It would be cool if Rictofen’s “evil” plan is just him trying to bring his friends back (Thanks everyone for the likes on this, I don’t have much knowledge of the story after Firebase Z, so I don’t really know how feasible this would even be. I’m just happy to see the story being interesting again!)
This is something I've been hoping for since we found out Richtofen was indeed the director. But, I think he's likely trying to bring back his wife and child. We already know there is something weird going on with Richtofens son Samuel, and we aren't sure how he corelate yet with Mr Peeks who also is now in charge of the Gobblegums. But no matter what direction they go in, I hope the writing team focuses more on these new characters learning about things from the past. Like neither Samantha or Richtofen have talked about what happened at Tag, nor the fact that they literally walked hand in hand into a brand new and fresh universe. I would love to hear the backstory and if Richtofen even remembers his friends.
This might be a big stretch but i smiled when Grey said, "Richtofen is no fool". It reminded me of the phrase he used to say in the old storyline, "I´m no fool, what I do, I do only to secure a better tomorrow".
Weaver is calmly and quietly focusing on Eddie's name, Carver and grey are trying to keep themselves busy and distract themselves from the audio by working out, Strauss is losing his mind, and then theres raptor one who is simply chilling and killing time like if he was simply in detention or something lol.
Step one: upon the boss blinking enter the morse code when he blinks, step two: in shadows pap the wonder weapon , step three fog rolls in , the end cutscene is the reveal of chronicles 2
Or possibly his connection to the dark aether. Maybe he's bonded(?) with one of the artifacts still and that kept him alive? Maybe he time travelled? Maybe one of the Dark Aether entities is keeping him alive? They didn't get killed during the Archon right? I don't remember because I was struggling to care about the storyline during vanguard. Played the hell out of Shi no numa tho. Gotta grind levels somehow 😅

could be a "Fountain of Youth" type of thing. It would be interesting if Prima Materia is actually the antithesis of Aetherium. Aetherium corrupting and Prima Materia purifying
Yeah, towards the end of the trailer, it seemed like Samantha maxis took over the AI (S.A.M) from the dark aether after she knocked richtofen out in the elevator but the thing is, the cinematics for liberty falls take place a couple hours after the events of terminus so when she was talking to the terminus crew about the "Sentinel artifact" and the "Prima materia" she was just an AI called S.A.M, but I presume that in the next story dlc for zombies the AI will actually be Samantha maxis controlling what the AI says and does, assuming that the dlc will take place after liberty falls ofc........You all caught up now buddy?? I'm pretty sure we will see a tease or a trailer for the next dlc within the next couple weeks maybe late November or whenever tf season 1 starts 😂
It’s honestly really fascinating how they’ve been towing the line between bringing elements of Chaos in very slowly but not breaking the promise from a long time ago that Aether and Chaos wouldn’t be connected. I imagine it will eventually be broken, but in theory that promise won’t ever really be broken since the Aether story technically ended with Tag der Toten, and this is the Dark Aether story.
True buuut that promise was made by blundell I feel like the story team is just taking the chaos story and doing something with it otherwise it would’ve just faded into obscurity
Good point! I think they can easily be connected. The whole idea of the dark aether, OG aether, and chaos are that they all take place in different dimesions. So one dimension finding another dimensions reason for having zombies in their dimension (sentinel artifact) works!! Not sure what it means at this point but just that it’s easy for all of them to become one story ultimately
It can't be both "kind of connected" and "not at all connected". They're creatively bankrupt, and this is their best attempt to get people to care at all.

