ZombieOfTheDead

You like running around a circle for hours on end? No matter how chaotic it is, it's still pretty much the same after awhile. That is why it needs a change. I know you won't agree with me, but I still need to explain. Also, again, different difficulties. Even if there weren't, sometimes unexpected changes turn out better than the old same stuff. People complain about EVERYTHING. It's ridiculous. All of the things you mentioned made the game better, IMO. Not always buildables, some of those made things too easy as well. The point is, some change is good. Keeps you on your toes, and continues to make the game fun. I know so many people that are bored with zombies because it's just more of the same.

If you ask me, what zombies might need to survive is a drastic change. I don't care what half of the zombies players think (many are little kids, anyways), we need to make it more difficult. It's just more fun with the AI variations. If we really want to make people happy, they could add higher difficulties with these AI differentiations. I mean, we have two difficulties as is, the harder ones would be for pro players. Maybe trains could finally die. Specials are fairly good as is, IMO. Them panzers.... tough, but not annoying (like denizens).

Eh, I don't think we should get rid of it for most of those. They should probably just be limited. I should probably add especially in this off time, more people are probably going into Off topic. Questions, suggestions, etc make sense for giving brains. I mean, if someone helps you, or has a good idea for something, it makes sense to give them brains.

Well let's see... In WaW, zombies was really boring in solo. It didn't feel right to play at all (and the mechanics didn't work as well then, so a group was usually better and more fun) Black ops was okay for a few rounds but then got boring Black Ops 2 managed to hold my attention for more than a few rounds in some maps (ie: Origins). I don't know, it's alot more fun in a group for me. It's not all running in circles and crap like that. It is occasionally, but that doesn't always work out. It's just nice having people to talk to and... teamwork, and friendship and stuff. Basically, solo is boring and not worth it, group has so much more to it.

Yeah, they should definitely gets brains. The main reason why I said they shouldn't get so much is because other members tend to be intimidated by high amounts like that, like they'll never get that high up. I know I felt that way back when I joined up. You always wanted brains for whatever reason. Reputation shows, I guess. For the amount of posts I had back then, I didn't have nearly as many brains.

It was 10 brains if you gave someone one per post. 100 on that site wasn't a very high amount, but 100 on this site I think any way is. That's 1000 on the old site. The restriction was that you could only give 10 brains to one post, and would have to give more brains to another person before giving more brains to the first person. I also think there was a time restriction, but not 100% on that. Anyway you look at it, on this version 100 is insane. I'd say max 20. I should probably ask first if you can give multiple brains to people first. Haven't given any yet on this new version.

From this new system, 100 would be insane. It'd be more like 10, right?

So about the story tab- Are we going to put everything we know about zombies in that? Like, almost a zombies wiki maybe? If so, we can finally revive the what we know team! Liking the front page, and as a whole the site redesign! It's just too cool.

From what I hear, Sledgehammer may be making the next CoD (though every time they say they will, it doesn't pan out). I actually hope this is the case. For one, I've gotten bored of zombies, as have probably many of us. Waiting another year could really help. Not to mention the improvements they could make to the engine (or even a new engine?). Also, I don't particularly want to get a new console yet, but I still want the highest quality game.... sure I'm not the only one there. Overall I'm hoping zombies goes back to it's roots (and no more Maxis vs Richtofen story... that was kinda lame, actually. Took 3 maps for anything to happen).

Probably that it'll be more like L4D.

They totally want to make their own zombies, but it's not going to be the same. Oh well. At least it's not alien terrorists like MW2 was rumored to have. This wouldn't convince me to buy the game. Seems pretty meh.

Not everything has to be logical. It's called symbolism. It doesn't really have to make sense.

I think the fact that we have zero nos at the moment should mean someone should get the idea in treyarch's head right now. Comic would be cool, too, but lets face, it won't happen. They're too secret with the story. Unless they could add some backstory by focusing on different characters or the O4/N4's lives before everything.

I wouldn't say lazy. What is actually something that is lazy is back in WaW they reused campaign character models for the O4. Be honest, how different can wagons really be?

I feel like Origins ending kinda makes it necessary. I mean, Samantha isn't playing with them the right way! The eyes should be blue! I need Takeo with a katana, Richtofen with the DG-2, Nikolai with vodka and a PPSH, and Dempsey just looking cool. Oh, and I need Russman with a cowboy hat and a revolver. Yeah. Just awesomeness.

