When Black Ops 2 came out, we were given two "names" for Tranzit/Green Run. Everyone concluded that "Tranzit" must be the game mode and "Green Run" is the Map name. Now that Die Rise/Great Leap Forward has shown there will be multiple names with no other maps to go along with them. There will not be another Tranzit. There will not be another Die Rise. I think since we are technically being told a story through a magazine in the loading screen, the developers were referring to Green Run and Great Leap Forward as chapters in history. Both names signify a particular timeline and event that happened, so why not have a chapter name? I'll admit that we haven't had this in the past, but what other explanation could it be? I personally like the idea of it.

We know this crew has already died before by zombies, and were revived by Rictofen. Who is to say Samuel will be the only one to hear him next time around. I assume the effects Samuel is experiencing is due to long term side effects. This would be the reason no one else can hear him at the moment. All of this is speculation as we aren't sure if it is the cannibalism or the possibility that this was not the first time Samuel has died... It is up in the air...

After looking it up.... it is definitely not ethical. It may not be a "glitch" by definition, but was definitely not meant to happen. I could see this being fixed by adding a spawn just above or below this area where zombies jump up/down to this level. I'm not gonna lie. I'm about to try this out for myself but everyone can watch my leaderboard. I will be offline.

You should really start looking around before you post. You know, think before you act. This thread I am about to link was only half-way down on the FIRST page of Die Rise. It has almost the same title as well. This thread actually took the time to explain a few of the spots as well. A little effort goes a long way. Sorry to be so blunt. http://callofdutyzombies.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=139&t=28768

I only hear the moaning soundins while playing as Samuel. The zombies as a whole might sound slightly different this time around, but I don't believe DOLBY did the sounds for the games before this one. I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure it's only Samuel.

I took the elevator on my very first game of Die Rise and found this out. I accidentally found the key and once I did I began searching immediately and to my surprise I found it. A few other things that weren't mentioned before: If half or even only one person wants to take the elevator, everyone can pile in and leave whoever they want behind. Once the key is inserted, the elevator leaves no matter what so there may be strategies similar to Verruckt with splitting up and/or never opening a certain door. It is also a good idea to put the key in even if no one wants to go back up, as having the elevator at the top of the shaft is much more beneficial than having it at the bottom. @OP: Great topic for the newcomers. Good job.

Glad to help man... I haven't died "yet" either. I'm hoping this is a solution to the problem and not temporary or only for some people. I'm dreading the reply that reads: "Nope, I still died and I jumped right."

My only question is: Is this somewhat hinting toward more zombies in future games? Why would they start so far back? The first message is recent and basically explains (vaguely) about the ranking system and easy difficulty. Why would they go back to a time that we already know about? The only reason is that we will slowly receive updates/hotfixes, and they will fill in the holes this way. I can't imagine there being enough hotfixes in this game to explain at least WaW maps, let alone the rest. That is why I say this.

You don't really need money in the bank, but it makes it much easier. As for an easter egg strategy, I think the bank is definitely a good idea to fill as often as possible. Once you decide to do the easter egg or find a good team to do it with, you can start either egg by round one and have it finished by the time rictofen has been pleased with zombies or by the time "him" spawns for maxis. Luckily I was able to complete this with my cousin and didn't need the other two people. One thing I can say is that ALL of the easter eggs throughout zombies require patience. I thought for sure I would never complete the "Die Rise" egg, as my team couldn't do the elevator step. We could never time it right. I hop into a random lobby with my cousin and we complete it in 12 rounds. Never underestimate randoms. Sometimes they turn into friends. One thing most people fail to realize is the fact that all of us are randoms. Sure if you watched for a while before joining, you can have an opinion on a person, but you don't know that person. Randoms deserve respect until proven otherwise. I'll admit that most randoms prove otherwise, but this doesn't mean all are bad. That is profiling or stereotyping without race/ethnicity/age/gender/sex. By saying you hate randoms you pt yourself in the same boat. Hell I didn't know "julpr" before I joined this site and now I wouldn't mind joining a game with him anytime. I didn't know a lot of people on my friends list until I played with them via multiplayer or zombies. I say again: Never underestimate randoms. Another thing to keep in mind is that you may end up not being the correct person in doing the easter egg so communication is key. Make sure you join up with the few good randoms you find, and search for more...

Truthfully I am more interested in the cabin. Someone had to live there at some point and it could have been one of the new crew. I'm gonna check again and give it a thorough search, but for the life of me I can't remember seeing any names there. There could have been books on subjects that the players mention. Possibly science books for Marlton. Cannibalism for Stuhlinger. Butchery for Misty. Badass for dummies with Russ? IDK I'm gonna check it out.

