I conquer. Compared to the Green Run, CIA/CDC, Five and Call of the Dead characters, the Original characters were the best. They kept the game full of character with their humorus quotes.

Dempsey was only a stereotypical American for the humour. It's not a stereotype that is true any longer either. You have to also consider he was at the raid in Verruckt. That's pretty badass. He's also the only character that seems to play a good role as a leader.

Nikolai, I mean who in their right mind would not like this guy. Besides, Takeo of course. If you listen to his quotes on all his appearences, he's a pretty damn funny guy. I'd enjoy the laughs we had with him. Richtofen, while the new announcer has a quote where he says, "None of you are going to say anything about vodka? You guys are boring!'. Nikolai should definitely return due to his hilarious quotes.

Takeo. I don't know why people say he's annoying, but I really like this guy. His quotes are awesome, and every time he opens his mouth, he talks about his rich background. The only thing I didn't like was the fact you couldn't use the katana strapped to his belt at all.

Sam, is a really major character and should appear in Black Ops 2 in some form or another. It's kind of silly to be playing as a little girl in Richtofen's body, but since she and Takeo have some sort of bond to kill Richtofen, I really do expect her to return. Compared to the other female characters, Sarah I won't even get started on and Misty? She was practically made to impress the guys playing. At least, Sam has some knowledge of the zombies, having controlled them herself.

Richtofen, is a real psyhotic nutjob, but his accent and quotes mae up for it in a way. If you don't like him, you'll have to put up with it for a while at least, since  he's now the Demonic Announcer. There is a quote found on the Pc version that has Richtofen stating how he misses the other guys. I think Richtofen was a well-thought up character.

Sorry, for the wall of text, but I am really offended you called the original guys a disaster.
