Origins
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.

Okay so this is a REALLLLLLY long shot theory but I want to hear what some of you have to say. We know a Samantha Maxis from our reality of Zombies. She WAS the controller of zombies. The daughter of Dr. Ludvig Maxis. But what if this Samantha, in the intro for Origins, is NOT the same? ....Whut? Okay here me out. At the end of the Cutscene, she makes no indication she is Samantha MAXIS, just Samantha. Could it be possible that this Samantha is from an alternate universe of WW1 where Maxis is not her father? Ill also add this. Why say "2 german scientists attempted to harness" etc etc. Why call them scientists. Why not say "My father Maxis and…

This is something I have been discussing with my friend over past few days. I have been thinking it's likely that we might be able to build the Wunderwaffle in this map. I think this because of how there is the Stg in this map which was what the Wunderwaffle in real life was a modified version of. And now we know that one of the staffs is electricity thanks to the achievement pictures. So Maybe we combine the electric staff with the Stg. I made this in paint. http://i.imgur.com/vZHyGzZ.jpg (I don't know how to input an image) To me it looks like them bits circled are the same. Anyway I would just like to here your guys views on this.

What are your first thoughts or reactions to Origins? Discuss any strategies or reactions here. This is NOT the place to discuss the Easter Egg. This is a, "Hey, this map is awesome, especially when you do x" thread. Because of spoiler reasons, anything relating to the steps of the Easter Egg or how it affects the story will be deleted.

At this point in the CoD universe, loop holes are either filled or are forgotten or worse... incomplete theories. :evil: Also, this universe is damn absurd and I like it because it is fun. 1. A mystery box that spawns randoms weapons. (I hope this gets answers in Origin, the origin of the box.) 2. Chalks weapons ( How are chalked weapons created? Who puts them there? How come they made a joke about it in Buried?) 3. Will we ever see this Aether World? Or Have we reached there, (there is a thread in the Asylum explaining that Shangri-la was the Aether world.) 4. Who created these Perk Machines? Since the introduction of Verrukt, we zombie fans…

In Zombies, there are certain eye colors that the Zombies have depending on who is controlling them as we know. Who do you think is controlling the purple eyed Templar Zombies in the Origins intro. Is it someone in the map, someone from the past, or just the Zombies controlling themselves. Also are the Zombies eye color on Origins, yellow or orange? Here is a list of the current zombie eye colors and who is controlling them. - Yellow: Samantha Maxis - Blue: Dr. Edward Richtofen - Red: Brutus? - Orange: Dr. Ludwig Maxis - Purple: ???

You ever just have an epiphany out of a thin air? In the most recent letter from the fields, we have Edwards as you all know by now Now I could possibly be proven wrong instantly, but I know that Maxis is searching for his daughter, Samantha, in aether, weve come to know that he is very protective of his Samantha, whom has Yellow glowing eyed zombies, which has changed with each succesful easter egg besides motd. Yet are trailer has purple eyes, and more pro-dominantly, yellow eyes. I've read through most of these threads and the most favored scenario is time travel. But i have a curve-ball to throw your way. What if according to this letter "THE …

Hello CoDz, I'm Nico Ace and I just registered on this form. I love Zombies and it's intriguing storyline... but I digress. It seems that Treyarch changed Samantha's voice in the cinematic for Origins, but only on CoD TV on Xbox 360. I have a PS3, so I can't see it. Can someone please record it and post it here? Also, has someone watched on Xbox if they added Origins on the leaderboards? Nothing happened on PS3 apart from the Trophy list. Thanks in advance.

Hey. Treyarch have uploaded Origins to CODTV and it's slightly different than the intro we heard on YouTube!! Samantha has a normal girls voice and she says a few more things than the YouTube intro! WTF Treyarch!??!? EDIT: To see what I mean, look at themikaelus's video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzRFWWppIyw Or my crappy phone quality potato cam one, somewhere on this page.

