For those who wish to talk and discuss, or speculate, their ideas for upcoming Zombies maps.
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.

The Ludvig Maxis Technique
by Guest- 1 reply

A famous novel written in 1962 written by William Heinemann known as 'A Clockwork Orange' is a story set in a near dystopian future where society is full of extreme youth violence. The protagonist, Alex who is a teenager is reformed in the novel and talks about his experiences. One method of reforming him was known as the Ludovico technique. The Ludovico technique is a form of aversion therapy. The therapy involves making the patient watch violent images for long periods of time, while being forced to have their eyes open via a specula. Also, they were given drugs to induce nausea, paralysis and fear. Eventually, the patients would experience severe nausea when causin…

I'd like to see Treyarch surprise us with a secret map pack with only zombies. But, alas, it's not very likely. What do you think is the next step for Treyarch? Another CoD game with zombies? Or the stand alone we've been hoping for?

Make your imaginations grow wild with something new that hasn't been done yet. Put your creations in the box and think outside of it. We've had swamps, indoors, outdoors, snow, jungle, space and lava. We've had small, medium, large and tall. We've had a wide range of boss waves. And crazy-intricate Easter Eggs with clues of a story that we as a community have found through the passing years. Rules and Guidelines: No criticisms! It's a huge brain storming process to create the perfect map. Let's keep it clean. No need for trash talk. So, Name of Map: Its back story: Indoors/Outdoors/Both environment: (Rain, Sleet, Snow, Lava) Perks plus 1 new: New …

This post is probably going to be looong, so please bear with me. Timezone: Same as moon, but time travel is also included (for the easter egg) Where: An Ancient Egyptian pyramid. Zombies: Mummy zombies! Who: This is the interesting part, I have an idea for a totally new group, for now, I'll call them 'GWCC group'. A little bit of background story for them. The group are part of an Allies secret service group. The four characters are: Dr. Gavrel Grunwald- a slightly loopy Jewish scientist. Seems to know far too much about everything(scientific and esoteric) and always has a strange air of deja vu about him. Vincent Walker- a British secret …

We all know extinction stole a lot from zombies. Things like "schematics" which is just a BS way of saying Buildables, the special acid gun like the acid gat, the way to change that into different elements, search piles similar to dig sites, even the whole idea of surviving from a different species other than human I consider a copy. However, I am not here to tell you about what extinction copied, I'm going to tell you how zombies can "modify" some of extinctions ideas to make zombies even better! The Armory- zombies can use this idea but make it like the origins reward system where you can do various challenges like 3000 headshots or 30 grenade kills before a certain…

The Editor, A friend of mine and myself made a Zombies map idea. When we were discussing it, we both decided that I would provide some story elements to his discussion, with his own story elements in it as well. Meaning, I don't agree on everything he says in the video- especially the Orgones part. But it really did turn out to be a good map idea. Fairly simple actually if you think about it. It was made last year and didn't come around to thinking of sharing it with you guys until this morning. This idea takes place in year 2459, humanity is nearing extinction with the dead stalking their nights. Some people are set to the Cocoons; blocking off their knowledge of wh…

"Lullaby For A Dead Man" Green lyrics = Edward Richtofen Yellow lyrics = Takeo Masaki Blue Lyrics = Nikolai Belinski White Lyrics = Tank Dempsey Grey Lyrics = alltogether Red Lyrics = My assertions Life is still spinning Your end, my beginning The above lyrics are meant to say "In order to create, one must first destroy. I have destroyed you, and now, I can begin." At least in one sense, this may have to do with the 2.0 characters killing the 1.0 characters, then catching up in age, expecting to die... but not dying. The fact that this song is set in Verrukt is no accident, either. Dempsey was driven insane by the events of the As…

Cuba doesn't seem to be the centre of much attention, as there is obviously hardly any evidence for it. This is a tiny scrap of evidence for a map on cuba: http://www.che-lives.com/home/modules.p ... fullsize=1 The book that the Cuban Revolutionary (and riend of Fidel Castro) Che Guevara is reading is by Goethe, the author of Faust, which is a poster you may remember from Kino. As i say, it is just a tiny little association in the game. As Che probably read hundreds of books. I just so happened to pick up on this particular photo. Probably just another huge coincidence like my 'MANHATTAN DOWN!' Spin off theory.