Hey, do we think that the SAM AI really doesn’t know where Richthofen is or do you think it’s lying, because in the liberty falls cutscene which happens at the same time as terminus, there’s some sort of Sam-esk entity that supposedly takes Richthofen into the dark aether

People keep saying Samantha is lying to our crew, cause she captured richtoften. But the one that captured richtofen is clearly the REAL samantha hence the dark aether energy, this AI samantha were with is made off of samantha from years ago too. She is entirely separate to the Samantha in the dark aether
with 115 being blue and prema materia being red make me think aetherium is 115 corrupted prema materia, which kinda explains the erratic incursions aetherium is known for, since prema materia could only corrupt when a sentinel artifact trial is active
Let me tell you. I have been asking for Chaos to return. I was really interested in that story and was disappointed that it ended. This may not be a full revival, only time will tell. However, even seeing the Sentinel Artifact in this story line is a huge step that got me hyped when I finished the EE
Honestly, bringing in Chaos is the best thing the devs could do to continue the Dark Aether story. There was so much untapped potential being left on the table with that universe and im so glad we're getting a continuation of that story. More critically, it means Treyarch has realised that Dark Aether is NOT the Aether story. Different universe, different characters doing different shit, its entirely possible that Sam and Eddie walking into the unknown at the end of Tag der Toten took them into the same universe Chaos took place in, albeit somewhat retconned.
Hell no they’re the most uninteresting of all the crews I don’t even remember a single voice line that stuck wit me n I played it relentlessly. I mean jus look at the comparison to the other crews, chaos has the typical playboy, a typically hot women, a typical smart old man, and a classic meathead it’s like a garbage movie cast of cliché characters. Now compare that to a Asian swords man, a russian solider who fought and survived in Berlin, a mad scientist, and corporal world war solider. Now let’s compare it to the SOA crew u got a boxer who cheats his fights, a corrupt cop, a stripper who murders men, and a magician who practices black magic.
Bo4 zombies slapped tho but the crew hell no. But I’ll take the chaos crew over weavers group any day like seriously tf is weaver doing in zombies😭 who’s idea was this.
11:00 maybe that's you, I'm absolutely ecstatic that Chaos and Dark Aether are connected. Also, we kinda knew this would happen since Vanguard, though I can't blame you for not knowing since you played it like once. It also introduces A LOT of cool canon, such as Mjolnir in BO2's campaign. That could damn well be canon now because of Chaos.
If this game fails he loses potential income. I’m not saying he doesn’t genuinely like the game but he does have an incentive to slightly over sell his positive attitude on it
@@shadows-xn3edsame goes for MWZ and vanguard zombies and he still openly said how he didn't like this shit so I don't think he'd just act like he likes bo6 if he doesn't really like it
Ngl even with the knowledge in mind that Chaos was never supposed to be connected, when I saw the Sentinel Artifact I legit popped off lol Chaos deserved better than the cliffhanger ending they were given
further representing chaos is bitter sweet since that never got the closure it needed and doing all this makes that more and more likely. personally i think ascension would be a cool map for them to revisit with this crew, since thats were weaver lost his eye in Bo1
The chaos storyline now being canon is just gojng to make things wacky now will be interesting to see how they write it in I assume they added because it genuinely ends in a cliff hanger and the current story has definitely been lacking to say the least b06 looks promising but still some things that could be better
The end card is step up as most recent video instead of a specific video so at the time of this video it was right but since then he has uploaded new videos and it has changed
i believe that this is the best thing that they can do for the story, it gives the story more depth and connects the old style of trayarch's story telling to their new style and i think i like it.
I do agree that it's highly likely that Chaos was also pulled into the Dark Aether at the end of Tag der Toten, and was rebooted along with Aether, but I also think it's possible that Chaos hasn't been affected in any way. Chaos could be retconned to have always taken place in the Dark Aether Storyline. It could work, because the Vanguard Dark Aether is very similar to Chaos(especially looking at Ancient Evil). The Chaos Story starts right before World War 1, so it doesn't overlap or contradict with the Dark Aether Story in any way, and since we didn't get to see where Chaos went after Ancient Evil, the entire situation could've been resolved before we get anywhere near the events of Vanguard during World War 2.
An old wives tale. Usually a piece of information that was never confirmed, believed now to be wrong. An old wise tale sounds more like how I’m going to explain Kung Fu Panda to my grandchildren.
I like how they rry to tie everything together. In vanguard, where krafft is from, there where already a few notes about the chaos story. So its cool that all comes together, i hope they make a cool thing here
This is the video I've been waiting for. I love the EE hunts and watching the boss fight, but I'm most invested in the actual lore, how the implications of what happens in each map affect the broader story. Would love a breakdown of each map and how they play into the plot. Also is there any cool stuff buried inside the intel system?
