inviso120 Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 GERMAN - what zombies revolves around lets start with nacht nacht der untoten - night of the undead vurkut - just a place shi no numa - place die rise - the giant kino der toten - cinema of the dead ascension - a name call of dead - name moon -name same for great leap forward and green run but there is a part that i found DIE in german means The Rise but the english is die rise so it could mean to rise as in zombies or to fall as your team :mrgreen:
83457 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 By verkut, i assume you meant 'zombie verruckt' (in bo it was just verruckt) verruckt means crazy or insane and there is an umlat over the U. I thought Die Rise was German for the rise. It is, but after hearing Treyfail discuss it, I see that it is Die Rise in English, a play on high rise (sometimes writ hi rise) which was another term for skyscraper.
MixMasterNut Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 It's definitely a play on words in multiple ways. I agree that "die" can mean "the", paying homage to the storyline that started in Germany with Der Riese. So with the translation for "Die" we end up with "The Rise", which makes sense because the map takes place in a high-rise building. Die Rise can also be a play on words for "the dead are rising" - Mix
inviso120 Posted February 5, 2013 Author Posted February 5, 2013 I feel that it is a trick from treyarch to mean they may end it or this maybe the start or it all :ugeek: :ugeek: :ugeek:
deathb4di2h0nor Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 This is completely incorrect. How can Der Reise mean "The Giant" if "Die Rise" is The Rise? I never have been one for studying German but anyone can see the difference.
MixMasterNut Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 This is completely incorrect. How can Der Reise mean "The Giant" if "Die Rise" is The Rise? I never have been one for studying German but anyone can see the difference. "Der", "Die", and "Das" all mean "The" in German. In German language, "The" has three different gender beings. Der - Masculine Die - Feminine Das - Nuetral Each word in the German language uses one of the three articles der, die, or das. Now that you've learned the first thing about German language, you'll see that is completely correct - Mix
Stop Mocking Me0 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 The rise in German is der Anstieg Die rise in English is die rise... There is no German conection.. Just play on words...

Just saying.
Megaton A Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 The rise in German is der Anstieg Die rise in English is die rise... There is no German conection.. Just play on words... Exactly. Somehow 10 minutes after the map was announced, everyone was claiming "Die Rise is German for The Rise!!!" and it spread like wildfire. But that only makes sense if you're taking the title as being half German and half English, and there's no reason at all to think you would do that, nor is there anything indicating you should do that. Yes, there have been Zombies maps in the past that had German titles. These all took place in Germany. Die Rise takes place in China. Why would anyone think half the title is German? It's English, and a play on the term "High Rise". I'm sure that they were aware that "Die Rise" and "Der Riese" are similar names, but the connections to German end there. Also, "Shi No Numa" doesn't mean "A place"... it's Japanese (the map takes place in Japan) and translates to "Swamp of Death", if I'm not mistaken. I think it's safe to say Treyarch decided to abandon the foreign-language map titles with Black Ops (Kino was originally planned as W@W DLC). Ascension takes place in Russia, and Call of the Dead in Siberia (which would have been in Russian), but both had English titles. We won't even get into where Shangri-La takes place...

Megaton A Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 @ Stop Mocking me0 and Megaton A I'm just gonna put this here: http://translate.google.com/#auto/en/die%20rise You're completely misunderstanding how Google Translate works. Put in "Die Hard" and tell it to translate from German to English and it will say "The Hard". If the word is not German, the translation just keeps that word the same. So no, that does not "prove" that "Die Rise" means "The Rise" in German. Or, to further illustrate my point; http://translate.google.com/#de/en/call%20of%20duty Does that mean "Call of Duty" is a German phrase? I mean, Google Translate just translated it from German to English, so it must be! http://translate.google.com/#de/en/Die% ... %20zombies Wow, "Die stupid zombies" is German for "The stupid zombies"!! Except it isn't at all. Now, I'm just gonna put this here; http://translate.google.com/#en/de/The%20rise
mrverse Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 This reminds me of when Syndicate said he knew for a fact CALL OF THE DEAD would be called SOMEGERMANSHITEHEPULLEDOUTHISBUMHOLE We all know how that one ended up. Its called DIE RISE. Thats the end of the story right there.
joshbarratt Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I agree with you, I think someone simply did exactly that as soon as Die Rise came out because it was similar to Der Reise and everyone jumped on the bandwagon.
