do u have a steam or anything we cna chat on? I would like to spea kto you about a theory regarding this gateway to hell.

I disagree that the "rift" is the shananigans that Richtofen and Group 935 caused. The biggest evidence is that we know richtofen said Mend the Rift. If the rift is what made all the zombies, then why would the very person whose goal was to CONTROL the zombies WANT to mend the rift? Second, due to these "Fucked up" shenanigans, we have the current timeline we have. The goal is to always have someone in Aether to control it. Fixing the "rift" would be completely against this. In the end, I believe the rift is not so much trying to mend time, but something else. Perhaps there is a rift in SPACE that leads to Aether? Thus, Richtofen wants to shut it off while Maxis wants to expand it (or polarize the earth).

Thanks to Infest and Bobane and ETE for showing me that the plane is NOT the FULL easter egg. However, You are required to do the cycle once (Build plane, get to GG bridge, etc). I brushed up the guide. I will add the skulls when i find the info. Again thank you for reading and dont be shy with making any grammar corrections or step solutions/corrections. We are here as a community to learn! :D

Mob of the Dead Easter Egg Guide Hello ladies and gents! I am proud to once again bring you the easter egg steps for the new zombies epic, Mob of the Dead. As per usual, I always give credit where it is due but please: We are a community. No one is "first" no one is last. Let us all just play to be a better zombie player, not trying to be the star and discover everything. Before i begin, I must make some serious apologies. I thought the plane was a part of it the whole time but it would seem it is merely a compontent to the bigger picture. Thanks to some helpful site members and sources (NGTZombies, playthegamecentral) I was able to locate what exactly needed to be done. Note: These steps will be written in the sense that you have already learned how to play and i assume you know the map. Step one (joke): Find a good team -You will need it! Step 1 (real): Get to the bridge Accodring to my source (NGTZombies) you must first complete a cycle to progress with the easter egg, thus, we need to build a plane. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PLANE ASSEMBLE Step one: Get the warden's key -Open the big gray door that leads to the jail cells. There is one of 2 possible locations -the hook in this room -the hook in the next room. The door leading to the next room is at the end of the catwalk on the second floor. The other hook is at the end of the hallway. -After finding it, go into afterlife mode and go into an opening near the key. Shock the system behind it and the key will lower itself to the ground. Step two: Get the plane parts (Tmartin) -There are 5 plane parts. Here is a mini-step guide as this is multi-part. -Plane part 1: Elevator room -In the room with a massive elevator (duh) there is a set of 3 numbers at 000 behind a small cage. You will need to open it with teh wardens key. After that, go into afterlife mode and walk back up the stairs and behind each section of wall in the corridor has a number (in the video it was 915. THis may be random!) Simply shock the electric boxes until it is the ocrrect number. Go to the bottom and claim the first piece. -Plane part 2: Docks -Near the docks, near the building table, there is a fenced area. Use the wardens key to open the first door. Once inside the first room, simply shock yourself into afterlife mode and shock the power switch. Retrieve the plane part (will be update with more details as i go about doing this. -Plane part 3: Warden's offce (Bullseye) -This one is guarded by an electric fence. To get into the electric blocked area of the Warden's office, you have to go down to the room with generators in the lower levels. There's a door that leads into there from the docks. Enter afterlife mode and shock the generators in there. -Plane part 4: Jail, 3rd floor -This one is in the upstairs portion of the informary next to the hellhound. It is inside a box and all it requires is a wardens key. -Plane part 5: Laundry (IcornWholeU) The last plane part is in the shower room you have to be in afterlife mode and have the key. the shockbox is across from the dryer. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Step 2: Build the plane -You can build the plane on the workbench near the docks. Once complete, make your way to the ramp where it will be waiting for you on the roof. Step 3: Golden gate and back. -Once on the golden gate, do your business with PAP or survive. When complete, go to the electric chairs to begin the cycle anew, but with a new twist. This must be done 2 more times. They can be done anytime but you must make a total of 3 trips back and forth. Step 4: Skulls -Hidden in various spots on the island in Affterlife mode, are skulls. They must be shocked in Afterlife then retrieved with Hell's Retriever. Will update on skull locations soon. There are currently 5 known skulls. 1. One is on the lampost by jugg. Jump and release the Tomahawk to catch it. 2. Another is by the dock, third pole from the end. 3. There is one on the telephone pole in the wardens room visible through the window. 4. This one is in a jail cell near spawn. 5. The last one is on the roof. Go to an opening on the left side of the ramp where you can see another part of the room. Throw the tomahawk there. Step 5: The Spoons (NGTzombies) -Now for the spoons. 1. Go to the jail cell near the warden's office with a poster in it. Use the tomahawk on it. 2. Go into after life mode and go through a now visible opening. A spoon is on the floor. Shock it until you hear the laugh. 3. Fo to the CAfeteria and go to the window at the far end. on the table to the left is a spoon. Throw a tomahawk at it and you will hear Brutus say a number. Step 6: Prison numbers (NGTZombies) -Once you have the numbers (and having gone back and forth 3 times) the numbers at the bottom of the citadel tunnels staircase. Simply go into afterlife mode and zap the numbers that you heard. Step 7: Headphones and History (NGTZombies) -several Headphone power-ups will lead you to the roof. Collect each one. Once on the roof, Go into afterlife and board the plane as a spirit. Finale: "Pop goes the Weasel" (Playthegamecentral) *SPOILER ALERT* -Once you make your way back to the GG bridge, you will have to take a body. From that body you will see Al Arlingtion with a "Kill" sign on him. Simply kill him before you are killed to finally break the cycle! Congrats! Easter Egg is done Thank you for reading this COMPLETE easter egg guide. It was not possible without a community effort. I would like to thank the following sources for this current info: -Tmartn -ETE -Bobane -Infest -cornwhole -NGTzombies -playthegamecentral -AfroChubman (video) -Bullseye Please note that i will only be listing sources that i use. If NGTZombies finds it first but i already saw it in another video, I am sorry but i will list my source first. If something is wrong please correct me ASAP.

