I have a strange suspicion that the "Zombie Blood" vials that Richtofen is carrying play a larger role. In the trailer Takeo says "The future hangs by a thread, you must awaken the test subjects" but then you hear the undead rushing towards them and Richtofen activating the teleporter and causing the Origins characters to arrive and "change history" as Nikolai says. What test subjects could Takeo have been referring to? Did Richtofen perfect his mind-kontrol program over his test subjects. What are the origin characters doing at Der Riese? Are they trying to stop the original Richtofen from gathering the items he needed to take control on the Moon? Or are they there with the vials of zombie blood to manufacture some sort of "cure", after all we know that the zombie blood makes you "invisible" to these zombies.

This looks like it has the potential to be one of the most entertaining maps from Treyarch, I really like the theme going on here. As for the storyline connections, I agree with Nightmare Voyager, I think these four new characters each tie into the 4 prisoners at Alcatraz in some way. Billy's mom was a prostitute and could have known the Femme Fatale and the Cop from joining the mob later. Sal was a mob boss so he could have easily used The Cop to do a lot of shady things. The weasel could have been friends with The Magician tricking people and what not. As for Finn he could have known the boxer, fighting and gambling did go together quite well. The only issue is that this is set about 10 years after Alcatraz. But I definitely think that they will be sticking with the theme of "paying for your sins" and it looks like these four characters have done a lot of evil things in the past. Maybe we will get another "afterlife" theme like we did in MOTD? Looks like it will be a fun time. EDIT: Also, that poster we got as a teaser awhile back had Chicago's skyline, Sal's Mob was based in Chicago, I know this is set in a fictional city, but it's just another connection to go off of.

stage two would require a method of control that would work after a large nuclear explosion, perhaps even containing element 115 and releasing large electromagnetic pulses. During the Cold War the United States and Russia set up radio frequency towers that would work in the case of a nuclear emergency, this conspiracy website claims it operates in conjunction with HAARP, they are called GWEN towers: http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/scalar_tech/esp_scalartech04.htm Just some more interesting research here

hmm, some interesting stuff: http://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/ciencia/ciencia_transhumanism37.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macy_conferences#Cybernetics_Conferences http://bcl.ece.illinois.edu/nervecenter.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vannevar_Bush#Memex_concept Many of the cybernetics researchers worked in Chicago and the Urbana-Champaign university nearby on cybernetic technology. Many of the participants of the Macy Conferences went on to work in MKULTRA for the CIA shortly after World War II... Also "Hearing voices" an article published in 1995 about CIA using radio transmissions for control of the mind. This part is particularly interesting: "According to the brochure, the CIA’s cybernetic technique, “based on Eastern European research,” involved beaming information via radio frequencies to individual human nerve cells. The purpose, the directive stated, was “the enhancement of a subject’s mental and physical performance.” Also, the article mentions Delgado from the Der Riese chalkboard. Here is an excerpt about Jose Delgado: "Doctor José Delgado—whose current work with radio waves was underwritten by the CIA and Navy—believed scientists could transform, shape, direct and robotize humankind. “The great danger of the future,” Delgado warned, “is that we will have robotized human beings who are not aware that they have been robotized.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23pXqY3X6c8

http://blackopstiger.weebly.com/ I've gathered all of the snapchats and the text from the website in one place. I also have the terminal info, GKNOVA documents, Easter Egg songs up. The site it only a day and a half old. I plan on adding all of the content from all of the virals to the website, and eventually any helpful easter egg info, and of course organizing everything better. Just a resource for the community to use freely

" After LA’s attacks, the technological arms race hit its highest gear, with everyone who signed the Winslow Accords installing a D.E.A.D. system beside their most strategically significant sites—high-value buildings, airports, stadiums. Overnight, defense systems sprouted like dandelions, the metal towers blooming like weeds popping between slabs of sidewalk" We now know that the metal towers referenced drone defense systems in cities, something about a Winslow Accord bringing about a technological arms race. “So. How about these superstorms? Hear the next one’s approaching Tokyo?” Something about superstorms, indicating possible weather modification, another alleged conspiracy for the use of HAARP. We also learn about the Coalescence Corporation and their business in consumer augmentation in the future. "The incident" is also referenced, saying 100,000 died on the first day. Lots of interesting stuff here, for some reason I feel like the Coalescence Corporation won't be a good guy in this scenario.

