If youve watched the reveal trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, youll have seen fan-favourite character Frank Woods present and right. However something is certainly off …
Its Woods, alright, however his voice isnt rather right – whichs since the original voice star behind the character has been changed. With whom, were unsure – Activision has yet to make that announcement. But we do know the original voice star is quite depressed about it.
Rather, it is a direct follow up to the very first Black Ops game, with a story that takes location between Black Ops 1 and 2. And what we have here is what sounds like a voice star doing an impression of Burns Woods – as opposed to a brand new take on the long-running character. Its one thing to bring a new character in, right, and have him produce a whole new Woods.

Speaking in a YouTube video where he responded to a series of fan concerns, an exasperated James C Burns, who has actually played Frank Woods for over a years, expressed his aggravation.
” Im sure the storys going to be fucking brilliant,” Burns states. “Its just that if I could have brought all that I understand … like I got 80,000 pounds of weight to give this thing. Not a knock on whoever they got in to do it, but he does not have the background I have with Woods. Ive got 11 years with this guy male, and I have all this backstory and all this front-loaded stuff … and I understand the … man!
” So thats my disappointment. I would have fucking cru – not that this persons not going to do a good task. Im sure he is. Hes a professional star. Im sure hell do great. … ah! I would have fucking crushed this thing. Thats my disappointment. I want I had a shot at it. Because guy I believe I would have actually …
” I would have done a terrific task. Im so bummed I didnt get a chance at it. Thats all.”
It appears Burns isnt the only old-school Black Ops voice actor to have actually been replaced for Cold War. The trailer reveals some familiar faces from the first Black Ops video game that came out back in 2010, consisting of Alex Mason (originally played by actor Sam Worthington) and Jason Hudson (initially played by star Ed Harris), however theyre voiced by brand-new actors, too.
Activision has actually said who plays the new “hero cast”. Russell Adler is played by Bruce Thomas, Helen A. Park is played by Lily Cowles, Lazar Azoulay is played by Damon Dayoub, and Lawrence Sims is played by Reggie Watkins. The video games villain is played by David Negahban, who remained in Showtimes Homeland series. And lets not forget the Ronald Reagan impression.
While Burns does sound frustrated by the decision, hes having some fun with it.
James C Burns is NOT delighted about being recast. You done him dirty Treyarch and I do not regard that! from r/blackopscoldwar

Burns has likewise dispelled a couple of myths in a few tweets, calling the choice a “secret” and insisting his recent voice deal with a fan-made Zombies map called Kowloon had nothing to do with it.
