I can attest to this, I was tirelessly playing matches of zombies for the longest time trying to achieve shotguns but to no avail was stuck at a knife. Finally I simply lost concern and just played multiplayer for a good while, maybe a month or so. When I came back to zombies my friends were all very interested in grief so I joined them as I grew a huge enjoyment of mob of the dead grief... After wining 11 matches in a row I went to play buried when it was released and made it to simply round 35 with one down... emblem was still the same directly after and I got offline... Three days later I got on and HOLY GIMINEEZ there it was... I immediately reviewed my recent games to see what may have sparked it and all I noticed that I hadn't ever really done in the past was having played and won 11 grief games in a row... this was just about two weeks ago as well... So if other people are having this happen as well then I find this close to definitive proof that while grief doesn't directly affect rank it definitely allows one to "slingshot" forward in rank if they do very well in grief than have a fairly good survival run... This should def all be posted into the general discussion for ranks as well to let people notice this possible trend...

In regards to this I would say that I'm ecstatic that well have to wait two years rather than one, this means more production time which allots for (hopefully) better gameplay, more maps (one map at launch as of this point with zombies being as big as it is is just unjustifiably ridiculous), and more features, along with overall better quality to really grind out bugs and glitches...the idea that a game needs to have a sequel every year is a gesture that I find plaquing the quality of most franchises. In regards to the games rating for me...hmmmmm 8.5 -The ranking system was a let down, though I def dont want it to be a time progression system, otherwise known as a leveling, not a ranking system. No lobby leaderboards were a let down as well. -the new characters took way too much of a comical leap, badassery with comedy sprinkled in (Dempsey), is much more enjoyable than complete comedy with no sense of why they were able to survive (Samuel) - The story has been decent, so far its answered several questions though simply raised hundreds more, but as most said until the last dlc is released we really cant tell whether or not our questions, hopes, and expectations for this game have been met, to some extent... - the gameplay has been exceptional, period - the wonder weapons have been a gradual joyride but to begin with were garbage - the maps have all been pretty fun, tranzit not so much but all other maps I've really come to enjoy. -buildables are a great addition. -greif has been a fun beta that I hope will evolve into a distinct nature in the next game honestly I could keep dissecting further and further but I'd rather not as this is too long already, so in the end a solid 8.5...ish haha

Oh wait just fully read OP, I dont think having the m1911 become simply the mustang and the mustang and sally being an attachment would be to epic, I would much rather prefer that It stayed as is and was able to achieve more attachments along with its dual wield being the end result of PaP for the m1911

Honestly I feel PaP should have more implications, such as more remarkable traits, such as the krauss defibrilater or the former crossbow PaP, even simple things like the skullcrusher or aug under barrel shotgun were all nice, but simply put yes, more attachments would be boss

YES YES YES haha...I've been wanting more attachments and customization since the first implemenation I saw with Halo 3, let alone the cod zombies series... Mustang and Sally with laser sights, how fookin boss would that look, and they would actually hit what I want instead of majically curveballing into nothingness :D

Alright so in regard to the last map pack I feel theres many things that could be done, but in relation to black ops 1 having the last map pack with 5 zombie maps i think my idea is possible. I dont honestly wish to see the old maps brought back to black ops 2...it was cool on black ops 1 only cause i had yet to play them on world at war, and therefore thought they were awesome, but people who had experienced the originals hated the new re-hashes, and I would rather not have the same experience. What I would like to see is one new zombie map, giant and amazingly as boss as moon, and instead of four zombie map re-hashes from black ops 1 (assuming the last map pack will be all zombies like black ops 1 was) I would like to see four maps specifically designed for grief. Not cut outs and edits of former maps like the current grief maps, but rather maps that are all newly designed and structured to work specifically as a raw greif map. Now I honselty feel as though mob of the dead is the greatest grief map as of yet, no because of phd haha, but rather because its a grief map in its raw form. Theres realistic and beleivable factions, i.e. guards and criminals, tight confined places that allow for ease to separate teams from reviving allies if they arent careful, little areas to simply train zombies but several small places where it is probable, and finally actual traps that allow you to actually "Grief" the other team allowing you to utilize tools outside of simply just being the better survivor. It has actual competitive aspects that make grief feel like a versus mode rather than a simple survival mode with extra players. In the end this is just my opinion but Im just curious to see how many other people would support 1 new map and 4 smaller/uniquely designed grief specific maps. :)

