Notes/Corrections
Extinction was later made into a Willard Wyler film, so it should be included under Infinite Warfare Zombies.
An Infinity Ward developer confirmed that Infinite Warfare is not connected to Modern Warfare. Additionally, all references to older games were just meant to be easter eggs, so Ghosts was likely never intended to be connected. Although I’d argue that the RPR Evo constitutes more than just an easter egg, but the Ripper platform could just exist in multiple timelines.

I've decided to start putting any notes or corrections in the description. I'll try to keep this updated with any new information I find.
trhe original four being on call of the dead could fit into the original timeline bc the orignial four characters are apart of the easter egg
Advanced warfare is supposed to be after Bo 3s campaign it was meant for future narrative same with bo2 and bo3 they were looking for the future same with infinite warfare…
This is why shadows of evil is more of a in between timeline type of ordeal wether future proves past and past proves future event…
Call of Duty, beloved military franchise;
"Okay so first we start with creation, Agartha and the Dark Aether, it is between these two realms..."
Lol
Bro explained the zombies timeline less than a minute and I actually understood it
Well, he just left out most of what was in the sandwich and just talked about the cycle, the cycle breaking, and then the banishment of the entire multiverse which resulted in the new cod shared timeline.
Yeah that's actually crazy,it's the first time i see him, but i feel to say thay this guy deserves more subs
In order to explain the series timeline, homeboy had to introduce the headache that is the Zombies timelines 😂
One of my favorite interpretations was that the Ray Gun easter egg in WaW mission: Little Resistance is an anomaly. And that by Miller picking up the Ray Gun he will indivertibly curse that timeline.
Could the same thing be said about Hudson obtaining the thunder gun in the Hong Kong mission too?
Isn’t it crazy how zombies, the silly third game mode, is the reason for the MW rebooted timeline and the combination of the Black Ops and Modern Warfare’s storylines
Unfortunate

?
Ever since that 3rd game mode got kick started it has always been bigger than all the rest of CoD as far as content, time, and effort goes
@@scarym0vles024 factually incorrect
@@Lin_Eileendefinitely not
One quick thing, which kinda means nothing, but the detective in shadows of evil references the mob of the dead crew. I believe that implies that, while eventually forming its own pocket universe, it branched off of the origins and shadows timeline
I’m pretty sure shadows and origins are the “original” universe like Sal, Finn, etc. come from, due to all the weird shit in Alcatraz they get sent to this pocket dimension and vanish from dimension 63
Well yeah, he was the one who arrested Sal I believe or Finn iirc plus the plane Icarus from Mob can be seen in Shadows of Evil.
you forgot to mention that Extinction is now a Willard Wyler movie within Infinite Warfare zombies, the radios in Beast from Beyond continue the story after Exodus.
Shame that continuation was total garbage that was better off not being there for what it did
Good point, I should have put Extinction under IW Zombies. But does it connect to Beast from Beyond? I thought Poindexter called it a “rewrite.”
Quick thing, infinite warfare has a ship that was named after task force 141. I think there’s a blurb about how it’s a tribute to the people who saved the Russian president, which means it’s talking about MW3 from 2011. So one timeline could be all WW2 games, the modern warfare trilogy, ghosts, and then infinite. Maybe after world war 3 weakened the US the mostly untouched South America was able to take advantage of the situation and take over
That would have been cool, but Ghosts’s lore doesn’t really work with Modern Warfare. The Federation rose to power when the oil from the Middle East was destroyed sometime before 2015. Modern Warfare 2 is set in 2016 with the Middle East intact and no mention of the Federation.
