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.

After moon we had are answers. Everything we wanted to know was answered (besides hidden things like the blank portraits on kino) and it was done in a beautiful climatic ending. We were all pretty much satisfied besides the cliff hanger. Black Ops 2 created way too much questions. Basically 3 more storylines were implemented and I'll tell you what we should already know by now Storyline 1: The New 4/ Richtofen and Maxis Fued- I'll start off by telling you the whole storyline from Green Run to Buried by the Easter Eggs. Green Run- The Earth is destroyed and we have four new characters we don't care about. They are asked to power a tower for two different people Maxis…

Ok so, in BO2 one of the most gripping things about it's changes to zombies is the change of the dying crawler. In waw or bo1 the crawler could be kept alive indefinantly, even on large maps like moon. I'll admit, it would have been very painful to wait for a crawler to cross the map in tranzit, but as for buried, MOTD, and origins… Why not keep the crawler alive? In die-rise it would be caught on an elevator or stuck on a random floor so it also makes sense, but these 3 maps are different. SO do we want to see the return of the "shoot to kill" crawler, or do we want to have to keep a "full zombie" alive?

SO how do you all think the Mark two will end up come COD 2015? Personally, I see it as an ample opportunity to persuade players to get the hardened editions and other bonus additions, as the M2 would be a great addition to the game that we know players are ok with. Of course there will be other ways of getting the M2 later on… But on the other hand it COULD be left to only be used in BO2…. Never to be seen again….

Alright, so come 2015, what are we getting right off the bat? Are we going to a desert, a carnival, a beach? The dimensional void? Gallifrey? Truth is no one knows for sure… What I'm going to do is take EVERYONE's favorite locations, and form a list of the top 30 places. The top 7 locations I'm going to make map predictions for… Bout time I got back into that saddle… NOW! How this will work is everyone can suggest any type of map. Two people suggest the same map it's added to the list. The more people vote or suggest for that kind of map the higher up the list it goes. Once we reach 30 maps I will give 10 days before voting stops, then c…

So I got thinking after a couple rounds of zombies the other day and and thought of an idea. And as I'm typing this I realized it could either be a simple great idea, or I'll just sound completely retarded because it already exists and I'm out of the loop, OR someone beat me to it. But ya know what? Yolo. One of the things I still to this day don't know how some of you do it is reach these ridiculously high rounds. Not because I can't reach them myself, but because after mid-twenties or so, I've got just about everything you could need to survive and find myself dying of boredom. There's nothing else to do! Come next zombies season, I actually think there's a…

One thing that bothers me in zombies is that there are some weapons that are more or less useless. If you get a war machine you throw it back immediately. I don't like how some guns have next to no redeeming qualities. There should be at least one good reason why you should keep every gun. Now some weapon categories are thoroughly under represented because of this. Although they have some specific uses, nobody is ever begging for a launcher, shotgun, sniper, or pistol. How can we fix this? My idea on how to make these more desireable is to give them stopping power. I don't mean the perk, I mean literally the ability to slow down / stop a zombie in its tracks. Rea…

Hi guys! Just a liitle poll or vote for Treyarch ideas for wall weapons. Support your choice with filling out your opinion on the poll (Do not post up a wonder weapon please. If you do, I will not be happy.) You may post old wall weapons you like to see again but try to come up with ideas for wall weapons that haven't been used already! Let your gun ideas run free!

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.

Big issue of the next game: What kind of weapons do we want? Do we want a plethora of new weapons like in BO2 like the Mtar, the LSAT, the HAMMER and ect. OR do we want to see more of the older weapons like the Hk21, the Thompson, the Double barrel shotgun, ect. OR: Do we want to see re-imagined weapons of the old? Such as an auto-matic Double barrel shotgun, a Multi-drum thompson, and a pressurized PtRs? I like this idea, because now trayarch can host the game in an alternate 1980s style gameplay where weapons were developed differently and different wars had different outcomes.. Like wolfenstein but nazis don't rule the world. Maybe communist? Tell me what …

