch update took them out and replaced them with Kevin's song.
I remember playing tranzit sometime near launch and finding the 3 teddy bears for the song and got try it out. After playing it again wayyy later I always got the other song I always wondered why they took it out
As far as I remember on day 1 only the Skrillex song could be activated. Later on the patched in 2 more songs (Carrion and Carry On) and depending on the order of Teddy bears triggered you could get any of the 3 songs. Bus Depot>Farm>Town = Carrion Reverse order would be Imma Try it Out The other 2 would be Carry On (but don't quote me on that)
I love videos like this exploring what developers abandon about their games. BO4's cut factions, dev-made custom mutation packages, and second season of maps hurt like hell to me, since that's my personal favorite game, and I think those might have pushed it over for the rest of the zombies fandom.
Oh absolutely, bo4 is one of my favorite games too. At every turn before release you could just see how excited they were. It was going to be THE zombies game. But the team got a tad over ambitious and the community reacted like children. When Zombie Chronicles sold like hot cakes it's no wonder we got the Aether remasters probably because of Activision. It's a shame too. Chaos would've taken this series in fresh new directions, instead we got cold war which isn't awful but nowhere near as creative and rich as the chaos universe was.
I’d love to see a fully fleshed-out BO4, all 4 Chaos dlcs and a non rushed Aether finale (and ZC2 if it was true that they planned on adding it) would’ve pushed BO1 out of my favorite CoD zombies and moved BO4 into first place.
@@Whatsit_Tuyah You and me both, brother. It's already my favorite *despite* all the lost potential due to Activision totally abandoning all the planned content. It's hard not to get a little sad since it'll never happen, but I'm at least happy with what we did get.
We need someone to make “the world at war zombies treyarch wanted to make” and throw in EVERYTHING including kino .-. It’s a crime we didn’t get that dog round theme but got the “fly trap” instead…
There's a lot of other cut content that definitely wasn't mentioned in this video. But I'm not surprised given there's only a small handful of people who know about those things. In terms of bo2 for buried specifically there used to be a room connected to the platform where the LSAT is. There was also an area to the left of the church called oil derrick which originally was where speed cola was until it was cut and speed was moved to the courthouse. There was a planned feature for oil lamps and generators in buried aswell. There would be sections of the map known as "dark areas" that were difficult for players to navigate without lightning. There would be oil lamps you could pick up to give you light for a limited amount of time before it'd fade out and a new one would spawn in. Then there was also a generator underground aswell that you could activate using the oil lamp which would turn on street lamps in the environment. The raygun MK 2 was also originally planned to be a buildable, comprised of the raygun, power refactor, trigger assembly and mineral analyzer. Bo3 rev had a lot of ideas aswell that were cut such as the "dark arena" (The Dark Arena is dark-world variant of the Theater; an alien temple where the player summons minibosses and fights them within a shifting environment and varied gameplay modifications. When in the Dark Arena, players (and certain enemies or gameplay elements) project an image of themselves into the normal-world Theater, and vice versa - creating opportunities for players to assist each other across dimensions.) And cold war you forgot to mention the Ural Mountain map that was planned for CW. There was also code referencing the Weather Station region from the Ural Mountain map having an holdout objective for outbreak. The weather station region also contained a remastered version of summit on it. Weird that they never released the summit remaster as an MP map.
Ural mountains was most likely going to be treyarch's next BR map for blackout 2.0 which was supposedly planned to release with 2021 black ops game until acti stepped in and scratched it for supporting warzone and handed them Sledgehammer's project cold war. I think it was almost completed and it definitely would have been a warzone map if they made using MW19's engine. Gameplay would be very similar to dirty bomb/fire team.
There were also voice lines for 3/4 of ultimis in bo1 when getting a trophy/achievement Edit: ik you didn't mention any non treyarch but AW had the Atlas Sword cut from Descent
Yeahhhh I heard about the cut dark area thing in buried there’s even a screenshot of it when I was looking up bo2 cut content and the screenshot shows the area where you free Leroy but the area was dark and the Olympia was shown to have a flashlight on it
I did go digging in the Giant's BO3 sound files with Greyhound a couple years ago. And I found Tombstone and PHD Flopper Jingles/Stings (when you drink the perk) in there.
