Tac

Got college life under control, got the Zombies thirst, expect to see me around for quite some time) Most of you know me and my background, but for those who don't, I'm mainly a theorist! But guess who trying to get into the gameplay side of things

Figuring out the names is a balancing act. We need to find ones that everyone is comfortable using. We've got the debates about Cosmonauts, Gas Zombies, Pentagon Thief, Zombie God, etc., because at the end of the day, we'll be picking and choosing between their actual file names and what we've deemed them to be. We can either choose one, the other , or a combination of the two, but that needs to be decided. Cosmonaut could be Astro-Zombie Pentagon Thief could be Pentagon Technician or based on the file name, Electrician Gas Zombie could be Nova 6 Crawlers, or Gas Crawlers Director could be George A. Romero Cerberus could be Beast Ghost Lady could be Sarah Faraday There's many options, it's a balancing act. In regards to Zombie God, my personal opinion is that we've been throwing around the term Lucifer on the site and they use the term god in the game, so I don't see an issue with using "God of Zombies" given the context, however I can see how it could rub someone the wrong way. I'd like to get multiple people's takes on it who are religious and see how they feel.

Haha it's nice to see my other half again I'll take a read through your thread and I'm sure we'll be crossing paths again soon ;)

They aren't set I don't think, they can be changed if necessary.

Wooh! Can't wait to see you again Covy.

I can make the same argument against "Zombie Overlord" that I did against "Zombie God", I think it's important to switch the two words and place 'of' in between them. Therefore, I don't mind "God of Zombies" or "Overlord of Zombies", but I think the former is more fitting as it displays the true essence of the character to a greater extent. I like the usage of God and Zombies, I just think we had it in the wrong order the whole time and never realized it! :)

One could call it Overlord, Controller of Worlds, or even god if we so felt it necessary. Heck, you could combine some and call it God of Worlds. Any of them are more fitting than Zombie God, in my opinion, but I'm not too worried, we have many options.

There's a second one for Der Riese that I've been particularly interested in finding for a few years, so if you find it, please let me know.

I would like to see the final rank be custom. Rissole really turned me on to the idea of a final perk bottle being Der Wunderfizz, signifying the custom aspect. If we were to do tallies, because they're actually numerical, I'd prefer it to be only for brains. However, it seems like re-hauling the brain mechanics is out of the question, not to mention that would be a lot of tallies (unless roman numerals were done). However, I'll hop on board with this tally talk. Sorry if I have missed this, but if we have the userbars signifying their rank in terms of post count and nothing signifies brains, what would the tallies be signifying?

There's no official title, but that hasn't stopped us before, has it? We've used many different names for in-game things that aren't directly named. Personally, I don't want to see Zombie God because if we're basing it off of characters, which we appear to be, than that's misleading. They don't have to be a Zombie to reach the level of power we're referring. They aren't a Zombie God, they're just a god, so I'd prefer to see something different.

I really like the fonts and images, looks very well done. I think the final one should either be "Announcer" or "Ancient Evil" as opposed to "Zombie God" but that's just me. What're the bottles/perk HUDs/tally's supposed to represent, if implemented?

Thank you! I took a look on my computer and phone and the format seems unchanged, any chance you could tell me where the text is messed up? I'm very confident in this location, now I need to get some more evidence, compile it, and I can add it to my locations thread. I wish I was able to find the teleporter images for Kino, but as Slade said, I think it shows all the same ones with a few extras.

