Added DiffLines:
* ApocalypticLog: In ''Revelations'', you can find the last radio message recorded by John Banana, who details the failure of the mission to extract Peter [=McCain=] from the asylum and that the now-zombified Smokey is eating his brain as he speaks.
* CoversAlwaysLie: The promotional artwork for ''Shi No Numa'' and ''Der Riese'' depicted Marines fighting zombies in the new locations, seemingly implying more Marines would be the playable characters. ''Shi No Numa'' instead introduces the Ultimis crew, and until the extra game modes of ''Black Ops II'' such as Grief, generic characters like the Marines are never used again.
* EatenAlive: John Banana dies a long, slow death as the zombified Smokey slowly eats his brain.
