Don't get be wrong OG Woods all the way, but I think at the end of the day this new voice was just enough. Like he added his own interpretation of the character and while it wasn't perfect, it was bearable. Like, when he says: "Let's go find this shit head" was pretty reminiscent of OG. Also this seems like an older more confident Woods than the previous.
It’s clearly not even just the actor change, because even when James C. Burns says these lines, it doesn’t quite sound like the Woods we know. The writing in Cold War turned him into just a guy who swears, but not a badass.
@@interviolet6675 last I heard, dunno how true this is, but originally Cold War was gonna be a reboot like MW 2019 was and they already casted new actors to do the game before deciding it was basically Black Ops 1.5 of the original Black Ops canon
It’s sad that the original actor of frank woods isn’t in Cold War he actually was upset that trearch didn’t include him for woods and Sam worthington wasn’t in there either
@@xboxed7202 they need Sam Worthington voice again, the new Mason voice lines sound cringe af, jus imagine playing as Mason and hear Sam's voice thatd be soo dope
Million Times Better Than The Original. Damon victor allen isn’t a bad voice actor just if they tried so hard to imitate James’s Frank Woods they should have just gotten him
I feel they should only resort to imitating a voice actor’s portrayal of a character if said voice actor is retired or deceased. In this case, the original was plenty available and free to consult, but they still chose to replace him. The same thing has happened in other games and and projects as well, such as Mk11 with scorpion’s voice actor, and some other things here and there. (Mk11 being especially heinous because they brought back both Sub-Zero’s and Raiden’s voice actors, but ditched a few other’s.)
Honestly there's no excuse why Activision couldn't just simply ask James C. Burns to return as Woods. I know that not every OG actor gets to return to play their character, but the fact that they didn't even bother asking is just down right ridiculous.
If Treyarch continues with the Black Ops series' reboot, they should really consider bringing back James C. Burns for the role of Woods in any sort of BO2 reboot.
2:23 when he said holy fuck it felt like a bad ass saying that, I’m not trying to discredit the new voice actor, but honestly I prefer James C Burns over him not only because he was my early childhood but also his raw skill and talent for VA.
@@xjamdoidst5167 it's not his character, it's owned by Activision. He came up with a lot of what Woods is, but due to contracts he doesn't own anything from the character other than his voice and performance

This video is just for fun, I really enjoyed Damon Victor Allen's take on the character of Frank Woods.
I'm supposing you'll be a guest on his show? If so congrats! Any other projects with James as well?
Not me

You just buy a bunch of cameos and stitch em together? haha or you ask him to cover this?
Imagine trayarch adding a dub dlc with the OG Woods,Hudson and Mason just like netherealm did with the mortal kombat movie cast
I would love that
I'll buy that.
I’d buy it in a heart beat
Black ops 1 Hudson was the best
Get the OG VA overlay for campaign for 29.99$ no thanks
"Perseus, my ass!"
God I love woods.😄

