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.

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…

No matter your opinion on the Call of Duty series, you can't argue that it has rich and good soundtracks. I would like to see this included with Zombies. Today I want to talk about the Ambience and Background Music in maps. Mob of the Dead, Buried and Origins really bought the ambience and background music to whole new levels, even making two whole soundtracks dedicated to Mob of the Dead and Origins. Treyarch made these maps very thematic in terms of playing experience (which I would like to see also in the future). But these aren't the first ambience and background music has been made for zombies. Call of the Dead has A Cold Wind Blows. You may have heard parts …

I created this tread to discuss how extinction could be related to zombies, I suggest you go watch the intel for those who don't understand. Look, we have soul powered devices, a demonic samantha, war hero scientist in constant battle with her after his experiments on her went haywire, Then a golden-rod-like organ from an ood-like ancient is used to manipulate a machine in an environment where one can jump really high. Come on, if not a multiverse theory we can at least discuss infinity ward's serious copyright infringements.

Gorod Krovi, a map taking place in an fracture of the original universe. A universe in which the Battle of Stalingrad has grown into an even more bloodier conflict that seems to never end. A universe in which the Nazi Group 935 has created Dragons. Many people over here, including me, seemed to dislike their sudden appearance, without any background/story why they are here. No explanation: Group 935 just seemed to breed these creatures out of nowhere. But after doing some research, I found out that this might not be true. As you might know, the Nazi party stimulated the racial purity of the Germanic people, with Aryan ancestors, origination all the way back to t…

Yep, Treyarch got us a better picture of the "Mauser" weapon today, in the "Letters From The Field" photo album! Mauser (PROTOTYPE CXS)- MAXIS JAN. 5, 1915. ATTACHMENT SCOPE There also seems to be some type of code at the bottom. It's in the square under Maxis. Maxis scale: 11' 7" weight: 1,320g code: m1916cxs I believe that this is not a WW, but rather a new weapon being introduced, such as the Remington New Model Army, or the M1927. Also, some people have said it may be the M1915. I searched "M1915", and only found automatic weapons, or tiny pistols. I tried "Mauser 1915", and only rifles/shotguns popped up. Hopefully, we have mo…

By my count, the very first brainstorming of the next COD game begins around the time the game before is RELEASED. This makes sense as many teams who worked on the campaign and basic MP set up now have about 4 times as much free time. And if my logic is flawed (And I'm about 90% sure it is) please don't make this topic about that…. If you want more proof: The first teasers are seen between DLC 1 and 2 normally. If they want enough brainstorming time, they should begin about the time the game came out…. Of course, again, not much research was done, just my thinking… Point is, if there's a time that trayarch is looking for ideas it's going to be in about a month and…

So I was bored and disconnected from xbox live for some stupid reason, so I went to berlin wall to look around and stuff. About 3 minutes in I figured i could look for some easter eggs. I was walking around when i passed some clocks. I checked the time(i do this everytime for some reason, maybe because of five) and it said 5:20. I looked on my phone AND clock and they both said around 8. I began to ponder what it could be, when the idea hit me. Perhaps Second Strike(lol i dont know what to call it) will launch on May 20, and be based off of Berlin Wall? I guess in time we'll see. Please leave feedback

There has been a lot of speculations about whether or not zombies will continue on and eventually move to PS4/Xbox One. From what we know there has been confirmed fakes on Amazon and Gamestop about "Zombies Collection" which in sense is, from what I've heard, just all the zombies maps put into one game. I think this would be a game that a lot of people buy. Treyarch is bankrupt and if they can sum the money to make a version like this there profit would go through the roof giving them a lot more money to create future games. I personally hope that this will indeed happen seeing as though I've sold my PS3 for my PS4. World at War- Black Ops 2 zombies maps would be great as…

Here's a mental idea. Hold me. What if Marlton, Misty, Stulinger and Russman, are [unknowingly] sleeper-agents? Their minds modified, such and such. Maybe this goes deeper. In the comic-book which was just released, it showed us a Zombie capable of controlling other zombies - at least that is what it looked like - and dodging Misty's bullet, which is a technique used in the past More on that below,] Maybe it's even capable of cognitive thought? There's evidence in Gorod Krovi that tells us that the Marlton and company were at some point 'property' of a specific group. May it be government, Broken Arrow, or whoever. This idea isn't new …