Everybody knows about the coordinates on the note in Shadows of Evil. Here are some views from it that I believe easily solve where we are going this DLC season. Note DLC 2 and DLC 3 are interchangeable at this point. DLC 0: The Giant: Coordinates were near the location of the Der Riese facility. Centralized Character: Edward Richtofen (Origins Group) Mission Aim: Kill Edward Richtofen (The Giant) DLC 1: Der Eisendrache: Coordinates were near the location of Hohenwerfen Castle. Centralized Character: Tank Dempsey (Origins Group) Mission Aim: Kill Tank Dempsey (Test Subject) Evid…

First of all, if you have time, PLEASE watch this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4Gotl9vRGs It takes only 11 minutes and that guy explains everything so good. You will notice that after watching that video you will look entirely different to the world around you. If you want a short summary, here it is. And watch out, it takes us beyond the physical and imaginable. Try to be sweet to your brain and stop reading if you cant handle it anymore: So let us start with the 0th dimension. This is really nothing else than a dot. Well, actually even less than that, since a dot has a width and a length, while the dot has not. It is really nothing more …

A machine called perk-a-punch, simply would have the same use as the pack-a-punch, but with your perks(you don't say)....the juggernog for exemple....would let you take more hits...some perks would be very overpowered, but anyways....what do you guys think?

This is how you release a stand-alone zombie game base on alternate game modes of previous games. New story content. Add more old content, animations, weapons. Update graphics. Support loyalty. Add characters. Let you pick who you want to play as. Customize weapons, loadout, difficulty. Remaster everything. http://store.steampowered.com/app/301640/ I'm going to buy this to tide me over. I never played it because I didn't want the standard sniper gameplay. But this I can get into.

This started as an idea that I tossed out in passing, but the more I think about it the more it seems to make sense. Anyway, this would most likely pertain to the 3rd or 4th DLC, as the third and final spire will most likely be completed in the next one. Firstly, I'm adopting the name of this thread from Portal, so read up if you don't get it. The name is REALLY important for the theory. Let's consider this possibility: maxis is powering up spires in order to generate enough energy (like richtofen did with the Vril device) to perform a MPD soul-swap. As you know this required the power of over one hundred souls and several unique artifacts, which …

For the next two dlcs, we have very little idea about whats to come.... I just want to hear everyone's ideas... Example: Map pack 3: Four Multiplayer maps (of course), one reskinned from a previous game... No new weapon (that was a 1 time only thng) Zombie maps: Takes place with the N4 in Paris, the Eiffle tower ends up being the final spire... Then depending on who you fallowed, maxis or richtofen, unlocks a new map... (Maybe the same WAW map, but doing one unlocks greif and the other unlocks turned modes...) Other: New camos after Pc and Ps3 release... Map pack four: No new multiplayer maps No new weapon Zombies maps…

Honestly, there are a bunch for me. One, I'm almost sure will come at some point. Combining Weapons. I can see the DLC/game trailer already. Vonderhaar going on and on about how it's the next big thing. Of course, the upgraded weapons will have to have drawbacks, but it'd be real cool. Imagine it, mixing an AN-94 with a Sliquifier, shooting quick glibs of bits of goo (smaller, to make up for the new-found fast speed). Or, a Blundergat (no acid) with the Wunderwaffe. I can just imagine the electricity coming off the barrel. More Acid-Gat Kit type of upgrades. What I mean by this, is what if you could upgrade much, much more weapons with devices other than the P…

The topic of Buildables is a very touchy subject. Many many people don't like them because of the fact that they can be too OP, worthless, or just too tedious to get. I will tell you how they can vastly improve if they return in the next zombie installment. Step 1:The Formula-Mob of the Dead and Origins did great with the formula but how would it work with maps like Buried you ask? I will tell you how. Each Buildable is in the select menu with the name but only one square below it. When you have no parts for the Buildables the square shows a dull picture of the Buildable. When you find a part for let's say the zombie shield, you pick it up and when picked up, you go t…