Another reason why Kino became a BO1 map and also why DLC 4 for WaW was cancelled was because it would've released within less than a month before MW2's release date. Seeing as how Activision didn't want a DLC for the previous year's CoD taking away attention from the hype of that years CoD especially with it's release on the horizon, so they ordered Treyarch to save it for the following year.
Kinda bummed that you didn't mention Woods was going to be a playable character in Shangri-la. There was even a poster of him holding the baby gun. But, great video nonetheless 🤙
Yeah I saw that, and glad you liked the video! Sadly I don't think it was anything cut and more just like a fun idea they had. Not something seriously considered but you're not wrong.
I think woods was more discussed to be a playable character when it was still planned to be a Vietnam map, since they scrapped the idea it wasn't considered "cut" content. I do love that splash of him holding the baby gun though.
Fun fact: One of the ideas before zombies in WaW was for the post credits scene, you would play as a German soldier at D-Day fighting endless waves of allied troops. It was scrapped because nobody thought anyone would be okay playing as a German
In bo2, could the Richtofen and Maxis gamemodes be something related to the Easter egg, or the Easter egg’s themselves? Just seems weird having 2 gamemodes named after two important characters in the series.
Nah the biggest issue i have with cold war no one talks about how those ammo crates are straight ripped from BO3s campaign the there style/look doesn't even fit in the CW theme! Its got glowing lines all over it like a futuristic box would, because it was ripped from bo3 and wasn't even change at all! the sound the animation its all the exact same thing! i legit went back to bo3 and did a comparison there the same exact thing down to a T!
@@zer0051 there was also physical edition that was artists mockup of what it would look like but covid ruined there plans for it dkydynamite had video talking about it
Die Riese was originally a WaW multiplayer map so I'm guessing they just copied and pasted it into zombies and then changed it accordingly which might explain the fully developed rooms which are blocked off
@@Stanley557 I can tell just by the way you talk about it and how much effort you put into this video. You are doing and amazing job and I can't wait to see what's in store for you down the line. Keep up the amazing work dawg
I like that you actually show in the background every example you mention instead of just talking over the same gameplay. I know that extra editing is a lot of work but it really improves the viewing experience
Indeed it is, glad you liked it! If you like this video I also have some amazing reviews of IW, AW, WWII and even a newly released three and a half hour cold war review with this similar editing style
There is also ravenov. He was supposed to be a playable operator but he was cut probably due to the Ukraine war. I know it’s more a mp thing but you play as operators in zombies.
Two things I would like to add: 1. The unused dog round theme in WaW was actually reused for the loading on BO3 Kino Der Toten when loading into a co-op game. 2. Jason Blundell made an appearance on a podcast named Zombroz shortly after the release of Zombies Chronicles in which he talked about some behind the scenes development stuff. One of the things he mentioned was that there was supposed to be a small village on Origins next to gen 6 and the church, but was cut due to limited disc space. Limited disc space also led to the creation of the Wunderfizz.
yeah I heard about the dog round fact from another comment on this and didn't know he said that on Zombroz, it sucks so many of those livestreams are lost to time nowdays
The Double Barrel Shotgun's PaP version wasn't changed. The full length DBS properly becomes the "24 Bore Long Range." The finished PaP weapon you're referring to ("The Snuff Box") is the upgrade to the sawed-off version, which doesn't appear on Der Reise. Also the Mosin-Nagant not only has a cut PaP version, it itself was also cut. It would've had a scope too.