Man what an excellent breakdown. At 36, I appreciate this type of reflective story where they subtlety tell the journey and struggles of the studio within the lore. We give these guys shit, but the writers are giving it their absolute best and it was evident here. Also, I’ve always hoped they would tie all zombies lore together because WW2 and chaos both had some strengths that added to the original lore and world. Who are we to say something is or isnt possible in their created fantasy world. If they can make this work, this will be a creative achievement for this team to hang their hats on. Thanks to Milo and the devs for helping get this community back hype.
Bro this Easter egg is the most annoying one I’ve probably ever done. And I’ve been playing zombies since WAW. Kept failing in solo and co op since Friday. Got to the step where I have to defuse the bombs on round 13 today. ROUND 13! and i couldn’t even defuse them because there were TOO MANY zombies and elites as if I was on round 30. And I was only on round 13.
I’m more excited by the gameplay implications of chaos returning rather then story. They can reuse some of the chaos assets again and perhaps bring those cancelled maps too good use?
Im really curious as to when an Aether character is going to finally show up in this story, we all know Victis is alive and will return at some point. Arent the Shadow Man AND Doctor Monty and all keepers/apothicons just straight up here too? what even was the goal in Tag der toten if we just brought those with us too though, but it doesnt seem like they were killed or "left behind"
I definitely think that for some reason Richtofen’s end game is to bring back Nikolai, Takeo, and Dempsey and restore the Aether, but he has to do it in ways that are seen as bad/evil in the player’s eyes. I also think that the Sam AI has been corrupted by The Forsaken and the Dark Aether and that’s why it’s not telling the entire truth to our new crew. I hope that somehow during BO6’s life cycle we get to learn the fate of Scarlett, Diego, Bruno, and Shaw or find out that after Ancient Evil they have somehow time traveled to the present day story
Avalon is also where the Pantheon is based out of. Atleast that's what Jane Harrow says. There's also a whole mission about the bio weapon (literal zombies in campaign lol), but it never says exactly what it is. It could be connected to this story in some way.
can't help but wonder if by trying to bring his son samuel back, things will somehow get complicated and spit out stuhlinger instead. richtofen and stuhlinger were heavily connected in the original timeline after all, so its maybe not out of the realm of possibility for the dark aether or sentinel artifact or whatever richtofen ends up using, to pick up on his connection to victis samuel over son samuel. stuhlinger had alluded to being in contact with more richtofens than just ultimis or primis if i remember right. some quote about the "other other richtofen" i believe? if that came to be, it'd be interesting if richtofen ACTUALLY thought stuhlinger was his son too, believing he had just been aged up to 50/60/however old stuhlinger is due to some dark aether time manipulation. could see the two teaming up as part of a 4 man crew in a future map and having some sort of weird father/son dynamic while stuhlinger is just confused out of his mind in reality, its not something i expect to happen, but it'd be interesting if richtofen's son being named samuel turned out to be more than just a throwaway homage to stuhlinger
With the intro of liberty falls, it could be suggested that richtofen was taken either to the dark aether OR Avalon to seek the sentinel artifact by SAM. This AI isn’t benevolent because there’s no way it could’ve caused the outbreak without a plan it’s own
It would be cool if we saw a rotation of main quest characters. And maybe they could have different pros and cons. Like for instance, the S.A.M AI goes into a robot and you can play as her but since she isn’t alive she doesn’t have normal health and can only have health along the lines of armor. But she starts with 3 slots, jug gives 2 and the armor stations give 1 each. She can carry a total of 6 armor plates at once and with all the upgrades will have 6 armor slots
I wish that Richthofen is constantly plagued with dreams/visions of the aether story line, and his goal is to find and reunite with this universe’s versions of those who he sees in his dreams……reuniting with Takeo, Dempsey, and Nikolai…. Probably won’t happen because Takeo VA is retired…. But a man can hope!
Ngl my theory is that the rather story never ended, the primordial powers who created everything just have our characters running in circles and the rather story was one example of it, but over time the fabric of reality is slipping.