Based on mockings post, i'm rolling with it. You get the jist of it, list new buildable ideas along with their functions in detail and their ingredients. Here are a few of mine Paint Turret Parts: -Easel -Pallet Board -Machine Gun -Wiring Its a large easel, with paint splotches on the paper, and the gun shoots essentially paint balls which damage and add a random color splat to the zombie. Must be powered, but to be powered you can either hook them up to a power outlet along the wall, or use a turbine. Sliqui-Geyser Parts: -Fire Extinguisher -Purple Goo in a package -Hose -Cinder block A large Fire Hydrant tied sideways to a cinder block. Bein…

Before reading the Theory You should watch this 14 minute video. Once you finish you will understand the theory a bit more So now that you are have heard the story I want to point out some parallels to our own zombies storyline. We've got an ancient race.....a great evil that resurfaces after eons... and we've got body swapping. These 3 Things can also be found in our own zombies storyline. The connection is even greater now that we have Lovecraft inspired lore thrown into the mix. We are currently seeing a battle between 2 Races. The Apothicans and the Keepers. We still do not know if the Apothican's are the only creatures we…

Ok, so after hearing all the radios and confirming that Multiple Universes Exist within our storyline I believe that Outworld Maxis ( The Maxis from the Origins ending cutscene) is currently living inside a house with Eddy and Sam. However this house is the last thing in existence after their universe was destroyed. To ensure the safety of the 2 children Outworld Maxis found a way to Open the Rift and sent the 2 children into another universe. Outworld Maxis apparently stayed behind inside the House to ensure that his plan would work. I am still not quite sure what his plan is but I have a few educated guesses My Guess is Maxis Sent Eddy through the Ri…

I talked about this with @Steelie in the comments of a post, but now I decided to make a topic about it. Is Origins + BO3 an endless loop/paradox? After the O4, the Primis left the Origins universe they try to save the multiverse, like they try in Black Ops 3. What if BO3 ends with Primis travel back in time to the Origins universe to warn the French Knights who almost found Agartha? They succeed to convince and stop the knights so they save the universe of the “Great Evil”, like Takeo once said. If this never happened, the Ancient Evil will never awaken and would never destroy all the universes, aka multiverse. Or well, the Primis thinks they saved the universe… As a mem…

To start off I'd like to say this post has been deleated twice now due to my iPad's safari crashing, so boo hoo to anyone that has any beef to my grammar... Just deal with it... It's plenty readable... ______________________ I've been meaning to ask this sense tranzit, but why is it when maxis communicates there's always that fading beeping noise? Sure it could be the fact he's using an intercom... But that doesn't make much sense at the pylon when he speaks to you, as there are no speakers.... That lead me to think "What kind of technology would be needed to send messages from the moon to earth?" This lead me to research group 601, And other radio wave related re…

I was thinking and maybe the Death Machine will appear in the box. It may have like 200 in clip, 400 in reserve, and it takes 10 seconds to reload. The power would be dumbed down quite a bit, though. Would be Pack-A-Punched to The Holocaust (LOL JK just can't think of a name ATM)

*INDUCTION COULD STILL BE FAKE DUE TO THE FACT A GHOST RECON SOLDIER IS IN IT* Huge goddamn thanks to MrRoflWaffles (Admin) for this. MrRoflWaffles has found out Induction might be true..It seems more legit that orientation. Black ops 2 dlcs might spell R.I.S.E (Revolution),(Induction),(Unknown),(Unknown). And Black ops I think spells F.E.A.R. FEAR THE RISE.... here is the video.. Now for the theories. The spires, Alright lets start this. So as we know Treyarch copies Nicola Tesla creations (Thanks Pinnaz) We know he has two towers that transmits wireless power. But was demolished in 1917. Why is there one in Paris? What are they using them for? …
