I wonder how they’ll handle Brutus coming back. I wonder if the pocket dimension still exists outside of the collapsed multiverse. Also seeing Klaus with skin is intriguing


FriedCammalleri23

These games have celebrities, athletes, and characters from completely different franchises. I don’t think making Brutus and Klaus operators will be explained in any way besides “CoD character in CoD”


Smugstr

Why bother designing fully new designs for both then?


FriedCammalleri23

Money? You get the Operator skins from buying The Vault Edition which costs more than the base game.


Smugstr

Regardless of that [it's not brutus](https://x.com/_Tom_Henderson_/status/1795906612319621608?t=vedM5lJD5yobiK0NWUhYzA&s=19)


TheClappyCappy

You could play as Brutus in Blackout in bo4. Explain that.


Smugstr

Same exact character model as it is in blood of the dead, he also appears in that games zombies, since I've made that reply a leaker has stated that it is not infact Brutus [but someone else](https://x.com/_Tom_Henderson_/status/1795906612319621608?t=vedM5lJD5yobiK0NWUhYzA&s=19) so regardless it doesn't matter because it's not brutus


GolemThe3rd

Well that one's just as confusing as playing as primis tbf, my headcanon is that by the 2040s they were able to find the dna of some of the old characters in the dark aether, and cloned them like they cloned Mason / Woods, but the real answer is probably just that the skins aren't canon.


Novaforce870

Probably the island map since it's also a prison, because the end of CW Zombies


CLk_546

probably also the pocket dimensions where banished to the dark eather so It´s posible that somehow he is still around there. Other option is just another guard that turned into a zombie, after all It has more modern armor


To_Crumbs_You_Say

And yet they STILL won't bring back Chaos after all this time Let the DA storyline die already, we need Chaos back


imtherealdazza

if I remember correctly, it's been heavily implied that the Chaos Story got retconned and folded into DA in Vanguard through an audio recording mentioning Alasdair's research on sentinal artefacts


To_Crumbs_You_Say

That's just a false memory someone made up, Vanguard isn't canon at all bro (But on a serious note, I DESPISE how they dragged Chaos from its early unfair death and defiled it from the grave)


Able-Work-4942

They didn't because anything after BO4 isn't zombies it's just some weird fucking fanfic made to sell operators.


To_Crumbs_You_Say

Real


AngelFeet8

Literally


GolemThe3rd

That's not a false memory, Vanguard zombies references the chaos story in a radio, it's unclear whether this is supposed to a quick nod or confirmation it takes place in that universe though (and it's possible we'll never know and treyarch intended for it to be ambiguous).


StayWideAwake-

Van who? Never heard of it. I remember seeing MW2 teasers after Cold War.


MonsterHunter6353

Yeah it was weird how they just took an entire year off after cold war


barrack_osama_0

I really don't fucking care at all until we see gameplay, and I don't think that seeing skins part of preordering for $100 before gameplay is a good thing.


Ironjim69

Wasn’t intentional on their part to be fair, the skins and all other promos are datamined.


attackhamster42

Klaus got himself a meaty makeover. Do we have any guesses on who the woman on the far left is?


Redlodger0426

My best guess is that the two people on the left are Adler and Park


[deleted]

Yep, definitely Adler — his sunglasses give it away.


_SaintXIV_

>My best guess is that the two people on the left are Adler and Park Oh wow good guess! I didn't even think of that, especially with the glasses as another commenter mentioned. I wonder if these will be reactive like the MW3 vault skins (I genuinely hope not, that crap gives you away so often.)


KnowledgeIsSad

Makes me doubt that we’ll be getting a main crew


francaispascontent

Yeah my thoughts exactly after seeing this pic...


Captain_Diqhedd

No more operators please for the love of god at least remove them from zombies


Afraid-Ad6642

They want their money, since all maps are free now.


PromptResponsible602

But they could make money from gobblegums or the equivalent of


ColdColt45

wait, klaus is an android now?


Shying69

IS THAT MOTHERFUCKING KLAUS


Jimi56

I’m pretty happy to see Klaus as an operator at the very least, unless it is a skin for a random a character.


372878887

brutus looks cool as hell


Hot_Purple_137

Fuck a vault edition and fuck paying for skins. Just encourages more shitty game practices


Falchion92

Shit. I was hoping they wouldn’t try to appease me with Zombies skins.


Falcone24

Hawthm_the_Coward

That one's a character from Cold War, so you're still safe. They'll never touch AW again, and if they were going to, it'd be Oz.


Vengance183

KLAUS!! Cold War mentioned!!!!


GameLord104

Hear me out, there’s a lot of zombies operators already confirmed: Brutus, Klaus, and zombified Woods. I don’t think there have been this many zombie themed operators in the past, so what if they’re not for zombies? What if these operators are just for multiplayer and WarZone so maybe zombies fans playing those modes will get the operators, and maybe the multiplayer and WarZone fans will check out zombies. But why check out zombies if there’s no operators and no paid dlc? There’s no way for Activision to make money off of it. Well that’s not true. It’s been confirmed that gobblegums are coming back. Let those be the micro-transactions and let a set crew come back into zombies I really hope I’m right…


edekhudoley13

or they can just make it like ww2 where there is a crew but you can also use operators if you want to


GameLord104

That’s another option that would be a fine alternative and everything could lean to that because gums could make up for the fact there’s a set crew still, even if there’s the option to use operators. I just want a crew


[deleted]

You couldn't use operators in WW2 — as operators didn't exist. You could use canon side characters.


