I couldn't believe what I was hearing when I first heard this and I'm sure you are feeling the same. Do you want to see these characters return? PLEASE let me know your thoughts on this in the comments!!!!
If they bring them back in a good way I'm down 100% just don't make it a cop out. But they are just so synonymous with zombies, it's been hard without them.
I like how this generation no longer sees the words 'could' or 'possibly' as uncertain and instead just falls for false information. The best you're gonna get if ANYTHING is their corpses around the campsite in the last map. Deal with it.
In BOCW when you are redeeming the super easter egg reward in outbreak, the voice that says "The ways of the old world will not be forgotten" sounds extremely similar to Dr. Monty to me. It could also be the Shadowman since someone with a similar hat kidnapped the girl at the end of MWZ.
@@Ult_Fiction could be both, remember that they are the same entity separated in two. I saw some people theorizing way before in cold war that they fused together and now were the forsaken. That turned out to not be true because it was zykov, but the part that they fused and became one entity could still hold true
@ when they got killed their souls got banished to the dark aether. i get what you saying at the end of bo4 but they are in the dark aether what the story tell us
@@life09m From the looks of the story, S.A.M is planning to betray the current crew since she already lied about Richtofen being somewhere he isn't. So he may call upon echoes of Tank, Takeo, and Nikolai to stop her or slow her down. But that's just my guess.
The hints were there. There were many references to old zombies, with Nikolai's voice actor being the mangler, Assets from old games being updated and reused in parts of the game.
Sadly with the voice actor for takeo having a stroke and not wanting to do voice acting anymore, as much as I would want the of crew back I just don’t think it will be the same without him
@@intrax9476 No, AI should never be an option. I know you all miss the old crew but just let them rest, I miss them too but bringing everyone back would defeat the purpose and ending of BO4 Zombies. Also respect Takeo's VA wishes.
Unpopular opinion: I think they should pick the story up right before the Tag det Toten ending, they should make a “split timeline” type of thing One that leads to the dark aether story and one that leads to the what they originall planned with the Great War, killing Monty etcc
@@Android-Twenty-Onekeep your head up! BO6 is the first time that the zombies devs have had ANY reasonable time and budget to make what they want since the BO3 days. Jason may be gone, but he didn’t control the team like a dictator like everyone acts like he did. The entire dev team is responsible for the awesomeness of BO3, and sadly the downfall of BO4 and the rushed quality of BOCW. But that’s due to Activision forcing them to do things they didn’t want to do. It’s not just because “Jason left” that all hope is lost.
this entity might be monty+shadowman. We saw a hatted figure in the mwz cutscene. We might get the great war map in the dark aether story and fight them there inside the dark aether since well the great war site is there after BO4. It's not impossible
I'd love to see the old crew return, but the fact that Takeo's old voice actor had retired makes me worry. But instead of being worried, i'll excitedly speculate who could voice Him.
@JuliusNovak_ I would not be shocked. But I feel like it'd be a little easy to figure out his voicing both. Though it would be fun to hear his take on Takeo.
I think we need to learn to let them go. There is such thing as having too much of a good thing. I think they were laid to rest at the perfect time, and I really don't want them to ruin the powerful ended they crafted, even if it wasn't their original vision. I want to see new things. I want to see new stories. I don't want Zombies to get stale story wise. I want to see what this new story takes us. I think the Chaos Crew getting a second chance makes more sense.
Bringing the Chaos Crew back now would be honestly more of shooting themselves in the foot considering their story from 1912 goes almost completely undiscovered until 1980ish even tho the Nazis Occult SS Department was actively using Zombies and whatever else happened in Vangaured and the West/East where quit aware because of it
@@carlopanella5855 well, we also haven't had enough time with any of them arguably. We've known the original crew for decades. New characters need time to settle.
I dont think many ppl will notice if tac has a different voice actor honestly. Besides lots of talented ppl can do almost exact impressions so it wouldnt be super tough to swap him out
@@AlmuidrisTom Cain had a stroke. He’s still alive and is just retired because he lost the ability to speak properly. He’s now just living and spending time with his family. His daughter is the one that said this.
Any hopes of having Richtofen, Dempsey and Nikolai back would be something I’d jump on just to hear their banter and simply just their va’s again. I miss them. Still unfortunate that Takeo would either be voiced by a new va or left silent.
Zombies as a game mode was almost perfect down to every minute detail. We want more maps that are fun to play. Not a new game mode every game or map. I personally want a horde based tower defense back. Which is hard to do without traps or barriers
I might be crazy but whoever says boom for the nukes in BO6 sounds like a distorted Dempsey to me. Wondering if well get some altered version of the characters like Samantha in cold war
I disagree with old characters coming back because they had their time, a whole storyline based on them so I think it’s time for new characters to surface
Agree, Richtofen returning make sense since that's a grown up Eddie. The others returning wouldn't make sense at all and just ruin the BO4 Zombies ending.
