GRILL

@mix: thank you good sir! EXACTLY what I'm looking for. May I add you to the contributor's list? @way: the app is very good for organizing thoughts. My only quarrel was the amount of colors you saw was the maximum amount. Typically these applications are under a genre known as "mind mapping" - and I'm currently trying to find one that does not have a limitation on how many "branches" come from an idea... I'll let you know when I find a more versatile one (or please let me know if you fine one! ). Most of the good stuff has already been addressed on this site (such as Operation Highjump) - but Lake Vostok in general is a location I haven't seen talked about here. Glad people are digging it! @zombiehunter: yes the quote that's like, "I've got enough bullets for all of Atlantis". Since Samuel is quite the conspiracy theorist - it's hard to draw whether this comment was tongue and cheek, or actually canon. I'll include the quote in the "Green Run" section.. Thanks zombiehunter!

@p diddily: thanks for that description! it definitely proves without a doubt there will be buildables. @lenne: I just hope it's different buildables. I don't want to be making that damn lawn mower gun again. @samantha: I too would love to here our O crew's take on the buildables. @flammenwerfer: yes green run gimmicks should be left to the green run indeed. @expertcoah: but then it would break and you'd have to re-build it. They made stuff so much better in the old days (BO1) lol @electric & alpha: Next verse It's beginning to look a lot like Dead Island Next thing we'll be driving a car There's a robot with zombie eyes And an EE that won't die Until about year from now I'm suuuuuuuuure

Thanks buhdddddddy. I'm working on the "zombie map tie ins" now and would love any help, suggestions, or anything.

well of course, if you're on this site - then I'm sure you've either done it or are planning on doing it. I was asking if anyone else had a similar plan as to mine - which was:

as the title suggests... does this mean we have buildables? or is the hand simply there to begin with (ala Verrukt)?

lol I didn't even SEE this. great minds think alike, as they say.

well when we went from Der Riese to Kino - it was teleportation. pretty much all the maps in Black Ops were from teleportation. so i'm thinking, it probably has something to do with teleporting. we know American's have teleporters. we have them in Five, and (in more of a magical sense) we have them in Green Run. Perhaps after completing ToB - our new crew simply jumped under a light post and it brought them to China. Kind of like in BO, it teleported them to where they NEEDED to go. there is no way to know until we play Die Rise. But by the looks of the trailer, there may be a cut scene. hopefully it will provide some explanation.

NEW: Operation Highjump, Thule, Magnetic Anomaly & moar photos. :mrgreen:

You just blew my mind ! After seeing it the first thing that came to my mind was this FreDelicia... YOU JUST BLEW MY MIND. Nice memory!

That is definitely a Scalene triangle if I ever done saw one! geometry FTW!

so... I'm interested to see how ToB plays into the Die Rise storyline. Perhaps following a certain side of ToB in Green Run will be more beneficial towards the EE in Die Rise. Anyone else had this thought?

here's another view of the trichotomy

Do y'all remember in the Green Run trailer? They didn't show Russman. Everyone thought it was a big deal. It wasn't. Just saying. @PINNAZ - that is UNREAL. perhaps he just switched ties to match his fitting blood stains around his mouth. nice catch, man - even if it is just a coincidence.

i've been working myself to the bone today. haven't even looked at the interwebs. and in the spare moment I do, I glance at CODZ and I see all this. joyous joyous tuesday :mrgreen:

The reason being because almost every YouTuber and fan/player refers to him as 'TEDD'. Whether this is his true name or not, he has adopted this title and I'm sure Treyarch will continue drawing from the community and mark him with the name officially. We've already established it's not his true name. Hence that makes the leak clear in it's fake fan made nature. Not trying to be a jerk at all, look here in the misinformation topic - viewtopic.php?f=93&t=26596&p=259730#p257747.

while none of this is simple, I will say that the leak was clearly fake. how can you tell? it references "TEDD", not "the bus driver". 'nuff said.

Good point, Fated. I need to talk to MMX regarding that. Should I move this thread into the Asylum section? or do you think it's good here? ...anyone?

Ah, right. :? Well, I certainly hope there's a reveal tomorrow. We haven't played Zombies in a while. We should fix that. I certainly hope indeed!!! Let's play this weekend broseff. I've been doing a lot of multiplayer lately, and with the holidays and work things have been craaaazaaay. Let's try to do a dual commentary as well, I'm almost at 1000 subs woot!

