Here is the full high res map texture from the starting room, if anyone else wants to use it for a basemap. http://i.imgur.com/k4yGDti.png

I pieced together a higher-res version directly from the PC texture file and thought I would share it.

I found these in the texture files. Not sure if any of them made it into the map, but some of them are interesting.

Is this different than MatoMaster and RelaxingEnd's strategy? Looks the same but maybe I'm missing something. I do like your grenade usage when instakill is on!

But if these 4 (A4? Ancient 4?) are wielding the original staves, then it was not our O4 who brought the staves back into the past. I don't mean to say the A4 are the same nationalities as the O4, but it could be their ancestors. Let's say this in 1100 AD when the Templars were getting big. Tank's ancestor could be Scottish, Ed's Roman Empire, Nikolai's Siberian Tribes, and Takeo's Japanese Samurai. Theory 1 says maybe magic and some zombie/otherworldly threat caused them to come together as far-reaching representatives of the Templars to rid the world of this evil in the Roman Empire - and they contained it all in Excavation Site 64 in modern day Germany. Then the staves were destroyed and Templars eventually go into hiding, with very little record of the events until Group 935 unearths it all. Theory 2 says there was some legend of staves and ancient power, and zombies were contained in Site 64, but there were no ancient warriors. Then our O4 create the staves and open a portal and teleport back in time to be the A4 and kick ass. They finish up and teleport back to post WW1 where Richtofen erases their memory and sends them back to their countries of origin. He keeps track of them and uses them again in WW2. There are more theories possible too, but now I'm starting to confuse myself...

Of course the word Primis at the bottom of the note means "In the first place."

It would be nice to know where these are all located. I've only found 2 in-game, and haven't seen any YouTube video showing where they are. Anyone know, so I can update my map? viewtopic.php?f=155&t=36264&p=334388&hilit=origins+map+yourmapper#p335305

Yes, that's the link in the previous post: the whole highest-res photo from the texture files. Either they were teleported back in time at the end of the side quest, a-la Evil Dead 2, creating a time loop, or their ancestors wielded the staves back then, and the O4 have not recovered them. I'm leaning towards the ED2 theory.

Hey it looks like they've all been found, though still no info on where each piece is on the map: viewtopic.php?f=155&t=36817

Here it is with all 16 locations and more details about the process, like: - how to scour all 16 locations with, at max, 3 zombie bloods. - that you can only get bottles from 4 mounds per player. After that you can find and dig up more but you don't get any more bottles. - only one mound will spawn per round. You can't get two even with 2 zombie bloods in one round. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HwNPW9O7VSA I need to update my map since I have only 15 on there.

FYI there are 16 total spots, 4 for each player. I'll post MatoMaster's video here tomorrow, with all locations captured and more good info.

Yeah, but 5 days after Rezurrection dropped for PS3 and PC, Treyarch released a patch that put Mule Kick across all the other Black Ops 1 maps asides from Moon. So in 5 days or a week we will see...

Patched. It was a glitch! No glitches! :)

I'm trying to add all the secret picture pieces to this map. Can anyone help out with their exact locations? Here are the parts put together: viewtopic.php?f=155&t=35834&start=30#p334842

I've not found all of them myself yet either, others (like OP) have come close, if i find all the others il no clip and get HD shots of of them all for you to put on your map. Thanks, they are all pretty old now but i always believe in getting images of things i find so we can eliminate trolling If theres any Images you need for your map let me know and il do my best to get a perfect image for you I have been trying to extract the files from the DLC files to get the original items, but dont really have the time to do that yet Thanks! If you find all the parts and get HD shots of them stitch them together, or post them and I'll stitch them together in Photoshop for you and credit you on the image for capturing them all. And if you can explain where they are I can add their locations to the map here: viewtopic.php?f=155&t=36264

Here's an updated version I made adjusting CodeNamePizza's parts, and adding a part found by YelkoCarmena. Nikolai is found! http://i.imgur.com/zd6tCrj.png

By the way your Instrgram photos are epic. Great shots of stuff in game I'd never seen before. Zombie in a box, numbers in a box, the train markings on the giant robot... http://instagram.com/dub_zee

Ok, great thanks. So it's not a troll, which is nice. That's the first in-game screenshot I've seen. If we can find all the piece locations, I can add them to my map of Origins.

There's still this photo: viewtopic.php?f=155&t=35834&p=334717#p334717

I think you are trolling! In fact, I wonder if this entire thing is a troll. Has anyone, anywhere, ever found one of these scraps anywhere on the map, and have a screenshot of it? I haven't ever found one. So is this real? Anyone have proof?

I was wondering when someone would say 'It's you!" I think the OP title should be changed... It can also be planted to delay zombies if you get downed and are running for jug or right before you purchase jug.

This is an awesome idea! Army of Darkness staff wielding zombie slayer ancestors!

That's a great idea and way to do it! I bet you could do that before round 8 too.

Remember how Nacht der Untoten was a reused building from the WaW multiplayer map? Good times!

Great video! Looks like your round 7 is the current proved record for obtaining these. Can anyone do better? I said round 5 in the title because I could have done it once on round 5 but F'ed up. But I was really maximizing points with the Solo double points box drop, and two other lucky double points drops.
