Warden/Demonic announcer/magic items

[bobane]

This might be irrelevant but anyways.

When you throw a nade at the pit, it will disappear in a burst of flames.

The exact same flame texture can be seen in the footsteps of Brutus when he's running at you and also when he locks something, again, same texture.

After a couple kills with the tomahawk you hear the afterlife sound. This happens twice even if you're in the prison, then when you spend a round on the bridge with only your tomahawk, you should hear the afterlife sound a third time.

When you throw it in the pit you hear the afterlife flames and it bursts in flames.

When you start the laundry machine you hear a demonic laugh and zombies start to spawn.

When you gather all 5 skulls and enter the warden's office Brutus will talk.

When you pick up the spork in afterlife mode you hear a demonic laugh.

When you throw your tomahawk at it in the cafeteria, you can hear Brutus.

Again when you have enough kills with the acidgat in the showers, you hear the demonic laugh.

All these seem to be connected to me, as if Brutus is actually the demonic announcer in a body. I know both voices are different but Brutus' voice might be voice of the original person(Ferguson?) Crossed with the demonic announcer's

So what I think is that the demonic announcer is having fun watching us try to survive and that all these cool weapons (tomahawk, blundergat, golden spork) are demonic(they belong to him) that's why he's pissed when we grab them.

So that makes me think that the map does happen in hell, where the characters are dead.

And he might give Weasel his life back if he's able to survive his little game and break the cycle.

Well, I see the connection. But personally I believe that Brutus is a sort of demon, a lesser entity residing within the Aether like the Beast, Fluffy, H*llhounds, and Jumping Jacks.

Im fairly sure that Brutus IS ferguson. They just renamed him when he "turns".

[NikolaisVodka]

Brutus is Ferguson. I don't understand why people say they're not the same. Even when I was playing solo as Sal he has a line saying something like "Did you hear that? Sounds like Ferguson." This is when I was running around with Brutus/Ferguson in circles.

[Guest]

The guard was ferguson, James A. Johnston WAS the first warden at Alcatraz. He was viewed as a Iron man due to his harsh security and lack of rehabilitation. You can see the zombies that have the gaurd uniform that's why Sal say "hey guys, I think it's ferguson."

[bobane]

He actually says Can you understand some of the shit this guy's saying? I think it's ferguson.

Yes I think it is him but i'm sure we can all agree that it is a possessed version of him?

[bad karma]

As with most things zombie related, I have a theory about this.

Think about it. Why would it only Ferguson be turned into a Demon-Type creature?

Come to think about it, why would George Romero be different?

I'll answer these questions: BECAUSE THEY ARE EXCEPTIONAL BEINGS.

Instead of just turning them into just another mind-less slave, the 115 works with the exceptional qualities of their minds to make them something more than zombies.

I believe that Brutis/Ferguson, upon coming into contact with the 115 and dying, became the controller. Possibly, he wanted revenge on the Weasel for killing him, and thus, tried to make their existence "hell-on-earth", hence the appearance of the map. Ferguson was so exceptional, that his influence over the zombies caused the fabric of space-time realty to bend, bringing the future weapons and perks to this time period.

Upon dying, Brutis lost his control, and that effectively contained the outbreak. And all was quiet.....

until Samantha took control.

Think about this. I had this theory long before BO2

Furgeson is a Guard not a Warden. :/

[bobane]

Furgeson is a Guard not a Warden. :/

Well the only reason I hinted towards that, is because of Sal's quote about the guard

Because except for that I don't believe Ferguson is Brutus

[Monopoly Mac]

Brutus is a guard. Says it on his badge. Not saying he's Ferguson though

[EpicAnnihilater]

How can Ferguson be Brutus, because remember at the start of the cut scene, they all kill him with the executioners? I don't know but maybe Ferguson reincarnated when the cycle restarted, turning him into the heavily armoured Brutus we all know and hate!

[MysteryMachineX]

I will argue that they are not the same person. There is nothing to suppose he is. Now, when the PC version comes out, and the quotes are released, I will listen to all the quotes. Unless there's a quote saying "Hey, look it is Ferguson, I mean Brutus" I will remain unconvinced.

[GRILL]

Something that's interesting, but surely not definitive proof, is that the actual Gaelic meaning of "Ferguson" is "Man of Strength".

The surname is a patronymic form of the personal name Fergus. The name Fergus is derived from the Gaelic elements fear ("man") and gus ("vigour", "force", or "choice").

Brutus is one strong man... zombie... thing.

This.

Also, you guys have realized that multiple Brutus (Bruti?) can spawn at the same time, right? This is not some single entity. The fact that four of them can spawn at once shows it's not just some single spirit or entity. He is just like the other zombies, in that he is just being sent by The Controller.

It's my belief that Ferguson's soul went to hell after he was murdered in the opening cutscene, and was sent into Purgatory as a new form of a Zombie, Brutus. To punish the four for what they had done, he is trapped in Purgatory to make the mobsters pay. I'm still working out the kinks, but I have a different view on this whole Brutus thing.

[CrimsonZombie]

But Brutus does say when he get's killed "I'm trapped here, just like you!" Now this tell's me his not the one totally in control but is messing around with the group. Though someone else is in charge and keeps spawning Brutus and other guards. Everything else I agree to except this part. Brutus is similar to George but is in full control at all times.
