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.

I, for one, want a shifting map. And for those who don't know what I mean... I want a map that is constantly changing. This would be very difficult to pull off, but I could definitely see it happening in the future. For instance, It would be very interesting to have an undamaged part of the world, and the new crew would be sent there. So when you start off, the area would be undamaged, and the longer you survive, the more damage is caused to the area, and so: The map would only stay the same for 4-5 rounds at a time. I can see how people would immediately say this would be impossible due to the fact of perks, weapons, and buildables being placed in …

When are the guys at Treyarch going to come out with a Comic Book-Novel of WaW/BO1? Just a full story line of what we know with visuals. That would be a huge money maker idea with 100% chance of people preordering/lines.

I was thinking a lot about all the different maps and I realised that die rise and tranzit have something in common... they both have tower sort of things. So if you think about it the next map is probably going to have a tower in. And the one place I can think of at the top of my head is Paris. Also treyarch did say something about Paris and in both tranzit and die rise the towers light up or have electricity passing through them; the Eiffel tower can also be lit up. I dont know if that makes any sense but if it does then it would be great if you guys could give me some feedback. ;)

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'm sure we've all found ourselves listening to the ingame quotes on Wiki or YouTube at at least one in point in time. If not, here's a YouTube link (this is not my YouTube) to all Richtofen quotes found in the ingame files: http://youtu.be/VkgZ8wjpjek If you listen, there're TONS of quotes that haven't even been heard before, so what does this mean? Further advancing the Easter Egg? If you pay attention, all ingame quotes are slightly muffled and less echoed, so I'm pretty sure we can cross off the unheard quotes for Easter Egg purposes. If not an Easter Egg then, what can these quotes be used for? I have a theory on a future game mode that can involve …

Ok I think for the final easter egg in the last map is going to be a 8 player map with the new team working for Richtofen and the old characters working with maxis and you get thrown on a side depending what EE you did and what ever team finishes their EE first wins the game

I didn't get the season pass... I was one of many who was screwed over by buying the Hardened Edition and getting Nuketown 1 MONTH Early for a whopping TWENTY DOLLARS!!! haha my ahole is still pooping money-shaped poops.. like staacks haha Thanks Trey, maybe try offering a bit more.. because the gamestops I went to couldn't give me any info on the Black Ops 2 Hardened Edition.. So I figured you guys were gonna pull a clasic Black Ops 1 move and give the public every map from the previous game? nah. The public got shafted. And I guess I'm speaking on their behalf.. I'm a little outraged, the more I think about it.. I could've saved the 20+ bucks and put it towards the seas…

Hi, So everyone has been talking about how Paris was a big map Treyarch has been wanting to make and such. People say it'll be in the next DLC, but I think it will be in the final DLC. I get this from the fact that we have been using towers like pylons and radio towers in our recent Easter Eggs. Well when you look at the Eiffel Tower, what do you see? I see one big booty Spire that Richtofen and Maxis would kill for. I chose that picture because the lights at the top remind me of ToB. Why not make that the grand ending for the Easter Eggs? Put your thoughts/counter theories below!

ALIENS! (a gamer can dream right?) Imagine aliens spawning in from ufos, possibilities are endless. I know this isn't a "future zombie" thing... Anyways I'd love to see Treyarch do this. You can tell they have some interest in the "supernatural" or just aliens. Hangar 18 comes to mind from bo1. They could get bored with zombies after a while, maybe not. This would be a awesome route to explore.

Having a Create a class for zombies. Maybe bring back the old multi player system from Black Ops 1 where you would use your unused points at the end of the game to buy perma perks, a pick of certain starting weapons (Weapons off the walls), attachments for your starting guns (quick draw, stock, grip, long barrel, fmj, tac-knife, dual weild, fast mag and different scopes with our pick of reticles) and Equipment. (Frag and Semtex grenades, claymores, C4, emp, bouncing bettys and shock charges. Also, this game type should have a mini map. Not so you see the zombies on the map, but your team mates and nearby buildings and/or structures. If you want this game type, …

I just had a quick suggestion for the Zombie storyline. BE warned, this is a conglomeration of a couple of posts I made on the official COD forums, they are old. Sorry for any confusion! I really hope this is the section that Treyarch reads for suggestions I was wondering if thet could add a new playable character to the zombie storyline. The whole Nazi Occultist aspect of the story has a whole “Indiana Jones” feel to it and I was wondering if you could add an archeologist/historian character to the story. BUT, this is not simply for fan boy purposes, I have legitimates reasons: 1. It’s a perfect homage- The entire zombie storyline revolves around Nazi Occu…

