Research & Development
For those who wish to talk and discuss, or speculate, their ideas for upcoming Zombies maps.
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.

For map pack 3 I think were gonna go back to The Moon/Area 51 but I think they are going to expand both areas make griffen station bigger and maybe a tunnel to another station or maybe you can actually travel across the moon to the dark side of the moon which was a big conspricy when we the U.S first landed in the moon and also expand area 51 more and I believe for a fact the O4 and Phd will be back for the last 2 mappacks I think they keep the N4 in tranzit and DieRise then they did the actors for mp2 as suspected so the only way they top mp2 is by bringing our O4 back to do thier sides of the easter egg

Hello everyone this is my first post I have been reading a lot but I don't think anyone has mentioned this. In the trailer for revolution there is not one single time that they show Marlton. there is a zombie that looks very similar to Marlton but what could this mean. I will post a picture if I can find one.

I don't normally make speculative storyline theories as this could be completely wrong & pointless, but... This idea was sparked by a thread I posted on Celestial Spheres & a comment from @Difintel.

This is my first theory, and I'm not sure if this has been said before. What if, Tranzit's NDU isn't just there to bring the map to somehow fit in the story, but it's for us to foreshadow that the next 3-4 DLCs zombies maps will have the original four maps somewhere in them?

Right so I've been away for a wee while, and talks of some metal dude appearing in the next dlc is increasing. So my question is what did we know of him before? Any links, info etc would be appreciated.

I got thinking (dangerous, I know) about the idea of having more spin-off/fun maps in future zombies to come to keep the community occupied given the wait between Treyarch releases is now every 3rd year. These maps could either be related, or just maps that go between map packs as they have been doing these past couple seasons, and knowing 3arc, it would probably have some relation to what's going on or it may not, either way would be fine with me. Basically, take maps like Call of the Dead, Mob of the Dead or even Nuketown Zombies. Filler maps mostly, but they have some relevant EE's and references to when and what's going on. It would be nice if after 3arc's next se…

(Original Thread) (The following is a transcription of a video by me on the same topic. This was written with permission and in collaboration with Eric and so I feel it is appropriate to give it the same name.) Prior to housing the Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary, Alcatraz Island was held in high regard by the Native American People, and elements of the Aztec mythology permeates the entire map. The most obvious reference, other than the setting of the map itself, is the Hell’s Retriever - a Tomahawk - this being a stereotypical native american hand-axe, however the connections run far deeper than this. First noted by Eric Maynard on May 23 2013…

Alright, so come 2015, what are we getting right off the bat? Are we going to a desert, a carnival, a beach? The dimensional void? Gallifrey? Truth is no one knows for sure… What I'm going to do is take EVERYONE's favorite locations, and form a list of the top 30 places. The top 7 locations I'm going to make map predictions for… Bout time I got back into that saddle… NOW! How this will work is everyone can suggest any type of map. Two people suggest the same map it's added to the list. The more people vote or suggest for that kind of map the higher up the list it goes. Once we reach 30 maps I will give 10 days before voting stops, then c…

So, For BO3, I've decided to condense most of my ideas into one post I'll make weekly. I'll have a topic of the week, but it will always be about BO3 info. Week 1: June-5th : This week's topic: Movement A lot of speculation has come up about the movement system. Vonderharr has stated that every MP map will be designed to accommodate both the new movement system, and regular run-and-gun gameplay. No map can't be accessed completely by normal jumps. It's also HOPEFULLY a given that zombies will be given a movement system that DOESN'T have ANY type of boost. This leads me to believe that MOVEMENT WISE, we won't be seeing much of the thrust-jumps. Infact, I don't …

Moon was originally Paris as many know however I recently watched Playthegamecentral's A Drowning in Paris and I hope they bring back Moon in Black Ops 2 but retexture the map to recreate the original Paris idea. An example of reskinning a map would be studio, that is a reskinned version of Firing Range! A Drowning in Paris http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLFnJsrsiis Like or Dislike? :D

I am hoping that Treyarch will give us the customization we thought we would be getting with post launch. I expected to see things such as, no rebuilding barriers, knife only, pistols only, box rolls certain guns or rolls grenades only (hehehe), things like that. I think the customization we have now is dull and stupid...Nothing really worth playing custom games unless you just want to screw around with your friends. And then I wish they would add private matches/games so that we can actually do high rounds with a set number of friends whether it be two, three, or four. I'm tired of trying to do a challenge with one other friend and begging randoms to leave. Tis is s…

