Reznov's death is questionable at best. It depends on if you want to believe a canonical character, ("He's been dead for five years, Mason...") Or a hidden message by Treyarch. ("or is he dead, there is no body...")

And let's be realistic: Black Ops was a game that had mind control and references to Kennedy assassination conspiracy theories. It's stupid, over-the-top, and almost Sci-Fi. It wouldn't be shocking, or unlikely, that he would be alive.

Certainly not saying he's alive, for it's absolutely foolish to argue that he is. Or, for that matter, that he isn't. It could go either way. But for now, I'll assume he's dead until something is revealed.