In Bo4 there is also a file named ZM_pink. Some believe this is ZM_blue but I remember hearing it be pink. Where I heard is lost to time I can try looking into it. And recently I know you said you don’t listen to leaks on Twitter but a recent one from I think April or March a game claiming he or his buddy worked on Bo4. Said there were 2 maps Bo4 was gonna have: S1 would’ve seen Chaos maps with the finale being part Atlantis and Library of Alexandra as hinted by Medusa in the end cutscene for AE. Season 2: Aether was gonna have a Origins remake being a Great War map where after Tag: Primis, Ultimis and Victus along with Samantha and Eddie were gonna travel to the great war as hinted in the Alpha Omega end cutscene. He claimed ZC2 had plans to release on Bo4 which has been confirmed by multiple sources. There is further proof a DLC5 was planned as in the Bo4 DLC area there is a fifth blank square indicating a fifth DLC was gonna happen. Meaning the Chaos map, Aether map or ZC2 was gonna be DLC5. Also in the Blood and Voyage alpha images: there is the original Icons for Deadshot and Electric cherry. Why they changed the icons is a mystery. Bo4 deadshot is yellow while Electric cherry is a Strife and lightning bolts and a new name Electric burst.
Nice video! I’m surprised how many of these were rumors before like “secret ascension double tap” and such. But at 15:20, bonus points where the power up given by the bonus points gobble gum
I've figured a way to get the ak47 in bo1, if you use console commands to give you all the weapons on five (/give all) you might have to spam it to get it to work but it will allow you to use it in a very unfinished stage (really low damage and no bullet sounds)
I would like to add that for WAW: The Payload gamemode is fully playable on the PC version of WAW through the mod tools. I don't think it was cut either, as it was probably a demo map one of the devs threw together to show an example of what you can do with GSC scripting. Also, I think the farm map you mentioned might be the same farm map used in the Payload mode too, as it does take place on a farm. There's also a version of the Panzershrek in the map called the Panzershark, and as you can guess, IT SHOOTS OUT FLYING SHARKS! For BO1: Paris was not entirely cancelled, but it was changed to Moon midway through development because the director wanted to "go out with a bang" as he described it. The geometry of the area with the stairs that go out of the moonbase to the area with the M14 and Olympia wallbuys I believe resembles the bridge going towards the Eiffel Tower, and the dome itself might have been where the Eiffel Tower would have been. Several French building textures with Paris in the file names can be found in the game's IWD files.
You forgot to mention the real DLC 5 for bo2 it was going to be the original zombies Chronicles it was going to be have the original world at war maps but canceled due to it being developed during cod ghosts
29:30 IIRC weasel was the one murdered by the other 3 mobsters (who have the power up voice lines) so the only explanation i can think to have is maybe a mode on solo MOTD where you play as weasel and the other 3 characters would be the announcers, acting like the other announcers (controlling the zombies, etc). Seems like it would’ve been cut for probably just being to convoluted for the average player to care about if what i think could be the purpose of the aforementioned voice lines.
I swear one time I deleted the update for black ops 1 on my Xbox 360 but had all the dlc on a USB and I tried playing shangri-la and a completely other load up screen came up and it looked like a temple I was shocked because I never seen it before but the game crashed because of the lack of the update. Hopefully you can find something like that in the files or someone can because I would love to see that again!
I always wished they put the Springfield in Der Reise just because I always assumed they’d give the worst gun in the game an OP PaP like they did the 1911
This has probably already been mentioned by someone, but Origins was also supposed to have an additional area called Village just past the church, however the area was cut due to performance issues and the Wunderfizz machine was created so that the perks from this area could be included without any additional hardware strain from the machines themselves. There was also a cut Gobblegum from base Black Ops 3 called Private Eyes, which is believed to have worked like Death Perception or iPhone CoD Zombies where you get a grenade style threat indicator for zombies behind you
I'd love to see someone take apart the wiiu bo2 files to see if there's any other differences from 360/ps3. My favourite part of the WiiU version is the game can randomly crash and you get an ear piercing beep noise with a debug screen
3:40 actually in CoD Mobile there was zombie mode but it was later replaced by the Undead Siege, one of the zombie-infested battle royale maps, looting weapons and equipment by day to defend a machine/base made by Edward at night, to teleport characters and players, resulting in a victory, but what I wanted to say is that on certain days, missions appear to complete and earn weapons, ammo and materials to build and improve your sentry guns, and one of them is an excort mission, where you follow a truck full of Aether Crystal, preventing zombies from entering a delimited area, if not the truck would stop, and if you don't deliver to the base in time, the mission fails, with at most, some consolation loot.
