That's assuming that Moon takes place in the 60's. It works with your "alternate timelines" theory, but if we were to stick to just one timeline and avoid paradoxes, then I believe it has to be at least after 2011, after Call of the Dead. Kino Der Toten shows the Fernsehturm tower, construction beginning in 1965. Ascension is then after Kino Der Toten, but is in 1963, two years prior. In my opinion, a single timeline theory is not feasible. I noticed that. However, the events in Kino didn't affect the timeline in a major way, so I think it could slide. All time traveling events following Ascension, as far as I can see, are all forward, not backward.

Yes, that is what I believe too. I think he has been searching for people to help him ever since he committed suicide and got sucked into the MPD, which is around 1945. That would mean he wasn't exaggerating when he said he was searching for decades. I've wondered that as well, however I don't foresee that as likely. If he had been searching for survivors for decades, starting in 1945, he had found them in 1965+ when Richtofen, Dempsey, Takeo, and Nikolai arrived on the Moon, so that would've been the appropriate time to say he'd found survivors. That's my opinion at least, plus survivors is a more appropriate term after an event that effect a large amount of people (missiles) than a singular/small group (Maxis in MPD). That's assuming that Moon takes place in the 60's. It works with your "alternate timelines" theory, but if we were to stick to just one timeline and avoid paradoxes, then I believe it has to be at least after 2011, after Call of the Dead.

I don't see how anyone could've survived after their guts and spleen fell out of their stomach... You have some crazy theory my friend.

Hopefully we'll get something tomorrow... But they might put out more teasers with more Letters from the Field before putting out this bad boy, so who can say for sure?

OK, someone pointed out in the "1996 sign in Die Rise" thread a very important detail: when first collecting a Power-Up in TranZit, Richtofen would comment on him just getting used to the Aether. I don't know about you, but I think it clearly means that it hasn't been very long since Richtofen took control of the zombies. The 20-year stretch wouldn't fit very well now would it?

Or even the Remington New Model Army... BTW, isn't that just the Olympia Nikolai's holding? You can clearly see the vents on the barrel of the gun.

Now instead of giant metal sawblades ramming down on you, you have giant metal feet stomping on you instead. I can already see the similarities...

Well, my idea is that there are alternate timelines. Every time we time travel or teleport, we are taken to a new timeline or reality. So therefore, everything can actually happen no matter the time period it's in. For example, everything you do in this reality effects everything in future realities, but no past ones. So seeing as Call of the Dead came first, it effects everything in future timelines (Moon). Moon is second, and it does not effect anything in past timelines (Call of the Dead). And the reason that the map has to happen so late is because of the Chernobyl references, meaning it's at least 1986 in my opinion. Hmm, I guess alternate timelines is a good idea. Wouldn't work with BO2's maps though, since Richtofen and Maxis are still aware of every step the New Crew does. Unless they travel along with you through realities, which would really be a mindfucking situation...

Looked through the timeline, and I thought something was off here: if Moon really took place during the 60s, wouldn't it basically create a giant paradox? It would mean that the events of CotD and Shangri-La could never have happened, and we all know they had to happen in order for Richtofen to retrieve the Golden Rod and the Focusing Stone. Same with Nuketown. A lot of time traveling is involved in Zombies, but I believe that they always travel forward so that the events don't overlap. Short term time traveling like the Eclipse in Shangri-La doesn't affect other maps, so it was somewhat alright. But Moon, on the other hand, changed the course of the story very differently, thanks to Richtofen taking control. Also, Green Run doesn't need to happen so long after Moon/Nuketown. When Maxis said he has been searching for decades, obviously he might be referring to the moment after he was transferred into the MPD in 1945, up to the point where he met the New Crew. While the Old Crew was doing Richtofen's bidding, Maxis was doing his own thing. It would also fit Nuketown better, seeing as Marlton was present at the site (though he hid inside a bunker most of the time). The gap between Moon/Nuketown and Green Run is probably only a few days to a week or so, which is enough for certain events to happen (Misty's father getting killed by zombies, Russman meeting Stuhlinger and acquiring the bus, etc...).

A large chunk of 115 I guess? That seems to be the answer to everything these days in Zombies.

In the trailer, when Blundell mentions the original characters, Nikolai's solo shot shows him carrying a Ballista with Iron Sight.

There's not much to go on from that trailer. But who knows? There might be some sort of audio log in Origins that ties in with MotD. For now, we wait.

First of all, I never thought of World at War as part of the Zombies storyline. Mainly because back then, there was barely any story. Zombies really began with Black Ops. That's when they started adding things in here and there. And in no way is Buried's ending a true ending. Seriously, it's like Moon's cliffhanger times two. We still have yet to find out what Samantha and the Old Crew are doing, and we barely got to know the New Crew (I don't care about the whole Round Infinity or Maxis destroying the Earth, I know they'll find their way around somehow. It just can't end so soon for them). I'm pretty sure that Treyarch's next game will have a definitive end. The question is: how are they gonna follow up from Buried? Either: A, pick a canon ending and follow up from there; or B, come up with some crazy story so that somehow both endings fit the new story.

Hasn't the Mystery Box been known to pull out guns from pretty much every time period? Gameplay wise, it's just easier to use existing weapons. At least Treyarch tried to do something new by adding in more era-specific weapons, even new ones like the Mauser and MG08. Remember, this is a world where you can pull guns off of a chalk line on the wall. There is very little logic here.

Most likely more Grief maps, this time with Nazis vs. Marines.

Don't think so... At that time, Fluffy hasn't been zombified. I'm sure she hasn't even been born, for that matter. Besides, I think the Big Daddy lookalike zombie will be the boss for this map. No need for Hellhounds to show up. If there are small Survival/Grief maps included, then maybe. But then again, Nuketown and Mob of the Dead didn't have any options for Hellhound either, so it's unlikely they're putting one in for Origins.

Me and my friends tried to do Die Rise's quest a few days ago and got stuck somehow, because we couldn't get the symbols on the elevator to light up, even when all 4 of us were already in position. We thought it was probably a glitch in the map, but it repeated every time we played the map. I thought something was missing, so I tried to do some random things. Eventually, I built the NAV table. And after that, the elevator step worked. For all our games after that, the NAV table stays built, and the elevator step would always work without fail. So my question is: is this a mere coincidence, or is the NAV table really required to even start High Maintenance? Many of the guides say they don't need the table built, while some do, so I'm a little bit confused.