@@theGODZILLA150 just via head cannon I think I could reason that there were bigger fish to fry during the events of modern warfare and we only see the game from the perspective of people dealing directly with Makarov, that being Delta Force, TF141, and I’m pretty sure the SAS or whatever the British faction was. For all we know all the federation stuff could be going on in the background without our knowledge only because we’re preoccupied with WW3 and while the US is aware of the threat they can’t afford to deal with it at the moment. The US being weakened by WW3 significantly also would help to explain how it could even be taken over more thoroughly than the Russians could. It would also be cool to imagine that Ghost and Roach had their stories told by Price after modern warfare and Ghost became a sort of legend in the military leading to the idea of Ghosts. Maybe Elias’s story refers to the raid on Makarov’s estate. Definitely a stretch but so is South America becoming one or taking over the US or Red Dawn becoming real so I’d never say anything is too far.
@@theGODZILLA150tbf, there's more evidence that the original MW games are canon to IW than Ghosts to IW. A lot of games call back to older titles, while they necessarily aren't canon. The Odin model could just be an Easter egg.
@@theGODZILLA150Captian Price was in infinite warfare btw

I would say this is the most accurate anyone can get to the cod timeline so far. All I really knew is that the end of Tag der Toten reset the universes to one timeline which is why bits and pieces of the other cod franchises can be seen in this new main timeline
from my research this is actually pretty inaccurate
possibly the best cod content in years , please do more of those , i know this wont help much but i will try to spread ur content as much as possible to the world cuz you desrve it
Call of duty WW2 zombies share universe with WW2 multiplayer. In a map of War mode in multiplayer we can see in intro of axis that there is advanced weapon in the bunker and you have protect it from allies team. If allies win WW2 zombies dont happen but if axis wins in that match then Zombies happen.
Bro just casually explained the zombies storyline 💀
I remember hearing that the Forest was actually in the Dark Aether, but I could be wrong there. Fantastic video though.
That would be interesting that extinction and infinite warfare zombies are in this new dark ether universe
The professionalism on this video is off the charts!! Keep it up
wild that Black ops 2 is actually Happening in Real life, and how we are getting a Black ops 2 like game in 2025
This is the stuff I love. You're the only Zombies/COD RUclipsr that makes super creative content like this (that I know of) and it is incredible. Please keep up the good work!
That cod 3 music. The nostalgia is real. Man I loved that game. I miss the max lobbies playing CTF. Just driving around running people over and the sniping was so the skilled.
I swear to God they confirmed WWII and Advanced Warfare was in the same universe on twitter. There was a character with the same actor and same name in both games and SHG confirmed the WWII character was the Grand Father of the Advanced Warfare character.
I completely forgot their names. I can't seem to find it from a quick google search
Honestly, I remember hearing the opposite back before WWII came out. But maybe that was just in reference to Zombies, I can’t remember
I think infinite warfare is in the original modern warfare and ww2 cod timeline it has a ton of references to task force 141 and modern warfare characters and I think ghosts is just its own timeline, I do actually think advanced warfare is part of the new timeline since it is shown in the intro cutscene and they added a few weapons that reference or originated in advanced warfare and it’s set in the 2050s so it doesn’t conflict with the current day stories that modern warfare is making,
Bro I laughed when Richtofen shot his alter self right after you said "monkey business"
It would be pretty cool if they made the next MW game a prequel to a new ghosts game remake. I feel like that could work 🤔
Imagine they make a Call of duty inspired by TVA from Loki series,like the protagonists are soldiers that protects the multiverse from anomalies like they jumping to universe to universe cleaning up the mess cause by the anomalies.
There actually been mentioned in vanguard and cold war with cod ww2
Lewis Howard mention his brother Marcus Howard in cod ww2
Ahnenerbe was mentioned in cold war outbreak
I'm so glad someone made a video on this.
Wow! This video is so well put together.
Impressive.
Keep uploading videos like this man! These are really a breath of fresh air compared to other content!
That was very thorough
still the most unique and intriqguing call of duty related channel, keep at it bro
Loving the channel so far. Subbed to see more quality content!
