Shangri-La
A legendary shrine lost in an exotic jungle. Where the undead lurk within a treacherous labyrinth of underground caverns, deadly traps and dark secrets.
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.

Possibly some people are overlooking this. Since der riese, we have had the theater and lighthouse zombie map. The only one left is the Parisian map with the Eiffel Tower. Those ferns from the CoTD loading screen, could be the next map. But there could be ferns in Paris right? Isnt Paris a city with lots of plants anyway? I dont know, but im just chucking out different theories for discussion

The PM-63 has been in every Black Ops zombie map so far, but how many of you actually use it? To me it's just a redundant weapon that could be replaced with a more interesting weapon. I mean, we already have the Spectre, MPL, MP5k, and AK74u. Is there really room for another SMG? To give you a good idea, here's a list of all omitted weapons in zombies (from SP and MP): KS-23 Enfield AK-47 Skorpion Mac11 Uzi Kiparis M60 Stoner63 WA2000 PSG1 RPG Model 1887 Mosin-Nagant PPSh-41 MG42 Sten and honestly, i'd rather have any of these weapons than the PM-63. Even if another SMG was absolutely necessary, why not another SMG like the…

Okay, so we all know the Easter Egg gives you all 7 perks forever. The problem with this on solo is the function of Quick Revive. If you always got Quick Revive back after being downed, the game would never end.

My belief is that the JGB is actually a coded co-ordinate. 31-79 JGB215 (J=10) (G=7) (B=2), you get 31-79 1072215, jumble up a little and you can get 31 1.072 ---79 2.15 . When put into google maps, you get a place not registered in the Himalayas of China known for being called Shaingri-la. Just a ideal i was informed of, all credit goes to playthegameco, Have a nice day. [brains]

This is just a short little theory that I wanted to share with you all, but I think it will help some people out and maybe even cause a little discussion. In Shangri-La, we see that 115 is everywhere. In my belief, the Asian people who are there were supposed to mine the Element so that it could be harvested and used. The problem with that is how a person would get the Element back to Der Riese or wherever the intended target is at, so Dr. Maxis created a solution by creating the shrink ray so that they could easily transport it back to a compound for usage. I don't personally believe that they made it so that it could shrink zombies to be kicked Feel free to commen…

I seen that Alpha asked for these in another thread and I thought I would post them here for everyone to see. Another thing that I found interesting was that, when someone that isn't richtofen picks the stone up, when everyone dies richtofen says, "Now that you aren't using that stone, I'll be taking it, MUHAHAHAHAHAHAH!" That stone was something he seriously wanted.

Hey guys, Tac here and I've been reworking this thread since I released it a couple years ago. Originally, I presented evidence for why Shangri-La was on Mars, but since then I've realized that they're merely connected and while Shangri-La may have once been on Mars, it likely isn't while we play. Because of this, I want everyone to realize that the OP has changed and so when reading the comments, realize that at the time of creation, there was less evidence than when you're currently reading this Shangri-La has always been a map that is shrouded in mystery and we have all been intrigued by it at one point or another. As some of us may have seen, Treyar…

The Trinity - Super, Chopper & Tom's guide to Shang 100 p1 The preface - Only 3 people have gotten to 100 on this map, at least with visible proof. 1 used a spawn train, and 2 used the MPL area. I had always wanted to do a single 100, and decided recently that Shang was going to be the one for me. Super coincidentally was planning to do it at the same time as me, as was Tom. Eye did want to try and play it but was unfortunately not able to get around to doing any testing. Tom, Super and I spent a weekend 'testing' basically. We all wanted to run the AK area and so we looked at different ways of doing things. During the last week there must have been …

THE TRINITY - SUPER, CHOPPER & TOM'S GUIDE TO SHANG ROUND 100 PART 2 This part of the guide will focus on rounds 40-100, when the spawns are fast and our quick rinse-and-repeat AK & Semtex areas strategy will come into full effect. For part one, click HERE. SUPERHANDS' WRITTEN GUIDE So, you’re now at round 40 and the spawns are really rapid. Time to change our strategy to a nice, quick one to take advantage of this! Let’s take another look at the video for reference here; the strategy is fully demonstrated, and a full round 99 playthrough shows it’s consistency: As you can see, we start in the Semtex room to lessen the spaw…

My theory for this map is, ritchtofen is traveling here, to shangri-la, because he would be immortal. On Wikipedia it says shangri-la is some kind of like south American Mayan paradise outside of earth, which the inhabitants are immortal. So ritchtofen decides to ravel here because he knows that the earth is going to be over run by zombies. My guess is that 115 got their first, and experimented on the inhabitants or something like that, thus creating the super zombie flamer thing. The monkey are there because well, it's south American. That's my theory thanks for reading!! Post comment, I'll always take constructive criticism to make my posts better!! 8-)

in the area where the mine cart is their is a radio next to a gong in that area if you listen to it Gary and Brock are looking for the temple.Once they get their they discover the buttons they press them and the sound of the teleportation activates now this is where zombies come. The zombies only came out during the eclipse so once the time runs out the zombies come back to present time spreading everywhere. Now i know all the easter eggs and even myself thinks this is far fetched saying that group 935 created them but what if this is true and group 935 was working on old tech and shangri-la was where it started please share your ideas

My theory on the moving statue is that when you tun the power in, and look at the statue, you stand on a panel that has and 8sided star, and a death skull, these panels are throughout the map, so my theory is that you have to step on these panels in the right order, and it will turn the statues, maybe something to do with focusing stone **when you step on a panel, that isn't right it stops all moving panels and you have to wait till next Round**

I did not understand what the importance of Shangri-La was then after lokking around i found something interesting the mines around the temple are filled with 115 if you cant find it just look around theres blocks of it everywhere So i started to think about what this meant and how it links to the story i came up with 2 possibilities 1) The nazis found it and used it as a supply of 115 which explains the mine an how richtofen knows so much about it OR 2) The 115 is what allows the temple to be used as a teleporter which explains how the crew arrived at the temple and how they time travel when you activate the eclipse as we know that 115 powers the teleporte…

Sorry to dissapoint, but there isn't any easter egg for Shangri La in solo. Think about it, if you have had the focusing stone after completing the egg, you know you get all 7 perks. Here's where common sense should kick in. Because those 7 perks are PERMANENT, it would make no sense to let you do that in solo. If you did, you could just play round by round until you can't do no more. So you could reach over 100 rounds (if you could stay awake long enough) and hardly feel like you had done anything because you can't die. It'd be cool though!

The kinda feeling I had when I started understanding the backstory and everything else. After Call of the dead, I swore I wouldn't buy another map pack, due to the fact that I don't play multiplayer.

I'm pretty shure most of you noticed this but, I love the fact you can look, then aim at the special zombies, and your characters call them out for your team mates. I am by far very proud with this because if somebodys mic dies or something, They can still here it being on the map I really would like to see this in the remaining maps that are ever gonna come out. I really do..... I just can't begin to explain how god damn serious this is its basically like having a kinect built in the game, such a ingenious idea that other shooters need.
