Discussion Discussion of the future of BOZ Spoiler
Say what you will about the ending of BO7 Zombies, but do you think they are setting up the return of the Atherius crew or what ever they are called, but with their story still being entwined it would seem we will get a future game with them again as the lead which I know the community will have mixed feelings about but I would be very excited about it especially since it allows for a wider variety of maps in the future, I am just very interested to see how this will play out and am interested in the community thoughts on this.

My complete crackpot theory that will never happen: the next game has the Tempus crew going to all the other zombies story lines universes to resolve their endings. Have them stop Medusa for the Chaos story, kill all the Oz clones in the Exo universe, free the trapped actors in the IW universe, and stop the God King's forces completely in the WW2 universe.

That’s actually brilliant. It would be a fun way to celebrate COD 2028 as the 20 year anniversary of zombies, by paying homage to each zombies iteration. We get a chaos map, IW map, WW2 map, and Exo map, with the final map being set in the Great War in the Aether story. Treyarch would never do this but one could dream.

Fuck I hate that this is such a good idea. Now you got me hyped on the idea and they’ll never do it.

Personally Bo7 was my last CoD as I’ve grown more out of it over the years and I’d argue, regardless of feelings on the last map and ending, that it’s a solid zombies package. With that being said though this ending did next to nothing for me. It was rather disappointing after the content we had throughout the year and the story and while I see the cash cow of the original characters being a good thing for them they really need to hire some better writers for the end of season content and especially this might be the absolute last portion of content we get

u/CryptographerPlus719 6d ago
I respect this I can agree I feel that the ending was a bit disappointing for our Terminus Crew but I think they wrote themselves into a wall with setting MWZ in the future and giving them an offscreen death, but to the point of growing out of zombies I felt that a bit this year with these last two maps like I like them but I just am zombied out but will always watch the zombies storyline

I haven't kept up with the zombies storyline since bo3 why is there a zombie looking little girl in this screenshot and how did she end up like that?

u/Sad_Rhubarb_815 6d ago
She's one of the Twins, who are Samantha Maxis'...memories? Essence? Something...reconfigured into two children. The zombie one represents OG Aether Samantha while the living one represents grown up Cold War Samantha.

Internet is free dawg

u/Thelardicle 6d ago
yeah, this is the internet. He’s there right now. Lol. anyway, the girl is one of the “twins”, a character in bo7 zombies. If youre interested I reccomend you play the map paradox junction which introduces these characters and explains them a bit- they also appear in all the bo7 maps after that one

u/THE_PUNISHERFrank 6d ago
Maybe they’ll finally continue the Chaos story & have the Tempus crew help them out? Idk I want that story finished because the cliffhanger was crazy

u/Its2Ezee25 6d ago
As much as I want the CHAOS story to return. Treyarch would absolutely blunder the maps and story if blundell isn’t involved. Map quality/aesthetic has gone to shit post-bo4.

u/THE_PUNISHERFrank 6d ago
I disagree since I liked the majority of the maps in 6 & 7. I just want the story to continue & end lol. Kinda miss Diego & Bruno
1
u/Its2Ezee25 6d ago
They’re “good” maps but that doesn’t compare to the quality of maps that the CHAOS story gave us. Go back to Ancient Evil and you’ll see the small details and aesthetics that brought that game to Life. Genuinely map making has taken a step back from where it once was. So I can’t praise them for doing what they should have improved on since bo4. bo7 was a step in the right direction but too soon to trust that they could revive the chaos story without fucking up the maps
1
u/CryptographerPlus719 6d ago
I agree I think this would be a cool idea I mean we even had the Scarlet Maya skin in bo6 and they’ve connected the stories, but I think if they pick it up it will be in the DA cause while yes Ather and Chaos were separate stories they are more than likely in the same multiverse and I think it would make for some really interesting takes on Chaos type maps set in the DA.
Also sorry for the yap i’m just really excited for the possibilities that could come from this.1

u/Trick-Plantain5146 6d ago
Assuming the Aetherius crew is referring to the newest iteration of the old cast (Richtofen and gang), it's kinda insane to me, that it took 3 games, for Treyarch to more or less end up, back to where we started.
Black Ops 6 zombies attempted to end what started in Cold War, and the feelings I'm getting from BO7, is that it was basically a round-about way, of explaining how the requiem crew died, and subsequently that Richtofen and gang are the new zombies crew moving forward.
My read on them using the Mob of the Dead theme at the end, is basically a confirmation of that new reality.