Why tomorrow? typically it's been trailer tuesdays.

All "leaks" aside, this happened and I'd like to talk about it. This is why: MC Escher is not like other artists - rather then being based on simple aesthetics, his style is much more mathematical, and seemingly organic in that nature. He is known well in the artistic & mainstream communities, but not well enough to warrant name dropping him for a Call of Duty zombie map IMO. Why couldn't they have just said - "turning downtown into a dilapidated and dangerous *labyrinth, *experience, *adventure, etc." You get the point. There are tons of other ways of saying, so why be so specific? Putting logic first, the most likely explanation is that the map is twisty and tricky. I doubt it would have multiple dimensions like an MC painting, but I'm thinking something along the lines of in CotD when you'd jump across the grate to the MP40, and then had to jump underneath the grate to get back to spawn. Without further ado, let me break from logic and go with a quick art lesson on one of Escher's most famous works: 3 Spheres, 3 Rockets & 3 Realms of Consciousness The first sphere - representing subconsciousness: When first glancing at this sphere, we can see what looks to be a clock mirrored through it. Upon closer inspection, it bares resemblance to The Black Sun It is important to consider the shadow as well of the first orb. It clearly portrays a "yin yang" symbol - which could relate to the duality of Richtofen & Maxis. The yin yang symbol can actually be viewed in the second sphere - as it appears Escher was using a magnifying glass to achieve the effect. The second sphere - representing consciousness: The man in the second sphere represents your consciousness. If you look closely, one of his eyes is wide open and one is squinted. The eye that is squinted is on the left - pertaining to the first sphere i.e. subconsciousness, memories, innermind. The eye that is wide open is on the right - pertaining to the third sphere... the future. The shadow of the second sphere is also warped, trying to almost touch the third sphere. Essentially what this means is that, the conscious is not fully aware of the subconscious. However, the conscious is aware of the future. Hence you're focused on a future that does not have to be if you simply opened your eyes fully to the past. This reminds me of something... The third sphere - representing future: This sphere is completely opaque. There is no reflection, no certainty. It's shadow curves towards the second sphere, only in the sense of basic knowing that the future exists. This whole topic of consciousness really brought me back to a time not long before Black Ops 2 came out... along with this as well, couldn't remember which specific dev posted it though... Breaking this all down, I'm thinking that Die Rise could take place within a "re-written" timeline - much like Green Run occurred in a "re-written" timeline. Regarding consciousness, and realizing your past to achieve your future - I'm hoping this pertains to our O4. Perhaps this is simply realizing that they are all long dead, and it's time to move on (but lord let's not hope so). I have more information to present, but need more time to sort it out in my mind. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Recommended Reading:

woah woah woah... HMV refers to "grind" as "skate" which IMO means they probably took the Amazon UK blunder and put their own spin on it. MC ESCHER FTW!!!

so does this mean I can publish my MC Escher thread? :mrgreen:

here you go, Lenne: http://www.cinemablend.com/games/Call-Duty-Black-Ops-2-Revolution-DLC-Details-Leaked-By-Amazon-51128.html Do blunders count as leaks? A 3arc employee divulging zombie info months before the initial game release is definitely a leak. But Amazon posting it by mistake, CoD mobile posting it by mistake, and Gamestop posting it by mistake - kind of gray areas. I think points for both sides can be made - leak or not. Either way, I'm for sure ready for China. I visited there in college, now I get to go back... vs. zombies :twisted:

The Information: Lake Vostok is the largest of Antartica's lakes. It was know by man to exist as far back as 1959, but was not physically discovered until 1993 - with drilling only starting in 2012... the Lake holds many mysteries, and possible connections to the zombie storyline. Antarctica is a place that has been neglected by the actual zombies storyline, but yet seemingly played a pivotal part in the actual Nazi's plans. I will explain how it possibly connects to the Vrill-ya, hollow earth, Thule, and inherently - the zombies storyline.* *i am editing the full explanation and will post it soon NEW 5/10/13 X1AeiIxyi9c Lake Vostok: The Lost World of Lake Vostok Documentary (BBC) Narrated by...

Inspiration thanks to PINNAZ for his fantastic conspiracy thread (http://callofdutyzombies.com/forum/view ... 35&t=25277).

Mystery solved. He wasn't offended, he was speaking generally. It sounds similar enough to make sense to me, and you haven't given any alternatives. Might as well be Taylor Swifting, trolls are so two thousand and late! :lol:
