Electric Jesus

Alright, let's look at this algebraically. if you are too lazy to read this (I don't blame you) just skip down to the TLDR. Let's say X represents the game itself, and the game has a value of 60. The hardened edition's bonuses, Y, has a value of 20, and represents nuketown zombies and the other stuff (exclusive player cards and camo, etc.) the season pass is Z, and has a value of 50, and represents NTZ and the discounted DLC valued at 10. nuketown zombies = N, the other bonuses in the hardened edition are B. So if you compare the prices you come up with ... X+Y and X+Z. As we know X is valued in at 60 and Y is valued at 20, so the hardened totals to 80. We know X equals 60 and Z equals 50 so the normal edition plus the season pass is 110. Since the basic game (X) is on both sides you can eliminate it in order to simplify it. So what we are left with is the value if the season pass compared to the value of the hardened edition. What this leaves us with is Y and Z, which are worth 20 and 50. Judging by the benefits of the hardened edition, a good estimate for the value of nuketown zombies is probably about 10. So N = 10 and therefore B equals 10 as well. Since we know that the season pass comes with N too we can eliminate them both to be left with the term B with a value of ten, and Z with a remaining value of 40. Then, considering the fact that the effect if Z is that It saves ten, so you are left with the comparison of B (10) and (Z - N) - 10, which is valued at 30 now. So this leaves us with the conclusion that the value of the bonuses for the hardened edition (apart from nuketown zombie's) is ten dollars. The bonus of the season pass minus nuketown zimbies is worth thirty dollars. Now what are these bonuses? For the hardened edition, it is new camos, emblems, and other exclusive content. For the season pass this is fourl future DLCs. So getting the four DLCs amounts to 30 dollars and the exclusive content amounts to ten dollars. Hardened edition exclusive content = $10 value. Season pass DLC bonus = $30 value. Now, it's obvious that the DLCs have a higher value, but it is up to you to decide how much better four DLCs are than exclusive content. This is entirely based in your opinion, so this factor affects the ultimate conclusion: did you get ripped off?? Do you think that Four DLCs are worth three times as much as exclusive content? Let's simplify it. Do you think a DLC map pack is worth more than The exclusive stuff you got? If you had to choose one over the other, so that whichever you choose is gone forever, which would you pick? If you pick the exclusive content you totally got ripped off. But if you pick the DLC, you did NOT get ripped off! TLDR: Which is better, a single never before seen DLC map pack or the exclusive content given in the hardened edition, minus NTZ? If you pick the DLC you didn't get ripped off, and if you pick the exclusive camo and emblems then you did get ripped off.

I guess I should say spoiler alert because the varying outcomes might affect this, but I doubt it. either way this happens at the end so SPOILER ALERT. It doesn't spoil anything about the plot but it's still common courtesy. Tee hee hee! This has honestly got to be the greatest thing ive ever seen. Upon completing the campaign a brief scene is shown where an aged frank woods is talking with menendez. What is strange is their clothes; frank has an A7X shirt and menendez has a flaming cordis die shirt. Then, the members of avenged sevenfold come in and hustle them onto a stage. Frank simply walks out of his wheelchair, to which menendez says "WHAT THE F$&@???" and woods replies with "oh that? I'm just lazy as S$&@." then they go on stage and perform Carry On, with all of the characters (good and bad) rocking out on stage or in the audience. Frank is playing the drum set and menendez is on guitar. They both have pretty epic solos too. And if you look carefully at the audience you just might see a zombie or two... Look at the balconies! Anyway, just thought I'd put this out here because I enjoyed it immensely. Anyone else find this, uh... interesting?

Also, when critiquing a new map or game I notice people have the wrong mindset. Sure, "the idea" of that being in the game sounds bad, but actually it makes the game more fun. "the idea" of a perk that lets you keep all of your list works sounds OP, but you use it and like it very much because of its usefulness. You may not like "the idea" of a monster that latches onto you getting you thoroughly effed up, but it's existence leads to endless kicks and giggles. Anyway, my point is that you shouldn't play the game from the perspective of a critic. Whether it not a game is good is based on the experiences you have playing it, NOT what aspects "don't seem like a good idea." I mean, there might actually be legitimately bad aspects of the map that the community unanimously dislikes, but all of the issues that have been brought up have been two-sided, so for now I think the map is great, and I doubt anyone will change my mind. Btw I'm not blaming anyone of this at all, but I do seem to notice it outside of CoDz a lot, and it is relevant to my point.

