Just another tidbit of information not new but kinda strange. The Call of duty Facebook page has been posting picture of previous zombies maps with a caption relating to the maps in an album called zombies 101. Could this mean we will be seeing the old maps return or is this nothing ?

Nacht der Untoten: Everyone eventually needs a little "help."

Verrückt: Cryptic messages... or just the ramblings of the insane?

Der Riese: The shortest path between two points isn’t a straight line… it’s an MDT.

Treyarch has just posted what looks like a new quick revive emblem on there twitter.

Dan Amrich has just posted an old article about the Rezurrection map pack in this article he interview Jimmy Zielinski. he asks jimmy "Why is Rezurrection misspelled? Is there significance to that?" Jimmy then replies " You never know where hints and Easter eggs may appear in Zombies. What looks like a typo may be a typo…but it might also be the hidden truth behind everything." This may not be anything important, but makes me wonder why post it again?

TRANZIT

Tranzit is Zombies' new story-based campaign set in an "expansive world" for players to explore. "It's massive," Lamia said, describing an open area game world with interconnected zones. Players will have access to transportation, the fortified bus seen in Zombies mode's first trailer, to travel from map to map. The bus provides players with shelter, Treyarch says, "but it's also a confined space, so it comes with its own issues." Players will be able to fight on the bus as it transports the team. They'll also be able to get off the anti-zombie bus, "go out into the fog" to explore, and search for items and new dangers.

Lamia said Tranzit mode will feature player-created items, "buildables" that can be used as weapons or a means of defense. Black Ops 2 Zombies' new trailer shows DIY assault shields, which like their Black Ops 2 multiplayer equivalents, can be planted to provide mobile cover.

In Tranzit, players will be able to piece together the cooperative multiplayer mode's storytelling. Lamia hinted that the plot of Zombies mode in Black Ops 2 will tie back into the fiction of the Moon map released last year for the original Call of Duty: Black Ops.

"If you played 'Moon,' the actions you had there may have had some impact on what happens in Black Ops 2 Zombies," Lamia said, implying that players will be battling the undead in a post-apocalyptic world borne by decisions from Treyarch's previous Zombies mode.

GRIEF

a new competitive mode that pits humans versus humans versus zombies — nicknamed "4z4" mode by Lamia — in a last team standing battle for survival. In Grief, players can't directly shoot each other to kill the opposing team, Lamia says. Only zombies can take out a team of humans.

"But you can make their lives harder," he teased, adding that the mode is built on the foundation of "griefing" player-harassment game mechanics that give it its name.

Grief will be playable in matches of two to eight players in various team-sizes. As in Survival, players will control teams comprised of agents from two United States government agencies: the CIA and CDC. The four playable characters seen in Tranzit appear to be unique to that game mode.

SURVIVAL

has the "more classic zombies vibe," where zombie aggressors attack the player within a single area from the "expansive" Tranzit world. From its description, things work relatively the same as they have in the past: hole up, fortify your location and venture out to grab bonuses scattered throughout the environment when you find the right moment.

Survival areas are "carved out" of the Tranzit world and customized by Treyarch to act much like dedicated maps. Though Lamia wouldn't give an exact number, he promised players will have access to "multiple areas" in Survival that are designed to be played as a standalone section (solo or as a 4-player co-op experience). These areas feature the same gameplay zombie fans are used to, including magic items and 'Pack-a-Punch' machines.

TRANZIT

STAT TRACKING

Zombie fans will now have "extensive stats" attached to their monster hunting sessions, much like multiplayer fans have in the competitive part of the game.

LEADERBOARDS

Stat tracking transitions into leaderboards for each zombie mode and can be broken down in detailed ways, like ranking based on maps. As an example, Lamia says players could check rankings for Survival in one particular area. "That will have its own leaderboard," Lamia added, mentioning detailed breakdowns for the other modes as well. "A lot more leaderboards, a lot more stats."

