Welcome to codz, you look like a great addition!

8 Players is only a good thing, here is why, if zombies can handle 8 players.. then that means that 4 players will run way more smoothly. 8 players comes with new modes, I doubt you have to have a full 8 to play these modes, what about 6 or 5. 5 would be ideal, there is always that one guy left out of zombies. There will clearly be the classic 4 player zombies mode, anyone who thinks there wont be is mistaken. You can continue to play with 3 other randoms if you are not interested in the 8 player aspect. And most importantly, you don't have to play with 7 other people, they are not forcing you to have 8 player zombie games. You can go classic with 4 or do the new modes with 4!! There is only good coming out of the ability to allow 8 players to play.

I think it will just be random people :/ or maybe you will be able to make a character? I don't think it's going to be connected to the whole storyline.

I am absolutely amazed... and I pray this information is true! I love the idea of a story/campaign mode. I knew there was going to be 8 players when they said it could handle 8, why have the ability that so many people want and not use it? Anyway, I think a story mode is amazing for people like me, I personally don't have a good easter egg time, and I am terrible at finding/assisting in eater eggs, only one player in my zombie team knows how. I have always been interested in finding out the storyline if this is real, I would be so happy. I also am so happy there is classic 4 player zombies, and that there is going to be new modes!!

Wow this idea is just.. [brains] for you. This would be awesome. I mean, I don't see a problem with data. Now there is more data for zombies, people play multiplayer for 2 hours+sometimes, its the same as a zombie game, plus they can have a feature where you can lets say have up to 10 recordings. If you have a full 10, you can no longer record your games. You would be able to upload your recordings to youtube through elite. Or straight to elite, download the video and put it in parts to upload to youtube. Then you would remove it from your current recordings.

^I'm pretty sure it was implied, it's kinda like how the future weapons implied it would be in the future but we decided to say it would just be future weapons in the 70s or 80s. While there is flashbacks to the 80s, more than 2/3 of the game will be in 2025. This is just like zombies there will be zombies with 8 players, it just wont be the standard mode. . According to a report by CVG who had a first-hand demonstration of Black Ops 2, Treyarch will use improved multiplayer engine for zombies, handling "a co-op tally double that of Black Opts 1's". "It's a totally different frame of mind when you sitting down to play zombies. It's you and your friends and its coop and it's blasting Zombies....Black Ops II has the most ambitious zombies that we have ever created. If you ask zombies players what they want, they want more zombies. They are going to get that, more game modes and more ways to play it," said Lamia. Why add something that wouldn't be used? The ability to handle up to 8 players, but still put a limit of 4? The standard mode will have a limit of 4. But as it says in those quotes "More game modes and more ways to play it" the various other game modes will be able to hold 8 players. I am not positive if there will be totally separate maps for these modes though. But I can practically guarantee somehow someway you will be able to have 8 player zombies, most likely in special modes.

I would like an option to join a zombie game back you got lagged out of. For example somewhere on the zombie menu would be recent games, and if the game was still progressing you could join back. You would receive the points/guns/perks you had when you disconnected. If you quit, you will join back with a pistol/no perks/ no points. Also with the ability to have 8 players in a zombie game supposedly and different modes, I have some modes to offer up. 8 Players= 2 Teams of 4, Easter egg search. Search for a easter egg in a certain map, who can complete it first? Also similar to a Easter egg hunt but not regarding a map's easter eggs. Easter egg hunt- 8 Players 2 teams of 4, complete a list of objectives before the other team For ex: 1st objective: Have at least one member of your team buy a gun off the wall 2nd objective: 2 members of team get a gun in the mystery box 3rd objective: Get a combined point count of 5000 in your team 4th objective: Have your team open 2 doors etc etc.. you could complete an objective by accident or look at the objective list, as the list goes on it would be harder and harder. The objective lists would consist of a desired number of objectives 20-60. If your whole team is downed, you can get revived by the other team and the other team would choose 5 objectives they dont have to do, or split 40,000 points equally. Or they can let you die and get more time to complete objectives without your team in the way, your team would not spawn until the round is over, but crawlers would not be acceptable, seeing as many objectives would involve zombies anyway, they would be needed, plus a max of 3 mins with crawlers would be allowed. Based on the number of players things would run differently if you had 7 players the teams would be uneven, the team with less players would receive some benefits. If you have less than 8 players the amount of points/objectives in the easter egg hunt that could be gained would drop based on the amount of players The 8 player game modes would consist of random characters, these 8 would change every map. But the standardized zombie mode would be 4 players! The 4 players we would expect to be in original zombies after the moon easter egg. What do you guys think?

