bad karma

Okay, I haven't done much on this forum, I know, so my word may not count for much on this site. BUT. I believe that this may be a credible series of theories. I would like input, and discussion. My hope is that this thread (at least for the moment) becomes the place to discuss various theories about the storyline, where it is going, and WTF the deal probably was with the Origins ending cutscene. I have some theories of my own that I am posting here, that I will edit/add to periodically. Everyone is welcome to post their own theories about how things have or might fit together in the past three 'seasons' of zombies. Feel free to add to my theories, correct them, or whatever. And now...begin. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Fact: Exposure Ununpentium (Element 115) causes reanimation of dead cells. Result of above Fact: Reanimation of dead cells is ‘imperfect’, and results in partial resurrection of dead bodies. Layman’s Terms—Zombies. Related Fact: 115 may be used on living subjects, enhancing the subject’s abilities without any known consequences. (Update?) Fact/Theory: Certain individuals that are reanimated (Layman’s Terms—‘Zombified’) seem to undergo different transformations than generic undead. Some seem to retain their memories and personalities. Example of above fact: [Siberia Outpost—Codename: Call of the Dead. Subject: George Romero. Stats: Electrical Powers (Appears to be linked to spotlight utilized as a weapon), High Durability. Notes: Appears to have retained memories and personality, as well as a voice (Frequently uses movie references while pursuing survivors), Appears to be unwilling to attack survivors unless provoked (This could mean one of two things: Subject is fighting against urge to act like a generic undead, suggesting only partial zombification—OR—Subject is just toying with survivors, waiting for them to make the first move before attacking.) Fact: 115 may be utilized as a power source. Example of above Fact: 115 has been used in devices known as Matter Transferal Devices, also known as Teleporters. Example of above Fact: 115 has been used in various weapons known as Wunder-Weapons. Examples: Ray Gun, Wunderwaffe DG-2. Fact: The location referred to as ‘The Ether’ is known to be an area where zombies may be controlled/commanded. [Missing Data]: It is unknown what extent of control a ‘zombie controller’ (working title) has over zombies in general. (i.e. Area of control relative to area of focus) Layman’s Continuation of above [Missing Data]: It is not known whether a ‘zombie controller’ has complete control over the entire horde at all times in all time periods simultaneously, or if the controller must be focused on a specific time and place on Earth to gain control of the zombies. Fact [unconfirmed]: The Ether and its inhabitants experience time differently. Observations based on above Fact [unconfirmed]: It has been observed that controllers can move forward in time relative to observers on Earth (i.e. moving from Codename: Der Riese to Codename: Kino der Toten). Minor backwards travel was observed as well (moving from Codename: Call of the Dead to Codename: Shangri-la). Related Fact: Either [Subject: Ludvig Maxis] OR [Subject: Edward Rictofen] gained full control of the zombie horde in the period of time after The Second Apocalypse. The Subject became the Zombie Controller. Theory based on above Observations: Upon gaining control of the horde, and thus gaining the freedom to move though time via the Ether, the victorious Zombie Controller travelled backwards in time to a point where [Subject: Ludvig Maxis] and [Subject: Edward Richtofen] were researching Element 115. The Zombie Controller asserted control over a horde within the excavation site where the research was taking place, and, upon the discovery of the horde by excavators, caused the horde to run rampant through the site, attacking everyone in sight. It is also possible that the Controller discovered and activated three diesel-punk robots that had been previously undiscovered until the Controller came to this time period. The attack resulted in the infection of Ludvig Maxis. Working quickly, Richtofen removed Maxis’ brain before the infection reached it, and preserved the brain with the intention of restoring Maxis to a mobile state. The above event appears to have changed the course of history, rendering all prior events observed to a non-existent state—referred to here as ‘Status: Forfeit’. If this can assumed as true, then the Zombie Controller has prevented his own rise to power within the Ether, rendering their control of the horde in Codename: Excavation Site 42 to nothing more than an anomaly. The Controller himself would cease to exist, but the event caused would not be affected, given the theory that the Ether exists outside of time. Thus, the timeline of Earth appears to have been re-written. More evidence of this surfaces when it is noted that [Subject: Thomas ‘Tank’ Dempsey], [Subject: Nikolai Belinski], [Subject: Takeo Masaki], and Richtofen were observed to have disappeared within a column of light, that is rumored to be an entrance to Agartha, along with the [Subject: Maxis Drone]. If Richtofen and Maxis disappeared, then his work with Group 935 would never have been done. This would also mean that, with Group 935 seemingly leaderless, unless the world joined together to fight, there would be little standing in the way of the horde’s path across the Earth.

No I just gave up lol. It was getting virtually no response. I could start up again if I had some people willing to read it, but at the moment I have other, bigger projects going on. I. MUST. HAVE. THE REST. Please? :)

As with most things zombie related, I have a theory about this. Think about it. Why would it only Ferguson be turned into a Demon-Type creature? Come to think about it, why would George Romero be different? I'll answer these questions: BECAUSE THEY ARE EXCEPTIONAL BEINGS. Instead of just turning them into just another mind-less slave, the 115 works with the exceptional qualities of their minds to make them something more than zombies. I believe that Brutis/Ferguson, upon coming into contact with the 115 and dying, became the controller. Possibly, he wanted revenge on the Weasel for killing him, and thus, tried to make their existence "hell-on-earth", hence the appearance of the map. Ferguson was so exceptional, that his influence over the zombies caused the fabric of space-time realty to bend, bringing the future weapons and perks to this time period. Upon dying, Brutis lost his control, and that effectively contained the outbreak. And all was quiet..... until Samantha took control. Think about this. I had this theory long before BO2

Does anyone else remember Maxis' Diary entry when Die Rise was released? Look it up. I know it mentions sending test subjects through time.

