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.

A little disappointed this sub forum isn't seeing as much traffic as it could. We know Treyarch look to forums for ideas. If you did not like BO2 Zombies, than post your ideas and threads on what you think should improve and stuff in this sub-forum. Now is the perfect time to post these ideas, they will be developing and forming ideas. You're ideas can help create and form the zombies experience you want. You have to voice your opinion to have it heard, because it's not just going to magically appear in game what you want if you keep quiet. I guess that's all I wanted to say. Just post your ideas and feedback if you want them heard, constructively of course. And yea…

So Treyarch has now a whole year more time to develop their game and we have hope they will not ship with as half assed map as the Tranzit was. Here is what I think we need and deserve from the next installment of zombies. New engine. Honestly if they don't ditch that dusty idTech 3 egine by the year 2015 they shall be damned. And Treyach should develop the game ONLY to PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. We do not want the experience to be hindered by 10 year old consoles. If Activision wants to still support them there would need to be another studio making the old console versions. Map design, Black Ops II showed us bigger is definetly not better. Zombies became…

Hi CoDz! I was just wondering what weapons from CoD Ghosts you would like to see implemented into the next zombies installment? I ask because of the few that were brought back in BO2, namely the Barrett, RPD and MP5 (I know it was in BO1 zombies, but it was the MW3 model). A few of the weapons I would like to see in zombies from Ghosts: Chainsaw: This hip-fire only weapon is super fun to use in Extinction, and I feel it would be twice as fun in zombies (since, you know, its zombies). Pack-a-Punched, I could see this gun have a clip size of 100, with a reserve of 200, along with rapid fire and the retaining of its assault rifle mobility. Could be called the Shackleslicer…

For the final map you should make it a Time Travel map. You go to all the different maps from WaW to all the new maps in Bo3. All the Guns are on that map and all the Wonder Weapons and all the perks. You can also merge all the Wonder weapons together to make the Ultimate Wonder weapon(everybody can have it). Zombie Challenges! - Complete a certain Challenge and call in a Panzer Soldat or something. The Soldat helps you for 5 rounds. - Other things that you can do for Challenges is you can call in maybe an Alien from Extinction to Help you. And if you are unable to complete the challenge Some(NOT ALOT) Aliens attack you and your team. - Some easy challenges are …

I was watching some Skyrim mods a few days ago and an idea popped into my head, and I wanted to share to see what you all though about it. In the video, a very talented player had created an arena, he would pit in game enemies against each other. The winner could carry on to the next round until he eventually met something that killed him, which that winner would go on ect ect. The idea was, what if there was a mode where we could pit say...40 zombies against a Panzer soldat, or Hell hounds VS Jumping Jacks? They system being, all start with full health, none of the monsters are controlled by players. The rounds carry over like they would in a regular zombie…

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…

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 …

So lysis being my first post, I've been spitballing all sorts of ideas of what to post. Lately I've been going back playing all of the old zombie maps, WAW and BO, and I've come up with the map idea. We could take our top 6 zombie maps and combine them all into one, and set them into different regions, and have roads connecting them like the way tranzit does. In each region, the weather changes and different special zombies. Say we pick shangri-la, we would face shriekers and napalm zombies.

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 )

With Black Ops 2 the community was quite divided about the Black Ops 2 it was pretty much love it or hate it game. For me it was latter in both story and game design choices. But this thread is not about BO2 but about the future of zombies. Do you care anymore? Do you hope it goes the path BO2 chose? Do you wish for it to return more to its roots?

This post is probably going to be looong, so please bear with me. Timezone: Same as moon, but time travel is also included (for the easter egg) Where: An Ancient Egyptian pyramid. Zombies: Mummy zombies! Who: This is the interesting part, I have an idea for a totally new group, for now, I'll call them 'GWCC group'. A little bit of background story for them. The group are part of an Allies secret service group. The four characters are: Dr. Gavrel Grunwald- a slightly loopy Jewish scientist. Seems to know far too much about everything(scientific and esoteric) and always has a strange air of deja vu about him. Vincent Walker- a British secret …

Ok this has been a thought that has been floating in my mind and I wanted to write it down here. I was thinking about a time travel map. How it works is that you start out in Nacht Der Untoten and go through up until Origins. It has no impact on the storyline at all, it's just for fun. Lets say at round twenty your screen looks like something like the transporter form Der Reise and you spawn in Verruct and you play off from round twenty till round forty and you transport to the next map.

I had an idea a while back, but didn't post it on codz. Does anyone remember Timesplitters 2? For anyone who doesn't, it was a really really good fps, made by part of the team that made Goldeneye for the N64. At the end of each game, you used to get trophies, they were mostly comical, 'cowardly' for someone who kept running away, 'hypochondriac' for someone who would keep picking up health, even if they weren't that injured etc. Then there were normal ones too, 'most deadly' for the person with the most kills and 'most headshots' for the obvious. What if in the next zombies game there was something similar. A selection of awards/trophies/medals for things you…

This thread is just something I'm going to be working on indefinitely, just going to post ideas here that don't deserve a thread of their own. Just comment and tell me if you like them or not. Perks: Tele Port Cost: 3500 Use: While you have this perk, each round you will gain what is called a "Marker". You can only have 1 Marker at a time. These points go to the down button on the D-Pad, where you can Use them to place a marker. Once you have placed a marker it will stay for the duration of the game, however you can only have one in use at a time. When you go down with a Marker placed, when you are revived or bleed out, you will appear at the Marker. This will c…

Hey Guys, I have seen a few guys and gals talking about having content as part of DLCs. Guns and stuff. I can't stress how strongly that this is a bad idea. Zombies mode is meant to be simple. Each and every game you start the same way. There should be no way of starting with anything extra, be it via a purchased weapon or as a result of your ranking. The point is that a brand new player, can get to rank 1. If you start introducing different weapons for those that spend, that just goes out the window. If you introduce this, you will ruin zombies for multiple people. Unless it's done within custom matches, maybe that would be fine. I have friends …

So I'm surprised to see no threads regarding the robot zombies in CoD Online. I realize it's only in China, though knowing Activision and their love of making money, I reckon it's only a matter of when we'll get robot zombies. I mean, I know it's just NDU and Verruckt reskinned(With perks added to Nacht) and zombies replaced by zombified terminators. Still though, it feels fresh and it looks pretty cool too. Also introduces 4 new characters, unfamiliar with the names at the moment. All they would have to do is remove the 12 round max obviously since 12 rounds is much too short. For those wondering why China has robot zombies as opposed to actual zombies like we h…

The Editor, A friend of mine and myself made a Zombies map idea. When we were discussing it, we both decided that I would provide some story elements to his discussion, with his own story elements in it as well. Meaning, I don't agree on everything he says in the video- especially the Orgones part. But it really did turn out to be a good map idea. Fairly simple actually if you think about it. It was made last year and didn't come around to thinking of sharing it with you guys until this morning. This idea takes place in year 2459, humanity is nearing extinction with the dead stalking their nights. Some people are set to the Cocoons; blocking off their knowledge of wh…

So while zombies is out of season, I decided to give Ghosts a try. I wasn't too impressed with the campaign and multiplayer didn't interest me. Extinction however, is a different story. I played it a few times and wasn't very good but as I kept going and going I started to absolutely love it. It has that zombies survival feel with a mix of interesting challenges and objectives that keeps the game from getting boring and repetitive. Playing all of this Extinction made me think an awful lot about zombies and how what Extinction is doing right could easily work in zombies. So I'd like to break down a few things I think zombies could learn from Extinction. AI: The first …
