Did the mystery box usually have one of these beams coming from it when you get the orbs? Just did a box pull, had the orbs and a single blue beam coming from it, and resulted in a teddy bear. Will get pics if i can get it to happen again

I got blue orbs on the red orb light.... um.... So maybe they are for different sides? blue orbs for richtofen (blue eyes) and Red orbs for Maxis (Samantha Maxis' red eyes)?

that's definitely a different perspective.

Note: During this explanation, I will use two terms for one character. Edward being athe scientific side of Edward Richtofen, and Richtofen being the controlled/one we know of in-game.

I always figured the song was from Richtofen's point of view. Note the two voices you hear in the song; An almost mournful, regretting voice, and a demonic voice.

This made me think back to all of the 'Samantha' songs. They always had two sides, one gripped by hatred for all that has been witnessed (a scarred child from all that's happened) and an almost manipulative demonic voice.

Could it be there's something else in the Aether? Let's take a look back at 115, one of the most significant songs, in my eyes, to the storyline. "To see the end of all creation again". How would She know that has happened once before unless something or someone had told her?

Now to the moon radios. Edward was nothing more than a 935 scientist with goals purely for science... That all changed when he touched the pyramid and began hearing voices. Whose voices were those? Could those voices indeed be the demonic ones from the songs?

Now, back on track. This song, from what I've seen, seems to be from Richtofen's eyes. It's showing how the purely scientific Edward is still in there, but pushed far far back in the conscious. Now whatever this... 'thing' is has been controlling Richtofen and influencing him to enter the Aether.

"I can feel but I still can't control myself

Please forgive me"

So see's now what the thing has been doing, and what has been done. Asking for forgiveness and trying to persuade us to maybe not think of Richtofen as purely evil, just a puppet being controlled.

"Shadow, Nothing

all I am

Stalking,Killing

all i can"

Remember Abracadvre's riddles? It was the demonic voice giving us those riddles. It is quite literally a shadow, nothingness left behind from whatever it was that happened in the past, and attempting to make history repeat itself. All it can do now is let Richtofen control the Zombies to do it's work: Stalking humanity and killing all of them.

"Vermin Matyr,

Just as planned

asking "Why must I be damned?""

This just further reinforces my theory. In moon Samantha told us twice (Coming home: "I need you to sacrifice the Vermin Martyr NOW!" and during the Easter egg itself) to kill/betray or that we'd regret working with that 'Vermin Martyr'. I can only assume it'd be Richtofen. Why? Because from whatever this being's viewpoint is, Humanity is nothing more than vermin, which is why it caused/was part of whatever ended all of creation before. Now that Richtofen is it's pawn, he will be a Martyr, sacrificing himself to the Aether, to conduct this being's will, all while the scientific Edward inside is asking himself why it was him that had to be damned to this fate.

I do apologize, but i'll post the rest tomorrow when I have a better keyboard. This one's keys are going out. =(

the lamps only act different during the easter egg. I've only done Richtofen's, and his makes them blink after giving the tower enough 115 with 'boom'

all you have to do is close the lobby (so no one can join in) and leave the settings unchanged, and you'll get ranked.

If any settings are changed, it modifies the gameplay and makes it different from everyone else on the leaderboard, therefore you won't get ranked. If people join in/quit out, you wont get ranked, because it's too easy to exploit joining in and transfering points over for, in technicality, unlimited points.

HAS ANYBODY TRIED TO KILL THE ELECTRIC DUDE INFRONT OF THE CHURCH?

Just did. Nothing happened, except me getting trapped and downed. XD

Has anyone seen the effect of Double Tap 2 on the Ray Gun? Does it fire two rays every shot?

no it doesnt. Only a few guns arent affected by it; War machine, raygun, grenades.

It's the diner, but it's too small of a map to do survival and grief on exclusively. Similar to how you can see the crop circle between the farm and power on where the tower is.

Perhaps a high round on Town gives your skull with shotguns. High round on farm gives you Skull with Knife. 30-40 I am positive. I have seen friends with high rounds holding these emblems.

I think I've got it! The talleys in front of the emblem might be how many rounds you survived there (Or a count of something else), and the emblem itself is from the location you were in. Question: Do those with the blue-eyed skull ALL have Nuketown, or can you get it without Nuketown? That might explain why it is not on the Tranzit map from the trailer.