IMDB has been a phenomenal source for info these past few days. They gave us Brutus, someone NONE of us had any idea even existed. Now, something new has appeared. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2822126/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 Shaun Paul Piccinino ... Zombie Leader Whut. I aplogize if this specific character was already discussed but i failed to see a topic on it. Now when i hear this, i think almost immediately: BOSS Perhaps the warden? I really have no clue on this one. I will add more on this in the coming hours (if i say days, no one cares...game comes out Tuesday ) Thoughts

As LiamFTW already made a video about the avhievements, I decided to make a written list / opinions about what we have to do (and debunk a few myths ) Massive credit to LiamFTWinter on making a vid and his original source LoganWalker2012 No one Escapes Alive -In Mob of the Dead, Execute the escape plan -Seems simple enough. Get the pieces to the airplane and escape. However, there must be a twist. The exact same words were shown when we saw the behind the scenes trailer. There was a huge sign written in blood followed by a mannequin and 4 electric chairs. -Opinion: I think that this is the Easter egg. However, we are escaping in a different sense. We escape not in a physical way but rather our minds escape...to death. A nice psychological ending to scare you. Feed the Beast -In Mob of the Dead, obtain Hells retriever. -Has to do with the weird wolf thing. Hellhound. We have to feed it. Simple. But what is Hell's Retriever? It is the Tomahawk. -Opinion: It will definately be harder than we think. It can eat zombies and will poop out a Flaming Tomahawk power-up somewhere on the map. Simply grab it and use it. Making the Rounds -In Mob of The Dead, complete the cycle 3 times. -Has something to do with perhaps walking. Go throught the whole map maybe? activate al lsongs in all locations? -Opinion: It is actually about Afterlife. We need to get into and out of it succesfully 3 times. Perhaps dying in Afterlife mode kills you like when you die? Acid Trip -In Mob of The Dead, Convert a weapon using a kit. -Has to do with a weapon and upgrading. Most likely the Blundergat upgraded (Acid weapon) -Opinion: We must find this kit inside the the acid area. Clearly we need a bench. Full Lockdown -In mob of the dead, Brutus completes his patrol -Has to do with Nolan North's character. He clearly is voiced by Nolan so we know this NPC can talk. He completes a patrol or a full circle of a prison to make sure everything is okay and LOCKED DOWN. -Opinion: He has to turn off perk machines and stuff. This is more like failing to do something that gives us an achievement. Burst of Flavor -In Mob of The Dead, Kill 10 zombies using the new beverage -Has to do with the new perk, Electric Cherry. Kill 10 zombies. -Opinion: Again, sounds easy, probably really hard. More of chance than skill to acquire. Paranormal Progress -In Mob of the Dead, Open a door without spending points. -Has something to do with Afterlife and the electric boxes. Puzzles -Opinion: We will have to use afterlife mode to access items behind walls or in secret locations. GG Bridge -In Mob of the Dead, Survive an entire round on the bridge at round 15 or higher -The bridge is a location. We can fight on it. -Opinion: This is the "Go down Fighting" end. We literally just survive off what we have left. It is called Golden Gate br dge, but the real idea is behind that, GG means: GOOD GAME. Meaning when we go there, there is no return trip. Trapped in Time -In mob of the Dead, upgrade all traps before round 10. -Has to do with traps and for the first time: UPGRADING THEM! -Perhaps we have to go into Afterlife to access these upgrades. The "Time" element points to this as afterlife seems to be a bridge between this and the past or next life. Pop goes the Weasel -In Mob of the Dead, break the cycle. -Has to do with this "cycle" again. Rather, failing to do it. -Opinion: You die in afterlife mode, thus unable to repeat the cycle.

