One of the four Marine fighting zombies.
The Marines are the military force part of the United States Marine Corps, and are part of the Richtofen's Grand Scheme Timeline. They are playable in both Tutorials, Nacht Der Untoten, and Verrückt. Tank is playable in the rest of World at War and Black Ops with some exceptions of maps, and makes appearances in Black Ops III. Rook is playable in both Tutorials.
Overview[]
In Nacht Der Untoten, a plane carrying marines back to the U.S. was shot down and only four survived. They fend off against zombies in an abandoned German Bunker.
In Verrückt, a small strike team of four sent to extract the OSS Operative Peter McCain. They are Tank Dempsey, John Banana, Smokey, and Paxton “Gunner” Ridge.
Tank Dempsey survives the onslaught at the Asylum, but is captured by the Nazis and becomes the replace test subject for an unknown Mexican (Pablo marinus) who had died. The test was on Superhumans powered by Element 115 or Divinum. Paxton escaped from Verrückt and eventually made it back to America. Smokey and John “Banana” were overrun and killed by zombies in Verrückt.
They are the playable characters in the Call of Duty: World at War version of Verrückt, but were replaced by Tank Dempsey, Nikolai Belinski, Takeo Masaki and Edward Richtofen in the Call of Duty: Black Ops version of the map.
Trivia[]
