General discussion in regards to Black Ops 3.
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 can only imagine the many ways chcknshyte individuals can manage to get ahold of pre-release copies of sensational games, and at the very base of that predicament is the fact that the only way to access it without going straight up hacker-cracker on the publisher's data center is if physical copies of the game are created. (Holy toledo...if I was in management at Activ, I would be LIVID, ready to go on a headhunt to narrow down whether it was an inside or distro leak. I'd probably be hated by PR.) So the obvious solution is to switch to digital only, right? Access is provided only when the publisher's distribution center verifies your identity. However, if you're l…

Is there anyone else out there who is only getting BO3 for zombies? I for one am as I have zero interest in MP and will complete the campaign just once. Is it just me or are there others out there the same?

As we know, Treyarch has been streaming interviews every Fridays this month. This week is the third episode. Sidenote: This Friday they MAY talk a bit about zombies. If you wish to tune in its up on Call of Duty's youtube channel by Friday afternoon. I doubt there will be any huge spoilers. The first two episodes have been mostly just technical talk and q&a with a few devs. They have mentioned stuff like how improvements are being made to multiplayer spawn systems and AI, what has changed since the beta and they've showcased the new specialist and MP map. They've also shared their insight and stories about how they got their inspirations and how they set up maps for t…

Campaign would be nice to, but lets be honest. Everybody only cares about zombies. With less than 3 weeks away we really don't know much about the new map, the boss zombie, the announcer, weapons and their statistics, etc. They really need to give us something to watch over and over until the 6th :( I'm not to excited about The Giant since that's basically Der Reise with the same characters. Probably with BO3 guns. Yawn. But Shadows of Evil should be something worth waiting 3 years for no?

Simple question but maybe a difficult answer:- What game mode will you play first? Will you play the campaign from the beginning or start at the final mission? Will you play out the entire campaign missions to see if anything unlocks at the end? Will you play the new 4 player Co-op campaign? Will you play Multiplayer? Will you play "Shadows of Evil"? Or see what is different in "The Giant"? I wasn't really a fan of Shadows of Evil from the first time I saw the Trailer, but researching it more I can see alot of cool story & gameplay to come from this map. But as a World at War & Der Riese diehard, I think I'll have to play the Giant first. (But c…

I've noticed most popular zombie youtubers are good but not amazing and dont have any 'pro records.' Some do, but not many. Why? I think this is because high round players only upload high round attempts instead of challenges and top5's and stuff like that. Take for instance, the only very good 'pro' zombie player that does this kind of thing - TheRelaxingEnd. He claimed a few WR's and has continued regularly posting challenges and custom maps. He doesnt even talk in his vids - but ppl still watch!.. I'd like to try a similar thing. I just got the kino 1st room/ no doors WR, and am planning to do regular challenges and upload several times a week - frequency will increa…

Ok, so the achievements recently released, CONFIRMS that there's a new DOA, SO, what do you think? Will it be a 3rd person shooter? A 2d shooter? Or would it be more like doom? Will there be bosses other then the cosmic silverback? Guns? Drops? Gems? What do you think?

The inspiration for this map is a bit topical, if the mods have any issue with it, please feel free to inform me to remove what's in this spoiler, or remove it yourself. I don't want this thread taken down for something so trifle, but I do want people to get the whole picture. Just tell me and I'll take it down. *Thumbs up Emoji Now for those that don't want to hear anything about the BO3 beta's PC file codes: Skip this spoiler. Ladys and gentlemen: Dead OPs Arcade II: Castle of the undead This mode will be unlocked similarly to the last DOA, only this time it's by finding a specific website on the the new In-game-Wiki. The game it's self will feature a 2-D G…

Aside from the title(LEL) I made this because I'm wondering what(if any) weapons would be returning from previous games. Because, call me a heathen, I like the SMR and Grenade Launcher. First off, the SMR, requires accuracy, most CoD players I've ever met never had that(no offence). The Grenade Launcher, I'm an explosives man. If you ever saw my Fallout New Vegas character you'd be lucky, because I blow him and my enemies up in smoke with a tactical mini nuclear launcher. Aside from that I hope the Type 25 never comes back. That gun had terrible fire rate and accuracy.