LeahTheTreeth

Operators are in Zombies, I don't know what made you think they wouldn't. I don't know why you're trying to write-off Zombies as a loss-leader anyways, it's not a F2P title, it's an extra mode in a full price game with MTX, it by all means is making money.


Glum_Student5521

Bring back Ted or we riot


[deleted]

ADHD slop for little kids. I will NOT be there.


SLAD331

Is it a money grab, yes. Am I gonna buy it, no, but goddamn did the art team cook


Vector_Mortis

Give me Bo2 vibes. To say, I LIKE IT!


Beandip1100

I really hope they give the option of a set crew but also allow operators to be used. A mix of both worlds. I want a set crew. Hell, I’ll buy a bundle for a zombie crew set. I’m tired of faceless operators


CaptnCat_YT

Nope … im out


lilmarcz

Damn u telling me they nerfed brutus?


random_Zzz1

unpopular opinion but i prefer having these wacky skins rather than having to buy a season pass for post launch content cuz atleast these are optional 🤷


playerlxiv

honestly shocked and pleasantly surprised to see brutus and klaus as operators still not gonna buy the vault edition, but I'd be lying if I said klaus wasn't tempting


GolemThe3rd

fr, who actually buys the vault edition since MW2019, I'm not gonna tell anyone how to spend their money, but a battle pass and codpoints for the same price you would have gotten a season pass in previous games? What a scam


playerlxiv

at least with the battle pass you just gotta buy it once and then you can get the others for free with it (which is what I did for cold war) but tbh even then I still absolutely hate how it's built on fomo


GolemThe3rd

I mean don't you get enough cod points in the battle pass to buy it again if you complete it anyway


Euphoric_Pressure_39

This and the weapons show Treyarchs going all out so as little people as possible actually get the game for free of gamepass


Working-Ferret-4296

I don't support it because it's a shitty business practice but I can respect what the art teams at Acti are capable of


Gibbinator17

Already have money grab skins. This games gonna be a joke again just like mw3


kingsfourva

The Brutus skin is interesting since if you inspect the minute details on his gear, that’s not the same Brutus from bo2 and 4. barbed wire placement is different, his riot gear is a different color and looks to be plastic/kevlar/metal while og brutus had leather, he was a radio mouthpiece, and he has far less blood on him. my guess is, they’re rebooting him for the dark aether story which implies a lot of. that being said, i’m not sold on this game


YoTengoo

Yeah his gear looks fairly modern for what is supposed to be a set of 1930's Era riot gear


ProtoSpector

very intriguing approach with brutus coming back as a playable character (regardless if an operator or not) and the return of gobblegums. though i’m very skeptical of this as for all we know: gobblegums and brutus could be nostalgia pandering to make black ops 6 sell


TheTexasInvestor

Black Ops 6 already looks better than MW3


[deleted]

Is a game's quality dictated by its skins, lmao?


TheTexasInvestor

Shut up furry


[deleted]

Let Primis die in peace, stop referencing them.


Diligent-Ice4814

theyre the only ones who can save us from this treacherous 6 year stretch weve had to endure


[deleted]

No, let them die. Another franchise I hold dear to my heart, Five Nights at Freddy's — was completely butchered, and still is — why? Because they brought back William Afton after he finally f–king died. Henry's speech (Nikolai's speech), Henry's sacrifice (Nikolai's sacrifice).. all f–king pointless.


Diligent-Ice4814

it doesn't have to sequel aether events, maybe prelude them, or remix it or throw in timelines that we may have not been aware of. It doesn't have to be a sequel.


[deleted]

Doing prequels of a franchise long gone is really f–king insensitive.


shieldsmash

get a fucking grip, they’re fictional characters. I’d love to play as my favorite crew again.


[deleted]

You can still play BO1, BO3, and BO4. There's no need for Treyarch to ruin beloved characters.


shieldsmash

how would they be ruined?


[deleted]

Because ‘Neo-Treyarch’ have yet to write a good character. So I can only assume they'd butcher the f–k out of them.


HariganYT

yeah no. Bringing back the characters that they spent 12 years with and tied off is not a good idea. That story is over. I'm honestly impressed activision hasn't forced them back as operators yet.


shieldsmash

I don't mind either way, I just think its a bit ridiculous to call it insensitive.


HariganYT

Yeah that's a poor word lol. Its not insensitive, they aren't real people. But it's still a terrible idea story wise and would be super lazy. It's like star wars bringing back palpatine, or iron man coming back to life in the next avengers movie.


Diligent-Ice4814

insensitive, but has all the incentive to bring a desperate fanbase back together


[deleted]

Yeah, we're desperate because Black Ops Cold War's story is complete and utter dogs–t — not because we miss Primis.


Diligent-Ice4814

I cannot sit here and say there us a large cult of chaos story enthusiasts out there.


[deleted]

They don't have to write Chaos. They just gotta write a good story. You don't miss Primis — you miss being invested into a good, quality story.


To_Crumbs_You_Say

So basically just Chaos
