* Aether: Maxis being in Kino Der Toten. (just me being nitpicky about the radios)
* Chaos: the DOTD Crew dying. (love the cast, but I know it may de difficult for Treyarch to hire the actors again)
* Dark Aether: whole Vanguard and MW3, except the existence of “The Construct” inside the Dark Aether.

MW3, or atleast have our current understanding of it be incorrect. People keep saying Sam never got out of the DA, I really hope theyre just wrong.
Like, if the BO6 crew DID free Sam, they’d 100% keep it a secret. Sam was in the Dark Aether for a few DAYS before Firebase Z (according to a peck voiceline) and that was all it took for everyone to lose trust, lock her up, etc. as of BO6 shes been in there for 5 years. If the world governments knew she was out, theyd do everything they could to put her down, whether or not she was actually evil. I hope this is what happened, that the crew decided it was best to keep her escape a secret.

I’m probably gonna get hated for saying this but I say delete the whole Dark Aether story, I just didn’t like the whole Zombies merged with the Campaign and Multiplayer story.

Vanguard.

I’m not quite sure if I’d “delete” anything but rather change a few things to be more consistent, like the whole eye-color debacle. But if I had to choose something I’d probably delete that little voice-line from Peter McCain talking about his “unfinished business” in Alpha Omega that never went anywhere.

ending of revelations actually ends the aether story so we could focus on chaos in BO4

Aether is a bad story in itself, what we got from chaos looked to be far more interesting

All of Vanguard. The story is literally pointless, it would change nothing to just go “none of that happened, actually”.
What is the point of Vanguard’s story? I genuinely want to know! I’m a big lore-buff for this series and i genuinely can’t find anyway that Vanguard’s story effects anything else?

MW3 Zombies. Not because it’s inherently bad or anything, I think they’ve been doing a good job with the seasonal cutscenes, but I kinda just feel like it took a little bit of the wind out of BO6’s sails. Unless they do some crazy work around, we know that our main crew is going to eventually end up sitting dead around a table in fucking Urzikstan. Plus if the entity in that game is indeed Samantha, then we know she’s not getting out of the Dark Aether at all in BO6. It just feels weird to have a story set so far in the future considering the Dark Aether really just finished its first act.

Delete dark aether and continue chaos

I’m deleting everything after BO3 since that was supposed to be the ending.

Ending the Aether story at Origins. It was all a fun game in a child’s room. Boom. Unexpected but peaceful ending.
Then, picking up bo3 with chaos and having that be the story from there on in.

Vanguard.
It was supposed to be a prequel in the Dark Aether story but I see no connections to Cold War actually.
Great aesthetics, indeed, but great aesthetics don’t give you a good story nor a good game in general

Does deleting Chaos keep Aether the way it is or does it change past events and allow Treyarch to dedicate all of their attention to making the Aether ending they wanted?
This will severely affect my final decision.

maybe chaos?

The continuation of Aether in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.
Jason cannot write an ending. He just can’t. So, he ended off BO2 with the biggest cliché in f–king writing history.. COD Zombies being imaginary.. a dream, if you will.
Then he ended off BO3 with the second biggest cliché.. ‘‘it’s all a cycle.’’ Really, Jason..?
And BO3’s ending got so much f–king backlash, to the point he was forced to continue a story he obviously lost passion for.
And BO4’s ending.. sure it was solid. But we played as Victis lmao.
He obviously put his all into Chaos and Aether was basically tying up any loose ends as fast as possible.
It should’ve never happened, and we would’ve eventually softened up to BO3’s ending.
Plus, we would’ve gotten more Chaos.

Probably, the loop idea of Aether or maxis.

No, they should never have deleted Chaos, bring it back instead

Origins, the story had an ending at buried. Whichever path you took was the end. We didn’t need to retcon everything and change it to new multidimensional aliens and satan/Santa with a PhD.

I’d delete the fact that Zombies and Campaign are connected since I’d rather zombies be it’s own continuity so that way they can do more out there concepts bc they can only do so much before having to question “how will this affect the campaign world”

The multiverse as a whole. It cheapens every consequence.
MotoqueiroSelvagem
Small thing, but really irks me. I’d delete the revelation that Brutus is not Stanley Ferguson in BO4.
The true identity of Brutus SHOULD’VE been Stanley Ferguson and I’ll NEVER accept otherwise. It was so much more interesting, instead of just some nameless Warden.

The summoning key at a random point in the storyline, whatever fucks with it the most , i dont think theyve been thru enough 😭

The Chaos storyline did not end at Ancient Evil.
Personally, I’ll pick these:
* Aether: Maxis being in Kino Der Toten. (just me being nitpicky about the radios)
* Chaos: the DOTD Crew dying. (love the cast, but I know it may de difficult for Treyarch to hire the actors again)
* Dark Aether: whole Vanguard and MW3, except the existence of “The Construct” inside the Dark Aether.