I didn't know what to expect with the denzien, but the moment I stepped into the fog I heard it laugh and was like "screw that" so I just turned right around. Later when I actually braved the fog I nearly crapped my pants. I keep running trains by the diner until the Mid teen rounds, but then i keep getting downed in the power room due to an unfortunate combination of circumstances (no ammo no points etc.) even so, I like the map and plan to conquer it soon.

Hijacked and nuketown 2025 cargo is cool too though.

Thanks for the heads up bro!

Call him Samantha and say he was accidentally soul-swapped at birth.

Nice job dude! I understand how grieving your teammates works (knifing them and throwing meat) but what's up with the butterflies?

My opinion is that I didn't really like moon (for example) because of all of the unnecessary crap. What it all boils down to is your arsenal of weapons, a few perks, and your basic train. I didn't like moon because if all of the unnecessary gimmicks and stuff. Farm and town are basically everything I need to have an amazing time in zombies; a train, some perks, guns, and PaP on town. Maybe not the bus stop because of no perks, but that one is supposed to be challenging! I missed out on hardened so I'm getting the season pass and don't have nuketown yet, but it looks awesome too. I honestly am not disappointed at all that I have 2.5 (soon to be 3.5) zombie maps, AND tranzit, AND grief. I am excite.

By the way, congratulations! Here Is some more legitimate child's name advice. Personally aether is cool, but not very masculine. It is also very unique and unusual so he might be teased a bit for it. Plus the idea behind the name is too mind-blowing for some people. I suggest you pick a name you like and that is generally unique or special to you and your SO, but not a name that is un heard of. It has to be personal (after all it's your child were talking about) but not so unusual that society in general think of it as a peculiarity / oddity rather than just something special. I mean, Ray Gun is a cool ass first / middle name combo, but he would be teased all over for that. *sigh* Some people are so closed-minded... Once again congratulations! I hope you find time for us poor saps between the whole being a parent thing. :mrgreen:

How about a unique name? Edkolakeompsey. Yes, I like it. Or maybe 'Lectric J-Dawg? That would look interesting in a birth certificate. A more important question: which of us gets to be the god father / mother, and will the middle name be a spin off of that person's username? For example: Edkolakeompsey Electric Jesus *whatever your last name is here*. What a nice ring it has to it... Seriously, I've always loved the name Dominic for some reason...

Im going to make this as quick as possible. Beware of the spoilers people.

Uh-huh... If I ever post pictures of myself here I will be covering my face with a guy Fawkes mask. I don't know why but I get really weirded out at the thought of the Internet illuminati being able to see me...

Every time I read perfect's posts, I think to myself "PASS THE DAMN UPDATE!! WE NEED BRAINS ASAP!!" seriously, great thread, cheer to the next two years, and many many more. "And unto CoDz did Electric Jesus bestow his blessing, ensuring that the divine theorists and slayers could live in yet another year of prosperity, and many many more... Except for Satan, or as he is known on the forums, Lenne..." -The Book of Electric; passage 1:15.

Like no mans land maybe, but more gradual? Hehe, your name is slappamedoo... Hehe.... I get it....

1. Dubstep in zombies? NYYAOOOAOOO!!! 2. I checked his page and he hasn't said anything about dubstep in zombies in the past few weeks... When did he say it, if at all? I looked back all the way through October and part of September and he doesn't mention it once... Hey, I can at least be hopeful! 3. If I wanted to listen to god-awful sounds that make all humans with an IQ exceeding the IQ of a mop want to kill themselves, I would get dial-up connection and scrape on a chalkboard for an hour. good lord treyarch.

It is the only map I can play a dozen times in a row without getting bored. it's just vunderbar!

I am leaving when I get the game in less than 24 hours, but for now why not hang about?

You're not alone. :cry: Yeah, you really aren't. :cry:

It can't be C. Because it specifically says to buy the perk, not just receive it. It makes sense that the electro boss or battery thing could work. I personally don't like the idea of building perks, buuuut that's just me.

This thread serves one purpose and one purpose only. Once you've played to your hearts content, come and share whatever specific experiences you've had in the game. Whether it is a specific visual effect you liked a lot but was too specific to make a thread about, a bit of fun you had goofing around and defending the bus, or a wild goose chase you went on looking for the Easter egg, post your memorable zombies experiences here! Bu the way,I am retiring from the forums in effect immediately, lasting 72+ hours unless otherwise noted. Kthxbai.

When there is a decent mash-up of slender man and zombies, then I will give myself permission to die.

Yeah but damn was that other 5% nice.

O thread banished into the darkness, By the power of the necronomicon, I RESSURECT THEE!! I miss Tankeo... And I don't want dubstep in zombie's....
