I would also like to point out that Gabriel Krafft had been mentioned in MWZ by Ravenov: "I believe Krafft found infestation like this in 40s. Be careful, his report did not have happy ending." This line was in reference to the infested strongholds and Ravenov was talking about the cyst infestations. This was not something we witnessed during Vanguard Zombies which implied Krafft went out into the field after the events of Vanguard.
Absolutely brilliant video JD very informative thankyou for keeping us up to date. I suffer from memory loss so watching your content keeps me in the know and takes me back to the best years of cod zombies, keep up the great work it's very appreciated
Heres a plot twist, what if richtophen is trying to use those artifacts to return primis? Would make an interesting story for the next zombies game rumoured to have the old crew again
I would say he’s may be trying to recreate the multiverse again so he can find his family in another universe. Another reason could be that, as he may have been corrupted by the Dark Aether again, this could be another plot to take some form of absolute power of creation itself.
@@kennethmartinez9053The next game is a bo2 remaster so that could just mean origins, also rhictofen has no relationship with the primus crew so there's no reason for him to bring them back, he's trying to bring his family back.
Know what would be crazy, if this is actually all part of an even bigger cycle where Richthofen uses prima materia to create the summoning key again with the agarthan device (that was banished to the dark aether) and recreates the multiverse… as the First One (the ancient keeper that allegedly used the summoning key to do the same thing in the previous timeline)
Well he wants to bring his dead family back, so he could be doing a kingpin by opening the multiverse to find an alternative version of his wife and kid. @@caseyfold
Its also possible that the map that reintroduces us to the sentinel artifact could have an outbreak thats caused by a trial and ofc in order to successfully retrieve the artifact we would need to complete its dedicated trial for the ee
Possibly, but as seen in the intro of Voyage and DotN, the artifact emits a dome that protects whoever's inside from becoming a zombie. It's not a bad theory, but personally, I don't know.
Ravenov is interrogating him to find the sentinel artifact. If a trial was already active in citadelle, he would not need Krafft because the sentinel artifact is obviously in the citadel.
I think the other option is that since this is S.A.M. Sending them there it could be all driving by her and the Forsakens knowledge of elder gods and their time working with Craft and the vanguard team…
why wasn't this mentioned at all his age in MWZ did he get prima material as well ? dude treyarch are cooking this year just hope it ends with a banger
Thenks for the breakdown of the video and the extremely interesting tie ins i wouldnt have known about from the previous zombie crews. I find all of this extremely interesting and
I have a theory what if after the cycle was broken the kronorium showed richtofen that the only way to break the ever lasting fighting is to completely reset the universe which is why he gave it to nikolai and in turn, because he knew he could not kill his friends. But because of this action he knew that it would push them into the dark aether and so that they could have a chance rather than being stuck into a forever loop of fighting. Since it would mean that it’s a timeline where they have never been or seen. Which could be why they are returning, or even getting their souls back is what we may be doing at the end of the game.
i have a feeling that in the final dlc maxis will be rescued from the dark aether and she will have found the og crew and bring them back with her setting up the next game.
I am starting to think zombies is becoming more and more of its own story like it always has been but now they are saying " we are all in and making this into something more than just a zombie survival" i am here for it.
love the content Dalek always look forward to your uploads but one question i got wouldn't Krafft be over 100+ years old at this point and hearing possibly franco mentioning a 'beating' could krafft be ageing slower due to the artifact? what is your thoughts thank man
I'm calling it now that Eva was pulled into the Dark Aether until 2030, when we'll pick back up with our team during the events of COD2025 which is rumored to be a sequel to BO2 set in 2030.
I don’t see Richthofen having an interest in Krafft around Sam’s grad time because his family wouldn’t have been falsely killed at that time, which seems to be the catalyst for all his actions currently Unless he just had general interest (which isn’t out of character necessarily) and now wants to use that interest to see the ends it could meet
Im confused why everyone is saying this guy is ravenov when at the end cutscene to terminus, the picture of "francis" looks pretty much exactly like him. So did everyone just so blatantly miss that or is there something im not understanding? Because im convinced this guy is not ravenov, he doesnt even look like him at all. Not one bit. But the guy named francis at the end cutscene of terminus.. well if anybody knows can someone elaborate cause idk if everyone is crazy or if it's just me
So basically Richthofen is searching for the something in the chaos storyline, and that’s different from dark aether, how exactly does vanguard story relate other than the character ? I don’t fully understand what the story was with vanguard, like is the same kind of lore like the chaos or aether, or is it just something else entirely that doesn’t relate with anything else? Please help
The whole point of the intro is to set up the story of the map. Our crew looking for kraft not some epic cutscene of them taking on the undead. There is nothing wrong with narrative cutscenes.
this cutscene was amazing and got me so giddy and excited, i feel like some of you just want a cg cinematic of them killing zombies and that’s it. just… play the game then
my favorite intro cutscene is blood of the dead but i cannot tell you a single thing i remember about zombie killing from it. its all narrative and characters for me
@XgoodbyeX sadly the Cold war one was a Paid skin. But at least this is the Only skin I going to Buy, i'm not a skin collector trying to get all the skins or something
@ouji-san1987 yeah it's just Activision being greedy. A Samantha skin makes more sense to be a reward especially since we are most likely bringing Samantha back in this game
Ok so this is obvious a parallel uni. Cause the omega group bo4. Primis coming back. And the fact it's like ric knows like he's don't this b4. The bo4 timeline n b4 tht so man's getting flashes from the old uni
There was something that came to mind from a comment where all the outbreaks are happening in places Project Janus had been to. And about gods and stuff connecting to the Sentinal Artifacts. Back on Terminus, I was getting vibes of the Zeus, God of Thunder. Due to the heavy storm conditions happening around. So in theory, is the Principality Of Avalon going to connect to Danu next? (I know this was done before with the Chaos Story on BO4 but with that being tied in, i'm already curious.)
Pretty disappointing that the dogshit zombies that wasn't made by Treyarch is for some reason cannon to the story. Hardly anybody even mentions Vanguard cuz it was so bad
Who knows it might turn out to be a better idea than you think, the creative turns the story could take especially with bringing back our favorite original crew. Who knows? I can't say one way or the other but you and I don't know exactly what treyarch is going to do with the twist creatively speaking but they have been cooking with the story lately just give them a chance before deciding 115 and aether are a bad thing.
@@its_the_rooster why are you not open to change? old aether isnt coming back bro, and it was mentioned it hasnt even been shown in person yet, people like you are why treyarch is so scared to go out there with their maps and keep releasing facility maps
Not really. I been checked out of this story forever. It’s basically fast and furious now and just over the time. Multiverse. Combine everything and stretch it 10 years after it should have been. I want original story without anything to the old stuff. Just give me good fun maps