I hope treyarch really reads these posts.

Know your weakness and you will win a thousand battles -Sun Tzu (or whatever. The guy who wrote art of war)

Ever since Zombies came out back in World At War, Treyarch has tried so much to give the fans what they want. From a small 3 room map to outer space to a massive prison, they have not disappoint. But With Alcatraz, they REALLY gave us what we wanted. They are giving us practically everything we wanted: -A way to defend ourselves while reloading. -Ak-47, Uzi, LSAT, Tommy Gun, fan weapons -Traps -New challenges -New Boss -AN ALTERNATE ENDING! (maybe...) -New way to explore (Afterlife) -Fresh storyline -New power-ups -And LAst, but certainly not least, A TRAILER (proper i might add (no commentary, just gameplay, and some kick ass music) edit: forgot to mention they made a poster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love it And so much more. I just want to thank Treyarch for putting so much effort into this map. The fact we learned about this late is fine. It was worth it :D

While i thought the music was great for the trailer, i cant help but feel that another song would go just as well with it. Try Papa Roach - Where did the angels go + trailer around when music starts Mix it together at the right time and it sounds amazing.

Hello Ladies and Genlemen! If you have not heard yet, a trailer was released today on Call Of Duty Youtube to officially show off Mob Of the Dead! I am not good with youtube link and uploading a video but i am here to point out some cool thing. Another wonderful user has pu up the video if you want to see it on CoDZ So onto the analysis!...But before that. I want to Thank Treyarch for their hardwork on this. They are giving us so many things we wanted. We are getting: -Fan fave guns (AK-47, Uzi, LSAT) -Scary environment -A new challenge -An alernate ending -An awesome trailer This is why Zombies will always have a place in my heart. Thank you. Okay onto the analysis! As i said, i am not good at uploading photos so if someone knows how please add them in a quote or something. So trailer starts out talking about the different characters. Nothing really new. But then the fun starts about "Evil Island". First thing i notice: These zombies are GROTESQUE. I mean seriously. Barbed wire, shards, cuts (normal), missing limbs (not seen, i htink, since Verrukt). Now my question is: How did this happen? I think it was due to either escape OR when the infection spread, people killed the remaining guards with shards of glass, steel, etc. next up is the boss. In one shot, he has not hat. Interesting. In another (or the behind the scenes trailer) he has one. Are there multiple ones? And how did this happen? Simple. These were the "riot" guards. The armor is pretty obvious of this. Since the armor is bullet proof, it would make sense that to kill these thugs, prisoners used barbed wire to constrict the and choke them attributing to its ghastly appearance. Traps. One is the blade cutter. Really cool. But the best part is the ability to crawl under it! This will definately help in later rounds. And then we get the Acid Trap! Looks really painful to be honest (insert crappy chuck norris can do this joke). Another show of guns, some cool music and......THE ENDING?!?!!??!?!?!!? That is right ladies and gentlemen! we get a glimpse of the ending! Our heroes ride off on top of the Airplane. I had a previous theory that only 1 person could fly on it and after it was a built it would be a Free for all. Nope. All players alive seem to make it out. Once again i apologize for no pictures but this is what i have noticed so far. Please do comment and get PUMPED for this brand new map!