A few things to note: Black Ops Cold War made Black Ops Declassified non-canon. Declassified depicts Menendez's Father being killed in a very different way than we see on the Cartel map in BOCW. Another thing is that while yes the original Black Ops campaign dimension split off from the Prime Dimension that doesn't mean it didn't have 115. In fact, Revelations depicts the Apothicons spreading 115 across the entire multiverse so every universe should have it in some form. Despite this the early events of the Aether story does happen in the og BO campaign timeline, the computer's lore in the main menu eleborates on the extent of Der Riese's research. It's been awhile since I read up on the old ass Aether story lore but I do recall Der Riese being very important to BO3 and BO4. I also recall 115 being name dropped in Nightmares, something to do with Nova 6 and 115 being used together or something like that though all I really remember is that it felt like a predecessor to the Chaos story. Oh yeah, I even remember the BO4 comics (not the Chaos one) name dropping a name of a faction from Nightmares. The Treyarch Call of Duty lore goes way fucking deep and I feel I've lose a bit of my sanity just trying to recall it. The simplicity of the Dark Aether story is a very welcome change but that doesn't mean I don't also love the batshit crazy lore that came from the Aether story. (pssst BO3's story and lore is also really fun to learn about, its worldbuilding is one of the best things to come from the campaign!)
You’re wrong about Declassified. The game goes out of its way to set Cartel on the exact same date as the mission in Declassified, and Jose’s body may have just been moved from the compound to the house. The fact that the two dates match indicates that it was a deliberate decision to preserve Declassified’s continuity
Awesome video this so interesting and I learned so much ty so much
So in the end all happened cause of zombies, and i wanna say one thing, the 2025 mission from bo2's campaign are canon because the next cod, gulf war is going to be set in the 90's so it's a direct sequel of the 80's missions of bo2, while cod 2025 is going to be a direct sequel to the bo2's missions set in 2025, a prove of that is the fact that both of games are going to have a zombies dark eather mode, pls pin so everyone read this
Well researched video as always! The level of quality you put in video to video is astonishing, all we could ask for is more frequent uploads 🙏🏽
I wanted to get this one out a lot sooner, it just took way longer than I expected
I thought there was something in infinite warfare that connects to og mw universe. I think it was a weapon charm description or something like that. I think it referenced saveing the Russian president from mw3.
A few people have mentioned that the name of the ship (SWC-141) was named after Task Force 141 for saving the Russian president. But as far as I can tell, this is just from a promotional poster, I’m not sure if anything confirms this in game.
@@theGODZILLA150 oh ok really liked the vid as no one really talks about this in this much depth
Beast from Beyond is in the same universe as Extinction.
I thought the original MW trilogy, the OG Cods, and BO/WaW games were all apart of the same timeline? I swear i seen a video about it
You missed a big one. The entire Extinction storyline is a part of the Infinite Warfare Zombies canon, as all of the Extinction maps were movies directed by Willard Wyler. The Beast from Beyond was meant to be a sequel/soft reboot of the Extinction movie franchise but Wyler never finished it so the map is literally full of "plot holes" between dimensions, that's how the 4 player characters were able to escape the movie and return to the theater.
The consequences of not playing all of IW Zombies.
Also, apparently Lee Ross would have done the same to the Aether story if he got his way
i love the call of duty 3 theme song so classic
Banger
I'm totally agree with your theories apart from Zombies (not that I've got ideas, I ain't much of a familiar to Zombies story).
