Forum:Black Ops 3 story

Recently, I have read Aug's blog on the events of Black Ops 3 campaign. Also, I have recently been playing though myself paying extensive attention to the story and dialogue to get my own take on it. And while I've not at Life yet (have unlocked it, but haven't played it yet) so far this theory seems the best fit aside from the idea of the whole thing never happening. It would appear that the player at some point entered Taylor's mind and is living though his memories up until Life when the player has much more powerful control over Taylor's mind and body. And there are multiple scenes that hugely hint at the player being Taylor and not the player. The most powerful being when the players system shut down and Kane acts incredibly distraught to how they are acting, and at one point goes "Taylor..." clearly in a way addressing Taylor them-self, and not the Taylor you are currently chasing. Furthermore at the end of Lotus Towers it shows the player in a hospital with Kane stating they can't go with the player and they'll lose their old life. Given at the end of Lotus Tower all that happened was you got a pipe though your fake arm, it's clear this isn't something you're experiencing after that mission, because frankly it makes no sense, it's more understandable this is the player experiencing Taylor going in for his DNI operation, the fact this takes place just before the player takes over Taylor really plays on the line about forgetting who they are. Finally, the very end of the campaign shows the player referring to themselves as Taylor, clearly Taylor hasn't taken over the Players mind, it the vice versa. Augs blog explains a lot more than I covered here, I just pointed out the main points that really support his theory. I'm brining this to forum because it is currently getting dismissed as fan theory when it has perfect evidential back up to support it, and I feel it needs a full on discussion as from my time in the campaign supports this theory more than the "Whole thing never happened" one. Also, it seems unlike Treyarch to make up a campaign, to then dismiss the whole thing as not happening. 22:40, January 12, 2016 (UTC)
