"Original Four Heroes"

[Nasdaq401]

Direct proof from Treyarch? Yes, the Press Release named our four Characters as Takeo, Nikolai, Dempsey & Richtofen.

None of the soldiers in NDU/Verrukt were Asian or wore a pilot's hat or whatever that is.

Awesome, awesome, awesome.

Come on, of course we're playing as them. If we weren't, they wouldn't be so emphasized in the Origins trailer. We would have seen our "actual" playable characters if our O4 weren't them.

Finally, the voice of reason! lol the fact that we will be playing as the O4 is a humongous selling point for this map... treyarch likes to troll, but they are not completely stupid

Good point, so we are getting the Classic maps to play as well

I think at some point we need to bring common sense into the discussion rather than spewing out "if one thing in the trailer is in the map, then everything in the trailer has to be in the map" that is what people are insinuating here and its just straight bollocks to think that way. the context of the old maps in the video was to accentuate that we are going back to the beginning before those maps (all of which we played as the O4 in by the way) . this news has everybody taking crazy pills or something

I suppose Origins is unplayable, too. In fact, the entire trailer has nothing to do with the next zombies map, and we are getting a re-skinned Five that is played by the N4.

Alright now that the trailer has dropped and confirmed it IS Tank, Takeo, Nikolai and Richtofen that we are playing as, we can put this to rest lol

Yep I was wrong. Well not technically. I only said be suspicious of what treyarch says. But yes like birdman said we are playing as the o4 in their younger state.

tryarch posted on their Facebook page a message from each of the four original characters and also it showed them in the trailer in there younger state ;)
