SAM WORTHINGTON WAS ONE OF THE BEST VOICE OF ALEX MASON WITHOUT HIM THERE'S NO ALEX MASON. it goes to woods again

[@kursk_kuku141]

You and me both dude… 😢

[@TheChickenlittle11]

I agree that his voice was iconic for the character but the only problem is that occasionally Sam’s Aussie accent would slip in quite noticeably from time to time.

[@Ay3shizzle]

@@TheChickenlittle11I didn’t mind because Sam made Mason a badass

[@raid6534]

He’s the only other one

[@JapanesePeppaPig]

You say that like there’s more than two people that voice Alex😭

[@Эдиф-т2й]

We need original badass Mason (Sam Worthington), Woods (James Burns) and Hudson (Ed Harris)

[@logger22]

I think Michael Keaton’s impression would fit this cutscene better. His version is more in line with Hudson’s reluctance and by the books nature, while Ed Harris is better suited for his combat missions and interrogation. Hudson’s character changed in all 3 games he was in

[@Jefelefe]

​@@logger22 me personally did not like the michael keaton version. He doesn't sound as strong as BO1 hudson and feels forgettable. Maybe either keaton himself didnt care/get the character, or simply the director focusing on artist cameos VA rather than actual fitting voices

[@vismaypol268]

Sam Worthington was busy for avatar 2

What happened to the OG voice actors: Sam Worthington, James C Burns, and Ed Harris?

[@joshuacontreras7017]

@@kirkhouze630 I think all 3 of them weren't called in to voice in BO Cold War for unknown reasons.

Stays true to the original Mason aswell

[@Jray181818]

That’s what made it so iconic

[@Resident_Legal]

@@Jray181818 I remember in the first mission Operation 40 when Mason says "And today's the day we succeed" in Australian English LOL

@@Resident_Legal also when he says "something gnawing at me" in the U.S.D.D. mission in the elevator. He says "gnoring" in his aussie accent lol. There's actually tons and tons of lines where he slips into his accent that i've picked up on playing the game.

[@Resident_Legal]

@@tescosniffer3671 Before Chris Hemsworth we had Sam Worthington HAHAHAH

[@BigEvil97]

man we missed Sam's Voice

[@Ponch126]

Fun fact, the reason why Sam Worthington wasn’t in Cold War is because he was working on filming for Avatar: Way of the Water the same time that Cold War was filming and recording linds

[@Dgr__003]

Also I think he would’ve dug a pretty hefty hole in their budget 🤣

[@EpsilonChurchRVB]

And he still cannot be back because there are more Avatar films that he's working on as well. An additional 4 in total iirc.

[@therookie5714]

He didnt even have that many lines in the game I don’t think that’s the only reason

[@BeegBeegMikeMike]

They were also recording this game under COVID restrictions. Voice actors had to make recording studios in their homes, and mocap got cut back massively as a result as well

[@usernamepassword236]

No it's because originally the game wasn't meant to be the cold war we got so they already had actors and just had them do their own version of their voices

[@AustinGMRS]

The new Mason’s voice is so light compared to to the original but at least the new Woods give his voice justice as I barely hear the difference, except he’s a goddamn onion😂😂😂

[@memesouls8653]

lol right? I think people are hating the voice actor way too much. I barely notice the difference at this point. Even the onion line. It just sounded out of pocket for Woods to say 😂

[@kkkggg19]

​@@memesouls8653It's an amazing impression. But that's all people can see it as. Mason's however...nowhere near as good, mainly because Sam's voice is so unique.

James Burns actually voiced over Woods in the Trabzon airfield mission. That video's in youtube, it shouldn't be too hard to find. James Burns has his own KZbin channel as well with really cool behind the scenes videos of him doing mo-cap.

[@lewisofthehoood]

I heard a rumour it was originally gonna be a reboot by sledgehammer but then treyarch took over but they already had the VAs so they thought there was no point replacing them

[@silashurd3597]

I heard that Sam particularly didn’t come back because he was working on Avatar 2

[@jbroz_tv0138]

Please do a full redub of this scene with all the original casts voices! 🙏😭

[@Burnout_Kustoms]

I love how Alder just glares at Hudson like, “Bitch you’re still on blast here, don’t bring you down with you.”

