The search for Pre Alpha Zombies

[Ducky Shocks Of Nixes]

NOTE: I have posted this at the wrong Topic, so Adimns, if you’re reading this, please removed the Cold War topic I may have accidentally posted by accident.
 

I’m alive! Okay, since I’ve been of the radar, I have stumbled across some pre alpha zombies from BO3 and some BO2 Pre Alpha Stuff related to Zombies. I’ll keep editing this thread when I have time.

 

I’ll start with the BO2 Stuff, someone by the name of Cashmint managed to get a hold these Pre Alpha Transit stuff (these are not gameplay screenshots but something he found in the BO2 pre alpha builds).
 

There is a screenshot load of Shadows of Evil and Buried stuff so here’s an Imgur link

Alright with the Imgur link, some Buried In-Dev stuff that’s the map was in it’s Dev Stage

 

 

Next, the Clear Tranzit Pre Moon map selection with some tidbits of Farm and the menu of the online and a BO4 Dev Screenshot? Oh and a Verrukt Concept.

This one is for BO3, but there’s more BO3 Pre Aloha Zombies Screenshots in the way btw. Starting with Shadows of Evil!

Excellent work collecting all of these images! Very interesting to see the design philosophy.

More BO3 Zombies Pre Alpha stuff! Includes early GobbleGums, Few ‘Giant’ Screenshots, and some Shadows of Evil. Oh and a Cold War Bonus of Die Mashine Dark Aether.

Thanks! It’s rare to see this kind of screenshots since they’re in Discord Servers and sometimes hidden by those certain users getting a hold from them from others who has those builds in BO3‘s case. BO2 on the other hand is harder since most of the Builds those guys told me doesn’t have Zombies in it sadly as it’s mostly Mulitplayer. But I hope an BO2 pre alpha Zombies build is found one day.

Woah, I wasn't expecting a Hi-Rez screenshot of this. Though, are still more Pre-Alpha Tranzit left to find?

I'm not really sure about it, but i hope there will be more stuff found. Also, here is a screenshot of a very very early version of die rise

Also, here is some early origins, and some network tests they were doing

This Die Rise is very early, but I assume there would've been more buildings to say the least. But was it intended to be in a different place or in China as suggested when it was mapped out ahead?

Couldn't find any info on that

Interesting you mention this. I recall that somewhere in the past, someone made the rumour that Die Rise was originally intended to take place in Russia. I've never been able to retrieve this statement, neither on CoDZ Forum nor on its Discord server. Rumour could be untrue of course, but I'm certain someone once mentioned it.

 

In the Die Rise quotes, there is an unused Stuhlinger quote referring to Russia:

 

"Ah, Russia" - gripe_russia_d_0

 

Just that. But it is interesting since it is unused, may support the rumour. When looking at the inspirational photo at the bottom right of the Die Rise early version, do you have any idea what/where this is? Reminds me a bit of the Moscow metro, although that wouldnt make sense in a skyscraper map. 

 

There is also Russian writing on some bio tanks found in Die Rise, although the writing is reused from Ascension and can also be found in Tranzit, so I suppose it doesn't necessarily confirm that Die Rise was originally in a Russian city.

 

And lastly, if the rumour would be true, what made the developers to change it to China?

There's more early Die Rise stuff the guys from the shadows obtained with early design docs.

Also, here's a very very early Tranzit map layout after BO1's release if told.

Seeing this makes me think there is some kind of meta commentary going on in the scrap papers from SoE / TG then.
Or am I imaging things?
