I'm becoming less confident on what we can take for canon as there seems to be many reused textures for important story elements. The 2 images are identical. But we also have this building, yet it does not feature the spire as pictured on the other 2 images? I've used google earth & looked at other pictures of the city & cannot find a building the same within the vacinity. I originally found the Jin Mao Tower because I had already seen images of it. When I saw it in game I realised that it was a real building. I think it's just a reused texture the same as the 'Round' buildings that are reused. I'll try to find what the round building is based off. So what evidence can we use in our story?

I think we need more evidence as of what year GR & GLF are set. I don't believe it's 2020's, maybe present time? Who knows? I'm lost on BO2 so far. There's 2 many reused textures appearing. What do we take for canon?

Here you go.

That would be Rissole's song analysis - http://www.callofdutyzombies.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=147&t=28137

Great guide & great thread once again Sluggo. I need to familiarise myself with Die Rise a little more & play some decent solo games. If you've impressed Perfect & Chopper, that speaks volumes for guide! Keep it mate.

Purple Beam. Where have we seen that before? = Mystery Box Who gives us the Mystery Box? Where does it come from? So who does that purple beam belong to? We see the purple beam transport the N4 across the globe? Colours play a big role in Zombies. Samantha - Orange Maxis - Red Richtofen - Blue ? - Purple Something to think about.... Well linked Trevbo!

Great work Jeager. It must be a massive task that your undertaking. Many people will appreciate this. Thank you.

It's been moved to the Great Leap Forward discussion under the map discussion section. http://www.callofdutyzombies.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=147&t=28438

Hope this helps.

Thank you Dragon! While your at it, would you mind interpreting these words & pictures for the Class? I asked a guy I work with (quickly) & he told me a few, but I can remember them all. It would be good if you can take your time to interpret them or tell CoDz what they mean if you know? Good Fortune / Business Prosper? Something to do with Chinese New Year? Ice? Luxury International ? Centre A sign at a wedding? Good Luck? Chinese New Year? Something with Chinese New Year? ? ? ? Different Shops on the floors? Café Luxury something? Organic/Natural Makeup? Natural again? ? This Panda picture intrigues me? Sorry I don't have a closer screenshot. Thanks if you can read them. Thanks in advance :)

Can you explain how you figured that Jilin is Provice 22? Also, what direction/where is the Taipei 101 building? Do you have a screenshot? Cheers

Congrats Guys. Good to see CoDz staff completing this. Added video so you can see it on mobile devices

3 upside down towers the same as the one on the roof near the Dragon. I think these are located where the upside down Budas are.

Well, we have a definate after date after 1996

Let the voting begin!

@ Mr Lithium, Check my 2nd last post. There is a link to a thread which has more info. We don't play in that building but it's viewable from the spawn on the left. I haven't done a thorough theatre mode to see if there is any other info. There's heaps of pictures in the map. Also seeing what all the billboards on the buildings translate to may shed some more light on the location.

I'm getting a little bit lost here. Can you explain what you think it is MMX? There are more than 22 numbers through those charts MMX, that page you linked was one of the first pages I came across & saw it had numbers 45 & 54 & whatnot so I discredited that as meaning province 22. Look at my previous post. There is still evidence that it is Shanghai.

Colorado - New Mexico Border Dulce Base

I don't believe there is a Province 22. Chinese provinces' go by name, not number. I've asked 3 Chinese guys I work with & they all said that China has 22 provinces that go by name. So far this is what I think it means, that the location of the map is within the 22 provinces. I've come across 3 maps which are numbered, they are only numbered by people who create the document. (See below) Though I could still be wrong on this. There is definately more to find. There is also this Banner in the game showing the Pudong Skyline in which the Jin Mao tower is located.

Additionally, the PRC claims sovereignty over the territory administered by the Republic of China (ROC), claiming most of it as its Taiwan Province. The ROC also administers some offshore islands which form Fujian Province, ROC. These were part of an originally unified Fujian province, which since the stalemate of the Chinese Civil War in 1949 has been divided between the PRC and ROC.

I made a thread on this but it got moved so no-one can see it http://callofdutyzombies.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=147&t=28244 Die Rise Loading Screen 1. Die Rise / Great Leap Forward Loading Screen (Note Mystery Man in top right Picture) TranZit / Green Run Loading Screen Postcard. I'm not a 100% sold on this but thought I'd include it. 2.

It seems to be the Colorado/New Mexico Border?

I hope you like this one Tac. http://callofdutyzombies.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=139&t=28248 I have no idea of the timeframe. It must be after 2000 (see thread)

The Jin Mao Tower http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jin_Mao_Tower http://arch48jliang.wordpress.com/2008/09/06/jin-mao-tower-shanghai/ http://skyscrapercenter.com/shanghai/jin-mao-building/ Construction started - 1994 Completed - 1999 Official dedication was August 28, 1998, a date also chosen with the number 8 in mind. The building was fully operational in 1999. The Jin Mao Tower; literally "Golden Prosperity Building" is an 88-story landmark skyscraper in the Lujiazui area of the Pudong district of Shanghai, People's Republic of China. It contains offices and the Shanghai Grand Hyatt hotel. Until 2007 it was the tallest building in the PRC, the fifth tallest in the world by roof height and the seventh tallest by pinnacle height. The building's proportions revolve around the number 8, associated with prosperity in Chinese culture. The 88 floors (93 if the spire floors are counted) are divided into 16 segments, each of which is 1/8 shorter than the 16-storey base. The tower is built around an octagon-shaped concrete shear wall core surrounded by 8 exterior composite supercolumns and 8 exterior steel columns. Three sets of 8 two-story high outrigger trusses connect the columns to the core at six of the floors to provide additional support. The building employs an advanced structural engineering system of wind and earthquake engineering which fortify it against typhoon winds of up to 200 km/h (with the top swaying by a maximum of 75 cm) and earthquakes of up to 7 on the Richter scale. The steel shafts have shear joints that act as shock absorbers to cushion the lateral forces imposed by winds and quakes, and the swimming pool on the 57th floor is said to act as a passive damper. Along with the Oriental Pearl Tower, it is part of the Pudong skyline. Its height was surpassed on September 14, 2007 by the Shanghai World Financial Center which is next to the building. The Shanghai Tower, a 128-story building located next to these two buildings and now under construction, will be even taller.

Awesome Eyes guys!!!! I thought it was a postcard. The Green Run loading screens are postcards! Nice eyes

You mean these shots? I was almost going to include these but wasn't sure. @ Samantha - I don't think it's a zombie as he is standing up too straight. His Poise is so much like the Mystery Man.
