I believe there is more than one key available, too. Correct; you can find the keys throughout the map, and I believe there are four keys if I'm not mistake. They can be used on the elevators to come up instantly.

Yes; the same glitch was used for the Jet Gun in Tranzit. Soon, Treyarch will catch wind of it and stop the glitch. I mean, once you get the gun, you can pick it up anytime from the Mystery Boxes, so it's not like it'll be impossible to get. Of course, enjoy have your whole team spray down the hotel with purple soap as zombies ice-skate all over the place and into elevator shafts. :lol:

Then would you care to explain two questions? 1) How would the Focusing Stone - that was directly put into the MPD on Moon - appear in China on a map such as Die Rise? 2) What "other previous items" are there on the map? I'm not challenging your idea; I simply want to know where you're coming from so I could assist in perhaps furthering what you've started.

Thank you for this simple yet efficient tutorial, TBG. I understand that you may also do the same when using grenades to assist in slaying the Eletrical Phaser Crawlers. There was also a mention that not being damaged by the crawlers would ensure another perh if you decided to utilize a gun rather than a melee weapon. Thanks again! :)

@OP: I just want to apologize for people not taking much of a gander at this speculation. Some people don't like to observe tiny details and make something out of them. Who knows? You just might be on to something. Perhaps the sign on the tile represents a particular floor/section of the map? There are so many areas we could consider, it's hard to determine where we're at let alone the description of said location. If I recall correctly, there are multiple signs and posters in Die Rise which would some kind of symbol, just like the tiles have shown. Maybe this is where we need to go at times in order to progress the Side Quest, or stumble across something new? Great find, zmcdowall! Keep up the good observations. :)

How is it that you have this "ball" from Shangri-La? I'm assuming you mean the Focusing Stone, which was used for the latter portion of the Moon Easter Egg. That is completely gone; I'm not sure if you just picked up an object similar to it on Die Rise, but there is no Focusing Stone in the map.

It's not a bad theory at all. Quite a few people have noticed the balls, and it may be of relevance. To get it out, perhaps you do need the Sniper Rifles/Sliquifier?

viewtopic.php?f=139&t=28205 Lots of information here; you ought to check it out. Apparently Stuhlinger is the new Jesus. ;)

It seems so - perhaps the cult that is mentioned in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=139&t=28205

Treyarch has their online server connections very quirky ever since they had the settings update just half an hour ago. Give it some time; even if you ar elucky to access the public matches in Zombies, you won't find anyone. It seems that all Xbox 360 users are having this problem, or at least the ones who got the "update".

I have to agree with Afro; this map really set a higher standard for Zombies. Tranzit was great and all, but Die Rise is absolutely dominating its predecessor. The combination of good ol' Verruckt and Shangri-La. There are some tight spots, but also very spacious rooms where you'll be training if you have the correct maneuvering techniques. The weapons chosen for the map are superb with the addition of a few modernized weapons like the PDW and ANS, and let's not forget the beloved Sliquifier! Placement for said weapons are justifiable, and prevent too much proficiency in a given area or too little survival. Add in some Mule Kick, and you'll be having a blast in no time.

Okay, it finally got me in. Here's what you do: turn off your Xbox and let it cool for at least 15-40 seconds. Go to your Xbox 360 settings and clear your cache twice. Then load up your game (with your profile signed on) and head to Multiplayer. I opened up my Options to make sure it wouldn't crash again, then I did the same once I opened up Zombies with a System Link match. I backed out, and hit Xbox Live. Finally managed to get on.

Same has occurred to me. Don't worry; restart your Xbox 360 and head back into the Zombies menu. At this point, you may receive the "Connecting to Online Service" loading screen followed by a server error. Don't clear your cache, or else your system will freeze up again.

Trust me - it does. Shoot some zombies in front of you, or spray at their feet. They'll be skidding all around you, and you could blast yourself a nice hole in the horde while having them ice skate for a few seconds. The only thing you need to be weary of is ammo. It's a fun weapon, but fun things tend to go out very quickly, so use it sparsely.

I hope that helps you, friendo. :)

It's actually a different person; George Barkley from Druid Hills, GA. The person who describes the symptoms of those that were infected. He was part of the CDC, and took note of the effects the infected had. Also, he mentioned some of them who survived the outbreak began to have...rather interesting characteristics. But that's for a different thread.

That's what it seems to be. Using the prior map's NavCard to be accepted into the reader for the next map. We already know that the crew will re-visit Green Run once more, as said by Maxis himself. The question we ought to focus on is the background behind the NavCard. There is no "Net Asset Value" anymore.

The Dragon was actually nothing more than a sign on top of the hotel. Confounded us all, really. :o

It wouldn't be the case, because the V-R 11 resurrects them from the dead, hence the PaP'ed name "Lazarus". Stuhlinher wouldn't be someone to be re-animated back into himself, and it doesn't exactly make sense. The decoy in the Call of the Dead Easter Egg was sent into a portal (most likely the Aether) after being killed off. Samuel is now the prime suspect of the Twilight Zone. For what reason would he be a part of such a cult to eat zombie/human flesh? I understand that if the crew were to figure this out, they'd see him as some kind of infected person and leave/kill him on the spot. For all we know, he could be infected in some way.

I've never heard such moaning like that before. If it is Richtofen, then he's really starting to get the creep factor in very well. These sound like agonizing moans almost; as if someone is being tormented. I can see why it would bother Samuel. Perhaps it's the same forces that Richtofen heard before being in control.

Now, considering we've made pretty much no progress on the EE I think Jimmy MIGHT be helping us out. Either that or the Troll Tweets have arrived to mess with us. So the EE Achievement is called "High Maintenance" So we've gotta repair something. I know Janitors (at least where i'm from) clean an area, not repair things but a certain build-able might help out... Sliquifier anyone?

I assumed it was the elevator closing after the crew (as seen in the Solo intro clip), but it could just as easily be a gate. Perhaps it's the sound of somebody leaving/entering?

Welcome to the community, friendo! It does seem like the TVs may have something to do with the Side Quest. But some of the TVs are beyond the barriers where we can't reach them. They radiate static, as if Maxis should be speaking through them.

That is technically your first step to completing the Side Quest for Maxis.