Could the shadowsmith from the mirror with Ava be alistair Rhodes?
Wait that’s ravenov? I thought he was the guy in the photo!
Maya reacting to how insane the zombies crews' lives are is pretty funny, I hope they lean more into this angle
Her voice lines on Terminus are great

Ravenov is interrogating him to find the sentinel artifact. If a trial was already active in citadelle, he would not need Krafft because the sentinel artifact is obviously in the citadel.

So Ravenov will probably learn with Krafft how to age slower 🤔

This definitely feels like a resurgence for the zombies community. It's great to see.
So craft knew about vanguard artifacts, and also knew about the chaos artifacts, he probably also knew about the dark aether too then.
Im really happy with how much Treyarch are leaning into Zombies!
This was a great video I’m happy for where the story is going

Am I the only one that noticed this 4:51 1994 - 1991 did he go 3 years back????
Yeah...He is discussing the past,and how,in the future date of 1994,the character has his past 3 years left unknown...Use your head
The story isn't bad but the execution so far isn't the best and I think people are struggling to separate the two concepts

The fact that I’m being rewarded for playing vanguard and bo4 feels great
Jokes on you, I still understand what he was talking about and I didn’t have to play two of the worst CoD Zombies experiences of all time to do so
Sure, whatever makes you feel better. LOL
@@dariusdafiggathere are worse games than bo4, cold war was worse than bo4 in my opinion.