That dog round song appears somewhere else, I remember that you hear the guitar part of the song when you play multiplayer for Kino, because if you play solo, the sound is the recording of Richthofen talking about the “theater of the damned”
The fact that the cut music box song is in FNAF means that its part of a sound library. Its amazing how many sounds and song snippets are shared across the game industry. Its like the Wilhelm scream, once you notice it, you will hear it everywhere.
Some of the Black Ops 2 cut content you've listed weren't actually cut initially. The Jet Gun pick-up text and the TranZit EE songs were in the game at launch. I can never forget my first memory of the Jet Gun. It was day one of BO2 and ran home from school to play Zombies. The text box showed when I first crafted the weapon and I was excited to wield the new "wonder weapon", that text box got me, even more, hyped to use it. Only for it to literally blow up in my face seconds after. The TranZit songs were also in the game at launch. If I recall correctly, the song you would get depended on the Teddie Bear activation order. Despite a few issues with some info being incorrect, very informative video. I already knew a good portion of this but it was really nice to take a trip down memory lane.
I’m so mad that we would’ve had so many more box weapons in Bo1. The Box has absolute dog water weapons and ammo problems, they could’ve definitely added M60 enfield kiparis and AK47 to the box for a few more better weapons.
In World at War, there’s more cut weapons than what you mentioned. All coming from the scrapped British Campaign. These would be the Lee Enfield, Sten, Bren. Also there was going to be a potato which was possibly left over from COD 2
For Bo2 I'm pretty sure the WAW maps were going to be added as part of a DLC for Bo2 but were of course cut. I think you can find a screenshot of der riese map logo in the Bo2 lobby.
dude, your voice is so nice to listen to, you sound actually interested in sharing this info with us and I love it. There are so many youtubers who are just so mono tone and it makes me so bored, but this is NEW and EXCITING XD. Thank you for that!
the estulla astoth was in the shadows of evil map on launch day, they had later patched it out because it was too too powerful, and the upgrade was just to pack a punch it through regular means, not the quest they had intended, I guess they forgot to take that upgraded version out cause it was a good maybe week or 2 before it was removed for good
@@Stanley557 Its ok! I only remember the black Cell and the Po6 because I'm trying to get them gold for dark matter lol! But bro, honestly I didnt know about the Razor Back in Zest.

A bo3 custom map called Mori Rebirth makes use of some of the Baby Gun concepts and does a really good job of it. If you've got a PC I recommend trying it. (Also has a pretty fun and easy easter egg)
Great video. Im a fan of exploring cut content and it turns out there are more stuff than i thought. One problem is there a weird sound every now and then or is it my headphones?

@@Whatsit_Tuyah You and me both, brother. It's already my favorite *despite* all the lost potential due to Activision totally abandoning all the planned content. It's hard not to get a little sad since it'll never happen, but I'm at least happy with what we did get.
@@Stanley557 i like bo3 but you can have your opinion
We need someone to make “the world at war zombies treyarch wanted to make” and throw in EVERYTHING including kino .-. It’s a crime we didn’t get that dog round theme but got the “fly trap” instead…

Just imagine how godly waws content would’ve been if bo1 got an extra year of development and they were able to make those extra maps
@@klimaxkid Forreal but it would have messed with the continuum and we wouldn’t get as good bo1+2
@@risingstar1309 true bo1s campaign was in trouble it was definitely the right call imo
There's a lot of other cut content that definitely wasn't mentioned in this video. But I'm not surprised given there's only a small handful of people who know about those things.
In terms of bo2 for buried specifically there used to be a room connected to the platform where the LSAT is. There was also an area to the left of the church called oil derrick which originally was where speed cola was until it was cut and speed was moved to the courthouse.