Hi codz I´ve been following the forum since TranZit came out and I think it´s time to be part of the community; as we all know the list of achievements for origins is out and the one with releasing Samantha (Little Lost Girl) is what made me come up with this... First of all let´s discuss the shitty voice of Samantha in the cinematic intro and how we don´t hear the O4 voice; the one we hear seems an old or somehow altered grown voice of Samantha. Secondly remember Richtofen´s face as he sees his hands full of blood he is like: "¿da fuck is this?" "¿where am I? or most importantly ¿WHO AM I?" Third but not least, when the o4 meet in the room/lab they all s…

So, we have a new map releasing next Tuesday as everyone is well aware. The topic I would like to address today is the pack-a-punch. A couple of things to discuss and theorize on, is will we have a "pack-a-punch" machine at all, or will we be upgrading in a different manner. and then secondly assuming there is a physical pack-a-punch machine, what camo will we be seeing on the guns afterward. Will it be the purple and green swirl like with the N4 maps? will it be the flaming illuminati skin a la Mob of the Dead? we got a reimagining of the WaW pack-a-punch camo released as a multiplayer camo, since this is the "origins" maybe that will be the skin? or will it be a comp…

Just throwing this out there as my theories about the staffs in this map, based on the achievements. 1. There are 4 staves total - earth, air, fire, water. 2. You have to build each staff with parts (some parts are buried). 3. Each staff can be PaPed to upgrade it to an Ultimate Staff. 4. You can give staves to other players with the Use button. If they have a staff, you trade staves. 5. Each staff's attack power relates to its element. Air = thundergun, Fire = flaming lava laser, Water = push back and slip up zombies, Earth = surround zombies with dirt to paralyze them temporarily 6. When Ultimate, the staves have a secondary effect on players, like t…

Just about all of us zombie fanatics have seen the Origins trailer,which in my opinion by far the best zombie trailer,they made all of them look like total badasses. But anyway alot of people don't understand the giant robot roaming around. my theory is that,obviously was created in der reise.I mean come on "the giant is rising",that's a pretty big hint,and group 935 wasnt only working with element 115,there goal was to make sure Germany would have a victory in the great war,and I giant robot could probably be pretty usefull in either of the world wars,but anyways,I believe it may have gotten teleported from der reise to France somehow maybe a teletporter maybe it wa…

I just want to clear something up about what is going on in Origins. Origins IS set in an alternate reality. Treyarch have 100000% confirmed that. Look here: That can be found right here, ON THE BLACK OPS 2 WEBSITE: http://www.callofduty.com/blackops2/dlc/dlc4-apocalypse Why is this important? Because this is the explanation to the age argument. In this reality, events have played out differently to the one we are used to. The Element was discovered much earlier, and the characters were born earlier. Some (or none) of our Zombies maps will not occur in this reality. Just wanted to clear that up.

Origins - The Outpost Link As we all know, the Germans were obsessed with gaining the upper hand in both World Wars. They did many things to try and accomplish that. In the Zombies reality we are familiar with, the Germans succeeded in accomplishing that in WWII with Group 935's discovery of Element 115. But, in our Origins timeline (which is confirmed to be an ALTERNATE version here), the Germans discovered the Element much earlier: In the midst of World War 1. The Germans had discovered the Element a fair time earlier than in the Current Reality. They seem to have a decent knowledge of what the substance is and seem to know of its i…

When Origins releases, what are YOU expecting our 4 characters' personalities to be? I'm expecting them to be different, Nikolai especially. As we haven't heard a single mention of vodka in his notes, and he's much skinnier in the opening cinematic, I'd say that this is before he started drinking. I think we may get a character that is.. almost normal in the sense that the alcohol hasn't completely killed his brain cells. I feel as though he may be somewhat intelligent. I feel as though Richtofen will be quite mad, but not nearly as mad as we know him to be. We could see his split personalities come into play, and possibly see him doing something and then realiz…

In the trailer, we all noticed how Treyarch misspelled Nikolai's last name. But now, this comes in forms of the letters. Not a spelling error though, a legitimate historical inaccuracy. We were all impressed with them using real life battles from World War I, but I noticed something. The Battle of Belleau Wood really did happen, and some people think the term Devil Dog really did come from that battle. However, a newspaper used the term before the battle ever happened, and it was published on none other than April 14, 1918. Cool, huh? Not really, because the battle didn't occur until June 1 and Dempsey is describing the combat on April 14, two weeks prior to t…
