I've been getting a lot of messages from people in the last couple weeks asking if I'm doing another stat chart. Here is my generic answer:

I really wish I could make a zombie chart again. But the stats are encrypted for MP, SP, and Zombies. Other guys have been able to find MP damage through extensive testing. I'm not up to the task of doing it for Zombies. Its super time-consuming. However, if someone else did the testing I would happily display it graphically.

If I was able to get my hands on the stats, here's how I plan to present it:

There should never be a traditional balance in Zombiemode. That is, you can't make every weapon "good." There needs to be bad weapons to make the powerful weapons seem better.

If every weapon was viable, anybody could get to Round 30 no problem with minimal talent involved.

Sniper rifles need to be bad. Not every weapon can have a niche. This isn't multiplayer.

Also, every PaP Zombies sniper rifles (the Scavenger is the exception) has dealt 1000 damage with a 10x multiplier to the head. Thats a 1-shot-kill until round 33.

You are barely proposing a buff. If people spent any time using them, they would know that. But a headshot multiplier means nothing. It's the low rate-of-fire and high recoil that ruins them. If you miss that critical opportunity to shoot a Zombie in the head, you are dead. Increasing the damage to the head won't change that.

They are probably going to add Pro Perks. They had them partially coded into Black Ops.

I think no matter how many perks they have, you should be able to purchase ~2/3 of the maximum amount of perks directly from the machine.

eg. There are 9 perks. You can buy 6 straight from the machine, and must get the remaining 3 from perk drops or the completion of an Easter Egg.

The secret BOIZY could be 2, 15, 9, 26, 25. I can't find any significance for what those numbers or letter means.

The timer starts at 00:00:19:01 and continues by 1 digit per frame, for 23 frames (ending at 00:00:19:23). It then jumps to 00:00:20:00 and ends at 00:00:20:03.

The text is '"THE FUTBURE IS NOT OAS FAR OFIF AS MOST PEZOPLE YTHINK -WE'RE NOT READY FOR IT"

BOIZY

And the new one has been revealed as a mini .gif, but when you click it, it becomes locked again.

I found this very interesting tweet by @S3ckert, a sound designer at Treyarch.

Sounds like we will be seeing more Element 115 and asteroids. Maybe even another space map.

Here is my frame-by-frame analysis of the new 16-frame .gif.

I created this handy .gif of a few of the different "Classified" windows. They all have a different symbol in the background. What could it mean? (I know Treyarch loves, their morse code...)

(If the .gif isn't loading, here's the direct link to it: http://i.imgur.com/hUICa.gif)

Also, the classified symbol looks very similar to Digital Warfare 24/7 logo.

Here's the .gif for the 2nd picture. And I fooled around with the full-sized image in Photoshop. But, like Matuzz, I couldn't find anything beyond the simple text.

I'm sure its Bank Gothic MD BT

The font is also used a lot in Callofduty.com and can be found in the assets.

The main "CALL OF DUTY" title text is always Impact. The "BLACK OPS" text and various other words throughout every CoD game are in Bank Gothic MD BT.

Except for "World at War", which was Aharoni.

No no no... This is getting to be a little frustrating because I am a font nerd. I don't think I am making my point clear. People cannot argue with facts. And I am presenting facts. In every single Call of Duty game, the title "CALL OF DUTY" is written in Impact. The subtitle is written in various fonts. In CoD4, MW2 and Black Ops they used Bank Gothic MD BT. In World at War they used Aharoni Bold. In MW3 they used a modified version of Octin-Stencil Bold.

I wouldn't be surprised if there killstreak rewards in Zombiemode. They were partially coded into Black Ops, but never finished and implemented. It would be a opportune development.

Sorry. But they have never used Bank Gothic Medium for the main "Call of Duty" text. They always use Impact. And they still used Impact for the majority of the letters. But of course, the "A" and "Y" are in a new font. It looks like XXII STREITKRAFT EINS to me.

Here's my next photoshop un-blur attempt:

NOTE: In my version the smaller one wasn't there. I added it for your convenience.