As I'm sure you've seen on youtuber's channels. Black ops 3 has gone gold. MEANING, it's finished. No more major tweaks or changes. Everything's just being printed onto disks and shipped to storage. What does this mean for us? Leaks- Avoid these. More stuff to anaylize: Now that game production is on the backburner, treyarch is biding it's time by either advertising the game more. Or sitting back and not doing much. Chances are if they're smart, it'll be the first one. We're nearly a month before launch fellow inmates! Getting close! Nov. 6 isn't that far off! (39 days from now ^_^)

I would really like to see some numbers from this forum as to who ascribes to which concept. So drop your opinion on the Poll and let's see some stats! Even if your belief varies from one of the definitions below to a certain extent, please attempt to choose the most appropriate one. Multidimensional: for the purpose of this poll, the conviction that Zombies takes place SOLELY across 3 separate, unique, non-parallel realms: Earth, Agartha, the Aether, and any other unique realm that might be expressly defined; and that all events, maps, and time loops or cycles take place in and across those three ONLY. Multiverse: Clearly accepts the idea of Agartha and the Aeth…

I'd actually be surprised if people do because I had Advanced Warfare for my 360 but now I bought a PS4 and that, it looks SO MUCH BETTER! :0 I mean if BO3 looks anything like that AW on last gen, just no. Oh and 3 days until Beta :)

Ok, so up till now we have had the reveal of Shadows of Evil and the bonus map The Giant. Without buying a special edition the stock map would be Shadows of Evil and our main storyline getting a map that is potentially one not everyone would obtain and with it not being a stock map then it means the storyline is either no longer important and is being concluded with The Giant to appease those who set themselves on fire after completing Origins. With that being said, a few things bother me. One is that I cannot really see the Shadows of Evil map carrying on in DLC so is it just another bonus map and we are still to see what the real map and new story mode is going to b…

What is everyones thoughts on this? I'd so love to play BO1/2 on current gen, i think it could be a good marketing strategy to promote BO3 tbh. But typical ATVI may not allow it.

Is anyone else disappointed in the graphics shown thus far in gameplay clips (zomibes or multiplayer)? They just don't seem to be much more improved over last gen consoles. To me the jump from WaW (360) to BO2 (One) is way bigger than BO2 (360) to BO3 (One). Here's 1080p (though 30fps) gameplay of BO3 multiplayer. https://youtu.be/5ociYeI-cEE?t=44s And while the one in game screenshot of Richtofen in The Giant looked good, the gameplay of Shadows of Evil didn't seem that much improved. Maybe we'll just have to wait to see it in action on our own consoles/PC to judge, but so far I'm not impressed.

Once Der RIese was released for World at War character bios were added for Demsey, Nikolai, Takeo and Richtofen. Now with the addition of Origins and generally much more information about the characters, these bios seem pretty inconsistent, e.g. Richtofen was known as the butcher during WW2, and that Nikolai played a big part in Russian politics. Are the characters meant to go through world war one and two, and then encounter the zombies, but some kind of intervention forced an alternate timeline in which Tank, Takeo and Nikolai hunted down Richtofen in Northern France in WW1? Just generally a bit confused on the origins of the storyline at this point. Radios on W…

The title of this thread depicts the exact way the XP system will effect the game. SO, how will the XP system effect the game specifically? Personally, I think it rewards you will certain customizable items: -A different starting pistol for instance. But others have begun to theorize a LOT of different things: -Different effects of the sword in SOE. -Different/more guns in the box. -Different/more perks in the wonderfizz. -Different/more gum balls in the Monty's Gum machine. -Different starting location in the SOE map. -Survival/Gamemode maps open up. What do you think will be effected by the ranking system? REMEMBER: It can't be TOO OP. But it…

I don't mean like literally the exact specialist system, because every decision you make in zombies affects gameplay, and no external decisions. Consequently a conventional character select or create a class has never been implemented. But still, it seems like a few of the abilities or weapons could work in zombies, albeit implemented in a way more conventional to Zombies. We already saw the girl in SoE do a Grav Spike slam (although it looked more electrical) yet it was more or less the same idea. Do you think the other MP Specialist weapons could fit in zombies? Surely not ALL of them. The Anihilator hand-cannon thing seems a little unnecessary. Then you run into the is…
