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.

Ok so for the longest time we have assumed that the Mysterious MPD is how we control the Aether and how we control the Zombies. However what if I told you there was another possibility we have never actually assumed possible but could be possible? 3 people have used the MPD in our storyline The first was Samantha Maxis The Original Richtoen And Dr. maxis harnessed the powers indirectly but he did use it at one point Now. What exactly does the MPD do? For Samantha it gave her control of the Undead. However for Richtofen it did not seem to have the same effect. Richtofen;s control was limited however he was able to revive people,as well as get in contact…

The topic of Buildables is a very touchy subject. Many many people don't like them because of the fact that they can be too OP, worthless, or just too tedious to get. I will tell you how they can vastly improve if they return in the next zombie installment. Step 1:The Formula-Mob of the Dead and Origins did great with the formula but how would it work with maps like Buried you ask? I will tell you how. Each Buildable is in the select menu with the name but only one square below it. When you have no parts for the Buildables the square shows a dull picture of the Buildable. When you find a part for let's say the zombie shield, you pick it up and when picked up, you go t…

Hi CODZ, so as I'm sitting here, I'm pondering, what could they actually do with the next gen consoles, that they cannot to with current gen? There was a rumour (that may well be true, I'm not 100%) that TranZit only had the fog because there wasn't enough ram to give everything a decent texture, and keep the game running smooth. So in future zombies, would we have an equivalent fog-free TranZit? Could the number of zombies per train be increased dramatically? Double perhaps? 48 solo, 96 4 player? What else can they add? Obviously no G spawn errors would be nice. Could they have multiple leaderboards for things separate from rounds? (such as chall…

What do you guys think the finale to Black Ops II Zombies, and possibly even Zombies as a whole, will be? Personally, I'd like to see the finale be at Der Riese (again) but in its entirety. I just like the idea of going back to where it all started. Plus, Der Riese is my hands down favorite map, and I'd love to see it get more attention in a bigger, better way. :)

I have been wondering lately what I would call the new group in Shadows of Evil, since I already call the Tranzit group the New Crew I decided to call these characters "The Cursed" because it is better than the other new guys. I then decided to write down all of the names I called each group, but it got me thinking about what others call them. This isn't some big theory or anything but it is research because I think knowing what people call the groups is useful for understanding their terminology. So what I am going to do is list all of the possible names for each group. I call them whatever names I put first. I really want to hear what others call them and if anyone has …

Every time we get a new trailer for a new DLC we often find ourselves looking for trailer analysis of a new map, and we make our own theories based on the achievements that are leaked. However what is the thing you look forward to in a Zombies map? Is it the Location? Do you want to see how the story ties in? What about the easter egg song? The fact that in every map we get a brand new never before heard Song made specifically for the map. Maybe your favorite thing is figuring out the brand new easter egg before anyone else does? Or perhaps you enjoy seeing the map for the first time and checking out the new mechanics and traps.... My personal favorite thing in zo…

Everybody loved the original four no doubt but someday we will have to move away from them. Before then we need to tell Treyarch what we want next so they don't ruin the next set of characters. People did not like the New Crew (Though I did) Maybe because they were not well written and maybe because people weren't ready to let go of the others. For now I want you to imagine a clean slate. No story restrictions, no mention of old characters. These are the first in a generation, it is your choice what they will be like and how they will work in a new story. One of the key things I saw when surveying old characters is lack of emotion or reactions. Its a zombie apocalyps…

I've been wanting to post this for the past few months. From the video released from treyarc today we can see that the 4th or 5th doc will contain the four original BO dlc maps and possibly also five and kino der toten. But what if they're not releasing the standard maps with just added BO weapons? What if, because of the events of Moon, that the 6 BO maps are altered? What if the 3 super nukes changed the maps so that new areas are available and other hidden secrets? Taking into consideration this idea, what if the closer each of the nukes was to the specific BO maps, the more was altered? For example, because we know one of the nukes was detonated in N…

Hello Despite this being my first post on the Call of Duty Zombies forums I am certainly not new to the zombie’s community, for one reason or another I decided to stay away from CoDz but now I fancied a post mainly due to boredom and nostalgic zombies feelings. Truth be told I really hate any other game in the Call of Duty series that isn’t made by Treyarch. Mainly because they are responsible for zombies but they also seem to be able to make more rounded enjoyable games. Therefore due to the addition of the Sledgehammer Games Call of Duty, creating a new 3 year cycle for COD games, I have been incredibly frustrated and bored having a summer where I don’t have new zom…

I, for one, want a shifting map. And for those who don't know what I mean... I want a map that is constantly changing. This would be very difficult to pull off, but I could definitely see it happening in the future. For instance, It would be very interesting to have an undamaged part of the world, and the new crew would be sent there. So when you start off, the area would be undamaged, and the longer you survive, the more damage is caused to the area, and so: The map would only stay the same for 4-5 rounds at a time. I can see how people would immediately say this would be impossible due to the fact of perks, weapons, and buildables being placed in …

