Cod timeline.

As explained before, each COD had its own timeline and story, but due to several events and decisions made by Activision, now all CODs take place in the same universe. Now I will explain their order, not the story, just in case you are interested in knowing this timeline or want to play the games in order.

・1912

For now the furthest point on the timeline is the zombies chaos of black ops 4, being counted on the maps dead of the night, voyage of despair, ix and ancient evil

・1939-1945

This period is when World at War, WW2 and Vanguard take place, cods that take place during World War II. There are different cods that take place during this time, but in this unified universe, only these are the main ones. In addition, Vanguard's zombies and seasons also take place during this period (only up to season 2, from season 3 onwards there was no lore).

・1960-1968

This is when the Black Ops and Declassified campaigns take place, both at the same time, but Declassified is not mandatory for you to understand the story.

・1981-1985

This is when bocw takes place, including its campaign, multiplayer, zombies and seasons. If you want a more complete experience, I recommend you play with Adler, since he has extra dialogues related to the lore.

・1986-1989

This may seem a bit confusing to some people, but this is when the past missions of black ops 2 take place. For now we don't know if 100% of bo2 is canon, only that what takes place in the past is about 70% canon.

・1991-???

This is the period in which bo6 takes place, including its campaign, multiplayer, zombies and seasons. But since this post is being made before the last season, I'm not sure how long this part of the BO6 lore will last.

・2019-2020

Now we've reached the mw Reboot franchise, starting with the events of mw1, which includes the campaign, multiplayer, special ops and seasons.

・2021

This is the year in which the zombies events of MW3 take place.

・2022-2023 (half of 2023)

This is the short period in which the events of MW2 take place, including its campaign, multiplayer, special ops and seasons.

・2023-2024

And finally, we arrive at MW3. If you exclude Zombies, everything that appears in MW3 is unfortunately canon and important to the timeline.

This new timeline ends up excluding several cods, are there any references to them? Yes, for example ghosts in the mw2 campaign, but for now they are just references and we are not 100% sure that they are present in this universe.

This post was made on 01/04/2025, before the BO6 seasons and the 2025 cod, there may be changes throughout the year.

Here’s something I’ve been translating on and off for the past week or so! I was looking at old German youth magazines in order to find interesting articles about classic rock bands (specifically Pink Floyd) and came across this in the 01/1978 issue of BRAVO magazine (One of the most famous teen/young adult magazines in Germany that’s been there since 1958 and is still going strong today!) A lot of youth magazines back in the day had articles and posters about rock bands because, well, that’s the people who were celebrities at that time! This page includes both short descriptions of the band members and a short history of the band up until that point when the issue came out! Enjoy ;)

Here’s the original picture

And here is the translation! (Italized text are context comments added by me to add to the understanding of this text!)

Warning: Some of the information here is obviously incorrect!

Pink Floyd: Their profiles

Nick Mason:

Born on the 27th of January 1945 in London, plays drums, has black hair, brown eyes, is 1,72 m tall (for non metric peeps it’s approximately 5 foot 8), is married to Lindy, has two daughters, owns a vineyard and collects old cars (old timers in German means old/vintage cars)

Rick Wright:

Born on the 28th of July 1945 in London, plays the organ/keyboard, piano, cello, and Moog-synthesizer; has blonde hair, blue eyes, is 1, 74 m tall (approximately 5 foot 9), is married to Juliette, has a son named Jamie, and a daughter named Gaia, loves football (or soccer for American peeps)

Roger Waters:

Born on the 6th of September 1944 in Great Bookham near Cambridge, plays bass, Moog-synthesizer, and sings as well; has blonde hair, grey eyes, is 1,83 m tall (approximately 6 feet), is married to Caroline, and has a 15 month old son named Harry.

David Gilmour:

Born on the 6th of March 1946 in Cambridge, plays lead guitar and sings; has brown hair, blue eyes, is 1,78 m tall (approximately 5 foot 10), is married to Ginger, and has a 2 year old daughter named Alice.

The diary/summary of their career; All their albums

1965

The three architecture students Roger Waters, Rick Wright, and Nick Mason meet and get to know each other, establishing the band Sigma 6.