There was a quote during the EE or just a random quote that mentioned 'the gods' and you see the artifact on the stone. And chaos played heavily into multiple gods so we can see a bring back or....Vanguard lmaooo
Map was cool story was mid. And I think its due to us being shown whats happening instead of us as the characters exploring thru the story via gameplay. Just my opinion tho, Terminus really fun in slaying wise 😎🔥
I just love how when Strauss says he doesn't believe such bullshit is real, the others just look at him like: "Dude, our entire mission was to fight undead from another dimension !"
my main question is if krafft is back does that also mean that the "elder gods" from vangaurd are back too? if so are they gonna have any sway or power over the dark ether universe?
I hope he makes a video talking more about Krafft and Vanguard Zombies might tie in because I completely skipped that game thinking it wouldn't ever be relevant.
I think your playing into the whole idea that treyarch is speaking to old fans in this cutscene, I think the gameplay is great but the EE's are lackluster at best and that's what i personally miss from the old black ops storylines you had to actually figure shit out (both maps were solved way too fast imo) i feel people miss that feeling of uncovering an actual story, i will admit seeing chaos artifact was cool but it still seems like trick to reel people in only to be let down again
But what Treyarch see’s is people actually bothering to do EE’s these days. And that’s what they’d prefer to focus on. The high rounds are still there if you want them. The EE’s are still there on the side if you’d rather do that. Do what you want, let others do what they want. If you want EE’s like you’d find in BO3, Go play BO3. It’s still super easily accessible currently. Abuse that.
@@aHumanBeing97 look no game is perfect and while theres nothing stopping me or anyone else from booting up BO3 that doesn't really solve the problem, im not saying people should play or not play im saying personally it's not for me and that's ok people are gonna like it or do what they wanna do and they should, however i will try to the dlc's and maybe that will change my outlook on things it is early days after all
Ya got it there, it's confirmed Kortifex was Anubis or Ra, one of those-Saraxis a weird Japanese god- Belekar the Q-something god of Mexico-Inviktor was Ares- Norticus Odin. So yeah it's pretty possible
PRO TIP! Don’t only bring a Raygun and beamsmasher into the boss fight!!! They do NO DAMAGE to the boss and I got stuck in there without being able to buy ammo because it was too expensive…
I’ve never liked the Dark Aether story. But this reveal is so absurd I’m quite intrigued to see where it leads. I could see it going insanely well or horribly wrong. I hope they handle it well.
I hope they bring back Dempsey. Steve Blum is a beloved voice actor and character just like Nolan North is. I could understand retiring Nikolai because his sacrifice in the story and his voice actor passed. Also Takeos voice actor I think retired for health purposes.
I thinks its gonna end up with Samantha being the problem as it was her that started the whole multiple timeline stuff in the old storyline when she opened up a rift to d63 to talk to maxis after her original world was corrupted beyond repair. Richtofen realises this and is looking for a way to either fully fix samantha or get rid of her forever . The AI SAM probably wants to take over Sam's body to utilise her powers while Richtofen wants to get rid of Samantha's powers .
I really hope the story switches to Richtofens side at some point, and lets us know hes actually not evil and doing everything for some good reason and it leads to our crew not just trying to kill richtofen, or dying to richtoften, and they have to come together for a greater reason, maybe chaos or old aether related stuff with an enemy to them all coming back i think itd be so much missed opportunity if this is as simple as a revenge plot till the end
It does bring up a question that Chaos never answers. Why happened to the artifacts after the trial is finished? The artifact pictured is the Odin Artifact. We see the Odin Artifact explode, but was then reformed perfectly fine. The last time we saw the Odin Artifact was when the Chaos crew placed it in the iceberg. The Danu and Ra artifacts were never seen again. The Zeus artifact was supposedly still in the crew’s possession at the end of Ancient Evil.
If the chaos story is completely separate to the aether story it could be possible that we’re simply just in the chaos story now simply later in the timeline because the chaos story didn’t get sent to the dark aether like the whole of the aether story did
It would be cool if Rictofen’s “evil” plan is just him trying to bring his friends back
(Thanks everyone for the likes on this, I don’t have much knowledge of the story after Firebase Z, so I don’t really know how feasible this would even be. I’m just happy to see the story being interesting again!)

