:D
Why does the ending gave me zetsubou no shima vibes
Took 4 maps for the cutscene to give me goosebumps here to hope for the next zombies
This storyline is gonna continue in vanguard isn't it?
On the Warheads are people turned by the dark aether. So maybe the friends are the bodies strapped to the Warheads?
I absolutely love the way Richthofen looks at the camera before he shuts the door
It's perfect
the director is richtofen!?!?! how much have i missed damn it????
@Nicholas altamirano Eddie is just a kid name for Edward, aka Edward Richthofen.
The way he looks at the camera, makes him look like ultimus Richthofen so that makes him evil
I’m so happy our sociopath Richtofen is back baby
Adler we need to talk about Richthofen and rest of Requiem I need to know about blacksite 13 and it Location
I noticed he changed his hairstyle too because technically speaking this richtofen is american in a way so hes not the same crazy richtofen we met so 🤷
@@shadowleaderjtf2780 We have a job to do
Heyyy Adler
It's good to have you back Adler
Also, keep in mind, Janus was the God with two faces. The pictures you posted in the video all show the two faces, and for Western mythology, he is often seen as the father of having good and evil inside you. You can think of Janus as the angel and devil sitting on either shoulder arguing of what choice to make.
It's almost hinted at him knowing about the previous reality, and if he is aware of the previous timeline of the previous Either Story, Project Janus might very well be a way to combine the two realities again. And if he is indeed aware of both realities, then he would literally be Janus, and that would make him more dangerous then anything from the Either could ever be! Gonna be interesting to see where they take the story next.
I absolutely love this theory
I'm glad someone else other than myself has said this. Everytime Dalek has brought up Janus i keep posting a comment on how he's know as the two-faced god etc. So thank you for also being on the same wavelength as myself and i'm sure many others :')
@@TheGoldeneye9 Indeed! There is even a very very rare medical condition for cats called Janus cats where the cat literally has two faces and most often three eyes.
Seems strange though, though more people knew about the fact that he has two faces, that he is not to be trusted, as just because you can see one face, doesn't mean you know what his true face actually is saying as they are literally opposite one another.
As another add on to your theory do you think it is possible that this Richtofen we see in the cutscene is just the Richtofen that died to make Eddie? To me that would make sense seeing as how aging and his environment would essentially corrupt him thus he would no longer be innocent Eddie but revert to an Evil Richtofen
Hugh Janus
Two theories, one the area shown is where the inversion rockets hit causing an outbreak zone that he will use to gain access to the dark aether, for either his own purposes or (this is a stretch) to free Samatha (he does say he wants to meet an old friend, could be referring to Sam). Theory two is that if this is the Mariana Trench, one thing we have been shown is that Apothicans Ancients dwell deep down below so possibly one has jump the gap using the inversion rockets and he wants to use/study it.
Honestly these are really cool theories and I lowkey kinda hope this is where COD 2023 goes.
Ya
Fun fact there are 4 story radios across the map available once per round
Ravenov: spawn
Forsaken: the amplifier (available after pressing second button near pack a punch)
Gorev and jager: bar roof
Kravchenko and peck: in front of bunker portal
Additional information is added as you progress through the main Easter egg
Remember in outbrake maxis says to put something in the Pacific Ocean and he could search for the rocket that was sent there by maxis and require help from some ‘old friends’
no
You know i always thought maxis was good character
If he named his son Samuel, then could that be a reference to Stuhlinger, naming him after one of his old friends. I mean all versions of the original characters had shared memories of their other selves, perhaps he named him after Samuel to honor his sacrifice in closing the multiverse.
Or maybe stuhlinger in this dimension was the son of eddy and Maxis
Coming from Blood of the Dead where it was hard to watch the life fade from Richtofen in the dark mechanism, I want that damn bastard in the chair again holy hell watching all the strike team in full igc just to be framed and arrested sparks a hatred in Richtofen I haven't felt since the Gorod Krovi escort missions
Hes the best character hands down.
