Witness the origins of Group 935, as an ancient evil is unleashed upon the battlefields of World War I.
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.

For those who don't know, I will list where to find the parts to each and every staff. Ice- Can be dug up, and the disc is in the room with the four stone tablets that can be picked up. I believe it is also the same room the box starts off in, and has an mp40 on the wall. Fire- Can be dug up, given as a reward for completing generator 6, and one must be obtained from a glowing plane flying around. Shoot it down. Lightning- While on the tank, there are three platforms you can jump on to that lead to staff parts. One is before the first stop and to the right. The second is to the left, and leads in to the middle area beneath the Pack-a-Punch. The last on…

Welcome to my first post on these forums and today I am bringing you my theory on the true meaning behind the Easter egg end cutscene in origins. Few things first: to really understand this theory you need a clear understanding of 1.the zombie storyline 2. A consept of how time is now one way flowing. This theory is quite complex as well so it is a bit long Also I would like to point out this is a theory, A THEORY. Let's begin: Many people believe that the origins cutscene (end) shows that the maps and it's characters are imaginary and the Sam and eddy playing is reality. I believe that this is wrong and kinda the other way round. The maps are reality and the …

Hey guys, Nai here just sharing something that was found recently (I do not know who by, but I will be using Caspahz videos as evidence) So to do this all you'll need is PhD Flopper (which can be obtained from the Wunderfizz Perk Machine) and an Elemental Staff (the element will determine the type of 'flop') Simply hold the staff and dolphin dive (to where it would normally make an explosion) and you will create a blast of whatever element you are holding eg. freezing for Ice, blowing for Wind etc. Now, I am not sure whether upgrading the Staff creates more powerful explosions, I'm going to run a few tests to see. Flop's In Action Electric …

It would seem we are getting the long awaited return of the mp40, as evidenced in the trailer. Takeo is holding it. Thoughts?

Origins is undoubtedly one of the better maps in black Ops 2. Sure it is a difficult map, but the engineering and map design put into it far exceeds any of the previous maps in Black Ops 2. With that said, there are certain aspects of the map that need to be patched. Things that, in the two days I've played it non-stop, have been more than slight annoyances. The first thing I would like too see changed is the god damn robot. I've gotten to the point where I know where it will spawn and when. And the robot has really changed the dynamic of the map for good. But the one thing I can't stand is the fact the robots foot with the portal changes. I.e. The little portal into…

Does she ever shut up? Just played Origins and she seemed more annoying than ever. She litterally said about 5 quotes in a single go. Then not to mention the usual "Help Me or die" crap that was like every 30 seconds. Anyone else find her as annoying as I do? Also does anyone know how to shut her up without doing the EE? And don't say "Play easy" she still talks on that too. ._.

OK So with LiamFTWinter finishing the EE and Ehjookayted making a EE ending discussion topic, I hope I can finally post this. I have multiple theories regarding the ending. Theory #1: It's all just a game..... So in the ending we see Sam and Eddie playing with figures which heavily resemble Richtofen Nikolai and Takeo in their World at War appearence. Towards the ending we also see figures of Russman and Samuel, underneath the bed. When Sam starts knocking the zombies over, she knocks over a zombie from Buried and a zombie from Mob of the Dead. [This is how MOTD probably ties in as well] Eddie says "Their eyes should be blue" hinting he's the real Ri…

Hi, I've just joined the forum however I've been reading posts on here since black ops and I've been playing zombies since then. But since BO2 I haven't really enjoyed the maps or took much notice of the story until origins, which (after having the DLC since its release) Im finally starting to actually play it and be interested in zombies again. After seeing the ending cutscene of Origins I was wondering what people most thought it was trying to display - whether or not they actually are just kids dreaming up a game or whether there is something else too it. Because tbh I think if that is the case then its a pretty rubbish ending (or whatever its supposed to be, ending, …