Can't say I have ever had the problem with the part on the barrel, but I have encountered a problem with respawning parts once someone falls off the edge of the map. One game I played, I found the flag after searching everywhere, and it was floating on a death barrier between buildings. Instead of respawning the flag in the first room, the game left it out of reach and the only way you can get it is to die, thus leaving it there again. [facepalm]

Well I have come to the realization that we will never have a "finished product." We paid money to be beta testers basically. It's like there isn't even a beta test or any sort of test before they ship the game or DLC. WE are the testers and Treyarch realizes their mistakes through Youtube videos and abnormal leaderboards. I'm pretty much over the game I lost, but I still don't find it necessary to end all games at the time to add information EVERYONE already knew. Of course Maxis was skeptical. We found all of this out before hand. I just don't understand.. I am more upset by the game-ending/exploit glitches that are so frequent nowadays. It seems like since Black Ops they don't care. So you can end my game to add a little tid-bit about Maxis, which I for one care nothing about, but you can't fix the glitch in the elevator shaft that kills you because the game THINKS you are trying to cheat? Why would I want to camp on that little platform near AN-94? Thousands of zombies and you think I want to be in a closet sized area? Just take the death-barrier off. Sorry to go off topic but it really is becoming rediculous.

http://callofdutyzombies.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=139&t=28722 I didn't catch it in game either so don't feel bad. I am a little pissed that it ended my game for something so simple.

So why did you double post in one post? :?

NO NO NO! Not the left, the right. If you go left you will surely die. I think it has to do with a second ramp that we hit. I'll try looking at it in theater real quick... EDIT: After looking at the second ramp, it does seem to fit my theory. The ramp is higher if you jump toward the right. Whether or not this helps the fact that we get stuck is uncertain, but you will definitely take less damage by jumping toward the right of the first slide. EDIT2: After watching myself die and watching myself succeed in this problem, I think I can say for sure that jumping to the right is your best option. I will say that no matter what you do, it seems to kick you into the same corner. It is just the angle you are traveling that determines if you get caught up. If anyone goes to this area in theater mode they will see what the culprit is. Watch yourself fall in slow-mo and see exactly where you land. You see that little piece of wall that is jutting out? Say hello to the thing that has caused you to die continuously... :evil:

This is not related to AN-94 as I rarely purchase that gun anymore. I go for the PDW. I used to die over and over it seemed like at first. As for the post above me, it is definitely a glitch and Rictofen laughs when breaching areas you shouldn't have made it to. I know he laughs when other things go out of the map, like monkeys and gershes, but to say that this is simply a chance you take is a little off. I could see if someone encountered a zombie in there, got hit, and when they dropped the fall damage+zombie slap=death. I could even see if maybe someone wasn't careful and went too fast, thus taking a lot of fall damage. What is happening here is none of that however, as I am a very cautious person on this map and rarely die due to being careless. This is an all-out glitch, which causes you to get stuck on the ramp, and makes the game think you are trying to cheat. It seems like it would be an easy fix, just round the edges a little more, but who knows.. As for aiming toward the middle, I too have had success/failures at doing this. I have started drawing an imaginary line in the middle and stepping just to the right and I haven't gone down due to the glitch in a while. Hopefully this helped, if not oh well..

I have started looking at BO2 zombies as chapters. They know we dwell on storyline so why not add chapter titles? Green Run was a clever take on the buildables and the fact that everything kind of revolved around the new world atmosphere. (If you jog instead of taking a bus, you have saved the world energy, at least on your part) Great Leap Forward was a play on the fact that we spend most of our time jumping around the map, and PINAZ's thread solidifies this by history. These are chapters, not map names. I mean, look at the fact that we have a comic book for a loading screen, doesn't this point towards it?

So this gets thrown to the bottom? Wow... I guess I know now for future reference. :?

"Der", "Die", and "Das" all mean "The" in German. In German language, "The" has three different gender beings. Der - Masculine Die - Feminine Das - Nuetral Each word in the German language uses one of the three articles der, die, or das. Now that you've learned the first thing about German language, you'll see that is completely correct - Mix I stand corrected. Sorry OP. Thank you Mix. There are still some pretty bad errors. Just saying.

This is completely incorrect. How can Der Reise mean "The Giant" if "Die Rise" is The Rise? I never have been one for studying German but anyone can see the difference.

I knew this would be the case. It seems it is all happening a little faster than I expected: http://callofdutyzombies.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=136&t=26598&p=258882&hilit=+navcard+prophecy#p257751 Sorry for the search highlights and such a long link, I know no other way.

The pylon is the power line tower that is found in the middle of the corn fields. It is needed for both sides of the EE on Tranzit. (Rictofen/Maxis) You can find most of that information just by browsing the forum. I think you should stay a while. Learn some things, you know? ;)

I have yet to do a post count thread so I guess I will choose 935. Not too sure where this will lead, but I guess we will see now won't we? I think I will make this a "Great Moments in Zombies" thread. I will update this OP every once in a while to include new videos of random players around the world doing what we do best... ZOMBIES To start things off I will add the epic revive I accidentally stumbled across. Rw-t45vejuY I would also like to add: 7GAVNyP1rzo Not only would I like to show the videos I have seen, but I want to see yours as well.. So let's see or hear about your experiences with this awesome game mode.

Alright alright. Easy there. We don't need arguments. I agree/disagree with this thread. I can't help but agree with your points, as you were very neutral in your decisions. All points make since and your post was worded beautifully. Well done. The only thing I can say for disagreeing is the fact that I love this map. It is by far the best map ever IMO. Nothing bad to say that hasn't already been stated. I love it.

No that wasn't the one. But a great video never-the-less. The video I was mentioning would put this one to shame though. I can't find it on ELITE for some reason, which is insane being as it is easily the first video that gave theater mode a purpose in zombies. This video is completely insane. You have to see it. I will do my best to find some sort of link. I promise I am not trolling. EDIT: I am going to update the OP with a link, but it isn't the one I was thinking. This is still pretty badass if you ask me... ;)