@@pi-jichuu6347 There are now three versions of Richtofen, and this one, Eddie, is far closer to Ultimus than Primis
Ultims is my favorite ngl
@@Bloodfury4270people did say they wanted that ultimus feel again 😅
Absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! This is so perfect for any zombie fan who has been playing since day 1. Thank you SO much!!!!
The forsaken ending shocked me the most as if treyarch took a entire u-turn
Dalek: you probably have a lot of questions.
Me: oh yes and I have A LOT of them.
Imagine if the inversion warheads have pulled blood of the dead from the dark aether and left the island in the middle of the pacific
BRUH 😳
Woah.
OMG 😱 I
That’s an excellent theory!! Considering we hear the blood of the dead soundtrack at the end of the cutscene, the place is in the middle of the ocean so I can see this happening!
Yknow that could be true, everything did get banished to the Dark Aether and there’s a chance it could of pulled BOTD or even anotber familiar map into the middle of the pacific, I just guess we’ll have to keep waiting
The moon on his desk gives me chills
Plot twist: the boy who died called Samuel was actually Samuel Richtofen, and Edward is not gonna stop until Project Janus brings back his son.
I was thinking Samuel Stuhlinger but that is a stretch haha.
@@cowboyfromhell6669 if only i loved the bo2 gang
I love how Treiarc had planned on ending the Aether story and start a new story with Chaos but in the end scrapped the chaos storyline and just created a continuation of Aether in a sense
So Eddie finally had his turn to make his story
Heh. I see whatcha did there. I like that reference. 😊
Doubt that is Eddie but not a Richtofen
@@Antonio-ys5zd it's literally the exact model as Richtofen and confirmed to be "eddie" and Eddie is Richtofens soul basically
@@sirspoonkm. and eddie is a pure soul so even a slight corruption means Eddie is dead
@@Antonio-ys5zd not exactly but ok
Eddie never got his turn that’s why he tortured Samantha
True 😳🤔
Underated
True
Insane bro
Lmfaoo
Some old Comrades -Price 2019
Some old Friends -Peck 1990
A little reference...
"He is holding a weapon or potentially on a boat, it's hard to tell." Um... dude that's a jet cockpit...
My personal opinion is that Peck is going to help get our requiem strike team along with everyone else out of containment, although that could be because I've always had a sweet spot for Peck and I might just want to see him do something good for us, but that's just my theory
I think they hinted to that with him helping before and I think our friends that got arrested are gonna be the new crew to get maxis back
@@5310yryr That would be amazing
Plot Twist: Richthofen’s son Samuel is actually Samuel Stullinger and that’s why in previous games Richthofen has such a connection to him. Don’t hate me for this.
No you are along the right lines but I believe Eddie died and Ultimis Richtofen reclaimed his soul
@@Antonio-ys5zd that could be an excellent explainer, would explain how he knew how to contain the Forsaken in the sphere, and why he designed it like Sophia.
@@KoltVEVO thank you! On other comments on other videos I keep trying to tell everybody it isn't Eddie but no one will listen
@@Antonio-ys5zd you are not wrong. He definitely favors that Richthofen. In his demeanor and the way he looks. Ultimate and Primis Richthofen looked a tad different in the face to me.
@@JayGib_SFC thank you too! Tbh his face looks like a mix of Richtofen and Dempsey
I mean there was probably something richtofen said to Eddie when he collected his soul and to Becareful when Samantha gets older and probably gave him a plan to remember as Eddie grew up
We also must remember that (even if they don’t write it this way they have before) it could be a hive mind system from previous iterations of Richthofen and he very may well remember things but won’t show it.
At the end where Peck points could be all the things you said in the video, but also Division 9 if existing could be Zetsubo. Also there could be the Foresaken there.
