Hi guys. Im Jag and im obviously new here. I have been a huge fan of zombies ever since WaW and have constantly been helping solve the different easter eggs and uncover the story. I was a pretty big poster on the CoD forums, but I usually hang in the background and observe. Now with Die Rise, the biggest, most interesting, and in my opinion the best map so far, I've decided to come back and help figure it all out.
So the first point I would like to make are the clues that lead me to believe that we have to connect the two skyscrapers. The first clue is the Richtofen quote in the opening cutscene. You cant actually make out his voice, but Stu says "Mend the rift? What if I dont wanna?". He says this as he stand on the ledge of the first building, looking down into the depths. I interpret "mend the rift" to mean that we need to fix the rift and find a way across. The second clue is the achievement "High Maintenance". The title itself is a giveaway. "maintenance" implies fixing or building something. Secondly, the description says "be the architect" which also implies building something. Finally the picture, the biggest clue of all. The picture shows one skyscraper with its top half ripped off. This half collapses to connect the two skyscrapers.
What I have concluded from all of this is that at some point,we will have to topple pat of the main skyscraper to connect it to the other. What we will have to do after that is beyond me. I think it might be like Moon and there will be a second part to complete after the first.
What do you guys think? Please contribute.
