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.

Are the Gatekeepers Vril-Ya?
by Guest- 1 reply
- 1.9k views
I believe there is a lot of confusion as to just who and what the Ancient Order of the Keepers are. Especially the Gatekeepers, these guys: I have often referred to these beings be called the Vril-Ya. Now, that is fine and dandy but I can tell you for a fact that it is not as simple as that. There are many different interpretations of the Vril-Ya and I believe that for all intents and purposes, they technically are them. Notice I said "technically", because we have no confirmation of that and because it isn't that clear cut. We know from Shadows of Evil that we have had a lot of new beings introduced to us that are Treyarch's interpretations of monsters fro…

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 …

Every time we get a new trailer for a new DLC we often find ourselves looking for trailer analysis of a new map, and we make our own theories based on the achievements that are leaked. However what is the thing you look forward to in a Zombies map? Is it the Location? Do you want to see how the story ties in? What about the easter egg song? The fact that in every map we get a brand new never before heard Song made specifically for the map. Maybe your favorite thing is figuring out the brand new easter egg before anyone else does? Or perhaps you enjoy seeing the map for the first time and checking out the new mechanics and traps.... My personal favorite thing in zo…

I know I'm not the only one who is pumped to see some new info, and wow. A giant mech warrior? I don't think any of us expected that. But maybe we should have. Firstly there is the obvious connection between this machine and Der Riese, which is that Der Riese is German for "the giant". The sign on the facility's wall reads "waffenfabrik Der Riese" which means weapon factory: the giant. Maybe this name doesn't refer to the facility itself, but whatever they manufactured there. As MrRoflWaffles has pointed out, there are several frames flashed during the trailer, which form an image when photoshopped together. The 935 logo is visible in the image, so we can assu…

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…

Comning Straight out of the Comic Books with "Victus" "Marlton guides the other three to his location, where he uses the Element 115 shard for a contraption requiring the activation of 4 individuals. The contraption extracts their blood, with Stuhlinger explaining Richtofen's words that it is supposed to help recognize them and differentiate them from zombies. A flash occurs, and the four find the view of the once barren forest before them now changes to a lush forest at nightime, leaving Misty wondering whethey they have "fixed the world"." "Stuhlinger ignores Richtofen's request and heads off to the room alone, where he finds the zombies making wa…

Started browsing the forum in... '09, I think? Been a while. Over the years, I've seen CoDz thrive -- and I've seen it decay. This declination in quality came directly from Treyarch -- and started with the release of Ascension (early 2011). Overly grandiose easter eggs are not what lured me in - I liked the small stuff. So did the rest of the adult community. When the focus shifted from small hints (radios, notes) to story quests of large proportions, the adult community started tuning out -- and the kiddies arrived. CoDz used to be centered around analyzing radios/images/codes, and that's what built up an adult community. That's what kept the site active from De…

So Treyarch recently updated their twitter banner, and while looking at it, something struck me. The explosion in the middle looks like it has something flying out of it. I'm thinking *sigh* yet another new Zombie type. Any thoughts/ ideas/ complaints?

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 Colours of Yellow, Blue and the penultimate Red, Explained...? Also M. Night Shyamalan!

I watched this film called 'Split' directed by M. Night Shyamalan - great director when he lands good material in my opinion. The film is about a schizophrenic individual who has many [twenty-four?] personalities, and when he changes personalities his body chemistry has subtle but remarkable changes on his body. That part of the film, although interesting, is not the reason I am posting this. The man had twenty-four personalities, however over time the number dwindled to a dominant four, who in team took over this antagonist [Kevin] in an attempt of a shared agenda - to become 'the beast'. Again, that part is also interesting but not the reason I am posting t…

Ever since the DICE Summit, there has been evidence of maps being remade. Not like in Rezzurection, but actual map remakes. There is such evidence as the Fly Trap advertisement from Moon being moved, the image of a gun that we have not seen in either a new location or possibly an old one and finally a lot of other pictures that seem to show new things in old locations. Here is evidence for at least multiple maps being recreated: Evidence from the DICE Summit: Restoration of 935: New gun: New version of the Der Riese loading screen: A (seemingly) changed map layout of Call of the Dead: Shangri La's loading screens. One is much lik…