This may not be a full revival, only time will tell. However, even seeing the Sentinel Artifact in this story line is a huge step that got me hyped when I finished the EE
Honestly, bringing in Chaos is the best thing the devs could do to continue the Dark Aether story. There was so much untapped potential being left on the table with that universe and im so glad we're getting a continuation of that story.
More critically, it means Treyarch has realised that Dark Aether is NOT the Aether story. Different universe, different characters doing different shit, its entirely possible that Sam and Eddie walking into the unknown at the end of Tag der Toten took them into the same universe Chaos took place in, albeit somewhat retconned.
Hell no they’re the most uninteresting of all the crews I don’t even remember a single voice line that stuck wit me n I played it relentlessly. I mean jus look at the comparison to the other crews, chaos has the typical playboy, a typically hot women, a typical smart old man, and a classic meathead it’s like a garbage movie cast of cliché characters. Now compare that to a Asian swords man, a russian solider who fought and survived in Berlin, a mad scientist, and corporal world war solider. Now let’s compare it to the SOA crew u got a boxer who cheats his fights, a corrupt cop, a stripper who murders men, and a magician who practices black magic.
Bo4 zombies slapped tho but the crew hell no. But I’ll take the chaos crew over weavers group any day like seriously tf is weaver doing in zombies😭 who’s idea was this.
Shoving the Chaos story into this game was their only hope of it not being a huge flop.
I've always thought it was tragic that they gave up on the chaos story just as I was beginning to think it had real potential.
@@ii_wav_ii3629nah chaos slapped to
11:00 maybe that's you, I'm absolutely ecstatic that Chaos and Dark Aether are connected.
Also, we kinda knew this would happen since Vanguard, though I can't blame you for not knowing since you played it like once.
It also introduces A LOT of cool canon, such as Mjolnir in BO2's campaign. That could damn well be canon now because of Chaos.
14:06 Milo I think you need some sleep this is going too far bro 😭
Just bring back the Primis crew thats all we need
I think he likes bo6 zombies.
If this game fails he loses potential income.
I’m not saying he doesn’t genuinely like the game but he does have an incentive to slightly over sell his positive attitude on it
@@shadows-xn3edsame goes for MWZ and vanguard zombies and he still openly said how he didn't like this shit so I don't think he'd just act like he likes bo6 if he doesn't really like it
Ngl even with the knowledge in mind that Chaos was never supposed to be connected, when I saw the Sentinel Artifact I legit popped off lol
Chaos deserved better than the cliffhanger ending they were given
Nathan ? like the hot dog guy? can’t wait to see how the dlc story goes, so happy chaos is back , great vid :)
8:16 Teeeeeechnically they aren’t, because this is the Dark Aether story and not the Ether story
glad someone said it
Of course the stories can’t be connected because they have different names right 😂
The Aether story is connected to the Dark Aether story , so technically they are connected to Chaos now.
further representing chaos is bitter sweet since that never got the closure it needed and doing all this makes that more and more likely.
personally i think ascension would be a cool map for them to revisit with this crew, since thats were weaver lost his eye in Bo1
The chaos storyline now being canon is just gojng to make things wacky now will be interesting to see how they write it in
I assume they added because it genuinely ends in a cliff hanger and the current story has definitely been lacking to say the least b06 looks promising but still some things that could be better
They need to weave it all together through a multi-verse style story. Bring back all the goodies of the old maps we all miss so much
I still would like to think that Sam and Eddie are playing games on the floor in that house. BO 1/2/3 was Sams turn.
Now it's Eddie's turn.
Eddie controlled the zombies in bo2
@@cosmos37060regardless who’s turn it’s a good way to look at it
That endcard gotta be wrong. Saying there’s a video about lore while the link is to build and upgrade JETGUN by ROUND 5 no gobbles is crazy
he hasnt made the video he was referring yet, he’ll prob link it when its out
The end card is step up as most recent video instead of a specific video so at the time of this video it was right but since then he has uploaded new videos and it has changed
The truck in the Exfil area has a blood messages that says "Have Faith in Chaos" as well.
