Good points. I'd say remember the comic book aspect. The Shang loading screen depicts Shangri-la at one point when a storm is happening. We even see the temple being thrown into the air. Then, it shows that temple in space, then on the Moon, etc. And for all we know, these both happened recently. Remember the radios on Moon depict Richtofen's first arrival at the MPD. So this could have happened just before he came for all we know. And Shangri-la is showing what caused this temple to land on the moon in the first place. Think of it like Fight Club(I know I broke the first two rules). Until the end of the movie, you don't understand what is going on at the beginning. Then you look back and say "Ah now I get what that was!" The same applies here. We're looking back so that we can say "Ah now I see how that got there!"

Amen Nick.

But what I'm saying is that the loading screens are what is happening when the characters are there. I'm saying that the loading screens are telling you information about these maps that happen long before we arrive at them. For instance, a huge storm hits Shangri-la and the temple is thrown into the air. Meanwhile, the storm has thrown this temple into space and it floats and lands at Moon. THEN Richtofen arrives sometime later and discovers it. You can see that originally there are astronauts around the temple at first exploring it it seems. Only after that frame do the excavators come into play. It would seem the excavators were brought to dig out and destroy the temple that originally inhabited that area.

What I'd we don't have toes... :(

My explanation would be that for some reason the bridge's construction was halted. It's tough and I wish I had a better answer for you, but that's all I can think of. I'm sure if I thought about it for a while, I could make something up in my head as to how it works haha.

It should have been more like Infected from MW3.

I would say that Samantha's shadow is forehshadowing what would come. It also points toward our meeting with Samantha in the map. Remember that it is an extremely large shadow that goes across the surface of the moon. Seems more symbolic than anything. Richtofen was the first one to find the MPD on the Moon. That's why you can see that the temple seems to be solidly in the ground at the moon, not recently fallen. It's been there a while. I don't think so with the Maxis deal. I can't say to know things for sure about Maxis. It's still pretty vague with him communicating through electronics and such. But I don't think that's right.

So I was discussing this with some friends and we all had some pretty interesting ideas. But I didn't know how this could work. The MPD is almost alien in nature and doesn't fit anywhere within the Moon's history or environment. So I decided that the best way to look was in-game. I soon realized that playing Moon was not the best answer because there are no answers, only questions. So I turned to loading screens and what popped into my head was...interesting... Tell me what you think. So here we have our loading screens. We've all seen these before. So let's analyze a bit. In Shangri-la's loading screen, it shows a torando or some type of storm wreaking havoc on this civilization. In the process, we see one temple in particular being brought into the air. Now, moving on to Moon, we have a "Meanwhile..." A meanwhile can only mean that it's happening while this storm is occurring on Shangri-la. Which means that the temple we see floaing in Moon's loading screen is the same temple that we see being picked up in Shangri-la's loading screen. So we find that this temple floats its way through space until it crash lands on the Moon. We then see astronauts(Germans) exploring and an excavator digging. I've been many places around the world and one thing holds true...if there is a temple, there are normally, or at one point were, valuable artifacts inside. So from this point on, put on our imagination caps. This is all speculation, but I'd like to see what all of you think as well. What if the MPD was within the temple? It got carried all the way to the Moon. The MPD itself was in an area that was closed off from the outside atmosphere, which led to there still being air present in the room. So when Richtofen teleports, he's within the temple on the Moon. He notices the MPD and does his thing that is described in the radio. Well afterwards, research must be done on this MPD. So the Germans come to the Moon, as seen in the loading screen, and want to perform tests on this MPD to harness its power. But they find that the temple is just causing problems and they cannot perform adequate testing on the MPD while it is there. So they destroy it, leaving only the MPD standing so that they can perform tests. They then build Griffin Station. The loading screens seem to point toward this and the dropa stone within the Biodome also hint at this being what occurred. But I want to know what you think! So let me know!

Yes but you can't ignore that Nuketown, the MP map, occurs in 1960s. When the CIA and CDC are at Nuketown in zombies, the mushroom cloud is still there from the nuke's explosion that occurs in the MP map. And we know that the missle hits Nuketown while they are investigating this at the same time. We also know the events of Moon happen while they are there. So it has to be in the 60s, unless you want to say that the MP map Nuketown occurred in the 90s or 2000s, which I don't think is the case. Two explanations I find for the poster: 1. The devs are lazy and don't think about half of what they do. They just put stuff in to confuse people. 2. Like in MotD, the buildings could have been brought there from a time rift like the perk machines.