*This is not a section for you to post random maps that there are no clues for. These are potential maps that we have data, proving that this is a potential zombies map. I think after Die Rise, Atlantis may take place. Data: We know that the Sea Gem happened around the time Die Rise takes place. And I believe Russman makes a comment about Atlantis.(Not positive) After Sea Gem, I believe the Paris Map will take place. Data: There is a 935 base located near the Eiffel tower. After Paris, I believe we will be back in Space, for the 4th and final zombies map. This will be where it all ends. Also, around the same time Die Rise takes place, that year…

Ok, so, basically my idea is that treyarch come up with a complete set of alternate textures for a map, and give us an option on the menu to switch between the traditional textures and a new one. For example, the old texture or traditional one could be of a destroyed area, while the alternate one presents the same map but pristine and undamaged. It's a pretty simple idea, though I don't know how easy it would be to carry out. I personally would love playing on some old maps, fully repaired. Thoughts? Edit: and the textures would in no way alter the layout of the map. It would be like nuketown / nuketown 2025. Exact same layout, just looks different.

After Great Leap Forward, I feel it's fairly evident that the last site will be a tower, like the pylon in Green Run and the radio tower in GLF. But what happens after this? I ask this because next DLC drop it's going to be likely we're activating a third tower, but then what? After the next DLC, we have two more left for Black Ops 2. Green Run -> GLF -> DLC 2 -> DLC 3 -> DLC 4 So what are your guys' thoughts? What will we be doing with DLC 3 and 4?

If you're anything like me, you love achievements. No matter how big or how small, you love the little ping that pops up when you've done something neat. In fact, I love them so much to the point where I have maxed out every CoD game since Call of Duty 4. Now, I ask you all, do you think Black Ops II will have 2000G? The first game to hit that milestone was Gears of War 3, with each of its four DLC packs adding 250G. WaW only got to 1500G with the last two map packs, Black Ops went to 1700G with all four of its, and MW3 went to the oddly numbered 1610G. I believe BOII will hit 2000G simply because each of its DLC packs will (or should) contain 250G a pop, if …

A Tactical Insert. I hate having to have my whole team spawn me over to where I wanna spawn at. Half the time, either the zombie or crawler dies out and I spawn in the middle of nowhere. Buy it off the wall for 1000 and once it's used you can still get Monkey Bombs out of the box. I hope others agree with this minor change.

It appears recently that trayarch has been giving us a new theme with each map, wither it be green run with its theme of being a huge map, or die rise's verticality theme... Actually to be honest I didn't see the whole vertical theme used as much as what I DID see: the theme of not being able to go back, once you crossed a certain boundary... Either way the next theme has to be something epic as well, ideas anyone? New elements added to the bunch? Temperature? Speed? Alternate realitys? Water? Space jumps? Rotation? How about a room swap map that constantly changes positions? Like say at one point you enter a room, then something happens, and you ca…

Hey everyone,today i wanna talk about the future dlcs and the loading screen of die rise.So as every zombies map since ascension i think,there was a bit of page ripped off on the left and on the right.The left is the map before and the right is the map after.So on the die rise loading screen you can see on the left the loading screen the tree from tranzit and a bit of the nuketown loading screen.Then on the right,i'm not sure,i wanna hear your thoughts.I think it might be either a film reel like kino or a valve and some pipes,which could mean that the map is underground.I also wanna talk about a Paris map in zombies.So when i say this,you might not believe me but i'm fren…

We'll need to find a new way to obtain such a thing.. Introducing, my little friend. The Dreader15 works similar to the Thundergun. But not As effective. ..This Blender like gun Shreds zombies into mush to create power on a level of "pure evil" using element 115 at its core to build something of great intelligence; or perhaps, Mass Producing?.. You only get one shot with this gun and there's no chance at pack-a-punching this 'Knock-Out Gun." Your One-shot of your ammo is retrievable. This Wunder Weapon has moderate recoil and shoots a cone effect of grinding saw blades that spew out and shreds those in your line of sight, (Not Peripheral Vision) creating a…

I've been looking into more things that have been occuring at the same time as The Great Leap Forward and Green Run. I cam across Sea Gem. We've all been wanting a water map and I think this is right up that alley. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_Gem The Sea Gem was the first British offshore oil rig, and the first British offshore rig disaster when in 1965, the rig's legs collapsed, killing 13 of the crew. Currently, the only problem with this is the very low death toll. I may continue to update this thread with more shotgunning theories because if you make a million guesses you increase your chances of being right xD Adiition: The North Atlantic Ocean …
