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.

Massive credit to @EricMaynardand his source for locating this work which would have been earth-shattering back in the day. To recap, a friend of Eric located old art assets intended for BO1 Kino back in 2010 through one of the game's art director's portfolios. It's possible this was under some kind of NDA, considering it has not surfaced until now. It is a reasonable assumption that these images were going to appear on the projector rather than the images we see now (the scientist in the lab, the eyeball, and the zombies coming over the hill.) So let's go over what we're seeing and what these images could have meant. These first two images seem to…

Okay. Since Call of the Dead takes place in the future further than any other map currently created, and I assume they continue the story from Black Ops zombies, and since Moon was the end of Earth, the Crew must go BACK in time and prevent the rockets from propelling into Earth, somehow. Maybe they blow up the Moon? :shock: Speculation is in the air. And I assume you're already going to say something about the girl with the shotgun. My answer to that is maybe it's Richtofen out of the Aether some how. The crew may have figured out how to swap their souls again. Another farfetched reason, is because the longer you have your soul transferred into another human's vessel is…

Okay I've gone down a bit of a rabbit hole in the CIA servers and am at a loss and also my head hurts so here's what I've got: On October 24, 1955 Vannevar Bush sends a message to J. Robert Oppenheimer with poems written by John "Banana" which were recovered at Verruckt. Here's an excerpt from that message: DK-MFK is a hint on how to login to the CIA account of someone named D. King. When you log into his account, you find only one irrelevant email that was sent to all users about cupcakes. However, he has many .txt files that contain haikus, and one image. The haikus are related to missions in the campaign, basically explaining what happens in each, with …

Is it coincidence that Mob of the Dead, introducing us to the concept of an eternal cycle, was released between the Victis maps? Let's start with the hypothesis: No, it is not. Mob showed us very clearly and directly what was going on in Tranzit, Die Rise and Buried: The characters stuck in an endless loop. A bit more far away, but even Tranzit itself can be seen as a metaphor for this idea, as the map itself is one big cycle with the characters trapped in it. T.E.D.D. told us all along: "Error. Error. Bus transponder not operational. Default into program route cycle" - TEDD The first argument for this theory was brought up by @RadZakpak in his thr…

As much as I love the idea of 8 player zombies, I really don't want the new characters to ruin zombies storyline. I've come to love the four characters we play as now! Adding more players would be great, but I just think Treyarch need to pay a super amount of attention to the zombies storyline (not that they didn't last time!). Also the idea of a separate story mode for zombies sounds very exiting! Let me know your thoughts? -AnIMaL

I've heard a lot of theories about what became of our original crew, so here's mine. One of the achievements for the large Easter Egg in Moon was named "Cryogenic Slumber Party", so I believe that somewhere unseen on Griffin Station, Tank, Nikolai, Takeo and Sam found some Cryogenic Stasis Chambers and jumped in them in an attempt to escape the never ending fight against the Z's. If this happened, if and when we encounter them in the new time period (TranZit, Die Rise,) which is believed to be at least a couple of decades after moon, they would not have aged at all. In summary, I believe that we will encounter our original heroes, who will be the same age t…

*UPDATE 9/18* Updated the original timeline Origins in full, will update with the new timeline Origins at the end of the thread. Mob of the dead will remain as is for now. Stay tuned. Thanks Shooter As Al frees the other mobsters and they prepare to leave the cell block, a moan grabs their attention. After Ferguson was killed, his soul left his body and traveled to the Aether. With his lifeless body left in the cell block and a new cycle being started, the mobsters are now faced with a new challenge as the prison quickly begins to change. Ferguson lifeless body has been transformed by The Controller, and the first zombie is born. …

1. I was wondering about this today: where do origins and mob of the dead happen on the timeline? Like not the actual dates but when they happen in the story? Is origins before moon and mob is before everything? 2. Can someone give me a list of the maps in chronological order in terms of when they happen in the story please. 3. Now instead of the other questions that were asking when stuff happened in the story, can someone link the thread where it had the date and location of each map?

So this thought recently ocurred to me regarding the easter egg quest of Call of the Dead and the events following Moon. Now from context clues we've gathered Call of the Dead is in 2011, or at least sometime around then due to the use of real life actors. Basically a pretty modern time. Then from context clues we gather Green Run takes place sometime during or after the 1960s, as that is when Moon takes place. Now my confusion is, they go to 2011 to gather the golden rod and have to power the teleporter in the locked room, then they go to the 1960s-era Moon and send missiles down to Earth creating a complete hellhole called Green Run. …

Back when Classified came out and textures were mined from the game, we realized that the Pack a Punch camo for the map could be one of five images, with three of them being blueprints for the Ray Gun, the Ray Gun Mk2, and the Monkey Bomb. The remaining two were collages of Intel documents from the Black Ops Campaign. Understandably, most people skipped over these because Black Ops Intel had been read and analyzed a long time ago. But after a closer inspection, there may be something more here. Here are the two images in the highest quality I could find: As far as I can tell, the two images are identical, just color inverted. On the surface they j…

