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.

While I have not had a chance to play Origins (still on vacation) I have been avidly watching gameplay and squeezing every last drop of storyline info out of this map. More specifically, I have been fascinated with the Maxis Drone, an AI makeshift Quadrotor that follows the player that deploys it. However, there is a much greater purpose to this Buildable that is extremely important in the story of Origins. We will start with Dr. Ludvig Maxis himself, who's facial identity was finally revealed in the map's opening cinematic: http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb2 ... s_BOII.jpg During the cinematic's initial release, everyone went crazy as to why Maxis was depicte…

The Maxis Drone is probably the coolest buildable I've seen in Black Ops 2. The things I've seen that it can be used to do is: -Shoot zombies -Pick up Power-Ups -Revive players -Fetch Easter Egg items -Warn you about the Panzers and Titans Does anyone else know of anything it can be used for?

I know that the map is in the past when they were all younger (Richtofens lack of grey hair for example) but what about the voice actors? Would they match their young characters still? Seeing as the only one who looks completely different is Nikolai, I do not see anyone else being a issue. This is just personal opinion but Nikolais old voice wouldn't match the young one as much, kindof looks like reznov if you ask me so if they brought that voice actor I would not mind one bit :D

As I am sure most of you know, there is a theory going around that the Zombie Storyline is just a giant time paradox. If you look at everything that has happen so far, the only way it would seem possible to "Break The Cycle" is to stop the Element 115 from being discovered. This would be impossible. So that means it must be broken another way. My theory is that in orgins, we will be launching an All out effort to begin the process to break the cycle. The Cycle can only be broken in one of three ways (at least that's how I see it). The Possible "Cycle Breakers" ------------------------------------------ 1: Kill Richtofen or prevent him from finding the…

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…

I am afraid of this guy..... I'm not afraid to admit it. This guy is the toughest boss Mio since George. And I do not know how to face him to be honest... so I am asking you guys for help. I want to know everything about him and how to effectively kill him. The ray gun is an answer but not the one I am looking for. But I got questions and if you have answers, or other questions yourself, then post below. Are the staffs effective against the panzers? Which one is the best against him? Where is his weak spots? Is his head truly the best place to shot him? Are claymores a 2-hit kill like Brutus was? How far is his death grip range? How often does h…

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…

The Partially Cyclical Omnipotent Samantha Theory Simple Version: Complete Version: 7sbEzkYSfeE So the Side Mission for Origins has been completed, and we got a lot of juicy info about the storyline of zombies. For instance, for the second time in Zombies history (first being Mob of the Dead), the Side Mission ends the game, with closure being the only reward. And it has an ending cutscene, which is a first in itself, unless you count George Romero talking in Call of the Dead. If you want to watch the video, go find one on this site somewhere. But we will start with the ending, because it has some important information. First of all, you…

I must say, although i strongly disagree with the current consensus that Zombies has all be a game/ manipulation/ imagination from Samantha and Eddie, it is a good theory, i want to say that upfront as this is not about who's theory is correct or not. Rather a question about the above theories instead as i would like to hear what people's thoughts are on the matter. Ok for a start the imagination theory as i like to call it that everyone seems as the most likely theory has a loop hole. Say i agree with the whole imagination AND that the end is actually fact and not based of theories like mine and it IS Samantha's turn (due to W@W characters being used) AND…

Just recently i read a theory that suggested the whole story line has just been a dream, upon reading this (and being a hardcore fan since CoDWaW and a huge fan of the Original 4 Characters) I thought i would put a theory up on here, this one is based from one i put up on youtube a while back. Introduction... So the base idea of this theory is that the ending cutscene is a look at whats its like to be the demonic announcer, so this in the cutscene is what it looks like from the view of the aether. As you can see a prop from near enough every zombies map his here, this is also how the person in control is decided (Orange, Red, Blue, ect) Richtofen & S…

Okay, I lost the post because I changed tabs on my ipad so I'm going to write this again in as few wor as possible! Robot = awesome, but how in 1914?? Consider NDU loading screen: What if its Maxis, taking plans from Group 935 near the end of WWII to construct the robot in 1914 (or before) because there's no point building it when they've already lost. He also makes the Mauser (I guess, from blueprints) This means Origins is set AFTER everything that's happened so far, even through in time it's set before. Edit: I know the cartoon shows him going to 1945, but that doesn't mean he went FURTHER back in time; thee blue stream seems to continue off …