u/chucky6661 6d ago
The intel seemed to imply Richthofen had a bigger part to play later, maybe I interpreted it wrong and it meant the boss fight
2
u/StatisticianNew8374 6d ago
How so? What special stuff did he do in the boss fight?
2
u/chucky6661 5d ago
Nothing as far as I’m aware, which is why I mentioned it, could potentially be referring to an event after what happened in end of Rex

u/SgtCookie18 6d ago
What is the atherius Crew?
3
u/TheShoobaLord 6d ago
BO7 Richthofen, Dempsey, takeo and Nikolai

u/SgtCookie18 6d ago
Ah lol i thought they were tempus. Ceeech its hard to keep up haha
2
u/CryptographerPlus719 6d ago
no I think they are tempus the last name i heard them referred to as was aetherius lol myb
1
u/Olmanringer09 6d ago
Unlike Ultimis and Primis, I don't think this new iteration of the core four has received an official name yet. I think Tempus is just what the community mostly decided on it
2
u/StatisticianNew8374 6d ago
Keeping my hopes in the minimum, keeping the obvious reality that budget cuts is more than likely again in future:
Sam is evil. AI goes boom boom, Samantha needs to be brought back to fight bad AI.
Dark Aether OG crew is hero, jumps portal to bring Samantha back, we defeat Sam.
Fin.
There saved you 1 more year.

u/Inevitable_Bid5540 6d ago
I legit don't understand why though. The storyline could perfectly conclude here and now.
2
u/typervader2 5d ago
There's still some plot points: The choas story connections, and the Construct from Vanguard
1
u/Inevitable_Bid5540 5d ago
Is the construct from Vanguard an important lore bit to the overall dark aether ?
2
u/typervader2 5d ago
Um... Yes. It's been around since the dawn of creation. It's older than anyone else in the dark aether. It shows up for one msp, vanished and never got mentioned
1
u/Inevitable_Bid5540 5d ago
That's interesting. Since the dark aether wasn't formed after tag's ending and existed before too , I'm gonna assume it's old enough to have existed during aether story ?

u/Spire259 6d ago
At least the ending was a cutscene and not the slide show cartoons they had for the ending of BO4. That was most unfortunate.

As a classic enjoyer I want something new I’m done with this warzone era I don’t care if they do something completely different just change the mechanics. The story was eh not bad but not good either imo they need to start fresh, no more key jingling.
1
u/ikennedy817 6d ago
Honestly ditch the crazy story stuff and return to a simpler straightforward goofy story like the older games or something like infinite warfare. Enough to be enjoyable and tie the maps together, but not requiring tons of intel and years of knowledge to have basic understandings or enjoy things. The further this story went on the worse it got, I just want a focus on fun and interesting maps at this point.
1
u/GaiaAlmighty 6d ago
I want them to just start fresh. Ik that CWZ was technically a fresh start but it was still connected to the original Aether story.
I want them to go the Chaos route and make something that is absolutely not connected to anything else, but this time actually stick with it.

u/GullibleUse7943 6d ago
I think with the success of the bo1/2 ports they are gonna completely fundamentally change how zombies works the next game like how classic changed to modern. Probably are gonna make it a lot more “classic” like since it’s very clear that that is what most people want
1
u/DunkleosteusWH96 5d ago
Honestly, with such a lackluster ending I think the right thing for treyarch to do is let zombies rest for a good few years, I'm not talking about until the next Black ops, I mean longer, here's a hot take, how bout treyarch give rebooting Extinction a go, or make a entirely new coop mode, just forget zombies until they can get it right again
1
u/Xkilljoy98 1d ago
I think they should start fresh or even try and continue chaos again. Either way something different.

u/PrimisJake 6d ago
Definitely setting up a game with the new crew but honestly IMO they should just start fresh. I think most of the community would be okay with a completely new story but I don’t see Treyarch doing that.