Chapter 6: Night Of Fate Meanwhile, John had just found inspiration to write a new poem via the Cymbal Monkey. “Gotta find some way to keep my head in gear,” he proclaimed to Smokey, who was slightly annoyed at having to defend the staircase by himself. Even if there was only a small few, it still made him nervous. Smokey and I were trapped in a room We accepted our impending doom ‘Till we noticed a monkey Which seemed kind of funky Until we threw it and it went boom “We’ve waited long enough for those two,” Dempsey announced. “Let’s move this damn couch for a better vantage point.” The two had a swarm of zombies like John and Smokey, but no real trouble. David had gotten a Gewehr 43 off of the chalk near one of the windows Anyways, Dempsey and Sanders had moved the couch without so much a sweat. They had killed so many zombies that it wasn’t even a hassle. They moved upstairs. The upstairs, standing to the left coming up the staircase, was a long hallway. Going further from the staircase and turning left led to the balcony. Either way, the hallway and balcony led to each other. Down the hallway, there was yet another soda machine. This one was called “Double Tap Root Beer.” “On the bright side, at least this means the zombies can’t get in through this way,” David noted. “Not like they would be able to jump this high anyways, but there is a window over there they could get through, too.” Tank and David looked across the asylum, and shouted to the other two marines. “Marines, get your asses out onto the balcony over there!” Not but a moment later, John Banana and Smokey appeared. Smokey was had begun to get pale. He looked ridiculous with his broken sunglasses, his cigarette still ever hanging. John looked like hell as well, but in a more “we just killed about a thousand zombies nonstop” kinda way. “It’s not as easy as it looks. We’ve been to hell and back already!” John answered in a gravely voice. The truth was that he was exhausted. He was just trying to keep it together. The only rest he had gotten after the huge horde of zombies was in writing the limerick. John almost collapsed in relief. He smiled, and beckoned for Smokey to follow. Smokey looked paler than before, but followed. Dempsey knew something was up with Smokey, but disregarded it after a moment or so. He told Sanders where to set up for sleep, and then looked over the balcony. _________________________________________________ John spent his energy on the last door before their sleep. It was now very dark out, like it had been at the bunker. The night they had lost their friend… it seemed so far away, but in reality had happened last night. John sighed. He noticed another soda machine like the blue one he had seen earlier. This one was green. It was called Speed Cola. He just realized that they both had symbols about their machines. Perhaps they signify something about them, he thought to himself. The truth was that he didn’t care much. He set up his sleeping bag, and took off his gear. His dreams were calm that night, though they told not of what would be to come. ___________________________________________________________ “No… not this… this… can’t be happening.” His head dropped down as he sobbed. He looked back up at his friend, or what remained of him. It turned out that the scratch was much more fatal than they both would have ever thought. John picked up the knife. “--the man you were is long gone,” John sniffled, bringing himself to grips with the situation. “I won’t let my memory of my best friend be bogged down by a spawn of Satan himself. As far as I’m concerned, you’re Satan, and you killed my best friend!” He lunged forward, and tackled Smokey’s zombie. With many hacks of his knife, he cut off the head. The body lay still, and John broke down into tears. There was just no helping it with your best friend. John cried, much more than any man should have to . The reality of the situation truly dawned unto him in that moment. He wrote his next poem in great haste, dedicated to his best friend. I once knew a soldier named Smokey He Slapped me on the head and awoke me Turns out he was dead I cut off his head Yet but headless he still tried to choke me For smokey, this was his retaliation. ____________________________________________ Hey, howbout some thoughts now? I see the view count ever raising, but never get any comments! C'mon people! Stories used to be commented on all the time! Do it again! So yeah, the stories moving along quite nicely. Maybe the events of the "Just the Beginning" trailer will come soon, eh? But seriously, freakin comment. I miss MLH in times like these.