Milo to Jason: “We’ve been bamboozled, hoodwinked…-“
I love that chaos is now cannon to the story. My nostalgia receptors would be so happy if we get to see victus next somewhere in the dark ether.
i believe that this is the best thing that they can do for the story, it gives the story more depth and connects the old style of trayarch's story telling to their new style and i think i like it.
I do agree that it's highly likely that Chaos was also pulled into the Dark Aether at the end of Tag der Toten, and was rebooted along with Aether, but I also think it's possible that Chaos hasn't been affected in any way.
Chaos could be retconned to have always taken place in the Dark Aether Storyline.
It could work, because the Vanguard Dark Aether is very similar to Chaos(especially looking at Ancient Evil).
The Chaos Story starts right before World War 1, so it doesn't overlap or contradict with the Dark Aether Story in any way, and since we didn't get to see where Chaos went after Ancient Evil, the entire situation could've been resolved before we get anywhere near the events of Vanguard during World War 2.
The captions saying “Old wive tale” instead of “Old wise tale” is hilarious 😂
Old wive’s tale is correct
An old wives tale. Usually a piece of information that was never confirmed, believed now to be wrong.
An old wise tale sounds more like how I’m going to explain Kung Fu Panda to my grandchildren.
Your comment is so much funnier
If we dont get richtophen as an operator by the end of the year ill riot
The gods from the Chaos maps are all just Dark Aether creatures, calling it now🙏🙏
I like how they rry to tie everything together.
In vanguard, where krafft is from, there where already a few notes about the chaos story. So its cool that all comes together, i hope they make a cool thing here
This is the video I've been waiting for. I love the EE hunts and watching the boss fight, but I'm most invested in the actual lore, how the implications of what happens in each map affect the broader story. Would love a breakdown of each map and how they play into the plot. Also is there any cool stuff buried inside the intel system?
Strauss' whole reaction is the zombies community seeing the chaos story returning
This is what I’ve been waiting for ever since watching you complete the EE live. Man I am so excited to see where this goes.
Man what an excellent breakdown. At 36, I appreciate this type of reflective story where they subtlety tell the journey and struggles of the studio within the lore. We give these guys shit, but the writers are giving it their absolute best and it was evident here.
Also, I’ve always hoped they would tie all zombies lore together because WW2 and chaos both had some strengths that added to the original lore and world. Who are we to say something is or isnt possible in their created fantasy world. If they can make this work, this will be a creative achievement for this team to hang their hats on. Thanks to Milo and the devs for helping get this community back hype.
Bro this Easter egg is the most annoying one I’ve probably ever done. And I’ve been playing zombies since WAW. Kept failing in solo and co op since Friday. Got to the step where I have to defuse the bombs on round 13 today. ROUND 13! and i couldn’t even defuse them because there were TOO MANY zombies and elites as if I was on round 30. And I was only on round 13.
I’m more excited by the gameplay implications of chaos returning rather then story. They can reuse some of the chaos assets again and perhaps bring those cancelled maps too good use?
Chaos is back :))))
Great breakdown. I love love love the indirect message for fans old and new to come together especially after the divide over the last few months
Im really curious as to when an Aether character is going to finally show up in this story, we all know Victis is alive and will return at some point. Arent the Shadow Man AND Doctor Monty and all keepers/apothicons just straight up here too? what even was the goal in Tag der toten if we just brought those with us too though, but it doesnt seem like they were killed or "left behind"
I definitely think that for some reason Richtofen’s end game is to bring back Nikolai, Takeo, and Dempsey and restore the Aether, but he has to do it in ways that are seen as bad/evil in the player’s eyes. I also think that the Sam AI has been corrupted by The Forsaken and the Dark Aether and that’s why it’s not telling the entire truth to our new crew. I hope that somehow during BO6’s life cycle we get to learn the fate of Scarlett, Diego, Bruno, and Shaw or find out that after Ancient Evil they have somehow time traveled to the present day story
This is such prime Milo, I’ve missed this so much. Thanks Milo for all the new videos I’m loving it
Strauss has been through so much B.S in his life I don't blame him for immediately trying to bail out.
Avalon is also where the Pantheon is based out of. Atleast that's what Jane Harrow says. There's also a whole mission about the bio weapon (literal zombies in campaign lol), but it never says exactly what it is. It could be connected to this story in some way.
