The character was voiced by James C. Burns in the previous games. But Treyarch has now replaced the voice actor with a new actor and players are annoyed saying that it should have brought James back without him as Woods.

Several players agreed to this and have said that they always wanted James to be back for his role but “it is what it is.” Many also said that the new actor is doing a good job but it feels like they are doing the impersonation of James acting as Woods. Maybe Treyarch should have thought more about this!

Why Didn’t Treyarch Bring back James C. Burns?

Burns was the voice actor Woods in the first Black Ops title, Black Ops 2, and Black Ops 4. But he was replaced by Damon Victor Allen in Cold War and as per Burns he was not called by Activision to act in the game and was very disappointed by it.

He also said that he did not know the reason behind him not getting the callback. It was seemingly clear that he would not return for Black Ops 6 after being skipped for the role in Cold War but it can not be said for certain what the reason could be.

It has been alleged online that the voice actor broke the NDA and this could be the main reason. However, it is impossible to say for certain until and unless Activision or Treyarch do not share their end of the story.
