Origins
Witness the origins of Group 935, as an ancient evil is unleashed upon the battlefields of World War I.
CoDz Code of Conduct
Listed below is the Code of Conduct.
Please don't just read numbered points and say "I'd never advertise!" and skip over it, because there are things you may not realize are categorized as advertising, or anything else, that are and you might have already broken them. If you have any questions regarding this, please ask, and have a good time and be sure to follow the rules!
1. ADVERTISING [ADV]:
Rule: Advertising to other users inside the CoDz Forum, whether it be via a post, personal message, or profile/signature links, to buy or view any products, websites, or other service is strictly prohibited. Non-intrusive links in signatures to personal YouTube accounts may be allowed, but that is case-to-case and each will be reviewed individually.
Consequence: The infringing user’s account will be banned, as well as the IP address. Any post with the intentions of advertising will be immediately and permanently deleted.
Example: If you are a spam bot, a hired advertiser, or a desperate website/business owner, this may apply to you. Signing up and making your only post a promotion for your zombie gameplay YouTube channel is breaking the rule. However simply sending links to a fellow forum goer who wants to know where to buy a capture card is not breaking this rule, PMing your buddy a link to a funny YouTube video isn't, etc.
2. DOUBLE ACCOUNTS [DBLE]:
Rule: Creating another account when a a user already has one account on CoDz is not allowed. There is little to no need for a separate account. If you've forgotten your password and need access back to your main account, use the Forgot Password link. Should there be a logical reason outside of forgetting credentials for the double account, contact a staff member immediately with details of the situation..
Consequence: The secondary account created by the original user will be permanently banned given with evidence of double accounts. In addition, the original account held by the user will be temporarily banned as well. Using the secondary account to avoid a suspension/ban on the main account will result in both accounts being permanently banned.
Example: A user creates a double account because they've been banned. If that account matches up the original user and no case has been made to the staff about the reason for the double account, both accounts will be banned after contacting the user.
3. SPAMMING [SPAM]: Spamming is defined as many things, and all of them aren’t allowed. As a CoDz user, you should hold yourself to a high standard and use common sense when posting.
Duplicate Posts -
Rule: Creating a thread that discusses a topic that has already been brought up in another thread is generally frowned upon, as each user is responsible for finding the pre-existing thread and making their remarks there. Cross-posting violations (making more than one post of the same question/answer across multiple forums) is prohibited.
Consequence: The infringing duplicate thread will be either merged (with the original thread), locked, or deleted, depending on the situation. When dealing with two duplicate threads, the staff will sometimes exercise their own personal judgement with regard to the thread’s posts, to avoid conversations being broken up and posts losing their cohesion, as all the comments in both threads are merged and arranged by the date they were posted.
Cross-posting violations will be dealt with by deleting all cross-posted threads. Users are responsible for figuring out the appropriate section in which to post their topic. If you have any trouble you may ask any staff member for advice!
We always welcome PMs from the users!
Example: If two threads are created that both discuss the exact same element of a newly released Zombie Map trailer, they become ‘duplicate posts’, as they consist of identical, or very similar, material. However, if someone makes a thread about, for example, who they think the Pentagon Thief is, and then someone else makes a thread in which they argue that it is actually someone completely different, they would not be breaking the rule.
Moreover, if someone made a thread that came to the same conclusion as the first user’s thread did, it still wouldn’t necessarily break the rule, as long as they brought new evidence to the table (or reevaluated old evidence) while doing so. If they reach the same conclusion, then they will be merged, in which case the older thread will remain, and the newer thread will become a reply to the older post.