Dr. Kurt Blome and Dr. Friedrich Steiner Before World War II, Dr. Friedrich Steiner did meticulous and frustrating work in chemical weapons, earning several degrees and was thus sought out by the Waffen-SS to work in the Wunderwaffen program. The Führer, Adolf Hitler, realized that the Allies could not be held back much longer, so they called upon Steiner in 1943 to look for more "unconventional" solutions. In that same year, Dr. Kurt Blome, a high-ranking and respected Nazi scientist, was working with the gas known as Sarin. Dr. Friedrich Steiner focused on chemical weapons with the help of Dr. Kurt Blome, the result being the creation of NOVA 6, a deadly toxin that the creator himself, Steiner, was horrified about. In 1947, Dr. Blome was sent to the Nuremburg Trials under the evidence that he was practicing euthanasia and conducting experiments on humans, eventually being acquitted, with both men ending up in peculiar situations. But let's back up. The year is 1943 and the main headquarters for Group 935 is Der Riese. The Nazi's are getting into the chemicals business via GK, a German front company who manufactures the chemical weapons. By September 5th, 1944, the Germans were beginning on version 4 of the 'NOVA project' (as they called it) and the biggest issue with it was "still" stability, but they were also looking into new dispersion methods, using containers for long term storage, switching to human testing as opposed to chimpanzees, and getting a new facility. The chemicals working inside Germany's Nova-6 were Tabun and Sarin, evidenced by this note from Kino Der Toten and GKNOVA6 documents stating the exact symptoms of Sarin. You might be saying that all this is circumstantial, and asking, "Where is Blome ever mentioned in Zombies, did you just pull his name out of thin air?" The answer is no due to a few pieces of evidence. Dr. Blome and Dr. Steiner both started working with chemical weapons in 1943 for the Germans, with Dr. Blome's emphasis on Sarin, which is in the chemical compound that Steiner created. On top of that, in all of the GKNOVA6 documents sent out, Blome's name was on about 10 of them, but I'll get into that in a bit. The largest piece of his evidence comes from a poster in Der Riese (view-able below) that many used to think said Dr. K Blondi, but it actually says Dr. K Blome. Take a look in the bottom left-hand corner: The poster above is in Der Riese and Kino der Toten. Since Blome worked on Sarin, it is understandable why the poster is in the map with crawlers, but why Der Riese you ask? Let us not forget that in the teleporter in Der Riese, images are shown to us of many different things, like a lighthouse and Dr. Richtofen. However, let's take a look in the third row, fourth column. It appears to be an early version of a crawler, which we know weren't around in Der Riese, but it seem they were certainly thought about. Here's an excerpt from the Project Nova intel, followed by an excerpt from another thread: Dr. Steiner realized that Germany was in their final moments of the war, so he gathered his scientists and research to initiate Germany's NOVA6 strike ahead of schedule. They transport everything from Der Riese to the Elbe River and onto a freighter, getting through the North Sea and heading northbound into the Arctic Circle. On October 29, 1945, Kravchenko and Dragovich led the 3rd Shock Army Special Operation Unit in Operation Olympus to get Steiner and NOVA6 from the Arctic Circle and Steiner showed how much of a coward he really was by selling out his men to join the Soviets. In the first paragraph, I mentioned how each man ended up in peculiar situations, so now I'll go back into detail. After selling himself to the Russians to save his life, Dr. Friedrich Steiner was now the lead in the Ascension Group, which had the purpose of pushing Soviet weapons development forward. It was the Soviet resurrection of the German NOVA6 program, organized by Dragovich and housed former Group 935 scientists. While Dr. Steiner fled to the Russians, Dr. Kurt Blome was acquitted in the Nuremburg Trails most likely due to America's intervention, and two months later he was a part of Operation Paperclip as a consult for America's germ warfare program. From there, he likely tells America everything there is to know about the experiments and they eventually begin to work on their own concoction. How do we know that Dr. Blome is the reason the United States knows about NOVA6? In the GKNOVA viral, one document in particular is telling: When translated, notice the sixth sentence (the one regarding Blome): This is the conclusion of my revamped theory showing that Der Riese is located in Ludwigsdorf and was the original NOVA6 test site and the lives behind two of the men that made it happen. I hope you all enjoyed it and learned something and if you believe I made a mistake, or you have something to add, please comment!

TacticalitySqd, I can play a little later

My greatest achievement in Zombies is story instead of gameplay, but it was when I pounded through the history of GK and the Ascension Group, as well as Steiner. Most proud of that to date.

Well done, thank you for picking up the rest of this. I dropped the ball, this'll help me a ton!

Talk about blast from the past, i remember writing the black ops 1 transcripts with you way back when, cheers for the link mate forgot all about it Don't fret it pal, good to see you again :)

I have covered that radio in my transcripts thread, located here: viewtopic.php?f=100&t=11929

I agree. Now, if someone could use high-res captures of every loading screen since WaW and turn them into a virtual or physical comic book... That would be awesome, but I thought the comic wasn't finished yet something about staples half way? The Nuketown loading screen has staples in it, which would imply that it's exactly halfway through the comic.

It's pretty left field hey? They even showed this calender in the millisecond of the preview we got. I commented on a thread then saying the writing translates to ICE, wondering what would that mean? I was thinking something with the new W.W? So for a person who English is a first language, interpret what the Chinese writing means, then convert the letters of said word to numbers? Man, Easter Egg right there. ICE is just so strange on a Calendar? What else would it mean? It's the only reference to Group 935 in all of BO2 zombies isn't it? 9 3 5 I C E Don't forget that THE pass-phrase for a GKNOVA6 cipher was ICE ;)
