Something I thought about for the past 2 months (a bit before the release of The Tortured Path) is the different pages for the unlockable characters in WWII's Nazi Zombies. I also thought making changes on my own, but I think it's better if we all discuss these changes (before Black Ops 4 takes all the attention haha)
As of right now, there are 32 unlockable characters in the mode and 20 out of those 32 are reskinned characters, some have their own page and others don't have page at all. You can check the Bureau of Archaic Technologies page to see what's going on.
So after thinking about it the past two months, here's my idea for a overhaul of all the pages.
Merging[]
The first step should be to merge most of the pages:
- B.A.T. Elite should be merged with Hank Rideau, since it's the same character.
- Bloodraven Hunter should be merged with Hunter (WWII) and a section should be added for each reskin (Bloodraven Hunter, Stormraven Hunter, Moonraven Hunter, Deathraven Hunter and The Hunter from Seville).
- Bloodraven Mountaineer and The Mountaineer from Ruskeala should be merged with Mountaineer and a section should be added for each reskin (Bloodraven Mountaineer, Stormraven Mountaineer, Moonraven Mountaineer, Deathraven Mountaineer and The Mountaineer from Ruskeala)
- Deathraven Survivalist should be merged with Survivalist (WWII) and a section should be added for each reskin (Bloodraven Survivalist, Stormraven Survivalist, Moonraven Survivalist, Deathraven Survivalist and The Survivalist from Hanoi).
- Bloodraven Slayer, Deathraven Slayer and The Slayer from Casablanca should be merged with Slayer and a section should be added for each reskin (Bloodraven Slayer, Stormraven Slayer, Moonraven Slayer, Deathraven Slayer and The Slayer from Casablanca)
- Mountaineer should be merged with Mikhail, explanation in "Special cases".
Renaming[]
With The Tortured Path, Sledgehammer Games gave names to most of the previous unlockable characters:
- Hunter should be renamed Del Toro
- Survivalist should be renamed Nguyen
- Slayer should be renamed Omari
- Mountaineer should be renamed Mikhail
We should also make redirection pages so if people search Slayer they'll end up in the "Omari" page.
Special cases[]
Mountaineer[]
It was confirmed by Cameron Dayton that Mountaineer and Mikhail are the same character. In addition, one of the audio files (and subtitles) for The Tortured Path mentions a character named "Saburov", it's not too far-fetched to think that it's Mikhail and that its full name is Mikhail Saburov. Unfortunately, I never heard this quote so I'm not sure if it appears in the game or if it's a cut quote. Could the name be still valid even if it's a cut quote?
B.A.T. Agent[]
It was also confirmed by Cameron Dayton that BAT Agent and Vivian Harris are the same character. It's the same situation as Robert McNamara who appears in both Black Ops campaign and Zombies mode. And I think it should work the same for Vivian Harris, I tried to do it several weeks back but it failed and I undid everything, if someone can help me figuring out how that works, it would be great.
Here you go, here's my idea for an overhaul of the characters pages, let me know if you agree or not. I think it's a better system than the actual one (and more up-to-date).
EDIT (09/18/2018)
Well a month later, everything's done:
- All the pages related to Mountaineer are now in Mikhail Saburov
- All the pages related to Survivalist are now in Mai Nguyen
- All the pages related to Slayer are now in Asim Omari
- All the pages related to Hunter are now in Sofia Del Toro
- The page B.A.T. Elite is now in Hank Rideau
- The page B.A.T. Agent is renamed Vivian Harris as part of the page Vivian Harris
