Much of this? Are you kidding? Nearly 99% of this thread is just speculation. But anyway, there is a possibility that Michael Rooker could still appear playing as himself, just with this Harper guy as a side job. The same guy who voices Nikolai also voices Maxis, so it wouldn't be unheard of.

That's not quite true. In fact, most of the players on "Five" are considered "bad" players. I know because if I want to play a fun game with randoms, I always pick "Five". Although it is obvious that some players will have more of a distaste to the more challenging maps, such a slate will be balanced by the players who like a challenge.

So I went by the Gamestop, and it is apparent the guy there has no clue what he's doing. When I asked he just mumbled nonsense, so I'm not sure what I'm going to do.

There is coding in the game that shows that on a Round less than 10, going down actually increases the rate of Power-Ups being spawned. BUT THAT IS IT. That is the ONLY thing it does. And since it caps at 4 per Round, there really is no point. Btw, reviving buddies for points isn't effective. You only take a fraction of their points. There is a negative cumulative point loss. The only reason I ever revive buddies for points is if they have either (1) stopped playing and I want their points or (2) they have tons of points and I have none and I desperately needs Juggernog or something.

In my opinion, challenges are fun, but since the average player does not have the capability to record videos, people are prone to not have proof, which makes people prone to lie.

i think they should try to make simple maps occasionally. I mean, sure, the complex maps are fun. It's just that I think it'd be cool to have to survive in a new area that is a bit simple? Like a house or field or something. Back in BO, I always hoped that they'd come out with 2 Zombies maps in a map pack, one really complex but the other being a simple one.

Why's everyone double-posting the image I snagged. -_-

Ever run in the Biodome? Or in Ascension? Running Flopper can't be much harder than running in a street. But as Liam said, Zelinski referred to only one map. Singular. Let's just hope it's a damn GOOD map, if they're only giving us one for the time being. Oh yeah, and what's that yellow thing in the zombie image? I thought 'Wunderwaffe' when I first saw it, but I could be mistaken. Are you kidding? Those maps were aisles compared to this.

Huh. So the first level is an abandoned city. Very general. Hopefully it turns out well. I'm worried that the gameplay will be too different. Think about it: "very open". Did you see the street? It's huge! If it is the same, it'll be extremely easy. Just run circles all down the street.

Vague answer? It's not an answer at all! Q: Are we having apples for lunch tomorrow? A: Check out the library for fruit info! Q: Are there going to be Zombies? A: Check out E3 for Black Ops 2 info! It's a redirect. They didn't answer the question; they just said something for the sake of saying something. They're avoiding answering the question.

No. Zombies will have its own timeline, sure. It's time travel; it's kinda hard for it NOT to have its own timeline. However, Zombies and the campaign DO take part of the same universe. However, that universe is diverging from the real life universe.

I have a question. I preordered a copy of Black Ops 2, and it is to be mailed to my address. When/how can I expect to receive the poster and the other preorder bonuses?

To me it just looks like "ZZ" in a square.

I'm pretty sure it is a new character. Although, I would personally love the idea of it being Samantha if it were worked out logically. For example, we'd have to have in the storyline of the upcoming game that Samantha was able to get her body back, but Richtofen got absorbed into the MPD himself. That way, by the time of the future, she'd be a full-grown woman. I think this is rather intriguing, because she'd be psychologically interesting. She'd be the kind of woman to not take crap from anyone; easily kill Zombies at will. She'd have a dark side due to her childhood, but deep down she'd still be a good person.

There's only one version. But the bonus you get depends on when you preorder it. Preorder it now and you get the poster plus three other, for-now unknown prizes. If you wait too long, you might not get anything good. I am curious as to what the other things are. They've started off small: a poster. Question is, are they going to steadily become more valuable? Perhaps the next will be pretty valuable, as well as the next, and the last might be moot. Perhaps the last will be the most valuable, but I'd imagine Treyarch would like to make hype for the game long before the release of the game itself. I see why not start big though; start small to bring anticipation. I'm hoping that, like last time, the give some free maps.

It might be possible that the 8-player mod will have minor characters that contribute very little to the story. i.e.: Four-player mode has Tank, Nikolai, Takeo, and Samantha. Eight-player mode has Jim, Jack, Jill, Joe, Jacky, Job, Joey, and Joel.

I just thought I'd bring this up early. In the storyline, many members of this site personally know that analyzers of the Zombies storyline is heavily influence by history. We have the Tunguska Event, the Vril novel, and Nazis in general as mere examples. However, this new game, Black Ops 2, is taking place in the 2020's, no? This will be the first confirmed time that the story takes place in the future. This can cause some problems. First, one source claims that the President is a woman. I'll assume it is correct. We must not be misguided by our history. There will now be a clear split in history. From thousands of years B.C.E. to 2011, we will use our history. However, from 2011 to the 2020's, we MUST use the Call of Duty history. I use the woman as an example, because 2020's is the near future. We might still be playing this game by that time. And by that time, we may never get a female president. It's a branching history. Here's another way to put it. Our most recent US presidents occur in this order: Ronald Reagan George H.W. Bush Bill Clinton George W. Bush Barack Obama However, by 2020, the recent list of US president might be: Ronald Reagan George H.W. Bush Bill Clinton George W. Bush Barack Obama Jim Buckaroo Oswald Brown Sim Simpson But in the Call of Duty universe, the US president might be: Ronald Reagan George H.W. Bush Bill Clinton George W. Bush Barack Obama Bob Bobswald Peter Peterson Morgan Smith In such a predicament where real history contradicts CoD history, we should always choose CoD history. And this difference really begins at 2011, the time of Call of the Dead, the last confirmed date. The presidential difference is a small one, but there might be unforeseen complications such as this in the future. I just wanted to bring light to it.

Won't that by definition mean that the people who play(ed) multiplayer a lot now be zombie fans? I don't see what's the harm in coaxing the "other" side to join the best Call of Duty game mode. :P

What you mean is that you wanted to correct me. I got some, but you got more. I see.

-_- Why did you bother asking if you already knew?

ServantA00001.txt, ServerOrigin.txt, and Giant9.txt use "ludvig". The other "Giant" files use "LUDWIG"

Why are you encouraging people to go look it up? That just makes your opposition more popular.

Also, with Zavoski, I want to know why you guys say Zavoyski? So: Zavoski? Zavoyski? Gersch? Gersh? Ludvig? Ludwig? I'm not sure on the first, but on the latter two I am pretty sure that both ways are acceptable. "Gersh" was used for the Achievement. "Gersch" was used in Intel 439. Both "Ludvig" and "Ludwig" are used in the CIA files.

Then more kids bring Pokemon cards just to be rebellious. Then all the schools ban the cards. Then years later everyone looks back and thinks... what the...

I understand; thank you I just think this is serious.
