My first Zombies experience was Nacht, after beating the campaign on WaW. I actually bought the game for my fiancé, but decided to give the campaign a try after watching him play it a bit. I beat it before him, found zombies, and fell in love. I remember pulling the Ray Gun out of the box for the first time. I thought to myself, "Dafuq is this alien weaponry?!" - Good times indeed. It's become somewhat of an obsession and I've had tons of fun playing it with my fiancé and friends. I'm proud to say I've been playing it with the same three guys since the very beginning, and it's been a blast. We've become so tuned into each other, lol.. makes playing even more fun. Killing zombies brings me joy.

I've had my share of fits when it comes to spawning in as my ghost self with Who's Who, but last night tops them all. I was playing with my fiance, his friend and his friend's girlfriend. We were just messing around, introducing her to zombies since she's brand new to the game. I wasn't even planning on picking up WW, but I received it from the Jacks. I needed to grab a Jugg, which was over on the far side of the roof, by the box spawn location, so I headed in that direction but I got double swiped from behind and went down. Next thing I know my ghost spawns in, on top of Jugg elevator, just in time for it to go up and crush me. I was pissed, to put it mildly. I've never seen (or heard) of that happening to anyone. I couldn't believe it! I'm not sure how it even happened, but it really burned my biscuits. It's not like we were playing a serious game or anything but still.. crap like that just shouldn't happen. I would rather have my ghost spawn into a hoarde of zombies and go down that way instead of being squished by a damn elevator. I didn't even have time to react. It was just spawn in, squish. I'm hoping it was some sort of one time glitch and it doesn't happen again, lol.

I know a lot of people believe they should reset the leaderboards, and they probably should, but I'm doubting that they will. Like you just said, they aren't going to go through every single game to see who used this to get to a high round and who didn't. A lot of people have used this "glitch", myself included (don't worry, I was local and got bored of it at round 30, don't know how someone could stand to sit and do that for hours!) and I'm betting it would take a good chunk of time to sift through everything to see who used it. It would definitely be unfair to reset those who got to high rounds without it.

This is very useful information! Thanks for taking the time to get it all together, and sharing it with us!

I feel like this is just completely screwing those over who worked their asses off to get to high rounds. Like this "glitch", or whatever you'd like to call it pretty much squashes what they did with legit strategies, making it worthless to an extent. I'm not the type of person who cares about high scores and leaderboards. I mean, I'm not much better than the average player, but I have mad respect for those who can achieve these high rounds and awesome stats. Some people, myself included, may not care about their stats or positions on the leaderboards, but there are those who do, and take it seriously. And it just doesn't seem fair that some random person, maybe even a person with zero skill, can come in and do something like this and just shove the best zombies players out of the way. Anyway, that's just my two cents.

I like the idea of upgraded perks, but I'm thinking it may make things a bit too easy. But, if you add in NikolaisVodka's idea things seem more balanced. You and your team must choose what you wish to upgrade that game, weapons or perks. Hmm, I wonder what an upgraded perk would cost?

I've experienced the whole not being able to knife after going down with Who's Who and getting back up. Once was a couple of nights ago, another happened tonight. I literally could not knife. It didn't matter how many times I clicked the stick, it wouldn't work. But, I could knife again after dying off completely and respawning the next round. Needless to say I was prerty peeved, because I'm always going for knife kills when me or a teammate grab an Insta-kill, lol.

I'm not much into the CoD multiplayer, never have been, and I only really play when my fiance begs me to. That being said, it seemed like 1,200 MS points was a lot to drop for one Zombies map, but after playing it quite a bit I can say I'm not disappointed that I bought the DLC solely for Zombies. If you're big into killing hoardes of the undead, and you like to play and have a good time with your friends I would say go for it. It's a pretty cool map, imo. I was all, "Dafuq am I doing?!" when I first played, mostly because I got turned around and lost, but navigating the map becomes pretty simple after a bit of time, and getting lost and discovering things is all part of the fun. I like Die Rise a lot more than TranZit. I just have an all around better time when playing it.

It's funny, because I've never been downed by some glitch on the slide. Ever. And I jump down it, too. I jump to the left (on the very last part) and spin around so I'm facing the direction I'm sliding. I don't even take fall damage, I just slide down nice and easy every single time. I've only ever seen one person die because of this, and it was the very first game we played on the day of the DLC's release. It's weird to hear so many people complain about it and not experience it for myself. Usually when there's a widely known glitch or bug I run into them at least once or twice. Guess I'm lucky this time, lol.

How in the heck am I just learning about this now? Jeez, you take a break from Zombies for a little while and miss out on all the good details. You have my thanks for posting this juicy bit of information!

So that's where those zombies came from! Holy crow! We used a QED to knock the 'egg/artifact' thing loose from the pyramid and all of a sudden zombies were coming at us. I was all, WTF? I thought one of our teammates killed the crawler by accident but then I realized that the round didn't change... really good to know that they can do that!

I highly doubt that's the reason. They don't care about gamer score, I "piggyback" off my friend's arcade games and DLC all the time. As stated before, the reason you can't do it offline is because getting permanent perks would make you invincible in solo play due to quick revive being able to pick you up. It doesn't matter if every player had downloaded the DLC, you simple can't do it offline or in system-link play. I wish that wasn't the case. My internet connection doesn't always want to cooperate and there's nothing I can do about it because our ISP refuses to fix anything.. Stupid AT&T. I like playing split screen and system link games!

