ZombicidalManiac

Yea man thats whats so cool about Shangri-La. I once had 13,000 points by round 4 because in the second round I had a max ammo, grabbed it and killed the monkey before he hit me for 500 points. Then right after that I got two double points in a row from two different zombies...killed both the monkeys and got 2000 points for that. Then round 3 happened and I got about 4 different drops and one of them was another double points. I was livin it up for a while. That game I had 3 perks, the bowie knife, spikemore mines, and one box gun by round 5. Now thats something ya cant do on any other map.

Just so you guys know, Treyarch have said we should go back to the original maps to find new things. That means when the classic maps are released with Rezurrection, the classic maps will have new easter eggs, or weapons, or some new enemies. Even the people who bought the hardened and prestige will probably get updates to their revamped classic maps. So it's worth it for everyone. Especially if your into the story of it all.

I think it's just a zombie with melted skin. Plus this is just concept art. Just look at the other pictures for the classic maps. In the Verruckt picture theres a zombie with a gun. The zombies aren't wearing hats in the classic maps either but they are in the concept art. So yea, I don't think it's anything but a melted looking zombie.

lol you guys are already talking about it like it's already a fact. What if thats not at all how it happens. What if in order to go outside you have to buy a space suit or something. In real life, you can supposebly hold your breath in space for about 30 seconds or something because space is a vaccum and it would suck the air from your lungs. It would probably feel like someone is standing on your chest and pushing the air out of your lungs. But anyway, who knows how Treyarch will mind f$@k us this time. It could very well be what the original poster stated, that we can run outside for a minute before we run out of air. what would really suck is if you can run out of air but theres no gravity so you can accidentally fly off...then you'll never get back inside the building lol.

No, YOU don't get it. A contract can be breached if both parties agree to it. And YES, Activision would have to give money to Microsoft if any agreement was reached between them. But if Rezurrection is released for PS3 too close to MW3's release, they'll lose most of the sales they'd make if it had been released earlier because people have to save money to get these games and they know that. So lets say Microsoft will settle for a million dollars for a breach in contract, then Activision can still sell the expected amount of Rezurreciton map packs to the rest of consoles as opposed to selling it late September and only getting half of the expected amount. Trust me....I get it.

Everytime I've EVER gone to the official Black Ops site before when a map pack is about to release, it ALWAYS gives the XBOX release date, then it says "PS3 and PC info coming soon." BUT this time it just says "coming soon for PS3 and PC." My theory for why this is, is because we aren't going to have to wait the full month this time. With Modern Warfare 3 on the way, and with all the complaints Treyarch and Activision have recieved from grieving PS3 and PC owners, maybe Activision and Microsoft came up with a deal that allows the contract to bend the rules a bit just this once. When Escalation and Annihilation came out for XBOX it said "PS3 and PC Info coming soon" all the way up until one or two weeks before release. I know one time was because PSN was down, but for Annihilation it wasn't until 2 weeks before release that it said PS3 and PC coming soon. Then as the time got closer, it finally would give a date. I just have a gut feelling it won't be a full month this time. I really hope not too because I'd love it if us PS3 and PC users could find all the secrets with you XBOX guys.

That sir would just be way too awesome. I don't know if I'd be able to contain myself from jumping up and down for an hour or two if I actually saw that. [brains] to ya for such a cool idea.

It does seem improbable, but we've seen Treyarch do some crazy shit over the past year so who knows. Think about turning on your Black Ops and after the flashing screens in the beginning we see the zombie pic. That would just top it all wouldn't it? I've been hearing so many things about this new zombie pack that very few things would suprise me anymore. Like the classic maps are going to get new easter eggs and we'll be able to teleport from the moon to the classic maps for a round with that new device. I've heard we may have to buy a space suit to go outside on the moon. Or the device may or may not bring a dog round, scientist round, monkey round, and even a George round. I'm so ampted for this map I can hardly contain myself. Here's something else I was thinking...and this only pertains to those who have PS3 and PC. If you look on the Black Ops site, it says XBOX Aug 28 and PS3 and PC soon. Well, when all the other map packs came out it gave the XBOX release date and it would say PS3 and PC info coming soon. But now it just says coming soon to PS3 and PC. My gut is telling me that we aren't going to have to wait the full month this time. Could it be possible that Activision and Microsoft have come to an agreement with the contract? Maybe it will be only 2 weeks this time. That would just make Treyarch my favorite developers of ALL TIME!!! They've gotten so much slack from everyone who isn't on XBOX and MW3 is on the horizon. So what if....WHAT IF...they're going to release it earlier for PS3 and PC? And maybe in an effort to please everyone they'll finally release the map packs for the Wii. I just want everyone to reap the benefits from this final map pack. Good Lord I LOVE zombie mode.