The MOTD/SOE/Main story Connection [ Thesis ] The companion Video for the Thesis. Has all the pics in a downloadable form. Look for them in the description. Welcome back. Today I have a very special theory I came up with at work last Friday. It involves Mob of the Dead. Shadows of evil and how it would answer many questions we have about the zombies storyline if it can be confirmed. However the clue that made me actually want to dive deeper into the rabbit hole is one fact about Shadows of Evil. 1940’s. I’ve been discussing it with an old forum buddy known as Syphon. We’ve been swapping info and then we both came up with this theory together. There is also a vide…

I usually never speculate as to what could be coming next this early, is because, well its so unpredictable at times, but I've had this thought bouncing in my head for some time now and I figured I might as well mention it before it becomes A: irrelevant, or B: right? So I've read a few threads based on the idea of Atlantis and I thought it was a pretty neat story arc that would be interesting to discover. I thought how much harder would that be then die rise. And I have been thinking to myself how much Die Rise reminds me of Kowloon; the MP map from Map Pack 1. I tried to remember if there were any easter eggs or little shout outs to zombies in Kowloon. I…

Basically, Pack a Perk (or a another name that someone could think of ) is a machine which upgrades perks when you upgrade the perk it will cost you the same price as the un-upgraded perk's price,I think this would be a great addition as later rounds can get a little boring. these I think are logical suggestions for the upgrades for the perks: Juggernog: Faster health regeneration Speed Cola: Faster when switching between weapons, throwing grenades,knifing (kind of like scout pro),I don't think that faster ADS would be too useful. Quick Revive: When you are downed you have Mustang and Sallys (like solo) to help your team mates revive you (I Haven't …

Hey Guys, I have seen a few guys and gals talking about having content as part of DLCs. Guns and stuff. I can't stress how strongly that this is a bad idea. Zombies mode is meant to be simple. Each and every game you start the same way. There should be no way of starting with anything extra, be it via a purchased weapon or as a result of your ranking. The point is that a brand new player, can get to rank 1. If you start introducing different weapons for those that spend, that just goes out the window. If you introduce this, you will ruin zombies for multiple people. Unless it's done within custom matches, maybe that would be fine. I have friends …

In my mind we all know how the undead came to be, Which is Der Riese or The Giant Facility. Dr Ludvig Maxis was working on super soldier and teleportation experiments with a once sane man by the name of Dr. Edward Richtofen. Anyways, on to my theory. I will even include the awesome theory I heard about a cross dimensional rift that was happening after the teleporter's overload with the WonderWaffle Die Glocke (The Bell) 2, and whoever posted why guns are important to the story, I support it. Anyways, my theory supporting this is after so much time travel a hole was ripped in the space time continuum and all years (except 1932-1934 due to this happening before the telepor…

I have been thinking about something. There are many silhouettes without names, and faces without names. People have come up with many theories about these people, but there is one that I have not seen. What if they're all the same person. The silhouettes on the Nacht Der Untoten loading screen would be the first time that they showed up. This makes them the FIRST character introduced. Even before the Fab Four. A certain piece of evidence that they are the same person is the fact that they are connected with the Fab Four in Shi No Numa, and again with the portraits in Kino Der Toten. In fact, they're really all over the place. They'r…

This thread is just something I'm going to be working on indefinitely, just going to post ideas here that don't deserve a thread of their own. Just comment and tell me if you like them or not. Perks: Tele Port Cost: 3500 Use: While you have this perk, each round you will gain what is called a "Marker". You can only have 1 Marker at a time. These points go to the down button on the D-Pad, where you can Use them to place a marker. Once you have placed a marker it will stay for the duration of the game, however you can only have one in use at a time. When you go down with a Marker placed, when you are revived or bleed out, you will appear at the Marker. This will c…

First off, I am a complete noob here, so don't judge me too harshly for this post. Now, to business. My theory with the Nav Cards also goes hand in hand with what we know from the tranZit game mode on Green Run. In particlar, the ability for the game to save certain data. This is shown by the ability to save money in the bank, store weapon in the fridge, table stays built in the corn maze, etc. If you look into this theory a little deeper, the game manages to keep track of multiple transactions at the bank (taking money out and putting in multiple times each game) as well as remembering exactly the gun you placed in the fridge (upgraded or not, ammo count, …

This is how you release a stand-alone zombie game base on alternate game modes of previous games. New story content. Add more old content, animations, weapons. Update graphics. Support loyalty. Add characters. Let you pick who you want to play as. Customize weapons, loadout, difficulty. Remaster everything. http://store.steampowered.com/app/301640/ I'm going to buy this to tide me over. I never played it because I didn't want the standard sniper gameplay. But this I can get into.
