At this point almost everyone has heard of the Easter Egg pertaining to freeing the original four characters. In the achievement section of Escalation, you are instructed to free the characters to 'Paradise' In the achievement description the word Paradise begins with a capital P which is indication that it is a place and not a 'term' per-se. And what place do we know of that begins with the word Paradise? That's right, Paradise Ranch, which is a name for what? Oh yeah! Area 51.. However, i'm fairly certain that Treyarch announced at one point that they wouldn't do a map based off of Area 51, but if they did say that, they said it a long time ago and who knows maybe something has changed and they're reconsidering their options (you can only make so many zombie maps...) And note, they did say they're not going to do an Area 51 Map, buut if they do Paradise Ranch as their map, then they wouldn't necessarily be contradicting themselves. You guys think Yay or Nay?

I only like the idea, if it entails that at least 2 people have both Heavy machine guns, and a ray gun. But even then, it's risky at best and probably not worth the extreme use of ammo that it would most likely entail

That would make sense. After all, Treyarch would like to keep this one achievement of theirs as original as they can for as long as they can.

^^Very Valid point

I'm sure it has something to do with what's in the ice by the spawn

Does anyone remember that Inside Xbox video when the Nazi Zombie Game Dev said 'A very vague hint, would be to shoot everything. Just shoot everything. And if you do that, and you do that with a lot of different guns you're going to find a lot of different things happen that you maybe weren't expecting." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FsQrPCvnHRg I keep trying to think of everything that we have found out, easter egg, george romero, wunderwaffe but i just can't mix and match any event that we've done thus far that would even relatively correspond with that statement. Does anyone think we're missing something from part of the map itself? EDIT: The only thing i can think to shoot at would be the wall of ice near where the players spawn. This specific piece of ice stands out from the rest, and has a symbol on it. The symbol and it's significance is unknown but many think that there is something behind that wall. Maybe, maybe not? EDIT: Wunderwaffe against the wall does nothing by itself

I haven't seen a thread like this, although i'm sure there is one floating around somewhere, so i'll just give you the credit of noticing this, good job! [brains]

Just like the stock market! or like Osama's skull once the bullet penetrated it! or like...umm,like...PTG when compared to Codz? :D

Well, considering the George Romero wields a stage light, i'd definitely catagorize him as "A Zombie That Learned How To Use A Weapon" Thus, making him the most advanced zombie, considering he can also take the zipline and who knows what else

I actually believe that Robert will Nikolai, he just has the rugged look on him i guess. Takeo will most likely be 'Freddie' (I can't recall his name) XD

The Ak-47 hasn't been confirmed. If you noticed for the First Strike Wallpaper, it included the Wunderwaffe, which clearly was not in Ascension As for the semtex, it has been learned that through some coding that it might possibly have been included in Cotd, but that's all we can say for sure seeing as how there is no video to absolutely confirm beyond a reasonable doubt Is the KS-23 a kind of sniper? There is a new one, and again, nothing has been absolutely confirmed. There's even a rumor going around that it's either A) A harpoon gun or A sniper that has electric rod rounds... but that's nothing but pure speculation, just wait a few hours and find out for yourself! Happy gaming :D

Hahah this totally just reminded me of the PS3 loyalty program thing they're going to have going on... Just thought i'd point that out ....yes i know... this post= :facepalm:

I agree^

Solo at least once or twice is usually the way to go. Especially when you take into consideration everything that has been added. It's better to figure out some things on your own time so you don't end up being the player who puts the team at risk by not knowing how to operate the map just yet, whether it be 'landmarks', perk machine locals, or even just how to work certain contraptions! I wish you all good gaming, and hope that gaming comes sooner than later! :)

I see where you're coming from with that. But if the song was referring to Sams point of view in that same stanza, i don't think it would jump to a random refugee's POV or anyone else who would be saying to 'burn any traces of 115'. I think Control them all would have to be something Sam is saying/commanding. Tell me what you find in Verruckt! I remember finding a date on the wall to the right of the sleight of hand machine (if you were inside the machine facing out, to the right) and i don't recall what significance it bore, but i remember it was slightly important. And i also remember seeing a picture of a Moon!