We've seen the new Black Ops picture with the zombie taking the place of Mason. But when the zombie map pack is downloaded, do you think our games will have that same picture on the starting screen?

I was looking at the picture for Moon on the poster and you can see a reflection in the mirrored glass on the astronauts helmet. Obviously the astronaut is a zombie because theres a hole in the helmets glass and no human could survive the vaccum of space. In the reflection you can see Dempsey and 4 other people to his side. These may be zombies or they may be the main characters and one extra person. Or it could be a mixture of both. Another thing is that in Verruckt, the guy with the gun has glowing eyes as if he's a zombie. And in the Moon pic, the zombie in the astronaut suit with the hole in the glass has normal eyes. I think that zombie we see in Nacht, Verruckt, and Der Riese is Richtofen for some reason. He just looks like him. I saw a vid where some people were throwing around threories. One was saying how if that new machine teleports you somewhere like a random classic map. The classic maps come with it so maybe they all come together some how. We are solving the mystery that started in 1943. That would be sick if you throw the device out and it teleports you to shi no numa and theres perk machines there. What if you had to teleport to use the perk machines. And what about having to buy a space suit to leave the building. This map is going to be sick.

I don't know if it's the narrow pathways or what but for some reason in Shangri-La, the crawlers have the ability to completely block your path. If theres one in front of the bridge, you can't jump over them or walk past them. Maybe it's my game because I know somebody is gonna say "I don't have any problems with crawlers." Remember in World at War when there was a crawler at the bottom of the steps and you were at the top and you couldn't jump over them because there was an invisible barrier over them that was about the same size a full zombie? Well I think Treyarch did the same thing with Shangri-La. A crawler is just as dangerous as a full on zombie now....again...whatever. It's annoying as hell.

I'm REALLY REALLY hoping that there is a solo easter egg for Shangri-La. I think it would be pretty lame if there wasn't. It's a REAL pain in the ass to find decent people online. I just got a mic about 2 weeks ago and I can't believe some people. Some people have pride issues. Like if your trying to get something done, they don't wanna listen because they take it like your bossing them around. When in reality your just trying to get an objective done with the help of your teammates. Some people are stupid I guess. There are some good people that don't have knuckle-head issues, and thats what makes it worth it. Anyway, I was looking around online for an answer to my solo easter egg question. Apparentally, NGT spoke with a dev from Treyarch and this is what he said... "Anyone who thinks they deserve a response and will always get one is going to be disappointed. Anyone who thinks they deserve a response and that response will be be what they want will be very disappointed. I've never, once, ever talked ab...out what can or can not be done in Zombies. It's what makes Zombies, zombies. If you want to engage with the Zombies community to figure stuff out, then check out the Zombies forum on the Call of Duty site. That's the very point of Zombies. You might be missing that. It won't be a developer who tells you anything about Zombies. Ever. Our job is to make the puzzles, riddles, lore, and fiction of Zombies. Many people at Treyarch work hard on that. I'm not going to ruin it for them. Ever. And I'm not going to ruin it for Zombies fanbase who finds enjoyment in figuring that stuff out." So take it for what you will. Some people will see this as the glass being half empty. I see a half full glass with more secrets. Who knows, maybe even Ascension has more to be found. One day we'll know it all.