Hudson was a psychology major, according to his bio in black ops.

If 87 has any relevance to my theory 2-3 years ago, I would be surprised, but Treyarch is made of em' so who knows. This is a long post, I’m sorry. Basically the first connection to the number 87 we got was with the Viral Document dump with the GKNOVA Docs for Black Ops, in this image: Which translated to ""From a part we may judge of the whole. MKULTRA. Bluebird. Artichoke. The past, the truth. Blome Brought the evil. Someone hid it. God vs god. Believe in the Welteis and the dead start walking. Power. German knowledge. Beware of the Black Sun. Search the truth. It is still there. Son of the HUD. Four letters. Building 87. Clean the world in a manner which is honorable." This strange poem or string of sentences has many meanings that went with the image, put the PARTS that are indicated, connect to the WHOLE, whatever this means. We recognize MKULTRA, Bluebird, and artichoke as programs that were used to brainwash/program subjects during the cold war, as a result of Operation Paperclip (nazi scientists) findings. This is the past and it is true. Blome is referenced, this is Kurt Blome. His name was on this Der Riese image in World at War: Dr. K. Blome is written in the lower left with The Parteiadler and SS Stamps in the lower right, so this was most likely a highly classified project, perhaps with Group 935. The German in the top left translates roughly to “As Soon as __?__ clotting out on shall, comes the __?__ to live back” and on the bottom “Brain of the _?_ _?_ ?” I could use some help with this, but essentially what I am getting from this poster is that doctor Kurt Blome was called into look at the reanimated corpses Group 935 discovered and took notes on them. Kurt Blome also worked on vaccines and experimented on humans, particularly in mental institutions, which makes me think perhaps he experimented in Verruckt, maybe explaining why there are staples on some zombies heads there, experimenting with the brains. But anyway that is the reference to Kurt Blome, I’m not 100% sure what the evil is, but it could very easily be the GKNOVA gas, considering he was hired by the U.S. in 1951 after being interview at Camp David and worked on chemical warfare projects on secret projects, so the "evil" that was brought and hidden could easily be the NOVA gas. Another interesting connection with Blome is the allegation that he met with Frank Olson in Germany and was eventually killed after being involved with MKULTRA and the CIA's attempt to create a Manchurian candidate, some interesting covert history there. http://www.serendipity.li/cia/olson2.htm The next part references God vs God which can be interpreted in many ways, Richtofen vs Maxis perhaps? Believe in the Welteis is a reference to the World Ice Theory, which I have a theory for the connection but won’t go into detail, I posted a short theory about it’s connection in another thread. Power and German Knowledge reference GK and the Nova gas, Power may just be a reference to the Power over zombies or Element 115 in general. Beware of the Black Sun is explained in the picture, Samantha was trapped in a pyramid on the moon, so the “Black Sun” aside from the nazi symbolism is symbolizing the power to control the zombies. The next part is where it gets interesting, confusing, and where nobody really was able to solve this portion. “Search the truth” or the past as referenced earlier “It is still there”. Son of the Hud, we believed to reference Hudson (Perhaps the storyline will be tied into zombies somehow?) Four Letters, nobody knows we think this stood for NOVA and connected with the German Knowledge referenced earlier (GKNOVA, perhaps this was what Blome brought and hid, Kurt Blome was known for experimenting with chemical and biological warfare in concentration camps) Then comes Building 87, which is referenced in the actual game only one time, on the side of the “VRIL” gun in Call of the Dead: I believe this cryptic poem was referencing this gun, powered by Element 115. This is the “87” that was supposed to be built, to “clean the world in a manner which is honorable” by reversing the effects of zombification. Perhaps “87” is just a code-word for a larger weapon to reverse zombification, perhaps a nuclear warhead with the technology used in this gun? Just a theory. How mind control connects to Kurt Blome, World Ice Theory, The Black Sun, GKNOVA, and Hudson remains to be seen. People were saying that Hudson looked like the Unmarked man, maybe he is, and maybe he will provide a link between the campaign and Zombies, if there is to be one, but anyway, that’s what I had on The number 87, any criticism or just calling me plain crazy is appreciated However, I don't think they are giving us anything related to zombies right now, I'm sure it is all campaign related as it has been in the past with these virals, maybe we will find out more on Sunday.