I'm surprised no one else noticed. Note that the second DLC map of Black Ops 1 had cutscenes and celebrity characters. I KNEW that Treyarch was going to continue this trend. The question is....how closely are they going to follow it? I'm suspecting that it will be similar to the Call of the Dead Easter egg in some way. Obviously, not EXACTLY the same. That would be.....anti-climactic.

Not sure they'll put the devil in there, just a personal opinion. I don't think Treyarch is one to use cult activity. Government Conspiracies, yes. Who knows, though? I could be completely wrong!

IDEA! IDEA! Okay, so, we know Richtofen heard voices. We know (according to the radios on moon) that he started hearing them after he touched the Vril Device (The Pyramid). So, he had this connection to the aether, the voices of the zombies telling him what to do to gain control. Little did the souls of the aether realize how much of a psycho Richtofen really is. They wanted him in control, but regretted it almost instantly. Now, Samuel, because he ate 115 infused flesh (or whatever happened), can hear Richtofen and apparently, the voices of the zombies souls being tortured (not on purpose) by Richtofen's caustic presence. Remember that the zombies sometimes cry out, "Sam!"? Well, we know that this was because the zombies were being controlled by Samantha. But now they're not. And they're still crying, "Sam!" Maybe they're begging for someone else to control them. Give them relief. Someone else who can hear them. Samuel. Comment with your thoughts!

Think about this for a minute..... A Nacht style/sized map, set in 2025, with marines dressed in full 2025 battle gear, and we actually fight NAZI ZOMBIES. Have I got your attention yet? ;)

Brains, my friend. Brains.

Me? A Legend? Wow. Thanks! :D

World at War: Nacht der Untoten Verruckt Shi no Numa Der Riese Black Ops: Kino der Toten "Five" Dead Ops Arcade Ascension Call of the Dead Shangri-La Moon (Nacht der Untoten, Verruckt, Shi no Numa, Der Riese; revamped) Black Ops II: Nuketown Zombies Green Run (Tranzit) Great Leap Forward (Die Rise) Hope this helps.

You know, if possible, you should do a sheet like this for every map/game. It would be useful for newcomers or people looking to improve their gaming experience. Think about it! ;)

Thank you for your input. I didn't put this in the ZS for the reason that this is a campaign transcript. And, I thought It would get more input here. Sorry for the confusion. Glad you like this! Keep spreading the word! (If for some reason I DO need to move this, could you tell me how to? I have no idea how to. :oops: )

Sorry for the delay, everyone! Here is my next level. It isn't as long as my previous posts, I know, but I will have the rest of the level posted as soon as possible. Enjoy! Questions? Comments? Leave them below!

Okay, after hours of waiting, here it is! The conclusion of the Los Angeles level! Be prepared for a twist, and Henley's true purpose! Enjoy! Now, my friends, it is up to you. Shall I continue this story, or should I stop? The choice is yours. Leave your comments below!

Okay. Here is the next level. This is the most intense and edgy one I've done, so I hope I didn't mess up! Prepare to learn Henley's true purpose! Enjoy! To be continued.... :twisted:

Nice summary. Will we know anything new, or will there just be more questions? What the hell does "What once was, is no more, but shall be again!" mean?

Think about the levels you play in as him. The second level, in fact....come on, you can do this! :)

:shock: Wow. Just...wow. I had no idea you people liked this so much. I'm blushing! Seriously, look! :oops: You guys are why I do this! Thank you all! Next level coming soon! But 'til then..... Who is Bishop's friend, and where does he come from? And for bonus points....why was he taken? ;)

Sorry about the delay! Here is the next level! You thought Bishop was dead, right? Guess again! And he's got a friend that you might be familiar with! Enjoy! Any requests? Comments? Tell me below!

I am working on the next level AS I TYPE, so you won't have long to wait! And, it means a lot to hear that people are envisioning these things, and they like my imagery. Who knows? One day, this could actually become part of CoD Zombies mode! Then, that means.... :shock: THAT MEANS I'D BE KING OF THE WORLD :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had NO IDEA that my writing would go over so well! The only things that would make this better would be: -Getting a good comment from AlphaSnake -Getting 1000 views on this thread -This becoming a TREYARCH REALITY! I'm betting on the second one first .

Makes sense. I know that Ascension DEFINATELY had a campaign counterpart, so this could really be possible.

Alright everyone. Here is the conclusion to the Area 51 level. Enjoy, and as always, suggestions are appreciated, and If you believe that this should be continued, let me know! Anyone like my ending? ;)

Okay, so we all know there has been some debate (for lack of a better term) on when exactly Zombies in BO2 takes place. Many well known people, including RotflWaffles, are under the impression that Green Run takes place during the Cold War Era. But, I have another theory that, if true, could explain several things. Now, I have been told that judging a map's timeframe by its weapons isn't viable. But be honest: Many of the weapons used in BO2 CAMPAIGN have variations that are in use today. If the rockets hit earth in the late 60's/early 70's, these weapons couldn't have been invented. People would be too busy trying to survive the zombie apocolypse. Now, going off topic for a moment, the timeframe of Call of the Dead has also been called into question. I don't know what others think, but I, myself, think of the map as taking place on the EXACT DATE AND EXACT YEAR that the ESCALATION Map Pack was released on Xbox. Using this logic, we could probably assume that Moon takes place on the EXACT DAY AND YEAR the REZURRECTION Map Pack was released (for Xbox, of course). This would mean that the weapons we are using in BO2 would have had time to be invented, and thus are being used to slaughter the Undead. Does this make any sense to you guys? Comment or criticize, your choice, below.