Also, check out the bottom-right corner of my (slightly) cleared up version. There's a weird symbol, but it might just be a product of the JPEG-ing in the original image.

One of the images is really blurred and pixelated, but still visible. I played with it in photoshop and got this– still no idea what it is:

In firesale won't drop until the box has moved at least once.

Here is en exerpt from my Zombie Stats thread.

There can only be 24 zombies in the map at one time. Reserve zombies come in when existing ones are killed.

We have been unable to find the true Zombies per Round formula by searching through game files. However, BinText has created working formulas based on observation. They are accurate after Round 10.

Singleplayer- 0.0842 * ®^2 + 0.1954 * ®+22.05

2 Players- 0.1793 * ®^2 + 0.0405 * ® + 23.187

3 Players- 0.262 * ®^2 + 0.301 * ® + 33.114

4 Players- 0.3462 * ®^2 + 0.4964 * ® + 43.164

Below is a spreadsheet displaying how many Zombies appear each round:

-

On the 1st and 2nd Dog round there will be 6x as many Dogs as there are players.

On all subsequent Dog rounds there will be 8x as many Dogs as there are players.

I have also been wondering. Do the headshot/bodyshot multipliers apply to George and astrozombie etc.??

Yep. The multipliers are built into the weapon, not the Zombies.

can you add the black ops classic wall guns? that would be awesome.

Sadly not. I don't own the PC version of the game. But everyone I have talked to says that some of the DLC files are hidden and we don't have access to them.

Constructive criticism inbound!

This is very interesting. I like how you used a different chart for each map. But I think each map needs more trials with different play styles. Go on youtube and add people like Syndicate and Yoteslaya to your charts. And there are people right hear on CoDZ that record their gameplay. You can use them as trials too. Swask and Way2g00 are a few examples of great players who record themselves getting to high rounds. With more trials we will begin to see a more consistent pattern.

Massive Brains to you! [brains] [brains] [brains]

Stickied.

Yay!

Thanks so much. I put a lot of work into this. I'm glad its being noticed, after being a dead topic for the past 6 months.

The Thundergun takes away half on the Monkey's total health.

Can you get free perks from throwing a QED near a perk machine?

Nope. But if you throw the QED within 15 feet (4.5 meters) of a Perk Machine there is an increased change of it PaP-ing your current weapon.

I don't see anything about hacking the Red Perk

include_powerups()

{

	include_powerup( "nuke" );

	include_powerup( "insta_kill" );

	include_powerup( "double_points" );

	include_powerup( "full_ammo" );

	include_powerup( "carpenter" );

	include_powerup( "fire_sale" );


	// WW (02-04-11): Added minigun

	PreCacheItem( "minigun_zm" );

	include_powerup( "minigun" );


	include_powerup( "free_perk" );


	// for quantum bomb

	include_powerup( "random_weapon" );

	include_powerup( "bonus_points_player" );

	include_powerup( "bonus_points_team" );

	include_powerup( "lose_points_team" );

	include_powerup( "lose_perk" );

	include_powerup( "empty_clip" );

}

Notice how it says "include_powerup( "free_perk" );"

I think that indicates that it is possible to obtain a free perk. We just haven't figured it out.

It also says that you can't hack the Bonus Points Team, Lose Points Team, Bonus Points Player, and Random Weapon Power-ups. All other power-ups can be hacked.

Im just saying. Its been out for two months now and no one has apparently got it. Wait, its out for PC, no? Where's Duckcall00? He can probably tell us if the bottle is in the coding or not.

Yes, its out on PC.

No, you can't get if from the pads.

temptation_array = array( "fire_sale", "insta_kill", "nuke", "double_points", "carpenter" );

"free_perk" is not included in the list.

You can get a Firesale Insta-kill, Nuke, Double Points, or Carpenter.

curious on notes under the monkey bomb, says on the far right +3 every 3rd round? I guess i've never noticed but is there any truth to that? always was under the impression that all special grenades were refilled by max ammo only...

Yep. That's false. It's one of the things I'm correcting in the Final Version. If you cant to see my work-in-progress, check this out:
