Ever since Cold War released, Treyarch haven’t released a single map with a celebrity cast. This tradition was started all the way back in Black Ops 1 and existed for over half a decade. Why did Treyarch make this change?
Also, I think Liberty Falls would have been a PERFECT map to have a celebrity cast on. A celeb cast on Liberty Falls alone would have done wonders to improve the atmosphere of the map. They could have gotten Appalachian celebrities and had folk songs playing in the map, made the round change folk-songy, etc.

Cold war was rushed so they probably didn’t have time to set one up especially since they already didn’t have enough time to do a standard crew.
Liberty falls would have been a great opportunity to bring that back but it seems a lot of stuff happened behind the scenes with the making of bo6

There will never be another celebrity cast. We were “lucky” to just get 1 crew in BO6 and we will never see a celebrity crew again.

Treyarch doesn’t care anymore

We just got crews back, we are definitely gonna get them at some point. If not this game then 2025.
But the last celebrity crew absolutely FUCKING SUCKED so maybe thats why they are so hesitant and didn’t implement them into liberty falls even tho it could’ve been perfect.

I still think call of the dead had the best cast. That map was already sick, the celebrity cast just earned its place in my heart forever

Probably want to stick with Operators that can be monitized over a set cast of characters

BO6 will have a celebrity cast, if you buy the bundles you can have Nicki Minaj, Homelander, Snoop Dogg and Eren Yeager

i think it has to do with the fact that it would cost a lot of money. i mean, allegedly robert downey jr is getting paid $95 million to play doctor doom in the upcoming avengers movie, so imagine how that would be for treyarch

They are all operators now, literally Messi came to kill zombies in Modern Warfare if you pay, operators is the worst thing that happened to zombies.

YOU’RE TELLING ME THE GUYS IN MOTD ARE CELEBRITIES?!
Where the hell have I been the last decade?!

Knowing that the budget was cut massively for zombies following Black Ops 4 I’d say it probably has something to do with them just plain not having enough money for them anymore. But that’s just my guess.
Not even including the fact that Cold War did not have the time for that to be a thing and Vanguard & MWZ definitely didn’t either.
Black Ops 6 is probably the only way we’ll know if they can afford doing them still but we’ll see.

Every single COD game with set casts has had a celebrity cast map since BO1. Cold War just didn’t get one because there was no set cast, it wouldn’t work with the operator system
With the return of “story” crews in BO6 it’s entirely possible (although slightly unlikely) that a celebrity map could appear again

Liberty falls is a celebrity cast featuring 10+ voiceless operators

I honestly don’t want a celebrity cast and would much rather have a consistent set of characters that you can grow to appreciate over time.

The Call of the Dead cast was soooo good!! Michael Rooker was my main on that map
Thelivingshotgun
dead of the night crew are celebrities?

Money, celebrities are expensive to hire.
Ragnarok649
At this rate, we will probably get the 2017 Jumanji cast for celebrities. I would not mind hearing Jack Black “skadoosh” for nukes.

Operator skins happened

Like most products, they could sell just as much with half of the effort and quality put into it.
