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.

Albert. Weasel. Arlington. Mob of the Dead is a fan favorite map (though honestly, I believe the Afterlife function made it too easy). It has an amazing story, and a very interesting ending. So, four inmates (Sal DeLuca, Michael Finn O'Leary, Billy Handsome, and Albert "The Weasel" Arlington) Concoct a hairbrained scheme to escape from the formidable Alcatraz. Albert, who is somewhat of an idiot savant, designed a makeshift plane from parts that could be found and hidden in the prison itself. Everything goes smoothly, until the very moment comes where they actually have to build the plane. Despite everything being planned perfectly, and all the par…

First off, let me point something out. Edward Richtofen is the in-game voice of Treyarch. He's the one that knows all the secrets. He's the one that hides things from us. He's the one that plays mind games. That being said, there's one thing that I'm going to say that's going to blow your minds, and my evidence is something in-game. TREYARCH LIES. The Timeline... though keeping an accurate recording of events lies in ONE respect. Every single cutscene takes place in the same universe. Maybe not in the same dimension of that universe, but still the same universe. I'll explain that later. First, my proof that Treyarch lies. Edward is the voice of Treyarch, and his password,…

For those who have yet to see the Advanced warfare's new multiplayer reveal trailer, I suggests you do: Now this is (Hopefully) just the tip of new things implemented into the game. Now, my question to you guys is: How can this be implemented into zombies? Feel free to add anything you want to the list, but here's a start: -Exoskeleton -Defiantly should be included as either a build able or a perk for at least one map. -Supply drops--- Allows access to weapons BASED off of not EX or KD but SKILL and achievements. This is exactly what my custom box system should work with, but that's just me. -Virtual firing range: I will pr…

Buried: Easter Egg Theory
by Guest- 7 replies
- 1.7k views
The theory I have created today regards the Buried easter egg. I will try to explain what the Wisp is, if the characters die and if we can tell who resumes control in the end. Okay, the first two important things I want to say about this theory are this: 1.) I believe that when Samantha or Richtofen are in the Aether, they only have control over a certain number of zombies. Even though they can change the eye colour, zombies will just try to eat people like regular zombies unless they are being controlled to just kill like we see in game. 2.) While Aether gives much power to those in control of the undead, it does not give them the power to control all zombies or mak…

Ah, Tunguska. Just saying that brings back the nostalgia. Finding those boxes in Shi No Numa labelled "Tunguska" was strange...in a good kind of way. For those of you who don't know, the Tunguska event "was an enormously powerful explosion that occurred near the Podkamennaya Tunguska River in what is now Krasnoyarsk Krai, Russia, at about 07:14 KRAT (00:14 UT) on June 30 [O.S. June 17], 1908." according to Wikipedia. It is largely believed to have been caused by a meteorite impact of some sort (an air burst). A meteorite, huh? What sort of special element can we obtain from meteorites in the CoD Zombies universe? The Tunguska Event has been speculated and theori…

I'm talking specifically about zombies (duh) because i have mentioned it but never made a thread. So people want character customization, and one of the very few things ghosts did right was character customization. It wasn't originally in extinction, but those smarties patched it in. But zombies is so much more story based so making up a character wouldnt work as well... On classic maps. But think about all the potential for survival, grief, and other game modes added. You could choose gender, hair and such but here comes the fun part, earn money. The could totally call it Z (with lines through it, like bonus points/blood money) and you would earn it by completing …

perhaps you should be able to choose a special class and the box spits out weapons to match the class, and they have a special skill for each class (not like extinction though)

So, this is my first post in Future Zombies. I've theorized maps before but this is the first time I've felt confident enough to post. One can infer at this point that Treyarch are following a pattern with their DLC's. Black Ops II's correspond in some way to Black Ops I's. Map Pack 1: Ascension-Die Rise: Both about rising and you ride something in both by standing on it (lunar landers and elevators) Map Pack 2: Call of the Dead-Mob of the Dead Map Pack 3: Shangri La So from there, we can assume our third map pack will be in some way associated with Shangri La. Now, if we head over to Jimmy Zielinski's twitter (https://twitter.com/Zieli…

The Man, The Myth, The Legend "Tank" Dempsey was an American Marine serving in the Pacific Front of World War II, as well as an operative for the OSS through their efforts to steal Group 935's secrets in the developing technological front of the war. Little is known about his life before the war, and he would prefer to keep it that way. In terms of his family, he would only admit to having a 5 year-old daughter, a daughter he may never see again. Dempsey prefers the world see him as a muscled, masculine "Tank" of a man: A lover of a good fight and of a good woman. He is the embodiment of American male exceptionalism of the 20th Century. …