We’ll most people will struggle to attach to New characters. Like the Chaos story and the Current one. The characters are so bland. The only time we’ve liked other characters are when they somehow connect to our originals in a significant way.
I think story wise it would make sense for project Janis being for Richthofen to bring back his family but maybe he’s being led astray into bringing back the old universe and characters for a Doctor Monty like villain
Treyarch cant do it, they cant, the old crew worked cause the zombies team was small and had the same ideas about how to write the characters, theres just too many devs rn with different things they want.
Look I love the og crew but even the voice actors said goodbye to them back then, now it would be COOL that each og character doesn't know about each other and have those dreams of a past self. Like the og characters coming into their body. Which can perfectly fit this storyline
takeo’s VA suffered a stroke a while back and is not able to speak. So either no takeo, takeo is getting recast, takeo has no voice lines (I doubt it), takeo will not be included, or this is not happening
Is it ironic that daleks like, “ how can these characters come back in the zombie universe? They are dead!” Meanwhile all the zombies that keep coming back 🧟♂️ 😂
LFG Dalek with some actual leaks! this is awesome and honestly cool how so long down the line and how long its been , they are trying to find a way to tie in the old crew and its like while playing terminus , Peck mentions something about richtofen trying to go somewhere or something like that
They really need to remake or remaster CoD W@W. That was By Far one of the Best CoDs and original Zombies. That game was far ahead of its times. It had a really chilling, disturbing atmosphere in both campaign and single player. The Gore in both modes was disturbingly well done. Arms legs and bodies blown in half. I hope one day for a revamp.
Yes these people need to rerun we all ways Need round based zombies it’s been around for a long time and people love it ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ we need zombies this year and next year and in 2027 😁😁😁😁😁
Nah Cods only doing this because they need all the positivity they can get in 2025 to compete against GTA6, maybe sbmm might be reduced too because that hits the playerbase in a bad way.😃
I think I like the idea of being the old crew back due to the fact that the ending seemed super rushed and depressing in bo4. I wasn’t the biggest fan with how my guys went out.
I hope that the og characters come back as people that don't know each other, but are obviously drawn too each other, like there is a deeper connection.
In my opinion, they don't need to bring back the old crew into the dark aether story. I prefer if they are brought back in the aether story but in the reboot version
This is a TERRIBLE idea. The old crew had their time, the Tag ending was great and please just leave it at that. Bringing them back would completely ruin it, and I REALLY hope this doesn't happen.
If they do. Who will be Takeo's VA, the old one had a stroke, and he can't voice act anymore. I guess someone who can make a voice that is close to Takeo's old voice
My theory is there is our favorite crew version in the dark eather storyline, which are not connected to the eather, it kinda the same as the eather version, we always had 2 primis richtofin at the same timeline, one who knows more than the other, and the rest of the crew follow one of them (in bo6 situation it must be the new one) let's call these versions of the crew elder primis, because they're supposed to be an older version of primis, even if my theory is later wrong
Jon honestly Nolan North could Voice Takeo look up his impression and its dead on accurate and i think Nolan is perfect and he could pay tribute to Tom Kane
@@Cooleditzc-137 yes I know he has his own memories of his experience in the aether, I’m saying he’s not gonna gain the knowledge of the Richthofens we played as in bo4
This is what I expected Richtofen intended to use the Sentinel Artifact for, personally. Maybe it wouldn't be intentional, like if he used it to bring his family back, but intead it brought his family along with the entire dark ether with them. That would then consequently bring Primus and Ultimus back, but I doubt it would be permanent. Maybe some particular characters, like Samantha, would be brought back permanently. My guess is this: Next map we find the sentinel artifact. The map following that we try to destroy the sentinel artifact, but instead Richtofen steals it from us and uses it. The final map is almost like Revelations with the universes collapsing in on itself and we play as Primus, Ultimus, or 3 Richtofens and 1 Samantha to put things back the way they were.
I think the Primis crew should have an ending. But a much better ending than bo4. They deserve a happy one. bo4's ending just wasn't good imo and left a lot to want.
They’re gonna do what they did in Deadpool & Wolverine “How do we go about making this movie without crapping on the movie Logan? Simple answer: we don’t.” They’ll throw them back in sloppy and to be fair most of us will still love it.
Here’s my hope: When Richtofen is in the Dark Aether after the Liberty Falls intro cutscene, he meets alternate versions of Dempsey, Nikolai, and Takeo. It could be feasible because when Ultimus Richtofen created the Elemental Shard, he bound the four together in every universe.
