The Clay Bird

I seem to remember shortly after the release of the game, Duckcall looked in the files to potentially do a BO2 version of the charts, but i seem to remember him saying that the info wasn't available in the files in any sort of useful format... too bad as I really really enjoyed the ones he did for BO1

Yeah both of those threads are by our own Duckcall, and have a vast amount of great info in them, however as far as I am aware that is only for Black Ops 1. Binsys's topic was for BO2 as far as the zombies/round forumlas though

I'm sure that the decision was made years ago. It had to have been made at least by BO2's release to give SH the three year cycle, or at least by Ghosts to give them the regular 2 years of development time. So the decision was made before the abomination that is Ghosts was known about (publicaly at least), or before the lack luster showing that was BO2. Hopefully 3Arc can get back to the BO1 level of zombies. This literally just occurred to me, but assuming this is a 5 year gen, there would only be one zombies game on ps4/xb1... Hopefully it's 6. And Activision is the biggest publisher in the video games industry, and COD is one of the biggest games, Treyarch did not go under. Not even close. Just think about it this way, COD, WOW, Skylanders, and Diablo. Activision is beyond fine. This is erroneous to assume Coupled with the fact that as consoles have become more and more advanced, it has also lengthened their lifetime. I mean it could easily be 8-10 years before another "major" release (aside from what im sure will be a "slim" model, a cheaper less memory model, and all sorts of special editions) And as it stands, games are still being developed for only xbox 360 and ps3 (not many but some) so technically that gen isnt even fully over. Although in theory it sounds great to give each studio an extra year to design each game, i just don't have any confidence that it will be better in practice as far as the games being noticeably better. What I see right now, is rather than getting what could have been 5 games w/ zombies by 2016, ill only have 4. And for me personally less isn't more with zombies

nice! its funny, I've never made it past 3rd prestige on any of the IW games, but i maxed out on black ops 1 15th, and i prestige mastered in BO2 in like 6 months, then did a "fresh start" and am on 6th prestige now almost 7th. not a coincidence lol

That is a great idea Nai. IMO I think they should continue, and even expand the stats tracking. Buildables should not be weapons, only defenses like the zomb shield. Other than that I trust their creativity and vision, but i just don't know if i can wait another 14 months lol

Well. Shaddup A little late, but it is for Ghosts and BO2 until around noon today. Unfortunately I didn't quite get to prestige, but made it to 51 i think on BO2 ill try and go ahead and prestige tonight or tomorrow i guess

Welcome to CoDz ! Treyarch is most certainly not gone. They are working, or at least preparing to work on the Call of Duty game for November 2015 release. As for a zombies only full game release? I think thats something that sounds better in theory than in practice

Awesome concept EJ. I agree that it is frustrating to hit the box on round 5 and get a literally almost unusable weapon. I think they all should have some utility. much like the M1911 turns into mustang and sally, i think some of the other less useful un PaP guns should PaP into proportionately MORE useful guns.you know some reward for carrying the crap weapon long enough to actually upgrade it. And the idea about some of the AW weapon advancement things like the accuracy increases with firing? sounds really cool and somewhat like some of Borderlands 2's mechanics with some weapons. Since obviously zombies in itself is unrealistic, I would see no problem with adding effects to guns that are a little far fetched. like in Borderlands 2, you may have an ability that your missed bullets have a 30% chance of ricocheting back and hitting an enemy. or like the conference call you shoot one enemy and it branches out to shoot all other enemies... I think there a lot of fantastic type abilities they could include for PaP guns to bridge the gap between regular weapons and wonder weapons

I'd be ok with it. I personally think it would be fun to kill zombs as your Xbox avatar even. Customization equals fun and replayability, and I'm all for that

Yeah and the game play is killing people. And to him the sight of a living person with their breasts exposed apparently is more offensive than pretending to kill hundreds and thousands of people in a violent video game. And he's not the only one, Im sure there a lot of people out there that are like that, I just don't understand, and feel that a video game depicting killing people would be more offensive than a picture of a human being a human :edit: doesnt matter, not my life, its his right to be that way

