David suffers from being completely overshadowed by his father Alex. I think the issue is that besides his trauma with Menedez, there isn't much to him. His whole character revoles around being just a victim of losing his father and being psychologically scarred by some psychotic drug lord for decades. He doesn't have that much personality that makes him stand out from his father outside of being a morally good soldier. That and Treyarch doesn't want to use him again for some reason
He's called Section because his mother had to have a c-section for him to be born. 100% factual facts right here. Wait what, people are taking this seriously??
Nope, I was watching a friend back then play and he sneezed, causing him to miss. When “Menedez” was on the ground, we thought it would be funny to shoot him in the balls.
to be fair he's a little kid at that time and probably doesn't know how to express his emotions properly. his first jab was to try and guilt his dad (especially that bit about his own mother) to make him not go, and the second time around, he probably realised his dad was actually considering going back once the gravity of it was revealed, so he was more open about it
Yeah. I personally like hudson as a character in black ops. Interogator: do you remember Jason Hudson? Mason: yeah, Mr shades, the guy's a fucking icecube that's why i like the bastard.
Yeah, Considering how badass he was in black ops 1, How he stuck up for mason in black ops 1s intel. The way he was treated after the game was such bad writing
I mean he doesn't change that much though. From BO1 to 2, He's not much of an asshole as much as he overvalues his mission's succsss over other people's personal feeling, even if that means hiding crucial intel over your team mates

If you’re a section commander usually you have the call sign section and they called mason a section commander in the game so I mean that might be the reason.

@@codythompson6342 I know, it’s such a crazy and unexplainable feeling whenever I remember all those amazing moments I had on this game with my best friends, zombies- fucking multiplayer man this game was so goated
I really wish we saw a younger David in Cold War. He would’ve been 2 in the campaign and 5 in Multiplayer/Warzone, so it would’ve been interesting to see where his abandonment issues stemmed from.
The best way Alex Mason would be brought in as a Cold War operator is that they establish that Mrs. Mason’s date of death is some time in 1984. David said in the subtitles at 2:49 that his father left when Mrs. Mason died (and if her death was in 1984, David would be five years old). This would make Alex Mason’s temporary retirement at least last two years which would also help explain why his sudden return to active service be unexpected for both Masons.
MW converging with BO is honestly the best thing ever, given that back when MW3 came out they said that the two stories did not cross over and were two separate universes

U couldve easily guessed David was born in 1979. How i know cause the 1st mission is set in 1986 and in that year mason tells us how old is David mason. 7 years old.
