Video just uploaded of the cutscene here:

The way I see it, the Keepers are fraction of the Vril-ya. There are good factions and bad factions of the Vril-ya, with stories and lore for each, so I've always taken the Keepers as a good Vril-ya faction.

Awesome! Yeah I think snipers will be the key for these.

I am completely unsure who is in the tomb, to be honest. I usually don't theorize on it since I'm sure we'll find out by the end of the week. That being said, I love hearing theories. Who're you thinking?

I have no idea, I only have that. I'm sorry D:

Really? It looks like an Asian language, to me.

I also saw someone on Reddit post this:

Higher quality image for ya:

I stick by what I've always said, and that's no Moon remake. This made it even clearer to me. They'll explain events through radios and ciphers and stuff so I don't see a need to go back, especially when it all sounds so similar to previous timelines. If they were going to remake Moon, imo, it'd have be one huge ass map with new areas, and I don't see it happening (inb4 someone says next gen).

It's the pacific island mentioned by the reporter in the radio, the coordinates on the Shadows of Evil note, and likely hinted at by the Der Eisendrache island cipher.

It does, Griffin Station is alive and well and functioning with an MPD nonetheless.

In TranZit, we found a magazine rack in the bus depot that was full of magazines. One of them was of Birder Monthley, which you can see below (along with the enhanced version). Well, in Der Eisendrache, we now have the original painting (image provided by @Schrödinger): It may not have as much true meaning as other things, but I think it's interesting nonetheless because it's the little things connecting like this that I love!

I have yet to see any reports of one. Because he seems to be traveling from dimension to dimension on that plane, with no aid of teleporter. I agree it likely isn't him, but technically he seems to fit the description.

haha didn't know about that one, I'll change the title :p But, for anyone who cares, @BlindBusDrivr and I whipped up the script last night, so that's in OP now!

Hey guys, Tac here and I first want to say congrats to everyone in the community for a great first day. The final one is a homophonic substitution cipher but combined with sleep deprivation and a lack of knowledge in cryptology, I just can't make sense of it. Gentle if this is way off base, but I feel like I'm missing the ciphertext to actually map the numbers to, or something. Can anyone help?

How do you explain the letter, then?

The quote is "He told me that when he was a boy, his uncle would get drunk and start talking about how a 'dark ..." yada yada. That's the only mention of the uncle (who is the only relation to alcohol), so I don't think it is him. Would have been nice to have that answered though!

Because there's alcohol?

I know it may be a bit late for this, but I did already create a discussion thread over this mysterious person ;) I believe it's M, too. It makes sense in context with the M cipher. Are you referring to the fruit vendor's drunken uncle from his childhood?

There's already a thread for discussing map feedback ;)

Some people will believe this, and some people won't, but Treyarch looks to the community for some guidance to what they do. Places like Reddit, CoDz, and YouTube are all searched by their staff, so a feedback thread is exactly what I think we need. What are some of the best/worst things you guys are finding about the map?

Great update man; research pays off folks!

As usual (since I just don't care), I don't stay away from spoilers, so I've seen it all haha. I agree, I don't even enjoy playing zombies and this map has me hype.
