Yeah, it's Richtofen. And only Samuel can hear him. But... why... what's wrong. At first, I thought he might only do it if you helped Maxis in Green Run, but turns out not to be so.

Your first tip to always rush the human contradicts your tip to let teammates ahead of you. Also, I advise ALTERNATING LT and RT. The two arms attack independently of each other. Therefore, you are giving a constant barrage. Finally, this is more for my sake, but I want to list all the Power-Ups, because this match adds a whole bunch:

I don't know all of what he says at the moment, but what interested me is this line: "So I can talk. And you should listen." Rather demanding... I mean, whether he is good or bad, there's logic to him saying that. It just... sends shivers up my spine.

Thanks guys. I updated it. Anyone else please?

We need to look at the history of industrialization in that region to determine whether our current timeline needs to be reevaluated.

With the dragon achievement, and first hearing that sound effect, I thought for sure it must be a robotic dragon of some sort hidden deep in the buildings. But apparently not. So I have no idea whatsoever. o_o

Richtofen NEEDS them to fix the world. He REQUIRES them. When they die, he needs to bring them back because honestly, they're his last hope. Samuel says "mend the rift", not manning. It's one syllable. In the intro, they spawn on top of the building. They get into the elevator. they go down. They fight. In game however, you spawn on top of the building, which aligns with the last scene. I think this is more devil's advocate than anything, because you see Russman die and then come back in the intro... so... yeah. As for the the implications on Green Run, I've said nothing thus far because that has yet to been decided, at least for me. If he rewound time, they shouldn't have the deja vu. I mean, it is POSSIBLE for Treyarch to do that, but it is not possible if staying strict to solid fact. I'm unsure about the implications to Green Run. Honestly, I'd have to think through it a bit more. I thought that too at first, however, after listening to the voice many many times in the intro repeatedly, you see it is Richtofen. He speaks garbled. Then he speaks garbled but intelligible enough you can understand the words. Then Samuel goes "I don't understand." Then Richtofen clears his throat, so to speak, and repeats the message. Samantha was a nice little girl before being corrupted into what she is now. We all thought Richtofen was funny in Green Run. But what is Richtofen going to be corrupted into...? Btw, aliens are a part of the story; just minor roles thus far though. Interesting. While that is not unsound, that leaves unexplained the deja vu. I don't know. You may be correct in that. In fact, I never specify HOW he gave them life. But somehow or another, he did. The mechanism is unknown. Time travel... eh maybe. Some power of Aether? Maybe. *shrug*

No no. The intro clearly shows that Richtofen brings them over there. So the intro establishes that the intro itself is directly after Green Run. Therefore the map is after the intro. Also, notice the line "Have we been here before?" They retain a fragment of their memory, but only a deja vu kind of thing like the first poster said.

@Metacross: It is not a theory. If you've been around these forums, I'm a fact guy. Not so much a theory guy. The game has been out what... 8 hours? You ignored my Theater Mode accessibility point. If you can get there in the game, then Theater Mode should let you get in there the way you came too. Where do you get off discounting an in-game Perk machine 8 hours after release? Do you honestly have that much foreknowledge of this map?

Hello all. My last theory was the Maxis A.I. Which some of you might've heard of. However, I'm better known for my storyline you can see in my signature. Well you might be wondering: is Russman dead? This doesn't make sense! Well I have a theory that solves it. First, let's see the dialogue of the intro scene for Solo: Stuhlanger: "I don't understand." Richtofen: *garbled voice* Stuhlanger: "Why are you doing this? Why me?" Richtofen: *garbled voice* Stuhlanger: "Travel where? Don't you get it? There's nothing left!" Richtofen: *garbled voice* Stuhlanger: "Woah... How did you...?" Richtofen: *garbled voice* Stuhlanger: "What? What do you mean 'mend the rift'?" Richtofen: *garbled voice* Stuhlanger: "Well maybe I don't wanna, huh. Did you think of that?" Richtofen: *garbled voice* Stuhlanger: "No, you can't tell them about the flesh! What I did... They'd kill me if they knew! Ah sh*t!" Russman: "If you're gonna talk to your imaginary friend, Stu, you might want to wait until you're in a Z-free zone! *screams; death*" Misty: "Stupid-ger! Get over here! Now!" Marlton: "Come on! Come on!" Stuhlanger: "What do we do now?" Misty: "We arm up, find a good place to defend, kick *ss, and that's it." Richtofen: *semi-garbled voice* Accept your fate! Begin anew!" Stuhlanger: "I don't understand!" Marlton: "What are you talking about Stuhlanger? Misty made it pretty clear!" Richtofen: "Accept your fate! Begin anew!" Misty: "If we're going down, we're going down fighting! Ah! *screams; death*" Stuhlanger: "Have we been here before?" So it is pretty clear that this garbled voice is Richtofen, given the end. We know that Samantha could raise and lower the pitch of her voice at will. Thus far, Richtofen has used his normal voice. I believe what we are now seeing is him being able to control his voice, coupled with the fact that he can talk so that only Stuhlanger can hear him. Many people have seen Russman die. Does this mean that we are going to get a new character? Not so fast. When we play the game, we see that we do indeed have Russman. Furthermore, look at the end of the intro scene. Russman is there. Wait a minute. How is Russman there? He just died. But think about it. They ALL died. They reappeared with the same purple flash of light that Richtofen used to bring them there. Therefore, it is only logical to conclude that Richtofen has the power to bring them back to life if they fail, all in an attempt to get his goal completed. Begin anew.

Can you find any other usable doorways in any other map which are completely open, with no debris that blocks the theatre mode camera? The rule of thumb is, if it blocks the TM camera, it'll block the player. Can you? Just because you can't get there in Theater does not mean you can't get there in-game. You probably have to get there in-game, and then you can go there in Theater, just like when opening a door.

@Tridalo: I mentioned that as an option. However, I think these new things are a mutation of Phasing Zombies. In fact, if we cannot find a real name for them by Treyarch, I suggest calling them Chinese Phasing Zombies. Green Run, Nuketown, and Great Leap Forward are the current Black Ops II Zombie maps. Green Run is located in the Northern Hemisphere. Nuketown is located in Nevada, U.S.A. Great Leap Forward is located in Province 22. Green Run has some mini-maps: Bus Depot, Farm, Town, and Diner. Nuketown has NO mini-maps, just like the Black Ops maps. Great Leap Forward is made of one mini-map: Skyscraper.* We also know that: Green Run is located in Hanford, Washington. Nuketown is located not far from Area 51. Great Leap Forward is located in China. Does that clear some things up? * = So Great Leap Forward and Skyscraper are technically the same exact place. However, the different is between calling Australia the continent and Australia the country. (This example happens to have the same name twice.)

WOW! Syndicate must have been the FIRST PERSON IN THE WORLD TO HAVE SEEN THAT!!! Kidding. I saw that my second game. Not that hard to find. It's getting there that is the problem. Theater Mode viewing means nothing. There's tons of invisible barriers in Theater Mode.

Aw. That's sweet Chopper. Good for you.

They are NOT Phasing Zombies. Think about it like evolution of Pokemon: Zombie > Gas Zombie > Phasing Zombie So this new thing is EITHER: Zombie > Gas Zombie > New Thing Zombie > Gas Zombie > Phasing Zombie OR Zombie > Gas Zombie > Phasing Zombie > New Thing Also, PhD Flopper is in this map.

These are not Phasing Zombies. They are something new.

Well flesh has 115. Perhaps the 115 in his mind allows him to hear Richtofen? And I agree the mumbling is Richtofen. Question is: why is he mumbling?

I was hoping for a real dragon Or at least an animatronic. Something you actually face. Thank you.

This map is hard! I love it.

Thank you. They've been added. Nominating is now closed. We are now on the elimination stage. What this means is that I would like as many people as possible to post 9 choices below, any 9 choices, that they DO NOT want to be used. The 9 that end up with the highest number of votes will be eliminated from the selection. I'll start. Explanations are not necessary, but I encourage them. Headshot Perk - It's not really a Perk Deadshot - Too similar to Deadshot Daiquiri Instant Revive - It's not instant Metal Barriers - Just sounds lame Armour - English/British spelling differences Newb-Plate - Don't like to include slang Jugganoob - Don't like to include slang Ebolakill - Don't even know what this is Insta-Kill Explode - Explosions are irrelevant Now your turn. :)

To be honest, Electric, I have no interest analyzing something that we will find out the exact answer to in 12 hours...

Don't you think I would've if I had access to it PINNAZ? That's a pretty mean way to say that the achievements on the Xbox are updated.

People are spoiled rotten these days. They think the Ray Gun is a pea shooter because they have it. They think PhD Flopper is godly because they don't.

Prior to the release of Black Ops II, Achievements were released that were fake and leaked. Then the real ones were released. Then the game itself. I don't know the origins of those. Do you? If not, how do you know they are the real ones? I'd look at your source myself, but you source twitter. Hardly validating.

They may just be referring to the Ray Gun and Monkey Bomb...
