General discussion in regards to Black Ops 3.
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.

Is anyone else disappointed in the graphics shown thus far in gameplay clips (zomibes or multiplayer)? They just don't seem to be much more improved over last gen consoles. To me the jump from WaW (360) to BO2 (One) is way bigger than BO2 (360) to BO3 (One). Here's 1080p (though 30fps) gameplay of BO3 multiplayer. https://youtu.be/5ociYeI-cEE?t=44s And while the one in game screenshot of Richtofen in The Giant looked good, the gameplay of Shadows of Evil didn't seem that much improved. Maybe we'll just have to wait to see it in action on our own consoles/PC to judge, but so far I'm not impressed.

Everyone hated how in BO1, if the host quit, the game ended. In BO2, they gave us host migration - praise the lord - but if someone other than the host left the game, leaderboards no longer counted. I would've assumed for BO3, they'd have done the best of both- have host migration, but people leaving didn't affect the leaderboard - well looks like they've just reverted back to BO1. If the host quits the game just ends (without a message even saying host ended game).

So, many of you will remember supply drops from advanced warfare. You typically got one, maybe 2, each game, and at the end of the match you'd be rewarded with 3 random items ranging from clothes to hidden weapons. You also had a legendary supply drop awarded to you upon reaching certain levels. Items you already had could be exchanged for XP. In BO3 we have a similar system where each game we earn 2-3 cryptokeys and can trade 10 of them in for 3 items ranging from calling cards to hidden weapons. Or, you can wait, collect 30 cryptokeys, then get a special crate of somewhat "better" items. You can burn duplicates as well. Here's t…

Once Der RIese was released for World at War character bios were added for Demsey, Nikolai, Takeo and Richtofen. Now with the addition of Origins and generally much more information about the characters, these bios seem pretty inconsistent, e.g. Richtofen was known as the butcher during WW2, and that Nikolai played a big part in Russian politics. Are the characters meant to go through world war one and two, and then encounter the zombies, but some kind of intervention forced an alternate timeline in which Tank, Takeo and Nikolai hunted down Richtofen in Northern France in WW1? Just generally a bit confused on the origins of the storyline at this point. Radios on W…

As we know, Treyarch has been streaming interviews every Fridays this month. This week is the third episode. Sidenote: This Friday they MAY talk a bit about zombies. If you wish to tune in its up on Call of Duty's youtube channel by Friday afternoon. I doubt there will be any huge spoilers. The first two episodes have been mostly just technical talk and q&a with a few devs. They have mentioned stuff like how improvements are being made to multiplayer spawn systems and AI, what has changed since the beta and they've showcased the new specialist and MP map. They've also shared their insight and stories about how they got their inspirations and how they set up maps for t…

This is the second time I've redownloaded and reinstalled the game. Is it just me? How do I fix this? All my graphics are already at the base they can be. The picture in the top left of the first screencap is a friend of mine spilling a milkshake. Just so we are all in the clear that I'm a socially adjusted individual.

We can only imagine the many ways chcknshyte individuals can manage to get ahold of pre-release copies of sensational games, and at the very base of that predicament is the fact that the only way to access it without going straight up hacker-cracker on the publisher's data center is if physical copies of the game are created. (Holy toledo...if I was in management at Activ, I would be LIVID, ready to go on a headhunt to narrow down whether it was an inside or distro leak. I'd probably be hated by PR.) So the obvious solution is to switch to digital only, right? Access is provided only when the publisher's distribution center verifies your identity. However, if you're l…

Okay, heres a short breakdown of the very first CoDZ comic. I haven't talked or discussed about it with anyone, nor have I read it myself. I have only seen MrRoffleWaffles's video. I self really like it, both the story as the style it is written and drawed. It still leaves some open gaps for theorists, unlike I previously thought. Here we go: Spoiler In the first page of the comic book, it is said by the sane Origins Richthofen that many worlds are broken, because of his own selfish agenda. The story zooms in on four specific survivors: Misty, Marlton, Russman and Stulinger, all in an unknown American town. While Marlton is sitting in some kind o…

With the latest news of "panic knifing" being removed from the game after SO long, I began to wonder: How will knifing work? Well supposedly, knifing now stuns the enemy with small amounts of damage from a weapon smash to the face. That's really cool, but won't kill the average player. Now many people are upset about this, and I have to say this: There are 2 solutions A knife being a weapon, which will take up a weapons slot and kill the player one stab. Or: The return of the bayonet attachment: Slap that on and you get melee-kills from weapon bashes. Of course, it takes up an attachment slot... Your thoughts?