There was a planned feature for oil lamps and generators in buried aswell. There would be sections of the map known as "dark areas" that were difficult for players to navigate without lightning. There would be oil lamps you could pick up to give you light for a limited amount of time before it'd fade out and a new one would spawn in.
Then there was also a generator underground aswell that you could activate using the oil lamp which would turn on street lamps in the environment. The raygun MK 2 was also originally planned to be a buildable, comprised of the raygun, power refactor, trigger assembly and mineral analyzer.
Bo3 rev had a lot of ideas aswell that were cut such as the "dark arena"
(The Dark Arena is dark-world variant of the Theater; an alien temple where the player summons minibosses and fights them within a shifting environment and varied gameplay modifications. When in the Dark Arena, players (and certain enemies or gameplay elements) project an image of themselves into the normal-world Theater, and vice versa - creating opportunities for players to assist each other across dimensions.)
And cold war you forgot to mention the Ural Mountain map that was planned for CW. There was also code referencing the Weather Station region from the Ural Mountain map having an holdout objective for outbreak. The weather station region also contained a remastered version of summit on it. Weird that they never released the summit remaster as an MP map.
Ural mountains was most likely going to be treyarch's next BR map for blackout 2.0 which was supposedly planned to release with 2021 black ops game until acti stepped in and scratched it for supporting warzone and handed them Sledgehammer's project cold war. I think it was almost completed and it definitely would have been a warzone map if they made using MW19's engine. Gameplay would be very similar to dirty bomb/fire team.
There were also voice lines for 3/4 of ultimis in bo1 when getting a trophy/achievement
Edit: ik you didn't mention any non treyarch but AW had the Atlas Sword cut from Descent
Yeahhhh I heard about the cut dark area thing in buried there’s even a screenshot of it when I was looking up bo2 cut content and the screenshot shows the area where you free Leroy but the area was dark and the Olympia was shown to have a flashlight on it
I could upload the screenshot on my TH-cam channel later
I did go digging in the Giant's BO3 sound files with Greyhound a couple years ago.
And I found Tombstone and PHD Flopper Jingles/Stings (when you drink the perk) in there.
because phd was planned to be in bo3 but was cut cause they couldn’t make it work in time

Another reason why Kino became a BO1 map and also why DLC 4 for WaW was cancelled was because it would've released within less than a month before MW2's release date. Seeing as how Activision didn't want a DLC for the previous year's CoD taking away attention from the hype of that years CoD especially with it's release on the horizon, so they ordered Treyarch to save it for the following year.
Another reason to not like Activision
Thanks for the credit! 🙏
Bro no way
Unreal, uh .... hi
Kinda bummed that you didn't mention Woods was going to be a playable character in Shangri-la. There was even a poster of him holding the baby gun. But, great video nonetheless 🤙
Yeah I saw that, and glad you liked the video! Sadly I don't think it was anything cut and more just like a fun idea they had. Not something seriously considered but you're not wrong.
No he wasn’t that was just a cool place holder for the game
I think woods was more discussed to be a playable character when it was still planned to be a Vietnam map, since they scrapped the idea it wasn't considered "cut" content. I do love that splash of him holding the baby gun though.
Fun fact: One of the ideas before zombies in WaW was for the post credits scene, you would play as a German soldier at D-Day fighting endless waves of allied troops. It was scrapped because nobody thought anyone would be okay playing as a German
If that's true, I would've enjoyed that honestly
That music box would've been a really cool addition to the ghost house
Yeah right? It's weird it was never added
@@Stanley557 I even imagine that it could play when in the Round Infinity step.
i never realized that how in the buried opening when they're fighting the zombies in the water russman is using a war machine but it's ejecting shells
Can you imagine how lazy and stupid zombies would be if Tony voiced every character
In bo2, could the Richtofen and Maxis gamemodes be something related to the Easter egg, or the Easter egg’s themselves? Just seems weird having 2 gamemodes named after two important characters in the series.
Nah the biggest issue i have with cold war no one talks about how those ammo crates are straight ripped from BO3s campaign the there style/look doesn't even fit in the CW theme! Its got glowing lines all over it like a futuristic box would, because it was ripped from bo3 and wasn't even change at all! the sound the animation its all the exact same thing! i legit went back to bo3 and did a comparison there the same exact thing down to a T!
