The Giant
Re-awaken The Giant. Return to the secret facility where it all began, and strike at the heart of the zombie scourge.
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.

Now this may sound crazy but I went kinda out of the box with this one. In Origins we have two kids Samantha and Eddie both living with Maxis. Samantha directly references Maxis as her father meaning Eddie is not son of Maxis. From their games we see that Eddie portrays the part of Richtofen controlling zombies and Samantha herself. Now the idea I have here is that Maxis trough timetravel and multiple dimensions we are facing in zombie story took young Richtofen under his wings. To teach him, to prepare him for a mission. Hold that thought and go listen the radios in Giant. Then post your thoughts.

This is a companion thread to my SoE thread "Moar Zombie Maps Inside!" and the Der Eisendrache "Moar DE..." thread, dissecting and discussing the map and playing options. (Note that these 2 mentioned threads have been renamed "Moar of Shadows of Evil" and "Moar of Der Eisendrache", so all of my "Moar of..." threads align and can he searched easily. I have a Moar thread for each map except Gorod Krovi so far. 1.25.2019). Too often, I hear "The Giant is just DR reprinted, so go read up on that". But not everyone played WaW or the BO1 reprints, and the game is a little different now too, with Gobblegum, different weapon-types in old spots (Shotgun is on Thompson …

Hello Codz members! I spent a good amount of time on this theory and wanted to run it by the brilliant minds here at codz. I am pretty sure I already had someone point out an issue with my timelines. I am a strong believer right now that zombies exists in a multiverse. There are many different timelines that impact each other in different ways. What someone pointed out was "what about the difference in the world at war maps and the black ops 1 remakes?" Treyarch did say every map is cannon which means that there is some universe where our original fab four went to nacht and verruckt! I know this isn't the newest of information, but I really wanted to hear everyone's thou…

Basically, I believe The Giant is supposed too end the story for the original three characters (I think this has already been confirmed but I digress). Quite simply, my theory is this: After Origins, the survivors realised that although they had closed one loophole in the storyline by returning Maxis to Agartha and reuniting him with his daughter, another still remained- when Richtofen teleports Maxis and Samantha, Maxis will end up dead and Samantha in control of the zombies again, meaning that they group would have too travel to the future, to 1945, to prevent future Richtofen from enacting his plans. To do this, Richtofen offers to stay behind and, using the Elem…

Okay, lets get this out in the open. I don't think The Giant is going to be a remake. I think it's going to be a fully re imagined, totally expanded and blown up map. I think we still see the areas we've grown accustomed to, however I think that we will have far more access to those places that you should have been able to go to in the first release. The biggest deterring factor for me thinking this isn't just a remake, is that the last time Treyarch gave us classic maps, it was just that. MAPS. They gave us the entire WaW collection with the collectors editions, not just one map remade. Also the name change, of them actually calling it The Giant. None of the maps were …

Ok, so, this is extremely complex and has more questions than answers... (but hey, it's Zombies, since when hasn't than been the case?) But, here's a theory I haven't heard others really think about. If it's confusing, I apologize, frankly, it's hard enough for me to keep track of a lot of this info myself as the story is so wide and has so many unanswered questions. So, here we go: The final cut scene for Origins really has one sticking point to me that carries Origins to BO3 in Der Riese, that's Samantha telling Eddie one simple thing, that Maxis has a plan. Now, at that point, Samantha, "Eddie" and Maxis are all in the aether. Samantha having been there pret…

In the cutscene of Origins Eddie wishes their characters to be real and Sam says her dad has a plan. Now in the Giant trailer Richtofen from an entire different universe has appeared at the portal, which could mean that Maxis was trying to bring those 4 heroes into the real world, having already brought in the first 3 and Richtofen seemed to be the last one. Old Richtofen seemed to know who was coming out of the portal because he knows what Maxis was doing. Maxis and Sam have been sent to the other universe with the storyline we've been playing on previous maps with Sam in control etc. That's why Richtofen in Origins didn't know who Sam was because she's from an entire di…

Hey guys! So today with the world reveal of Black Ops III: Zombies we've seen some really really exciting stuff!! With the trailer for Shadows of Evil, new information from Comic-Con and the main thing i'm speaking of today the leaked "The Giant" Intro Cinematic and how I believe it'll be alluding to what could be happening all through Black Ops III Zombies. First i'm calling upon my fellow Comic Book geeks, how many of you know of Marvel's "Secret Wars" stories, in which multiple Universes(Marvel Universe, Ultimates Universe, etc) are colliding and are brought to a world called Battleworld(which is made up of a clump of each universe) and every character from every un…

