General Zombies Discussion
Come here to talk about aspects of Zombies that just don't seem to fit into other sections.
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.

Yo yo yo, I'm trying to work something out and I'm struggling, so I'm asking all CODZ for help. Max spawn speed is from round 48 and upwards. We know from all the maps that 22/23 seconds is the absolute fastest that anyone can get a hoard, anywhere. My question is more specific. After how long do you estimate that all zombies are spawned into their assigned locations. Ie, if you were to time it, and were doing spawn control past level 50 how long would you need to stay in an area to ensure they are all spawned in? Brain, brains, brains for answers! I'm struggling to find a way to test this ingame somehow. For a start level 50 testing is not norma…

I know this would belong to PC, but since I'll get 0 answers / 2 views in PC section, I request this being in General Gameplay for few days. Then it can be moved. Hi I got some new freaky keyboard and mouse. It allows me to program macros. A macro is just a series of inputs that are given to your gaming system. For example, I press my mouse xy special button, and what happens is I go ADS, give 8 pistol shots at max or almost max pace, and then i'll knife. Plus it presses "repair window" all the time of the sequence (I don't press it, the macro does it for me). That's just what I need for Round 2. However, in case I go out of ammo, I press "G12" on my ke…

okay so in cotd its soposedly in the present right well if that's true then the outbreak has already begun and is pretty much everywhere, now why would you make a zombie movie in a place where 115 is known to be and i am assuming the outbreak is already in America by now,and in ascension when you unleash that man where does he go? he could've either gone up with the big man or it was a trap from Samantha? and in five by then wouldn't they have known about the out break because this is all after world at war so they should've known(i know JFK new but the way the others acted i am not sure whether they knew or not?). please reply and thank you for viewing this ED…

Just want a quick bit of advice from the 100 club. I'm pretty anal about hoard counts when I'm playing solo. Do you think this will help or hinder me in my first actual attempt at 100?

Hi everyone who likes zombie mode, I want to start various challenges. For example, viewtopic.php?f=90&t=20816 But the results and rankings are not logged anywhere. So I would like start creating a leader board for such challenges. At first, I will aggregate the information and if you have some proposals and comments, please let me know. 1. What challenges are there? For example, that is first room challenge at each map. 2. What is the proof of a challenge result? Videos and photographs as a proof of record. This proof will be displayed to ranking as URL. When the ranking spreads to all of the world, in the future, I want to propose the ranking to …

Still, some of you may want the individual attention of a hypothetical specific game situation, some of you may have specific habit you'd like to break, or maybe you were in a situation that you want to handle better next time. Think of this as one of my presents to you guys, a place where you can come to just hang out and present to us your advice. I hope that you guys will spread the word that anyone having trouble with their game can come here to talk to me about specific details of what they need to work on. In addition, it probably won't be just me; I can guarantee that your favorite strategist will be here to help you out as well. Think of this …

This public announcement is brought to you by the one and only, Monopoly Mac. I’m not as good as Eye at making motivational speeches but I’m going to take a crack at it. For the past few weeks or months, I’ve been suffering from writer’s block and a lack of ideas. These aren’t the only things that have been stalling me however. I also have this tiny fear in the back of my head that anything I write would be too far-fetched for Treyarch to come up with. Perhaps one of you have been suffering from these fears. Well I have to come to tell you that I've had a massive realization. You don't need to care about things like this because Treyarch aren't the creators …

Hey its 5and5 First I would like to say I don't think any console is actually "better" than a gaming PC. But there are some major difference's between the xbox/ps3 version of Black Ops and the PC version. These difference's are very favorable to xbox/ps3, thus the title. Ok to what they are, well basically on xbox when you are holding a pistol you move at 110% speed in all directions, right? So on PC dont you think it would be the same, wrong. On pc if you are holding a pistol you will move at 110% looking forwards but if you turn around and look backwards towards the zombies your speed will drop down to 80% (not 100% sure on this number but that's what it feels like…