Omg I think you're right xD

Die Riese was originally a WaW multiplayer map so I'm guessing they just copied and pasted it into zombies and then changed it accordingly which might explain the fully developed rooms which are blocked off

I like that you actually show in the background every example you mention instead of just talking over the same gameplay. I know that extra editing is a lot of work but it really improves the viewing experience
Indeed it is, glad you liked it! If you like this video I also have some amazing reviews of IW, AW, WWII and even a newly released three and a half hour cold war review with this similar editing style

Edit: He mentioned it and i hadn't gotten that far but still.
The problem is that fnaf 3 cameout in 2015 after burried
There is also ravenov. He was supposed to be a playable operator but he was cut probably due to the Ukraine war. I know it’s more a mp thing but you play as operators in zombies.
About 2 months ago I've had this craving for zombies and now there's videos being uploaded again. Makes me happy
Two things I would like to add:
1. The unused dog round theme in WaW was actually reused for the loading on BO3 Kino Der Toten when loading into a co-op game.
2. Jason Blundell made an appearance on a podcast named Zombroz shortly after the release of Zombies Chronicles in which he talked about some behind the scenes development stuff. One of the things he mentioned was that there was supposed to be a small village on Origins next to gen 6 and the church, but was cut due to limited disc space. Limited disc space also led to the creation of the Wunderfizz.
yeah I heard about the dog round fact from another comment on this and didn't know he said that on Zombroz, it sucks so many of those livestreams are lost to time nowdays
@@Stanley557 Yeah the only ones I can find are Jason Blundell and Cameron Dayton eps
@@kyletokarchick8685 oh cool
Yeah Origins is only like 2/3 the size that they wanted it to be.
no matter how much i grow up ill always love cod zombies
The place holder richtofen sounds like a mix between richtofen and james charles
The Double Barrel Shotgun's PaP version wasn't changed. The full length DBS properly becomes the "24 Bore Long Range."
The finished PaP weapon you're referring to ("The Snuff Box") is the upgrade to the sawed-off version, which doesn't appear on Der Reise.
Also the Mosin-Nagant not only has a cut PaP version, it itself was also cut. It would've had a scope too.
Thanks for telling me!
26:06 FNaF fans be like: OH OH OH I've heard this one before!
In Bo4 there is also a file named ZM_pink. Some believe this is ZM_blue but I remember hearing it be pink. Where I heard is lost to time I can try looking into it. And recently I know you said you don’t listen to leaks on Twitter but a recent one from I think April or March a game claiming he or his buddy worked on Bo4. Said there were 2 maps Bo4 was gonna have: S1 would’ve seen Chaos maps with the finale being part Atlantis and Library of Alexandra as hinted by Medusa in the end cutscene for AE. Season 2: Aether was gonna have a Origins remake being a Great War map where after Tag: Primis, Ultimis and Victus along with Samantha and Eddie were gonna travel to the great war as hinted in the Alpha Omega end cutscene. He claimed ZC2 had plans to release on Bo4 which has been confirmed by multiple sources. There is further proof a DLC5 was planned as in the Bo4 DLC area there is a fifth blank square indicating a fifth DLC was gonna happen. Meaning the Chaos map, Aether map or ZC2 was gonna be DLC5. Also in the Blood and Voyage alpha images: there is the original Icons for Deadshot and Electric cherry. Why they changed the icons is a mystery. Bo4 deadshot is yellow while Electric cherry is a Strife and lightning bolts and a new name Electric burst.

WHY DOES RICHTOFEN SOUND SO FRUITY
they knew what they were doing
I'll never look at him the same way again! Why they do this to him!
@@shinydiamondlady4416 I guess there was a reason it was cut 🙃
@@Stanley557 Someone should make a animatic of it. I'll watch that!
this should have more views and likes i never knew there was this much cut content for zombies especially for WaW. great video!