It's funny how the tallys on my emblem literally sync with how many days I've had the game (albeit, i'm always on zombies, and hardly touching the multiplayer/campaign). The ranks and tallys, I believe are seperate. The tallys are the highest consecutive days you've played zombies for X amount of time, while as the rank is based off what I think might be a downs/kills ratio of some sort...

If... And emphasis on the if... They were to combine all previous maps into a TranZit style, it could be possible. If it goes like it looks, and you can only follow a set 'track' or 'tracks' between areas, then yes, it would work.

The crashed plane (I believe was in Germany) from Nacht has an outside already done, so it would be a building you could enter (similar to the barn) or just pass by.

Same stands for Verruckt. A building with a courtyard in Germany surrounded by a small town that would be in ruins.

Then Der reise would be the final point of this section in Germany, where you can use the Teleporter to arrive at modern-day kino.

Kino, would then need wrecked lunar lander parts if you wanted to get to Ascension, Or follow it outside and bravely the extremely long path to japan to find the ruins of Shi no numa.

From Ascension you can use the lunar landers to go to Shangri-la, kino, or the ruins of Shi no numa in a similar way the bus works.

The only one I can't fit is moon....

So, Being a huge diehard fan of the zombies storyline since the beginning, and a fan of ARGs, After looking back at the entire plotline of Zombies, Treyarch has actually made a shiver go up my spine.

Think about it, they have linked together almost all of the major conspiracy theories of our time into one, solid backstory that mostly precedes the zombies themselves. Not to mention (though they did say otherwise) how the campaign and zombies seemed to link in multiple locations, and connect real-world happenings with modern-day conspiracies.

One thing that made me almost laugh, was the very first mission in Black Ops, when raiding Fidel's mansion.... Doesn't the exact way they did it sound VERY similar to the how they 'supposedly' caught Osama? And then both the body, and the witnesses are killed or disappear? Kinda strange how Treyarch did that....

Not to mention how many times they've linked the Illuminati into the storyline, pretty subliminally now to those who don't look for it. As well as at one point calling themselves Illuminati through a quote "I have been recognized by Treyar- err.... The Illuminati."

But in all seriousness this makes me wonder if anyone agrees that, quite possibly, Treyarch either are illuminati or are trying to make the world more aware of a possibility of them really playing puppeteer in our world?

My coworkers somehow talked the gamestop manager into giving them a code for it even though they just preordered.

What bugs me is the fact that in order to get my Nuketown zombies, I have to lose my 3 tiers of preorder bonuses in order to change it to the Digital Deluxe, and that PC Doesn't get the cool options of a care package. No biggie really, but it does bug me. XD

Btw, isn't it kinda ironic Nuketown became a zombies map when Firing range had so many hints towards it becoming a zombie map? Especially how detailed the rumor was.

If it follows the pattern, A7X will do a Richtofen-viewpoint song, and Elena/Kevin will do the Samantha-viewpoint songs.... So... Now that they're kind of 'together' in a way.... BOTH ELENA/KEVIN AND A7X SHOULD TOTALLY MERGE TOGETHER. LOL j/k

I hope we aren't forgetting about Bullet For My Valentine...

Yes. Just... Just yes. I can even see a play on the song Your Betrayal, in which it's a SamvRicthofen struggle... Betrayals on all sides, heh....

More than likely. Viral marketing increases hype, which is definitely needed judging all the chats about it "ripping off MW3 and Battlefield 3".

I, myself, do not agree to such statements, but I feel another Viral/ARG stunt will happen not only to increase the hype, but to give us some backstory on the transition between BlOps and BlOps II in both campaign AND zombies. Perhaps the two are linked again? (Even though Treyarch said they aren't linked, there were too many ties to the Campaign that zombies had to not be connected.)

Okay, Here's my theory of what's going on.... So, just to recap so everyone gets what's gone on... Richtofen followed the 'voices' in his head's information to get where he is now, right? That as well as the other 935 scientists that helped give him the research needed. The voices started after he touched the MPD. Could it be that something... other... was trying to communicate/command him?