"It makes a big boom, it makes a tiny boom." - I got a kick out of that, lol. Thanks for posting this. I knew some of the things the QED could do, but not all of them!

He just racks up some points at Area 51, gets juggernog, and teleports, and just shows us like his early strategy. Then he's just running in the BioDome with the PaP WaveGun. It's actually kind of easy, except 70 must be a B!tch on your ammo lol. I see, I see. Seems like a lot of people favor running in the Bio Dome. I've only done it a few times, I mostly run around by Mule Kick. I haven't even come CLOSE to 70, though! I wish I could get that far. Maybe one of these days...

I sooo wish I could watch this, but sadly the internet I'm on at the moment does not like me watching YouTube videos. Anybody mind giving me a quick rundown of what he does? S'ok if you don't wanna, haha. :)

I've heard you need both achievements, and I've heard you don't need either.. The other night I was playing with a guy who spawned in as Richtofen, he had the Rod, and was able to put it between the plates, but he also told me he didn't have the achievements. I looked, and he didn't.. so I dunno what to say. Have you tried doing it again since this happened?

Those darn tubes are a pain! One is alright, but four just makes me mad.. lol. We ended up splitting it up between two rounds. The front tubes first, then the back. We also found that the Astronaut counts if you kill him close enough, and the Nuke counts (the zombies still have to be close when you get it), as well as Gersch. It actually took less time with a Gersch.. just throw that baby right by a tube and let it do all the work, haha. yeah unfortuneately the rest of us only had QEDs the guy that went down had the gerschs. tried throwing my qeds for the random revive but no luck. I hate the QEDs Well that just plain sucks! You know, I'm not really that big on the QED's myself. I've only really used them for the EE, but I dunno.. they just aren't really my thing, lol.

Ahh, we didn't hack the PaP.. and now I'm afraid to, lol. We always tossed a Gersche to give us time to PaP our guns. I knew you could hack the PaP, just never tried. Well then, I wonder just what in the heck was going on when our zombie never came back... maybe he had better things to do? Lol.

How often has this happened to you guys? It hasn't happened to me... yet. At least I don't think it did, lol. The first first time I played the map and teleported to No Man's Land and back I looked down at the round counter and it wasn't there, but then it came back and flashed white. I thought, "Okay, maybe it's supposed to do that." - It always flashes white I've found, but what was weird was the fact that we left a crawler before teleporting and when we came back he was NOWHERE to be found. We had a counter, just no zombie. The round lasted and lasted until we quit. From what I can see you guys didn't have any zombies, or a counter.. but I had the counter, lol. We looked EVERYWHERE for that stupid zombie. He was just.. gone, haha.

That's not very nice. I didn't know that it said something different if played in reverse, so not old to me. I think it's cool!

I don't know if anyone has mentioned this or not, and I imagine a lot of people have figured it out on their own by now, but I'm gonna post it anyways just in case.. I've found that you can do some of the steps for the Egg out of order. For instance, we had a heck of a time trying to get Excavator Pi to breach Tunnel 6. We decided to restart after waiting for so long. This time, we only opened the doors leading through Tunnel 6 to the power. We flipped the power on and waited for a bit, fighting off the Zombies there by the Stakeout and the Pyramid. Well, by round 6-8 the first place to be breached was Tunnel 6 (It's not always the first to be breached, even going through Tunnel 6 only, but we did find out after doing the Egg a few times that it was usually first OR second). We hadn't done Samantha Says yet, and we hadn't hacked the buttons or terminals in the lab. We let the excavator breach 6, left a crawler, opened up the labs, got a Hacker and bolted for the Teleporter. Once back in the Receiving Area we hacked the excavator and did the first part of the Egg. You can also knock down the plates by the Teleporter in No Man's Land right from the beginning, since all you need is a grenade. And If you manage to get Gersche and QED's pretty quick you can teleport them back to the moon and move the plates by the computer. You can find the wire to connect the computer to the plates at any time, I believe. At least, I found it after hacking the buttons in the lab. All of this can be done before step one of the Egg. When we did it I kept thinking, "Oh no! We did this out of order.. now it's not gonna work and we have to do it all over!" - But as it turns out, it worked.

Her songs always take a handful of listens for me before I get into them because I have a hard time getting past the screaming. I think I could listen to this song a 100 times and still not like it, lol... which is sad because I think she has a beautiful singing voice. The screaming just isn't my cup of tea. But, to each her own! :)

I don't so much mind the fact that the excavator doesn't always want to breach Tunnel 6 first, or that it always seems to take so long to get the QED's. No, I hate the fact that you apparently have to be connected to Xbox LIVE to spawn in with the Golden Rod. What the heck is up with that? I ran out of LIVE and had to make a whole new account with a free month to complete the EE with my fiancé, and now I have to go through everything again on my main account when I get LIVE back... Never had a problem doing any EE's through split screen or system link before.

I got to 28 with 3 people last night. We FINALLY finished the egg, too. It's been taking a while since you apparently have to be connected to LIVE to spawn in with the damn rod. My connection has been iffy lately and my XBL expired a couple of weeks ago so I went out of my way to make a new account with a free month, lol. Now I have to do it again on my main account. We would have quit from being so bored before we died.. but whaddya know? We got kicked. Pfft.