Nice video! I’m surprised how many of these were rumors before like “secret ascension double tap” and such. But at 15:20, bonus points where the power up given by the bonus points gobble gum
I've figured a way to get the ak47 in bo1, if you use console commands to give you all the weapons on five (/give all) you might have to spam it to get it to work but it will allow you to use it in a very unfinished stage (really low damage and no bullet sounds)
I would like to add that for WAW: The Payload gamemode is fully playable on the PC version of WAW through the mod tools. I don't think it was cut either, as it was probably a demo map one of the devs threw together to show an example of what you can do with GSC scripting. Also, I think the farm map you mentioned might be the same farm map used in the Payload mode too, as it does take place on a farm. There's also a version of the Panzershrek in the map called the Panzershark, and as you can guess, IT SHOOTS OUT FLYING SHARKS!
For BO1: Paris was not entirely cancelled, but it was changed to Moon midway through development because the director wanted to "go out with a bang" as he described it. The geometry of the area with the stairs that go out of the moonbase to the area with the M14 and Olympia wallbuys I believe resembles the bridge going towards the Eiffel Tower, and the dome itself might have been where the Eiffel Tower would have been. Several French building textures with Paris in the file names can be found in the game's IWD files.
You forgot to mention the real DLC 5 for bo2 it was going to be the original zombies Chronicles it was going to be have the original world at war maps but canceled due to it being developed during cod ghosts
Great video. Never knew there was THAT much cut content in waw
29:30 IIRC weasel was the one murdered by the other 3 mobsters (who have the power up voice lines) so the only explanation i can think to have is maybe a mode on solo MOTD where you play as weasel and the other 3 characters would be the announcers, acting like the other announcers (controlling the zombies, etc). Seems like it would’ve been cut for probably just being to convoluted for the average player to care about if what i think could be the purpose of the aforementioned voice lines.
I swear one time I deleted the update for black ops 1 on my Xbox 360 but had all the dlc on a USB and I tried playing shangri-la and a completely other load up screen came up and it looked like a temple I was shocked because I never seen it before but the game crashed because of the lack of the update. Hopefully you can find something like that in the files or someone can because I would love to see that again!
I always wished they put the Springfield in Der Reise just because I always assumed they’d give the worst gun in the game an OP PaP like they did the 1911
This has probably already been mentioned by someone, but Origins was also supposed to have an additional area called Village just past the church, however the area was cut due to performance issues and the Wunderfizz machine was created so that the perks from this area could be included without any additional hardware strain from the machines themselves.
There was also a cut Gobblegum from base Black Ops 3 called Private Eyes, which is believed to have worked like Death Perception or iPhone CoD Zombies where you get a grenade style threat indicator for zombies behind you
I'd love to see someone take apart the wiiu bo2 files to see if there's any other differences from 360/ps3. My favourite part of the WiiU version is the game can randomly crash and you get an ear piercing beep noise with a debug screen
What good features
BRUH, I MISS THE WII CRASH SOUND. I HEARD IT THE MOST IN BO2 FOR SOME REASON.
Why does the stand in for Richtofen sound so sus 😂😂
Call of Duty Zombies be like: *poo-poo*
I kind of love the placeholder Richthofen voice actor, he’s iconic
He sounds like he was yassified in BO2.
Fsirt
fastest mod in the west everybody
Yessir!!!
3:40 actually in CoD Mobile there was zombie mode but it was later replaced by the Undead Siege, one of the zombie-infested battle royale maps, looting weapons and equipment by day to defend a machine/base made by Edward at night, to teleport characters and players, resulting in a victory, but what I wanted to say is that on certain days, missions appear to complete and earn weapons, ammo and materials to build and improve your sentry guns, and one of them is an excort mission, where you follow a truck full of Aether Crystal, preventing zombies from entering a delimited area, if not the truck would stop, and if you don't deliver to the base in time, the mission fails, with at most, some consolation loot.
yup cod mobile zombies mode was too good to exist. too bad they ALSO had to remove the cod zombies mobile game
Dog round theme in waw would’ve been badass
First! (I don’t normally do this but u said to do it in the discord EVERYONE PLZ JOIN THE DISCORD)
That dog round song appears somewhere else, I remember that you hear the guitar part of the song when you play multiplayer for Kino, because if you play solo, the sound is the recording of Richthofen talking about the “theater of the damned”
I would never expect COD to have a connection to FNAF of all series
Indeed. Something like FNAF + Fortnite would make much more sense.
