It made me laugh picturing a man kneeling with a treat asking an almost 100 pound pit bull to meow.

If anything, the story about the cat was awesome. At the moment I'm leaning toward the 9 deaths of the characters before and during the game. I'll just throw some random things to try if you can before I get home from work. 1- play around with the number pad in the tunnels using 999(flipped 666 get it?) 2- study each of the 10 suicide switches perhaps there is a visual pattern we're overlooking. Might get lucky and find which of the 10 you should not use. 3-Go to bridge 9 times 4- Have a player bleed out 9 times And I havn't played enough grief to know what is blocked off and what isn't, but perhaps there may be something to compare and contrast in theater mode.

Someone either completed an EE step or they turned on the washing machine would be my guess. As far as the girls scream, I think Flammen hit it right on the head. Other wise it could have just been a random sound. A lot of times on Die Rise I'll hear the quote Maxis says on the first round about 10-20 rounds in he'll say it again the "and you must listen" quote I can't remember the whole thing. Go look at your replay and maybe even let us see it.

I don't think the fireworks have much to do with it, it's as simple as it's new years repeating itself over and over, being we are in an alternate dimension, it would be safe to say that there are no real people even setting them off, just another cruel idea from the controller to show you that you are so very close to civilization, yet ever so far away. Just imagine being stranded in the ocean for a long time, then you see land and signs of life, but every time you get close the waves just carry you farther back. I think that's all the fireworks are there for, a tease to the in game player. But I try to look at all things from both sides so, if in fact it is in reference to Die Rise these would be my ideas. First, it's simply showing us that die rise is going on at the same time as said before about repeating the cycle for one hundred years. Or two, it's showing that it's happening at the same time as Die Rise, but the fireworks we see are in fact across the planet, but we're seeing them because of the broken rift. We are treated to the perk machines phasing in and out (possibly from die rise) as well as a random firework or two that gets through. I still believe my first statement but it's always good to hear others ideas.

Did you get the retriever on round 3 playing solo or MP? The earlier the better I think just because first, it makes getting the redeemer that much easeier and two, I still have a tough time at the docks dog head, it's such a tight spot and I usually come in through the door next to the table which makes it that much harder, but is better than opening the gate by juggernog don't you think?

Correct me if I am wrong, but in an old interview wasn't it said that Moon was initially supposed to be Paris? I'm just hoping if we go there, it isn't filled with smoke or fog.

Same here, I thought I was the shizt because I could get it on round 6 I'll be changing my beginning strategy starting tonight because of this guide one round can make a big difference and who knows I might figure out a round 4 update 8-)

You could very well be right, I'll need to test when I get home. Both times I noticed the light I had not moved the box, but I cannot tell you if they had spawned in the same spot both games. If I had to guess I would say the spot I seen looked to maybe be at the Wardens Office. I will find out if moving the box changes the location tonight, someone on the bridge and someone moving the box should do it, but I'll leave and return to the bridge just in case you can't be on the bridge to have the "box light" move. With all the little stuff Treyarch does, it's just hard for me to let the little things go And another small question without diverting from the main topic too much, when you take off from the prison on the plane the GGB always looks to be to the right of us, like we're going to pass right by it, then a flash and we are headed right straight for it. Do you think the plane turns and we don't get to see it or is the white flash us being placed in front of it so we don't fall into the water?

So all this time the power up drops have been voiced by Satan?? I could believe that just because a discussion I had a long time ago about how Samantha sounds very much like a child even when she is angry (the hide and seek GAME OVER voice as an example) She has the accent, high pitched,female voice but when we get the power ups they are straight up evil. I think either one of these two things, she was in fact partners with the devil and he speaks through her sometimes, kind of like the exorcist movie Or, Sam is sharing the aether and it's power, but competing at the same time. Sam is trying to kill the original four but the power ups are coming from the demon, who is more than likely just enjoying the whole thing and trying to prolong it. Now with Richtofen you can always tell it's him, so I doubt he is anything close to partners with this second entity. Even on Tranzit his quote when he clears his throat, he still sounds like Richtofen. Being older,wiser and a LOT more insane he can use this power a lot better than Samantha and perhaps the ever so small hints of alien interference could have helped him.

