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.

We've all seen the cutscene at least a dozen of times since its release today. No matter how many times you play it, your mind will be blown away. But let's save the mind blowing for when the actual DLC drops, yes? Video: TS701bMxmSI I've dissected as many stills as I could from the video. Let's see what we can explore, friendos. Ah, the zeppelin and bi-planes. This is what we first experience in the atmosphere. We are given a pretty distinct view of a cloudy, foggy, overcast, and stormy weather pattern in this map. No doubt that it will be rather difficult to see in a much similar manner like Call of the Dead. The w…

Hey guys. Not seen footage like this anywhere else. I made these 2 videos to show a few friends what I was doing. 13-15 seconds per shot, can kill up to 36 per shot. Round 67 isn't the best example, but it was to show how I handle insta kill and panzer. 69 is much smoother as the previous 15 rounds or so was fine tuning it. The videos are unlisted. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ar4HAfx7hTY Ar4HAfx7hTY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2J79d_lilw O2J79d_lilw

Question: If you get an ice staff piece from the ground near gen. 2 and then the round ends, turning the weather to rain, you should wait and dig up no more around gen. 2 and 3 until it snows again. Question: All the symbol puzzles are different and reset every game. Question: You can dig the same spots over and over again to get the golden shovel. Question: Dig spots only respawn when it rains. Question: The tank can crush you. Question: you can call the tank from the tank station at any point in the game. Question: Once you lose your robot beacons, they're gone forever. …

I'm really confused from seeing the intro. If you've watched the intro, with volume, you'd have seen Dr. Maxis. If you haven't here's what he looks like: At the end, the voice said "My name is Samantha..." Now this brings me to some questions. Dr Maxis looks very old. I know some will say that is could be Dr. Maxis Senior, but I don't think it is. We all know Maxis and Richtofen worked together. I don't recall seeing/hearing any radios of Richtofen working with Dr. Maxis Senior or Dr. Maxis JR mentioning it. If it is the Dr. Maxis we know, how did he live to 1945? He looks like he'd have passed on by then. I know some say that Maxis could…

I searched back 8 pages with no information that i could find. What does the flip side of the staves do? The drawing at spawn lists a ? As its function. It doesn't have a reload animation, the ammo simply moves from reserve to chamber. (push left on the d-pad to access the flip side). It has one more ammo in solo than in mp, why? What does it accomplish in solo? Known (Ish): it revives a downed teammate. When my friend shot a zombie with it, the zombie reportedly exploded, and he was in a bubble that seemed to act like one of the vrill gun's (cotd bo1) side effects: making zombies ignore the bubbled player for a few seconds. Sadly, i always f…

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…

Whaddup guys, So on 3arc's Facebook page, they've been posting some very interesting letters that seem to connect to the O4 characters. If you want to see them, check out GRILL's thread here. One of the notes that was on there really stuck out to me, though. 'twas the note that supposedly relates to Dempsey, the third one. Have a look: (creds to GRILL) Basically, what this note is saying is that the writer is hearing a ton of military rumors that seem pretty ridiculous, such as lights in the sky, a plague, and a giant metal man. In real life these rumors would sound absolutely so out there that they should be ignored, but in the zombies world, we've hone…

That isn't exactly its name but its pretty damn close to what it actually does. Found it as a reward when I filled all 4 chests with souls in no mans land. It is pretty powerful and can instakill up to at least 16. For those who do not know about the difficulties in filling the chests, you must do it before a giant steps on the area or it resets, have all players at one chest at a time to get all the zombies there. i will supply a picture soon if possible.

Hey everyone, So, the new ultimate staffs are being discovered as I write this and I would like to talk about the names of these staffs and what they mean It seems as if all of the UStaffs are going to be named after gods. Staff of Lightning/Kimat's Bite Although there is no major god in any religion that I can find, called Kinat I have found this on the Indiana Jones Wikia http://indianajones.wikia.com/wiki/Kimat This says that Kimat is a creature of Lightning, which normally appears in the form of a dog, who's bite can fell trees and do other lightning like things. Anyone who sees Kimat is guaranteed a quick death. Sounds like the lightning st…

So, not sure if this is happening frequently to other players, but in the last 4 games of Origins I have played through yesterday and today, the tank has killed me and other team mates a total of 14 times! Basically, it has happened whenever we try to collect the Lightning Staff parts. No zombies were anywhere near us or the tank when it happens. The tank goes over a bump and boom... dead! This is a video my team mate recorded of his downs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLwBSTNd ... youtu.be&a It is not a host issue as in each of our 4 games, we had different hosts and in all 4 occasions, different team mates. Is this happening to ANYONE else…

Usually to do with the staffs, I would think. The biggest thing that annoys me that I can think of is when I go down the excavation site, my idiot teammates (all down) are in such a hurry to get their precious staffs that they didn't put the gramophone down, even worse, is it's somewhere else and I get blocked by panzers/zombies. I dare anyone to think of something worse. I know some people complain about staff stealing but honestly I'm lucky to get a match where anyone even knows about the staffs at all, let alone someone actually having one =/

What a shocking title for some, but it is true. Past 40, you zombie gods want the ice staff with the wind staff as a back up. However, by my best calculations, 97+% of Origins players don't make it past 30, with less than 1% passing 40 (not counting players with less than 350 deaths as they aren't really zombie players, just people checking the game out). My rationale: A wonder weapon must do at least 1 of these 2 things; instantly clear the path/untrap you, and kill at high rounds when nothing else will. So, remembering that most aren't making it past 30, let alone 40, the second part isn't as important to them and guns will still kill past 30, which th…

In all the past maps we have had either a Turned or Grief mode with the exception of Green Run and Buried which had both. What do you think is in store for this map? Grief, Turned, or Both? Now the "longshot" is this and bear with me on this, but what if instead of including a mode of Grief/Turned they included another Story Map, another TranZit (That is the Story mode version) What if on one map we have the 04 and on the other we have the N4. Additionally, what if you had to do an EE with the O4 to do the one with the N4. I know this is a bit (really*) farfetch'd but the idea is pretty nice. Just imagine the amount of hours of play time Treyarch would receive. …

It's "Diesel Punk" WWI themed. This means there's great potential to see some classic rifles in zombie killing action. What are your hopes for historical weapons? I'd like to see the staples of WWI at least. The Kar98s, Lee-Enfields, Ross Rifles, etc. Maybe a Maxim Machine Gun emplacement or even a Lewis Gun? We know the original characters are returning, so there's always hope from historical weapons of all factions, right?