Okay guys, there's been a lot circulating with Origins ending, some think it was just a game, some think Sam and Richtofen played this and Maxis brought it to life, however I have he solution. My theory, is that the Origins end scene didn't literaly happen in a physical sense likes its shown, but since Sam is just a child this is how se comprehens what's going on in the real world while she's in control and when she's in Agartha. This would also explain points. Samantha views it as a game and so turns it into a game. When Richtofen takes control Maxis had destroyed the Rift so he couldn't change it and make it into real life again. To continue with this theory, sometime…

we all have seen the ending scene. few things i want to point out that really stuck out. eddie, we all know hes a liar...we all know he resembles richtofen thats why his name is eddie. funny hes holding the richtofen doll. also just to note the bed they are next to has eddie with a score and sam with a score. how many times they gain control and win? sam goes on to listen to her dad which is very important info. why would they need to close the windows? someone gonna bomb them or is it the zombie outbreak? eddie goes on to say "do as your dad says." which i find funny because richtofen was maxises friend and didnt like sam from the radios in der riese make…

Hi!!! Every time me and my friends play split screen we have issues with collecting the staff parts. When we pick up a part of the staff it wont light up the piece we just picked up in the inventory. For example, if top screen picks up a part for the fire staff it will light up the top screens fire staff slot but not bottom screen or vice verse. Sometimes it wont even show that we picked anything up. We probably picked up the pieces but its very confusing to look at the inventory and not know what you have. BTW the inventory shows up on the screen when you press select. Everything works fine when I play solo but I need help troubleshooting split screen. If anyone else is …

Hey guys I was recently playing a game with a few friends and ran into a glitch which ruined the whole game. I was wondering if you guys know about this and a possible fix to get out of it or if there is any way to get Treyarch's attention so they can fix this because it has happened two more times since this game and it gets quite annoying. At first I thought the glitch was because of the staff I used in combination with the Panzer but it occurred with the ice and wind as well.

Hey guys, i was in a game yesterday and when we completed the easter egg in the crazy place, i grabbed a zombie blood and was goofen off and just looking around, and i noticed i could see writing on the wall. It said to follow the steps and a buch of other things that i couldent quite make out before my zblood ran out. I figured maby it was clues to doing the EE. But what has now got me curious i did it again BEFORE completing the egg and they where not thier. These inscriptions can only be seen AFTER completing the EE. So why would Treyarch give us a clue that you can only see in zombie blood AFTER completitng the easter egg. I hate to get my hopes up and think that…

Alright after watching that video (its a snipet from a pretty epic scene in the movie "suckerpunch") someone please tell me that it doesn't look like Treyarch literally took an explicit reference from that movie for the setting and theme of the next zombie map... Trench warfare, zepplins and aerial combat, giant usable mechs, steam punk zombies, and world war era'd theme... Do you feel there's anything we can derive from this or is it simply an eerie exceptionally distinct reference to a movie that may or may not have been intentional... And try to focus on the enviornment, not just the pretty faces haha :D

Sorry if this has already been posted but I thought I'd share this. So I tried getting an extra perk by activating Der Wunderfizz and then buying a 4th perk while it generates the perk and then collecting it but this didn't work. There is a way though to get extra perks. Once you get your gold shovel (just keep digging snd you will get it) keep on the lookout for Zombie Blood. Once your in Zombie Blood go running round the map looking for a dig thats glowing orange. They are rare and you can only see them in ZB, but there will be one somewhere trust me. When you dig you get a perk bottle. When collected nothing happens, there isnt any indication other than the b…

ahh origins. We have our fair share of rages,laughs, and fustrations. But here is where all this is now. Yesterday, i was doing the easter egg with some friends. (3 player), and i broke the seal for the soldats. then we relized that no one had the maxis drone. We looked in Argartha, we looked at all the building stands. Nothing. Then we think the step glitched out. Anyone know? Anyways, we played again later and i kept the drone, and we broke the seal, killed the panzers, then i had to go . It's like no one wants me to beat this easter egg.

Hey guys, this is my first time on this forum in FOREVER, so I thought I'd make a post about something I've been thinking about. In the ending cutscene, we learn that it was all supposedly a game that Richtofen and Samantha were playing. But, I have my doubts- so, I'll be discussing here what I think about this whole scheme about it being a game. CONTENTS: 1. Who was this "Eddie"? 2. Items in the room 3. Accurate events 1. "EDDIE"- WHO IS HE? Now, I'm guessing that most of you will be saying that Eddie is Richtofen, and yes, there is plenty of evidence to support that- the similar look, the craving for blue eyes, and the fact that he is p…