Shangri-la came out in early July. And for some reason, they've had Trailer Wednesday a lot with BOII.

Good job. I think there are parts that correlate and others that don't. But good job nonetheless.

Don't know if it means anything, but this tweet was deleted.

So, I don't know where to go with this. I'd love some help. From what I have found so far, I'm not sure there's actually a message here. I think it's giving us two things. 1. The Hebrew letter is telling us we will be going to the Middle East, which has also been hinted at by Peter Livingstone having Mecca as his Twitter profile picture in the past. 2. The upside down U means intersection in Math. This could mean that there will be an intersection between the T4 and the O4 in the next map. This has also been hinted at by recent tweets from David Vonder Haar asking fans about what they should do with the T4 and if the O4 should return and such. What does everyone else think?

UPDATE: We just saw how to join two sets using "Union" (and the symbol ∪). There is also "Intersection" which means "has to be in both". Think "where do they overlap?". The Intersection symbol is an upside down "U" like this: ∩ http://www.mathsisfun.com/sets/intervals.html

For those in the know on Math, isn't U something used in an upper level math course?

I haven't made any progress. I hope someone else is working as well. But the Hebrew letter did remind me of Peter Livingstone's picture of Mecca on his Twitter profile a while back. Jerusalem is a very sacred spot for Islam and Judaism. The Hebrew letter may be a hint at it. Here's a link to my thread on Mecca. viewtopic.php?f=100&t=30162&p=289727&hilit=mecca#p289727

The character in the 3rd word in the letter Nun. It's a Hebrew letter. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nun_(letter) A Google search of the upside down U character wielding no results.

Ok time to put on our thinking caps! https://twitter.com/_rez_/status/341017597988454401 Flipped right side up and flipped from backwards text to forward, this is what we get. Zf p aytohןeeoneg n htinathtegcr e i i∩dsshfihuc Now that's all I've gotten. A few things we need to solve. 1. What is the symbol in the middle of the 3rd word? 2. What is the symbol in the last word? 3. What does this mean?

At the end of the day, this is what it boils down to. We live in a culture where technology is released and it already outdated. When the new iPhone is released this Fall, it is already outdated compared to what is capable. With these expectations from fans and users, many were doomed to be disappointed with the console from the get go. People expect amazing and mind-blowing, but where else do you want them to go? A better graphics engine and more things is what I was expecting. It's the same thing the PS4 did. There's not going to be anymore "WOW" things come out because we aren't a society that is shocked by new advances in technology. We're accustomed to it. And because of this, "WOW" moments will not be happening very often. I'm not overly excited for Xbox One. I think there's a lot that could have been explained better or not done at all, but that's what we've been given so far. E3 will give us more information on PS4 and X1, especially the gaming side of X1. We'll see what happens from there. I await the day when we can wear a headband to sleep at night and wake up in our dreams in a game and it be like we're actually there. THAT would be "WOW" to me. And one day, I think we will be able to do that.

Mocking, many of those are just that...rumors. Microsoft already addressed a lot of those concerns. Kinect doesn't always have to be on. Privacy settings will stop this spying. Used games they've addressed as well, along with letting friends play games. And PS4 won't be backwards compatible either. I don't understand why people keep shoving this solely on Xbox. At the end of the day, Xbox One is far from perfect. But many people are far over exaggerating how bad it is.

Looks like someone is ready for the Pokemon War! Welcome to CoDz! I hope you enjoy your stay.

Glad to have you! Hope you enjoy your time.

Don't shoot the messenger, but there won't be Zombies in CoD 11. That's right. Why you ask? Sledgehammer Games in making a new Call of Duty. I think they may start doing 3 year cycles for developers, which would be good. It gives them way more time to make great things.

Very possible Scoldron. I'll have to think about it some more. Thanks for all the great responses guys!

I think the concept looks interesting, but I haven't seen enough to completely judge it. And I believe CoDs are about to start 3 year cycles. Sledgehammer is developing a new CoD as well. Maybe more development time will create better games.