IMPROVED MATCHMAKING

Using the multiplayer system, the game will attempt to match players faster than it has in the past. Because stats are tracked, Lamia says, Treyarch "will do [its] best" to match players with similar skill in the zombies mode. Of course, players can jump in and play with friends or anyone of varied skill levels if they choose.

CUSTOM GAMES

"Now we're going to let you create custom games of the modes I just talked about," Lamia says. Creating a custom zombie game, players can make a series of decisions including setting a starting round (with players given points at the beginning of the match that are relative to the round choice, so players can purchase weapons and items to help them survive), you can set challenges like 'Headshots Only' at the beginning of the match or at specific rounds, turn magic items off (no perk machines, no 'Pack-a-Punch,' no mystery boxes). Lamia says there will be a laundry list of tweaks players can make.

Check back for daily info

[punkrockzombie]

Okay so i have been looking over the forum and the interwebs and have noticed people generally think this is a achievement emblem or a prestige emblem, i totally agree with these people and think that it may be a prestige emblem, i think that prestiges in zombies would be great and i would even go to the extent to say having a create a class function in 4z4 mode would be awesome but not in the classic mode.

The next image i think could be a major hint towards a new live action trailer coming in the next few weeks, the trailers they released for moon were awesome and i think this will definitely be something treyarch would want to revisit, i guess only time will tell but personally i really wanna see another live action trailer, with maybe some game-play after it like the one for moon.

also treyarch really need to release something soon i'm starting to lose the excitement i has before just cause they keep teasing ....

[speedmetal890]

Good way to put it all in one place

I like it.

[punkrockzombie]

Thanks will keep it updated everyday, any idea's on what i should post on days with no news would be a great help :)

yay it's been so long since a megathread started. I look forward to this thread expanding with 63 days worth of treyarch teasing us. OH IT'S A PICTURE OF A STREET SIGN WITH ZOMBIES - THIS CONFIRMS EVERYTHING. 8-)

also - THIS IS MY 115TH POST. worth saying.

[xXExpertCoahXx]

Notice next to the Zombie Lane sign there is a barrier replica with bloodstained boards.

yeah. bullet holes in the bottom. i honestly think this is nothing. them saying "who's ready for a ride" could totally just be them saying "are you ready for the release on nov. 13th?" TREYARCH PLEASE PROVE ME WRONG.

[xXExpertCoahXx]

I hope we get a gameplay trailer like we did with COTD and Ascension. Those were awesome.

[punkrockzombie]

I think at this stage i would be happy with anything, i personally feel treyarch is dragging this out too long and they need to stop teasing, kinda of getting bored of it and they may be hyping up the game way more than they should be, i have a worry i may be disappointed not because the game will be bad but because they hyped it and teased it so much ...

[xXExpertCoahXx]

Yeah...Whenever they teased Halo Reach out of the wazoo I didn't really care much for it when it came out. I was just like 'meh'.

[punkrockzombie]

Yep i'm kinda like don't tease me if you ain't gonna give me any info...

[kingsly zzissou]

guys...

you are not going to be disappointed. let's keep our heads and enjoy the ignorance while it lasts, because once we know everything - the presents opened, the holiday is over. enjoy the teasing my friends.

[kingsly zzissou]

hey punkrock, i thought it might be good to mention some pretty interesting things that happen today in history, and astronomically -

September 13th

Historically:

1987 – Goiânia accident: A radioactive object is stolen from an abandoned hospital in Goiânia, Brazil, contaminating many people in the following weeks and causing some to die from radiation poisoning.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goi%C3%A2nia_accident

Astronomically:

tonight, you can see the andromeda galaxy in the sky (closest galaxy to earth)

[punkrockzombie]

Awesome, interesting find :D

[FatedTitan]

Where's the truck going? Well, it's in a turn lane and the only sign we see says "Santa." I'll take the wild guess that this is Santa Monica, CA. That is where Treyarch is located. Won't be long guys.

[Nemesis_96]

Woah people look at the wood! (hehe I said wood..)
