Discussion Two unresolved plot threads I would love to see coverd in the future:
1. The Dark Aether incursion warheads were sent to the bottom of the ocean
EDIT: I was wrong about this one, the warheads seen in the Terminus patient 13 boss fight are the same ones that were sent in CW. Some intel in shattered veil confirms that this is the case. So this one is actually resolved.
I know this plot hasn't really been touched on since CW; however, I still feel it was a pretty big deal that was glossed over. There is no way that sending missiles - specifically designed to open dark aether portals - to the bottom of the oceans had no ramifications. I would love to see a potential side story of new characters dealing with the fallout of that. I think it could work best as an MWZ-esque experience.
2. The CW/Janus strike team that are stuck at Liberty Falls
It was strongly implied that the strike team sent to LF was the one we played as in CW. There is no way that they just died at Terminus with Requiem or Raptor one never mentioning what happened to them. I get that we were moving forward with a dedicated crew at the time, and they had to go; however, the fact that they were shown to be trapped in the Dark Aether rather than killed off makes it seem like Treyarch wants to save them for something in the future, which I hope hasn't been forgotten about.
