Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE the Ultimis crew and Zombie Chronicles in general, but I just feel like some of the maps would’ve been better to have a generic crew in the style of the original WaW Nacht, BO2’s Nuketown and survival maps and etc. I would’ve loved to play Verrückt/Nacht Der Toten as the Marines + Dempsey .
Idk why but I think having the named characters in these kinds of survival maps kinda takes away the atmosphere for me? Having some no named soldiers fight to their death with no hope of survival is infinitely more interesting and terrifying to me than having the Ultimis crew cracking jokes every now and then . Plus I think it would make more accurate to the original Verrückt and Nacht Der Toten lol
Also I want to see John Banana again ❤️

‘Generic’ is the best way I could’ve described the marines lol idk if there was a better way of saying it sorryyyyy
I mean… If they would try that, they may aswell to get the VAs to voice these generic crews…
I agree with you on nacht and verrukt.
But the crew belongs in every other map for sure. It would’ve been nice if one of the marines in verrukt was demspey, like the story says.
the reason Ultimis is there is because the timelines were scrambled, so these aren’t the original Verruckt and Nacht from the beginning of the Cycle. There is a mod called The First Cycle that restores the OG characters tho
Ass take
Yes for nacht, but verrukt should have dempsey and the other 3 soldiers who went to go rescue peter mccain.

Yeah, I would have preferred the generic US marines (or US army, whatever) soldiers as the player characters in the chronicles version of nacht and verruckt. Don’t get why they used the ultimis crew on nach and verruckt tbh, though I’m fine with them on the other maps
They already had WW2 us army (Marines?) Models from the BO3 campaign they could have used (and probably coulda made a first person model somewhat quickly for them too) and probably could have ported the WAW verruckt voice lines for that map too
I don’t like the idea of having a actual speechless crew at all (besides, BO3 Nacht already does that, even if you are playing with Ultimis, they don’t say anything), but damn, I miss WAW Verrückt so much. I like the idea of you fighting as common soldiers, who has a personality but don’t have the same level of connection to the whole plot (at least not directly), and are just there, trying to survive. I always remember the talk between McCain and Dempsey in AO.
>Peter McCain: But Tank, I need to know one thing. Did we beat Group 935? Did we wipe their whole rotten operation off the face of the Earth?
>Tank Dempsey: We wipe a lot of things off the face of the Earth… It’s complicated. But I want you to know that I tried, Peter. We really tried. We came lookin’ for you, me, John Banana, Smokey…
>Peter McCain: I know, Tank, I know.
I don’t know, I just like so much this “we were just some Soldiers doing our Duty” thing, and every single piece of these Soldiers emphatizes how normal they really were.
Honestly hard disagree
I agree with you. However, I do really like how despite them using the new character models, they didn’t give them any voice lines in Nacht like they did in the BO1 Nacht. At least they tried something to make it more faithful