Post Pumping -
Rule: Any user that makes a post just to increase their own post count is considered disruptive to the community, and is interfering with the other members’ usage of the CoDz forum.
Consequence: Violations will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis - some users will be warned verbally by PM, others may receive an official warning, and posts/threads may also be deleted (which will make your post count drop again!). Repeat offenders will suffer a Permanent Ban of their account on the forum.
Example: If a user makes a post saying “I agree,” or “We know,” or something similar and they do not further the conversation or productivity of the thread, that would be grounds for deletion of the post. The specific details of post pumping are left for staff to decide case-by-case, as there are a broad range of possibilities, which are quite dependent on the circumstances.
4. FLAMING [FLAME]:
Rule: Posts, signatures, avatars, or PMs that are intended to harass, threaten, embarrass or cause the distress or discomfort to another member of the CoDz Forum Community or any other individual or entity is unacceptable. (For this reason, the emoticon known as “facepalm” has been removed from the forum.)
Consequence: In some cases, warnings may be issued, but flaming is likely to result in Permanent Banning. It is therefore advisable to always be respectful to your fellow members; this does not mean you cannot disagree with someone, but you do not need to tear a person down in order to prove your point, so be careful with sarcasm! The response “I was only joking” will not get you much sympathy.
Example: If a user says to another on the forum that they are stupid, dumb, illogical, incompetent, etc., that is an example of a user tearing another down, and is considered to be ‘flaming’. Even sarcastically saying “Wow, you’re a bright one, aren’t you..” or “Did you figure that out on your own?” would qualify as a form of harassment.
5. OFFENSIVE CONTENT [OFF]:
Rule: Using offensive language in any context is not allowed here at the CoDz Forum. We believe that our intelligent members can make their points and offer their contributions WITHOUT the necessity of vulgarities. Included in this would be racism, sexism, or any other form of discrimination that may end up causing the distress or discomfort of a user or any group in general. Along with offensive language, displaying or linking to offensive content is not allowed at CoDz. Please be sensitive towards others and how they may react to sensitive material.
Consequence: Posts, signatures, or profiles containing offensive language, content, or links will be edited and/or deleted by the Forum Moderators and Warnings will be issued as appropriate. Repeat violations of this policy may result in more severe actions, up to and including Permanent Banning.
Example: You can come up with your own examples for sensitive language, I trust we all have at least a few in our heads, but simply starring out a letter or putting a strike through the word does not excuse its usage, such as f*ck, sh*t, etc. An example of offensive content could be an avatar of the Twin Towers falling with the caption “Burn baby burn!” This is very offensive to many people, and although it may not be so to you, please respect the feelings of other users.
Examples of offensive links include Pornographic, Racial, Defamation, or any other derogatory content. If it does not pass our CoC do not link to it on our site.
6. SIGNATURES [SIG]:
Rule: A user’s signature may only be 5 lines high, 15 pixels high per line and 65 pixels wide per line. A signature must follow all of the above guidelines concerning offensive language and material, and also concerning advertising.
Consequence: If a user creates a signature that violates the above rules, they will first be contacted and asked to change their signature. If they do not comply, someone will change it for them. Particularly horrid offenses will be dealt with by staff in an appropriate manner.
Example: A “good” signature could contain a few links to some threads (as long as they follow previous rules), zombie round numbers, a small image, or something personal, such as a saying or quote. A “bad” signature would contain any annoying “flashy” .GIFs, or any content that would not comply with previous CoC rules.