We *NEED* Sam Worthington to dub over for Mason in this game.
He was too busy working on avatar 2 i think.
So he has a good reason on why he ain't there
But james c was all open to join
@@shadowbroz1026 yeah, I guess if he was available Treyarch probably wouldn't get him to reprise his role. Idk why
@@interviolet6675 last I heard, dunno how true this is, but originally Cold War was gonna be a reboot like MW 2019 was and they already casted new actors to do the game before deciding it was basically Black Ops 1.5 of the original Black Ops canon
The did the original VA dirty, case closed.
I can't wait to see James C Burns dub all of wood's lines in cold war.
I'd pay $10 for this to be a DLC Voice Pack
Bro me too
They’d make lots of money off this if only they though about it
Same brother. Brought so many memories to hear this voice. Good on the voice actor for being a good sport and doing this for the fans 🔥
Even $20 would be worth it.
i want James back too but not through more microtransactions. common guys….
If only the og woods was in cold war 😣
True 😭
Vladimir Makarov: remember no Onion
Cold War Woods: I'm an onion, Mason. You should know that.
OG Woods: I'm a slithering snake, Mason. Keep that in mind. (This is just a line I made up)
That has no meaning though
@@ifb6368 Umm.. Stealthy??
Yeah, I’m bad at writing. Not as in grammatically.
“Oh I’ll show em what my fuckin expertise is”
@@ifb6368 That actually makes sense since one of Woods’ skins in multiplayer has him dressed as Venom Snake from Metal Gear Solid V.
I'm a tbone steak Mason
Can we raise fund to give James a good Studio Microphone so that we can hear him dub the Entire Black Ops Cold War Campaign game?
It’s sad that the original actor of frank woods isn’t in Cold War he actually was upset that trearch didn’t include him for woods and Sam worthington wasn’t in there either
This was awesome! As good as the new guy is, I think James will always be woods in my books.
If they make a Korean War black ops game they should bring James back
Hi, Love the idea. Oh yeah, if you have an Q&A with the original voice actor of Alex Mason, please add him to one of these videos.
That would be hard😂he’s always buzy off the radar
Guy never appeared for any interview for bo1 2 4
He might be busy with avatar 2
Bruh they been working on avatar 2 for years now
@@CarlosWr581 movies do take a while
If only he had a better mic
The new woods is fine, but nothing can top the original woods.
I can understand the criticism for Mason's new voice. But at least the new Woods actually sounds like Woods.
@@xboxed7202 they need Sam Worthington voice again, the new Mason voice lines sound cringe af, jus imagine playing as Mason and hear Sam's voice thatd be soo dope
Hell yeah!!! Just keep up the good work
THANKS FOR CONSIDERING MY RECOMMENDATION!!
The voice we should’ve had. No one can play Woods better than James.
Million Times Better Than The Original. Damon victor allen isn’t a bad voice actor just if they tried so hard to imitate James’s Frank Woods they should have just gotten him
I agree. The new Woods voice sounds too much like someone trying to do a Woods impression for a fan dub.
Yeah. We don't hate the new guy, he did as well as could be expected. We're just angry that Activision did Sarge dirty.
I feel they should only resort to imitating a voice actor’s portrayal of a character if said voice actor is retired or deceased. In this case, the original was plenty available and free to consult, but they still chose to replace him.

Way better voice holy shit! Miss the old days
More of these! Please!
Cold War should've stuck with OG Woods. The new Woods voice just sounds like a poor attempt to impersonate/mimic the old one.
At this point let’s just make our own black ops game we have everything and loyalty is one
Honestly there's no excuse why Activision couldn't just simply ask James C. Burns to return as Woods.
I know that not every OG actor gets to return to play their character, but the fact that they didn't even bother asking is just down right ridiculous.
THIS IS THE GREATEST THING IVE EVER SEEN
This is so good OG we need
I love this so much more !
😳 This is what we needed.
Omg imma cry
The first line just made me gitty inside
This is amazing! James C Burns and you have done a great job!
That "my ass" sounds awesome. Good adlib.
If Treyarch continues with the Black Ops series' reboot, they should really consider bringing back James C. Burns for the role of Woods in any sort of BO2 reboot.
Someone has got to pay him to do the whole thing
Love it
So good
I would be perfectly fine with James dubbing all of Woods dialogue for YT
2:23 when he said holy fuck it felt like a bad ass saying that, I’m not trying to discredit the new voice actor, but honestly I prefer James C Burns over him not only because he was my early childhood but also his raw skill and talent for VA.
This mission just got better by 200%!
Hell yeah
Hi bro, nice video
Has anyone from treyarch confirmed why they didn’t bring any of the og bo1 cast back at all
Fuckin love it 😂
YESSSS
Legit if they made this available in the shop I’d buy buy it right away
Ok, now this is quality content. 👍
Hudson sounds closest to the Ed Harris
Yeah I thought the same
This is good
They’re both great actors
I am now satisfied
If only we can have a mod like that exsit!
Epic
i'm a goddamn onion, mason
2:21 rip bell
Finally
Why is woods talking through a blue yeti the whole time lmao
This is unbelievably better
how it should be
😩👌
I have a bad feeling Burns could get in trouble for doing this
how can they its his character he has every right to dub it if anything they betrayed him by getting someone else
@@xjamdoidst5167 it's not his character, it's owned by Activision. He came up with a lot of what Woods is, but due to contracts he doesn't own anything from the character other than his voice and performance
@@naturaldisaster6991 By that logic people can get in trouble for doing song covers because it's not their song
*Perseus...* _My Ass_
What a missed opportunity :/
چرا نمیزنه تو گل؟ریییییده😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Can someone do an AI voice of woods
Treyarch’s gonna regret replacing James C Burns with Damon Victor Allen and Sam Worthington with Chris Payne Gilbert and cutting off Primis and Ultimis tryhards are dumbasses I only play to have fun and win
They had red laser and red dot in 1981 ?
Yep.
I love James but kinda trying a little to hard in this lol
Thats so cool!!!
