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.

As you may know, perks are a constant ever-updating facet of the Zombies experience, handy beverages that enhance the abilities of a player via numerous, perhaps magical effects within these seemingly rather mundane soft drinks. However, their creation, nor the explanation of how they achieve these effects has as of yet, not been explained in entirety within the storyline. Not one for merely slapping on the lazy story writing excuse of "it's magic", I'd love to entertain an explanation tied down with real life science, along with the sci-fi genre's pseudo-science, however misguided or a self-delusion it may be. So keeping such in mind, despite the depth of detail and res…

I have been wondering lately what I would call the new group in Shadows of Evil, since I already call the Tranzit group the New Crew I decided to call these characters "The Cursed" because it is better than the other new guys. I then decided to write down all of the names I called each group, but it got me thinking about what others call them. This isn't some big theory or anything but it is research because I think knowing what people call the groups is useful for understanding their terminology. So what I am going to do is list all of the possible names for each group. I call them whatever names I put first. I really want to hear what others call them and if anyone has …

Today I will be presenting a few key story elements of old maps that we know nothing about or could possibly not be the way we think they are. These things might show us a small glimpse at where our story is going. The Unknown Man...The Phantom Who was he? Who is he? Who will he be? Number 2 Weasel and Nikolai. Why does weasel hear the name Nikolai. What is the importance? More in Shadows of Evil? The Time Bomb What was it's Original Purpose? Why does it exist? Did it succeed in it's purpose? The MPD Who Built it? Why was it used? Can we use it again? The Death of Doctor Maxis If Maxis did not shoot himself then who did? Or better question....Who Will…

This is a page dedicated to finding the rest of the easter eggs that we have missed. Please leave a comment and or a video link to your research. I'm super curious and I hope some of you out there are also as well. I am currently re-looking over COD: Black Ops* to see if there is anything at all that we could have possibly missed. Please help me out! * Games will change as I progress through all of the maps until I feel satisfied with my research.

Ok so for the longest time we have assumed that the Mysterious MPD is how we control the Aether and how we control the Zombies. However what if I told you there was another possibility we have never actually assumed possible but could be possible? 3 people have used the MPD in our storyline The first was Samantha Maxis The Original Richtoen And Dr. maxis harnessed the powers indirectly but he did use it at one point Now. What exactly does the MPD do? For Samantha it gave her control of the Undead. However for Richtofen it did not seem to have the same effect. Richtofen;s control was limited however he was able to revive people,as well as get in contact…

Salutations reader! As I would hope, many of you have managed to discover and view The Giant's introduction scene, identifying the presence of twice as many Richtofens as we were prepared for. However, one must note the ease with which the Origins crew converses with this altogether strange and different Richtofen, of the warnings of impending doom they thrust upon him. They've obviously gained some form of knowledge as to the results of his nefarious experimentation, yet from who? None of the Origins crew was ever in possession of the information they so readily give in the intro during the course of the Origins map, suggesting that a 5th man, an unknown party, has suppl…

Ok so as we can see from the new Giant map The NO4 are going back before O4 Richtofen took control of the MPD. This takes place before Shi No Numa around the same time as the initial betrayal. So Maxis and samantha are killed or at least richtofen thinks this is what happens Ludvig Maxis states at the end of origins "The Paradox must be resolved" Maxis then enters the Light and the Paradox Is resolved resulting in us going What I believe is that Time started off as stable before WWII and the Zombies. This is a timeline where everything is Normal and the events that took place with group 935 are not as extraordinary as the one depicted in the storyline. However somewhe…

The Cylce Theory This is my first REAL theory. No jokes. Ok so here is what I believe the timeline of our story takes place Nachtà Verrukt à Shi No Numa à Der Riese à Kino Der Toten à Shangri-la à Ascension/Five à Call of the Deadà Moon/Nuketown à The point of no return After Kino I think they were accidentally teleported to Sangri-la. Hence the reason as to why their clothes are normal in Shang and not ripped. After this They take a seperate mode of transportation to ascension. The flying monkeys that can be seen in the sky. This is how they get to Ascension. After Ascension the Gerch device sends them to The future which is why we end up in COTD…

So, For BO3, I've decided to condense most of my ideas into one post I'll make weekly. I'll have a topic of the week, but it will always be about BO3 info. Week 1: June-5th : This week's topic: Movement A lot of speculation has come up about the movement system. Vonderharr has stated that every MP map will be designed to accommodate both the new movement system, and regular run-and-gun gameplay. No map can't be accessed completely by normal jumps. It's also HOPEFULLY a given that zombies will be given a movement system that DOESN'T have ANY type of boost. This leads me to believe that MOVEMENT WISE, we won't be seeing much of the thrust-jumps. Infact, I don't …

This thread is here to discuss the perks that can, should, and may not return for BO3. Now, in black ops 2 we've had just about every perk return from black ops one and WAW. So it's safe to say they'll all return at one point. In black ops 2 however, 5 new perk machines were introduced, here's the general reception of these perks: Tombstone- Was a nice idea for a perk, especially on a map the size of tranzit, however, only being a Co-op perk and how it could be exploited to get all perks is an issue. I don't think this perk will be returning, however, it is more likely then Who's Who. Who's Who- Commonly referred to as the worst perk ever. 2000 is way over-priced …

