My theory why Marlton is missing.

I think they just changed his clothing and they didn't want to show his new look, because I doubt they would just take out Marlton, and guys Nuketown was before Greenrun so maybe he was in the bunker and then he got out.

Chances are Treyarch was just playing with 3 devs when footage for the preview was recorded. These theories are getting out of control (but I agree with you that Treyarch certainly did not take out Marlton or "zombifie" him).

You're right about the bunker. The Tranzit mode bus can be heard around Rounds 4-6 on a game of Nuketown, and the bunker can be seen open on the death screen as the rocket hits the map.

They didn't show Marlton for a reason. Or they are just making us over think it just because they can

Finally, a theory that makes logical sense!

It's a sensible one, but I still think that it was just a coincidence that we didn't see one of four characters during a 15-20 second preview showcasing the new map.

Asside from russman I think they may have all changed outfits... I can't tell on Stuhlenger, and I'm fairly certain misty's jeans didn't have the embroider ment on them in green run...

Maybe they recorded the footage with only 3 people playing. Sometimes it's just that simple guys.