Yeah it's believable because richtophen is part of the story line and a original member it wouldn't surprise me to see the rest of the original crew and I believe we gone see the staffs again
That's so unfortunate because we all though they were going to have peaceful lifes. Now that Richtofen and Samantha have caught up with dark Eather i had a feeling this was gonna happen.
I knew it since the start of terminus island when dr.peck said Richtofen's name, dr.peck & old requiem are going after Richtofen & Richtofen is gonna bring back tank dempsey & Nikolai belinski & tako masaki to help Richtofen to take out dr.peck & old requiem
I always felt the versions of the vlcrew that Nikolai poisoned are now undead zombies in the Dark Aether, and maybe have even transcended higher in the Dark Aether totem pole
as someone who's done some zombies easter eggs but isn't caught up with the lore, it honestly doesnt matter for me, I just miss playing as them and hearing all their wacky out of pocket voicelines and personality
Nikolai's grand scheme in Bo4 was to Banish anything that was touched by the Aether to the dark either with the exception of Sam and Eddie. The orginial crew are interegeral to the Aether/dark aether as their souls are forever bound to the Aether as a result of their souls being used to make the elemental shard. So the crew could still be in the dark Aether somewhere...
I personally think they’ll eventually find the victus crew too. I mean they were just banished to the dark aether, and the classified phones indicate they’re not dead
I hope that if they do return, i hope that they aren't the main crew. We've already seen their stories for years. We dont need them to be the main focus anymore.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing when I first heard this and I'm sure you are feeling the same. Do you want to see these characters return?
PLEASE let me know your thoughts on this in the comments!!!!
If they bring them back in a good way I'm down 100% just don't make it a cop out. But they are just so synonymous with zombies, it's been hard without them.
@@MrDalekJD cool dude
I want chaos crew not primis
i agree with you
but i have some fear they will mess it up because the legendary ending the old team got

Facts
the zombie universe is huge and Richtofen explains this back in bo3
good lmfao
A villain wanting to bring back the old multiverse sounds a lot like Doctor Monty to me…
In BOCW when you are redeeming the super easter egg reward in outbreak, the voice that says "The ways of the old world will not be forgotten" sounds extremely similar to Dr. Monty to me. It could also be the Shadowman since someone with a similar hat kidnapped the girl at the end of MWZ.

I think it’s zombie Richtofen. But dr Monty or shadow man would be cool
It should be the shadow man. He’s not dead. He’s the dark Aether villain. One arc to take out Monty. One arc to take out shadow man.
Don't bring back Dr Monty so cringe
Need old crew in back in my life
it lowkey make sense Sam take Richtofen to Dark Aether while in there he get Dempsey Nikolai and Takeo
they’re dead bro
@ when they got killed their souls got banished to the dark aether. i get what you saying at the end of bo4 but they are in the dark aether what the story tell us

This is what I expected Richtofen intended to use the Sentinel Artifact for, personally. Maybe it wouldn't be intentional, like if he used it to bring his family back, but intead it brought his family along with the entire dark ether with them. That would then consequently bring Primus and Ultimus back, but I doubt it would be permanent. Maybe some particular characters, like Samantha, would be brought back permanently.
My guess is this:
Next map we find the sentinel artifact.
The map following that we try to destroy the sentinel artifact, but instead Richtofen steals it from us and uses it.
The final map is almost like Revelations with the universes collapsing in on itself and we play as Primus, Ultimus, or 3 Richtofens and 1 Samantha to put things back the way they were.

I know it said "new villain" but I really hope that it's Monty or Shadowman, sounds like something exactly they'd be both interested in
i think im okay with chaos being a bigger focus
as someone who's done some zombies easter eggs but isn't caught up with the lore, it honestly doesnt matter for me, I just miss playing as them and hearing all their wacky out of pocket voicelines and personality
would’ve been smarter to bring back the tranzit crew instead
I want to play as richtophen again... His quips are hilarious... 😂
I haven't clicked on a video so fast, hope this is true!
As soon as I seen that chaos was apart of the story now I knew it was only a matter of time.
Finally, now all they need is old school maps and modes
I’m gonna START HYPERVENTELATING. OH MY GOD.
Nikolai's grand scheme in Bo4 was to Banish anything that was touched by the Aether to the dark either with the exception of Sam and Eddie. The orginial crew are interegeral to the Aether/dark aether as their souls are forever bound to the Aether as a result of their souls being used to make the elemental shard. So the crew could still be in the dark Aether somewhere...
if they want to bring them back they should be dark aether variants of the characters rather than bringing back the versions from the old multiverse
I personally think they’ll eventually find the victus crew too. I mean they were just banished to the dark aether, and the classified phones indicate they’re not dead
I hope that if they do return, i hope that they aren't the main crew. We've already seen their stories for years. We dont need them to be the main focus anymore.
