most of the trailer had me thinking i was watching the rising storm vietnam trailer all over again with the music and shit
Not even mad, the Cold War had the best fucking soundtrack out of any conflict in human history.

Also from the trailer Stasi section and Spetsnaz are confirmed... Please don’t hate me for this wallet but I might act up

The series also moves us back to a silent protagonist role, one that can be customized to a degree. Players can pick between three genders: male, female or “classified.” The “classified” classification is meant for anyone who might be non-binary or doesn’t want to identify a gender. The “classified” designation is also applicable to other fields in the bio form as well. The thinking from the developers is that rather than forcing players into a decision they don’t want to make, people will appreciate the feeling of being shrouded in mystery and letting their imagination define their character. The developers also rerecorded dialogue to use them/they pronouns for the “classified” gender. Other character options include incidental background details that don’t affect gameplay, like place of birth, and your military background.

“If we don’t find something that somebody wants, let’s let them leave it classified to make the mysterious, shadowy special operative Black Ops character they want to be,” Vondrak said. “So when it came to gender that same thing was thrown out. Why can’t we leave that classified? There’s no reason we can’t do that. We’re already going to change the ‘he’ and 'she,’ so it was easy enough to use those different pronouns as well.”
A surprisingly based decision by the devs.

From what I've seen, and don't take this as 'concrete evidence' - but it looks like the Campaign and Multiplayer are going to do something interesting. The campaign will be the whole 'Undercover Black Ops Spec Ops cool dudes' that people love

but then the multiplayer will focus on the many proxy wars that took place during the cold war rather than the typical spec-ops unit vs spec-ops units most COD games do. For example, the Multiplayer maps will focus on such events as the bay of pigs invasion, the Vietnam conflict, possibly even the Korean War - and no doubt the Soviet-Afghan war will be there.

The campaign is going to be a direct sequel to Black Ops 1 iirc

I went to play Warzone and Woods himself gave me an SKS with a scope

How based is that

Tbh they shouldn't have called it "classified", just call it non binary or whatever, "classified" just sounds unnecessary odd

Regardless I find it quite funny having g4m3rs laughing at the devs giving the third option as gender while in the same year they've complained endlessly about being unable to play female protagonists because muh immershun

Why do people care so much lmao

Woods got released from the Hanoi Hilton in 1972

Operation Charybdis happens in 1978
Operation Charybdis was a joint Special Activities Division and MI-6 operation to eliminate Jason Hudson, Grigori Weaver, and Alex Mason, to be taken place in 1978, 10 years after the events of Call of Duty: Black Ops.

The primary goal was to terminate Mason, whom the S.A.D. deemed to be mentally unstable and became a threat to national security; Hudson and Weaver were also included as targets for termination due to their backing of Mason, thereby making them a threat to national security as well

This game seems to happen in 1981

Hudson pulls Mason from retirement in 1986 to save Woods from the shipping container

I'm glad they fit this into the timeline well but I genuinely hope they retcon black ops 2 since Mason is assumed dead by 1989, hudson is killed and woods is crippled. They will probably figure it out tho (I genuinely hope they stay on the blackops franchise stuff or other historical things and never touch that future shit again)

You can literally go on the treyarch website and see the timeline. It is still in the same timeline its wedged right between black ops 1 and 2 in the timeline on their website
