So after Syndicate tweeted the picture with the Wave Gun, I started wondering where I had seen it before. And it came to me that I had seen the Wave Gun in the CoDZL trailer. Then I remembered who shot the Wave Gun. This man:
Now, as many noticed when CoDZL was released, that looks exactly like the man holding the Thundergun on the First Strike Zombies poster.
Now that we have both of these pictures here, let's look at the men. They obviously look the same, but that doesn't mean they are the same. There is one feature that makes me say that it is 100% confirmed they are the same. And that is the scar under the left eye. Each of them have it. So I think it's safe to say they are one and the same.
Once I decided on this, I had to ask. Who is this? Two places we see this man. We have no answers as to who it is. Also, where is Richtofen? He's nowhere to be seen even though he is one of the most popular characters in the game. Tank, Takeo, and Nickolai are all in their normal attire, so it's safe to say if Richtofen had been on the poster, he would have been in his uniform. But he's not there.
So as all these thoughts came into my head, I began to realize that the First Strike poster makes ZERO sense. Look at it. There's no Waffe, Howl, or Nova Crawlers in Ascension. Speaking of crawlers, why are there so many crawlers and monkeys and so few zombies in the picture? The only thing that really makes sense in this picture is the rocket in the background and the Thundergun.
Another things to look at. The orange. Does anyone else see a mushroom cloud with the orange paint work? Also, let the rocket play as a divider for you. I see the Black Ops 2 logo. Lastly, we have never gotten another zombie poster for any map pack ever. Why now? Why this one?
So there are many questions to answer. Who is this man? Where is Richtofen? Is this supposed to be a depiction of the First Strike zombies or is it actually telling of something else? Could this be a hint toward the future? Could this man be a playable character for Black Ops 2? When did CoDZL happen in the storyline? Could this man be the blank portrait from Kino?
What do y'all think? I'm sure there are plenty of other questions that could be asked as well, so bring them up. Let's discuss this because it seems important to me.
