⚠️MWIII CAMPAIGN THEORY⚠️

read this with the dead sea amount of salt.

OKAY SO, today me and @cssndra-cain were discussing the video Inkslasher had posted just a couple of hours ago, and in it he said something that made us holt every single thought we had for the MWIII campaign so far. 

firstly lets talk about the gameplay trailer, in it we see; a group of soldiers stealthily infiltrate a prison; gulag if you will (I’m pretty sure it is THE gulag but take it as you will), and during the mission we hear several voices and one of them we can recognize as Gaz, and someone else that sounded like Soap maybe? from the BRAVO team that was landing with parachutes. and maybe a new character that could be Roach? (we could only hope). also there were American accents as well. knowing the history this is a stretch but there was someone (maybe I was tripping because I'm in Warren Kole fever but) who sounded like Graves. I could 100% be wrong and i'll take it like a champ don't worry. But! @cssndra-cain brought to my attention that, during the whole mission, we don’t hear Price ONCE.

put your tinfoil hat on

it’s a bit strange isn’t it? we go on this big ass, stealth mission like that, without hearing Price once? we know Price LOVES to do these kind of missions first hand, he's not the type to sit still back in HQ and give orders. Something is not adding up...

now back to Inkslasher’s video, just bare with me a little. don’t worry I'm getting to my theory soon. he was talking about the intro mission gameplay we saw yesterday at gamescom ONL. and in video he says that the "rescue" team that we, as players, are not 141, but an elite PMC that is holding a nighttime raid at Koni held prison. People who participated in the unknown caller easter egg couple of weeks ago, received another text yesterday stating this;

he was thinking, maybe it's not 141 but shadow company because of the "PMC" in the text. it could be shadow company but, we've learned that they are not the best at doing their job properly and how incompetent they can be. (we've seen how Shadow Siege event went.. yikes)

but what I think is will be at the end, continue reading if you want to know ;)

since it is a Koni base, and a prison, that means it is not Makarov (who is the leader) that is held in the prison. why would he be held in his own prison? and why would we go to rescue him? it does look like a rescue mission because, it's a Koni base and prison, we see the player killing Koni soldiers and they speak Russian. they are definitely the enemy.

here comes the twist, who is being held in that prison, and the elite PMC trying to “rescue”, is none other than our beloved captain John Price. Hence the mission name being Operation 627. now if you didn’t know this before, 627 is John Price’s prisoner number, from when he was held captive in the gulag during OG MW2.

also Barry, being the sneaky bastard he is, posted this in his story yesterday :)

i hate him (affectionately)

now based on everything above, it got me thinking REAL hard. Just to be clear, this is just my theory, nothing solid or confirmed, a mere THEORY, that resulted after taking in all the info we got today and yesterday and talking with @cssndra-cain.

in MWIII we will be playing as 141, that is 100%. But it will be half flashback and half present time. Now how did Price get captured to begin with? That is, what I believe, what we will be discovering during the campaign. And we will be playing it until Price is captured and saved. Then from there on we will continue the hunt for Makarov with Price back as our captain. 

and the rescue team in the Operation 627, are indeed 141, but they are collaborating with shadow company or maybe they made their own PMC, who the fuck knows. all I know is that, I hear Soap, Gaz and Graves. it's a mess of a theory but it's something.

there is a lot of shit going on in my mind, and this is what I barely managed to write down cause I can't find the words. If my vocabulary wasn’t so fucked up because of my adhd I’m sure I would’ve written a longer well put theory.

NOW, if I am wrong, I will swallow my words 100% and wear a clown wig for a week playing this campaign. ultimately there's no harm done tbh.

BUT! If you choose to believe this theory, then it’s your own fault lol. Don’t get your hopes up, because this is not a leak or from Activision themselves.

this is me to Mari trying to explain my theory to her lol

Link is reborn as Zelda's daughter, and while she’s still just a kid, Ganondorf arrives at the border of Hyrule, ready to invade. In a effort to break the cycle of violence (or at least buy some time for Link to grow up in secret as the princess of Hyrule, Rinku) Zelda offers to marry Ganondorf and share the kingdom to keep it from being destroyed by war.

Two years after Mirabel saved the family miracle, life in Encanto was peaceful and truly joyous. All members of the Madrigal family were thriving without the pressures of perfection. However, the peace is suddenly disrupted when a band of rogues attacks and terrorizes the town. As the attacks worsen, Abuela must rally the people of Encanto to defend their home.

As she oversees preparations for their final strike against the invaders, one scene in particular catches her eye. Abuela's soul seemed to shatter as she watches Mariano tenderly running his hand along her granddaughter's bulging stomach and whispering sweet nothings. The young couple lock gazes with each other, communicating such love and devotion, before sharing a tight embrace and passionate kiss. It reminded Abuela of her and Pedro in their last moments together. Oh how she prayed the tragedy of her beloved Pedro would not befall Mariano. "Dios, protect him. Protect us all."

i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping

why is ao3 is blocked on the hospital wifi????

[sourdough-seal]

bingewatching will never come close to bingereading. there is nothing like blocking out the entire Earth for ten hours to read a book in one sitting no food no water no shower no bra and emerging at the end with no idea what time it is or where you are, a dried-up prune that's sensitive to light and loud noises because you've been in your room in the dark reading by the glow of a single LED. it's like coming back after a three-month vacation in another dimension and now you have to go downstairs and make dinner. absolutely transcendental

[kvothes]

so true

[elexuscal]

"it's concerning if university students are genuinely struggling to read full adult-level books for class" and "don't overstate the reporting of a single news article" and "if this shift is genuinely real, it's reflective of broad curriculum changes in lower education levels, probably at least in part due to remote schooling during COVID, and doesn't mean the new generation is being willfully Stupid and Vapid" and "when reading for personal pleasure people should read whatever they like without shame" and "reading from a broad variety of genres, styles, and authorial backgrounds will improve your understanding of both literature and the real world" and "actively mocking people for their tastes in books does not encourage them to become more adventurous you're just being mean" and also "but seriously adult books are not just boringly pretentious nothingburgers padded with pointless sex scenes, and claiming they are just shows how little you've read" all can and should co-exist.
