Wrong. Denizens will kill you after 3 consecutive slashes no matter what. You stepped into a lit area (stops, etc.) or near a streetlamp.

Only buildable I found useful at all was the Turbine.

SHANGRI LA
This map. Where do I begin? I'll begin at the start of the map. From the get go you are treated to the most beautiful zombie map to date. With the bright colors, detailed foliage, and ancient temple asthetic that can't be beat. Hell, the blue sky even contrasts beautifully with the orange of the map itself.
With tons of new ways to influence the way you play zambies, this has to be one of the most feature-rich maps to date. With the escape routes like the Mine Cart and Slide, the Water "Trap", the geysers propelling you around the map, etc.
What was even better is that the small size and difficulty of the map actually forced you to use these features to survive, instead of just being additions, they were damn-near neccessities. It really changed the way you played zambies.
The bosses were really cool too. Walking traps that had a real effect on the gameplay. Flamey and Shrieky will live on forever in my heart. Though there wasn't much justification to them being there (Genetix experimentz gais) they made the map far more enjoyable.
Monkeys stealing and randomizing our power-ups always kept ypu on your toes and discouraged the slow-paced gameplay of other maps. That's another point. This map is fast, a very nice change of pace from maps like Moon.
The design of the actual Zambies themselves were also wonderful. You had female zambies for the first time, those little shriveled guys that looked absolutely ravaged crawling around, and they're all covered in 115 cancer stuff. Awesome.
It's also got some of the funniest lines in the game.
DER RIESE
An absolute Titan of a map, "The Giant" is correct. In a map like this, you knew shit was gonna go down. The aesthetic is absolutely wonderful. That kind of ruined industrial feel that future maps like Ascension just can't match. The whole place is dirty and gritty, serious. Worse graphics actually benefit this map, IMO, gives it an even rougher feel.
Hellhounds. Not only do I love these little guys to death in their normal hellrounds, but 3Arc had the INGENIOUS idea to put Hellhounds in with regular zambies, just to keep things fresh and interesting. It's not just a giant horde of zambies after you, it's a pack of wild devil dogs punching ahead of the pack to murder you horribly.
It's Der Riese guys, come on.
GREEN RUN
MASSIVE in size and in appeal, Green Run gets my third spot.
While some whiny little people will complain about how "Itz too hard" or "itz dumbZ" and "Take out the stupid lava, and the fog, and the denizens, and all the stuff that makes this map unique", I contiue to defend the decisions 3Arch has made here.
The map's atmosphere is unquestionably the best in the series. (Some may argue for Verruckt but I can't hear any of those damn sounds while I'm NOT walking a crawler) Fog and lava, with 115 raining down from the sky, it's magnificent, and you can't deny it.
More difficulty is IMO a good thing. Treyarch are trying to expand upon the simplistic gameplay of Zambies. Play Green Run then play Kino Der Toten. The difference is uncanny.
Buildables, while I find many of them to be useless, are a very cool addition. It gives yet another element of progression into Zambies, and encouraged you to explore. "I need the plow, damn, not here, gotta look around more". Great.
Lava and exploding zambies damaging other zambies which you can set on fire again and do way more damage to the whole horde since zambies on fire have less health anyway = win
Not-so-Perma-perks = win
More max zambies = win
They added so much to Zambies in Green Run, and it's just the starting point.
Plus the map is super fun. Everyone knows that moment when you're stuck on Farm and can't cross the lava without Jug and you see the bus's headlights and it's like your saviours have arrived, as everyone piles out and finished the round. Great.
Also it looks super cool.

In my opinion it is already gory enough. ^^
I own albums with covers gorier than this game. It could do with a little more, if that's the direction 3Arc wishes to go. Which it probably isn't.

One person from a company known for trolling us said one thing that can be construed in many ways that directly contradicts what the creative developer of the gamemode said multiple times on many occasions once.
KUNFURRRRRRRRRMED!!!!!!!

Ranks are pretty accurate from what I've seen. Crossbones suck, Skulls are ok, knives are good, shotguns are great.

You guys know who you're talking to, correct?

Being holed up in this ruined building was very representative of my life. Anyone who wanted in would have to tear down the boards, and it was equally difficult to leave. I suppose seclusion was preferable to company, if one's company had the goal of devouring you.
I wasn't normally one to hide from something like this, but even I need to sleep. When I would leave, however, was a different story altogether. The longer I waited inside the more vermin would swarm outside, making leaving even harder.
The more I dwelled on this, the more I realized how bad an idea this was. I should be moving, I should be finding food. I was starving.
Rising up and dusting myself off, I walked to one of the boarded windows, observing the surrounding area. Apparently my fears had been simple paranoia, with none of the undead roaming the vincinity.
Well, zombies present or not, my mind was made up. Today would be the day I found food. No rest until I ate something.
"That's a stupid idea and you know it." I said as I began to dismantle the barricades attached to one of the windows.
"Well, it's the only one we've got, so if you've got any suggestions," I said as I heaved the heavy board off the wall and onto the floor, "I'd love to hear them." I was silent as I removed another board. "Mhmm," I exclaimed. "That's what I thought." I said as I climbed out into the lava-encrusted world.
"Ugh. Such a boring landscape for an apocalypse." I said, surveying the area. A thick, dense fog obscured most of my visibility, but through it there seemed to be nothing to see anyway.
Blindly making my way though the mist, as I had become accustomed to in my time here, I walked forward, searching for anything to poke it's head into visibility. With only the lava in the ground to light my way, progress was slow.
* * *
Later on that uneventful day, the claws of sleep threatened to wrap themselves around my mind again. "Still think this was a good idea?" I said.
"Better than starving to death," I replied, removing sweat-soaked hair from my face.
"Not by much." I said, "Why don't we just eat the zombies?"
"Dude, what the hell is wrong with you?"
"Yeah, that's pretty fucked up." I said, disgusted with myself.
"Why?" I asked, insulted. "It's just meat, like any other."
"Yeah, but, it's people, man!" I said, appalled.
"Plus tons of diseases and who else knows what are probably crawling around in there."
"Ok, you have to be my least favorite mes I've seen yet. The real Dempsey would never get squeamish over this. I live a life of the flesh, why not partake in it's flavor as well?" I asked smugly. Eager to see my counter-arguments.
"OW!" I exclaimed, realizing my foot had been singed in the time I was speaking. "Fucking fire." I muttered as I continued on my way to nowhere.