I literally thought this up in 5 minutes, so don't think I'm too serious on this. However, what if in another universe (the campaign one, which is tied to the Zombies one in minor ways) Nikolai was paid to "look" like someone else. That could be why he looks like Reznov in the map trailer. And maybe Nikolai encountered Mason? Idk, I'm sure it would do with the US trying to best Germany in WW2 though, and perhaps they implanted a device in Mason to hear voices, such as some Germans did. Weasel received this type of treatment early though. Anyways, I doubt this is true, but wanted to get this speculation out before tomorrow, so please shed some thoughts on this little i…

Mr.Robot Theory

I want to share a quick theory with you all During the Apocalypse Trailer we hear that the Robots could be a hazard or give player and advantage. This could possibly mean that those who completed the Maxis portion of the Easter Eggs might get an advantage while those who followed Richtofen will have some hazardous encounters. I see the Robot possibly having the same effect as the lighthouse in Call of The Dead being the source to get Pack-A-Punch. The Robot could pull a George and be really annoying which I hope is not the case. lol We know that the Mark IV Tank while be vital to the Easter Egg due to the enfaces the Developer put on it. The …

So a lot has been divulged already from the simple overview of the next upcoming map pack Apocolypse...but the question I'm curious on is where exactley would the next map Origins fall upon the World Map... Knowing that all of the maps that we have been given so far have all been upon the decrepit earth that we see at the primary zombies menu... Where will origins go as it couldnt possibly be placed directly along with the rest of the dlc maps... Might it be given it's own world map...and if not what questions could be answered upon it being placed amongst the rest of the maps in regareds to it's possible time frame or relevance (if any) to the maps including th…

I wanted to point out that WW1 was the first mechanized war, and because of that there was a lot of fear and speculation about mechanized war machines. War robots of different types were conceived of and even attempted on the battlefield. Here's a remarkable example from a 1917 (!) French illustrator named Adolfe Willette, warning of the dangers of giant hideous human machines: Can anyone find other examples of giant robots concepts/illustrations in WW1? There were even human sized robots on the field, though they turned out to be a misunderstanding/hoax/propaganda. One famous one was Boilerplate: http://danefield.com/alpha/forums/topic/11312-excell…

To me it looks like the new Zombie cyborgs look like a new boss zombie, whether they will be round specific or a Brutus type boss I'm not sure. I'm imagining about 3-4 dropping from the sky then chasing you every 5 rounds. Like Juggernauts... They look like bioshocks Big Daddy... Now onto the issue of the nature of these creatures. I call them a "cyborg" because to me, they look like they are just a floating zombie head melded onto a robot.

So with the new trailer out we've got a pretty good look at the re-design of our beloved O4. I'd like to hear your opinions on the new design, like it? hate it? Here are my opinions: (Click on the images for a larger view) Takeo Masaki In my opinion definitely the best re-design. Takeo looks badass 8-) Nikolai Belinski Rezno-err Nikolai. Nikolai looks alright, much more serious than before. Let's see if that translates well into his script. Tank Dempsey Actually looks a lot more different than I had expected. Nontheless I like Tank's new design. Edward Richtofen Richtofen. Whoah. I can't he…

I would be interested in reading a comic or graphic novel of the whole treyarch zombies storyline. To give us their version, and to tie up some of the more confusing bits. Cuz if this really is the end of zombies, I think it would be a great idea.

Does anyone have proof directly from Treyarch that this refers to the Original 4 story wise and not the guys we played as in W@W on Nacht Der Untoten and Verruckt? I only see people quoting gaming news sites. I checked Treyarch twitter and Facebook. Although I'm on PS3 the Twitter for this website provided the image that revealed the DLC. It has no mention of the four we are talking about. I think everyone is forgetting the ones from World at War here. I also do NOT recall Richtofen being a soldier. Either that or someone could fill me in on that one. ....I think I'm also the only one who seriously can't recognize those 4 soldiers being the O4 at all, even if th…

While I am excited to finally be able to play as our four original heroes in Origins, I am also disappointed. Where are our characters now, after the events of Moon? I do not think that this map marks the end of Zombies, I'm sure that in the next Treyarch game we will continue with Maxis in the aether/Richtofen in Samuels body and maybe we'll finally go to Agartha. It will be the first time experiencing Zombies on the next gen, so I don't think we're quite done here. What I really want to see is our characters (Nikolai, Takeo, Dempsey, Richtofen) continue their journey with Maxis, now in the aether, trying to reach his daughter who is in Richtofens body. On Moon, af…

I'm sure most people have heard of the 'Red Baron', a famous German WW1 fighter pilot, but what you may not be aware of is that his real name was Manfred Albrecht Freiherr von Richthofen!!! Looking into the history of the Red Baron, I'll link the Wikipedia entry at the bottom, he was shot down and killed in aerial combat near Amiens on 21 April 1918. Amiens is in France and the Red Baron died at the time the 'Origins' map is set to take place. Considering the locale and timing of the Red Barons death in relation to the games location (and the Biplane on the 'Origins' reveal trailer) is it conceivable that our beloved Nazi Crackpot is in fact the Red Baron himsel…

