You're in a forum about a map that has technically been semi-released to us thus far. There are spoilers everywhere, and the only way you can avoid them is to avoid the whole forum itself.

I don't believe a new mode will come out of this. If it does, I don't expect to see Grief or another version of Turned. Rather, something else that involves this map.

Some good information here, friendo! I wonder how long til it's not longer a OHK...fascinating.

Some implications have arisen. The Olympics will be back into session after we work out a few kinks both internally and externally. Expect it up once more soon.

If you really can't contain yourself, then you can do whatever you so please. To me, looking at something before I get my hands on it excites me more. Am I going to go the extra step if it's far from my reach? No, because I'd very much just wait until I am capable of doing so. I did that for Nuketown Zombies. I saw many videos about it, and was very eager to get ahold of it. Once I did, I was still as astounded as a little kid discovering magic for the first time. Tl;dr: Viewing is much more different than experiencing it hands-on. It's your willpower that is the only obstacle in the end.

Hmmm, separate Achievements to which side we choose in this Side Mission? Sounds like a very nice plan. If this is the case, then could revising history very well mean that what we did in Mob of the Dead through breaking the cycle is actually pertaining to what he wants us to do? This a very interesting analysis. Kudos, friendo!

Ah, it's great to see a post from you friendo. Your work always keeps me occupied for a good duration of the day. The brimstone to damnation is an interesting concept. I always view it as some kind of metaphorical awakening to intermittent destruction or doom. You could even call it a trigger for the unspoken horror that is bound to occur eventually. Kino der Toten really emphasized this phrase and made it seem like the research and information that was left behind by Maxis is what causes our interest to reach the ultimate damnation of Earth being savaged by missiles and Richtofen into power. Perhaps this idea was not thought of at the time of making such a phrase, but it's never bad to have some kind of hypothesis handy. Sulpher...we may uncover something of it later down the line. Or, we really haven't looked too much into it for some reason. The connection between such an element and Hell is very intriguing. Sodom and Gomorrah remind me of Die Rise for some odd reason now that you mention it. Fire coming from above, the ground below being set ablaze as a result of it. Then again, we're trying to connect the allusion to brimstone and damnation so I am not too surprised that there is some kind of relationship there. Is this what has befallen upon us after what occurs on Moon? Damnation to all? I will continue looking over this repeatedly. I really enjoy these kind of reads; take smaller things and broaden them into several connections where they all join back in the ending result. Just wonderful research, friendo. :)

Welcome to the community, friendo! The storyline is extremely intriguing and confusing at the same time. For Mob of the Dead, it does not get any clearer; in fact, it just tangles things up much more! We have discovered that Richtofen nor Samantha are in control of the zombies during this time period. I'd suggest you take a good look at MMX's thread to learn everything about Mob of the Dead: viewtopic.php?f=100&t=18279#p162533 Happy reading! :)

I think that this is a very interesting relation, even if it seems to be minor. You could look at each one and see that they direct your attention to something that is emphasized without understanding. For 115, we deal with...well, the element 115. In Green Run ala Tranzit, Carrion takes this similar approach but with carrion as a decaying flesh. Each are the source of power and condense further as we explore the significance behind each one.

Looks to be gibberish to me. They are toying around with us about the Zombies statistics for Grief and a few other elements pertaining to it. There are words written over words that make no sense, such as Tranzit over the word "Sliquifier". The box areas look to be some kind of rough overhead diagram for the layout of certain maps, but they're too undetailed to even assume that they are.

Nope - just a false rumor. That's all that there is to it.

Fun fact: Jimmy's Twitter description involves a little mentioned of a slab. https://twitter.com/ZielinskiJimmy Tectonic plates shifting to create what we now see as Buried?

I don;t believe there will be a Grief mode to this map. There seems to be a certain pattern going on - Grief, no Grief, Grief, ______ . It would be much more sensible to do the [final] last map to incorporate a Grief mode anyways.

Very nice breakdown, friendo! The Victorian woman/ghost is going to be the biggest mystery thus far. Fom what you have shown us, it looks like she doesn't go beyond the area of the house (though I could be very wrong). Also, a mutton-chop zombie boss? THAT would be very interesting, haha. If giing candy to the big guy makes him aid us, I wonder what would cause him to oppose us...great work!

Agh, wrong forum. I swear, I get these forums mixed up when clicking too fast. I think my fastest was 12. I can't get any faster than that. :(

I've gotten it as quick as 9, but I'm positive you can get it by 8. If you want to know how I went about that, just click the little spoiler below. Sorry for going crazy in this post. I just thought it may be helpful to explain how you can get it very early into the game.