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 have a strong feeling since we are going back in time that these towers had no purpose at all. Or had no purpose in this map. I think that the buried was the end all of easter eggs with the button and we will see something entirely unrelated in the final dlc as the easter egg. Think about it, we had an "awesome" reward in buried. we had two maps leading up to it. Both of these can be related to moon. Moon had cotd and shangri la that lead up to its grand finale. And then they left us with a cliffhanger by blowing up the damn earth. Now fast forward to buried. Buried had Tranzit and Die Rise that led up to its grand finale. And then then they l…

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…

I wanted to put forward my theory of what Origins is really the origins of. I've backed up my ideas with FACT, and I believe I've found the real suject originating in Origins: Samantha's Games that she plays with people as the Demonic Announcer. Origins did not happen. This was all in Sam's imaginary game with her friend Eddy. Maxis is a regular human, Original four met just before the final cutscene takes place. However do not dispair, we gain more than we lose. We lose 1 Map of storyline progression for the O4. We gain new insight into Samantha, and the Zombies Story in general.. As well as a really fun "What if?" type map, with the same concept of Marvel Comi…

Hey guys, what is up. I can't even tell you how happy I am that all the map packs are now released. It seems for the last year all my friends have been concentrating almost entirely on high rounds. Our little crew was always a challenge team, and between us have held pretty much every first room WR, both in solo and coop. That was for BO. So now all the map packs are out, it's 2 years of challenges for us. Speedy triple panzer challenge. Rules are very simple. By round 5 you get to speed cola/generator 3. You are allowed speed cola, sticky grenades, an MP40 and an AK. You can't leave this area. Both doors leading out need to be open, and that i…

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…

Hello friends! I am here to share one of the theoris I have about the changing electrical pulsing lights poking up from the roofs of some f the buildings shown in the Map Pack Preview. Now, I am very new to mobile devices so I cannot insert the images into this thread but just imagine that they are there. At various points wthin the trailer, we see little weathervein like thgs on roofs. Now, some of them are activated th Rought the trailer. I believe this to be similar to the Lighthouse function from CotD. These veins show thencurrent location of the Pack-A-Punch within the map. Thanks for reading and please leave your feedback!

It's funny how many people leave the lobby when they see I dont have my mic in. There's been many times where I decide to plug my mic in and everybody either talks about absolutely nothing important or they either rage when they get down or they ended up being terrible anyways. What is it about everyone requiring you need a mic? I'm a skull and dagger rank and I kno that doesn't prove much but I guarantee you I'm better skilwise and im one hell of a teammate than 80% of zombie players out there that have their mic plugged in...but just just because I don't feel like playing with my mic in it can take me on most occasions 5-10 minutes just to get a match started.

Hello,Marko here bringing you another thread(No,really?).This time,I'll try to express my ideas of how I think the map might be,and the things it might have.It will be a "big" read,but I'm almost sure it will worth your time.Anyway,let's not waste any more words... Map What I'll talk about here is simple.Very simple.We all know "Origins" is the Game Mode,right?So,what I'm thinking right now,is that the map will be called Le Tombeau.You know,almost everyone talked about the map being it(including the infamous PTG),and it makes sense now.The ancient ruins they're going to give us might be this "Tomb".Maybe a Alien/Vril tomb.The mystery involving this place will…

Hey folks, This is my first time ever posting this sort of thread/theory/whatever, so bear with me. I've been thinking about MOTD's relevance in the story line, and why Richtofen has blood vials belonging to two of the mobsters - and I think I may have a solid theory which "may" explain. So what if MOTD is actually symbolic of where the N4 were/are trapped after the events of moon? As we know, Moon suddenly ended when Richtofen swapped souls with Sam, and then randomly leaving the other four characters to their own devices. Now, with all the time rift stuff going on, what if they are stuck on moon in a "cycle" Now; MOTD is the O4, stuck in a cycle in a…

Hiya. Let's begin. What I think the different accents are describing, compared to the German to the American, is two Sams. That the Samantha we know and love from Nacht to Moon (Nuketown Zombies, too) is a girl that was born into the WWI era. She's the same girl in the Der Riese recordings. Who I think the American Sam (And this will tie up the Eddie theory too) is that Sam and Eddie hear stories from Maxis, who figures out how to switch bodies before Richtofy dies. And he moves throughout the ages, body to body. But what if he did this along with Sophia? What if they travel throughout the ages, working for Group 935? They don't actually have children until *insert m…