Now Samantha's side... We've always considered the lyrics of the songs that refers to 'others' or 'friends' as the millions of Zombies' minds connected to her... Being in the MPD, what if Samantha met the source of those voices? There were theories that there was another race before that made a mistake as colossal as this one Maxis, Richtofen, and the others made. (Quoting 115, "Look to the skies, to see the end of all Creation again") Therefore, the previous ancient race being trapped within the Aether (To whom I will refer to as the Vril from here on). Samantha being naive and young, doesn't understand such an appeal the offers the Vril give her. So, seeing they're tempting and appealing to Richtofen, she seeks not only the revenge, but a way of stopping the Vril from being rereleased. Well, we all know she failed and now Richtofen is in their clutches and in her body.

So, onto Black Ops II.

The poster shows a woman, with what looks like a pre-dated weapon, holding a head that's pretty much a zombie head... A ruined Earth after the missiles, and zombies running around with blues eyes while Richtofen's in the Aether... or is he? Perhaps the Vril got the release they desired, and are now roaming the Earth, WITH control of the zombies. Richtofen, seeing he was naught but a puppet, seeks out the old crew... in Samantha's body. (Which makes the many private moments with the poster VERY disturbing) Thus we come to the first map, where they'll probably incorporate another zombie cutscene (reminiscent of Nacht from WaW) and explain from there. Or perhaps through a part of the most likely Viral marketing.

Felt I should key in on this. Read through the first page and last two pages. Seems like some people came off more rude than they wanted, or were misinterpreted as another tried to add emotion to the text.

Basically, if you ever dealt with Activision you would have known they were going to release it because it means money. Especially when it comes to the mainstream Call of Duty game. So basically, if you bought an overpriced code for the classic maps, that was your own impatience. Although I feel you, since I highly considered getting one off eBay.

Also, to counter your statement, you basically paid to get them earlier, plus a bonus medal, in the hardened version. Yes, they weren't included in the normal game, so that's why those who didn't buy the hardened version have to pay for it, except we don't get the stuff that comes in the Hardened version.

Now, if you paid for the Prestige JUST for the Classic maps, I suggest taking a step back and instead of complaining on how unfair it is and consider the priorities of Gaming in your life and consider all options available, such as "Its not worth the Prestige amount just for four maps. Maybe they'll release them later."

So, in general, learn from this mistake if you bought the code seperate or are unsatisfied with wjat you got in the Hardened edition and next time, when Iron Wolf or whatever the name will be, comes out to not buy it if It comes with extremely popular maps. Wait the year for the dlc to become public. And throughout this entire speech, I do not intend to attack anyone or their beliefs; just to give advice and help people avoid being bashed on relentlessly.

The translation I got was:

Stage two

601 NZR

Strength through order.

NZR could be Nazi Zombies Return.

Also did anyone notice the 601 group logo is in front of a mushroom cloud?

I think this would have been the Nazis final plan for the ZWMD.

Also those broadcast towers looks like mind control equipment.

Still interesting to read about, who knows maybe there is a lot more we missed.

Regards Alpha.

Realization with that: Nazi zombies Return? A mushroom cloud behind them?

What did we do at the end of moon?

@_@ OMIGAWD

THIEF!

Do we have the coding for all of the other maps? Or just the Blops maps? Could still be stuff missing from SNN or possibly Verruckt as well.

I don't think we have codings for any of the BlOps Classic maps. I remember the rush of dissecting other maps in World at War after find Fly Trap, so I highly doubt there's anything more to find in those maps. And, in all honesty, I can't see them including any uber easter eggs in the other Classic maps. I don't see how they could pull it off without any of us noticing anything yet. I'm just thinking there's a few small hidden things that might still be floating around. Such as our hint at Ascension's PhD Flopper as the exploding Hand-print.

By the way, a Friend of mine Jfta01 or something like that one here (He just lurks now). translated the text on Group 601 poster:

STAGE TWO

Strength Through Order

Stage two? Didn't Richtofen mention "Ahahaha! It worked! Now onto stage 12..."?

Just trying to make connections here...

I always thought the

"Are they real? And do they feel? Is all the pain, just inside my head"

Line as a further hint towards he interaction with the Vril while in the Aether. They'd be foreign to her, and they'd most likely be filled with pain and hate, or negativeness knowing that they are now obsolete and Humans are the dominant race.