I completely respect that, and now understand his reaction, but it does make me wonder... why would he then play a game like Call of Duty, and more importantly, the zombie game-mode!? I even see him playing GTA V regularly! Refusing to say the word 'Hell', but partaking in playing a game that features much worse profanities and scenes of a very graphic nature. The game basically glorifies war and using scene such as the person burning alive inside the truck at the beginning of the Angola mission to ramp up the effect of warfare. How about the airport massacre scene from MW2? Don't get me started with GTA V! I appeciate the moral stance though but still feel his reaction to the image was poorly misjudged. My thoughts exactly. What a double standard. I have absolutely no problem with a strict moral stance, value systems etc., but you can't pick and choose. Bottom line is, if it's within your moral code or whatever to play a game with very mature language and content, then you should be perfectly capable of participating in a community of people who play the game.

Great thoughts guys, I appreciate the input.

Just wondering if any of you all have any go to starting strategies for solo on CotD? I am wavering between going towards the lighthouse to begin and going for the sickle first? or going to power grabbing the MP40 and getting jugg first? have had equal success with both, but neither feels really comfortable...

I would support removal of cursing from the Code of contact or whatever. doesnt make sense for a forum dedicated to a game rated M that has cursing all over it to have a rule against cussing lol.

We do, it's called "Hall of Fame" Also, the idea about this whole "adult section" already sounds like it's just a forum waiting for trouble. Unless you're basically willing to lift some rules and put an age restriction on it, then I don't see the point in it either. See… Hall of Fame has 6 people for a reason, it's SUPER difficult, beyond anything most of us will get to. There should be some sort of reward to people like myself, Speedo, and many others. It's a bit degrading after posting so much and putting in so much effort to constantly be placed with the same as a person with 14 posts about how tranzit sucks….. We can't all be admins, veterans, or UOTM… Are you really posting here for the sole purpose of getting recognition for how good a poster you are? If you really are a great poster, your posts themselves should be all the recognition you need. This site isnt a contest to get the most medals or become some sort of all-star.

Re: mature section I'm with Hells Warrrior on this one. The nature of the game is very mature, and the fact that while playing the game you will hear multiple F-words from the likes of Dempsey and Nikolai, yet if I use profanity in the forum, there's a good chance i'll be reported, doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I'm not saying that the place should be filled with obscenities, but if one is desired to emphasize a point or make a joke, it shouldnt be restricted because the children might hear. These things have a way of working themselves out, as it did with the rape culture thread and MMX leaving. Its a shame that he left, but he obviously decided that he wasn't mature enough to handle the forum any more, and perhaps once he has a chance to work through that and decide he has matured to the point of being able to have an adult conversation about things I hope he comes back. Theres nothing wrong with being too young or immature, and coming to the realization yourself is a great first step to growing up

Please no. I, and many others, have a very limited time period they can be on CoDz, and I want to post multiple threads, I need to be able to. To reduce spam, you should employ this, but only on the "new member" user group. That way, we can deal with spambots before they even make a second thread. But please, don't punish the people who stay. I am against any sort of limitations on posting. Any spam can be reported to mods through the appropriate channels. Ever since "**** please report this topic, post ****-gate" was handled, i haven't seen any spam at all. I fear too many restrictions, especially on the "new user" group may be counter-productive. I know if when I had joined 3+ years ago I could only post once per day, I would have left and never came back. During the off-season I know it can get a little slow, and as they say "Idle hands are the devils play things" I just don't want us to start making rules and restricting things just because we don't have much else on our plates at the moment

hmm. In black ops 2 i did come to love the Dead Specimen Reactor iron sights. I've always had fun with the Hades as well. in BO1 probably the HS10 (typhoon something?) and the Predator is always a fave. WaW of course i have to say the Ripper, and the Gut Shot

Love it as is. It would be a lot more boring if it just retained a normal bullet sound

never had a problem with this. i think i have a round 58 on buried, and no problem w xbox freezes. same with elec cherry, have a 66 on Mob, and never seemed to encounter any issues with any freezing

neat concept, but still quite a ways off realistically in terms of implementation. Maybe by the time I retire that type of technology would be cheap enough and refined enough to be realistic for game makers