Well that was hallucinations tho
can't help but wonder if by trying to bring his son samuel back, things will somehow get complicated and spit out stuhlinger instead. richtofen and stuhlinger were heavily connected in the original timeline after all, so its maybe not out of the realm of possibility for the dark aether or sentinel artifact or whatever richtofen ends up using, to pick up on his connection to victis samuel over son samuel.
stuhlinger had alluded to being in contact with more richtofens than just ultimis or primis if i remember right. some quote about the "other other richtofen" i believe?
if that came to be, it'd be interesting if richtofen ACTUALLY thought stuhlinger was his son too, believing he had just been aged up to 50/60/however old stuhlinger is due to some dark aether time manipulation. could see the two teaming up as part of a 4 man crew in a future map and having some sort of weird father/son dynamic while stuhlinger is just confused out of his mind
in reality, its not something i expect to happen, but it'd be interesting if richtofen's son being named samuel turned out to be more than just a throwaway homage to stuhlinger
18:26 now I'm no scientist but the video on screen says "Free Ray Gun Easter Egg + 20 More Tips I With I Knew Sooner"
With the intro of liberty falls, it could be suggested that richtofen was taken either to the dark aether OR Avalon to seek the sentinel artifact by SAM. This AI isn’t benevolent because there’s no way it could’ve caused the outbreak without a plan it’s own
It’s so nice hearing the dialog thru character quotes now! SO SO good!
It would be cool if we saw a rotation of main quest characters. And maybe they could have different pros and cons. Like for instance, the S.A.M AI goes into a robot and you can play as her but since she isn’t alive she doesn’t have normal health and can only have health along the lines of armor. But she starts with 3 slots, jug gives 2 and the armor stations give 1 each. She can carry a total of 6 armor plates at once and with all the upgrades will have 6 armor slots
I wish that Richthofen is constantly plagued with dreams/visions of the aether story line, and his goal is to find and reunite with this universe’s versions of those who he sees in his dreams……reuniting with Takeo, Dempsey, and Nikolai…. Probably won’t happen because Takeo VA is retired…. But a man can hope!
I feel very special with my early EE calling card because of your guide
Ngl my theory is that the rather story never ended, the primordial powers who created everything just have our characters running in circles and the rather story was one example of it, but over time the fabric of reality is slipping.
There was a quote during the EE or just a random quote that mentioned 'the gods' and you see the artifact on the stone. And chaos played heavily into multiple gods so we can see a bring back or....Vanguard lmaooo
Map was cool story was mid. And I think its due to us being shown whats happening instead of us as the characters exploring thru the story via gameplay. Just my opinion tho, Terminus really fun in slaying wise 😎🔥
People asked for character quotes and less physical intel like Cold War. So they listened to exactly what we wanted
I hope this eventually goes somewhere because so far this story telling is ass. The terminus intro is the cringiest zombies content we’ve ever had
I am so excited for the upcoming story in zombies I've always loved the chaos story and to have the two possibly being combined is so nuts
2013 ghost, extinction did the Kraken better
Easy setup, difficult and unique bossfight, cool side eggs to do on the map. We are so fucking back, boys!
Im suprised you didn’t catch that AI Sam was lying about Richthofen heading to Avalon, tbf you were streaming for like 16 hours so I get it 😂
We all came from the Aether. Chaos included. Sucked into the Dark Aether brings EVERYTHING together TCHNICALLY
I just love how when Strauss says he doesn't believe such bullshit is real, the others just look at him like: "Dude, our entire mission was to fight undead from another dimension !"
my main question is if krafft is back does that also mean that the "elder gods" from vangaurd are back too? if so are they gonna have any sway or power over the dark ether universe?
I really enjoyed the Chaos Storyline so it made me very happy to see the Sentinal Artifact get brought into the Dark Aether storyline
Seeing them artifacts at the end of terminus blew my freaking mind to turn all the games together. A real COD HQ move
I hope he makes a video talking more about Krafft and Vanguard Zombies might tie in because I completely skipped that game thinking it wouldn't ever be relevant.
