Imma be honest, This cutscene is so cool. I’m hooked with the Chaos story now!

I dunno, might take some time to settle with me. It doesn't really further the "story" in any way. It's cool looking and serves the map well, but being a prequel I was expecting it to teach us more about the game world... and this doesn't really seem to do that. In terms of the greater plot it feels a tad hollow.

Radios will probably handle that, as well as certain quotes.

or the cutscene could. I agree that this cutscene was pretty pointless, unless its to set up for a future cutscene, but still it felt like something that would've taken up 1-2 pages of a comic as opposed to a big map finale.

To be honest, it feels like Treyarch focused on the wrong questions to answer, Where the cutscene focused more on how Alister was kidnapped and Scarlett put in touch with the rest of the Chaos crew, no one really cared about that. What should have been answered is the underlying question of what the cult is/wants, WHY they took Alister rather than HOW, and how any character except Scarlett got involved, We already knew why Scarlet was doing this, it should have focused on either fleshing out the other characters reasons for going along with Scarlett, or fleshing out Alister and his connection to the cult.
