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.

Drop this crap about moon zombies. because, no. its not happening. zombies on the moon would SUCK. Ok? Now. My theory. "what goes up must never come back down" its coming down.(the rocket) and its gonna land somewhere else in europe(possibly france), and the map will be there. Its coming down with lots of 115.

Zombies and Tarot Cards?
by Guest- 4 replies
- 2.1k views
I was thinking about the Binding of Isaac just now and I thought of the tarot cards in it and thought they could relate to zombies. Has anyone ever linked characters to tarot cards? I have been linking some characters, utilities and just general stuff in zombies to some of them so I am going to make a list and if you think otherwise or think of something I haven't please tell me. Also tell me if anyone has made this connection before because on some of these I can truly see some strong ones. I am going to update this post as I go on, a lot of it has been done already but I would rather here other peoples opinions for now. I have been working on this post all day as well s…

Well now we know the theme of Black Ops III is twisted and dark future with super soldier enhanced with robotics and other advanced tech. It is quite safe to say zombies will follow such a direction with guns, abilities ect. Sure they could do all the guns, assets, etc. specifically for zombies and make it take place in another era but I highly doubt it. So in World at War the oraginzation in power of zombies was Group 935 working for Nazis. There were also Americans working with this mysterious element 115 in WW2 but we didn't know much about them at the time. Then came Black Ops. We saw the downfall of Group 935 and Cold War and how Majestic 12 took bigger steps in th…

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 …

Black ops 2 brought in the feature to give weapons a random attachment, but made it only work on 2025 weapons for canon's sake. Seriously screw that, in the next game pap should respin any gun, and you should be able to choose your attachments. For example: Press X then A for acog, X then B for rapid fire, X twice for no attachment, and X then Y for reflex. That was just an example, and i dont think it should outright tell you, so you have to experiment to see what each weapon gets from which button. Furthermore I feel like the pap on its own is great... Until about round 30. And i know loads of people feel the same way, so some sort of machine or way to upgrade furt…

Started browsing the forum in... '09, I think? Been a while. Over the years, I've seen CoDz thrive -- and I've seen it decay. This declination in quality came directly from Treyarch -- and started with the release of Ascension (early 2011). Overly grandiose easter eggs are not what lured me in - I liked the small stuff. So did the rest of the adult community. When the focus shifted from small hints (radios, notes) to story quests of large proportions, the adult community started tuning out -- and the kiddies arrived. CoDz used to be centered around analyzing radios/images/codes, and that's what built up an adult community. That's what kept the site active from De…

Are the Gatekeepers Vril-Ya?
by Guest- 1 reply
- 2k views
I believe there is a lot of confusion as to just who and what the Ancient Order of the Keepers are. Especially the Gatekeepers, these guys: I have often referred to these beings be called the Vril-Ya. Now, that is fine and dandy but I can tell you for a fact that it is not as simple as that. There are many different interpretations of the Vril-Ya and I believe that for all intents and purposes, they technically are them. Notice I said "technically", because we have no confirmation of that and because it isn't that clear cut. We know from Shadows of Evil that we have had a lot of new beings introduced to us that are Treyarch's interpretations of monsters fro…

Am I the only one who was confused at how (on Black Ops 2) the campaign team zombie maps (Mob of the Dead and Origins) easily beat the zombies team maps (TranZit, Die Rise and Buried) in every way? They were more engaging, challenging but not too challenging, interesting, thought provoking and most of all... Fun! This leads me to think, should the campaign team have more input on future zombies maps? They managed to create fantastic maps while the zombies team failed in that aspect. Your thoughts? (I'm happy to be back )

A lot of people have stated that they would actually prefer that the storyline be hashed and that future maps should contain no story whats-so-ever. I understand why people would say this: BO2 zombies was horrible. It was downright unforgivable…. But I really don't think removing the story is a good idea. WE LOVE the story, it's fantastic. Why drop it? That would mean the end of easter eggs, the end of richtofen quotes… It'd be madness… ' SO: I've created this thread to help find ways to fix the storyline: Some main things that must be dealt with: - The different endings: we either need to pick one and go with it, or find a way to satisfy b…

So I'm surprised to see no threads regarding the robot zombies in CoD Online. I realize it's only in China, though knowing Activision and their love of making money, I reckon it's only a matter of when we'll get robot zombies. I mean, I know it's just NDU and Verruckt reskinned(With perks added to Nacht) and zombies replaced by zombified terminators. Still though, it feels fresh and it looks pretty cool too. Also introduces 4 new characters, unfamiliar with the names at the moment. All they would have to do is remove the 12 round max obviously since 12 rounds is much too short. For those wondering why China has robot zombies as opposed to actual zombies like we h…

I have speculation that a new zombie map could be berlin wall. There is some zombie looking stuff around and it would be a great map. You would be able use the turrents and iniatilly the open spaces would be blocked off but for purchase. The vantage points would amazing for sniping or just killing. The team could go there looking for refuge , only to find more zombies. however there is very little info to support this. But i think it would make a very interesting map. sry for it being so long hope you read it. this is all straight out of my mind and nowhere else!