Just tried Skillet- Hero while playin some die rise. I had a good time.

I dont know about you guys but ive been paying REALLY close attention to this wonderweapon. Now, According to Treyarch: "Since Alcatraz was a civil war fort before it was a prizon, we had this story that the warden would have collected civil war era weapons. The Blundergat" These arent word-for-word but it is close. Now. I really dont think that a weapon like this is buildable. It is too sleek in design. I think that it was a weapon the warden had collected. He then kept it as antique. However, we can use it as a weapon too. ....or. We could believe that "Billy Handsome" had created it as a way to kill people in different ways. It was his job anyway. Then the warden took interest and kept it. i dunno...

Whut? So i was looking around on call of duty.com and i saw the uprising dlc. I get this: http://m.callofduty.com/blackops2/dlc/dlc2-uprising So i check it out and i scroll to the bottom. Thats where i see this weird language. At first i dismissed it as a simple error, but after some searching, other people noticed too. CoD hasnt changed it either..... So now my thoughts: Obviously, i think we either need to translate or decode. Perhaps i am overthinking it but hey, while we wait, we might as well have some fun. Check it out for yourself and you decide!

I dont know abou you guys, but i can only pay attention to zombies for so long. After a while (round 30+) doing circles gets boring. So i wanted to start a thread on Zombies music. So basically: What songs, if you do, listen to while playing zombies? All suggestions are welcome but i really want some nice epic rock combo or somethin. I like rock too as long as it isnt heavy metal. THIS IS MY OPINION. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE IT OFFENSIVELY OR THAT YOU SHOULD NOT POST YOUR SONG SUGGESTIONS. I want to hear as many suggestions as possible. If there was already a thred/topic about this, please give me a link and i apologize for this repost.

Just a small note, but Alcatraz is only a mile and a half offshore. It's actually possible to swim back to land. If these mobsters were smart, they would've built a boat. Oh. My bad. Well....surely there is an explanation...... Perhaps they dont have parts for a boat As for the part about alcatraz being 1.5 miles away, lets just assumes it is REALLY far away....

Hmmm. Nolan North - Brutus Well let's see. Brutus is from the play Julius Caesar. He ends up betraying Caesar because people told him to. If we assume Nolan North is the "face" of Richtofen, then this may make sense. Richtofen betrayed the original for and maxis, killing maxis and for all we know, the O4. Richtofen killed Maxis because of the voices (and jealousy but really lets stick to this). He then went on to form is plan, blah blah blah. an interesting connection. Voices = the other politicians Killing a "Friend" = Caesar As you may know, a few theories have been thrown around that only 1 person may escape Alcatraz. Perhaps the one who survives becomes a vessel for Richtofen AKA making someone the "Brutus" to the group. Backstabs everyone etc. At least that is what i think.

So as you all know there SEEMS to be a possible ending buy building a plane. I would like attention to some "technicalities" (if i spelled that right) about the whole plan. 1. The airplane The plae itself is rather simple. It looks kind of like what the Wright brothers first tried to create. Now the problem: Land was PRETTY far away from Alcatraz. How will it make it that far? Second, The highest point from where a plane can be launched would be the roof. If you think of the physics behind it, it seems that it wont work. Perhaps the magic of Hollywood? 2. The Inmates We have 4 gangsters. They trust each other enough to get out. But in truth, they may care less what happens to one another. Sure, there is power in numbers, but when the chips are down, the one rule every mobster and zombie slayer knows: TRUST NO ONE. Now. The plane is rather...simple. When i see it, i only see room for ONE PERSON. DUH DUH DUHHHHHH! Again, maybe Hollywood magic but still... My theory: We will assemble the plane. By collecting the neccesary parts, we can escape the island. When it comes time to do this, we go to the roof and assemble. Then, one player gets to ride. He gets on and leaves....except the plane falls apart midway. To be honest, it would leave a massive plot whole and some loose ends.