It's called The Fractalizer when it's PaP'd. Any ideas why? And yes, it is a very bad ass piece of machinery. Especially when PaP'd. I never used Dead Shot Daquari in Call of the Dead because I just never found a reason to. I always shoot for the head anyway, but in Shangri-La I find it usefull for some reason. It's also helps with The Fractalizer because if you shoot it at the first zombies head you can be sure that it will shrink all the zombies behind it.

Yea I felt like a boss lol...never happened again though.

To those people who are complaining about it being unfair that they would release the classic maps for everyone, your head needs to be examined. You sound like Golum from Lord of the Rings..."OOOH MY PRECIOUS!!! NO ONE CAN HAVE THEM BUT MEEEEEEE!!!" First of all, you've had them since last year. Secondly, you don't have many people to play them with because there are very few people who have them. Third, what about the people who bought them off ebay? They didn't buy prestige or hardened editions and they got the maps. Why don't you cry about that? "ooh it's not fair to me because I worked hard to get hardened blah blah blah" didn't you ever learn how to share when you were a kid? Seriously that pisses me off that you guys think that your the only people who deserve those maps. I can't believe people like that even exist. Greedy greedy greedy.

I was playing online and there was four of us. Nobody had enough money to pack a punch they're guns but they wanted to see how to activate it so we all did the steps to activate pack a punch. Well after we activated it we all went to the top of the stairs and I was telling them that when those wheels with the monkey faces on them reach the top, a waterfall will knock us to the bottom. They began shooting the monkey wheels and they went into the wall as usual. Well two of them got washed off and two of us stayed up top. We couldn't jump or lay prone and when we walked we slid all over but we were able to stay up top with the pack a punch machine. The zombies killed off the other two guys and it was me and another guy at the top. I had an out of ammo G-11 and an HK-21. When I got enough points I was able to pack a punch both guns without having to do the steps. It was crazy and I'm not entirely sure how we were able to stay at the top but it was pretty fun. One of the guys had a bad connection and it was a bit laggy so that may have had something to do with it...and we only made it to round 13 but we had so much fun staying at the top and shooting all the zombies running up the stairs.

I know, I've been downloading it since 5:01am. It's now 6:20am and it's only at 72%. I can't believe how long this is taking. None of the other map packs took this long for me. Escalation only took 15 minutes. First Strike was about 25 minutes. So far this has been almost an hour and a half. I can just imagine how many people are downloading it right now though...probably around or more than 100,000 people in the world at this very moment.

You lucky s.o.b...my timer is still going up. You must either have the worlds greatest connection or you were one of the first people in the world to start downloading it. Both Well don't waste your time responding to my sorry ass...go slay some stiffs. Leave us "waiters" behind and save yourself lol

It just says it on the downloading screen. Theres a green bar with the % number below it and the timer above it to the right. You may have downloaded it in the backround in which case you have to check the status in the Download Management section of the Network. I don't think you can check the timer if you download in the backround...I may be wrong though so don't listen to me.

You lucky s.o.b...my timer is still going up. You must either have the worlds greatest connection or you were one of the first people in the world to start downloading it.

Wow I've never had to wait so long for ANY download in my entire gaming history. I'll bet at this very moment there are at least 100,000 people downloading the very same thing that I'm downloading. It says 24 minutes, but what it really means is 24 hours lol

Got a mic? Cuz if ya do, I'm game. It broke... :? :cry: Thats ashame. Well we can still play some time, but I'm looking for people with mics right now because I'd like to get the achievement done. I've been waiting to do this since June 28 lol.

Mine said 15 minutes about a half hour ago...now the timer keeps going up and up. I've been downloading from exactly 5:01am and it's now 5:27am and it says 20 minutes left. It'll probably be another 45 minutes or so because everyone and their mom is downloading this shit right now lol...I don't care though, it's worth the wait. Shangri-La is an amazing map and I'm also looking forward to exploring the multiplayer maps. So in the mean time, I'm watching my favorite episode of The Walking Dead. I figure I might as well zomb-out this morning lol

Got a mic? Cuz if ya do, I'm game.

JD2020 confirmed it's release after 2am Pacific time and 10am for PC. That means I'll be getting it on the East Coast around 5am.