Holy dag..didnt even consider this as a possible opportunity...that would be sincerely boss status if you could choose your character at the beginning...so tired of constantly restarting solo games to get my preferred... Nice possible find...

Aight so the only question I'm really curious about is after u do the "Blood Sacrifice"...should their be three fireworks...or two...not the reincarnation is key...but after he says..."ENOUGH" should their be a third fireworks on the dragon or not...because I feel as though I've done everything correctly so if its not appearing then I'm done trying this...

One whole day wouldnt account for the entirty of your downs...and they may be estimates...but theyre not "random" percenteges...I pay close attention to the downs I encur during my gaming...and roughly 80% are in fact due to attemtping to revive fellow teamates along with the other percenteges accordingly... I keep close track of how I die in order to not repeat past mistakes and learn how best to counteract them...I dont spout random percenteges...simply rough estimates

The blue eyes would have nothing to do with the rockets...which were fired by Maxis notRichtofen...there eyes changed on moon as well which would disprove any relevency to the rockets... Honestly I truley believe they changed them to blue in order to push the nazi notion that blue eyes blonde hair is the perfect race...and richtofen being fond of nazi sentiments changed theyre eyes aesthetically just because he could and prefered them blue...

Obviously the eye colour is in regards to who is in control...hes just wondering why the eyes would have to change colour in the first place...as they could have just as easily left them the same colour...there is no "definitive scientific" answer to why they changed if any answer at all...they could have just as easily made them hot pink and people would try and dissect the IMPENDING REASON OF WHY IT HAPPENED...

According to nazis yes...yes you are haha...according to anyomne else not so much

Public Games: 80% trying to risk everything in the attempt to revive fellow teamates... 15% incidental mess-ups and lack of proper decisions(primarily in games that have lastest long enough for me to become careless) 5% me being a dumbarse and screwing with both the zombies and my friends (early game, before getting jug when I just feel like being dumb ) Solo: 80% simply surviving as it eventually has to occur 20% boredom (i almost fell asleep on round 40+ just from the pure repetitivness) Also on a side note there should really be a added choice to vote on for No man left behind i.e. people who try and revive teamates no matter the reason, distance, or frequancy of said downy...as thats considerably all my downs in public games simply trying to be a good team mate...

Honestly I doubt theres any sudo-scientific reason for the eye change as the background and lore of zombies is mostly contrived from theory by the players... But based on nazi history and in my opinion...the eyes are blue primarily because the nazis under hitler's regime glorified the ideal of the perfect arian race...i.e. blue eyes blonde hair(this is an actual fact*)... Therefore richtofen being I believe a nazi or at least an individual who shares similar beliefs he decidedly changed the zombeis eyes to blue to convey the notion that the zombeis are the "pure" and perfect race of beings...though I dont think they'll be growing blonde hair anytime soon considering their currrent state of...err...death

What there weapons that revive people...HOLY DAG...I had no dagum idea...no wonder we've been failing this ste...yeah okayI'm done...obviously you neglected to read every single post in this thread...we know what the weapon is...what to do with it...and even though people will always deny the existence of something that "hasn't happened to me" I assure you I have done every step to the exact necessary requirements...