Just one thing, I gotta say: Ghosts and Infinite Warfare also share same timeline with older CoDs and OG MWs. Because Overlord character from MW3 also re-appeared in Ghosts. Besides, MW3 last mission date is few months prior to Ghosts' first mission date (:
So, I guess you can say now that, given MW3 has AW weapons in it, that game is now Canon (in some regard) to the new timeline. Bal-27 and MORS my beloved :)
Captain Price was in one of bo1 or 2s intel aswell captain price was in infinite warfare
It is soul crushing to see that Activision and its devs clearly know that Zombies is a core thread for a lot of their audience, buuuut Activision insists on trying to monetize it as a live-service so Cold War's Outbreak, Vanguard, and now MW3 are all pushing real hard to stray into this more profitable model with a linear FOMO-adjacent story and recycled BR map gameplay

ive been doing alot of research on this, and there is alot of inconsistencies and things that are straight up wrong from my knowledge. first off, i would like to mention that im going off the main games, cod 1, 2, 3, mw 1, 2, 3 bo1, 2, 3 (not 4, as it doesnt have a campaign, and i havent gotten to zombies yet) and the unreleased black ops 5 and declassified, ghosts, advanced and infinite warfare, vanguard, the mw reboots, (and some i might be missing), and that im going off the campaign lore and not zombies. first off, infinite warfare is its own timeline, all references are just easter eggs, the black ops timeline to my knowledge is all of the bo games (including cold war, and not 4 because it doesnt have a campaign), vanguard, WaW, and the mw reboots. WWII is its own game (its confirmed by the devs), along with advanced warfare, and as far as i know the first 3 cod games arent connected, but dont trust me on that as i havent played any of them and havent done research on them. these the corrections i can remember, and i might be missing some and be wrong about some things.
I'm confused how black ops cold war isnt considered canon though. Unless if they make the bad ending the actual ending which I highly doubt.
Fun fact: in the mission in mw2 remastered you can do an easter egg and see a zombie on a screen in some cell block. Its wild that zombies apparently is the most important factor as to why so much different cod universes and differences exist. I remember when i wanted an modern warfare zombie's and having ghost, price, soap and gaz as the main four or something. Interesting times
The bad ending isn’t canon since the seasonal storyline clearly shows a non nuked europe
Id love to see a video on the cod mobile zombies storyline
It looks pretty wacky, but it might be fun to look into
The thing with Zombies. All the campaign up too black ops 2 is canon in the zombies since the earth is destroyed in 2025
cool
BTW great video you did.
The call of duty timelines have always been such a confusing mess in my head after ghosts
It doesn't help they decided to combine the modern warfare and black ops timeline in BOCW when zakheav showed up in that one mission, It was never clear to me if BOCW is canon to BO1 and 2 either so now that's even more confusing
How was if not clear? There are so many references to BO1 in CW, including an entire level set in the ruins of another level in BO1.
I'm excited for the next few years, 2025 is supposedly a Bo2 sequel, which should finally set to rest wether BO2 is canon to the new timeline. AW2 is supposedly in dev by SHG, so its gonna be interesting to see a game not take place in the new unified timeline (or maybe it will?)
You could also include the Warzones in the new timeline.
I mean, the official treyarch timeline, which is on their official page, indicates that bo2, 3, and 4 are canon
And it includes cold war, and well, bo1 and waw
@@andrewschuster9156 what timeline?
Isnt BO3 Nightmares a few years after BO3 campaign?
The black ops universe is literally just our universe. Prove me wrong.
But also, I like thinking that after they did the multi merger they made the main verse the bo1 timeline. and that gave us mw2019 and cold war and vanguard and such.
nvm you said that i premature commented also aw is totally canon because aw2 coming 2027
also can you link a full image :D
I’m not sure Nova 6 was a thing, nor am I sure the US ever went DEFCON 1
@@rockmycd1319 not... sure? 0_0
Well, Waw and Bo1 just happened to transpire more or less the same way in this new universe. Since Treyarch decided not to completely rewrite Black Ops like what Infinityward did for MW. Moving forward after Cold War, we'll have to wait and see if Bo2 is still canon
I though that the fractures in bo3 zombies are not fractures from the giant but instead from the previous map
According to the official timeline under The Giant, “Primis Richtofen arrives through the teleporter and kills his Ultimis self that ends up triggering fractures across space and time,” so it sounds like it stems from that map.