​"Listen only to the sound of my voice" "Enhance yours" and referencing towers popping up between sidewalks (cell phone or radio towers in cities) makes me think that with this being set in the future, society will have accepted brain implants, developed from technology we saw in Black Ops 1, but the public doesn't know this, because it was a black operation. "Enhance yours" could certainly be a subliminal message encoded in the sound of his voice sent to the people with brain implants, to control the public, even the soldiers of another nation, to enhance their body, mind, etc. with more devices and cybernetics that can be used to control the mind and body. Just a theory, but that's where I think this campaign viral is headed, could be zombies, but like others have said they usually don't reveal much if at all about zombies until right before the game is out. Traditionally Campaign/Storyline of the game is revealed around E3 time, then multiplayer details, then around October Zombies details, but they could be trying something different this time, you never know

Perhaps Unmarked is referring to lack of a tattoo? Maybe he was apart of something that required a tattoo, similar to Frank Woods?

For some reason I feel like I have seen a documentary about MK-ULTRA that used footage seen in Clip#14, I'll look around for it, it seems familiar, maybe a documentary about Ewen Cameron or something similar? The reported symptoms in clip#14 are all related to brain tumors, or implants in this case. Also, this looks a lot like the surgical implants given to patients during the attempt to create a "Manchurian candidate" that the CIA did during the Cold War with MKULTRA, Bluebird, Artichoke, etc. We know that Black Ops 1 was basically all about playing as a Manchurian Candidate, with the numbers being the controlling factor affecting the psychology of the subject. I guess the question we should try and answer is, is this more of the backstory on the brainwashing done on Alex Mason, is it more backstory on the Group 935 (The Nazi) attempt on mind control, or is it both, bringing the two together through Operation Paperclip or some other unknown connection? Not sure how a zombie/campaign crossover would work, personally I think they should stay separate but it would be kind of cool to have a overlap.

This is VERY exciting. It's about that time of year where the next Call of Duty is almost revealed and Treyarch is always the best with teasing their games IMO. Very interesting viral marketing idea here, definitely cryptic and without an immediate reason or answer to what they are doing, and it's exactly why I love Treyarch, here's to hoping we get some hints on Zombies soon.

Not sure how relevant this is anymore, but back when Der Riese came out, Nikola Tesla was connected to the chalkboards there. Ended up drawing connections to the VRIL, radio tower mind control with HAARP, Tunguska (possible discovery/origin of 115?), and more. http://www.callofdutyzombies.com/forum/index.php/topic/172153-tesla-haarp-for-mind-control-tunguska-event/page-2

I'm not sure if anyone had brought this up yet, but in the cutscene it looks like Samantha is filming this cutscene on a handheld camera, notice how she puts it down. This kind of device did not exist until near modern times... I don't think we've seen the last of these "handheld camera" custscenes. I think they may just be the backbone to the next series of maps... or storyline in a game... but one can only dream.

I'm sure there are many people who would love for Treyarch to come out and tell us what they are thinking or give us indicators about what certain things mean...but i'm not one of them... and here's why. If Treyarch's team that has been working on zombies for years now just decided to throw away the mystery and tell us the solid facts about how and why things happen in the storyline, what's the point of even having a community like CoDZ? The fact that they are so silent, secretive, yet creative in their storytelling is what makes this community and fanbase unique from any other. It keeps us fighting, collaborating, seeking and finding, teaching and learning. The simple fact that Treyarch still hasn't spoken a single truth about the Zombies storyline outside of the game is what makes me so sure that this isn't the end. The game speaks for Treyarch, we speak for the story.

I posted this in the "Letters" thread over a week ago: Remember Samantha's room in Kino? WAAAAY back then. Remember the original four as "dolls" set up around a "playset" with the teddy bear staring at them. That was in Samantha's "Normal" room. In the "demonized" room the characters were gone and everything was messed up. Also, remember the lullaby in Der Reise way back in WaW? What if what we are playing, experiencing, is all part of a narration, a story as told by Samantha. It all began when she wanted to "play a game"... Just a possibility though... viewtopic.php?p=327538#p327538 It wasn't exactly correct but I think that we do need to look into Samantha's role as the story teller and who or what she represents in the big scheme of it all... I don't think the story is done with, and I really hope it isn't but after playing origins I wouldn't even be mad, although I will be sad if this is truly the end of the saga.

