Okay, let me help out Qw3rty, as a favor for him writing out that Bo2 rant that I had fun with.

Why I hate the Bo2 zombies stuff:

1. Gary Oldman, Some Hobo, the "big chested" girl and the nerd guy are sterotypes just like their predecessors Superman Marine, Drunkard Russian, Put-Up-Shut-Up-Japanese-Samurai and Sadistic-Nazi, but unlike the original four, the new four do not have any real backstory. This is what I mean.

Tank Dempsey: Had a five year old daughter (Five-Years old as of Moon). He was a decorated war veteran and fought at Peleliu, fighting his way singlehandedly through to freedom. Was captured at the Asylum and was promptly put into service as a test subject who happened to have angermanagement issues. Loves Heavy weaponry and American weapons, such as the BAR, Thompson, M16, HK21, MG42, Browning and RPK. Weapon of choice: WAW Maps: BAR/Thompson, Black Ops Maps: M16. Favored Wonder Weapon of Choice: WunderWaffe DG-2. *He is seen wielding the WunderWaffe in Ascension's poster*

Nikolai Belinski: A man of destruction, Nikolai has had at least seven wives, and has killed at least four of them in unique ways (one a shotgun, another iron, a third an axe and the fourth hand to hand). He was thrown onto the line by Stalin and promptly forgotten, and after being taken to Richtofen he was experimented on and was infused with a Vodka based serum in order to make sure he would function. Nikolai favors the PPSH-41, RPK, FN FAL and the HK21. His signature weapon of choice in WAW is the PPSH-41, and in Black Ops is the FN FAL. Wonder Weapon of Choice: Thundergun *He is not seen wielding it in Ascensions poster, he is seen wielding the Ray Gun instead*

Takeo Masaki: A Japanese Officer, Takeo believes in honor to an obsessive point. Takeo is quiet, and rarely speaks. He killed his family for their dishonor, and hates Richtofen. Weapon of choice: The Arisaka in WAW, and M14 in Black Ops. Wonder Weapon of Choice: The Ray Gun *He is seen wielding the Winter's Howl in teh Ascension poster, despite said weapon never being available in that map*.

Edward Richtofen: A sadistic nazi who killed (temporarily) Maxis and his Daughter, he developed several wonder weapons, and is the main antagonist of the story. This only becomes apparent toward the end of the campaign, where he finally reveals his true colors and takes over the zombies. Richtofen is psychotic, and hears voices in his head which can be heard after Ascension era maps. Weapon of choice: MP40 (WAW and BO). Wonder Weapon of Choice: WunderWaffe DG-2. (He built it).

The new Group // Green Run Team

Abigail Briarton // Misty

Misty is a woman, in her twenties, who has survived the zombie apocolypse and landed with her new squadmates. Apparently, she had a pet monkey and her parents are deceased. Other than that, we don't know much other than the fact she hates Stulinger and seems to be aware of his secret. Signature Weapon: The Remington 870 MCS. She also has a crush on Marlton.

Marlton Johnson

A nerd, who was present at the battle of Nuketown, but he did not take part in it. Marlton is very knowledgable about various weapons and is aware of the existence of Nacht Der Untoten. He was a radiation scientist (or at least was with their unit) who was present when the zombies attacked at Nuketown during the time where the Nuclear Missile Launch from Moon occured. Marlton's signature weapon is the DSR-50, and he returns Misty's feelings toward him. He hates Russman for reasons unknown.

Samuel J. Stulinger // Richtofen v2.5

Apparently, Stulinger is a conspiracy theorist...to an obssessive point where one should be wondering if he's the one with a conspiracy. Stulinger hates Misty, calling her names that should not be repeated, and hates Marlton too. He gets along well with Russman for some reason. It is revealed in Die Rise he ate zombie flesh prior to Green Run, therefore explaining why he can hear Richtofen in both maps. He is the only one who can hear Richtofen, and is afraid that the others will turn on him if they find out. He appears to be partially infected by the zombie plague, and why he has not turned is odd, Richtofen may be halting his infection until he completes his purpose. Samuel prefers revolvers, the Executioner and Python being his favored weapons of choice.

Russman // The Hobo

Not much is known about Russman other than him being a homeless person. He gets along with Stulinger and dislikes Marlton, and loves the Five Seven and Explosive weaponry.

Loosely put, the Green Run Team doesn' t have as much of a backstory than their Original Team counterparts.

Personally, it should have been: Michael Jackson, MC Hammer, Eddie Murphy and Morgan Freeman. Michael Jackson because of Thriller and the dancing zombies, MC Hammer because of his famous music video, Eddie Murphy because of the Donkey and Morgan Freeman because I said so.

Both crews do not "run around killing zombies and do nonsensical things". Each task had a purpose which culminates in the destruction of earth and the furtherment of Richtofen or Maxis's plans.