With the impending release I'm sure many of you, like me, will skip the campaign and the multiplayer mode (at least initially) to jump straight into the warm and cozy world of zombies. So my question is this: What is most important on Day 1 to you? Some people will spend the formative hours learning the map, surfing for partners, and exploring the ever-evolving storyline we all know and love. Some will attempt to plow ahead and jump to an early leaderboard advantage, counting on discovering the intricacies of each map as they go. So what's your style? Slow and steady, and fast and furious?

Ok, so the achievements recently released, CONFIRMS that there's a new DOA, SO, what do you think? Will it be a 3rd person shooter? A 2d shooter? Or would it be more like doom? Will there be bosses other then the cosmic silverback? Guns? Drops? Gems? What do you think?

In buried, after completing the easter egg for maxis's side, we get to hear what richtofen knows about samantha, which is still cryptic. It describes how samantha is likely dead, but more importantly, is trapped within the body of richtofen. Now I'm just spitballing here... But what if the richtofen in the giant's opening, the old one... Is samantha from moon... It would explain a lot. Why she's gone quiet, why there's crying in the furnace... If samantha was controlling richtofen in that body, or was linked to it. She's just lost her last conduit to the human world, similar to gersh. It'd be a compelling act but look at …

I will preface this by saying that, yes, I do know that there is a topic for discussing the ending, and I have commented my brief thoughts there. I wanted to talk a bit more about this and some more that could be considered quite off-topic in that topic. I love Zombies. I have since the first time I played Kino der Toten, years ago. And I really care about the Zombies community. It is full of entertaining, intelligent, resourceful people that all share a common interest in Zombies. But this ending, no, the entirety of Blundell's story, from Mob of the Dead to Revelations, has caused one major issue that absolutely needs to be resolved. And no, I am not suggesting that…

Obviously, this is going to have some major spoilers for the campaign. If you haven't finished the campaign and want to finish it, I'd avoid reading this thread. If you aren't really into the campaign and can't find a reason to like it, I WOULD advise reading this thread - as it may intrigue you. This is a three parter. If you are familiar with the campaign, you can skip to Section 2. If you played the campaign but didn't real pay attention or get it, I'd recommend brushing up with Section 1. Obviously if you have no idea what Corvus is (and want to know) then you know what to do. Section 1: Who's Corvus? - an in depth look at what the AI is…

Hello everyone! Zombie slayers, as the clock moves ever towards the release date of Black ops 3, I think it would be a good time to compile a list of tricks and tips on how to properly do easter eggs. This guide is meant to help new players with tips from some veterans who have been die hard since the days of W@W. I see many new faces around here and no doubt, in time, they will make valuable allies, if not already, in the fight to finish the easter eggs. Here are some of the best tips i've heard including my own: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1. Always have a good team. I know it sounds so trivial, but you would be surprised as to how important this is. Try to pick …

The title of this thread depicts the exact way the XP system will effect the game. SO, how will the XP system effect the game specifically? Personally, I think it rewards you will certain customizable items: -A different starting pistol for instance. But others have begun to theorize a LOT of different things: -Different effects of the sword in SOE. -Different/more guns in the box. -Different/more perks in the wonderfizz. -Different/more gum balls in the Monty's Gum machine. -Different starting location in the SOE map. -Survival/Gamemode maps open up. What do you think will be effected by the ranking system? REMEMBER: It can't be TOO OP. But it…

Near the pack-a-punch area on shadows of evil is a special material of wall, that unlike every other wall in the game, lets you run on it. I personally love the wall running idea, although I've yet to experience it. I feel like as long as it's RESTRICTED to certain special walls, it's really fun. It's kind of useless in SOE though.... A different map could utilize it much better. And now on to point 2: Could we see underwater zombies? Personally I'd love to see it, imagine the implementations on custom games come march! We could see a Leviathan remake with actual swimming! The main issue with us not s…

So as we know the Dr Monty thing was released and we know he is a person but thats not why i made this topic i made this topic to talk about the most important thing he said in my mind in the segment the line i am referring to is this one "You Changed the rules" that has been bothering me ever since i first watched a reaction by Mrrolfwaffles(Damn me to hell if i spelled it wrong) and i just wonder, Did Monty actually have rules set up for this whole thing from the start of the zombies mode? Did he have rules set up for the origins crew?

Campaign would be nice to, but lets be honest. Everybody only cares about zombies. With less than 3 weeks away we really don't know much about the new map, the boss zombie, the announcer, weapons and their statistics, etc. They really need to give us something to watch over and over until the 6th :( I'm not to excited about The Giant since that's basically Der Reise with the same characters. Probably with BO3 guns. Yawn. But Shadows of Evil should be something worth waiting 3 years for no?
