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.

Now, I remember there being a thread on this for Buried, and I felt one would be needed for this map. I haven't played Origins too much, so I won't be able to give a ton of info, however, I think it would be great to have a main discussion for all of the cool little things you can do in this map, as well as nifty little bits of info. I'll try to update the OP with everything that is posted every so often. Also, stuff related to the Ending Cutscene will be in a Spoiler. Alright, I'll go first now. 1. You can obtain "Thunderfists" (I don't know the name) if you fill up all 4 soul chests around the map. 2. You can get inside of a robot, by shooting the yellow circle o…

Before I begin, I want to say that this is in no way affiliated with AlphaSnake's thread, "Who is Samantha?". Any similarities are purely coincidental. The Ancient Evil. The thing that caused the events of Origins. Imprisoned within the Mound. First mentioned in Richtofen's final Journal Entry: But what is this Ancient Evil? The answer is simple, yet complex. Samantha. How? Easily: When the mound was discovered, something was unleashed which ravaged the German camp and caused Maxis to become sick. This something (Samantha) chipped away at people's consciences and broke down their mental walls. From there, she broke them …

The o4 died in buried but someone wanted to have fun and sent them to their own hell. The vials from the trailer could prove this as well as the whole eyes being different and I mean who wants to live through that shit agin and again? Unless their in a vicious cycle. Which is why its a "prequal"

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…

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…

In the trailer, we all noticed how Treyarch misspelled Nikolai's last name. But now, this comes in forms of the letters. Not a spelling error though, a legitimate historical inaccuracy. We were all impressed with them using real life battles from World War I, but I noticed something. The Battle of Belleau Wood really did happen, and some people think the term Devil Dog really did come from that battle. However, a newspaper used the term before the battle ever happened, and it was published on none other than April 14, 1918. Cool, huh? Not really, because the battle didn't occur until June 1 and Dempsey is describing the combat on April 14, two weeks prior to t…

I was playing Origins solo as Dempsey. I hit the box a few times and after awhile I got the ray gun. As I picked it up out of the box, Dempsey said the following quote: "This looks familiar. I think I saw it in a comic book somewhere". This stood out to me like a sore thumb. I did my research and found a comic book author and cover artist by the name of L.B. Cole who created his interesting comics in the 1940s-50s. He's known for using such bright and vivid colors in his covers, but that's not what I'm interested in. I was reading the wiki for him and found this: "As an avid science fiction fan, Cole was known for slipping in sci-fi elements even when they weren't appropr…

I don't usually complain about Randoms but wow! Legitimately, I have not had one Origins game in Public without someone leaving. Makes me lose faith in them. I would block them, but I'm not sure if that would actually stop them appearing in Public matches. But yeah, I feel like messaging every single one of them "Maybe you wouldn't go down if you actually stayed and learned to play the map. By far I feel like this is the worst map with randoms, overtaking Moon and Shangri-La.

Besides being stepped on (happens to me frequently) but right now I'm mega pissed at how I just died in Origins. Basically I was playing with some good players, they eventually have to leave, it's only 20 something. Well they filled up those chest's and I wanted to get that "one inch punch". I got it, and right as Dempsey says "Oh I'm packing a punch all right" I got swarmed DX Please someone give something else worse that that. That's just embarrassing......

Treyarch OFFICIALLY states Nacht Der Untoten is the 2nd zombie outbreak Placing Origins as the first as the name suggests Samantha mentions Maxis having a plan and i draw everyones attention to something people seem to have forgot Der Riese description "This is where it all began. This is where the MASTER PLAN took shape. Is this where it all ends?" Referring back to the plan. This alone links it altogether, I have been into the Zombie Story since W@W release and strongly believe Treyarch have a plan themselves and always have, Treyarch give us the clues and alwAys give us riddles, origins is one such riddle Do NOT lose faith in Treyarch as t…

After watching the pre-release gameplay footage, I noticed that Origins' loading screen is not a comic book page. I was confused at first but, I think I know why Treyarch made this choice. Origins' loading screen isn't a comic book page... because it is the cover for the comic book! We have been told Origins is the beginning of Zombies. Well it literarily is. Although it wouldn't explain MOTD's placement in the comic book as it should be next. But yet, MOTD takes place outside of time and space. So I can assume its placement in the comic book is not as crucial as Origins.

I just want to clear something up about what is going on in Origins. Origins IS set in an alternate reality. Treyarch have 100000% confirmed that. Look here: That can be found right here, ON THE BLACK OPS 2 WEBSITE: http://www.callofduty.com/blackops2/dlc/dlc4-apocalypse Why is this important? Because this is the explanation to the age argument. In this reality, events have played out differently to the one we are used to. The Element was discovered much earlier, and the characters were born earlier. Some (or none) of our Zombies maps will not occur in this reality. Just wanted to clear that up.

Generally I have a large understanding of the Zombies story but I for one, am completely bamboozled about this "Impossible Age" thing circulating. That Maxis and The O4 would be too old for the next maps. Maxis I sort of understand, but couldn't he have been near his end before he was Teleported by Ed in the first place? and that the 04 just hadn't aged well since? Someone really needs to help me here.

After playing TranZit and Die Rise countless times since BO2 is backwards capable, today I decided to play Origins again. And one of the first things that I immediately noticed, was the strange sky in Origins. I think everyone here knows what I am talking about. That bizarre portal-like thing. And don't forget the lighting all over the place, just like in Zetsubou No Shima. It's like this universe is falling apart, or consumed, or whatever. It looks just like most BO3 maps. But the thing is: Origins takes place BEFORE the Apothicans are released. Before the multiverse begins to break apart and bleed into each other. This is why I think this "Aurora Borealis" is …

In Black Ops 1, when PS3 and PC got Moon, Xbox got an update adding Mule Kick to all of the previous maps. What if when PS3 and PC get Origins, Der Wunderfizz will be added to TranZit, (maybe) Nuketown, Die Rise, MotD, and Buried? That way, PhD, EC, and MK will be available in all previous maps!

Just recently i read a theory that suggested the whole story line has just been a dream, upon reading this (and being a hardcore fan since CoDWaW and a huge fan of the Original 4 Characters) I thought i would put a theory up on here, this one is based from one i put up on youtube a while back. Introduction... So the base idea of this theory is that the ending cutscene is a look at whats its like to be the demonic announcer, so this in the cutscene is what it looks like from the view of the aether. As you can see a prop from near enough every zombies map his here, this is also how the person in control is decided (Orange, Red, Blue, ect) Richtofen & S…

At about round 4 you hear Samantha say something along the lines of "I'm trapped here" and at about round 7 "you need to open the gateway". If you work with maxis all the way he reveals he wants to open the gateway to Agartha to free Samantha. Could this be the Easter egg, freeing Samantha from Agartha? May be far fetched, but this could possibly mean time travel, explaining how Samantha got there in the first place. Any thoughts?
