BO2 was bitter sweet for me. I was lucky enough to get the game 4 days early, and had even done 50 solo and 40 coop before general release. Problem was, during those 4 days I'd already grown bored of it. I won't even be getting the next game on pre purchase or whatever you call it. So many games have dropped the ball recently that I just can't be bothered to support sloppy publishers who rely on pre orders against making a shit game. I will definitely get it, but if there are bad reports from the first few days I'll grab it on PC and only use it to write guides and make some videos for this site. I came to CODZ initially to write and talk strategy, it's what I miss the most. I don't want to miss that aspect of a new game, but I can't see myself spending as many hours on this as on BO1.

Its impossible to get to 100 on COTD. I've posted the numbers a few times in the past and will find them if anyone wants them. My calculations said its impossible. On a normal map round 79 is 12 way to 100 time wise using insta kill wonder weapons.

I don't care what new stuff they bring in. I only care that theres a big button somewhere that allows me to turn it all off and go back to standard proper zombies. Mic only lobbies would be nice too.

Should be a ban on dalekdonut stuff being uploaded.

Seriously watch this with headphones, it's freaking awesome. If Treyarch made a trailer like this.....

You could say that, my point was only that on Buried, MOTD and Die Rise I have found many many ways to fuck up the start. Falling everywhere on Die Rise, not unlocking Leroy, forgetting the Wardens keys etc. So it depends on your definition of easy - when I get bored, I don't find things easy, I find them frustrating. I don't get frustrated on the older style maps, it's how Zombies is meant to be in my opinion. You make your points, you buy your shit. You don't spend 10 minutes with 1 zombie on round 1 running around doing everything, at least not in my mind. I don't understand this,

This site is not designed for members to have their work disparaged. That's always been the case. There were no complaints about this thread, if there had been it may have been handled differently. If you are going to post satire or sarcasm Mocking, please be clear. Especially in a detailed and well written thread. Otherwise the staff can only assume it's a clever way to disguise taking digs at people in a round about way. Which wouldn't be acceptable.

How is this not a medal?!

I think talking about which map is the easiest nowadays is splitting hairs. For instance Kino is the easiest map for me to setup on. Outside of being stupid and knifing everything on round 4, I never die on that map. It's really simple. Buried, MOTD and Die Rise though? I get what is being said about them being easy, the bank being accessible etc but I still think Kino or Der Riese are more simplistic. You don't have to think on the original maps outside of a very few basic things such as which side to keep closed, or which doors. There are too many choices to be made on the newer maps, too many different ways to accomplish basically the same thing. I made this video just for CODZ when MOTD came out to show how I start on it. This is much more complicated than any other map outside of Origins. It's easy when you know how, but this start isn't 'easy'.

I covered January guys.

For someone that doesn't follow the story I think this is madness. A list of topics that can't be discussed from a story that depends on the eye of the beholder?

@Hells Warrrior I've always wanted to do it mate, I've even tried on 3 or 4 occasions but it's just too difficult for me to do. The main problem is where to stop with advice - when I've done just high level clip notes for instance I realise that the guide could end up being 100 pages or so. A big issue for me is that I've spent hundreds of hours talking with Scottie and Steve about the most benign details of the mode. The thing is the majority of the stuff we talk about is the little things that add up, what makes the difference between a 360 and 370 game, 371 - 375, 376 - 379 etc. Breaking buzzer rhythm and gaining it back, when to not keep trying to stab a dog, where to stand to spawn trap dogs depending on how you kill a hoard, when to revert to cage shots, when to go to the pad to cancel dog spawns, when to kill half hoards (rarely)..... So every time I try and write it down, I just get overwhelmed. I know the basics so well, without needing to think about them while playing that to describe them is very difficult. Mate if I get time later I'll try and search through my old posts to see what I can glean out of them,

Wow 4 staff member welcomes plus our ruler and overlord Technical support! Welcome to the board (and don't mention independence in front of @Hells Warrrior )

It's entirely possible that a genuine legend or HoF worthy member could never win the UOTM. The whole point of these awards is that they are not set in stone, listed in black and white with rules and regulations to follow. @Tac - I have never seen the reason for HoF members to not be part of the staff. They don't need to be mutually exclusive. A Legend or Hall of Famer will feel right, there won't be a debate about them because if there needs to be they probably don't deserve it.

If you knew the hours and hours and hours that are behind my newer videos you'd understand. Sure, I might have always had quick reflexes and 'shakeability' but NML is almost as much about management as anything. Stud's 3 part analogy is very true for NML. My original list of basic approach is pretty good. Just remember unless you are a freak ninja zombie player, you are going to need to put in hundreds of hours to get towards 300.

Mr Frenzy, bit random mate.

This is this -

What rounds do you really start to have problems with? As early as 5? Good advice for no Jugg, not specific to Nuketown - Use closed doors. Let's say it's round 7, which has around 28 zombies. If you can survive the first 15 seconds of a round say, and then open a door every zombie is behind you. It's much easier to control a hoard coming through a single doorway, especially when you have an AK. So you will only have 4 new zombies spawn. You can do this pretty much every round until you run out of doors. Then use spawn control (look for a video on old Nuketown WRs, they probably used it). Outside of the above, you gotta practice mate. These are tips to control spawns, but dodgeability is something else entirely. Another user asked for the below video a while back, maybe it will help you somewhat but the spawns at 20 are much different than at say 7. At 7 it's definitely going to harder than what I'm showing.

Not many works of fiction, especially across series are rarely fully fleshed out when they are thought of. The most famous I know of that was, is Harry Potter. The most famous I know of that wasn't, is A Song of Fire and Ice (Game of Thrones). The best fantasy (my genre) starts with an authors idea and then after feedback things are changed. Treyarch probably storyboard the main points, and then wing it somewhat. As someone who doesn't follow the story but having read many opinions from other users who have, I can pretty safely say that Treyarch wrote themselves into a corner and couldn't get out.

I accept Bitcoins. Or suitcases of cash.

M&S because of NML and the fact that it's the best overall weapon for rounds under 50. Waffe because it's the most fun and takes a little more skill than it looks. The Sliquid because it's the most intense when used correctly. The Ice Staff because it makes you God.

Welcome to the site mate. People are ok to advertise their channels and whatnots. The CoC is used as guidelines, and it is being rewritten. Just have a bit of savvy about it. If you come here to participate in the community and happen to advertise your channel or latest video in a post or 2 you are going to have no problems at all, infact it's almost encouraged. We generally like to watch other members stuff, certainly I do as opposed to the shit that is all over youtube. If you come here with the intention of only using CODZ to advertise your stuff you are going to get short striff. Members will mark posts and people will not visit out of principle. But if you do participate in the community, the community will give back to you