Hi. Just watched Terminator 2 the other day. What is Arnold Schwarzenegger using, when he stands at the window in the Cyberdine Systems office, to make a mess out of the police? A Minigun and a grenade launcher. In real life, definitely two beasts of guns. I instantly had to compare those two guns in zombies. Deathmachine, a nice killing utility till 30. But the China Lake, useless already at maybe 10. Therefore this question came up: What would you think if the China Lake stays as it is, except for it's damage. What if it would do a damage similar to Scavenger? It's explosion radius is smaller, you must have a very compact horde and aim very carefully, if …

Hoping I can help new players with this, because I've sure had problems with choosing in the past but I've gotten past them. Ak- Ammo- Clip 20 reserve 160. (un- pap'd) Cost-1200 Firing mode: Full auto Pap value: 7/10. Better sights and more ammo, that's really it. Good for Ascension, Kino (alley strat only), and call of the dead and moon. Not good for: Five. It is too hard to run back and get ammo for, unless you specialize in running through the basement. M16- Ammo: clip 30, reserve 120. (un pap'd) Cost- 1200. Firing mode- 3 round burst, automatic when pack a punched Pap value- 10/10. Full auto, lots of power, and more ammo. Not to me…

Cancelling out their ability to pack-a-punch, what do you think is the worst weapon out of the box? I would say the Ballistic Knife with the China Lake being a close second. The Ballistic Knife is good for early rounds when your just taking out zombies individually, but when your starting to make trains, this weapon is useless. The low ammo is a pain, the difficulty of killing the zombies takes forever, and even trying to get your knife back is hard too, because they are probably still stuck in the zombie. Now, on to the China Lake. It's good when taking out a max train, but like those gas crawlers, they disorient you, which is a heavy disadvantage for the weapon. And it …

Big news here. The DoA world record was achieved as the result of using a glitch. The question now becomes whether the use of this glitch was justified or not. Before you tell me that no glitch is right watch this video. In this game there is a game ending glitch of the invisible cosmic silverback. It sounds crazy, but when this glitch happens the silverback runs around on a non boss round and can kill you (because you can't see him). Watch the blue guy and see how he gets killed by seemingly nothing. Also watch at 2:15 in the top right. corner where zombies are randomly killed and thrown into the air. The evidence is indisputable, there is a glitched invisible silv…

We all know about the connection between five and ascension. But I just saw something very interesting. The clocks on five are all stuck on 10:05. And I just saw the clocks on call of the dead were on the same time. Maybe this could be a connection, or it also could just mean that treyarch is too lazy to put on a different time. The only thing I can think of that would disprove this theory would be that FIVE takes place in the '60s and I believe that cotd takes place in present time.

You don't have a mic, they can't hear you, there's only one left alive (not including you). You only have Stamin-Up. You have 950 points. The box is in the AK Room, the map is Shangri-La. All the doors are open. Your name is P1. He is P3. He is a major troll, but he is also the host. He has been insulting your significant other the entire game and thinks he is a beast player. He said he was the best on the team but he has 7 downs, your friend has 2. You have 11. It's round 38, this would be your new high, as well as your best friend's new high. You hit the box once, completely out of ammo and grenades, you get the Ray Gun. He runs into the power room with a fu…

(SPECIAL THANKS TO MEGA for placing this in the correct forum.)(Credit goes where it should, you know who you are) In another thread labeled Wonder Weapon Ideas, I began a post that I feel was cut short because I didn't want to clog the current topic. In this topic I will expand on said idea with pictures and better explanation. Wonder Attachment Machine This machine will be similar to attachment machines previously mentioned, but offers a nice twist. All attachments are unaffected by PaP. Being as some guns will already have attachments, (i.e. Aug, M16, M14, etc.) I will make the necessary notes on each attachment showing compatability. Infra-Dead HAMR Sights:…