Hi everyone! So I just finished watching the trailer and I realized a few points that some people have missed or haven't considered. -The rest of the Old Crew: Where are they? Shi no numa was the first place they were all introduced and from there, they somehow made it to Der Reise. When Takeo says to "awaken the rest of the test subjects", is it possible he didnt mean the Old Crew, but rather something else? -The clock STOPPED: Notice that once Maxis and Samantha are locked into the teleporter, the clock suddenly stops. Weird right? But in the original Der Reise, it does not stop. It merely keeps looping back to 1:15.Why is this important? Because there was a specif…

So me and my friend were playing on the giant and just so happened to come across writing on the mystery box. The writing seems to be steps of some sort. Some text looks like coding that we must dechiper. Here is a photo for you guys. This is my first post so no bashing but feel free to leave your opinon and comments!

In the trailer you can see that the old version of Richtofen has a plain red band on his arm. This bugs me, Treyarch seem to be skipping details of historical accuracy in order to make their games more politically correct. Does having the Swastika cause the game to be banned in certain countries or something?

In waw and bo1 Nikolai refers to the many wives hes had and killed in the past. Do you guys think this all happened in the same dimension or could it possibly be him somehow having knowledge of his other selves? After all the no4 seems to know of things that they shouldn't so Maby the o4 also new things they shouldn't of and we just didn't realize at the time. Plz share your thoughts below

Is it just me or is anyone else disappointed with the fact that there are no achievements or trophies for this map? It looks like such an awesome map, but it'd be a bummer to do a cool Easter egg and not get any credit for it. It seems like a direction they could possibly be going in is remastering the Black Ops 1 maps with the younger characters. DLC pack 1 being Kino, 2 being Ascension, 3 being Shangri La, and 4 being Moon. That's just speculation, but I hope if they did, they'd get some kind of achievement list.

I loaded up Der Riese with my friend last night and we spent a good hour at the teleporter near the MP40 trying to figure out how everything worked in the cutscene. While we were there, we found a lot of differences just too that one area. I think this is a sign of how drastically the map could change but I wanted to point out what had changed. This is probably going to be a wall of text but I don't have much time to go get pictures for it and I just wanted to point out some of the stuff I saw that I think passed under the radar a bit. The first big thing is where Nikolai is shooting, in the intro he is shooting zombies in that open location that we saw at the end of the…

The old Richthofen is killed by the younger Richthofen from the Origins Universe. He has to be infected with element 115, after experimenting on the subjects and teleporters. But when a 115-infected person dies, he turns into a zombie, and this doesnt seem to happen to the old Richthofen. Does anyone know why?

I'm not getting the game till next week since its my birthday and I have to make sure no one buys it for me, which I'm getting the hint they did. So knowing all the info is gonna be found by the time I gt my hands on it, I'm very open to searching for info and spoilers. And have been really looking forward to the Giant radios to start gaining some information that might start making sense ofthe weirdness that has taken over the story. So I've been searching for their release since yesterday and have heard a few. Spoiler One of the radios that sticks out is from Maxis talking about how Richtofen is theorizing time travel. Maxis says…

Greetings CoDz! A little over one week ago we got our first plays in of Black Ops 3, and boy were we excited. It had been an extra year longer in waiting than normal and the map director was confirmed to be the same as the mind behind Origins and Mob of the Dead, which in my opinion are the best playing map and the best feeling map respectively. Now that Shadows has finally been solved (probably) and The Giant is still looking pretty quiet I'd like to share my views on the map and read about your own. So first off the Easter Egg or lack thereof is extremely disappointing. I was really expecting an actual easter egg quest. Not just a…

Now I'm a little rusty in my understanding of the timeline of these people and when they died but I think there could be a chance of these people being more relevant in the story. I know that both Schuester and Dr Groph were there when Samantha ran into the MPD. So these character could have more relevance especially if origins Richtofen communicates with them to tell the changes they need to do at Griffin Station. Also about Peter McCain I'm not sure when he gets hanged or if Richtofen did it to him or he did it himself but I think it was after Richtofen teleports Samantha. So he could be invested in the new story as well. Maybe Origins Richtofen can use the fact Peter i…
