#backinblack Teaser Trailer

[WillyWonka]

I actually think the phrase "The numbers, Mason. What do they mean?" has a bigger meaning in this trailer than just a "flashback" to the first Black Ops. Obviously the numbers in the trailer has some sort of importance.

Ok, so, I noticed a couple of things after watching that "Back in Black" trailer a couple of times. Here we go: (If I find anything else significant, I'll post it here)

1) Egypt (30.0500 N, 31.2333 E)

Coordinates in video: http://i.imgur.com/69hB3aV.png - The coords are near the 115 numbers...

Map location: http://i.imgur.com/sXtJHgp.png

Earth Map: http://i.imgur.com/7RVeAqN.png

I'm thinking that has a good possibility of being the location for the next Zombies map. Pyramids are in Zombies (Moon, Shangri-La)  and there's pyramids in Egypt. If this is the location of the next Zombies map, then the pyramids could have something to do with Group 935 (Maxis, Richtofen, etc.) Perhaps even Samantha could have some storyline involvement here?

2) Switzerland (47.3667 N, 8.5500 E)

Coordinates in video: http://i.imgur.com/PnKpwCL.png

Map location: http://i.imgur.com/JV5S3xI.png

Earth Map: http://i.imgur.com/vta72Eb.png

Leads to Zurich, Switzerland. Either the location of a campaign mission or multiplayer map by the looks of it. Also, the coordinates are on the side of the gun - this could be a hint to a particular location in which weapons are produced. Not sure though, just theorising.

EDIT:

3) Singapore (1.3000 N, 103.8000 E)

Coordinates in video: http://i.imgur.com/cGpLqJ7.png

Another possible campaign or multiplayer mission location if it hasn't already been in a Black Ops game. I think I remember a Black Ops 2 multiplayer map set in singapore, but I'll look into it.

Wow, that was disappointingly easy. Does 514 mean anything to us?

I couldn't find the exact symbols but it definitely resembles Old Persian letters or numbers.

I think perhaps the 3 is for 3 different settings, considering how diverse the snaps were.

Past, Modern, and Future, thus appealing to all Cod Fans. 

Just imagine how diverse the MP would be, some maps are past, and you can have classes for the past maps, some are modern, so there are modern weapons, and then futuristic, which perhaps could have something to do with the bio-modification articles, or exos!

 

 

Excellent post, man. I hoped Black Ops 2 would do something like this. Any guesses on what you think we'd see? My guesses: 

 

 

Past: 

        Option 1: We play the JFK assassination. It's almost certain that Mason killed, or was at least involved in the event.

        Option 2: The Second Cold War/Op: Charybdis. The 5 year gap (roughly) where Mason re-enlisted for an unknown reason

 

 

Present: 

            Only Option I can see: 9/11 and the war on terror. At the time the planes hit, David Mason was 22. This can be why he enlisted. He could eventually end up in SEAL Team 6, and his action's during the raid on Osama's compound can be how he was a SEAL leader in Black Ops 2.

 

 

Future:

           Option 1: Occurs if Menendez is killed, and the message that plays after his death sparks a rebirth of Cordis Die.

           Option 2: The far future. Human augmentation and advanced technology has led to a complete change in society. Could lead to questions regarding the danger of where humanity is at, or this technology could be taken away, causing the future society to collapse or adapt.

The Past: That Helicopter

 

Present: The Bullpup on the Der Riese wall

 

Future "New Exos"

 

Maybe....maybe

​Well, i found some cuneiform that looks like those symbols, made a video about it.

Also, anyone remembers the BO2 Zombies Origins Easter Egg, where you had to put those cuneiform in line? They looked different, but this proofs that Treyarch used kind of this cuneiform before.

​Well, in fact it is the number 54. That's how their numeric system works.

And if you wondered what that Chinese number 54 in the Black Ops 3 Teaser trailer could mean : No death ?

​Interesting theory, but aren't the numbers Japanese not Chinese...?

​I googled and compared the two systems, and they seem pretty much identical to my eyes. I'm far from any expert though.

My guess is that they are chinese, in that case "no death" would be pretty interesting actually. Referring to the undead, zombies?

When I hear "no death", I immediately think of Alex Mason surviving the incident in Black Ops 2, or even Resnov. That's just me, though...

Great catch, by the way!
