Call of Duty 2015 Teasers Tied To 101st Airborne Division
Having a looking at some of the clues offered thus far in Activision’s Snapchat teasers, a rough pattern can be noticed, one that links to the United States Army’s 101st Airborne Division, aka the “Screaming Eagles”, which originally began operations in 1942.
As fans have already determined, the helicopter briefly shown in Activision’s second teaser is quite clearly the Sikorsky UH-60 Blackhawk, which was first piloted by members of the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade in 1979. Another reddit user pointed out that the snow-covered hill, also in Activision’s second teaser, looks awfully similar to the Ardennes Forest, a region that spans parts of France and Germany, but mostly Luxembourg and Belgium. The Ardennes region became home to the Battle of the Bulge that began in December, 1944, a battle the 101st Airborne Division was involved in around the city of Bastogne.
The 101st Airborne Division is mostly noted for its involvement in World War 2 — the D-Day landings and airborne jumps, Operation Market Garden, the liberation of the Netherlands, Battle of the Bulge — as well as the fight for Hamburger Hill during the Vietnam War. It wasn’t until after 1974 when it became an air assault division that the 101st would begin piloting helicopters. Most recently, the 101st served in Iraq and Afghanistan.
But enough of the Wikipedia-inspired history lesson. How does the 101st potentially tie in to Call of Duty 2015, or what many are anticipating to be Call of Duty: Black Ops 3?
Here’s the kicker. As YouTuber TheGameWarrior pointed out, voice actor James C. Burns, who voices Black Ops 1 and Black Ops 2 protagonist Sgt. Frank Woods, can be seen wearing the the 101st Airborne Division logo on his cap in two of his most recent videos. Clearly, between these teasers and Burns’ videos, at least some measure of emphasis is being placed on the 101st. We’re just not exactly sure where Activision is trying to lead us on this one.
Activity picked up on Burns’ YouTube channel just over one week ago with this video:
In another video, Burns mentions that he “will be talking about the next Call of Duty game in whatever limited fashion [he] can” in his upcoming videos, which appears to confirm his involvement in the upcoming game being developed by Treyarch.

Quick theory:
Game starts right after 911.
US sends in the 101st airborne into the middle east.
Main mission fails.
CoD 4 begins.
so basically a prequel to CoD 4.
If not, then I'm hoping for WW2 lol

_Behr_ Obviously if it's Black Ops 3 it will be set in the future. They aren't just gonna make another Black Ops and set it so many years in the past, it wouldn't make any sense at all. World at War 2 please, otherwise I'm not interested.
no it would make sence take alook at waw and bops they are in the past well cod 4 and mw2 was set in the modern day so i dont see why they cant go back to 1945/1960s.
honestly treyarch cods are bad for the multiplayer but zombies man the zombies will make the new cod and if its black craps 3 then i hope zombies is set in 1968 again no like aws bad exo mode

1989 I just really hope Treyarch do zombies again as Exo zombies is just shit compared to REAL Treyarch zombies.
Of course they will. They aren't just gonna stop. They have the best zombies. WaW was their best game.
K1L_FATMAN Tbh this looks like they are bringing call of duty back to their orginal roots. And im liking it allot. World at war was one of the best call of dutys ever and i always wanted to see another world at war be made.
The modern day and advanced themed call of dutys are just getting way out of hand.
Remember what brought us nazi zombies....
Call of duty is world at war. End of story.
Bro, we haven't had a modern CoD for 3 years. How could a modern themed CoD be getting out of hand?

1989Lia I hope they don't mess up! Vietnam type call of duty would be cool either that or World at War 2!
I highly doubt Treyarch will mess up on this CoD, I have full trust in them.
This ^. I agree completely, so far I've loved every single CoD game Treyarch has released. I have no doubt in my mind that they will make another amazing game.
