If they are killing the crew, then the writers are nothing but hacks which is slightly disappointing because I expected better with the campaign writers shifting to zombies and Jason Blundell leaving Treyarch.
The Forsaken already punished the characters for no good reason and none of them got what they wanted either aside from Maya who's sticking out like a sore thumb after Citadelle. The whole thing seems like misery porn but not the preachy kind.