^ From Nightmare Voyager. Things seen in the backgrounds of the video, compied from throughout this thread by various users (see thread for details) and modified/merged/added to slightly by me. These are more or less facts, not speculation as to what they mean. Richtofen crossed out with fab 4 on two separate pictures from the Origins time period, one from Twitter account photos, one from B&W face profiles Inspirations for zombies showed walking dead and 28 days later. The storyline has direct connections. The Die Rise TV mentions Atlanta and the zombies being a virus. Brain and heart sketches under the pictures in a book The monkey skull the looks like t…

Hey there. I made this post to throw some of my ideas on how to take the classic Nazi Zombies game mode and bring it to the next level while maintaining it's core gameplay that so many have come to enjoy. The main purpose of this is that while there has always been some new equipment and perks and enemey types added. The zombie mode gets to a repetitve stall around rounds 20+. That is when the players have most of their things and now they only focus on their ammo reserve and doing same loops as long as they can. Games can take very long and at some point your guns are useless and only way to play is to make points to use traps over and over again. So here are som…

Fracture [story Concept] A long time ago there was a group composed of many scientists who’s intentions were to improve the human condition. Group 935. After world war 2 ended this secret organization became defunct and their very presence was forgotten as their story was buried within history. However….history should not be forgotten….or it could repeat itself…. The year is 1985. After world war II America Sparked massive scientific breakthroughs and technological advances never before deemed possible. Over the course of 40 years Humanity has Evolved into far more superior beings. Medical science now allows human beings to alter their own genetic makeup at will. Yo…

Ever since the DICE Summit I have been convinced that we are getting remastered zombie maps that may have a little extra content in them. By that I mean they may be changed and may have say different weapons. Also they could tell more story that couldn't be told. I have a theory, a very strange one about a map that I think is being hinted at to us. We keep getting bits of information such as Richtofen being erased in the Origins pictures or a new version of an old loading screen. I think this is alluding to the plot in Black Ops 3 and it will be a little different to what we have had before. Also, this kind of rectifies the Origins ending, at least to me, so I hope it doe…

Well now we know the theme of Black Ops III is twisted and dark future with super soldier enhanced with robotics and other advanced tech. It is quite safe to say zombies will follow such a direction with guns, abilities ect. Sure they could do all the guns, assets, etc. specifically for zombies and make it take place in another era but I highly doubt it. So in World at War the oraginzation in power of zombies was Group 935 working for Nazis. There were also Americans working with this mysterious element 115 in WW2 but we didn't know much about them at the time. Then came Black Ops. We saw the downfall of Group 935 and Cold War and how Majestic 12 took bigger steps in th…

Before we get started, YES. I do know that there are other games dedicated to zombies only. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ What if Treyarch/Infinity Ward/Sledgehammer made a CoD game specifically dedicated to zombies? Think about it: there would be more memory to put in more maps, weapons, and other features. Yes, there would still be multiplayer, but multiplayer survival or grief. Instead of having 3 base maps, there could be 7 or 8 maps. Even a "Zombies Campaign", where it shows all the maps and easter eggs to finish the storyline. Even better, like in WaW, you could build yo…

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…

its pretty certain that the next iteration of zombies will have a ranking system of some kind, but shouldnt our ranks reflect what type of player we are? maybe through emblems? heres my general idea. - a medic emblem for players that revive often or even buy quick revive in mp consistently. syringe maybe? - a general team player emblem, this would be for players who buy tons of doors, build things or complete EEs. -high rounder emblems 40+=shotguns, 50+= dual rayguns, 60+=theb wonder weapon from that specific map. -emblems for headshots/accuracy. crosshairs or what not. -strategist embems, there would be 2 types, camper or runner - emblem for players that stay in…

Many times we have wondered why there are never Zombie Children in Zombie Games. How come adult zombies is all we ever face. A common explanation is that having zombie children, especially as enemies that we can kill is bad publicity because it shows violence against children. However....what if there was a Darker and more Sinister reason as to why there are no Kid Zombies running around Well....Did you know that when an african Lion eats a Child it leaves no Bones Behind? The child Simply vanishes which is why children in africa are often taught to stay away from the jungles and the tall grasses. because often They vanish without a trace. Now Imagine what would h…

EDIT: I enjoy hearing about new wunderguns that you guys have come up with. Leave the name and description of your personal wunderweapon! We all know about the Wunder-weapons. They're the piece of the map that everybody looks forward to ascertaining. Everytime a new map pack comes out (in this case, new GAME) one of the first questions on people's minds are "which gun will be in this one?" Treyarch made the ingenius move of making the fun blasting ray gun and.keeping it in every map, its sort of become a symbol FOR the zombie mode specifically. However, even more-so genius than that was the introduction of the Wunder-Waffe. To this day i still believe that gun is the …

After the DICE presentation and some little bits of insights into the story, I have kind of compiled information that I think links together and will make up the next story arc. So here are my thoughts. First of all, I think that we will be continuing on with the story around Origins, but I think that the map we will get with the game, or at least one map will take place before this blueprint as there is another page seemingly before it, what that entails I do not know but I do think I know what this blue print links to. So we have a date, 1915 which is funny to me considering that this blueprint was meant to be made 100 years ago this year, those dates' connections ju…

So I'm not sure this warrants a post, but here it is anyway for cataloging purposes. Treyarch and Jimmy have tweeted a few cryptic things. So likely nothing. Reponses are hopeful it's some sort of DLC or 2015 zombies tease.
