Shangri-La
A legendary shrine lost in an exotic jungle. Where the undead lurk within a treacherous labyrinth of underground caverns, deadly traps and dark secrets.
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 dunno about anybody else, but I'm excited traps are making a comeback. Not only the new ones, but old electric ones possibly? A screenshot with what looks like a power box circled. BTW, Bamboo trap looks to be a possible new favorite The only thing I hope they change (but am sure they won't) is getting at the very least the kill count for zombies killed with traps. That's the main reason I don't usually use them when I play. No points, no kill credit. Next, could we see our first female Zombies in this map? New evil looking monkey as well as the Eclipse that could be like the new dogs, every 5 rounds or so? PA…

Just getting amped up over the new map here and curious to what we'll find on it. Got me thinking about possibilities of a new Melee weapon. The sickle was cool and made sense for Ascension and CotD, but I think it's time for something new. What do you guys think we'll find? Personally I don't think a Sickle would make much sense in some Jungle Temple, but then again Zombies in a Jungle Temple doesn't make much sense either haha

I'm sorry if there's threads discussing this, but I figured we needed a thread discussing why Shangri-La is Area 51. Firing Range: There is a teddy bear hidden in this multiplayer map + if you get a sniper and zoom outside the map you will notice a sign that says "welcome to hell". This is the only map that has a bear in it, and it's similar to a desert setting, much like Area 51 Nevada. Ascension Documents: Take a sniper and zoom in on the papers on the cork board in Ascension, especially in the juggernog room. You will notice on the wall there are papers that are just blurred squiggly lines, however, there are also papers that are written out. Someone must …

Just a machine like PaP, but it asks what you want. For example: Press A for Ammo 1000 Press B for Mystery Perk 2000 Press X for Zombie Repellant 3500 Press Y for Attatchment options From Attatchments: Press A for Reflex Sight 2000 Press B for Red Dot Sight 2000 Press X for Extended Mags 2500 Press Y for Dual Mags 1500 Just A thought, zombie repellant is activated by the down button on the D-Pad and only lasts temporarily, you lose it if you get downed. Just my two cents.

Sorry if someone else has posted this but... what about the start on shangri-la (sorry if spelled wrong), any theories? all that i know is that Kino and Ascension had just an image for the start. But Five and CoTD had video sequences, also on Kino you know that the crew was teleported there because of the lightning flashing on your screen. But maybe there is a very small cinematic like on ascension (when you land on the lunar lander) explaining how the crew got there (by the way i never played W@W so i don't know the start to them).......so back on topic, Any theories. :?: :?:

Alright guys here is the quote from Treyarch "Zombies return with vengeance in the mysterious land of "Shangri-La," a legendary shrine lost in an exotic jungle. Never before seen undead creatures lurk within a treacherous labyrinth of underground caverns. Step carefully through deadly traps and solve the dark secrets buried within the shifting walls of a long last land." What interests me is the "dark secrets within the shifting walls." SO! The new Easter Egg or something huge to the story will be behind some shifting walls! so excited!

If you check out the picture for dead ops in the lobby it shows our crashed soviet rocket from Ascension. Mr cosmic is rocking a mean little get up consisting of a spacesuit. When you die on dead ops you go to the platforms, which are stationed in front of a old looking structure resembling a lot of the structures seen in the trailer for MP3. Do you think we finally get to meet him?

I noticed this the first time I saw the Annihilation video. Go to 2:47 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxX1v3bjXak You see this streak of light go across the sky. My thoughts are that the light is the crew. When you send them off in COTD, they go through the teleporter and travel to Shangri La.(NO BRAINIER) I could see this as a beginning cut-scene, showing them flying in and explaining why they are there. Please let me know what your guys theories are. :D

So Shangri la is coming out on 28th June for the Xbox. What about the PS3? Will it be released at a later date than the xbox, like CotD? Personally i hope it's not 28th June as CotD has only just been released for the PS3!

"One of such places is mentioned to be situated somewhere in the Makalu-Barun region where a new element was believed to have been discovered in 1945 by a doctor who passed away a week later without his body to be found anywhere all that was left was a small teddy bear." - Wikipedia page for Shangri-La ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shangri-La ) This make Shangri-La a good candidate for a Zombies map? I think so... Also saw this: "The Nazis had an enthusiasm for Shangri-La, where they hoped to find an ancient master race, similar to the Nordic race, unspoiled by Buddhism. They sent one expedition to Tibet, led by Ernst Schäfer in 1938." I will update i…

Alright, I see people everywhere saying give us the AK47! Then I see people countering with why? What good is yet another assault riffle? So here's your chance, do you want it or not? And why do you think it would be benificial or harmful to zombies? My opinion is why not throw it in? I don't see it being worlds better than any other assault riffle we already have, but I don't see it being any worse, either. The clips aren't any bigger, I can't imagine the damage being any higher, or anything else like that. It would be cool to have but nothing game changing. Personally I'd rather see the M60 or something like that. Maybe even a more effective shot gun. Just my 2 cen…

I'm sure that all of you reading this thread have already seen the Preview to Annihilation and have seen the zombie map scene. At the end of that scene (at 2:41) you see that zombie that seems to be lit on fire, does anyone think that it's possible that this new 'class' of zombie could be the equivalent to the Scientist round from Five? Or just a new kind 'monkey round' or dog round?