This is a question I'd like to ask about next year's ranking system: Which is better to you guys: Skill: Like the one we have now based on Kill/Death/Down/what round you're on that determines your rank. Objective: A bit more advanced and useful. This ranking system never goes down, but instead requires the player to perform certain tasks: Survive the first room without opening any doors, hit the mystery box 20 times in one game, complete the easter egg, ect. And for the second question: Should ranking systems be map-specific or apply to every map? Map specific: Each map a player has holds a different rank. One could b…

so I was really unsure as whether to post this or not. we have a future zombies section. some possible information towards a future zombies map has made itself apparent. perhaps this is all an exercise in whether we should have a future zombies section. regardless, I'm going to present the information I've seen. I love this site, and if this in anyway viewed as harming the sites integrity please take care of it. DEAD HIGH Possible Significance: 1. the overall color theme is blue. including the brackets around the map name. this could be an allusion to water, and thus - MAYBE - an Atlantis map. 2. there is a map called "water" - vague …

Do you guys think it's possible that we will get something similar to what we got as the final map pack for BO1? Will we get a number of zombie maps for the price of one? And an even better question is what will they give us this time? Revamped BO1 maps? New maps? or maybe nothing. What do you guys think?

There is a very troublesome issue that needs to be discussed: What era will the game after AW be? There are 3 possibilities in my mind: - They continue what they're doing allowing for a futuristic environment, this allows more imagination and gameplay elements like the exo-suit or the air strikes. However the community is supposedly growing tired of these games… What with Halo, the past 4 games, and battlefield being all futuristic… People are becoming bored apparently… I certainly am not, it's call of duty, the more cool shiz we get to kill with the better, I don't want to fight with muskets! -They return to their roots offering WW1/WW2/Coldwar era combat. …

With DLC 4 being most likely the final piece of Official Zombies content for Black Ops 2 (Map Wise not Mule Kick for every map). It will be interesting to see how Treyarch will handle this. Currently our only clues to this is a loading screen, more specifically Buried or Resolution 1295. Loading Screen What we have here is the loading screen. On the top right we seen two points of interest. A ripped portion of the page leading to a blueprint, and on the bottom left corner, what looks like a page between Buried and this blueprint. The first thing that comes to mind with most of us, is Der Riese. But before we scream remake. I think what we are most …

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…

Hey all, its your friendly neighborhood Rift Runner, with a question I assume that some of you may have had: What if zombies became its own CD? The reason I believe that this should happen is because a good number of people in my local community will purchase Treyarch's games for zombies alone, which is a positive and a negative. Positive, because that means Activision and Treyarch are getting more money for a single aspect of the game. Negative, because that means that there are wasted parts of the CD that hardly become used, and the people have to pay more for that one aspect. Another reason I believe this is a grand idea, is because how quickly it exploded. …

if you think this title is alil misleading and if theres already a thread somewhere like this with this information im sorry. but i was recently playin black ops 1 and at the same time watching videos of MoTD on youtube. as im playing im thinking about how Call of the Dead and Mob of the Dead titles are similar. im playing Ascension and an idea came in my head, wat if thats the same for Die Rise and Ascension, both kinda mean the same right? Ok i know your wondering where im goin with this so here, if they (Treyarch) are indeed goin by the same way in the next dlc we should expect a mythical place like Shangri-la. the FIRST place that comes to mind is Agartha…

Whaddup guys, So a few days before CoDz went down, there were quite a few interesting (and pretty revealing) tweets from David Vonderhaar, the lead game designer for BO2, and Jimmy Zielinski, a lead designer for Zombies, about upcoming DLC. (Ermahgerd those last names.) They weren't those typical cryptic ones they usually give out, either. They were straight up giving out info about it. Here's the main ones that should be looked at: 1. Jimmy and his Brother (maybe.) First off, I really don't know if this guy is really Jimmy's brother or if it's just a joke or something, but that's unimportant. Jimmy's reply made me do a double take. Austin asked if we…

Welcome! I would like to address this thread. I went through 114 pages of Zombies threads on my old forum to find all this content, plus I had to organize it and add effects such as bold, color, and more. This is a HUGE compilation of ideas I made on an old forum. So huge, I have a table of contents lol. It is from a forum in which I was known as 'Mjroady', so that's why some things reference that name. Many things may have been implemented. Many things are stupid, or contradict with the story a bit. However, some are amazing even today. I hope you like this collection, and please give me your opinions! Thanks. 1. Mjroady's Wonder Weapon Ideas Compilation: 2. Map Idea…

It seemed at the start of BO2 that Treyarch was really trying to push the idea of new zombies game modes to try to expand the zombies world. They almost made it sound as though new game modes would be a big selling point for the game. They talked about Survival (which we thought would basically just be the original zombies mode), Grief, and TranZit (which really is just the original story based zombies we were used to). Then after the community responded how they did to Turned mode, they seemed to ditch the whole idea of adding new modes and new zoned out 'mini maps' for each game mode. My point is, we were basically beta testing the idea of having new game mod…
