Richtofen was a well thought up character, then they took a huge shit on it in Ascension, destroying his sadistic crazy nature with girlish giggling and obvious bisexuality. I wouldn't be opposed to the bisexuality or maybe the girlish attitude if it was established from the start.

I'm not gonna add anything to Takeo, I've already said that I still like and respect him, and he's the only OC I still like.

Nikolai says the line "Stay away from my vodka" in four maps, Shi No Numa, Der Riese, Kino der Toten and Shangri-La, what, the, serious, fuck? His "wives" which keep adding up because they established that he killed as soon as they're introduced pisses me off greatly (can't we just have it that he shotgun'd his second wife away and his third accidentally landed on an axe head?). I enjoyed him in WaW but Kino was enough evidence to prove that he wasn't going to change at all.

Story-wise, Sam pisses me off, in fact I gave up caring about whether Treyarch could write good stories when Moon came out and the best excuse for the disaster of a map story-wise that it was was the term "Aliens done it" and "Sam knows how to control an Alien device and breathe in space with no problem". That bitch has earned my hatred and loathing, for that I congratulate her.

Dempsey is still a figurehead of one being up their own ass, still saying things like "Couldn't go on without me?" or something similar when revived. Granted, Dempsey was the only character I hated from 11th June 2009, Richtofen's drastic change in personality and Nikolai's unwillingness to say more than about 15 words repeated earned it over the years, but Takeo's still kewl.
