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.

Richtofen's Last Letter Dated 13th of May 1918. I was born on the 13th of May 1981. So 13/05/1918 & 13/05/1981, coincidence? Bear in mind they probably know my birthday, and they 100% knew that I'd notice this. See what they did there... :twisted: Love it, made me smile like a kid in a candy store. Just a little trivia. I feel like NZC was Pablo's Journal. Regards Alpha. Also just noticed I posted this on Friday the 13th in 2013. Nice.

So I was playing yesterday going for all for Ultimate staves in solo, and I ran into a problem while going for the ultimate ice staff. I built it and finished flipping the stones in the Crazy Place no problem. Then I had an issue with freezing and destroying the tombstones around the map. The only weapons I had were the ice staff and Boomhilda, and when I would freeze them and shoot them, Boomhilda wouldn't destroy them for whatever reason. Only had around 270 points at the time, and had to rebuild some windows to buy an M14 to destroy them. Not the worst glitch in the world, but it was kind of weird that Boomhilda would't work on the tombstones. Anyone else have this pro…

Hey Just wandering if anyone had seen this before or if it is of any importance, it can be found by lying inside the audio log to the left of the workbench opposite the map that can be shot down.

So Origins has left all us die hard zombie story fans a bit perplexed as to what is real and what isn't as far as our epic story goes. Is zombies done for good? Was it all just a game? Are we now entering a new dimension or real world of zombies? Do we have splintered universes? I would like to suggest that Zombies in the form we all know and love is finished. The story is over, Treyarch realised it was too convoluted to make any sense of so left it with the "it was all a game." As to the future of zombies, I do not think our beloved game is over. I think Mob of the Dead was a test. And what was it testing? It was finding out our response to standalone Zomb…

What's your record for the fastest pack-a-punch? Mine is round 5. Here is a picture. I'll upload Video tonight. I believe round 4 is possible but it is extremely difficult to get, based on drops and luck. I got so unlucky by getting 2x at the end of round of round 4 I broke my own record of round 6, I got this yesterday. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQFVvD0rMCE Strategy: Pistol points and melee them at round 1 and 2. Round 3, I opened door and used 2x from reward box, waited until they all spawned and shot Mauser to into the group. I skipped anything extra I didn't have to get buy like Jugg or Quick revive or even a gun. I used shovel to dig…

So if you have either seen the ending cutscene of Origins EE or watched it, OR, like me, an absolute FAN of music, you bought the Soundtrack, you may notice that there is a song called Samantha's Rest. It is an interesting song. It sounds really familiar...hm....perhaps... MOON LOADING SCREEN?! That's right. This is the same song as Samantha's Lullaby but with a significant difference. It is hard to point out specific details as I am NOT good at noting music. But its there. They really are different. So now my point. Why are they different? Why the sudden change in tone? Here are the links to the two songs Samantha's Lullaby: http://w…

So the Easter Egg that King Skylark and Brian Tuey were hinting at got found. Head to generator 1 and lie down on each of the number 1 symbols on the floor, press x on each of them. You'll hear the sound that tells you that you've activated a music easter egg step. Then head over to Generator station 5 and do the same for the number 5. This will play the song "Aether" Credit to the city of z for finding this. Here's a video guide if you need it, but I doubt you will. 59IhYPqZ9lU

Nikolai has a very Resnov-esque mustache and pretty full goatee in Origins. Later on, when he transforms into Chernov, he does not have this facial hair anymore. Furthermore, Dempsey looks a lot more like Kiefer Sutherland from WaW in Origins, and as such his hair is black. But later on, his hair turns blonde. Same thing happens to Rictofen, he has a mustache in Origins, but no mustache in his older versions. When did they find the time to groom like this? I know, I know, ending and all these magical possibilities, but this is a still a perplexing issue that has been bothering me ever since I saw the new models. What are your guys take on this crucia…

Today, I played origins solo on original difficulty in a local lobby(on Xbox). Got the wind staff and went to the crazy place to do the first challenge in the process of upgrading the staff. I used the image shown in this post http://www.callofdutyzombies.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=155&t=35402 to attempt to solve the wind puzzle but after getting the rings in place, nothing happened. I then went to a Youtube video and did exactly what the person in the video did and the puzzle did not work still. Then, I just shot the rings randomly a bit but still it did not show the "solved" animation where the rings spin around automatically. Has anyone else had trouble with this? i…

