That sounds pretty good. I wish there were a few more details that gave us hints as to who this man is though.

Artist Rendition? Who pays a firm $1000s of dollars to get three of the characters spot on(sorry, I believe the other three are very close...close enough to where I didn't question who it was when I saw them) and then drastically mess up another? It makes no sense. Artist rendition is a huge cop out to not understanding why they would throw him in there.

So here's my question. Whether you believe that it is Richtofen or not, tell me who the man on the poster looks more like. Does he look like Richtofen, or does he look like the man from CoDZL. Honestly that's all I want to know.

I dunno. That may be the CoD: Elite info. They've stated that it is coming out in September.

I have a feeling that we'll get to know this man more soon. I'm not even sure it's an introduced character yet.

Because the devs wanted to diversify the wonder weapons. That's the only reason I see.

And look at the man's left eye in the poster. There is a scar under it. I'm not talking about the shadow under his right eye that is seen. There's a different scar that is not present on Richtofen that is present on the poster AND on the man from CoDZL.

To those who disagree, answer me this. Do the man in the poster and the man in CoDZL not look more similar than the man in the poster and Richtofen. Whether you agree that it is or isn't him, just answer me that.

Just look at the other thread.

I love how this thread started as "Who is this man?" and it's taken a completely different turn and now that question is thrown into another thread.

And the scar we're speaking of is on the left side of his face, not the right.

Shooter. I get it. You don't agree. You've told us. But they still look nothing. Face-wise or body-wise.

And their body builds aren't even remotely similar.

No one messes up that bad.

but other than the alleged "buzzcut" or whatever it looks just like rich... jawline, facial features, need i remind everyone that rich also has a scar on his face?

-facepalm- No they do not.

No one messes up that bad.

After it's time, or before it's time? Thunder came before Wave, correct?

I completely understand why you want it to be Richtofen. But the evidence doesn't add up.

He may play a greater part of the story in BO2. Richtofen isn't present, which would suggest that this is a scene after Moon. Richtofen wouldn't be there in this case. So we still don't know who this is. It could be Gersche or Yuri or Maxis, or it could be no one we've met. I honestly have no idea who it is, which is why I posted this thread. I wanted input and I appreciate both sides of the argument, but I want to see evidence besides what I've seen so far for it being Richtofen before I will give into that belief.

Lenne, you are coming straight to the question we want to know. Why is this man included? Who is it? He looks exactly like the man from the CoDZL trailer. He looks nothing like Richtofen. So who and why? That's what we are trying to solve.

Ah ok. Yea agreed. And I was about to say that the 3D graphical limitations will play a role in PS2 games. This is current gen. And they got every character accurate except your supposed "Richtofen."

Your first picture doesn't work. And I'm not saying those artworks look the same as the in game character, but they are similar. The man on the First Strike poster doesn't even look similar to Richtofen.

And kingsley...sadly, that belief describes many on this forum as of late.

The info is relevant because the man in the poster is bald and some suggested that maybe Richtofen was planned to be bald in early stages. If he has hair there, then it wasn't even a thought that he would be bald.

You can even see the hair under his hat in that picture. In other words, there was no intention for him to ever be bald.

Show me your evidence. I've shown a ton of evidence that suggests that I am correct and they are not the same. Show me yours.

Please give me a Richtofen picture that looks like that guy. I'm waiting. And please, deny that they look exactly the same. And who pays an outside firm to get every character spot on, but then mess up Richtofen that bad. I would have made them fix it.

It looks NOTHING like any Richtofen model we've had. No artist can screw a character up that bad. The scar for Richtoden is on his right cheek. This drawing and actual character has a scar on his left. Richt has hair. This man doesn't. The build of Richt and this man are COMPLETELY different. And who is going to pay someone money and tell them "Draw every character exactly as they are in game, but ya know what! Just have fun with Richtofen." That's ridiculous to believe.

I honestly believe some of you aren't even considering the possibility. You're just saying "it's Richtofen 100% confirmed so shut up." That is ignorance.

Here are the facts:

1. The man looks nothing like Richtofen.

2. The man looks exactly like the man in CoDZL video.

3. The man's head fits almost exactly in the blank portrait.

4. The man and Richtofen have completely different body builds.

5. The other characters on the poster look completely accurate.

And many are still ignoring the fact that the poster is almost completely inaccurate with nova crawlers and all te wonder weapons that aren't in the map.

He's definitely talking about his CTO. Check context man.

Why the ?
