MOTD storyline theory

[Dobis]

The big question people have been asking is: who controls the zombies in mob of the dead? We know it couldn't be Richtofen because one, that was before he gained control, and two, his zombies have blue eyes

I believe that samantha is controlling these xombies. The red eyes could represent the elevated anger samantha has against the mobsters.

So heres what I think: since we know that maxis and samantha had travled through time, samantha traveled back to avenge the mobsters in 1933. but why them? i believe it is because of maxis' wish for him to be avenged. we know sal, finn, billy, and weasel were part of a mob, which could have dealt with or been the early group 935.

this would tie into the zombies story if these charaters were the early 935, giving them forehand knowledge of the very first zombies.

i am kindof a noob to zombies but have a basic grasp of the story. any thoughts or corrections would be appreciated

Welcome to the community, friendo!

The storyline is extremely intriguing and confusing at the same time. For Mob of the Dead, it does not get any clearer; in fact, it just tangles things up much more! We have discovered that Richtofen nor Samantha are in control of the zombies during this time period. I'd suggest you take a good look at MMX's thread to learn everything about Mob of the Dead:

Happy reading! :)

Thanks Infest. Like he said, Samantha's zombies have yellow eyes. Richtofen's are blue. But these guys are something else entirely: red.

Personally, I believe this map is hell, and that these four died back in 1933, the time of the map... But the map takes place after the events of die rise... Heres how:

Al and co are in prison, try to escape, and just like in the recording, al gets murdered on the roof and the three others get the eletric chair...

While Bill, Sal, and Finn are in hell for specific sins: Murder, adultry, and Lie, swindeling isn't a specific sin! Arlington isnt pure enough to Assend, but isn't wrong enough to fall... So he gets sent to limbo/purgatory... Satin sees this and decides to play a little game to bring Arlington to his level...

Using whatever it is he uses, satin then tricks Arlington into thinking he's in Alcatraz, new years eve, 1933 again... This leads us to the cut scene, which starts off in limbo: The three evil mobsters, who are condemned to hell either way, trick Arlington to breaking his sentence, killing "Furgison" and thus, he falls into hell the SECOND he commits murder... And zombies come forth over and over...

Now, for about 100 years or so, the three mobsters keep re-living the same day over and over, each time zombies are brand-new to them... They NEVER get the clue that more then a day has passed.... But Arlington, who caused the ultimate evil so much trouble, is left with the pain of knowing... Remembering every day sense the cycle began...

Satanic influence is seen all over the map: The religious wardin, the 3dog heads which are a nod to dantai's layers of hello in which the lowest level is a frigid layer where a 3 headed dog-thing feasts on three of the most horrible souls known to man at that time... One of which was named Brutus... , there's also the hell's tomahawk, zombie eyes, and PAP camo that further identify satin's in charge here....

Now, this cycle continued strait on from 1933-present day... Then... Suddenly something happened... Maybe something richtofen did... A side effect of the rift... Or purhaps god took pity on the pleading Arlington... But four new perks and a strange Pack-a-punch machine appeared in the accessible area arround the prison... The only perk the crew had going for them was eletric cherry, which is a perk that can only be found in hell (or through wonder-fizz transdimintional pull)...

With their new-found strength, the crew actually manages to travel between the bridge and back 3 times (may or may not have something to do with holy trintity), where they gain access to the TRUTH about their wherabouts for the last 100 years....

By returning his soul to the bridge, Arlington cleanses his soul of the evil he had, rejecting him from the eyes of the devil... which is why zombies don't attack you...

In most cases, the three evil mobsters take down Arlington and the cycle continues with Arlington waking up saying: Oh no, oh no, oh what's happening?!....

But on the LAST attempt, Arlington actually achieves freedom, and ascends to a better place, leaving bill sal and finn to continue living the same day over and over, but having the bliss of still not knowing that the have been doing it...

In one case,
