Treyarch
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.

Just recently I had joined a questioning party on PlayStation with Jason Blundell, head of the zombies team, and I asked him a slew of very odd but revealing questions. One such question was: "When was the presence of the Keepers first sighted?" And Who gave us the First Ray Gun? I got some very odd responses. Such as: "They give us the first ray gun on the Campaign mission in World At War "Little Resistance", they are the ones speaking the mysterious language."And the shadow man has apparently escaped the summoning key as well... Thoughts?

Now the Maps are pretty uch going to be Standard COD style ranging from many different parts of the world as well as a few government chipping locations. Dynamic maps are a step forward and changing weather will make each map feel unique each time you play it. Sometimes there will be a downpour while other times the map will be sunny. Maps will also cycle between Night and Day so if you decide to replay the same map 5 times in a row it won't feel as repetitive. I think it would be good if the Map had a similar mechanic to Ghosts which is that Special Map exclusive Killstreaks allow you to manipulate the Map such as causing a Flood, Calling in a Bioweapon, or causing a Vol…

I'm looking for 3 german speaking people to play all Zombie maps from WaW to BOCW with all main (and possible all side) easter eggs. Does anyone else exist that likes to do that? Btw I don't know all easter eggs of the older maps myself. I would be down to try and find out ourself, but I'm fine with checking on youtube too. I just wanna play the complete Zombie story for once.

Many people have seen my zombies idea for the next trayarch game, so, working a bit outside my own relative field here, Ive decided to extend to a Campaign mode too. As well as a new multilayer storyline as well. Likewise I should mention this story allows for the ability of Co-Op controls, where players are free to choose any character at will, with up to three friends. If another character isn't available, the remaining players will be assigned control of a rouge AI solder Ok so this story revolves around four different playable individuals: Rita Klark - British Ops Victor Weston- Japaneese Ops Sene Hawland- German Ops Captain Foss- American Ops Each of thes…

Broke away from Activision and made a standalone Survival Horror game? Obviously this wouldn't happen due to all the money they make with the Call of Duty franchise, but just food for thought. Now don't hate, but no zombies or over the top action. I want a subtle game with a shitload of atmosphere, reminiscent of Amnesia. Think about it... they can nail atmosphere like no other, I mean Verruckt still gives me chills when I play. Ever stop killing zombies in any map and lose yourself in the ambience? Scary stuff. Theyre also incredible with making creep setpieces. Hmm, posting in a reletively dead section, but would love to get feedback regardless.

I would love to see a new Treyarch COD totally devoted to Zombies. How about something like "Call of Duty; Zombie Apocalypse" The year 2025 could even be used. I would love it! :idea:

As a fallow up to my previous MP Idea from a few months ago, here's the multiplayer DLC portion of it, zombies not included. DLC 1: Deathwish- New weapon: The bow: A simplistic weapon, but innovative. One must charge their shot with holding RT for range. They can also change the type of arrow from normal, to explosive, to galvanized, to smoke. New maps: Beast: On a stormy night in the eastern seas, an American air-carrier is boarded by Japanese soldiers... And a beast from the depths of the ocean... Planes and boats allowed in this map. The ? Will call forth the beast from beneath to have it's kraken-tentacles slam any nearby soldiers. After its be…
