Sadly I have had a HDD failure on my primary laptop, so many zombie files gone... I'm more pissed off that we have lost a load of family videos. :x I've learned today that backing up is a must... If in doubt do it now. Regards Alpha.

Now it is ultimate staff theft. Three of us, I did all the work for the staff pieces this time, Every piece aside from the LPs. Did the wind puzzle, placed it to charge up, did most of the killing, just as I go to grab it, one of the other players steals it & runs off... I'll not bother next match. Regards Alpha.

Exactly what I was thinking in the last game I played, the church is by far the best place. Without the tank there that place is massive for training. Add in the shield & you can just rinse & repeat if points are not an issue, your golden. @XLORDXSITHX I'll add you next time I'm online. Hope to see you in the field soldier. Regards Alpha.

Amazing research MixMasterNut, I'm glad you decided to post this. Shocking comes to mind. Poor little critters. Can you imagine how that feels? To be strapped into a chair & blasted into space without ever really knowing what the hell is happening to you. Sounds like a complete nightmare. All in the name of science, eh. Great thread MMN. Regards Alpha.

In Egyptian mythology, Sekhmet /ˈsɛkˌmɛt/[1] or Sachmis (/ˈsækmɨs/; also spelled Sakhmet, Sekhet, or Sakhet, among other spellings) was originally the warrior goddess as well as goddess of healing for Upper Egypt. She is depicted as a lioness, the fiercest hunter known to the Egyptians. It was said that her breath formed the desert. She was seen as the protector of the pharaohs and led them in warfare. Her cult was so dominant in the culture that when the first pharaoh of the twelfth dynasty, Amenemhat I, moved the capital of Egypt to Itjtawy, the centre for her cult was moved as well. Religion, the royal lineage, and the authority to govern were intrinsically interwoven in Ancient Egypt during its approximately three millennia of existence. Sekhmet also is a Solar deity, sometimes called the daughter of the sun god Ra and often associated with the goddesses Hathor and Bast. She bears the Solar disk and the uraeus which associates her with Wadjet and royalty. With these associations she can be construed as being a divine arbiter of the goddess Ma'at (Justice, or Order) in the Judgment Hall of Osiris, associating her with the Wedjat (later the Eye of Ra), and connecting her with Tefnut as well. vigour US, vigor [ˈvɪgə] n 1. exuberant and resilient strength of body or mind; vitality 2. substantial effective energy or force the vigour of the tempest 3. forcefulness; intensity the vigour of her complaints 4. (Life Sciences & Allied Applications / Biology) the capacity for survival or strong healthy growth in a plant or animal hybrid vigour 5. the most active period or stage of life, manhood, etc.; prime 6. (Law) Chiefly US legal force or effectiveness; validity (esp in the phrase in vigour) [from Old French vigeur, from Latin vigor activity, from vigēre to be lively] .... The name is what I think is interesting as it gives us a lead to ancient Egypt. There could be more to this idea that Sekhmet's Vigor could unlock something within the map itself. I'll be sure to try it out on everything when I get the chance. Regards Alpha.

I don't think it is a black sun gk. Also I think the staff is just getting in the way of the one on Takeo. Still nice to see a whole image like this. What interests me is the sky line of the ancient city in the back ground. Rome or Jerusalem? Regards Alpha.

The Templar knights are the ones in the mound & entrances to the crazy place. (Blue eyes) The ones that attack the generators & live in the crazy place are Agarthian Knights. (Purple eyes) Sorry just wanted to put my two pence worth in here. Regards Alpha.

Can you not macgyver a good one from the busted ones? Regards Alpha.

LP1 n 1. (Music, other) a. a long-playing gramophone record: usually one 12 inches (30 cm) or 10 inches (25 cm) in diameter, designed to rotate at 33⅓ revolutions per minute Compare EP We should just call them LP's. Sooo much easier. That said, these maps are a boon. Great stuff, have some phantom brainzzzz. Regards Alpha.

WTF, well you see something new every day here at Codz. Deal with it. Regards Alpha.

Count me in, if you see me online send me a message & I'll be there. Regards Alpha.

I agree, the only reason I want any staff is to do the puzzles, If It was just for getting to high rounds I wouldn't be bothered so much. This guy used all the ammo in the staff & takes the next. I get there & no ammo to complete the step. Given how random things can be with a bunch of randoms, I really don't know why I even try. So, I think I'll just wait until I can get a good team from here to help old snake get some trophies. Regards Alpha.

Its ok, just a matter of time before they give in. I actually like swatting those threads. :twisted: It becomes a blood sport of sorts. Regards Alpha.

Not for long. All gone. IP banned. I know who you are... I will find you. I will smack you up side the head with the ban hammer every time. Regards Alpha.