Yesterday I was just spit-balling some ideas regarding the Nova Crawlers with @Mattzs, trying to reconcile the old theory that they are related to the Keepers in some way with the new information that their bodies were once pigs. I have a theory that might have some broader implications on the history of humanity and its relation to the Keepers, so bear with me for a bit. Let's start with the crawlers themselves. Here we have some extra info about them from Classified: Notice how the pig is labeled as pre-transformation, while the final nova crawler is labeled as post-transformation. The crawlers are certainly pigs that have been genetically …

After listening to the gameover song a bit, it reminded me a lot of Egyptian music, and that got me thinking: could the next map be in Egypt? if so here are some ideas: Time:late evening Fog---> becomes open desert, or a sandstorm, no denizens but harder to see or possibly traps/quicksand in the desert... Not as much desert either as green run... In certain areas, the "fog" is replaced by water and can become hazardous if you leave the shallow area, as zombies and other nusenses can pop up from the depts of one of the few water-areas left on earth... Wonder weapon: 115-entrusted scepter and crop, duel wield, scepter acts as a missile and blows up …

I find it more than likely that one of the future pit stops for our new heroes is Paris. Think about it: Treyarch canceled Paris in order to go through with Moon, so part pf the map would already be complete. A big reason, Paris would be an ideal place for Richtofen and Maxis, not only because it would be fun, but because there could be another obelisk, the Eiffel Tower. Maxis claims that there are other spires that need to be online, and it would make sense if the Eiffel Tower was one of them. Now, a theory I've come up with (thanks to the TEDD the bus driver) would be a HAARP (high-frequency active aroural research program; weather machine) facility. The spire …

i have a theory that i want to test out, give some feedback i believe that maxis needs the tower of babble to stop richtofen but also to recreate himself. there is quote that maxis states near the start of the TranZit EE. Maxis Quote: "... i cannot effect physical change, yet...". maybe maxis needs the tower to change his physical state. maxis talks of a trichotomus system, i looked up the definition of trichotomy and found a definition stating 'the division of a human being in to three parts; body, soul and spirit. Proof: http://m.dictionary.com/d/?q=trichotomy maybe maxis needs the tower to complete physical change. but many will say; maxis said 'the tri…

I have been doing some thinking, as I'm sure pretty much everyone on this forum and COD zombie lovers do as always. Before Black Ops 2 came out there were a lot of voices saying that they wanted to see new characters. Also many voices were saying that they wanted to see more players be possible in new maps. Treyarch as always does a very good job at listening to the community and what it wants. The developers likely did not want to have the first few maps have the original 4 and 4 new characters thrown in. It would by no means allow the new characters to develop their personalities as well. We all know the original 4 are a staple of COD zombies. The original 4 would …

LNc4nWYDiMk This post is based on evidence found in the past games and the latest tweets from people at Tryarch who work on zombies. Lets get started... The next zombies map, if all the evidence is correct, will be in the United Kingdom. Most people are pointing at Northen Ireland. Why? Because in the past 24 hours the creators of zombies have been tweeting out a lot of pictures about what we believe to be Ireland roads and buildings. If this is correct, then we could be getting the next zombies map here. What drew people to the idea of United Kingdom in the first place is Jimmy Z twitter bio, which has been up ever since the launch of Die Ri…

While comic 4 gave us an, on least said, interesting new loading screen, namely a new Kino der Toten loading screen, I have seen no discussion about it. Time to change that! On the first, normal loading screen, we see the zombie universe: The universe in which element 115 exists. In the first panel we see zombies in the unknown bunker of Nacht der Untoten. Panel number 2 shows the Verruckt Asylum on Tiergarternstraße 4 WITH zombies. On the third panel we see zombies in the Rising Sun facility and in panel 4 we see zombies in Der Riese Waffenfabrik, surrounding our four heroes, who teleport away and start their journey, which can be seen in the last panel.

YEEEEEEY!!! Here we are again (gotta admit Raddyo, you made me feel a li'l bit guilty with your User of the Year comment :p), so let's start straight ahead! The Illuminati, a faction of which, while appearing in the background the entire time, we know very little of. Their first indirect appearance was already in World at War’s second map, Verruckt, and the Timeline tells us that they even were involved in maps of the latest Zombies game, Black Ops 4. Were they, like history tells us, an order of important scientists striving for a more open, enlighted society? Or were they, like various conspiracy theories tell us, an evil secret society infiltrating every in…

The Zombies story is filled with countless secretive, sinister organizations all following twisted agendas. One of these organizations that is often forgotten is the Majestic 12, introduced in the first chapter of the Black Ops series. Not to be confused with the Hateful 8, the Majestic 12 is a purported organization that appears in UFO conspiracy theories. It is claimed to be the code name of an alleged secret committee of scientists, military leaders, and government officials to facilitate recovery and investigation of extraterrestrial beings and technology. It was formed in 1947 by an executive order by American president Harry S. Truman to facilitate recovery and inve…

For the first time ever, I purchased Black Ops 3 and 4 on Xbox One. I didn't make the switch to One until late 2017 and by then I had forgotten about buying Black Ops 3 or eventually getting 4. So to say the least, I really had no idea what's been going on for five years. I heard how Black Ops 4 ended and kinda knew what was happening in Black Ops 3. I've watched many lore videos and read many quotes. I'm starting to put things together but there's still a few things I do not understand. What I am really trying to comprehend is certain events in Black Ops 3. How did Primis get to The Giant and how did they get on the ship in the beginning of Zetsubou No Shima? Is every ma…
