Research & Development
For those who wish to talk and discuss, or speculate, their ideas for upcoming Zombies maps.
CoDz Code of Conduct
Listed below is the Code of Conduct.
Please don't just read numbered points and say "I'd never advertise!" and skip over it, because there are things you may not realize are categorized as advertising, or anything else, that are and you might have already broken them. If you have any questions regarding this, please ask, and have a good time and be sure to follow the rules!
1. ADVERTISING [ADV]:
Rule: Advertising to other users inside the CoDz Forum, whether it be via a post, personal message, or profile/signature links, to buy or view any products, websites, or other service is strictly prohibited. Non-intrusive links in signatures to personal YouTube accounts may be allowed, but that is case-to-case and each will be reviewed individually.
Consequence: The infringing user’s account will be banned, as well as the IP address. Any post with the intentions of advertising will be immediately and permanently deleted.
Example: If you are a spam bot, a hired advertiser, or a desperate website/business owner, this may apply to you. Signing up and making your only post a promotion for your zombie gameplay YouTube channel is breaking the rule. However simply sending links to a fellow forum goer who wants to know where to buy a capture card is not breaking this rule, PMing your buddy a link to a funny YouTube video isn't, etc.
2. DOUBLE ACCOUNTS [DBLE]:
Rule: Creating another account when a a user already has one account on CoDz is not allowed. There is little to no need for a separate account. If you've forgotten your password and need access back to your main account, use the Forgot Password link. Should there be a logical reason outside of forgetting credentials for the double account, contact a staff member immediately with details of the situation..
Consequence: The secondary account created by the original user will be permanently banned given with evidence of double accounts. In addition, the original account held by the user will be temporarily banned as well. Using the secondary account to avoid a suspension/ban on the main account will result in both accounts being permanently banned.
Example: A user creates a double account because they've been banned. If that account matches up the original user and no case has been made to the staff about the reason for the double account, both accounts will be banned after contacting the user.
3. SPAMMING [SPAM]: Spamming is defined as many things, and all of them aren’t allowed. As a CoDz user, you should hold yourself to a high standard and use common sense when posting.
Duplicate Posts -
Rule: Creating a thread that discusses a topic that has already been brought up in another thread is generally frowned upon, as each user is responsible for finding the pre-existing thread and making their remarks there. Cross-posting violations (making more than one post of the same question/answer across multiple forums) is prohibited.
Consequence: The infringing duplicate thread will be either merged (with the original thread), locked, or deleted, depending on the situation. When dealing with two duplicate threads, the staff will sometimes exercise their own personal judgement with regard to the thread’s posts, to avoid conversations being broken up and posts losing their cohesion, as all the comments in both threads are merged and arranged by the date they were posted.
Cross-posting violations will be dealt with by deleting all cross-posted threads. Users are responsible for figuring out the appropriate section in which to post their topic. If you have any trouble you may ask any staff member for advice!
We always welcome PMs from the users!
Example: If two threads are created that both discuss the exact same element of a newly released Zombie Map trailer, they become ‘duplicate posts’, as they consist of identical, or very similar, material. However, if someone makes a thread about, for example, who they think the Pentagon Thief is, and then someone else makes a thread in which they argue that it is actually someone completely different, they would not be breaking the rule.
Moreover, if someone made a thread that came to the same conclusion as the first user’s thread did, it still wouldn’t necessarily break the rule, as long as they brought new evidence to the table (or reevaluated old evidence) while doing so. If they reach the same conclusion, then they will be merged, in which case the older thread will remain, and the newer thread will become a reply to the older post.
Post Pumping -
Rule: Any user that makes a post just to increase their own post count is considered disruptive to the community, and is interfering with the other members’ usage of the CoDz forum.
Consequence: Violations will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis - some users will be warned verbally by PM, others may receive an official warning, and posts/threads may also be deleted (which will make your post count drop again!). Repeat offenders will suffer a Permanent Ban of their account on the forum.
Example: If a user makes a post saying “I agree,” or “We know,” or something similar and they do not further the conversation or productivity of the thread, that would be grounds for deletion of the post. The specific details of post pumping are left for staff to decide case-by-case, as there are a broad range of possibilities, which are quite dependent on the circumstances.
4. FLAMING [FLAME]:
Rule: Posts, signatures, avatars, or PMs that are intended to harass, threaten, embarrass or cause the distress or discomfort to another member of the CoDz Forum Community or any other individual or entity is unacceptable. (For this reason, the emoticon known as “facepalm” has been removed from the forum.)
Consequence: In some cases, warnings may be issued, but flaming is likely to result in Permanent Banning. It is therefore advisable to always be respectful to your fellow members; this does not mean you cannot disagree with someone, but you do not need to tear a person down in order to prove your point, so be careful with sarcasm! The response “I was only joking” will not get you much sympathy.
Example: If a user says to another on the forum that they are stupid, dumb, illogical, incompetent, etc., that is an example of a user tearing another down, and is considered to be ‘flaming’. Even sarcastically saying “Wow, you’re a bright one, aren’t you..” or “Did you figure that out on your own?” would qualify as a form of harassment.
5. OFFENSIVE CONTENT [OFF]:
Rule: Using offensive language in any context is not allowed here at the CoDz Forum. We believe that our intelligent members can make their points and offer their contributions WITHOUT the necessity of vulgarities. Included in this would be racism, sexism, or any other form of discrimination that may end up causing the distress or discomfort of a user or any group in general. Along with offensive language, displaying or linking to offensive content is not allowed at CoDz. Please be sensitive towards others and how they may react to sensitive material.
Consequence: Posts, signatures, or profiles containing offensive language, content, or links will be edited and/or deleted by the Forum Moderators and Warnings will be issued as appropriate. Repeat violations of this policy may result in more severe actions, up to and including Permanent Banning.
Example: You can come up with your own examples for sensitive language, I trust we all have at least a few in our heads, but simply starring out a letter or putting a strike through the word does not excuse its usage, such as f*ck, sh*t, etc. An example of offensive content could be an avatar of the Twin Towers falling with the caption “Burn baby burn!” This is very offensive to many people, and although it may not be so to you, please respect the feelings of other users.
Examples of offensive links include Pornographic, Racial, Defamation, or any other derogatory content. If it does not pass our CoC do not link to it on our site.
6. SIGNATURES [SIG]:
Rule: A user’s signature may only be 5 lines high, 15 pixels high per line and 65 pixels wide per line. A signature must follow all of the above guidelines concerning offensive language and material, and also concerning advertising.
Consequence: If a user creates a signature that violates the above rules, they will first be contacted and asked to change their signature. If they do not comply, someone will change it for them. Particularly horrid offenses will be dealt with by staff in an appropriate manner.
Example: A “good” signature could contain a few links to some threads (as long as they follow previous rules), zombie round numbers, a small image, or something personal, such as a saying or quote. A “bad” signature would contain any annoying “flashy” .GIFs, or any content that would not comply with previous CoC rules.