In every World at War, Black Ops 1, and Black Ops 2 Map what was "the first priority"? POWER....Electricity to power the perk machines, pack a punch, the map. The towers have been present since World at War. Go Play Natch go to the very far window in the box room....what do you see a tower. Shi No Numa there is a tower outside....TranZit there is a tower.....Die Rise a tower....GG Bridge I consider a tower. All of Black Ops 2 the new perks have been related to resurrection. Who's Who, Tombstone. Then afterlife in MoTD. But I have a theory to what the outcomes of both Richtofen and Maxis's final EE in Map Pack 4 will be. Maxis: You indeed resurrect Dr. Maxis! That he is no…

We think we know everything that happened during Moon. Mad scientist launches the Rockets at earth in order to Break the Rift…. But what if we had it all wrong? What if the missiles were originally meant to stop the opening of the Rift? In the 1960’s WWII was over and the united states salvaged remnants of group 935. They discovered, research, The uses of Divinium, some Live specimens and even the advanced teleportartion systems from der riese. They reverse engineered much of this and even managed to perfect Teleportation so that it allowed undead matter to pass through it. They created the Winters Howl and even installed a pack a punch inside the con…

Today I will be presenting a few key story elements of old maps that we know nothing about or could possibly not be the way we think they are. These things might show us a small glimpse at where our story is going. The Unknown Man...The Phantom Who was he? Who is he? Who will he be? Number 2 Weasel and Nikolai. Why does weasel hear the name Nikolai. What is the importance? More in Shadows of Evil? The Time Bomb What was it's Original Purpose? Why does it exist? Did it succeed in it's purpose? The MPD Who Built it? Why was it used? Can we use it again? The Death of Doctor Maxis If Maxis did not shoot himself then who did? Or better question....Who Will…

Hello everyone. Here I am again, with another crazy theory. This is copy pasted from my reply in another thread, but I feel this deserves it's own discussion. So here we go. Alright, so after the Big Red Button of Impending Doom is pressed, the Easter eggs for Black Ops 2 are officially, finally complete. Despite which side you're on, Richtofen says that Samantha still has his body. So what does this mean? The O4 are still alive. And not on the Moon. "But Tak, how did they get off the moon by themselves and NOT die?!" Well, they didn't get off by themselves. After Richtofen got bored and found some new toys to play with (N4/CIA/CDC) he teleported Dempsey, T…

Remember how one of the major clues leading to Ascension was that at certain points in "Revelations" when you paused, it said Ascension? I dont know if anyone else noticed this, but if you pause it later on in the level, a little after the rocket launches, it says Echelon instead of Ascension. Any ideas on what it means?

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 …

Ok, so for the past few years we’ve analyzed every map, every easter egg, even scraps of papers we find on the ground. We have achieved great results but we are still left with so many questions. However I believe I have discovered something no one has ever even paid attention to at all. The portrait of Roebuck in Five. Now, many people have looked at this portrait and just dismissed It as a mere reference to W@W. However I believe we have completely missed the implications that ONE portrait has on the Storyline, especially now more than ever. We now know thanks to the Giant that their mission is to set everything right again.…

When do you think we will get a trailer. I VERY much doubt it will be the 13th. Simply due to that being a day before the Ghosts MP reveal. They just usually don't do that. One can argue the reason they made the date the 14th, is because a trailer will be on the 13th but idk. I am still holding out for this week. I went back and looked at trailers they released not on a Tuesday. The BO2 Zombies reveal was on Wednesday, and some Rezzurection stuff was on Thursday, and Friday. Like I said I am holding out hope for some teaser this week. What do you think? PS sorry for some possibly bad grammar.

FEAR TEDDY makes absolutely no sense. FEAR RUSS makes absolutely no sense. FEAR RUVE is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. There is NO map pack 5. There were never any plans and there won't ever be any plans for a "Dark Side of the Moon" map. The TranZit 4 characters are dead. They are in Buried, forever. The Original 4 characters WILL be returning in the next map. Albert Arlington did NOT create the Zombies and Mob of the Dead has no relation to the main Zombies storyline. Questions? Your "theories" are terrible.

One thing that bothers me in zombies is that there are some weapons that are more or less useless. If you get a war machine you throw it back immediately. I don't like how some guns have next to no redeeming qualities. There should be at least one good reason why you should keep every gun. Now some weapon categories are thoroughly under represented because of this. Although they have some specific uses, nobody is ever begging for a launcher, shotgun, sniper, or pistol. How can we fix this? My idea on how to make these more desireable is to give them stopping power. I don't mean the perk, I mean literally the ability to slow down / stop a zombie in its tracks. Rea…

For the final map you should make it a Time Travel map. You go to all the different maps from WaW to all the new maps in Bo3. All the Guns are on that map and all the Wonder Weapons and all the perks. You can also merge all the Wonder weapons together to make the Ultimate Wonder weapon(everybody can have it). Zombie Challenges! - Complete a certain Challenge and call in a Panzer Soldat or something. The Soldat helps you for 5 rounds. - Other things that you can do for Challenges is you can call in maybe an Alien from Extinction to Help you. And if you are unable to complete the challenge Some(NOT ALOT) Aliens attack you and your team. - Some easy challenges are …
