Research & Development
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.

So I'm sure you're all aware of the 3rd painting in the wolf bow upgrade. It portrays a mountain and the giant squid-like creature from SoE. Each character has a quote when selecting this portrait. Richtofen's quote is: "last time I saw this is when I picked up the key". Richtofen is referring to when he picked up the summoning key in SoE, of which happened in a 2 year time frame before The Giant. However, the fact that he said the last time suggests he's seen them before. And at the end of all the paintings, he basically says that battling the apothicans only really ends in death. Now I'm just going to make a huge jump here but what if that letter saying that Primis will…

So I've been thinking about future locations for DLC, now I know that we have Richtofens note with coordinates and ciphers are coming in thick and fast regarding the island research centre and stuff about Stalingrad but Treyarch love to play mind games with us, which is brilliant, but I wonder if it's all a game. They are giving us way too many clues regarding future DLC if you ask me. In the build up to the game release and while playing the giant we were tricked into believing that we would be revisiting the moon, which of course we didn't nor will we now it's been exploded into piece. Maybe we're being led down the same path again, maybe I'm being stupid, I'm intereste…

4/30 Update: Leonard Reiffel In the BO3 "Only the Cursed Survive" poster, there is a cityscape at the bottom which has been revealed to be Chicago (thanks to @PINNAZ ) It got me to researching Chicago, and it's notable citizens whom could possibly relate to the zombies storyline. There was an individual by the name of Leonard Reiffel, and the man has collaborated with members of Operation Paperclip. Specifically (borrowing from wiki), "Reiffel collaborated with German scientists recruited in America as part of Operation Paperclip, working on an early prototype for a railgun." At the University of Chicago's Institute for Nuclear Studies, Reiffel helped construct a C…

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…

I wanted to make this thread to discuss on the zombies locations and what group do these locations belong to. I have made this early draft here to give some of my ideas: I also apologizes that the forum background doesn't go well with the picture. Open the image in new tab to get clearer picture.

After the DICE Summit came out I made a post about where I think we are going next in zombies. (Here's the post: ) But after the reveal of Black Ops 3 and with further evidence of the storyline floating around, I think I have came up with even more ideas for what the future holds such as locations, plot elements and even possibly characters. The Beginning Origins is said to be the beginning of the story. I know people say that doesn't make sense but through all advertising points and all story in the map, it is the start. I personally do think that there is more to be explained with it. But I think that briding the gap between Origins and say Richtofen experimenting …

The following is merely food for thought….. Food for those who suffer from the Hunger…. It was that fateful day, Long ago when the first prospect of an entire race of beings erupted from the fires of a falling star. Deep within the ghastly swamps of Japan Group 935 would take certain actions that would doom the earth to a constant cycle that has yet to be broken. The element was experimented on by the Germans in was at the time known as the greatest war ever witnessed on the planet earth. The element was distributed to locations all throughout germany in order to better study it and advance technology far beyond human comprehensio…

Firstly I wan't to talk about who is the controller of the timeline in the Giant, I am going to relate back to a lot of things in the old story too so bare with me. In the WaW-BO-BO2 timeline, when Richtofen traps Samantha and Maxis in the teleport with Fluffy, expecting them to be ripped to pieces, they are teleported to different locations. This is because a function of the teleporter, when used for time travel at least, is that it can teleport someone to one of two locations. The first being the Moon, where Richtofen ended up when using the teleporter for the first time. Then, for unknown reasons, he ended up being teleported again- without the use of the tele…

Edward has a secret. Something he can NEVER let the other 3 Know. What if Takeo, Nikolai and Dempsey don’t really exist? What if these 3 were created for the sole purpose of saving the Multiverse? These 3 test Subjects were Super Soldiers created to Aid Edward in his Plan to collect the artifacts and set the timeline straight. However they were also given false memories to motivate them into doing what they need to do. They believe that in saving the universe they will be able to go home to their families, their old lives and their homelands. However these characters may not actually have a home to go back to. We now know that there are multiple time streams and universes…

We think we know everything that happened during Moon. Mad scientist launches the Rockets at earth in order to Break the Rift…. But what if we had it all wrong? What if the missiles were originally meant to stop the opening of the Rift? In the 1960’s WWII was over and the united states salvaged remnants of group 935. They discovered, research, The uses of Divinium, some Live specimens and even the advanced teleportartion systems from der riese. They reverse engineered much of this and even managed to perfect Teleportation so that it allowed undead matter to pass through it. They created the Winters Howl and even installed a pack a punch inside the con…

Ok, so for the past few years we’ve analyzed every map, every easter egg, even scraps of papers we find on the ground. We have achieved great results but we are still left with so many questions. However I believe I have discovered something no one has ever even paid attention to at all. The portrait of Roebuck in Five. Now, many people have looked at this portrait and just dismissed It as a mere reference to W@W. However I believe we have completely missed the implications that ONE portrait has on the Storyline, especially now more than ever. We now know thanks to the Giant that their mission is to set everything right again.…

So I was looking at the challenges within the game(i.e Zombie Hunter and the like) and noticed a sort of running theme between the three different sets. For instance, all of the achievables within the "Zombie Hunter" tier of challenges have calling cards which seem to reference the Shadows of Evil noir style. The other two tiers(one of them is "Gum Gobbler" and the other is "Survivalist" if I remember right) have general themes. The one I found interesting was the second tier, Survivalist. There seems to be somewhat of a Dia de Los Muertos theme ongoing, or the "Day of the Dead" for the non familiar. This ties in with something that Dempsey says in one…