Hey guys, Naitrax here with another thread. This one here is explaining why I think that Origins will be the final Zombies map From what we have seen, this map will include many amazing things. For starters, we are getting the O4 back, but not as we expected. This map is a prequel to the series. Lets get into the theory, why don't we? I have a feeling that in this map, we will get some very special achievements. Now, this is all just a theory, but I do believe them to have some credit. Summoning Circle In Origins, summon the power of the gods. Reasons: In the poster, there is what looks to be a circle of stones and an ethereal beam of light (similar…

Hey guys, Nai here with my first ever in-depth map idea! This would be for the upcoming map, Origins, releasing alongside four new Multiplayer maps as part of the Apocalypse DLC for Black Ops 2. LEGGO! The Intro: We see a fighter jet flying through a shower of bullets. Inside the jet, there are four men: our characters (the O4). Richtofen is piloting. "We're hit!" he screams as the plane begins to descend. The camera goes to an outside view. We see many planes, firing bullets at a giant, Metal Man (Automaton). The crew eject from the plane far away from the Metal Man, and they land in a damp swamp. A horde of undead notices and begins to shamble toward them. The…

So here's what I think the general plot for this map is. Takeo, Dempsey, Nikolai and Samantha all want to destroy Group 935, and probably also stop the whole zombie thing. They know that the teleporters can also go through time, so they try and hack one teleporter on the Moon to bring 'em back to when 935 was just starting. Of course, only Sam vaguely knows how they work, and the rest have basically no clue, so this takes a long time. But they finally figured it out, so they went back to said time. Problem is, they were a bit late, 935 had already discovered 115, and they had made that robot that runs off 115 (assumption). Though they weren't originally going to send…

The title basically says it all. Before motd I would have said all the maps would have it. But since motd didn't have the upgrades, I really doubt that origins will have these new features that we have grown to love/hate. These features make me feel like every game counts and will help me in the next game. But im getting off topic here.,.. so what do you guys think. Will there or will there not be any of these three items?

Here's what the press release says for "Origins, our most epic Zombies experience to date." In addition to the four maps, Apocalypse also reveals Origins, the most horrifying and imaginative Zombies experience to date. Players will be deployed to Dieselpunk-stylized World War I-era France where they will encounter the return of the four original heroes from the very first Zombies map, Tank, Nikolai, Takeo, and Rictofen, as well as hordes of zombies that have overrun trenches and fields, as well as the ruins of a mysterious and ancient location. Unleashed after the Germans unearthed the mysterious “Element 115,” this next chapter in the Zombies legacy will explor…

Alright after watching that video (its a snipet from a pretty epic scene in the movie "suckerpunch") someone please tell me that it doesn't look like Treyarch literally took an explicit reference from that movie for the setting and theme of the next zombie map... Trench warfare, zepplins and aerial combat, giant usable mechs, steam punk zombies, and world war era'd theme... Do you feel there's anything we can derive from this or is it simply an eerie exceptionally distinct reference to a movie that may or may not have been intentional... And try to focus on the enviornment, not just the pretty faces haha :D

To everyone whining about this still, please get over it. Treyarch doesn't care about zombies at all really and they're going to do whatever makes them the most money and that's cater to MP and not zombies. Some of you really thought they would make a DLC where not even a quarter of the players would buy it? That would be terrible business for Activision and Treyarch. So please, get over that there is no all zombies DLC and CODz will be a much happier place. I should add in no way am I insulting MP. I play MP from time to time and while I don't enjoy it a whole lot, I know others do. Some of my friends love it. Remember guys don't get upset with each other…

"Unleashed after the Germans unearthed the mysterious “Element 115,” this next chapter in the Zombies legacy will explore the saga’s origins as players reunite with an unlikely band of soldiers that come together to defeat the greatest evil the world has ever seen" This makes me think its the people from world at war, but this also could not be possible, since its in 1917. Either way, this is going to be one of the most insane maps ever, and i hope it isnt the end. -Wings
