what do you mean by this? I don't see that anywhere Yeah, i looked all over and couldn't find anything saying Dr. Salim. you can change the name manually but thats the only way i could figure to make it say that.

I would tend to agree with you as far as MP is concerned, although i would LOVE next gen WW2 MP and think it would be awesome... just might not have the mass appeal that future stuff has. However I could see Treyarch as the only ones capable to market it to the masses and pull it off. However, the cool thing is, that with 3 distinct separate modes (and treyarch makes them more separate than the other devs imo) They could still have a near future type MP experience, A future/past campaign experience, and then take zombies to any time period they want. I think that is a really exciting prospect

@Slade Although that may be true, i just don't understand why. I mean if instead of the exo-survival reveal, they had done a full on exo-zombies reveal in September, dont you think that would have created far more hype around the full game and generated a bunch more sales of the whole product? And then there would still be buzz around the DLC because of how popular zombies is in general. I just feel like it was a real rookie move, and I can't imagine it had much effect on season pass or DLC sales

DAMN! See, I told you guys about Treyarch's marketing prowess, and this is a primo example. They fucking get it!

Here's the scary part. Exo Zombies was pushed to DLC to increase DLC and Season Pass sales. Activision has confirmed DLC sales are increasing year-over-year. They could just as well "suggest" to Treyarch to make their Zombies DLC only, too. Also supporting pay to win? This has to be a meme, no one actually does this. are you sure? I was still under the impression that it really was because of the backlash to their "reveal" of exo-survival as the co-op mode, and they realized they were going to lose a ton of sales if they didn't have a legit 3rd co-op mode..

1,2,4,6,8,10,& 11 i think are good ideas the others, not so much. zombie counter is a bad idea. i dont think the upgraded mystery box is a good idea. stats resetting is bad. im sorry that you had a rough go starting out in BO2, but your stats are your stats. im sure you'll be much better in cod2015 zombs Im against buildables, so i hope they are removed for the most part. i like the solo EE, more melee weapons, and second PaP are the best ideas that you listed. I would love to see all of those

also consider video game sales as a whole are flat to trending downward this year. There are a lot of factors to take into account here. Personally most of my friends didn't buy advanced warfare because some hadn't upgraded their console yet and knew we wouldn't play as much until we all are on next gen consoles (which will be for this years CoD) some also avoided AW because it was not developed by Treyarch or Infinity Ward, weary of SHG's first attempt at CoD. So to say that CoD 2015 is going to sell worse than Ghosts or AW, is still a very long shot i would venture to guess. Plus it is no secret that Treyarch is by far the best out of the 3 studios in community relations, marketing, social media, etc. They are outstanding at creating unmatched hype for their CoD games Seems like the numbers don't back up any claim AW did well. http://www.forbes.com/sites/insertcoin/2014/12/14/call-of-duty-advanced-warfare-us-retail-sales-reportedly-less-than-ghosts/ Piper Jaffray analyst Michael Olson says outright that based on the NPD data he’s seen for November, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare has seen US retailsales decline 27% from Ghosts in 2013. Ghosts itself declined 19% from 2012′s Black Ops 2, which itself dropped 17% from 2011′s Modern Warfare 3. If you take all that data together, US retail sales of Advanced Warfare are down 49% from Modern Warfare 3. And though a rise in digital copies may be to blame for some of the disparity, Olson doesn’t believe it’s nearly enough to cover the gap. That's not exactly a good endorsement. It's impossible to guess the digital sales. Just so we are clear, i'm not wishing doom on COD. I hope 3arc gets another 30 years to make zombies. There's just very few examples of games that last as long as COD has, and they certainly don't release a game every year. Sports games are really the only thing that is comparable to Call of Duty. that article is from december though, and reports have said that AW sales have picked up and had more longevity than ghosts.. AW was tops in digital sales for February 2015 with $31.6 million in sales... in february alone. source:http://www.ign.com/articles/2015/03/25/call-of-duty-advanced-warfare-grand-theft-auto-5-top-digital-console-sales-in-february I think it is safe to say that Ghosts' poor reception, and the hesitancy over a brand new developer contributed to the poor numbers at launch and shortly after, but it seems to have rebounded well, and like I said, treyarch and their proven track record of quality games and very good marketing, will in my opinion see sales numbers higher than ghosts and AW at launch

also consider video game sales as a whole are flat to trending downward this year. There are a lot of factors to take into account here. Personally most of my friends didn't buy advanced warfare because some hadn't upgraded their console yet and knew we wouldn't play as much until we all are on next gen consoles (which will be for this years CoD) some also avoided AW because it was not developed by Treyarch or Infinity Ward, weary of SHG's first attempt at CoD.

this is a good question..... I started in WaW, but didn't play Der Reise until a couple months after i got the game (i was late to the party. got world at war and MW2 at the same time, about a week after mw2 release) If i had to guess, i'd say it was either the Browning, or the MG42

I've stated this before, but i think this is the most logical way of implementing it. Although it wasn't necessarily super popular here, Extinction seemed to be relatively popular in ghosts, and the ranking/prestige system with the teeth or whatever seemed to work really well in it. I think we could have a similar thing in zombies and have it really be successful

i think treyarch does a fantastic job listening to their fans, but a standalone zombies game just may not be financially viable at this point. It is very popular yes, but it is still a drop in the bucket compared to the whole CoD experience especially multiplayer

oh its dubstep. welp, time to get my mute button ready btw best ever music for CoD was BO1 when the credits rolled and i heard Sympathy for the Devil by the stones kick in. that was awesome

who is afrojack? did he do the because i got high song? can he cover muse? can he just call muse and get them to do it?? lol

idk. looks like he was just being silly and playing on words. I hope not though, because Muse is one of my absolute favorites

Yeah I agree. Like, you shouldn't care that your user group is white or blue or brown. I see meh as an Architect even if he isn't brown. I see everyone that focuses on Concepts as architects really. It's the same as asking to get more comments on your posts or asking for more brains or other equivalents of promotions. You don't ask, you just do it. As long as people are reading your posts and they know you specialize in a certain area then that's pretty good recognition. I don't mean to be a downer, and i realize that you two probably pour a lot of time into making your concepts. but having an imagination in my opinion doesn't necessitate a user group. unless it is treyarch employees posting, map concepts belong in the off topic section, because its just make believe. nothing wrong with it! but it isn't necessarily relevant to actual cod zombies discussion. again just my opinion and no ill will towards any of you that like to imagine concepts

We do, it's white and it's called member. Just pulling your chain of course. Could you explain why this would be given recognition over other contributions by members (i.e. theorists, story tellers, strategists)? Serious question, not patronizing what you do, just looking for insight. im sorry The Meh, but i don't think that map concepts are worthy of any special recognition. I know you and some others spend a lot of time on such things, but its nothing more than ideas.

wizards guild? lol no offense. but sounds like all the hobbit's in the shire gandolfed down the street to the fellowship of the ring

you would probably prefer WaW then. The 1911 was much more muted in WaW much like the mauser sounds. I personally prefer how the 1911 sounds in BO1. AR's i like them probably more in BO2. sounds more solid, whereas in BO1 it almost sounds like all the guns have loose construction rattling around.

I swear this guy does something dumb/hilarious like that every game we play lol. That's not to say I haven't had my share of fails lol, but its still funny when it happens

@Chopper out of all of my youtube vids, that was the only one private fixed it now anyway lol
