I like the VR11 but I don't use it because it's not the most useful weapon to have on Call of the Dead, especially when you're playing with someone who doesn't go down a lot. The VR11 on Call of the Dead, in my opinion, is kinda like the Matryoshka dolls on Ascension. I'd rather have something else - like Gersch Devices instead of the dolls and a Ray Gun/Scavenger/RPK instead of the VR11. The only reason I know you could make explosions with the VR11 is because there's a trophy for it on the PS3.

Wow. I've played for many hours on Kino der Toten but I never noticed the writing in the corner of the paintings. It does say Wendee or Wendle. I have no clue what it's supposed to mean - if it's supposed to mean anything. The map is almost two years old now so there has to be someone on CodZ who noticed it long ago and researched it. Is there a backstory?

I want a weapon that's kinda like the upgraded crossbow / VR11, but different. It shoots something colorful, something that Sam would like to see (like the monkey bomb). I'm not sure what it would be, though. Instead of having to wait for it to hit the ground, zombies near it start chasing it when it flies through the air. When it hits the ground, the zombies realise it's not what they're looking for. Then they stand still and look around for a second to locate their next victim (the player that's the nearest to them). It seems like the projectile disappeared, but it didn't. After a few seconds it explodes. The explosion creates crawlers if the the projectile got stuck in the ground. If it got stuck in a wall or a zombie, it might kill a few zombies or rip off some limbs. By the time the explosion happens a few zombies have already started chasing the players again and if they're far enough away from the explosion, there's no impact on them. So you'll create crawlers but only a few if you're lucky. The upgraded version, ofcourse, attracts more zombies and makes a bigger explosion, but it takes longer for the projectiles to explode. Any downed players that get hit with the projectile or the explosion instantly get revived (Krauss Defibrillator style), but there's a risk of getting downed again pretty quickly because the Zombies chase the projectile when it flies through the air. I think this could turn out to be a realistic wonder weapon. It takes time to figure out the right time to use it, since it can cause trouble for other players or maybe even the user since it makes some crawlers that can get in the way and the zombies start going after players before the explosion happens.

The only handguns you get are the ones in the Mystery box and the M1911, and there's a very logical explanation for it: You can't buy ammo. If you were able to buy ammo, it would be too easy to rack up points when you need to. It's all about balance. The guns you can buy in the starting area aren't great point-builders because it would make the game too easy. The Kar98k, Arisaka and Olympia are afwul. The M1A1, Gewehr and M14 are decent but only useful at rounds 1-10. You're being forced to buy new guns and use your points.

I agree with you. I think Kino Der Toten is the best Zombie map of all, because of it's simplicity. Even though once you get to know the map it becomes really easy and predictable, which isn't fun, but the lay-out was perfect. It was a great map for noobs, to learn how to play the game. You turn on the power, get Juggernog, it was fun. The one map that really dissapointed me was Moon. I expected that map to be so much fun before I downloaded Rezurrection, but Treyarch made things too complicated. You can't even play that map with random people because they always suck, and even with friends it's still hard. Reasons: It's too hard to get Juggernog, you need everyone on the teleporter to teleport, and you need to stop the excavators with the hacker device while you can't breathe. It's just not simple enough. I know there's people who really like Moon so I'm not going to say Treyarch should stop making those kind of maps, because variety is a good thing. I'm also not saying I don't want a challenge. I just don't like the way Moon played. I didn't really like Shangri-La either. There's no "flow" like there is on Kino, Der Riese, and Call of the Dead. I just hope Treyarch doesn't ruin the basics of the game by making everything complicated like they did with Moon.

Doesn't this Remind you of this? I know it's not the same bar but it felt familiar...

Just a quick introduction. I'm Pascal, yes that's my real first name (I believe it's a French name. Not that it matters). I'm Dutch. I've known about Zombies since World at War. One of my friends owned the game and we played Nacht der Untoten occasionally. I was a big noob back then cause I never really played CoD before that. When Black Ops came out he convinced me to get the game so we could play online together. Then, when I got used to the controls, I got addicted to the game. I've played the regular multiplayer and Zombies for many hours since the game was released. I still play Zombies occasionally but stopped playing the regular multiplayer a while ago. I have the Platinum trophy on Black Ops. That friend I mentioned earlier sold me World at War recently, but I don't play it. When I started to get into Zombies I wanted to know who the characters were and what they were talking about. I subscribed to some Zombie players on Youtube like Syndicate and NGTZombies, and I found out that this forum existed as well as the CoD Wiki. That's when I realised there's actually a story. I think that happened about a year ago, but I didn't feel like creating an account here. Nowadays I don't play Black Ops that much but I'm really excited about Black Ops 2 so I thought I'd create an account here to follow the latest Zombie news and theories. I'm a PS3 Player.
