Treyarch already using old textures? Or something more...

[RedDeadRiot]

Today while playing Shangri-La I ran into this sign

Look familiar?

(Credit to MixMasterNut for finding this before me )

Does this mean whoever put the signs here put em in both locations? Does it mean nothing other than Treyarch is a tad lazy and they have more important things to worry about than making new Zombies warning signs?

Discuss!

I have mentioned the bottom of this in here viewtopic.php?f=100&t=24174

And the other half is in there also by someone else

Since they showed us that sign in the teaser I will go ahead and say that it is there for a reason.

I'm trying to open this up for discussion though, i'll give credit to him in the post for finding it first.

I found the preview trailer one first.

I'm sure it's there for a connectivity aspect rather than just laziness.

Get back on topic,please.

^^ Fine, I don't think treyarch is being lazy and using old textures, Everything has a reason and this may be "Firing range" If I am correct that this sign is also in there

[bbobs2]

I do know what Lenne is saying about it being shown in the trailer means it was shown for a reason (and I'm always on about mechanics and items being there for a reason!) but I'm just not 100% sure about this having much relevance. The sign doesn't seem to have any ware like the Shangri-La one doesso I don't think this has any relevance to Shangri-La unless this area develops into Shangri-La (so Shangri-La would be further forward in time than anticipated).

It could be that Treyarch were being lazy with the textures or it could be a hint at others being there. It could be a hint to characters we know being there OR as crazy said it could be from another map, I have a feeling Jungle had a sign like this, I was always walking past it to walk into those land mines :D

[oBearz]

Lots of developers reuse the same textures. So i think they are reusing it because it fits in with the atmosphere. The only relevance that i think it has is to show that the area is under quarantine or something of that matter, but other than that it might not mean anything.

I could be wrong so don't judge.

I noticed in the trailer there seemed to be a lot more and improved textures. I like how it looks...

Ditto, i love that they're at least making an effort to not use the exact same textures.

@Crazy skills didn't see anything that looks relatively like those signs on firing range...

[this.is.how.to.do.it]

Could this be a link to Shangri La mountains? I have no idea how, but the devs made a big deal about that and I always wondered what these signs were for on Shangri La.

Im going to say its just devs being devs. Recycled/touched up reused textures are common in series games. Its to save time to work on key game mechanics and more important things. MW3 reuse models from CoD4, MW2, and even Black Ops. Think about it like this; create a completly new model every game or simply reskin it with new texture.

It possible means quarantine or high toxic area. To me its nothing else then that. Since skull and cross bones mean poison, so this means toxic area.

Very interesting point.. Maybe its an open map and the out of bounds areas are toxic kill areas where you slowly die when trying to leave playable area ;)

That would be awesome honestly. It would make the map feel so much more open and not so confined, which is usually a necessary somewhat-evil.

There might not be the sign I was talking about but I'm pretty sure firing range has a quarantine zone, Plus a bloody Teddy bear! oh wait I found the old thread I had that had the images viewtopic.php?f=62&t=8934&p=78907#p78907 Oh god that post, I was still learning about the forums at the time, I was such a NOOB!

You never know man... There are Richtofen books in BO Nuketown and now we have Nuketown zombies coming.... If any other MP map converts to zombies, it has to be firing range or stadium.

[SirPlasticDucky]

Its probably nothing but worth a little look into it

[Humble Soldier]

Ok so possible zombie mape locations

The map- new jersey streets- mode 8 player- map unkown

trailer map- old desert facility- mode campaine- map firing range

nuketown map- testing facility- original 4- nuketown

from what information that has been gathered all of this equals original fun for all

Hope this sounds correct for everyone :D

[Stop Mocking Me0]

I'm my opinion you don't fix something that isn't broken, in this case, if you already have a working texture, don't spend money on making a new one.... Its likely not going to mean much more then that...