I'LL add you next time I'm online Chop. Great vids as always. Regards Alpha.

The same happened again tonight. Several times I was left with the ice or lightning staffs as they appear to be the last to be thought about. I was also called a noob & shite player because I don't have the double shot guns. The very same player left the match cause a host migration which destroyed the game, your a true pro arn't you. I really need a Codz team. Met a few good players. Regards Alpha.

Just WTF, they wait for you to get the parts then boom they steal the last part of the staff. I've just played with four randoms & they stole them all. First I did all the robots for the wind staff, even picking up the disk, someone is waiting in the wind crazy place to grab the crystal, he runs to the mound & grabs the staff, I thought ok no problem I'll go for fire. I shot the plane again grab the disk from gen 6. Same shit again, they grab the crystal & my fire staff is now his. I would have gone for the Ice & Lightning staffs but why bother when you know there are people like this just waiting for you to do the hard work only to screw you over. So any one else had this? Regards Alpha.

I tweeted Rez about it, I asked for clarification & directed him here. Fingers crossed, but don't hold your breath for a straight answer. :cry: Regards Alpha.

Hello & welcome to codz. May your stay be forever. :twisted: There is no turning back now. Regards Alpha.

Hmmm, I'm doubting myself a little on this one now. Maybe it is our Sam. I don't know, there is just something I can't put my finger on. She just seems to know too much for just having been trapped in the Pyramid. Is the knowledge gained over time or is it like a matrix upload? The seal also bothers me. Did the ancients go to all the trouble of sealing poor little Samantha inside the tomb that sits below the seal? I think that this early on in Sam's story she may not be fully in control of herself. I think maybe the entity is at it's strongest in terms of the influence it has over Sam. Then over time Sam gets mentally stronger being able to take back control. Just for the sake of my own sanity, let me recap this. The paradox starts in Der Riese 1945? Right. Sam get transported to Moon & trapped in the pyramid. At this point she becomes non linear in the timeline, having access to anywhere there is 115 (So it appears, also could be down to where ever or whenever a teleporter node is present Ancient or otherwise). So with this power Sam takes herself to 1918 finds her dad, drives him insane to the point of almost dying. Enough that a young Richtofen had to remove his brain to save his mind. SO, the paradox should be broken right here, but it isn't. With Maxis' brain in the Maxis drone which then flew into the Aether. The cycle should be broken if that is the case. As we now have both Sam & Maxis in Aether the events of Der Riese will not come to pass. This means no rocket attack from the Moon on Earth. Everything from Nacht to Buried is contained within the now redundant timeline that is WAW, BOZ & BOIIZ. The only exception is Mob of the Dead due to it happening before 1945, yet even MOTD isn't happening in what would be reality, I truly believe that MOTD is hell incarnate for the MOTD crew. So back to origins then. From what we know Maxis is back at work in Der Riese/Verruckt/Kino Sam is playing in her room telling the story of Origins to Eddie. As per the ending. For this to be happening Maxis had to return to the real world in order to father Sam. He would then have had to tell her in great detail the story of Origins... The big question this raises is, did Maxis tell Sam of her future self? Again I problems here, the only way for this to be happening is for Maxis to have been successful in saving Sam from the Aether. Where did she go to from there? Back to her old body trapped on the Moon? Which I might add has been destroyed as per the asteroid field orbiting the Earth in the Zombies menu for BOIIZ. ......... Great post Pinnaz. A few pieces fell into place thanks to your contributions here, thank you for the info. So far I've seen a Teutonic knight & Templar in the tunnels & the mound. The mound dates to around 1350 ad based on the knights we seen in origins. Plus that scroll of the four & the word Primis. Some how I don't think this is the first not by a long shot. Origins = Samantha's Origins, not the zombies. The knights eyes are confirmed 100% blue = Aether Richotfen is back in 1096-1307 ad causing something to happen way back then. The Agarthian Knights eyes are purple like I've said before that puts us way back to around 100bc-100ad & somebody we haven't seen is in control. Right I'll stop rambling on. Regards Alpha.

One of the best threads I've read on Origins tactical & strategic playing. I have taken notes & will be employing as many as possible. Cheers Chopper. Regards Alpha.

I've been banning as many as possible. I can't stand spam. I will continue to crush any threads like that. To those who are posting the crap/spam, please don't waste your time here. Your efforts will be deleted & your account will be banned followed by your Ip being blocked. Ah, to be spam free. Regards Alpha.

That's me in red above. Just give it a little time, the answers will come. Regards Alpha.

This is why I mostly play solo online. Last night five times I started with 4 players then within seconds they left one by one, host migration over & over. Add me if your on PS3. Alpha13snake I never leave a man behind. Well if it won't kill all the team & end the game. No mic atm, but skype chat is a possibility. Regards Alpha.