Chapter 5: Strength, Zombies, and Toys “Well shit,” he said as he got back onto his feet. “First, it scares the shit out of me, then it disappears so I can’t make it pay.” He gave up on it, and moved towards the stairs. They were blocked off with a couch, seemingly easy to get around. There was also a door right beside the staircase, but John avoided it knowing that the power room was on the second floor anyways. “Gotta wonder where the chalk came from,” Smokey pondered as he attempted to move the couch.” John smiled. “How the hell does this work!?” he shouted angrily. Smokey took out another one of his cigarettes and lit it up. He puffed up in the air, contemplating what to do. He heard a rumbling outside, the sound of dirt flying in the air alongside the shrill moans of the undead. His eyes got wide, and he jumped down the stairs to meet them at the window, cigarette still hanging in mouth. He felt agony in his shoulder, though he was lucky enough to turn quickly enough to where the wound wasn’t great. Smokey’s cigarette hit the floor as he used the butt of the springfield to bash the zombie away. He brought the gun back up and blew the zombie’s head apart. He then remembered the hole in the wall as he reached for his shoulder. Could it really be that bad? It’s only a scratch. I hardly think I’ll turn into one of them, he thought when he realized John noticed. The undead had broken through in those moments of hesitation. Smokey clutched his shoulder, and ran with John to the stairway after grabbing the cigarette that fell. Dammit, it’s soggy from the water! John attempted to move the couch again, and was this time successful, though drained once again. They ran upstairs. That is, until they noticed the toy cymbal monkey. John turned his head to the side in confusion. He realized that it had a bomb on the back. Given that there was no way out, he decided there was only one option. He wound it up, and threw in into the hoard. ___________________________________ Only one day after the first in a year and a half. I felt compelled to write more despite the fact that people don't often come into the zombie story section anymore it seems. Someone needs to comment this time, if you notice this story again. Tell me how I'm doing writing wise, and if you like the story yadayadayada. But seriously, comment. The best part is seeing what people think.

Chapter 4: A New Way Forward “There’s no guarantee he’ll be up ahead anymore,” said Tank to David, “odds are he’s either gone, taken by the Nazis or escaped , or he’s one of them.” Tank stood up, and took a look out the window to ponder. What should we do? In a snap, his eyes flew open, and he turned to Sanders, regarding him with his plan by stating,”We’ll have to push forward to the power room up there,” as he pointed to the flashing blue light, “Banana and Smokes will take point since they have weapons already. We’ll have them investigate for clues on… basically anything. How this started, where Peter could be, what tools we have to survive… anything. Meanwhile, we’ll build up points…” “What I mean is, we’ll make this into a game of sorts… won’t lose ourselves then. Anyways, that’s all I’ve got for now. Wake the idiots up,” Dempsey ordered. Sanders was no fool. He knew something was up, but didn’t press it anymore than necessary. He found some metal, and banged on it by the electrical door. _____________________ “Listen up, Ladies,” barked Sanders, “ Because of your sleepiness, you have just earned yourselves a ticket to scout ahead. Your orders are to search for anything to power, and if possible turn on the power switch.” John just sighed, and walked over to Smokey, who was cowering in a corner by the electrical door. “Shit really takes it out of ya,” he noted, as he entered the dark, dank room. As he moved forwards, he noticed a slight hole in the wall. He moved slowly toward it, noticing a shadow. He heard footsteps from behind as the shadow in the wall turned into a hand. [tab][/tab]“Peter?” he asked quickly. The hand broke more of the wall, revealing a rotten arm. John stepped back in fear, and heard another bang as the arm flew off, a voice of pure evil crying in pain. _________________________________________ I've finally done it... Only been like 2 years. Just got into the mood. Hope you like it. Has Origins references. If there are any inconsistencies as I get back into this, let me know. I reread through what I wrote (and tbh, I actually wrote decently, always thought the writing sucked), so there ya go. You all, who ever is still reading this, might want to reread both stories. Jesus... I wrote this for a good hour and a half, and it looks like barely anything. Might not have much time, but I'll try and write some more.

So I'm guessing to break the cycle, Maxis has to win the easter egg on buried? I can see no other reason for having two outcomes. The cycle just continues until he wins. After all, Maxis seems to know alot about agartha, and wanting to free her in that time.

Just wanted to see what you thought, and so I'll agree to disagree. Like I said, I can understand why you think that way, it's just I can't personally see them as being fakes per say. There's not really much we can say about it because we won't get any new info for like a year. None the less, love that you found away around it being a total cop out.

No problem. I said I wasn't going to argue it, and I do mean that, but I just want to bring up a point. In the database in black ops, there was a letter mentioning Dempsey was sent to verruckt for the extraction of Peter, and the Dempsey we know was captured shortly after that. They did mention him by name, so I don't know if that changes anything, but I wanted to bring it up. @Charles, the cop out idea would make everything entirely pointless, and would probably lead to an attempt to set treyarch's building on fire, there's got to be more to it than that

As much as we disagree, this theory is downright brilliant. I think the four heroes in Origins are the same ones in the rest of the maps, personally, but other than that it's just downright brilliant IMO. I can see why you would think they're different, but I won't argue it at this point.

Not just that, but the blue eyes thing, and the hairstyle is the same. It's so unlikely that it isn't Richtofen.

They didn't have to use either here, since it was going to be an origin story. Honestly, that's the thing that gets me thinking this wasn't all a game, there was so much involved in it that children just wouldn't know of. That's why I feel it was a retelling or a metaphor for them controlling the zombies. The only odd thing is Eddie...