Read through this thread here: viewtopic.php?f=136&t=25350 Group 601 is completely relevant to the storyline. It's discovery led me to predict that their were actual towers or nodes controlling the zombies and that someone or something was controlling them through this setup way back when Black Ops was launched, back when Kino Der Toten was the newest map. Also remember the quote on the side of the mainframe at Der Riese. Embrace the trinity and true power will be yours. Most people thought that meant linking the teleporters together well.. it did. But it ALSO has a deeper meaning, there are 3 towers or nodes that need to be activated for Richtofen or Maxis to gain power. (as we now know from the Black Ops II DLC) We've had all of the storyline's main information this whole time, you just have to read deeper into everything, because that's just how Treyarch is with this stuff, learned that a long time ago

Let's take a moment and break the ice So my intentions are known See I have pity in watching you suffer I know the feeling of being drowned* alone I got a story for you of my own We know that in the past many of the songs came from Samanthas point of view. I am starting to think more and more that we have been "dolls" "playing" in Samantha's story of what was, is, and will be. In other words we are in an infinite loop and Samantha is explaining how it got this way. She wants to introduce herself and say that she is sorry for watching the "characters we play as" suffer in this story, she knows the feeling of being drowned or downed alone. Like the time she thought her father was dead and was stuck in the MPD... She has a story for us and it begins in origins... I believe we've already played through the rest of her story already... Just look at the rest of the lyrics... Now you know I am your pride, agent of will, bearer of needs. (And you know what's right) I am your war, I'm in strong, Aiming the weak. Know me by name, Shepherd of fire! Samantha is the Bearer of needs (powerups in Der Riese and telling story) She is the war, the story she tells is about the "war" (or basically all of the zombies maps and storyline we have played). She is in "strong" as the teller of the story, aiming the "Weak" or the elements of the story. Know me by name, shepered of fire. The dictionary definition for sheperd (the non-sheep one) is a person who protects, guides, or watches over a person or group of people. Samantha is watching over the story, telling it from a GOD point of view, we just didn't know that yet.... or did we. But now she is re-introducing herself to tell us what is REALLY going on in the story, and how it started...

Remember Samantha's room in Kino? WAAAAY back then. Remember the original four as "dolls" set up around a "playset" with the teddy bear staring at them. That was in Samantha's "Normal" room. In the "demonized" room the characters were gone and everything was messed up. Also, remember the lullaby in Der Reise way back in WaW? What if what we are playing, experiencing, is all part of a narration, a story as told by Samantha. It all began when she wanted to "play a game"... Just a possibility though...

I don't think there is any separate deeper meaning in "We were there in the beginning we will be there in the end." Nacht was the beginning, take a look at the trailer, it looks like at some point they show a building that looks eerily similar to Nacht. Perhaps teleported there, a time loop, a paradox? Or Nacht is actually located in Northern France. It began in Nacht, will it end their too?

The time period and "introduction" of Element 115 here lends more credence to the theory that I have had since World at War. That Nikola Tesla's test of the Wardenclyffe tower created the Tunguska Explosion and introduced Element 115. World War 1 starts and the tower is "abandoned and broken into"... I'm just glad we are finally back to the four original characters. Started to hate all of the new characters they were never as strong and as developed and memorable as these four are.

Nazi "Prison/Concentration camp" Glider Escape at Colditz Castle http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/naziprison/glider.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colditz_Castle Perhaps there is a connection to be made here with Group 935, after all this is before World War II and all, so we think... Can't wait for this easter egg. I didn't like the last map so much, but hopefully this one will be like Der Riese or Moon, my two favorite. Any of the originals from WaW are also great.

Am I the only one that thinks that afterlife symbol looks similar to the VRIL spacecraft drawings? Just Google Tesla and vril and it's one of the first images to come up. Nikola Tesla's technology has been behind nearly everything at Der Riese ad more, wouldn't be surprised to see more of his technology come up, especially since he can be linked to the towers and everything being used now to control the zombies, I think the Vril and Tesla have a larger role in this story than a lot of us are realizing.

Has anyone considered the possibility that with using time travel and teleportation all the time that seperate "dimensions" of reality or "timelines of history" have been created. Might explain how people said they were seeing "Pangea" when the earth was blown up, how the zombies were created in WWII era, yet existed in prohibition era, etc. Just another way of looking at things. I mean whenever you take into account traveling through space and time, look at some works of fiction where time travel, etc. is used, alternate realities are common. I think Treyarch is messing with us a little...