Hey everyone! How's it going? I've had a bunch of time off from work lately and have had time to comment more often on here...and I think I may have a few more tips to share to make Origins a little more forgiving. I thought of posting this after watching a 'well-known' zombies youtube persons video guide to Solo point building on the first few rounds of Origins. They missed a few things in the vid that I thought I would point out just in case some of you here wanted the info as well. On round 1, if you turn on the generator ASAP and kill Templars by knifing them you can get an extra 100. Most people only kill three or four before the generator is turned on. You…

Alright so this is my first post, so bare with me a bit. I am just going to assume everyone here has payed attention to the pre release of origins as well. Before origins came out we got the opening cinematic trailer. The first version had what most people on here called a 90-year old chain smoker. About a week later, the trailer came out again and featured the voice of Samantha that was used during the map. Why? Alot of people said this was just an accident, or maybe that they did not have a voice prepared, so they used this one until another was ready. For me though, i have a different theory. If we are to go by the ending, and assume this is just a …

Warning: If you have not done the Easter Egg for Origins or do not want to know the ending just yet, avoid this thread as much as you can. We have finally uncovered the beginning to the ending, and the finale of what we have begun. The final cutscene - much to many people's dismay - revealed a little too much of a horrific condition that the Zombies we've come to understand and live through is all but a child's game...or is it? I'm here, friendos, to show us how wrong we've been to turn the other cheek. Let's begin with understanding the paradox of Origins. The Paradoxical Circumstance In the winter of 1918, two German scientists by th…

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 …

Origins Achievement / Trophy Guide Thought it would be handy to have a single port of call for all the achievements associated with Origins. I have compiled below a list of each of the achievements with their corresponding Gamerscore / Trophy and details of how to achieve the same. If anyone has any little hints or tips to make any of these easier please post them below and I will update the OP with any additions. Not a Gold Digger - In Origins, share a weapon you dug up. (5 (G)) (Bronze) This is by far one of the easiest achievements to date. Grab a shovel and dig, if the dig reveals a weapon then let a team mate pick it up instead of taking it …

What I mean by this is something short and sweet. Back before Origin's released, we got that teaser video with the subliminal pictures of some guy all chopped up and with his brain removed. In the intro cinematic for Origins, we are shown the face of Maxis for the first time. Later in the cutscene, we see that guy we saw missing his brain in the subliminal image. Lastly, as soon as you spawn, you notice that the body is gone, however, there is a brain on a table that belongs to the Maxis Drone... Ignoring the fact that the first body seemed to be missing a beard, can't we logically infer that the body is supposed to belong …

We got to the part where we had to kill the zombies to get our upgraded fists, which we all did. We didn't get a quote to continue so we just assumed we could, we put the staffs into the crazy place and killed zombies in there for 4 rounds. Nothing happened. We assumed we did something wrong and took the staffs back down to the excavation site. When we got down there we had a duplicate Ice staff. We had the ice staff that one of my friends had, and one in the statue. I picked it up and was able to use it. When I picked the the Thunder Staff again, the duplicate Ice staff went back into its statue down in the site. However we could not advance past the elemental …

I was looking at pics of Sam's old Kino WW2 room today, and noticed they are very similar to her room in the cut scene, layout and size wise. They both have the same door and door location, double shelves, wood wainscoting, wood flooring type, window type and location, rooflines to the sides of the window, a window stoop, and red area rug! And where a coat rack was, there is the mannequin. And of course the both have dolls of our heroes, and teddy bears. I hadn't realized this before. What do you all think? Tribute or meaning or both?

Solo Guide to setup in Origins zombies map for high rounds without touching the mystery box. This guide will help you set up for high rounds using Upgraded Ice staff, Boomhilda and Airstrikes by round 10. Acknowledgements I understand how much pain this map is to get setup and those silly downs from hording up zombies when you are simply trying to maximize points, mud slowing you down and you getting stomped by robots and when everything goes right, panzer taking you down by spitting fire or by grabbing you with his claw. This guide my dear friend will definitely help you going down the right path if you follow it step by step. I assume you have ge…

Vril, Element 115, and Origins Being relatively new to the whole Zombies experience I am finding the plethora of theories and assessments surrounding the Zombie storyline fascinating. One of the most ubiquitous subjects is Vril. This substance has captured my attention had has had me scouring the darkest corners of the internet and I thought I would share my thoughts. The Vril Society I’d like to start IRL if I may with an organisation known as The Vril Society (VS). There a differing opinions on when VS was first formed, it is either in Venice in 1917 or in Germany after WW1 (In either case it is purported that it was these occult beliefs that the Naz…
