Awakening Official Trailer and Der Eisendrache Breakdown

[Guest]

 

 

Der Eisendrache Breakdown:

Description:

"Der Eisendrache, the first chapter of Call of Duty: Black Ops III‘s Zombies DLC adventure will take players on an epic journey with the Origins characters Richtofen, Nikolai, Takeo, and Dempsey. Set in an eerie medieval castle built upon an ancient site of unspeakable horror, massive deposits of Element 115 have recently been discovered, delivering inspired new gameplay and – in Zombies tradition – a variety of exciting plot twists and surprises that fans will have the opportunity to discover for themselves."

(Had to fix errors like Origin to Origins, Nicolai to Nikolai)

This map is said to be Episode 4 of our story, but also the first chapter of our four DLC story of 2016. This is their order, going by events:

Episode 1: Origins

Episode 2: Shadows of Evil

Episode 3: The Giant

Episode 4: Der Eisendrache

Is there any chance we will get the answers being hinted at in the trailer? I wish but get the feeling we won't get much. In a story that has time traveling, alternate dimensions, paradoxes, multiverses, aliens, ancient gods, and the possibility its all a kids game, I'd love nothing more than a couple of answers to put us back on any kind of path.

Its not a kids game, the Origins cutscene was a prequel to all of this story. Maxis' plan is all of the stuff that happened from Origins onwards.

We think. Really we have no evidence of much. The Origins Maxis could be the Tranzit-Buried Maxis who's plan was to blow up the Earth. And I agree its probably not a kids game, but BO2 does throw that in our face. In a story that's all over the place and anything is possible, I just want some idea given to us as to whats going on. Some answers would be nice to get us back on track. Trying to theorize when everything is so vague kind of sucks since its so hard to say what fits where and what's connected. Truth is that any theory is right at the moment. That's the downside of multiverse story lines.

I do enjoy this conversation fellas, but let's try to keep it on topic ;)

This trailer is freaking awesome and I'm super pumped to see what else they have in store.  We got not only gameplay information, but story information in the video!!!  This. Is. Awesome.

Rocket in the 2nd picture looks to be in a playable area!

[Lenne]

Already? 

Hell yes to new gubble gums. :3

WoW! Der Eisendrache! 

[TimelordAlex]

I saw Apothicon stand out in the trailer - Apothicon Servant, maybe confirming we can upgrade it?

It was an alphabet with symbols and English translations.  The idea (currently, at least) is that we ,arch the WW audio cues up with these symbols and learn the next step.

Yeah, I was excited to hear about the new Gobblegums. Hopefully a few more prestiges are added to the game as well with each DLC. And man, words cannot describe how weird it is to hear Mark Lamia say "First on Playstation 4".

Nice work @Nightmare Voyager

 

I've got a feeling this scene shows the Dragon (Breathe) what ever that may be in the left corner?? The explosion effect.....

 

[Guest]

Possibly but it might just be a grenade or something. It looks more like an explosion than fire breath but I am not sure.

I wish 3arc would just tweet out the first step, just to get us going

No, I think this is literally a hint. They basically did, I love the idea that they know what we want them to give us to progress EE wise.

Please no. Just... no. It already takes a long time to reach max prestige.

Eh, I'd just personally prefer to have more prestiges, so I constantly have something to work towards.

Seems to bolster the idea that the castle itself is the Iron Dragon, in my eyes.

working towards what? fuck all... you don't get anything at the end of it, i refuse to prestige.

[MixMasterNut]

Notice the FOV on this shot is distorted. 

Sort of similar to when you are in Beast mode in SoE, or eat a Hide in Plain Sight gobble gum ball.

You don't get anything for doing achievements either apart from something virtual but people still do them.

  That's fine if you feel that way, and I understand completely. But for me personally, I like leveling up and prestiging. Sure, some people find it repetitve, but I enjoy doing so.

unlocking an achievement does not take away all your gear though

You don't gain anything though. Prestiging just resets weapon kits and GobbleGums, which I have no problem with. Like in normal MP.