1966

February: Sigma 6 gets their first fee for a performance in the London Marquee Club and mostly cover popular rock and blues songs. During this time they meet art student Syd Barrett. He writes songs and joins the band as a guitarist and singer. Under his influence Sigma 6 evolve into their own music style: The group does electronic experiments and uses spotlights, reversal film, and recorded footage as part of their stage shows. Thus psychedelic music is born. Syd Barrett is as well (psychedelic), who now comes up with new names for the band almost every month — they call themselves “T-Set,“ “Abdabs” — and in this group a girl sings as well from time to time: Juliette Gale. She later marries keyboardist Rick Wright.

June: The group could pay for a band bus for approximately 200 Mark (the German currency at the time of this article), but decide to separate for the time instead. No one is interested in performing, since the boys want to enjoy the semester holidays as well as after them improve and work harder on their studies; music is fun but a real job is more important. Syd Barrett then has a new idea for a band name: The Pink Floyd Sound. He comes up with his idea through combining the names of two American blues singers: Pink Anderson and Floyd Council. The owner of an artist agency, Peter Jenner, sees a performance from The Pink Floyd Sound in the Marquee, and then from there on decides to manage the band, not knowing the band wanted to break up.

July: Peter Jenner gets the band gigs, and thus Pink Floyd stays together.

October: Pink Floyd are now the stars of the London Underground. They perform in the Roundhouse to 2000 fans, with even Paul McCartney being there to see them.

December: On the 23rd of December the UFO club opens, with Pink Floyd performing there daily henceforth.

1967

January: The English music magazine “Melody Maker” write an article about Pink Floyd, which makes record companies curious about the band. The band accepts the best offer, and as they sign the record label contract, they cash in an advance payment of 40 000 Mark.

February: The first single “Arnold Layne” gets recorded.

March: Arnold Layne goes to the English hit charts.

April: The single is on number 20 in the charts and then falls off. But this beginning success gives them the push they needed to record their first album “The Pipers at the Gates of Dawn.“ Norman “Hurricane” Smith serves as producer for this album, and began his career as a recording engineer for the Beatles. While Pink Floyd work on their album in studio 3 of Abbey Road studios, the Beatles work on their album “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” at the same time in studio 2; two decade defining groups working next door.

June: Pink Floyd join as a supporting act along with Jimi Hendrix and the Move (runner up band to Electric Light Orchestra) for an England tour, but only get to play 17 minutes.

July: The second single “See Emily Play,“ becomes part of the English hit charts, coming in at number 6, and the first album “The Pipers at the Gates of Dawn” releases.

September: See Emily Play also goes into the German hit charts and reaches number 28. Syd Barrett at this time also creates a speaker system which is still useful today, where the speaker boxes are placed all around the room.

1968

At this time, it is practically impossible for Pink Floyd to continue performing with Syd Barrett. He is more and more off in his own world and mind, often not knowing where he is. Out of necessity, the band thus searches for a second guitarist who could join the band.

February: David Gilmour joins Pink Floyd. Syd is still part of the band, but during concerts his amps are often not even turned on, so that the audience doesn’t know any better about his mistakes.

April: On the 6th of April Syd definitively leaves the band, with manager Peter Jenner going with him. Pink Floyd begin working on their second album “A Saucerful of Secrets.“

June: At a free open air concert on the 29th in the London Hyde Park the band officially announces and debuts David Gilmour as their new lead (and only) guitarist. On the same day the new album releases as well.

1969

July: The soundtrack album Pink Floyd worked on for the film “More,” releases.

October: Pink Floyd have their first concert in Germany on the 11th of October at the Pop and Blues Festival in the Essen Grugahalle venue. On this day, Deep Purple celebrate their first concert in Germany as well.

November: The double album “Ummagumma” releases and makes the group successful worldwide for the first time.

1970

March: The soundtrack album Pink Floyd worked on for the film “Zabriskie Point” releases.

June: Pink Floyd perform the title track of their upcoming new album “Atom Heart Mother” worldwide at open air festivals with recorded footage, dry ice fog, and light bombs as part of their special effects on stage.

