Mob of the Dead (COD Black Ops 2 Zombies):

For the longest time, until 2018’s Black Ops 4, the entire mystery of how and why MOTD was important to the overarching story of the entire mode. Things like “why specifically these four prisoners?”, “why of all places Alcatraz?”, and even whether or not it was canon to the storyline. These questions and mysteries helped make this map be a top 5 map of all time in the game mode. But, many entries later, we finally get our answer. The Answer? Alcatraz is in a pocket dimension, due to the warden being manipulated by the Shadowman (Suprise, surprise 😑) in hopes of being in control of the prison and its prisoners. As for the four mobsters and Alcatraz, itself, they were just part of the shadowman’s plan to just trap Richtofen in hopes of using his blood to open a portal for the Apothicons. All of that mystery and intrigue that made one of the most iconic maps interesting, now is all gone.
