  1. Great post @Bauerklos You should also check out @Rissole25 thread - The Comic Tears It is highly detailed & also covers some of the things you mention. Regarding the chequered tiles, I think @AlphaSnake posted something about the black & white tiles possibly being a reference to Free-Masonry? (I can't find the post though. Somebody did anyway) Though it can also just be a 1950's Rock-a-Billy reference too (funny that it appears in Kino though. I also thought that it appeared on more loading screens, but I just checked all of them & it is only Tranzit & Nuketown) Great stuff Liz, I don't think I had noticed that before. I had only spotted 935 & 1915. @Slade Never had noticed the left to right order for Die Rise isn't correct either. Thanks for that Slade. Chinese comic for a Chinese map. Cheers!
  2. @superstudmuffin Ah man, but having some small obscure reference to the next or upcoming map is awesome. Getting it accurate is a completely different story! I'm so hoping they do some type of GK Nova style viral for their next game, as I was only a Zombie Slayer back then & not involved in any forums for the epic ness that was the GK Viral.
  3. So I tweeted this to Jimmy. And guess what? He Favorited it! So stoked!!! https://twitter.com/Pinnaz/status/554951515434012672 https://twitter.com/Pinnaz/status/554965172347863040 Now to look at the church picture. Louisiana Voodoo or Roman Catacombs?
  4. So I did a little digging around and found out that Jimmy's Twitter background image is St Valerius who is buried in Weyarn, Germany. The image is taken from a book published in 2013 by ~ Paul Koudounaris - Heavenly Bodies: Cult Treasures and Spectacular Saints from the Catacombs Death has never looked so beautiful. The fully articulated skeleton of a female saint, dressed in an intricate costume of silk brocade and gold lace, withered fingers glittering with colorful rubies, emeralds, and pearls—this is only one of the specially photographed relics featured in Heavenly Bodies. In 1578 news came of the discovery in Rome of a labyrinth of underground tombs, which were thought to hold the remains of thousands of early Christian martyrs. Skeletons of these supposed saints were subsequently sent to Catholic churches and religious houses in German-speaking Europe to replace holy relics that had been destroyed in the wake of the Protestant Reformation. The skeletons, known as “the catacomb saints,” were carefully reassembled, richly dressed in fantastic costumes, wigs, crowns, jewels, and armor, and posed in elaborate displays inside churches and shrines as reminders to the faithful of the heavenly treasures that awaited them after death. Paul Koudounaris gained unprecedented access to religious institutions to reveal these fascinating historical artifacts. Hidden for over a century as Western attitudes toward both the worship of holy relics and death itself changed, some of these ornamented skeletons appear in publication here for the first time. Extraordinary pictures of the catacomb ‘saints’ In 1578 the remains of thousands of individuals assumed to be early Christian martyrs were discovered in Rome. The remains were given fictitious names and sent to Catholic churches and religious institutions in German-speaking Europe as relics of saints to replace holy relics that had been destroyed during the Protestant Reformation. Reassembled by skilled artisans, encrusted with gold and jewels and richly dressed in fantastic costumes, the skeletons were displayed in elaborate public shrines as reminders of the spiritual treasures that awaited the faithful after death. For nearly three centuries the skeletons were venerated as protectors of their communities until doubts about their authenticity surfaced in the modern era. They then became a source of embarrassment for the Church and most were destroyed or hidden away. In his new book, Heavenly Bodies, art historian Paul Koudounaris tracked down a number of these skeletons, gaining unprecedented access to photograph them in some of the most secretive religious establishments in Europe. St Valerius in Weyarn Maybe it has to do with the Catacombs. But Roman Catacombs? Catacomb Saints Jimmy also has this statement/question - Do You Want to Build a Snowman Maybe he watched the kids movie "Frozen" over the Holidays?
  5. That wasn't the point I was trying to make. In all versions of CoDz there has been some great stuff posted but also a lot of junk!
  6. Agree with you to an extent OP. @Speedo Cola has it spot on. The lack of small hard to find/hidden story is what was missing form Black Ops 2. Tranzit had the makings of continuing a great mix of history, myth & conspiracies. Continuing the "Space Race" story & into the "Atomic Age" but somehow fell down & was completely left out of all the other maps. Though there is still a lot of really well hidden Easter eggs in all of the other maps, many of these things are probably not known or not of interest to people & the big popular YouTube channels. Can you give me a run down on all the things you know in these BO2 maps @SeasonSix ? By the sound of it there are probably heaps of things you do not know about. But the "Not shoved down your face" Easter eggs are what was completely missing & a dissapontment to me. Who knows what Treyarch will do with this years Zombies? Time will tell
  7. @yourmapper @GRILL I spotted this last night too. I don't have much time for a detailed post but - Louisiana Voodoo Not to be confused with Hoodoo (folk magic) or Haitian Vodou. Louisiana Voodoo is often confused with—but is not completely separable from—Haitian Vodou and southern American Hoodoo. It differs from Vodou in its emphasis upon Gris-Gris, Voodoo queens, use of Hoodoo paraphernalia, and Li Grand Zombi.
  8. Absolutely. To all the Staff & the people that worked behind the scenes reporting & testing. I thank you for your time. I love this site & love this game. It has been a great hobby & relaxant for me over the past 5 or so years. I also forgot to say thank you very much for incorporating the "Zombies Library's" as it's own webpage/wiki. I want to include as many interesting (factual) things about each map & articles about this game in the Library. But I also need help. Please contribute whatever you can. We need the current maps to be as close to finished before the next Treyarch Zombies game is released. Thanks again all!
  9. Excuse my language, but I hope you can hear how load I yelled - "F**k Yeah!" You have once again done an outstanding job in updating & innovating Call of Duty: Zombies.com Thank you so much Craig. Exciting times
  10. Thanks for posting that @MixMasterNut Here are a few more video links for Call of Duty: Online Making of "Call of Duty: Online - Live Action Trailer" - Chris Evans Interview Raven Software Developer Interview - Call of Duty: Online All 3 of these videos are on the Call of Duty: Online website homepage right now - http://codol.qq.com/ Here are a heap more "Online" videos - Call of Duty: Online - Video Playlists I'm thinking that "Call of Duty: Online" is a beta test for the future of the Call of Duty Franchise. "Free-to-Play" "Call of Duty Online is a Free-to-Play entry in the Call of Duty series made for the Chinese market." - Raven Software This is the all important video. All of the Developers working together under Activision. Interviews from all of the Company Heads - Must Watch http://v.qq.com/cover/p/p3esr32civojlyw.html?vid=q00144rkdeo
  11. Argh, in true Mocking form, he just trolled everybody to get some discussion happening again. Good topic!
  12. This is a great idea EJ. This could absolutely work. Even from a developing/mapping point of view this could be achievable. Rock bridge in one dimension, tree top jungle rope bridge in the other. The only downside would be that twice the amount of mapping would need to be done. I'm sure there are other games that have something similar to this. I would love to see this in Zombies. Fits with the story split too Brains EJ