October: The album “Atom Heart Mother” releases and leads the album charts in England and America.

1971

The album “Meddle” comes out. This year Pink Floyd is particularly busy; they go from one concert to the next and have multiple tours worldwide.

1972

The soundtrack album Pink Floyd worked on for the film “La Vallée” releases under the title “Obscured by Clouds” as their new album. The rest of the year the band spends inside the studio.

1973

March: The album “Dark Side of the Moon” releases and is on the English and American album charts for over two years, and also goes gold in Germany. It is to this day the band’s most sold album.

October: Pink Floyd perform their last German concert for a long time on the 12th of October at the Olympiahalle in Munich, and it becomes the sensation of the year. Pink Floyd also make their way into the English and German single charts again with the single “Money.”

1974

Pink Floyd are tired of success and go back to their private family lives, with rumors appearing that the group will break up. In autumn, the double album “A nice pair” comes out, which is a rerelease of their first two albums.

1975

September: The album “Wish You Were Here” releases.

1976

This year, Pink Floyd doesn’t appear publicly that much as well, except for some performances at festivals.

1977

January: In Dortmund Pink Floyd start their first German tour since 3 years ago on the 23rd. They have 2 concerts each for Dortmund, Frankfurt, and Berlin, with Munich having 3. All concerts were sold out 2 months before the tour started. Simultaneously the 11th album of the band, “Animals” releases. Even before the album released, “Animals” goes gold, with 250 000 records being preordered. This German tour is also the starting point of a months long worldwide tour — the most comprehensive one that Pink Floyd have undertaken yet.

George Scholz (German, 1890-1945), Kakteen und Semaphore, 1923 Via: https://artblart.com/2016/01/14/exhibition-new-objectivity-at-lacma/

[beardedmrbean]

Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Thursday said it was "outrageous and shameful" that the Jewish community still faces discrimination.

The German leader made the comments as he attended a ceremony in Berlin almost 80 years to the day after the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp.

"Anyone who supports terrorism, anyone who incites antisemitism must expect to be prosecuted," Scholz said at the event organized by the International Auschwitz Committee.

"We do not tolerate antisemitism," he said. 

Scholz said combating antisemitism is a task for all citizens, especially because of the "increasingly shameless attempts to normalize far-right positions."

"On the contrary: let's stand up and fight back," he said. 

Holocaust a 'responsibility we all bear' in Germany

Scholz called the Holocaust a "responsibility that each and every one of us bears in our country — regardless of family history, regardless of religion or the birthplace of our parents or grandparents."

Approximately 6 million Jews were killed during the Holocaust, according to the latest research described on the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial website.

Around 1 million Jews were murdered in the Auschwitz camp, which was liberated by Soviet troops on January 27, 1945. These were "more than a million unique people, individuals, wives and husbands, boys and girls, grandmothers and grandfathers. They were gassed, shot, they died of hunger, forced labour and medical experiments," Scholz said.

He also honored other victims of the Holocaust, including Sinti and Roma, political opponents of the Nazi regime, homosexuals, the sick and people with disabilities.

"The uniqueness of the Shoah must be communicated again ... to counteract the countless attempts to falsify and relatives history," Scholz said. 

"This fight for the inviolability of the dignity of each and every individual continues," he added, citing attacks targeting people because of their beliefs, gender or skin color. "Our responsibility, 80 years on, is to resist this hatred."

Germany has marked International Holocaust Remembrance Day since 1996.

'Fewer and fewer' survivors

On January 27, a service will take place at Auschwitz that will be attended by Britain's King Charles, French President Emmanuel Macron, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) and Vice-Chancellor Robert Habeck (Greens).

At Steinmeier's invitation, several Auschwitz survivors will also travel to Auschwitz on board the government plane, the president's office said. Five years ago, to mark the 75th anniversary of the liberation, more than 100 of the camp's survivors took part in the celebrations in person.

On Monday, fewer than 50 were expected to be in attendance.

"There are fewer and fewer," Steinmeier's office said. "It is a special feature of the meeting that it will be one of the last with survivors."