Here in sunny Pennsylvania flowers are blooming and girls in short shorts are flooding, I have decided it is the perfect tome to discuss the defining moments in our gameplay. There are many moments in my short zombie slaying career but a few stand out. My first PAP, reaching round 30, my first glitch......etc. But one moment will always stay with me. After finally being able to reach round 30 solo (only after reading Superhand's five solo guide and Tom's five looping video) I find myself struggling with co-op. One December encounter with three other randoms changed everything. None of us at the time reached over 16 co-op on five. No one used their mi…

I am amazed by the effort of certain gamers. They are dedicated and hard working in achieving their goals. I see a bit of those qualities in myself as a person, but not as a gamer. At work I fit the typical hard nosed no non-sense white collar. I constantly hand out pink slips due to lack of effort. As a gamer I am not motivated, disorganized, and sloppy. The only thing I try to do in a game is present myself in a positive manner. Does your game reflect you as a person? Does how you play the game mirror the type of person you are?

just noticed/thought of this.. the moon on Der Reise is very dark on the front side and there is so much light coming from the "dark side" of the moon... this has to have some significance... sorry if this had been covered before. but especially the difference between the way the moon looks on ascension and how it looks on der reise..? i wonder if there is significance there or just coincidence

I have now officially achieved a higher round of zombies in a co-op game than anyone else on the site! The old record was held by Selectyeti somewhere in the 90s. In my game I made it to round 120! We lost because three not-so-friendly monkeys were mad at us. Here is the video 8D Skip to 16:40 for the boss fight (if you even call it a fight...) sLULEXP1bjI

So as I commented in a different thread, I think the idea of collecting a series of items spread around the map used to build and create different traps would be a really cool option in future maps. I thought a little about this before and since Ascension, traps have kinda felt a bit useless. Either that, or some maps don't even have actual traps! I never spent much money on traps personally, always found them to be either too expensive or just a waste of points. I'd mess around when I basically was at a high enough round, I had more points than I knew what to do with anyways and would blow them on traps. And even still then, some of the traps have kinda started rep…

Sitting in my office in gloomy Pennsylvania, I find the stock market today a lot like my game, bad and down a lot. Although I am still kicking myself for not getting more Apple last week. I find the game play of COD to be somewhat boring at this point. FPS has reign the gaming industry for a good part of the 21 century. Most of us had played games similar from Medal of honor, resistance or halo, to the COD series. The same gaming experience has evolved slower than our interest level. The FPS concept varied so little that if you are good in one game, you could pick up a new game and not miss a beat. Madden football for years sparked my interest. In college …

"I knew I was a good player when I got to 36 on COTD with JamesZombiKiller, with only 3 downs on a 1-bar connection." ~Ehjookayted Hopefully you guys can share some of your anecdotes. If you don't think you're good yet, then post what you'd like to be able to do that would give you that confidence to say, "I am a good zombies player." This isn't meant to be cocky or flaunt skills, just to throw modesty aside for once, and be honest. We have some great players on this site, and while humility is nice, sometimes we just ask for compliments via denial. Am I right? 8-) I'm just kidding. Let's share some stories and reminisce!

Hello. I made a speed run guide, showing a full gameplay speed run on Ascension. I've tried to keep all the tips in general, so that you can adapt this strategy for other maps. The speed run is not executed perfectly, so that you can actually set it as your challenge, to make this even faster.

Zombies could be or not be over. Nobody knows for sure. But if it isn't, and there was an ending, how do you think it would end? I have different ideas. 1. This is all in someone's head. Like maybe Richtofen, Samantha, or Maxis just imagined a zombies infestation. But that seems to extreme. 2. What if Hitler was behind everything? What if after he was killed by the Russians during World War 2, he came back as a zombie and it turns out the real reason he researched the undead, was for him. 3. Maybe the gang go back in time and stop Ricthofen and Maxis from conducting the experiments, kinda like a campaign. These are just some ideas. Please share some o…
