Big things I noticed in the zombie trailer

Using the same bait twice?

You called the thread "Big things I noticed in the zombie trailer" and listed those things. You're very presumptuous. It is not like you called the thread "Big things I think I saw in the zombie trailer".

Exactly. You came in sounding like these are things that you KNOW you saw in the trailer. And as far as the "Anything is possible"... Ehhhhhhhh, yes and no.

Yes, odd things do indeed happen and things get EXTREMELY complex, but no because things need to follow something that would make a good story and be justified by the mythos.

Could someone please post a link to the video of the announcement trailer. I can't find it anywhere and my smart phone won't load videos on CoDZ for some reason.

Here you go! There is like a 30 second intro but whatever.

One thing I noticed by the way.

Zombies have scrubs on or some kind of hospital-esque gowns. My two cents on this is that it is NOT located near verrückt. The robot bus guy has no accent and speaks English so it is most certainly in America. My idea is that it's like five and ascension. Zombies with different looks spawn from certain areas. As this is a large town there will be loads of zombie looks. In case you don't get it, I think that for example...

Police zombies spawn from police station

Doctor/patients spawn from a hospital

Farmer zombies from (you guessed it) farm

You get it. They are all exactly the same apart from appearance. That's my guess for what is up with patient zombies.

Sounds like Colorado or Nevada since you see a desert then a town.

[redflame115]

Kinda dont like how the zombies seem faster and versatile hopily they wont be able to grab you but I must admit them interacting more with the environment is awesome!

[TheDunbarian]

It's actually Washington Hanford, I'm telling you guys.

I like how they're faster. Training is effective, but that's why it's boring. Time for Treyarch to mix it up.

My hypothesis since most zombies are either in straightjackets or scrubs is that they are at a asylum or they might have like a quarantine set up somewhere in the city but it went terribly wrong. Oh and also my guess is we will be riding the bus somewhere else and then stop which sounds cool because we would have to fend from zombies while being transported.

Well hopefully we get upgrades!

Also This idea is VERY farfetch'd, but I guess it could work.

If the bus had a flux capacitor, it could drive 88 mph and then TELEPORT instead of time travel. It makes sense. What American city has farms, desert, and dense urban areas within walking distance of each other? Maybe you "jump" between new jersey, Nevada, and Iowa for example? The bus acts as a sort of vulnerable yet mobile teleporter. Again I doubt it but it seems vaguely possible.

And as I said dun, Hanford was one of the earliest map theories I came up with so I don't doubt it. Just adding food for thought.

And flame, nice idea! That seems just as likely.

Oh yeah, I totally thought it was Hanford before it was cool. New jersey is so mainstream. JK

No.

That earned you a warning. We were all new to the forums at some point. I am actually glad to see someone who doesn't know that much about the story, at least not to the level of some of our senior members. It encourages me to attempt to help teach people everything I know and help them as much as I can. :)

OMG, Great idea since there is no teleporter, The bus may very well have a "Flux Capacitor". But who says there has to be a Teleporter??

[Tankeo Dempsaki]

Evidently sarcasm has no place on the Internet.

[o ZiploK]

Perhaps i can figure out the map name... What do you call a bus in "motion" when it moves from one location to another *******

[blooguy8]

The green light in the bus while it is going into the tunnel.

[STOTTINMAD]

What if the thing controlling the bus is more or less spectral. Powering more or less through its ghostly powers thanks to the Aether and its new controller Richtofen.

[Electric Jesus]

I feel certain RE or someone else said the map is called TRANZIT. They must have, since I can't remember where I got that name from :mrgreen:

[Skull_Harvester]

I don't have that much theories since I play zombie mode a few times.

However, what I noticed are these things :

- The idea of a "reinforced bus" (the final scene you can see a zombie tearing off a woodden barricade while the bus rides) riding on zombies seems to come directly from the final scene of Zack Snyder's "Dawn of the Dead 2004", where the group of survivors uses reinforced vans to escape from the besieged shopping mall.

Now that is some good reference ! :-)

- Also, the fact I saw that zombie tearing off the barricade leads me to think that there will be a part of the game where you will be in the bus while "something or someone" drives it and you will have to counter zombie attacks while moving on the road.

My theory ?

I don't remember WHO said it before me, but I agree with his idea : I guess the developers have made bigger maps like they promised us and that the bus will serve the player to travel from one part of the map to another.

After all, the developpers announced a "zombie mode as you've never seen it before" and said it would be "much bigger than the precedent ones".

Probably the map is divided into "sections" or "levels" (I am no game developer, so I don't know exactly how to call it).