Prediction, DLC 1’s outbreak will be directly from a sentinel artifact trial
Oh good, all Easter eggs solved and guides are out. BO6 zombies was fun while it lasted that whole 6 hours lol.
I seen the sentinal artifact outline on the rock on one of the islands and was like oh my god bring back chaos please.
I think your playing into the whole idea that treyarch is speaking to old fans in this cutscene, I think the gameplay is great but the EE's are lackluster at best and that's what i personally miss from the old black ops storylines you had to actually figure shit out (both maps were solved way too fast imo)
i feel people miss that feeling of uncovering an actual story, i will admit seeing chaos artifact was cool but it still seems like trick to reel people in only to be let down again
But what Treyarch see’s is people actually bothering to do EE’s these days. And that’s what they’d prefer to focus on. The high rounds are still there if you want them. The EE’s are still there on the side if you’d rather do that. Do what you want, let others do what they want.
If you want EE’s like you’d find in BO3, Go play BO3. It’s still super easily accessible currently. Abuse that.
@@aHumanBeing97 look no game is perfect and while theres nothing stopping me or anyone else from booting up BO3 that doesn't really solve the problem, im not saying people should play or not play im saying personally it's not for me and that's ok people are gonna like it or do what they wanna do and they should, however i will try to the dlc's and maybe that will change my outlook on things it is early days after all
Small correction: Rictofen is the director of Requirim group and project Janus was enacted at the end of cold war zombies
In my head cannon the dark either Gods/ entities from Vanguard are the same or at least connected to the chaos Gods now. But that’s just my opinion.
Ya got it there, it's confirmed Kortifex was Anubis or Ra, one of those-Saraxis a weird Japanese god- Belekar the Q-something god of Mexico-Inviktor was Ares- Norticus Odin. So yeah it's pretty possible
My theory too
Let's just see if merging the story lines actually works out or if it just ruins the zombies story to an irreparable degree
Milo did you just completely ignore that the AI lied by sayint that she doesn't know where Richtofen is?
PRO TIP! Don’t only bring a Raygun and beamsmasher into the boss fight!!! They do NO DAMAGE to the boss and I got stuck in there without being able to buy ammo because it was too expensive…
Milo Lore Video, Letssssss Gooooooooo
I’ve never liked the Dark Aether story. But this reveal is so absurd I’m quite intrigued to see where it leads. I could see it going insanely well or horribly wrong. I hope they handle it well.
I can officially say my brain can't keep up with all this new zombies story. Too complicated
I hope they bring back Dempsey. Steve Blum is a beloved voice actor and character just like Nolan North is.
I could understand retiring Nikolai because his sacrifice in the story and his voice actor passed. Also Takeos voice actor I think retired for health purposes.
I thinks its gonna end up with Samantha being the problem as it was her that started the whole multiple timeline stuff in the old storyline when she opened up a rift to d63 to talk to maxis after her original world was corrupted beyond repair. Richtofen realises this and is looking for a way to either fully fix samantha or get rid of her forever . The AI SAM probably wants to take over Sam's body to utilise her powers while Richtofen wants to get rid of Samantha's powers .
I really hope the story switches to Richtofens side at some point, and lets us know hes actually not evil and doing everything for some good reason and it leads to our crew not just trying to kill richtofen, or dying to richtoften, and they have to come together for a greater reason, maybe chaos or old aether related stuff with an enemy to them all coming back
i think itd be so much missed opportunity if this is as simple as a revenge plot till the end
I’m all for chaos to be apart of the story if it’ll invite more creative maps like Ancient Evil and we get more mythology within the story!
It does bring up a question that Chaos never answers. Why happened to the artifacts after the trial is finished? The artifact pictured is the Odin Artifact. We see the Odin Artifact explode, but was then reformed perfectly fine. The last time we saw the Odin Artifact was when the Chaos crew placed it in the iceberg. The Danu and Ra artifacts were never seen again. The Zeus artifact was supposedly still in the crew’s possession at the end of Ancient Evil.
If the chaos story is completely separate to the aether story it could be possible that we’re simply just in the chaos story now simply later in the timeline because the chaos story didn’t get sent to the dark aether like the whole of the aether story did
Holy shit your actually insane now you just carried that projection on the whole scene bro😂