Am I the only one who was confused at how (on Black Ops 2) the campaign team zombie maps (Mob of the Dead and Origins) easily beat the zombies team maps (TranZit, Die Rise and Buried) in every way? They were more engaging, challenging but not too challenging, interesting, thought provoking and most of all... Fun! This leads me to think, should the campaign team have more input on future zombies maps? They managed to create fantastic maps while the zombies team failed in that aspect. Your thoughts? (I'm happy to be back )

I have speculation that a new zombie map could be berlin wall. There is some zombie looking stuff around and it would be a great map. You would be able use the turrents and iniatilly the open spaces would be blocked off but for purchase. The vantage points would amazing for sniping or just killing. The team could go there looking for refuge , only to find more zombies. however there is very little info to support this. But i think it would make a very interesting map. sry for it being so long hope you read it. this is all straight out of my mind and nowhere else!

The story begins in the abandoned Wenceslaus mine near the big German City of Breslau. A facility called "Der Riese" was built here, named after the name of the project: Project Riese. It was here where German scientists (from Group 935) worked on a top-secret German wunderwaffe called "Die Glocke", German for "the Bell", but also called "the Flytrap". Because of lack of documentation, it is yet unknown what exact purpose the structure had, however we do know that it had to become some kind of weapon of mass destruction. Die Glocke is described as being a device "made out of a hard, heavy metal" approximately 2.7 metres wide and 3.7 to 4.6 metres high, …

I know what you're probably thinking: "He just got those names of the Two Down video Eddy is a liar, he didn't think those up." You're right, they did come from the video. But think about it. Germans (like me) on this forum know what Der Leuchtturm translates to: The Lighthouse English lighthouse pic seen on Der Riese board. Coincidence? I'm not so sure. Ascension was first. We take a rocket or lander to the Moon. Fight up there. Take the rocket again. We crash land into the water outside Der Leuchtturm. The last one should sound VERY familiar to americans.

I think the reason Kowloon might be the next map for the Zombies is because all around the map there are windows that look like you can repaire. I like the idea of this map becasue it has that feeling zombies could be there (To me I dont know what you think Im just saying that).It would be pretty cool if they could to have them crawl up from the side of the bulidings AKA NOVA GAS CRAWLERS!Oh and also you can get the Thunder Gun during the story but peopl may say its a easter egg in the story but how knows,maybe its a sign? 8-)

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…

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…

As we all know Die Rise has brought us a brand new and wonderful perk known as Who's Who. I believe this perk has more to do with the next map than we know. Who's Who enables our characters, once they go down to be revived in a saturated, watery dimension. We are then able to revive our real self. The reason I say watery is because our screen looks as if we are constantly underwater, waves and bubbles distort our screen as well as the saturated colors. Take a look at this image here to see what I am talking about. Now then to the perk machine itself. Notice how it resembles a deep sea diver suit. Bluish green topped with a glass head-bowl for air. Inside o…

Black ops 2 brought in the feature to give weapons a random attachment, but made it only work on 2025 weapons for canon's sake. Seriously screw that, in the next game pap should respin any gun, and you should be able to choose your attachments. For example: Press X then A for acog, X then B for rapid fire, X twice for no attachment, and X then Y for reflex. That was just an example, and i dont think it should outright tell you, so you have to experiment to see what each weapon gets from which button. Furthermore I feel like the pap on its own is great... Until about round 30. And i know loads of people feel the same way, so some sort of machine or way to upgrade furt…

I discovered this and don't think anyone else has before, and it seems pretty important as a clue. The black blob in the catalog from the DICE talk background is a Flesh Eating Venus Fly Trap. The text says "FLESH EATING. Plants that will eat you? ? Larger ? and beautiful. 5454 Plants $1.50" And the number of it in the catalog, #5454, is the same number that is written on the torn out order form from the Moon loading screen. The Flesh Eating venus fly trap is one of the items ordered. They ordered 2 of them, item #5454, for $1.50 each! But they tore it off, as if they changed their mind about that item? Then it's put back in place on th…