Sorry if this has been mentioned but I've never read any info on this. A few days ago we were doing pop goes the weasel trophy and during the step where you have your first visit to GGB I was messing around and looked up to see a small red flicker in the sky facing back towards the prison. At first I thought it could be a light from the light house but it really is up in the sky so I doubt that could be it, and the fact that it pulses also disproves it to me. Secondly I thought the game had glitched because usually when I'm flying I'll throw my hells retriever and watch it try to catch back up to me. So it made sense that it was just up there spinning because it never got back to me (even though you can still use it). So I started a second, solo game and I had the hells retriever but I did not throw it this time on my way to the GGB, it was still there! So it leaves me to believe that this might be the beginning tear in the rift? I try not to over analyze it because as long as the game is out surely someone has seen this and done research, I just couldn't find anything on these forums so thought I'd share it :)

The multiple Brutus have plagued me as well, I just can't make real sense of it. I mean, is it just a display of the controllers power?

I think you had it right the first time, this isn't grammatically correct, now if it said the big ending will be come the beginning THAT would make a lot more sense, and would compliment Megaton's theory. Also I just want to say those artist/ninjaturtle avatars you mods have are freaking amazing.

You all are ruthless! The worst I've ever done is steal a trample steam, or move it in a different direction. And I've been trying to get the jump scare thing to work on my friends. :roll:

Me and my team went there plenty of times, sounds like you just had a problem with the match.

What's so bad about frags? I usually opt for them since BO2, in Tranzit I used them more often so my grenade wouldn't roll into lava, but on die rise I ignore them completely, it seems they are 90% of the reason trample-steams get destroyed, but that is probably just from my experience. I've always like banking nades off walls :geek:

Was trying this way too late I think, it was around 24-26 rounds in before we (me and two others) started trying to rack up the kills with the retriever. It never worked so I thought I would add to the list of questions. If you are on the bridge and have to rack up the retriever kills, does it reset if you shoot a zombie? Some times I try to acid gat Brutus and it takes out some zombies with him, same with Ray gun, so does this reset my objective? In the case you missed the sound it makes on completion, is there a way to tell if you have successfully thrown the retriever into the fire pit? Last night it would go into the pit and not return to me, but it would still recharge on my screen and I could use it so, when you have thrown it in the pit, does it actually take it away or are we supposed to just not throw it? Like I said I think we were just too far into the game to make a successful attempt, the retriever was really doing that much other than making a crawler every once in awhile and of course it would still kill, would just take a couple of throws.

Took me a while to let the truck idea go, I'm pretty sure it's just for effect. The fact they have WMD on the front plate made me spend more time than I care to admit looking at all of them. I never found anything worth mentioning past the WMD thing.

I've seen a power up inside another definitely in BO2 before, but I always assumed it was just from killing so many at once that two zombies would drop an item too close to each other. I can't even make sense of a zombie dropping two power ups :shock: . At least we know it's not a persistent upgrade.

Yes the last map pack (Rezurrection) contains the WaW maps and the Moon map.

Usually if you fail from trying to jump into to it (pressing jump and forward at the same time) given it's not a total fail and you missed the door completely, you can stand where you have fallen and press jump THEN press forward. Like the above post said (and you probably already know) you can change trajectory in mid air. Seems the only way I can get it is that way, it is a little tricky.

I noticed a big difference on NTZ but I haven't really paid attention to MOTD.

Well if you're interested in learning the story from WaW to BO2 you can just find really good threads here that map them out, or there is always youtube I suppose. Welcome to the game by the way.

Also so I don't have to make a thread I'll ask here, did anyone ever find the connection to the quick flash of a teddy bear in the mob of the dead trailer? It's been bothering me that we have Samantha's voice back but it's before the time she was born????

Pretty sure you were in a custom match alone. Those start with 1 regardless of players in the game. Solo mode will start you with three.

I thought I got something cool from the box when the lock appears Something like "Oooh!...awww" I love the map, everything about it so far is exactly the way I thought it should be.
