Moaning in Stuhlingers Head?

[kevrunb]

Wow, Die Rise is one hell of a map but I have come to present this post because I was recently playing Die Rise with a couple of my friends and I was playing as the character Stuhlinger. Now as I progressed through the round I stared to hear moaning, I thought it was a zombie until I realized It kept happening. As the rounds passed it sounded like the moans became more recent and painful to the victim. I derped out and forgot to ask my friends if they heard it as well. I'm not to sure what this possibly could be but I think I have a reasonable theory. Possibly, just possibly this moaning is Richtofen, I believe that Richtofen can no longer handle the power of the Ether and it is overpowering him. This is just my theory so no hate, please give me feedback on what you guys think it is.

Another post mentioned subtle Ric moaning if he listened carefully.

Maybe only stu can hear it? The other poster didn't mention what character they were when they heard it.

I don't know what to make of it yet but I'm glad someone has made a topic on it though

[Kwasa]

Spiderbite of NGTzombies said he could hear the constant voice of whoever it is in the beginning of the intro, which is likely Richtofen.

Edit: Also he was Samuel.

[Darkrai273]

Yeah, it kept happening ever so often with me, and it does only happen with Samuel. It gets annoying and you can't really understand anything, I assume it's Richtofen.

Something is seriously wrong with Richtofen, he talks less, he groans and mumbles. I think it might have something to do with him teleporting the characters halfway across the globe. The Richtofen side of the Die Rise easter egg might have to do with recharging him per say.

[MixMasterNut]

I heard a sound that I thought resembled Samantha whimpering

[fryingpan57]

You might have heard the new radio transmissions which have a sobbing woman in them.

[MysteryMachineX]

Yeah, it's Richtofen. And only Samuel can hear him. But... why... what's wrong. At first, I thought he might only do it if you helped Maxis in Green Run, but turns out not to be so.

[fryingpan57]

Look at it this way. He has teleported the group to CHINA from AMERICA, this no doubt takes a lot 115 energy. On top of all that he differs from Samantha in so many ways. First off, Samantha was a little girl who had time to get used to controlling the zombies, Richtofen was shoved into the MPD very suddenly and he is grown man. Second off, Samantha was using small concentrated groups of zombies, Richtofen on the other hand if controlling a global, multinational outbreak. Richtofen is also doing something Samantha never did, which is getting into the minds of people. On top of this, if the opening cenematic is telling us the characters are on constant repeat, Richtofen is constantly reviving people. Overall who knows how long it's been since Richtofen's last 115 charge up. He has to be getting tired.

A lot of people are saying it's Richtofen. At first I thought it was, now, I'm not so sure.

Why does he sound like that, yet when people pick up drops or activate easter egg steps he sounds normal?

In the first easter egg step Richtofen mentions finding souls before Maxis gets his hands on them, I personally believe that these moans and groans are "the voices" of those souls, and this would lead you to the next step.

It's also because the moans can only be heard at some points in the map, it isn't constant, and some places are much louder than others.

[fryingpan57]

I believe he has spikes of weakness where his self control is seized and his voice turns into that sound. Like Samantha and her voice going deep. It's almost the same thing, Richtofen has just been able to control it until now.

But why Samuel then? He was the only one to hear richtofen in tranzit.

I agree that he should sound hurt during pick ups and whatnot, but this could have been added later. Games aren't real congruent sometimes and Treyargh has sucked at game programming (not hating, just obvious).

[chronicsarco]

from what i could make it it sounded like he kept saying kill me over and over to me and it was near the mystery box until near the bottom of the elevator shaft u jump on all the rubble to get down. after i got to the red room with the poles n Buddhas in i couldn't hear the voice anymore

Isn't that voice the Aether demon?

MMX made a thread about how Richtofen can give and take life. If the team fails, he sends them to the past, when they haven't died. But, why does Richtofen sends the zombies to kill the N4 if he is going to revive them?

There are 2 minds in the Pyramid. Richtofen, and the demon.

Richtofen wants an Earth without humans. The demon wants to destroy the planet. How?

With the help of the N4. So, maybe Richtofen and the demon made a pact: The demon will be restarting the time until all the towers he wants are powered by the N4. For this, he needs Richtofen to send zombies so the demon gains power with the 115 and with it, start again if something fails.

I don't think it's Richtofen, I'm pretty sure the voice is the voices that Richtofen hears. The demons in his head, so to speak.

[fryingpan57]

Believe what you want, but I think it's just Richtofen with a case of the Aether sniffles.

[InfestLithium]

I've never heard such moaning like that before. If it is Richtofen, then he's really starting to get the creep factor in very well. These sound like agonizing moans almost; as if someone is being tormented. I can see why it would bother Samuel. Perhaps it's the same forces that Richtofen heard before being in control.

[takosauce21]

Is it just me or does Treyach love f*cking with the player? Ever since Verruckt, if you stop and listen, you will get creeped out. I love it but at the same time it can be really troubling, especially during those late nights with the lights out when I'm just trying to roam around and piece things together...

I'm glad you pointed that out because I was starting to think the same thing. no idea how to go about collecting them though.

[Stop Mocking Me0]

I know! I heard this and thought: WHAT?!?! Is that richtofen? But he sounds so... I'll.... Is... Is he ok?... :(

[TheKingOfToast]

It sounds like, in the opening cutscene, that when Ric says "Accept your fate" you can hear the groaning voice with him.

[Joeyohh9292]

It's very loud near the AN-94 open window. I even heard him say "help me" after a while of camping there.