Anyone else think 'Die Rise' doesen't sound like a zombie map name? I don't think it sounds 'professional(?)' enough to be a name for a zombie map. So i was wondering, prior to the release of Black ops 2, gamestop and other gaming retailers across the world had a poster for call of duty black ops 2, however it was called eclipse. Obviously we know eclipse isn't the name for this years call of duty, and (too my knowledge) there has been no findings as to why it was labelled eclipse. I'm just saying, treyarch have done it before and can do it again. Maybe Die Rise isn't the name for our map. Likewise with Eclipse, I think it doesen't sound right? Please comment on …

I know I'm not the only one who is pumped to see some new info, and wow. A giant mech warrior? I don't think any of us expected that. But maybe we should have. Firstly there is the obvious connection between this machine and Der Riese, which is that Der Riese is German for "the giant". The sign on the facility's wall reads "waffenfabrik Der Riese" which means weapon factory: the giant. Maybe this name doesn't refer to the facility itself, but whatever they manufactured there. As MrRoflWaffles has pointed out, there are several frames flashed during the trailer, which form an image when photoshopped together. The 935 logo is visible in the image, so we can assu…

ZOMBIE FEILD is like Green Run (or something close), there's a bus that takes you to different places in Tranzit mode. There are five small maps that the bus can take you to, also separate maps for other modes: -Forest -White House -Mall -Volcano -Tunguska These small maps are connected by the Tranzit road. So that means Zombie Feild would have to be somewhere in North East of America. The Easter egg would be complicated because I haven't thought of the other maps in terms of traps or designs. But all this is Tranzit. Survival again has separate maps to play. Every map has a box, a perk, and a Pack-a-Punch. However, you can only find this perk on Forest, …

I didn't get the season pass... I was one of many who was screwed over by buying the Hardened Edition and getting Nuketown 1 MONTH Early for a whopping TWENTY DOLLARS!!! haha my ahole is still pooping money-shaped poops.. like staacks haha Thanks Trey, maybe try offering a bit more.. because the gamestops I went to couldn't give me any info on the Black Ops 2 Hardened Edition.. So I figured you guys were gonna pull a clasic Black Ops 1 move and give the public every map from the previous game? nah. The public got shafted. And I guess I'm speaking on their behalf.. I'm a little outraged, the more I think about it.. I could've saved the 20+ bucks and put it towards the seas…

If you do see any of the leaked information about Die Rise, remember the rules and keep it to yourself. There are numerous videos on YouTube and there are a few things popping up on forums. Unfortunately I happen to know something I shouldn't (a few of my friends showed me) but I'll not be spilling the beans until the 29th.

I discovered this and don't think anyone else has before, and it seems pretty important as a clue. The black blob in the catalog from the DICE talk background is a Flesh Eating Venus Fly Trap. The text says "FLESH EATING. Plants that will eat you? ? Larger ? and beautiful. 5454 Plants $1.50" And the number of it in the catalog, #5454, is the same number that is written on the torn out order form from the Moon loading screen. The Flesh Eating venus fly trap is one of the items ordered. They ordered 2 of them, item #5454, for $1.50 each! But they tore it off, as if they changed their mind about that item? Then it's put back in place on th…

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…

Then more zobmies… Then finally we'll be all ready for the real zombies…. Presumably… I really hope trayarch doesn't cop out and say: "We will be doing no more zombies" or "we're going to wait an extra year"… Because that'd be bullshiz…

I think a map in the dark catacombs would be sweet. Easter egg song from hollywood undead. And the 4 main characters go in and try to find lost secrets left by explores or scientist. With death ending tunnels, flashlights needed, screams and moments that make you jump and I don't think power would really work but instead have a power recharge for some guns and flash lights. Zombies could put the gate way to hell in it and other sweet things. i would like to see Tank and the rest of 935 scream in fear of what lays ahead. What are your thoughts?