I believe with that Sam is indeed controlling the zombies at this point (indefinitely) and it pertains to the inevitable outbreak of 115 reaching the masses (populated groups of people) and killing them all. Villages burning to the ground in an attempt to rid the area of 115 and it's infected inhabitants. Control them all however, i'm not so sure about. The lyric uses the word 'them' which is plural, so i doubt it's intended for just one person. I think 'them' either refers to all those who assisted in the creation of the original 115 serum that was injected into the test subjects, or just to all humans in general. Release the outbreak and make the people of world go beg to Samantha for refuge And when i think of "writings on the walls" I immediatly think of Verruckt. In the room where the Sleight of Hand machine was, there was a lot of writing on the walls in the **** please report this topic, post ****, and on the walls surrounding the machine. If you noticed there were a lot of messed up images on that wall that ended up contributing to the overall progression of the nazi zombie story. There were dates, images, and random scribbles that im sure if decoded say something. "The final curtain call" This could have something to do with a Zombie Apocolypse which equals Armegeddon. The final curtain call stands for those who are left alive to fight the zombie onslaught That's all i got though, keep up the good work! ps- tell me what you think about what i said?

Hope that wasn't directed towards me... ha

I can't quite tell whether there was any sarcasm intended in this or not... If there wasn't then i apologize, and thanks for the reinforcement on this topic :D

Heaven paradise the abode of American Indian warriors after death" Here is a little history on the word 'paradise' I'm not sure if this will mean anything to anyone, but i'll simply let your imaginations wander. Keep in mind what that Zomb Game Dev spoke about in the video "Very vague advice. Shoot. EVERYTHING. You may find some things that you would not have expected to find otherwise" or something like that. Idk about you, but if i found anything like what is listed in the above quote, i would definitely put that under my "things that i did not expect to see" list...

"Heaven, paradise; the abode of American Indian warriors after death, where game was plentiful" I think you guys should just take a look at the history of the word "paradise" I'll allow your minds to wander around this. Remember the Zomb Dev speaking of 'shooting everything' to find things that you never would have known were there otherwise

Ahh thats a cool theory, its just interesting that the gun can turn zombies into humans, why would it need to be upgraded unless it had another purpose ? unless it just turns more zombies into people, but that would be a bit disappointing. I kind of skipped the comments listed under this quote because I'd just like to give my stance on this specific topic, sorry if anyone repeated this: There are two things to consider-- One being that in the video we saw (where we actually see the zombie turn into a humanoid) we don't know if that gun has already been upgraded or not. So just let that sit in the back of your mind... second being that let's say that the gun was not upgraded, and it turned that zombie into whatever we are calling the human/businessman thing. People are speculating that once you upgrade it you can go and use it on George Romero for something of some significance to happen. If you just kill him with any gun, maybe something happens. If you keep him alive up to a certain, maybe something ELSE happens. And if you use this gun on him, something of large proportions may happen! Only time shall tell though :P

I heard Option 1. Also: This song is freaking awesome. I wish I could turn my speakers up louder, because too loud isn't loud enough! same here, this is the only part that it doesn't seem to be loud enough Someone posted a link above of the file share he has of the song. You can hear that part perfectly, it's definitely the first one, 'the voices in my head to chest now last in peaceful sight" Just thought i'd add that comment...haha Happy Gaming tomorrow! (LESS THAN 12 HOURS MOST LIKELY)

If you haven't noticed, everytime Treyarch releases a new map pack, the details of the actual Zombie map have been harder and harder to come by. And that's because with every map pack, there is always SOMETHING new. With Escalation, they're keeping as much as they can secret, because they want us to find out for ourselves just how to play this map. (new perks, environment changes, etc)

I think it'll make us seek refuge on higher ground, that'd be a pretty nifty game changer!