"That all changed when he touched the pyramid and began hearing voices."
Stuhlinger is the one who hears Richtofen in tranzit. Maybe he needs to touch the pyramid for the next clue?
The Pyramid in question is the M.P.D. An ancient and vastly powerful device found deep inside the Moon believed to have been built by the Vril-Ya. Not much is known about it, aside from the fact that whoever is inside it pretty much becomes a deity and can control Zombies, among other things.
It also serves as a way for your soul to travel into the Aether, as demonstrated by Richtofen's soul being in the Aether "Still adjusting to the Aether, it wreaks havoc on the pipes"
Whoever is in the Aether through the M.P.D. is, again, essentially a deity, able to control zombies and have many other powers we know nothing about yet.
The device is also powered/awakened by souls, for some reason. Probably just to make the Story Quest (these are NOT Easter Eggs anymore) harder.
-
Imagine this picture with the ears cut out of it. Now look at the pyramid when you head out of the fog. Looks almost identical.
A big rock/mound of dirt looks identical to a knife?
And Triple said I was crazy.
-
People see bloody clothes in both maps and try to connect the two. Been done before.

Doubles your melee speed and increases your melee damage by approx. 33%. Useful in general, but especially if you have a knife upgrade (ballistic knife, Bowie knife, galva knuckles) and against denziens, or whatever variations we may see in the future.
I hope to see a new, more clever and fitting physical model for the knife in the future maps. The sickle on the two Russian maps was clever. My only desire is that when we finally make it to Paris I get to skewer undead with a wicked cooking utensil.
EJ!!!!!!!
HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN ABOUT KNIFE-AID??????!!!!!

Marlton was a genius character. Funny, intelligent quotes, and many subtle hints towards a past being bullied or working with other organizations. Very well voice acted to boot. Magnifique.
Misty is an utter failure character-wise. Transparently trying to create a female Dempsey with none of the charm. An annoying voice is punctuated by a ton of "I'm so cool" and "I'm a masculine woman look at me" stuff. Did I mention she was trying too hard to be Dempsey? Yeah, that comes up alot. In addition to not even being well written, with seemingly fewer lines than the other characters, none of which are any fun to listen to, and lack creativity.
Russman. He's actually quiet (I haven't heard many quotes from him despite playing as him alot), but he seems to be pretty cool. A murky Alzheimer-addled past gives alot of oppourtunity to flesh out the character. I hope they don't push an "I'm old and homeless, hur hur hur" thing on him because that would ruin the foundation they could build so much on.
Sam is... an odd one. I enjoy him as a characcter, with many funny lines. I like the "paranoid conspiracy theorist" thing they went with, but I fear in future he may become a broken record. While I'm not sure why they decided to make his love for food so apparent, it's a nice quirk that stops him from being completely one-dimensional. Since they made him so important to the story, I very much hope he stays likeable.

no vidz no believe

TranZit was a stupid pun, so is this.
Fits perfectly.

Found It! It's from WaW files. When Nikolai kills a zombie with a flamethrower. Look at this video. Go to 3:10 That's the quote! I'm now calling Fake. Tac, Lock if you wanna.
Does no one read anymore?
Well this opens up hundreds of new doors for us to speculate.. unless this is fake.Is this a known quote from Nikolai from any previous maps?
Der Riese...
"You know, I was on fire once, It was no fun." (upon getting a kill with the flamethrower)"
-
I agree. This stuff sounds fishy to me. I'll believe when there's actual advertising for it.
I'm not following you here, Murder.

Hello there (at least) 5th "Make a Perk" Thread! How are you?
-
Are we really discussing this?
-
Mock. I think you may be the only one on the forum that "Doesn't buy the Die Rise talk". It was an official poster.
-
I do find this interesting thou however because of the many random quotes the characters have of Forests.
I believe they say those quotes when they enter the forest. Just a guess.
-
Triple, why are you posting in red? I thought we discussed this.
Anyway, while the idea of a weapon that needs kills to be powered-up may be alluring, (The human mind craves progression and reward) it would face some problems.
1: Becoming horribly overpowered to the point where it is a press this button to win gun. (Increasing range, damage, etc would in theory increase infinitely.)
2: At a certain point in the game these upgrades would begin to become pointless as you would be recycling the gun out of the box, essentially undoing whatever you did, or it was at a point where it would simply upgrade past the point of the zombies' health and stay that way, calling the need of it to become more powerful at all into question.
Now, if the weapon did not become overpowered at some point, say if we had a balanced cap on the weapon, again, what is the point of it becoming more powerful? It is a wunderweapon, why not simply set it at that cap? Or have infinite damage, like most wunderweapons?
I'm rambling, as I always do in long posts, but hopefully you'll get the grist of my ideas.
Sorry. I'm posting on my ipod. Because that for some reason gives me an excuse to type badly.

In Black Ops 1 I never got to be Dempsey or Takeo.
Boo-freaking-hoo.