I dunno but when it comes out i will make sure to dissect it =)

.......omg........ My 2 favorite weapons: a blunderbuss and gatling gun....... Ill be honest.Most wonder weapons bore me after a while. When I get used to maps or certain weapons, its not fun anymore. But this weapon.....NO. MASTERPIECE, May well be my favorite WW. Wow....Im still in shock.. I love the 31-79 jgb215 (i didnt look that up so u know i loved it ) but when i compare it to this.. I hope it is a good weapon. Like, good to round 15 at least. Shotguns for the most part in zombies is...less than satisfactory. I rREALLY want this to be an awesome weapon. Still in shock....I just...I dont even know how to explain my joy at seeing this masterful work of zombie slaying weaponry. All i can say is: WONDER WEAPON WHORE HAS ARRIVED. all i can say is dont go down with this weapon because I wont be there :twisted:

I love mob movies. I took as many courses as i could about gangs and famous mobs in history. I watched scarface, gangster squad, Godfather, etc. The tommy gun in all movies is just awesome. Seeing it in this Mob-inspired map was sealing the deal. New zombies look awesome. Purgatory style sounds sweet. New characters are really cool. A bunch of mob guys getting ready to beat the shit outta some zombies. I cant wait to hear some of the quotes: -SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND! (Scarface) (When using LMG, Tommy, or wonder weapon -Hasta La Vista, Baby! (Terminator) (When using a shotgun or Wonder weapon) -Ill be Back. (when someone goes down) -Honor the Code. (someone dies) -Kelly aint got nuthin on this! (getting the tommy or lmg) -Your going on my Hit list! (when someone goes down)

Is april 7th the actual day of the fight? Or is it the day of the Zombies only trailer for MoTD? Or both In any case, nice catch! It looks green and slimy like acid. Perhaps we wil be melting zmbies again . I have a, collection, you could say. I like to try out every wonder weapon. This definately looks sweet and i cant wait. Also i am sure that is the raygun.

Well me and a friend debated this today: We said that the reason why they are red is connected to the easter egg. Perhaps we will need to free the original 4 or the new 4. If it is the new 4, the teleporting caused by richtofen from the Aether probably gives of a radiation that affected the inmates. When Richtofen accidentally sends them to the wrong time/era/location, he cannot reach back in time to pull them out. We will discover the new 4 inside a solitary confinement. From there, we must listen to them. If it is the original 4, then perhaps samantha (in Richtofens body) and MAxis have found a way to use the teleporter to get off moon. Once again, the teleportation causes massive 115 overload and infects teh prison. But now they are trapped in solitary confinement. From there, we must listen to them. Now another spin. What if BOTH of them are stuck? But you can only pick one.... The idea of a jail holding the new 4 or original 4 is a nice idea. I dont see any places for a spire and they siad they wanted to mix up the story a bit. CoTD did this pretty well and i think MoTD (might as well start shortening it) will do just as good.

While i do agree on a certain level, I also believe that it is a bit, pardon my french, of a crappy rule. While it is enforced sometimes, there will always be leaks, like trolls. TBH I haven't seen many leaks about the new map. I see a few trolls and some photoshops. And not too many recently. Also, I love the time before a map pack is announced. We get a little glimpse, and it is fun reacting to it and the arguments that go on about its validity. The best thing i have seen to controlling this is the future map topic. Great place to talk maps or leaks. The best way is to just map a leak page. Put a big warning: LEAKS AHEAD LAST CHANCE TO TURN BACK! Plus, lets be honest. Most of us like a little leak here and there. I dont want gameplay (like TranZit) but lets see a pick for once. it aint bad. And people can just look away. Not hard. I really dont think this needs to go into a big debate. Lets leave it at: Offer little, Save a lot (of the excitement).

Well it seems our link to Treyarch is making some...subtle gestures. https://twitter.com/ZielinskiJimmy Theres the link. Notice the background. It is certainly different than i remember. I dont know about those pictures so someone PLEASE analyze and tell us all. Maybe im overthinking this... Next up is a video of a pipeline burst in Arkansas. Now i am CRAP at Geography, But isnt Alcatraz? I dont know but that video isnt up there for funny biz (seriously, why would u put a pipeline leak?). Hmmm. It could signify the community at large. It was a leak......So was the photos for uprising. Leak IFL = Leak in Info. The pipe probably burst due to build up. Hype and no official annoncement on map pack = eventual overflow of info and a burst = our excitement. Maybe im completely off. But seems very coincidential. (if that is a word) Thoughts?