      Captain's log, Sub. 127986 attempted to convince us of being subject 127987 today, odd, as 127987 died in the fire of london… This requires further observation...

      Hello Test Subject #118341

  14. Thanks for posting all the links @GRILL I've been listening to them this morning. (AlphaSnake posted them in his Media Library thread, other than that not sure if they have been posted anywhere else) They got into trouble? Looking at the credits page on the website (Grill posted "more information") they do not credit Treyarch or Activision at all. There is just a disclaimer stating the characters are fictional etc. Tell me more @Tasha
  15. That is a freakin' good video mate. Round 13, no perks, just flopping! I have never seen that '30 point' "buck fidy rolled" before. Is that only with the sniper perk?
  16. This was posted on the Treyarch Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/Treyarch/photos/a.10150344869682724.352265.43119577723/10152513519132724/ This would be a great event to attend if your a Zombies diehard. (Pity it's in Canada - @Tac ) Zombie Choral Canon - Music by Kevin Sherwood On Thursday, April 30, 2015, our very own Kevin Sherwood (Sr. Sound Designer, Audio) will be on hand at Concordia University College of Alberta for the Zombie Choral Cannon. The event will feature choir arrangements of select Treyarch Zombies music. This special performance will also feature the voices of Elena SiegmanandMalukah -- we couldn't be more excited for them to share a stage and help celebrate Zombies music! For ticket information, head to: http://bit.ly/16zPTcV Update - March 2nd ~ Kevin Sherwood posted this info video on YouTube No Drums or Guitars, just the voices of Elena, Malukah & the Choir Message from Elena Message from Maluka https://www.facebook.com/malukah7/videos/vb.159652207381205/972636376082780/?type=2&theater Treyarch have posted photos on Instagram - https://instagram.com/treyarch/ From Elena Siegman - https://instagram.com/pazazygeek/ And what I'm really excited about is that the concert will be put on Youtube!
  17. Thanks @Lenne - 4000 posts! You made me re-read & enjoy this thread again. I really need to fix a few things. Hope I can find the time.
  18. How good is it having @Tac back as a regular poster! Legend!

      Haha I appreciate the kind words sir :)

    Astronaut?

    Exploit, not Glitch. Treyarch may not have intended for it to happen, but I don't consider it glitching. Just because he is stuck in one of the tunnels, doesn't ensure high endless rounds.
  20. Get behind the CoDz Year End Awards - go & nominate in one of these topics - http://www.callofdutyzombies.com/forum/index.php/forum/226-codz-year-end-awards/

  21. @Tac keep in mind that there is also the "story" forum within the "General Discussion" Forum I like your proposals too. A bit of brainstorming to minimise the sections will be good
  22. Im hoping/thinking that all of those additional threads were the spam threads from the VBulletin site? Hopefully....
  23. @ - Thanks for your previous replies. Completely agree with what yourself, Chopper & Matuzz posted. Re-reading my first post, I realised that I stated that it should not be for active members & only for past members, that is not what I meant. I hope this clears up what my thoughts are on the matter. Any member should be considered & the quotes below are exactly what the criteria should be for members to be selected into both "Veterans" & "Hall of Famer" usergroups. Admin/Staff decision obviously. I just wanted to voice the candidates that I think should already be in that usergroup. Sorry if it was wrong to post those names.
  24. WOW! just realised it's been 1 year since I posted the Codz Library's. And I've only really finished Nacht, Verrückt & almost Shi No Numa. Check 'em out if you haven't already - http://www.callofdutyzombies.com/forum/index.php/topic/158237-world-at-war-zombies-library/

      Immense amount of work @PINNAZ, huge undertaken.

      I want to evolve the Library, not sure how yet but I do want to evolve it to the next level (still a topic but also a specialise wiki style page, if you know what I mean).