Hi, This is going to be a short post and I've been meaning to mention this on here for a while. I'm sure you are all aware of the cycle of events taking place before Origins- and maybe how you all were synced in Origins in the first place. The idea of 'The Loop' was mentioned briefly by the alternate Samantha (making Origins set in a parallel reality, of course) and I've been looking around and I don't see much talk of it. With Zombies in mind, this is really the only aspect of the storyline I talk about, really. By a paradox being rewritten it only comes with consequences. First being in Tranzit where we see an abandoned World War II Bunker; Nacht Der Un Toten. The…

Before we get started, YES. I do know that there are other games dedicated to zombies only. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ What if Treyarch/Infinity Ward/Sledgehammer made a CoD game specifically dedicated to zombies? Think about it: there would be more memory to put in more maps, weapons, and other features. Yes, there would still be multiplayer, but multiplayer survival or grief. Instead of having 3 base maps, there could be 7 or 8 maps. Even a "Zombies Campaign", where it shows all the maps and easter eggs to finish the storyline. Even better, like in WaW, you could build yo…

For Dlc 4? What is the worst thing you can possibly think of: Story, Map, gameplay and generally- wise? Here's mine: For the final DLC we get four multiplayer maps and Nuketown zombies(sucks to suck if you already bought it), along side a new zombies experience: Der reise: 2 Where you play as the tranzit crew inside the der reise facility with NO actual changes to the map other then the inclusion of perma perks, a bank, and a weapons locker... Here they find the bodies of the four original characters and both maxis and richtofen decide to simply give up and the entire zombies storyline is over.... There is no new wonder weapon and here are the possible box guns…

Hi, I'm Jay. After reading Rissole's pledge to supply ideas for the next game, I have decided to support my friend and spend sometime on what I'm hoping for in the next game. Cinematic effects: If you have been a fan of the Resident Evil series or the Metal Gear series you know exactly what I'm referring to. Certain actions will trigger cinematic effects that give us better perspective of the story or the background. Now imagine JFK getting a ray gun triggering a short clip of him slaughtering zombies with it. Also give us better stories behind each character. Let us explore their secrets and histories through the cinematics. And make one of the main charac…

Everybody knows about the coordinates on the note in Shadows of Evil. Here are some views from it that I believe easily solve where we are going this DLC season. Note DLC 2 and DLC 3 are interchangeable at this point. DLC 0: The Giant: Coordinates were near the location of the Der Riese facility. Centralized Character: Edward Richtofen (Origins Group) Mission Aim: Kill Edward Richtofen (The Giant) DLC 1: Der Eisendrache: Coordinates were near the location of Hohenwerfen Castle. Centralized Character: Tank Dempsey (Origins Group) Mission Aim: Kill Tank Dempsey (Test Subject) Evid…

Hey there. I made this post to throw some of my ideas on how to take the classic Nazi Zombies game mode and bring it to the next level while maintaining it's core gameplay that so many have come to enjoy. The main purpose of this is that while there has always been some new equipment and perks and enemey types added. The zombie mode gets to a repetitve stall around rounds 20+. That is when the players have most of their things and now they only focus on their ammo reserve and doing same loops as long as they can. Games can take very long and at some point your guns are useless and only way to play is to make points to use traps over and over again. So here are som…

For the next two dlcs, we have very little idea about whats to come.... I just want to hear everyone's ideas... Example: Map pack 3: Four Multiplayer maps (of course), one reskinned from a previous game... No new weapon (that was a 1 time only thng) Zombie maps: Takes place with the N4 in Paris, the Eiffle tower ends up being the final spire... Then depending on who you fallowed, maxis or richtofen, unlocks a new map... (Maybe the same WAW map, but doing one unlocks greif and the other unlocks turned modes...) Other: New camos after Pc and Ps3 release... Map pack four: No new multiplayer maps No new weapon Zombies maps…

What?! Undead is posting an actual zombies related thread? I know... right? Hey CoDz, just thought it was about time we started up one of these threads again since we are now anticipating the first DLC release for Blops 2 and it's never too late to shed some light to those from Treyarch that are watching. That being said, I've gotta thing or two that I've posted before, and have held onto. 1. Character Selection - Normally I wouldn't be much for copying ideas, but I think Call of Duty could learn a thing or two from the set up of Left 4 Dead. That specifically being, if I set up an online match and have to wait for people, I'd at least want dibs on a char…

Anyone like cars? I was in NYC for their annual auto show a week ago and perhaps the best show in years. Many new models or models with drastic makeovers. Anyways, we have posted many ideas and thoughts on what we would like to see. Subsequently, I think it may not be a horrible idea to post things we hope not to see. It's like any relationship, it helps to know what works and what ticks. 1. Better map design-more accurately in terms of game play. Give us the option to camp or train with most maps. No more Die Rise or Buried, where moving around in the map mid-round becomes taxing and deadly. Wall weapon placements were just awful. Better organization on ma…