Everybody loved the original four no doubt but someday we will have to move away from them. Before then we need to tell Treyarch what we want next so they don't ruin the next set of characters. People did not like the New Crew (Though I did) Maybe because they were not well written and maybe because people weren't ready to let go of the others. For now I want you to imagine a clean slate. No story restrictions, no mention of old characters. These are the first in a generation, it is your choice what they will be like and how they will work in a new story. One of the key things I saw when surveying old characters is lack of emotion or reactions. Its a zombie apocalyps…

Hello Despite this being my first post on the Call of Duty Zombies forums I am certainly not new to the zombie’s community, for one reason or another I decided to stay away from CoDz but now I fancied a post mainly due to boredom and nostalgic zombies feelings. Truth be told I really hate any other game in the Call of Duty series that isn’t made by Treyarch. Mainly because they are responsible for zombies but they also seem to be able to make more rounded enjoyable games. Therefore due to the addition of the Sledgehammer Games Call of Duty, creating a new 3 year cycle for COD games, I have been incredibly frustrated and bored having a summer where I don’t have new zom…

Hello there. Throughout the ages of Zombies, many have called for a player limit upwards of 4, the current max for a proper game. I am here to propose a new feature which I believe should be added to the next instalment of zombies, Spectator Mode! What Spectator Mode would allow would be for more than the maximum amount of players for the match to join, but not in play. That is right, they are able to join only to spectate. This way, someone could join simply to observe a game, but not affect it in any way possible. This means that, even if there were 18 people in a game, only the amount for 4p Zombies would spawn. The Spectator Players are not counted as real chara…

Perks, they affect our gameplay, skill, weapons, and overall limit to survive. Each map usually brings in a new perk, some good, some bad (I'm looking at you, Whos-Who) I think us, the community can think of some good ideas. Post your ideas below! Sent from my SCH-S738C using Tapatalk

So we've had the horror icons in Call of the Dead, and the Mobster icons in Mob of the Dead. What would you like to see in the next "...of the dead" installment? Perhaps action heroes like Jean Claude Van damme? Maybe comedy geniuses such as Rob Schneider or Jack Black? Tell me what you think :)

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…

Apparently you can contact Microsoft Support VIA chat and ask them if there is a Call of Duty Zombie Collection coming out for XB1 and they CONFIRM IT giving us a 2014 release year. What the hell is going on ? Do you guys think this is real? Maybe this is suppose to be our "hold over" until 2015 zombies?

Hi, This is going to be a short post and I've been meaning to mention this on here for a while. I'm sure you are all aware of the cycle of events taking place before Origins- and maybe how you all were synced in Origins in the first place. The idea of 'The Loop' was mentioned briefly by the alternate Samantha (making Origins set in a parallel reality, of course) and I've been looking around and I don't see much talk of it. With Zombies in mind, this is really the only aspect of the storyline I talk about, really. By a paradox being rewritten it only comes with consequences. First being in Tranzit where we see an abandoned World War II Bunker; Nacht Der Un Toten. The…

It's official, Sledgehammer Games will be making the next Call of Duty. With that said, Treyarch's game will be releasing next year which means we won't have any new zombies maps for a long time. How do you feel about this decision? I'm trying to be as optimistic as I possibly can in the sense that Treyarch will have another year to complete the next installment to the series, meaning the quality of their content they release should increase. But at the same time, it's going to be rough not having new zombies maps until 2015.

Ley Lines are the subject of today's discussion lady and gentlemen. This is a theory I have developed through research. In order to understand my theory first you must understand Ley. Ley Lines are cracks in the Earths crust that run in straight lines. They are shown to exert a larger magnetic field, and are often believed to hold many uses. For example some believe that if given enough energy, Ley Lines can transport you through time and space. Ley Lines are also shown to link areas of great importance, usually culminating in various points. These points are believed to have more energy than a single Ley as multiple are connecting. These areas are sometimes refer…

Since we're playing the waiting game, we might as well suggest some good ideas for Treyarch. If you had control over how Season 4 began both map-wise and story-line wise, how would it be? What map would you have? How are you gonna advance the story in the new map? Assuming the next chapter will be on just Xbone and PS4, we can be more adventurous with gameplay elements. I'll be editing in my suggestion when I stop procrastinating (which is never ). (My apologies if this kind of thread has been seen a lot.