[@ARC117Studios]

That sounds absolutely nothing like Sam Worthington

[@Joseph-ed6hl]

I skipped ahead because I thought the original VA was at the beginning of the video lol. This isn’t close to Sam

[@violablecrab3858]

Wonder if it'd be too much pain in the @ss to recreate all cutscenes using the original VA (hudson, mason & woods) , uploading the whole movie on youtube. Hell i'd watch it.

[@kyleshepard3139]

I still can’t forget when in BO 1 Mason just randomly turns Irish when he says “YOU FUCKIN SON OF A BITCH” Pissed myself laughing for like a minute straight 😂😂😂

[@josefcartelet8624]

next, do every Cold War characters... especially the OGs will be AI voiced by Original Black Ops Actors(Ed Harris as Hudson, and James C. Burns as Woods)

no, this fucking sucks

They could’ve at least gotten someone who sounds like mason lol and woods just always sounds like he’s trying to sound like woods

[@iluvrobux7658]

Sounds a little off becuz Sam Worthington is Australian and sometimes his accent sounds a mix of american and australian but this is pretty close

[@derppmau5329]

They made Alex Mason so nonchalant in Cold War with the new VA that I was disappointed realizing Woods got a new VA too.

[@MD0093]

I still don’t get why replace original woods voice just to get some guy that replicates his voice exactly

the only thing he's missing is the way Sam Worthington drops some of the Rs in words like a New England accent but this sounds so good.

[@MarcoGamer640Productions2012]

Yeah especially since he is Australian so I bet his accent slips in.

now do the same with everyone else's voice except Adler

Nothing can beat Sam Worthington! It's sad that he couldn't play the part in Cold War (due to scheduling issues). But what's even sadder is that James Burns (the original actor for Woods) wasn't even contacted about reprising his role in Cold War 😔

You’d think with the billions of dollars they make every year with this franchise they could get the original actors to come back…

[@skxlter5747]

Why couldnt they bring back their OG voice actors?

[@Flumpie_Waffle]

They can make Cold War have realistic cutscenes just like BO6 but how come even BO6 still doesn't look realistic as in gameplay because it'll go from movie to gameplay but it's about to be 2025 so we need this done where it's movie to movie as the gameplay 😭. Then don't even get me started on how apparently we still don't talk in BO6 😭

[@chambo4645]

I kinda wish they just rebooted black ops so we can get these 4 characters together more

Lmao 0:33 so he punched hudson and after that scene when adler closed the car door at 0:45 his sun glasses is crooked and he has a bloody nose in the next scene lol who looked over this

[@theche42069]

they honestly should get Roger Craig Smith to voice Mason if they can’t get Sam Worthington again. They actually sound pretty much the same

[@mschaub2000]

Hudson ate that punch, btw

[@ElCharroNegro02]

In mexican spanish they changed Wood‘s voice instead of Mason‘s and gave him a fking cave man voice. He sounds stupidly “masculine” like Woods in english. The ONLY fking voice they changed…WHYYYY?????

Maybe that's A.I.

[@anthonyshepherd265]

Sam Worthington is the only Alex Mason

[@Correxis]

Amazing!

[@TREVORVADER]

Honestly the voices in BO1 are still the best. Hudson’s recast was already bad in BO2. I think that was the last game I cared about the WaW/Black Ops story. 3 was neat and all but it was completely disconnected from the previous 3 games. 4 had potential but it’s the one game they decided to cut the campaign on for a stupid battle royal mode.

[@dono6474]

Gotta say, new voices just sound like bad impressions. Nothing will replace the quality of acting from the original VA’s

"There is no truth, only who you choose to believe". WTF does that even mean?! What were they on when they wrote this? I should actually be asking that question on videogame writing as a whole. Heck, might as well expand that to all western entertainment. What even happened to writing? What even does "there is no truth" mean? Truth exists my guy. It's called the truth. Either you tell it, or you don't. If you don't, that's called a "lie". That's it. There are truths, and there are lies. Anyone can say the whole truth, or just part of the truth, or completely lie, or lie just a bit. But those are the only options.