Are they real? Are the Vril real in the Aether? Are these voices I hear real or imaginary?

And do they feel? Ties into the next two lines. If they're real, and if they feel, then it'd explain all the pain inside her head, as that seems to be the only way to interact with us (See Richtofen's voices in his head).

HEY guys remember how the ascension egg insanity started?

this is how!

Ah, but that's the thing: we had the codifirmed there was no Continuation. People just freaked out over scrapped and were left in, effectively doing nothing; or people who didn't know how to read coding misunderstanding a line or two and freaking out. We have yet to see the Der Riese coding. PC people haven't gotten this map AT ALL yet, which makes me more suspicious...

Okay... I found something that has been mentioned a few times, but i think there's a pattern to it.

Some of these were in W@W, but it never seemed to be connected, always random.

Okay, just so we all know the activatable objects, there are:

Three posterboards with pictures/schematics. One in Animal testing labs, one in C, and one in the side room of B.

Two books: One pictured above hidden between sandbags, and one by the first pawprint and Maxis nametag.

Two hidden notes: Illuminati message in the beginning in that small gutter, and the one in that small room by B that is hidden in the cieling (Coincidentally right where a ? is)

All 7 of these make a grunting noise when you activate them. I thought it was like W@W where it was random, but it was not. When going Window Book, Maxis Book, Teleporter C Poster, Animal labs Poster, Teleporter B poster Richtofen seemed to get more intrigued. It went from a confused grunt, to an understanding grunt, to a sigh, to a Hmmm..., to a yes... yes...

But when I activated the illuminati note he growled angrily. I wonder if there's a specific combination to these...

My thoughts were the reason R teleported to the pyramid was because that was the first time a living creature used the 'Aether' for matter transportation. The pyramid seems to cryogenically keep the body preserved while the soul is used within the Aether.

So the pyramid is a direct link to the Aether from our dimension.

Also, as for it being there goes back to the Vril theory... If the Vril were the previous race, then that means something happened before our time. Sam once sang "Look to the skies, to see the end of all creation AGAIN." Therefore this is what's left of the Vril. A Vril device, which was destroyed by the last Vril to prevent history from repeating itself, spreading the Vril-rod, focusing stone, and 'egg'.

But the Vril that used the pyramid before... Was trapped in the Aether? Therefore, in a desperate attempt to free itself it invaded Richtofen's mind, in a way. Whispering and informing him of things. Thus the 'Voices'. Same with Samantha. She frequently flips back and forth from 'Usual girl who wants revenge for daddy's death' to 'Demonic KILL F*%*%ING EVERYTHING". It's her contact with the Vril, or possibly the Vril invading and adding it's own lines to her 'songs'.

Long theory, but it seems to fit. And explains why the moon base was kind of there back in like... 1940's was it? And explains weird geometric patterns that we see everywhere.

A thought occurred... That happened while it was on solo... Now, if (and I say this again, IF) it were not a glitch... What happens if you jump through a second Gersch? Wasn't there a rumor going around at one point that gersch devices teleported you to other Gersch devices?

Maybe we just found the nerfed solo EE

Pope,

If you go to the Thompson room (Automobile garage) and take the stairs up to the room above the furnace, go straight towards the corner of that room.

It's opposite of the radio, and straight across from the stairs coming up.

Wow! I never saw that book!! And to think of how many hours I've spent playing on der riese...

Anyway, there's one pair of paw prints you're missing. I'll take a picture on my iPhone when I get home of them. Near Teleporter B, if you go Prone looking behind the tube opposite of the one with the radio, there will be pawprints on the wall there. I think it's where zombies spawn for the Thompson-room window, but I'm not sure...

The paw prints in Teleporter rooms C and B were in the W@W version. So were paw prints near the furnace in Thompson room. The Thompson room paw prints are gone, and now we have paw prints in the tower, right near where the light was in the trailer and Theme that shined upon the clock. Hmmm... Coincidence? I think not...

Also, that metal slab in the map on Teleporter B goes through the map, but is connected to the wall. The shape of it almost reminds me of the Ascension buttons...