Hello, all. I've spent a lot of time over the past couple of months working on a new timeline which I planned to use for another project, but that may not come through. But this could be a very valuable resource to some people, so I am sharing it today. This is a timeline that compiles all Aether media including trailers, cutscenes, the timeline, ciphers, documents, etc. into a massive timeline where everything is arranged similarly to the Treyarch-released timeline. I think I have everything here in regards to media, but I could be wrong, and please let me know if there is something I left out. I included like two pictures in there, but would be open to addin…

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EtGWoRLpXmx7Y28OcJB7j6TPJVMIONCF02_T_6ROpoU/edit?usp=sharing I wanted to create an updated timeline which includes the background events of Classified and Alpha Omega as well as Campaign events and real life events that would pertain to our storyline. The above link is what I have so far. I will eventually go on to add the events of the Broken Cycle, probably after the final DLC so we can have a full sequence of events. As of right now, tell me if I'm missing anything, because I would love to add as much clear info as possible to put things into a more linear perspective. I tried my best to only include events th…

Making this post as a repository for all notable resource libraries for the zombies storyline. This list will hopefully keep growing, and feel free to suggest more resources, old and new, to add to the list. Hoping this will consolidate all these resources in one easy to find place to allow for better research. Black Ops: Cold War-related Dark Aether Timeline: [LINK] - Description: Created by @DescentIntoDarkness, a timeline that will chronicle events of Cold War's campaign, multiplayer, and zombies, as well as outside work that ties into this new universe.

