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.

I can really see the clues pointing to another WaW game as most of the teasers are involved in the 1940's.. Black Ops 3 or World at War 2 would be amazing!

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.

Hopefully they'll remake the Black ops games, because if the next COD is a world war game I definitely wont be buying it.

If im honest, I'm not really bothered about the setting, as long as the MP works without the lag and the terrible lag compensation. Hopefully proper servers in full this time.

Personally don't want it to go that far back! Cod4 is far enough. Never really got into W@W.