What about the mob plane Easter egg in shadows
I wonder what if the last of us part 1 and cod ghost are somehow in the same universe imagine how crazy I’ll be lol
I'm pretty sure Bo4 or Bo3 actually has a comic that references nightmares... So it would be part of the Black Ops timeline
Also BO Zombies is 100% canon to Black Ops' Campaign. As the Bo1 terminal literally name drops characters, locations, groups and weapons from zombies
I’ll have to look into that comic, if that’s true I’ll add it to the description.
As for the Black Ops campaigns and Zombies, I’m sure that they’re canon to each other until the Black Ops 2 campaign. Just a few months after “Judgement Day” is when the earth is destroyed, which would prevent BO3/4 from happening. That’s why I split it into two timelines
@@theGODZILLA150 Yeah its the BO4 Comics... Ima just quote CoD lore facts as he was where I got it from
"In the bo4 comics, we find out that not only are the Cotardists real, but that the entirety of bo3 (not just mp) is a massive simulation that the specialists go into to train for missions. It's implied that the actual Singapore Disaster happened sometime prior to the 2040's."
As for the Terminals yeah I agree, it wouldn't make sense for Moon to happen at the same time Bo2s campaign would due to... Earth going boom
@chaoticchaos2177
Then later in 2036, during the events of Buried, Maxis completely destroys the Earth after gaining control of the Aether. So there wouldn't even be a planet left for anything else to happen.
@@jbroz_tv0138 Yeah ik already, they still used to be part of the same timeline prior to Moon
You forgot about Call of Duty: World at War - Final Fronts
It’s in there at 4:11. Roebuck is a sergeant in the first level in 1942, but in the main game he doesn’t become a sergeant until 1944 when Sullivan dies, so I put it in a separate timeline.
@@theGODZILLA150 Oh, sorry, I can't believe I didn't notice that!
@@theGODZILLA150I’d say the fact that both Roebuck and Polonsky survive the battle of Shuri Castle is a better indication
I honestly think advanced warfare is canon to the new timeline, seeing how it’s in the new logo and there’s gonna be a whole mw3 season based on it
I wouldn’t be surprised if it is canon. But it is still possible that they’ll change their minds and take the story in a different direction
So is the 2025 bo2 story part of the new timeline or what.
No, just the stuff in the past. That’s why there’s only half of the Black Ops 2 cover in the new timeline
@@theGODZILLA150 so the 2025 story is retconned?
@@Norwoodg00nerwe’re literally gonna have to wait till next year to find out
@@jayjay1343 they did add the swarm killstreak to mwiii so in a way we could say that bo2 is canon as well as the supposed bo2 sequal coming out in 2026. But we will just have to wait
shouldn't the black ops Z timeline be called the aether timeline?
Techinically that whole half would be the Aether timeline
I’m not trying to nit pick but you forgot the PS2 port of WAW
That’s just Final Fronts, right?
What about Imran Zakhaev in Cold War Campaign to my knowledge he hasn't been in the new MW trilogy? Also Ghosts had a General Shepard easter egg. His face was on a magazine in one of the levels.
These are just some minor nitpicks I still really like your videos and commentary style..
Gen. Shepard in Ghosts Proof: ruclips.net/video/qqqQyf0mpG0/видео.htmlsi=WJY_AC2uCi0SUMIY

@@maxythekitty Oh. Honestly forgot about that, but I think I'm still gonna stick with my head cannon that Zakhaev from Cold War is COD4 Zakhaev.
@@Scarecrowbooger
He isn't. Although who's to say that version of Zakhaev didn't experience similar events. You could never say for sure. The multiverse was literally thrown into the Dark Aether at the end of the zombies story in Bo4. Right before we were introduced to the MW reboot and Black Ops shared universe and everything that's been going on with the cod story for the last several years now.
@@Scarecrowbooger He really isn't though.
Call of Duty cold war is Cannon
Advanced warfare cannot be a part of this universe as technically Bo3 is chronologically the last game of this timeline which has lore that doesnt match up with advanced warfare