A lot of people have been speculating over what and where the new zombie map will be only by judging a few screenshots and a picture.. What I found interesting was the actual meaning of revolution, this is the meaning I found for it; "A forcible overthrow of a government or social order for a new system." This leads me to believe that there will be a big change that occurs in this dlc either by one of the charectors dying or that someone else will get in control of the zombies and there will be a "new system" Thanks for reading, I'd like to hear what you guys think on my theories or what you think a revolution in zombies will mean. :)

So first off, I have to explain WHY the MDT is capable of time travel. Why it exceeded it's intended use, and why Edward 'didn't expect it'. Let's explain it this way. We all know the first three dimensions. Length, Height, and Depth. Those are spacial dimensions. Then we have time as the fourth dimension. They weave together and form Space-Time. The single WORST aspect of LITERALLY every time travel movie and book is such a glaring hole that it amazes me that no one has picked up on it, or at least explored it. Zombies is no exception. Time travel in media SOLELY focuses on travel through time. It ignores the spacial dimensions completely. It ignores the PRI…

Hello everyone!!! A few minutes ago 'Treyarch Studios' sent out a vine video on their twitter page, here it is: Twitter Status: https://twitter.com/Treyarch/statuses/3 ... 9406828548 Direct Video Link (I couldn't seem to play the vine video on the website so here is the direct video link): https://mtc.cdn.vine.co/r/videos/F2E235 ... ONNPtfSWIB Vine Link: https://vine.co/v/hbF5W35QvBx So, what do you all think? Is this a hint of what's to come... or what was before? :shock:

The Editor, A friend of mine and myself made a Zombies map idea. When we were discussing it, we both decided that I would provide some story elements to his discussion, with his own story elements in it as well. Meaning, I don't agree on everything he says in the video- especially the Orgones part. But it really did turn out to be a good map idea. Fairly simple actually if you think about it. It was made last year and didn't come around to thinking of sharing it with you guys until this morning. This idea takes place in year 2459, humanity is nearing extinction with the dead stalking their nights. Some people are set to the Cocoons; blocking off their knowledge of wh…

This is a page dedicated to finding the rest of the easter eggs that we have missed. Please leave a comment and or a video link to your research. I'm super curious and I hope some of you out there are also as well. I am currently re-looking over COD: Black Ops* to see if there is anything at all that we could have possibly missed. Please help me out! * Games will change as I progress through all of the maps until I feel satisfied with my research.

Der Wonderfizz It's a mysterious perk machine able to pull a perk into existence, presumably from another world, even worlds outside the current map you're on. And, YOU my good sir or madam, are Dr. Monty's LATEST scientist on hire. Your job? Create your own perk machines for all to enjoy. Essentially, this is a thread for any perk ideas you may want to implement, create, or discuss, similar to the "WONDERful Wonder Weapon Discussion Thread" (which you shouldn't confuse with this thread) Perk Suggestions: Please fill out the fallowing file for every perk you wish to purpose to the…

ZOMBIE FEILD is like Green Run (or something close), there's a bus that takes you to different places in Tranzit mode. There are five small maps that the bus can take you to, also separate maps for other modes: -Forest -White House -Mall -Volcano -Tunguska These small maps are connected by the Tranzit road. So that means Zombie Feild would have to be somewhere in North East of America. The Easter egg would be complicated because I haven't thought of the other maps in terms of traps or designs. But all this is Tranzit. Survival again has separate maps to play. Every map has a box, a perk, and a Pack-a-Punch. However, you can only find this perk on Forest, …

In every World at War, Black Ops 1, and Black Ops 2 Map what was "the first priority"? POWER....Electricity to power the perk machines, pack a punch, the map. The towers have been present since World at War. Go Play Natch go to the very far window in the box room....what do you see a tower. Shi No Numa there is a tower outside....TranZit there is a tower.....Die Rise a tower....GG Bridge I consider a tower. All of Black Ops 2 the new perks have been related to resurrection. Who's Who, Tombstone. Then afterlife in MoTD. But I have a theory to what the outcomes of both Richtofen and Maxis's final EE in Map Pack 4 will be. Maxis: You indeed resurrect Dr. Maxis! That he is no…

Ok this is a really general idea, but an idea nonetheless that occurred to me as highly possible. Treyarch are definitely receiving a lot of pressure from fans to bring back the original four. Another thing that might be providing some kind of pressure from fans is the redundancy of the Easter eggs in black ops 2 so far. We can assume that there are 3 towers to power up. (trichotomous obtuse scalene anyone?) and so far Easter-egg-wise that is all we've been doing. Do we REALLY want to do the same old easter egg on the next map too? I sure don't. And here is my modest proposal. I say let's kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Firstly, this idea revolves around the id…