Zetsubou and the rest of Divison 9 and all that were sucked into the DA
@@maccwyd Yes I know, but like the first map in Cold War it could be equivalent of the Division 9 in this dimension.
I was beyond shocked like I’m kinda a little left wanting a tad bit more. I wish there was maybe a little dialogue or something. I am excited for what is coming next!
-HulkageSupreme
This vid had me jumping out of my chair, with richtofen child who might of died, blood of the dead references, and peck not even working with requiem, Peck might be going to that island for strike team, I hope we get a richtofen operator in Cold War or vanguard
Eddie being unveiled as the Director was very somewhat predictable. I think Eddie being the Forsaken himself would've been more mind blowing
That isn't Eddie though
@@Antonio-ys5zd that is eddie bud
@@pizzabeast2498 no it isn't. Evidence supports me
@@Antonio-ys5zd then who is it?
I noticed the Monty house in the snow globe on my second viewing and was shocked
I'm surprised that with the rift missiles site being where he's going, references to blood of the dead and the "old friends" line people aren't thinking this could be the OG crew. Definitely a strong possibility especially with Richthofen being back
I'm thinking Victis is who he is referring to
Richtofen is one that you don't replace when it comes to voice acting and I hope trayarch will bring the original boys
I am wondering what they have done with the forsaken in 5 years and I wonder if Sam remembers Eddie
Man I just really wished we had a face to face talk with Sam and Eddie! Oh well this is very interesting to say the least! I think I have finally figured out Eddie's personality and where he is coming from. From what I have gathered he is a member of a group that's probably going to be Kraft's Cult, which we are going to explore in Vanguard! He had a family, wife and son, named Samuel either after Stulinger or Samantha, and he lost them in a fire which Samantha and Weaver didn't prevent! With nothing to lose he has focused on this group and their twisted goals. It also explains why he got a kick out of torturing Samantha. However I feel that he still somewhat cares for her since she is the only one that he has left!So I am assuming that the next treyarch game will be about Eddie being split between the group that he is a member of and his friendship with Samantha. Don't tell me though that this was the end for Sam. I literally felt nothing when she 'sacrificed' herself. I said this before this game wasn't enough for something like that.
Maybe the first map of the next canon game will be a prison map where the requiem is in jail and peck starts an outbreak leading to a new blood/mob of the dead map where we try to break out weaver and the other scientists
Aged like wine fella
I like how the cube located in town square.
Cube=square.
Eddie has the Kronorium.
He is called the director for a reason.
He somehow got it from the Dark Aether.
This ending was actually very good i cant wait for it to return
The fact that we have to wait 3 years to find out what will happen is really annoying. Also, by any chance this also kinda hints when is the next games takes place at least a bit? Assuming the that forsaken happened in 1985, them this is in 1990. So there's a good chance that the next zombies game is happening in 1990s.
it has to be the one after vanguard
Treyarchs next game will be set during the gulf war more than likely
@@LjDVS but I've seen leakers saying that it's set in the near future.
@@parsakoolaji2222I think he means zombies storyline wise
i think the place he points is referencing where vanguard zombies is because he is most likely looking into what happened during vanguards events
I did this Easter egg after only playing the map 3 times. It’s really that easy all you have to worry about is that boss fight. I died at the boss fight because conveniently the wonder weapon runs out of ammo so fast.
When you use it as a melee weapon and you have melees at tier 5 it basically turns you immortal
just completed the easter egg and saw the cutscene earlier today and iv'e been trying to look at why this is how it ended
I’m happy that Richtofen is back! Hopefully he becomes a operator for this season reloaded and for the NATO side?? And in the first picture he is on a plane apparently he was in the Air Force.