Fnaf has a cod connection fnaf3 song cameout in 2015
Yooo this guy has all the good DOA music downloaded
Doa music is so good (and also some of the only music that you put in videos that don't override my talking
Man the second I heard that theme I knew it was FNAF 3 lmaooook
“Richthofen go figure that machine out! I have to take a shit.” That’s literally something I would say at the end of every sentence
Great video man, keep up the work and you are bound to grow. Earned a sub from me.
Thanks! It means a lot!
The fact that the cut music box song is in FNAF means that its part of a sound library. Its amazing how many sounds and song snippets are shared across the game industry. Its like the Wilhelm scream, once you notice it, you will hear it everywhere.
bro that music box song is creepy af
Yes
26:07 as soon as I heard it I instantly remembered it from fnaf 3😂
ok but 10:30 is hella good wish that was in game
It's on online/LAN game Kino loading screen in BO3
26:06 all I gotta say is fnaf x cod would be a shit combo
That ending for a dog round that went unused actually sounds really good
26:06 I remember when I played Fnaf, all the time.
Some of the Black Ops 2 cut content you've listed weren't actually cut initially. The Jet Gun pick-up text and the TranZit EE songs were in the game at launch. I can never forget my first memory of the Jet Gun. It was day one of BO2 and ran home from school to play Zombies. The text box showed when I first crafted the weapon and I was excited to wield the new "wonder weapon", that text box got me, even more, hyped to use it. Only for it to literally blow up in my face seconds after. The TranZit songs were also in the game at launch. If I recall correctly, the song you would get depended on the Teddie Bear activation order.
Despite a few issues with some info being incorrect, very informative video. I already knew a good portion of this but it was really nice to take a trip down memory lane.
What did the text box say?
The dual wield five-sevens on tranzit/green run aren't exclusive to the Wii U port either
I’m so mad that we would’ve had so many more box weapons in Bo1. The Box has absolute dog water weapons and ammo problems, they could’ve definitely added M60 enfield kiparis and AK47 to the box for a few more better weapons.
There is an aug wallbuy on bo1 in kino on the wii version. It was on the stage under where the turret is.
cool
In World at War, there’s more cut weapons than what you mentioned. All coming from the scrapped British Campaign. These would be the Lee Enfield, Sten, Bren. Also there was going to be a potato which was possibly left over from COD 2
Place holder Richthofen had me ready to risk it all 😩😩😩
hey man great video! lots of effort and good information put in👌🏼
Glad you liked it!
For Bo2 I'm pretty sure the WAW maps were going to be added as part of a DLC for Bo2 but were of course cut. I think you can find a screenshot of der riese map logo in the Bo2 lobby.
dude, your voice is so nice to listen to, you sound actually interested in sharing this info with us and I love it. There are so many youtubers who are just so mono tone and it makes me so bored, but this is NEW and EXCITING XD. Thank you for that!

9:50 could've been a really good game over song
the estulla astoth was in the shadows of evil map on launch day, they had later patched it out because it was too too powerful, and the upgrade was just to pack a punch it through regular means, not the quest they had intended, I guess they forgot to take that upgraded version out cause it was a good maybe week or 2 before it was removed for good
34:24 you didnt mention the cut weapons from zombies. The Razorback, the Po6 or the Black Cell.
Well the razor back did make its way into Zetsubou but you are absolutely correct i did forget stuff like the Black Cell

My theory about "richtofen" mode is that it would have been similar to greif except one team is zombies and are with ai zombies, maxis would be the origins version
16:07 MP40 is in the speed cola room in Kino. Hope I’m not too late to point that out.