Ah, okay then. Once we assume that the aircraft is responsible for the mushroom cloud, it comes to seeing when that event actually happens. Would you say that if we presume Nuketown Zombies and Moon to be happening in the future, that the aircraft created the crater and any external destruction, say, perhaps a few decades after Nuketown was first demolished? The explosion done by the mechanism could have very well created the zombies there, and the result of such an event happening would cause the CIA and CDC to investigate.

There are a few interactive parts with this map. The generator's front being opened and moveable is interesting, but I don't think it correlates to anything other than game physics. The wheel is the population counter. When you kill a few zombies, it rolls itself to the exact number that is left before a perk machine is dropped (or was that the clock sounding off?). The bike is still a mystery, but also just an interactive object. Some say that it's the very exact bike that Marlton takes to escape Nuketown, but that's really stretching it.

Ah, I totally forgot about the spacecraft with the large laser mechanism. That makes perfect sense then how it could be an alternative approach. Thanks, friendo. I'm not quite positive where you get three nukes from. You have Nuketown's bomb, [the spacecraft], and the three Moon missiles?

There are a good number of graphics glitches in Mob of the Dead. For instance, some people have also claimed seeing an "upgraded" dog after they kill a zombie and it starts emitting a brilliant glow. Then there is the water tower glitch in Theater mode as well.

People really don't like regarding the fact that Nuketown/Moon happened directly prior to Green Run, huh? You can look at both sides and agree that it may be set in the 60's because of the Multiplayer map, but then you could also say that it took place in the future because of Green Run and Moon happening in the future as well. Personally, I'm an advocate of the present/future setting but I too have to keep my mind open to every possibility. We know that the dropped bomb cleared out the existing American/Soviet forces there, but do we exactly know from what definite time the radiation scientists come in? All we know is that it happened after the bomb wrecked havoc on Nuketown, but before the Moon missiles were launched. The mushroom cloud would not have lingered for more than a day (even though it should be visible for up to around an hour according to nuclear physics). It just doesn't add up how a mushroom cloud can stay up long enough for the radiation scientists to come in after the forces were obliterated and still withstand as we see the CIA/CDC come in. That would mean Green Run had to take place within that set time, and then teleport (thanks to Richtofen) through time and into Great Leap Forward.

The Docks are hands-down one of the toughest areas to train in. If you get closer to the sniper tower, then prepare to do some intense holding out or even cut-backs. It's ruthless, even with a zombie shield.

Four words: invest in a cooler. Nothing sucks more than having your console overheat. Install the game if necessary...just be aware of all precautions so your game isn't interrupted by something external. No joke, your Solo runs will be excruciatingly tiresome once you go beyond 65-ish. Guns are pretty ineffective at this point so you will need to heavily rely on traps (given that there are some in the map you're in). Kino is the greatest example of using traps effectively. But as perfectlemonade said, you will need lots of discipline to make it to 100. It's not impossible and not difficult, but it isn't something to achieve very easily if you have a short attention span.

Let's avoid the discussion about anything Benn or PTG related. We've already seen enough criticism, and there should not be anymore on here. Focus on the second question, please. I believe that everything is already set in stone. Treyarch has the concept already played out, but loves to throw a few curveballs based on the things we take notice on. You can create all the ideas and theories you want, but I can promise you that none of them may come to light until the far future. They love to inject a few minor details to toy with our heads that they find interesting. If the community constantly pushes for something (ex. return of the O3), then they will definitely taunt us with the possibility of such an event occurring later down the line. It's like playing World at War back in 2010 and saying "gosh, they ought to make a prison map" and then see Alcatraz Island three years later as you tell everyone how you predicted it. You didn't foresee it coming because it was only a wild idea that just happened to be implemented.

I never did understand Doctor Who. Maybe it's because I'm not into those kind of things, but people in Southern California eat it up like it's cake (yes, that was an indirect insult to the types of people in my area). Thank you for simplifying the scenario for me, friendo. It's a very interesting connection. I had a feeling this was definitely the case. MMX had mentioned in his Trilogy a few weeks ago that the cycle did begin when the M4 altered the history of their actions a.k.a. "kill" Ferguson. I agree with bagel's explanation of allowing Al to live. It would make sense for everyone to die in order to mend the rift, but the problem lies in the crew constantly dying with an indifferent ending to their purgatory. Al was meant to live in order to break that cycle.