The last one would be a great omach to the real life Richthofen
A reward for completing all easter eggs
@@o-pitamask4698 the what
This is the only Easter egg that actually gave me the chills. Hopefully new zombies maps are in Cold War and still free.
this is exactly what ive been waiting for
Hear me out. I think vanguard zombies will take place over a 30 or so year timespan and will have us saving richtofen's son, which would make vanguard technically a prequel sequel
Also this means today if Rictoffen is alive in the 80s so are the other members of the old crew! When did said he’s going to see some old friends in ice land I think he’s referring to the team from Tag Der Toten could be Samuel and that team but also remember that Nikolai was recorded there as he gives directions so he and the crew must of been there! We are all headed for some cool stuff!
Janus is the God of doorways, meaning he plans on opening portals to the dark aether, or Agartha
Maybe Richtofen wants to bring back the original crew...
Remember how the Apothicon was found at the bottom of the Pacific and it's blood obtained for the Agarthan device? Maybe Peck's looking for an Apothicon..
Doing this Easter egg was fun
Just finished it about a min ago snd i cant believe he came back after all these years 😭
Thats either where the team is being held or the crystals somehow opened up a portal for zombies to come through
I hope the OG Crew comes back even if it gets rid of the playable operators I would love to play as the crew again
I knew that the director was richtofen as a possibility because is seemed like he was really close to her the whole time
It may connect broken arrow into this new timeline. Peck leading research and coming to a similar understanding that both Eddie and Maxis on the dark aethers limitations. If Eddie has any recollection of his past lives he would know about the cycle. Knowing exactly when the return they will return and what could be done to perpetuate the cycle allowing it to evolve. So much lore dump on this last map has me hyped for our story going forward. Vanguard will change how we view storytelling and COD 2023 will set the standard for how we experience.
Same experience of the last two games, lmfao
@@Robyn-- Take the red pill and your experience will never be the same. This story is just getting interesting. We’ve been following these characters for a decade and it’s almost time to see them out. However our story is about to embark on a journey unseen in our time. Bus route B does exist and things are just getting started.
Another easter egg in eddies office at 4:00 you can see a MOON replica on a shelf
F for respect for requiem and a amazing ending
this is definitely the map and cutscene they needed to get the ball rolling with this storyline. Super excited for what comes next.
Hey Jon, is there a chance that we could get a reward for completing all the Easter eggs in Cold War, like a new Operator or a new weapon?
Maybe a bit of a stretch, but the spot on the map that Peck is pointing at could also be zetsubou? It kind of makes sense since Treyarch has been doing a lot of call back maps and reskins and if richtofen is still alive, perhaps takeo is too and he will be found soon.
I think it's the spot where the missiles landed from the 1. Outbreak ee
And the old Richtofen isn't alive. That Richtofen we saw is Eddie. He walked with Sam in the Tag der Toten ending into thos universe. The others are dead unfortunately
Richtofen was an American fighter pilot in the photo on his desk
Flashback to when the version of Richthofen who gave his life just to be betrayed said he was “the nicest one.” Makes me think something bad is coming.
My theory is that project Jannas is Richtofen wife's name and that you are right that he wants to bring her and their son back, using the dark energy
I think project Janus is the shutting down of Requiem and the TRANSITION of everyone from strike team into a prison camp
good idea
No Its not
Project Janus is Something Else
Read The Screen Idiot
Project Janus is Probably Gonna be The sequel Or something
I think pack is going to the Mariana Trench to find the warhead so he go back in time so save the requiem team
I feel like Peck and Beck are the same person in different time periods
It's clear as day that the picture on the left on Richthofen's office desk is him in a pilot's jumpsuit posing in the cockpit of a jet (the open canopy as well as the red triangle are giveaways). My guess is it looks like a Corsair II.
Looking at the cutscene at the end if you slow it down when he is passing behind the desk you get a view of his left hand. If he is married where is the ring? Or was the theory correct and it could have been his wife and kid?
Good spot!
Maybe he ain’t married
@@user-qs6lh2vd6x Have you played Firebaze Z?
@@macchillin1927 yes?
@@user-qs6lh2vd6x Have you done the easter egg?
4:12 That's a fighter jet. Richtofen was a jet pilot?
