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.

Hello guys , another thing I noticed in the preview is the time of day/natural occurrences. So all through out the preview of the Shangri-La we can see that it is all within the day/sunlight. However at the end there is a clip of a monkey sat on a ledge, noticeably there is an eclipse/night period. Check out the pictures below...you can easily see a change. So could there be a new round of enemies which change the environment? It can't be the monkeys because there is also a clip of them and it is in sunlight.

ok now all this is just an idea, but, it does make some sort of sense if you bear with me, this all due to great research from member nayarc, and info taken from my own thread on another site. Now why tunguska? easy enough, out of all the areas named to have Element 115 locations, the 2 (well 3) that are left are Tunguska Area 51 (Groom lake) and the moon (which i believe is Ascensions link so i disregard moon for now. now why Tunguska? well, apart from the fact that Tunguska is extremely close to Where the team are in COTD? and for the fact its a not yet played map? well theres more. alot of people are saying that the loading screen plant is a jun…

My vote is if the four characters are there, yeah, it will. Hopefully, anyway :| The four characters have had an Elena song tied to them as long with HEAPS of info on the story (besides Ascension, didn't give us too much to run on).

I left the ray gun out because it is obviously going to be in there. I think we might get some variation of the VR-11 because it probably has something to do with the story and then a new wonder weapon, and i hope we get monkey grenade back. I left it at 3 because that seems to be the limit. Ascension 2 grenades 1 weapon. COTD 2 Weapons 1 grenade

If you look at 2:47, with the monkey on the ruins during the eclipse, look behind him. There's some sort of white object shooting across the sky in a thin white line, if you blink you'll miss it. What could that be? Also to the left you can see the mystery box light

I was looking at the leaked Map Pack 3 poster and I looked at the maps. When I got to the zombies one, I immediately recognized the shape shown: it appears to be a NÄ�ga, a race/species/deity from Buddhist mythology/religion. They are similar to the Lung, also known as "Chinese Dragons." So this points to the map being in an Asian country, like India. Proofs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N%C4%81ga Dug up some more links of a subject I thought appropriate; the Naga Fireballs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naga_fireballs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoilmoRH ... re=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qm64JhA_EZc http://www.youtube.com/wa…

Found this about the real Shangri-La and the Nazi's.... quite interesting. "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." This goes along with what we know about the other maps that involved Nazi exploration. Ernest Schafer --- Ernst Schäfer (1910, Cologne – 1992) was a famous German hunter and zoologist in the 1930s, specializing in ornithology. [edit] Biography Schäfer is most famous for his three expeditions to Tibet in 1931, in 1934–1935, and in 1938–1939. The first two expe…

Sorry if this has been posted already but I found a quick little piece of information that might help as to why Shnagri-La is indeed paradise... "Shangri-La is a fictional place described in the 1933 novel Lost Horizon by British author James Hilton. In the book, "Shangri-La" is a mystical, harmonious valley, gently guided from a lamasery, enclosed in the western end of the Kunlun Mountains. Shangri-La has become synonymous with any earthly paradise but particularly a mythical Himalayan utopia — a permanently happy land, isolated from the outside world. In the novel Lost Horizon, the people who live at Shangri-La are almost immortal, living years beyond the normal li…

As soon as I heard that was the name I researched Shangri-La right away, this is what I found. Shangri-La is a place described in a book titled Lost Horizon published in 1933. It is described as a permanently happy land. (I dont really think it will be this time) It is supposed to be isolated. (Aether maybe?) The people that lived there were near immortal. La usually means mountain so the map maybe set on a mountain. Update: The nazis had expeditions around the Himalayas and Everest to find Shangri-La. Thats all I have so far feel free to reply if you have anything to add to the post or if you are just feeling sad.

I dont know if any of you are familiar with the Uncharted series, but at the end of Uncharted 2, they go to a place called Shangri-la, also known as Shambala. It is basiaclly a paridise hidden in the Himalayas, and if Zombies are going there, it'll be awesome. Look it up, it's just a giant ancients city with ruines, lush plants and trees, and huge mountains going up the side of the valley.

Telixion tweeted earlier something along the lines of "I love the song beauty of ANNIHILATION. Hmm i capilized that. All will be explained tomorow." Now more leaked pics of the map pack have come out later on after he said that and it is revealed that it is called Annihilation. Now he said we would find out tomorrow so these LEAKED pictures cannot mean anything. I am expecting a map pack confirmation tomorrow. Also the release date is set for the 28th of June 2011.

Possibly some people are overlooking this. Since der riese, we have had the theater and lighthouse zombie map. The only one left is the Parisian map with the Eiffel Tower. Those ferns from the CoTD loading screen, could be the next map. But there could be ferns in Paris right? Isnt Paris a city with lots of plants anyway? I dont know, but im just chucking out different theories for discussion

There has always been debate as far as whether or not Treyarch listens to the community here at CoDz. Well now that Map Pack 3 is coming up fast this month, I can say with confidence that yes, Treyarch is extremely dedicated to its community. A few months ago WhenWhereWhy posted a thread asking you to begin writing out your ideas for a Black Ops map pack, and it appears that they have taken our ideas to heart. viewtopic.php?f=53&t=6801&hilit=the+final+mother Two examples of this are the upcoming maps Silo and Hazard. Silo appears to be taken from my idea Epicenter! The same goes for hazard, which seems close to my idea of scorched (IE NVA town is floode…

3 full zombie maps within 7 months??? However, the game was in development for 2 years, and we only received 1.5 zombie maps out of the disc (Five was copied straight from Story, so it doesn't really count). Also, Kino was supposed to be a WAW map, and was completed before MW2 came out. So, all of the Black Ops Zombie maps are DLC...... And all were very likely completed in 2010. Pretty bs if you ask me. Got nothing against Treyarch, however. Great game developers, and I'm looking forward to playing their next zombie map. It's this new trend on Publishers making the developers hold shit back for DLC that I don't like.