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…

Xmas 2015 Day 1: The 5 Evils Theory Welcome to Day 1 of the Black Hand Holiday Spectacular. Last December I made 25 Posts. Well, this year I want to try to Top that with 25 Brand new Posts. So without further Ado let’s begin with Day 1 which I call. The Five evils theory So, Lets talk about the Shadow Man. This Apothican trickster confronts The Shadows of Evil characters into opening the Gateway allowing him to destroy their Dimension. However he says something really interesting “ Your service to the overlords is appreciated, Our complete assimilation of this dimension shall now proceed. ” This indicates that asid…

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…

If you didn't know, in Shi No Numa their is a radio that can be activated. It has a small segment of audio from Call of the Dead, when the O4 are trapped and you can hear Takeo being sick. I never see anyone question it though. So why is it in Shi No Numa? It completely confuses me every time I think of it because I cannot see any links between the maps besides this radio. It has to mean something too, like the audio should be from say 2010 yet its in the 40s. So how is it possible?

The MOTD/SOE/Main story Connection [ Thesis ] The companion Video for the Thesis. Has all the pics in a downloadable form. Look for them in the description. Welcome back. Today I have a very special theory I came up with at work last Friday. It involves Mob of the Dead. Shadows of evil and how it would answer many questions we have about the zombies storyline if it can be confirmed. However the clue that made me actually want to dive deeper into the rabbit hole is one fact about Shadows of Evil. 1940’s. I’ve been discussing it with an old forum buddy known as Syphon. We’ve been swapping info and then we both came up with this theory together. There is also a vide…

The Darkness, Ancient Egypt and the Teddy Bear So far within the storyline we know that there is something else in the MPD besides Samantha. We also know that whatever it is, it was inside a Pyramid. According to ancient Egyptian beliefs it was custom to bury those who were seen as Gods, within a deep pyramid. It is also believed by some that the pyramids themselves were designed by Ancient Aliens. Of course this sounds ridiculous however in Shangri-la we do in fact see a strange Non-human skull in Richtofen’s Tomb. Which could suggest that there is indeed some sort of alien involvement in the story. Another piece of evidence that suggests aliens is the Pyramid …

I have been thinking really hard about time travel and the like and how what has happened in the Giant fits into zombies. So I believe I have came up with a solution to a lot of the big questions that have arose from the Giant and even before then. Anyways the first thing I want to get out of the way is that I am really against the alternate universes idea. Not because I don't like the idea, I am writing a story about it and I love the idea. Of course it could fit into the story, I am not denying that fact but I think it offers a more complicated explanation to all of this and that this theory will give another take on that, making it so you don't really need any alternat…

So if the zombies storyline wasn't confusing enough then this is going to make it even more confusing. Please remember this is all speculation but it could be true. So throughout World at War zombies at the start of the match we were always told where we were in the bottom left corner, and it said Germany for Natch Der Untoten, Verrukt and Der Reise - maybe Treyarch is lying and here's why: First instead of you having to read all of my writing and explanation watch this video first then come back so you understand what I'm talking about: http://youtu.be/2IR77-btTY4 Now you've seen how Shadows of Evil and The Giant are linked, pretty much The Giant could actually be set…

So, with all the building and theorizing, ripping, tearing and critiquing (respectfully, of course) that we do out here, I would like to hear y'all's input on what some of the worst, most far fetched theories y'all have ever heard proposed, for this thread, specifically in regards to the World at War/BO re-release maps, whether on here, YouTube, or elsewhere. Under Supported/Under Researched/Unfounded/Far Fetched: a.) Based on, or related to events in another game, narrative, or other media or literature that is not directly referred to, clearly implied (by virtue of relationship), or was not confirmed in a later map. b.) Directly, though not deliberately, contradicti…

So I was thinking today (Yes I actually think from time to time) and I realize that all of us have different preferences in what we believe is true. Some of us believe maxis shot himself while others believe marlton is from 2025. So lets share our own personal Headcanons. In my Headcanon when group 935 allied themselves with the Nazi's they had Jews Shipped from the camps to the Moon in order to use them as sacrifices or They took patients from Verrukt and if they had any leftovers then they would just send them back to the asylum because no one would believe an insane person's claims that scientists were killing people on the moon. In my personal headcanon. The Origin…

Hey guys this is a topic I though we could make and possibly find the missed easter eggs in previous zombie maps. I know we have searched the maps high and low for easter eggs but maybe there is something we missed. If some of you guys know some eater eggs that are not that famous maybe you could post them here. Thanks

Zombies and Tarot Cards?

I was thinking about the Binding of Isaac just now and I thought of the tarot cards in it and thought they could relate to zombies. Has anyone ever linked characters to tarot cards? I have been linking some characters, utilities and just general stuff in zombies to some of them so I am going to make a list and if you think otherwise or think of something I haven't please tell me. Also tell me if anyone has made this connection before because on some of these I can truly see some strong ones. I am going to update this post as I go on, a lot of it has been done already but I would rather here other peoples opinions for now. I have been working on this post all day as well s…