Honoring nikolai maybe
Damn it Richthofen I thought we were done with this
Theory: The place on the map is where the sphere thing is and because Peck was with requiem what if he wants to free Maxis because they had some kind of past.
Well he did throw her into the dark aether in Firebase Z
He could also just want to stop Richtofen as who knows how bad Project Janus has gotten in the 5 year time skip
@@KoltVEVO true
@@trouble3911_ good point
@@deadshotdaiquiri3096 also on the map that peck pointed to was the exact same point the missiles in the outbreak easter egg landed in the ocean
I'm really surprised not many people are asking WHO THE HELL is the director talking to? Who is involved in project Janus? Richtofen was obvious to us, but I feel there's a lot more behind this curtain
I loved the forsaken map I loved the wonder weapon but the Easter egg itself was a let down the boss fight was fun and the ending cutscene was amazing I’m glad I enjoyed the end of cw seeing as it lost me half way thru it makes me really remember and enjoy why I love zombies so much and I can’t wait to see what Eddie has in store
Now WE will know If this is the Bad Version of Richthofen or the good one
Or both at this point
@@drawnborn5896 yes but this is the young Richthofen He can be Like the primis or like nazi Richthofen one of them or both you right
He would name his son Samuel because that is one of the names he heard that night at the end of tag der Toten he wither wants to bring back his son or bring back the old universe
Imma be honest. I thought that the zombie for each game was random but until I saw this vid and another one that covers all the events, and I learned that it's all connected
Imagine if we got the og crew in the new game that would be class
This is my first Zombies game, but this ending hit me hard. Really hard. Like, I feel really sad from this. Am I alone in that?
Richtofen looks like he's standing in a Jet's cockpit.
It'd be awesome to see he remembered the Ather story from before.
Sam may have forgotten due to the dark ether causing amnesia.
Damn it Richtofen i tought we were done with this!!!!
I think that "plane" is one of those freezing chambers that they used to "store" people until they needed. And remember we still need to know how Samanther want to revenge her dead dad who was killed by the shadowman in the "orginal" circel. In BO 4 the crew broke the circel and send Samanther into a dimension that didn't had this circel. Mabye there that Samamanther want to build a way on how to get her revenge on the shadowman. (And why not use an powerful emotion unstable version of herself as an super weapon that get shome hyper training in the dark ather?)
I'm just glad Richtophen is back 🙂
I’m gonna take a wild guess and say the dark aether storyline is going to expand moreso into cod mobile… maybe there will be another bo game in a few years, but I’m betting more on mobile… also, I wouldn’t be surprised if the final dlc Easter egg for vanguard time skips either to Richthofen becoming director, or even seeing what peck was planning…
Richtofen is standing in the cockpit of a jet. The picture on the left
Just a theory…Janice could be the name of his wife. The one weaver possibly killed. That just begs the question, why did weaver want her dead and could this all be a way richtophen thinks he can bring back his family?
All the Alcatraz references could be hinting at a prison break peck has planned for the strike team. In return they will help him retrieve something from the dark either
It kinda sucks that they are continuing this amazing story too vanguard zombies :/.....
Love you videos!!!! And btw idk if you remember me from a while ago but I passed my drivers test! Thanks to you @mrdalekJD
Congrats 🎉🎊🍾🎈 to you shooot!!!! Now you get to experience road rage with the rest of us lol 😂. Real talk though, congrats.
-HulkageSupreme
Also think of where forsaken was sent to… maybe there on the map and also didn’t the tempest block the rockets from being launched?
