Slade

No backseat modding is allowed. Leave what's tolerable and what not over to staff. Don't talk about going to report posts. If you feel like reporting a post, then report it. Or don't. Finally, be nice to each other and keep things on-topic. The next one out of line gets an official warning added to their account.

You two hijacked the chat, didn't you.

Welcome back! Great to see another fellow PC slayer around these parts. Story-wise, in BO2 we follow the journey of the N4 as they power up a Tower in every map, then choose to get screwed over by either Richtofen or Maxis in the end. Along the way you keep hearing about stuff that's vaguely mentioned once and never referred to again, such as Broken Arrow, The Flesh and some Rift we were supposed to mend. I kind of lost track. Then it ends by revealing everything was all a game played by Samantha and her friend Eddy in their spare time. (gasp!)

Congratulations @PINNAZ @Tac @MixMasterNut and @Matuzz! Very well deserved indeed. @Lenne thanks for the monies.

Remake Shang and make it even harder muwhaha. Am I right, @Lenne?

You're really getting on my nerves now. Stop dragging this on by endlessly post-pumping the same balderdash already. Smith's talking about a concept thread. Concept threads go in Labs, not R&D. That's all there is to it.

What are you going on about. Concept Maps belong in Zombie Labs Speculation / Research / Theorizing about upcoming maps >> R&D. Read the forum descriptions.

Zombie Labs.

Beep, beep, beep, beep ! beep !! beep !!! My Mod Slacking Detector is off the charts ! ;O I have to agree. Someone's slacking, and I'm certain we know who... *cough* @Boom *cough* *cough* @Slade *cough* Boom's in charge of this months UOTM. Go point your torches and pitchforks at him.

It wasn't directed at you - or anyone in particular, Voyager. Just explained why we don't tolerate inadequate nominations anymore. Don't take it too personally.

I like that set up, as long as the name Future Zombies is changed. To me, that doesn't imply theory, that implies concepts, but apparently that's what Zombie Labs is for. Perhaps we could rename it to be the Research Facility or something like that? Research Station/Research Facility- I think something along those lines would work fine. We will of course have the short description on the main index. We could additionally pin a forum guide at the top of each, to further refine the forum use. How about Research Center?

You need to provide links to your nominee's posts alongside your written explanation for a number of reasons: It gives other members and staff more insight on your nominee(s). It proves said nominee is deserving of not only your, but also other people's votes. It shows you're not nominating X just because X is your buddy / has yet to win the robes. And it prevents nominations in the vein of "My third nomination goes to Tasha because gloves" from spamming the thread. We were way more lenient in the past; and it caused users to complain about the degrading quality of the nominations and contest. Zero tolerance for future offenses now.

Whilst I'll probably use the hide signature feature myself when browsing mobile, I think signatures should definitely be enabled by default. Signatures that abide by the recent more stringent rules shouldn't be too obtrusive and shouldn't increase load times by that much of a significant margin. Have a post in Site News or Member Lounge detailing how you can turn off signatures for anyone who finds them annoying, and start removing sigs that break the rules again.

World At War already has a sequel; it's called Black Ops.

What exact difference would it make if CoD 2015 was a next-gen exclusive title? We'll end up with roughly the same product no matter which scenario plays out.

Texture quality would be similar to AW's MP mode, probably better. So we should be good graphics-wise. Game being cross platform doesn't matter much, lowering texture and render resolutions takes a few seconds. (Click images for full 4K resolution)

If @Slade and I can grab some kick-ass images, we'll definitely work our magic. *ahem* *Whistles passively* I don't think we want to jump the gun on that one either. Let's make sure we don't get extinction'd Killjoy!

Sounds to me like he's just saying how much he hates Americans in general, by naming the things that are considering typically and undeniably American. It's like saying those stupid French people with their wine, baguettes and their refusal to speak english. Why does he hate apple pies? Because it's an American thing. Why does he hate baseball? Because it's an American thing. Why does he hate American children? Because they're American. Or maybe it's a reference to the book 'As American as Mom, Baseball, and Apple Pie' by Lindo J. Holland-Toll. Which is of course a reference to the famous phrase As American As Apple Pie. Richtofen calling out Maxis's Accent This one is simple. Richtofen hating Maxis's accent means that they are both from different regions of Germany. My German teacher for instance never ever shuts up about how people in the east of Germany have a much more calm, smoothing and "prettier" accent compared to the south, who speak a lot more faster and fiercer according to her. Interesting read nonetheless.

Here's something I noticed. Die Rise's comic isn't in chronological order. If you read it from left to right like any other comic, it starts with them arriving at Die Rise and ends with them going from Tranzit to Die Rise. It's like you're supposed to read it manhua (chinese comic) style, much like manga. From right to left. Nice find on the checkered tile floors, I never noticed that.

There's no limitation on the amount of threads one can make, nor will there ever be. I can understand the frustration however when someone makes a new thread for something that could just as easily be added to the OP of his previous thread. Report threads so we can merge them when necessary. Or just ask the member in question.

Certainly not forgotten friend. During early design stages of the Announcer Rank, I actually wanted the three Announcers; Richtofen Sam and Maxis each as their own separate rank. But they all didn't turn out that well, so we opted for the one we currently have instead.

@GRILL I thought that wasn't possible since the Forum automatically gives you the next rank once you have accumulated enough posts? @Hells Warrrior