I hope your joking...if not please explain...because Halo 2 had a far more superior ranking system than this

Dont think anyone was whining...though I spose in the "new-age" gaming community any time someone is remotley against something and simply comments about it its refferred to as whining...I believe the OP said he was simply getting it off his chest...and I was simply commenting on the shallow ignorance of most gamers/internet users...not even slightly whining... Honestly though I really dont give a dag...if I'm being reffered to as suger-tits until the game ends...I decide to spice things up a bit...maybe not revive certain individauls...accidentally...mis-place...certain buildables... I just have fun...bother me at all...I can simply aquiesce with the plight here...not arguieing it...

The tridalo guy is the one I was referring to...

If you're referring to me, it was a joke... Comic relief for the thread. :| nah wasnt reffering to you haha...the mod removed the comment I was quoting so I guess the quote was removed from my comment as well...

Yeah thanks for adeuatley portraying the ignorance and non-Mature (18 and under, some unfortunatley even over) dumb-arses that plaque the gaming community... and on a more personal note if you judge any individual just by the way they dress or appear then you must have pool of friends more shallow and "piss-poor"(emphasis on piss) than the kiddy pool at the YMCA...if any (female) friends for that reason

...

Not to be rude but please dont post potential fixes if you havnet attempted the Maxis easter egg...Richtofen and Maxis' steps differ and the step in question doesn't pertain to Richtofen...Also the reason people fail the Maxis easter egg more often than not is due to inability to pass a certain bugged step, not inability to survive...

Thanks for all the replies...not sure what im gonna do though as there seems to be no definitive fix for this... Think I'mma try and re-download the dlc...maybe some script got incorrectly placed or some s***...considering I'm the only one of my friends to die on the elvator slide and mystery box slide and I've died doing so in every which fashion...I'm beginning to wonder if it has something to do with the dlc itself...gonna re-download and see what occurs... Honestly though...Def feeling as though this is simply a result of all the glitches that are Black Ops 2 zombies...I love zombies and the new developments with this game...but Black Ops 2 is easily the glitchiest game I've ever played...and thats next to Skyrim and Fallout...as those games glitches never impeded my quest progress or even more so KILLED me...will post results...

Aight so me and several friends...along with several randoms another time...along with several randoms and a friend...along with every which dagum way possible to do the easter egg Maxis side has to no avail failed... Every time we get to the 4 Step: Riencarnation is key...IT WONT LET US COMPLETE THE STEP... Heres a run through of what we do during the games...we turn on power, do the elevator pads...do the chinese misc. pads...snipe the balls (no specific character as several different people have done it each game)...then we proceed to kill...alot...for 10 rounds(which I believe is the max number you have to wait) then we hear "RIENCARNATION WILL REVEAL THE WAY FORWARD" yet it never allows us to pass this step...we tried shooting the floor with PaP'ed knives...shooting the buddhas...shooting every which character whos who and no whos who...self sacrifice, and accidental death...stulingher using the knives everytime... and IT NEVER WORKS... Are we supposed to grab the dragon artifacts (spheres)...not grab the the spheres...weve done it both ways... but the odd part is that he never says..."THATS IT,ENOUGH" or whatever hes supposed to say...and he never makes note of the Ballistic Knives imortance after being PaP'ed ...yet I've seen him make note of this for people who havent dont any steps of the easter egg... Are there some overlooked prerequisites...having done the tranzit easter egg...having havong done the Richtofen before the Maxis easter egg...?... are there any circumstances in which people are having the same trouble... Is the Easter Egg simply as glitchy as the map itself...what is it... Please Help

Are you talking about the Galvaknuckles with Ballistic Knife? I'm pretty sure that's because the player holds the knuckles in their right hand, the same hand that the Ballistic Knife is held, as opposed to the left hand when using the Bowie Knife and Sickle. Sure, they could have swapped the hands for the knuckles, but that would require new animations and more time put into a weapon that was arguably the least-used in Black Ops. IMO it's badass, it gives you an electric knife Actually it switches to galva-knuckles directly as you knife...its just that the animation is so wuick that it can be easily misconstrued as an electirc knife...which would be bad-arse but unfortunatley is not the case...