Wish the old friends were Dempsey, Nikolai and Takeo 🙏🏻
They're dead unfortunately
@@privat1808 Is it a different universe? I'm not completely up to date with the storyline after BO3
@@bradderswtid4629 they had to sacrifice themselves in the Tag der Toten ending. To break the cycle and destroy the multiverse. No more element 115, the apothicons, the keepers... Everything was sent into the darl aether. Except two Childs... Samantha and Eddie (Richtofen) they walked into this new universe. Just play bo4 or watch the endings on RUclips if you missed that much
@@privat1808 Cheers dude
I believe Project Janus is exactly what it sounds like, from the mythos; *Endings.* Eddie, knowing the entirety of Requiem (and us) wants to save Sam, has them all locked away. Because, the only way they could do that, is by re-opening the connection between their world and the Dark Aether. He remembers everything, and probably knows quite a bit from having spent time around the Primis crew, while they were at the house (as we can see that; but they have foggy memories of their own time spent in Agartha, however- from Element 115/Aetherium exposure). And so, because he knows there is no safe way to rescue Sam without causing more outbreaks- he decides to call it there. *For now.* However, we see Dr. Peck who knows of the Inversion Warheads sent into the Pacific; it is likely him, who will attempt to rescue Sam for saving his life- and, everyone else's. Eddie doesn't want anyone else to suffer under the curse of Zombies; even at the cost of his only childhood friend. Clearly he was okay with harming her, both physically and emotionally- but as we know, very reluctant to do so. My only wish is that this Richtofen wouldn't just give up on Sam, and work with Peck to save her in the next one. It's also very, *very* plausible that Richtofen may have mentioned the Victis crew to Dr. Peck; and so we very well may get Chronicles 2 in Cold War in the next year or two, focusing on Dr. Peck utilizing them in the Dark Aether in order to rescue Sam.
I'm also really hoping we get to see Richtofen as a playable character, who may decide that "enough is enough," and that "if you're going to save Sam, then I'll help do it my damn self".
I think peck realizes who the director is.. maybe when he says he’s going to see old friends maybe he’s going to help the requiem team and undo the the bad things that he has done. Maybe seeing how he was wrong when the forsaken showed up. Just a theory tho?
I felt like they should have used the song that’s life for the end scene
Thats what all the people say.
There are always consequences- Richtofen
I do feel bad that he lost his child though...
So what's going to be happening to our main cast what's going to be happening the Weaver was going to be happening to all of them
Fun thing is I was also thinking that the director looked an awful lot like Richtofen but I wasnt sure as i didn't get a proper look at the desk. Now im glad to see I was correct about him being related to him.
Came back to this after the Liberty Falls trailer came out... We may actually get to see Richthofen actually try to rebuild his family
Could be cool if we finally get an Underwater Atlantis map in the Marina Trench
He back baby
Im not sure if someone has already theorized this but that Graffiti in the No one Escapes alive part of the Easter egg i believe is Samantha after an extended amount of time in the Dark Aether, It would explain why The forsaken was saying that this is what will happen if they defeat him so he could be foreshadowing the future events that could lead to Samantha taking his place as the high elder god of the Dark Aether and having her mind twisted to kinda follow the same motives that Zykov did. If the theory that peck wants to use the Warheads that landed in the pacifistic are true and the requiem strike team are there as well. Then if he frees them before using the warheads to enter a breach to the Dark Aether he could then enter it and would be in surprise as to see that Samantha would have taken the role that the forsaken had originally sat in. I know there are a lot of Holes in this theory and that it could be fleshed out much more but i just wanted to get the idea out there and maybe people can maybe fill the holes that might still be left with this theory.
I think it's safe to assume that the boy named Samuel was richtofens child. Eddie at one point would have at least heard of stuhlinger (don't remember if they met) so maybe he named his child after him. Stuhlinger was the only one who could hear richtofen, anyway
Is this Eddie possessed by an Ultmis version from The Giant? I mean it's kinda not a far fetched if the Ultimis that Primis Richthofen killed in there was accidentally absorbed into the Summoning Key, and when Monty reformed the absorbed souls into kids, the Giant Ultimis Richthofen possessed Eddie?
Maybe project Janus means Richtofen will go back to the endstation project in Vanguard at some point