I would preorder like right now for all those offers, tbh I don't care about the poster much. But I am confused as to if their will be a hardened edition, so I want to hold out to get possibly the old zombie maps or whatever they offer.. bleh. idk

I was wondering if I should wait for a hardened edition of the game to pre order but idk if there will be one?

I am almost positive it won't work that way, I think it will work kinda like mw3 does now. Let's say January starts the "dlc" off we get 1 zombie map then, feb we get 2 multiplayer, march we get another 2 then in march you would receive it all in one "map pack". So people who probably don't get elite, will have to wait for the maps, that's what I think will happen at least. And it will probably be free dlc for elite again. But you are technically paying for it so yeah.

What is dead shot.. I never personally used it.. I was always confused on if it worked on other guns besides snipers. I think they will continue to add more.. which will make it even harder to choose which ones you want.

I think zombies may be hinted at in the May 1st trailer tbh.. I mean black ops didn't release zombies until late summer.. but this is BO2, a lot of Black ops success was made off of zombies.. just look at the last map pack. I don't think they will wait that long. It may not be May 1st but I can almost assure you it will be before and cod xp 2012 event if it even happens. Even a little teaser trailer/picture/1 second in a trailer. It will be seen, there is more boxes than days left until the release of the trailer. Maybe after the trailer teaser trailers will come, one might have a hint of zombies, or teaser pictures again with possible hints of zombies. I honestly believe we won't wait long to see zombies.

I guess that would be fine and could be more of like xbox achievements or whatever it is on ps3 I think trophies? Correct me if I am wrong. But I don't want it involved with leveling up in zombies, better stats would be appreciated, someone posted about stats that could be added in this forum, I can't remember what it was called though. But I meant more of like in the map, for ex if we were lets say in a NYC map: get to the statue of liberty and find the "secret code". then head back to times square..try not to get overrun by the zombies.. or something like that and be timed how long it takes you etc. But even then I would like an option to not play that way, and just have normal zombies.

No.. I want zombies to be just as it was before, just with new guns/maps/perks/character sayings.. I don't want zombies transforming into multiplayer with levels and such things you posted. The only thing I might want to see changed is more objective to the game? Meaning like goals to complete. Which would tie in with the easter egg, but even that, I'm not sure of.

Yea, also like in moon, I think you should just be able to give your other players points if you want to. But one of my favorite parts of zombies is trying to get a lot of points to get what you want, I feel if it's easy to get points other ways besides playing, it might take some of the fun out, that might just be me though. I think there should be a co- op zombie campaign. Cutscenes would be played during the campaign, and you wouldn't always just be playing another zombie map in the campaign, some various simple tasks in some areas. Some full out zombie maps with objectives. I think objectives should be put into a "zombie campaign" where the easter eggs would kinda be like goals, you could play on rookie normal pro or veteran and it would be harder or easier to get to the end result. Also on the normal zombies mode you would be able to play the maps with/without the objective, whichever you like.

I have always been fond of this idea, and hoped it would be added. It's not like you are forced to trade guns so why not add the feature? I feel if someone has like 2000 points just spawned from being dead, and your co- op player has like 20,000 points and just got the ray gun he can give it to you and you can get the pistol and get mustang+sally. There's so many times when it would be so useful like if I am terrible with the thunder gun and I get it, but my partner is great with it. We can trade.. it's such a good idea.

I think elite will definitely have an effect on zombies. We will probably get BO maps/ WAW maps 1 or both of those from elite. Zombie maps will probably come out every other month or so and will be combined with multiplayer maps on the other months to make one DLC pack which will then be released to the public. So most likely.. Elite 2.0 will be necessary to get the zombie maps at it's "prime" time.

Whenever I see you have posted a thread, I feel obliged to read it, you always have the best information! [brains]

..I posted it first in the form with all the updates lol.

"The Future is not as far off as most people think -We're not ready for it " New update on COD page, when you click it it says Classified April 28th though.

[brains] I agree with you. I don't understand what seems so odd about playing as Samantha. I don't know all the details about the storyline but I know many people on this forum do. Samantha would just be the next and most important piece to the storyline? Assuming as she controlled the zombies previously (I think). And now she was switched into Richtofen's body. She isn't just going to teleport and die or go her own way, clearly she's angry at Richtofen and now has to work with the gang to get to him.. She probably has plans of her own, but needs to use the gang to fulfill them. Plus, Richtofen probably wants to get back at Samantha for trying to kill him.. I think she will 100% be playable, and she may get her body back. At the looks of the future warfare BO2 stuff. I think she may be older.

Slowed it down I thought it might have had something to do with the numbers that change to letters, possibly the sequence the change in, the letters used? Maybe it's like scramble with the letters ahha idk but I thought it might help.

thanks guys, I appreciate it

oh I see sorry guys lol my posts always seem to be wrong haha
