Happy New Year ! ;D

I just hope they improve the late game of Zombies. After you've PAP'd your guns and enter high rounds it's pretty much: train in this exact spot until you either quit the game because of boredom or accidentally mess up your train because of carelessness thanks to boredom. Whichever comes first. It doesn't really help that nearly all weapons become practically useless after you pass a certain round.

You mean these right? I'm certain Treyarch still has the original super fancy high resolution versions of them somewhere in their office. Remaking them in Photoshop / Illustrator shouldn't be too hard either, right boys? @ @. Especially since the O4's are all redraws of Shi No Numa's loading screen.

@Lenne @PINNAZ Here's the vid of a Q & A with Steve Blum. He talks about the christmas songs and trouble they got into near the end (2:00).

Ooooooooohh, awesome stuff ! Too bad they got into trouble after publishing this. Also @GRILL ever since the new forum, you can view any YT video on your mobile now just as you would on your PC, so no need for the extra links. :3

It would be pretty cool to have a Classic Zombies DLC, free of charge to all zombie lovers at the release of BO3.

But @Boom, we already have a Douche user group.

@GRILL This is where I have a problem. First of all, there's a second more cingular crater to the southwest of Nuketown, so there's a possibility that one was used instead of the crater created by the nuclear blast. image Secondly, we know 115 was present at Nuketown before the rockets hit the earth. And most importantly: the reason why the drilling takes place. According to what we know, there shouldn't be any need of extracting 115 in and around that particular location, after the events of Nuketown Z. Let's recount the facts we know, starting with the map Der Riese. In one of the radios, Maxis expresses his frustration at the fact that the Americans have a very large supply of 115 at one of their Nevada Bases, whilst his supply (and funding) has almost run out. We know obtaining 115 takes tremendous work. In both Origins and Shangri-La, a lot of manpower was used to get it out of the ground. Now interestingly enough, back in Origins either Maxis or Edward already thought of a solution to this problem, the Extraction Drill. That's presumably designed to automate the process of obtaining 115, resulting in much greater efficiency. But due to unknown problems we know they never finished it because apart from blue prints it's never actually seen in Origins. Now enter Nuketown's loading screen, the Extraction Drill is finished and fully functional, meaning whoever's using it found the original designs for it and perfected them, with the ultimate goal of extracting 115. The biggest contradiction to me with the theory of the Loading Screen being in the future is the presence of the extraction drill itself / the reasons behind the extraction. Obviously whoever's operating it, is doing so in order extract 115 out of the ground, but thanks to Nuketown's Season Pass (which details that the dead soldiers turned because of 115 located in a nearby base) + Maxis's intel from Der Riese (that the Americans had a very large supply of 115 to begin with) it just wouldn't make sense for someone in the future to go through all the trouble of re-designing and setting up the extraction drill, when they could've just as easily used the large quantities of 115 that was left in the bases nearby. Not to mention the fact both of the above mentioned prove the Americans either imported, or extracted the 115 themselves for studying. Unless, the loading screen is telling us how the Americans got their 115 in the first place. How exactly did they manage to not only get 115 in the first place, but also severely more than Group 935 at the time? Simple, they used the Extraction Drill seen in the loading screen Following this logic: the Americans must've stolen the designs for the Drill around Origins, (+-1918) then they perfected the designs, and started extracting 115 before World War 2. By the time Maxis was asking for more funds, the Americans had surpassed Group 935 in terms of amounts of 115 thanks to the Drill. Then after the war ended, they stopped researching 115 in favor of atomic research. The collected 115 never left their bases, so after Nuketown went kaboom, the soldiers were revived by it. Tl;dr The US had a much larger supply of 115 than the germans back in WW2 -- before the rockets hit Nuketown -- thus they must have extracted it with much greater efficiency than the germans ever could. i.e. they built the Extraction Drill to get their 115 at an incredible rate, then moved it to their bases for studying. As for the God of the Dead, maybe it's meant to be symbolic. Like a harbinger of what's coming?

@GRILL Recently played Nuketown Z again and thar reminded me of this thread. Nice read, bwains to you sir Grillos I. Could you elaborate on why you think Nuketown's loading screen is set in the future? It doesn't make much sense to me. Merci.

Welcome to the site and enjoy your stay. If you have any questions be sure to ask them. : )

@ Dying over here. @ You already did.

We put more :3 into the story. Lots and lots of :3

Bonjoooour ! :3 Welcome to CoDz !

It'd be pretty cool if these files were assembled by Broken Arrow. That would give those guys something to do. We know they're connected to the story in some way, this would seem like a logical connection. Once you've collected some files you wish to examine in detail, you can go back to the main Z menu, and look them up in a sub-menu called Broken Arrow's Database. There you can look up any info related to the outbreak, like wunder weapon schematics, character bios, major events, et cetera. Kind of like BO 1's computer terminal.

Cheer up Mocking ! Just because Treyarch's 2/3 done with their next game, doesn't mean we should stop posting our ideas, wishlists and letting our creative minds loose. Look at Tranzit, that map looks like it was made in less than a week by a team of unpaid interns. :3 I want to see some drastic changes to the Zombies themselves. From the way they move, all the way to how they attack and pose a threat to the players. Giving them one or two special "strafe" moves isn't enough ! And I like the idea of choosing certain perks and benefits before each match starts from Extinction. Getting all the perks just by playing a map for hours is kind of cheap. I like it when you can choose from a list of perks and other bonusses that compliment your own unique playstyle; like being a medic, engineer or a tank. If they combined Extinctions armory and perks with custom zombie load outs in a Create-a-Slayer fashion, that'd be so freakin' aaaawesome !

I liked Origins's way of getting the Pack-A-Punch machine up and running. Something that compliments teamwork; as it's easier to power up the generators with 2 or more players, but can also be done on your own just fine without too much unnecessary tediousness.

@ psssst. What's your IBAN?

I think they purposefully decided not to re-add the Die Rise tear in the Buried comic because everyone already knows by watching the cutscene that Buried takes place right after the events of Die Rise. That's what the tears were originally for; to let you know the correct chronological order the maps take place in. But now with adding in the cutscene movies explaining how they got from one map to the other, they can also just put in one still of that cutscene -- like the N4 standing on the bus -- in one comic panel instead of tearing up half a page.

So, wait. The Shang we see in the comic book, does that whole being sucked into that vortex thing occur before or after the O4 gets there? Not to mention why. :3 Great eye ! :3

Awesome story, mr. Lithium !! ;D "That backpack sure was heavy, you think as your skulls gets crushed against the rocks." Made me laugh, I feel bad now. ^^ not really, > : )

I would love to see a map in an underwater modern city / Hotel. Like Depths from Gears.