This started as an idea that I tossed out in passing, but the more I think about it the more it seems to make sense. Anyway, this would most likely pertain to the 3rd or 4th DLC, as the third and final spire will most likely be completed in the next one. Firstly, I'm adopting the name of this thread from Portal, so read up if you don't get it. The name is REALLY important for the theory. Let's consider this possibility: maxis is powering up spires in order to generate enough energy (like richtofen did with the Vril device) to perform a MPD soul-swap. As you know this required the power of over one hundred souls and several unique artifacts, which …

Started browsing the forum in... '09, I think? Been a while. Over the years, I've seen CoDz thrive -- and I've seen it decay. This declination in quality came directly from Treyarch -- and started with the release of Ascension (early 2011). Overly grandiose easter eggs are not what lured me in - I liked the small stuff. So did the rest of the adult community. When the focus shifted from small hints (radios, notes) to story quests of large proportions, the adult community started tuning out -- and the kiddies arrived. CoDz used to be centered around analyzing radios/images/codes, and that's what built up an adult community. That's what kept the site active from De…

perk 1:NUKEOZADE Cost: 2500 Drink Colour: glowing pink Symbol: A man standing with a nuke going off behind him Icon colour: dark blue Ability 1: when a player is one hit away from dying they will let off a mini explosion similar to a phd flopper explosion.(but no way near as powerful) Ability 2:It gives the player one extra slot for lethal and special grenades and gives the player an extra claymore slot. It also gives all explosive equipment the player has extra damage. Ability 3: It makes the player more immune to environmental effects such as lava,fall damage etc. Ability 4:They player can see zombies through thin walls similar to turned. …

Now what if in the third DLC, Richoften and Maxis finally make an appearance in physical form? Like Richtofen teleports down to Earth (to visit the New 4) and Maxis suggests that GR4 come to him. And it'll be another decision whether you go see Maxis and plan against RF, or you let RF come to you and you hunt down Maxis. And if you kill Maxis, Sam's finds a way to become back into control after turning on the other three, and Ricthofen gets zapped back up to Moon. Where then she goes on a rampage after hearing that her father is dead, only to send zombies at the O4 and the GR4 for killing her father. So it would be almost like the campagin mission in BO1 where you go from…

Does anyone have any idea when Treyarch will release any information at all regarding the next DLC? I can't find anything about the release dates of the posters for Die Rise or MotD, so I was hoping someone knows around when they came out. A month? A week? Are we going to get another replacers commercial? Any ideas or thoughts?

I know people want old maps back but still you can just put in a disc and play them all (black ops) wink wink but still ill rather have one great map and no old maps but instead a map creator and down loader think about people can recreate maps make maps use the o4 or n4 build weapons make machinery. Wouldn't that be awesome it would be like a infinite maps all in one. Don't know about you but I would love that and I know that the pc version of was you can make maps but what about making them on a console like the far cry 3 map editor then you can also make multiplayer maps too maybe.

The basis of most threads and theories are mostly made by 1 person, with sometimes the help of some others that will be given credit. In the comments there mostly exists a discussion with as result sometimes the change of that theory. The idea of this topic is to make a thread, with many members of this awesome site. We don't give anyone credit, but the idea behind it is that we made this together, with discussions in the thread itself. I chose as topic the in DLC 3 reappeared scientiest: Gersch. It is still a big mystery what exacly happened in Ascension and how he came in Stalingrad and what happened with him after SOPHIA captured him. So edit as much as you like. I alr…

I just had a quick suggestion for the Zombie storyline. BE warned, this is a conglomeration of a couple of posts I made on the official COD forums, they are old. Sorry for any confusion! I really hope this is the section that Treyarch reads for suggestions I was wondering if thet could add a new playable character to the zombie storyline. The whole Nazi Occultist aspect of the story has a whole “Indiana Jones” feel to it and I was wondering if you could add an archeologist/historian character to the story. BUT, this is not simply for fan boy purposes, I have legitimates reasons: 1. It’s a perfect homage- The entire zombie storyline revolves around Nazi Occu…
