Undead

I wonder if zombies is going to keep expanding from Nazi Zombies like it has since SNN. Imperial zombies, cosmonaut/spetsnaz, casual/american zombies... If the maps are going to go by the hints in Der Riese, and Call of the Dead now with screenshots basically proving that is the most likely to happen, we just might see mime zombies in Map Pack 3, folks. :D

I had a feeling that if Area 51 (or areas surrounding the base) wasn't going to be a map just quite yet, if they do it at all. However, I don't know how I missed this! Pictures in Der Riese basically gave away Kino and Call of the Dead. I knew about the lighthouse picture since Der Riese too haha. Well, that solves one theory I suppose, but I'm still set on who these new characters are going to be. :)

Alright! I snow map, just like I mentioned I wanted a little while ago. Everyone notice how the further we get, the more decayed the zombies get? Could be just for the sake of programming and making them look more dead than undead but it's as if the maps are technically backwards if you went just by the freshness of the zombies. In Ascension, some of them we basically burnt skulls with glowing eyes for a head! Now imagine them with ice sickles hanging out of their nose! (or what's left of it anyways... )

Here's a fun idea; much like the random box, why not a random perk machine? Costs at least 2,000 points, so it evens out the chance of either getting Jug or Speed cheaper, but also risks buying cheaper perks for more. Also, spices up the game a bit for ya. :)

Ya know, I got the feeling that Alma Wade and Samantha would be the best of friends. Just sayin'.

I'm pretty sure Treyarch would be smart enough to try an prevent the names of the actors give anything anyway for the new characters. For all we know, any of those four could also have done the voice for Maxis, Yuri and Gersch.

^ Here's another thing I wanted to add on to that, voice actors for each of the original crew, who are they? Or better yet, do we know who each voice actor is for everyone we've heard in zombies? I don't know the names of any of the voice actors for the original zombies crew, but one thing I was curious about was if anyone knows who does the voice acting for Maxis. We hear his voice all over Der Riese, if we knew who does his voice, it would definitely tell us if he could very well be one of the four next characters.

It would make it way too complicated that way. Not to mention, what happens when you go down and lose a weapon you need?

You be hatin' on the root beer, then you be defyin' ze doctor! cQD2UAEf_Bk

This is exactly what I'm thinking. As of just about EVERY map pack they basically hide all they can from the community about zombies until it's about a week or two prior to it's release, at that. Treyarch wouldn't just flat out tell us the name of the next zombies map, otherwise it completely gives it away. Do I completely disagree it could but some variation of "Call of the dead", sure, after translation of several previous maps, it's possible. However, I also think that "Call of the Dead" is a little bland at this point in zombies to be the name of the map.

Lemme guess, "beware the 6th?"

Yeah, simular to Der Riese, they all play in order. No matter which radio or reel you activate first.

I remember doing much of the samething with some random lobby I was playing with back on WaW. All 3 of them sent me requests right after that round :D

I'm thinking some kinda spiker grenade similar to the ones in Halo 3 that pins zombies to the wall with giant nails. :D

Granted, they do seem to be dragging this one a bit with Ascension adding all these new inventions and characters in more than getting on with the initial plot thus far, however I believe Treyarch definitely has a purpose since they like to keep the Zombies stuff to themselves the most. They just love to make us think. :P

If anything, they do need a scavenger-based perk. One that allows you to hold 1 extra special grenade slot, 1 extra normal grenade, 1 extra betty/claymore spot and have a larger ammo capacity. Bott-o-lier soda! Also, judging by most of these comments with Double Tap, it's pretty obvious that Double Tap is the most underrated perk. Sure, it's a bit of an ammo waster as a downside, however, it does more that increases your fire rate, it also boards windows quicker, throws monkey's faster and plant's betties faster. Which, at high rounds and desperate times could potentially save your life.

I've gotta bad feeling zombies is heading down the L4D road very quickly...

^ Samantha herself has confirmed it, there WILL be a zombies trailer. :D

I've gotta hunch the female character will be someone iconic. And the only other character who has been mentioned is Sophia. Who knows though, it could be Nikolai's mother. That would be a perk all in it's own! In Soviet Russia, zombies fear YOU!

It's possible, however I think that would honestly rip out the foundation of makes zombies so much fun. It just wouldn't be the same. I DO think though, if they can pull of an easter egg twice as epic as the Ascension one, they could do something where it "expands" the map and unlocks new areas. That, would be sweet. :)

First off, Kino and Ascension DID have relevant things to the storyline, but not nearly as much as Der Riese or SNN did. The big Ascension easter egg probably being the biggest cliffhanger we've gotten recently. But Kino just seems underrated in regards to the story. A lot of people (including myself) were expecting something along the lines of Area 51 as the next map for zombies, especially after confirming the gas zombies since they look a lot like alien zombie things. Anyways, the point being that Kino has the messages given from the two radios, and the film reels that all relate to a specific subject, explaining that they've made a breakthrough of a zombies subconcious and was beginning to follow orders. That definitely sounds relevant to Der Riese radios if you ask me. Other than that, I believe Kino is just yet another place they used for experiments. [/epic-nerd] ANYWAYS... haha sorry I kinda got off there fellas. I just hope they don't do some irrelevant spin off thing. Yeah, they had Five for a goofy Blops themed zombies map, and that's all. I wanna see what happens next with the story, and hope these characters are potentially other iconic characters mentioned throughout the story. :)

I've heard rumors this is actually supposed to be a mini-campaign style map this time since it says new zombies experience as well. Can some one confirm that for me? Besides that, I've got a pretty big feeling this is finally beginning to hit a climax here. I'm personally hoping for the gang to be Maxis, Peter, Sophia and Yuri/Geresh.

I highly doubt the actual name for the map pack is "Call of the Dead", it's more than likely just something to stick on there advertising that zombies (obviously) will be returning in the 2nd map pack. Even after First Strike was announced, we didn't even know what the zombies map was going to be until it was much closer to the release date. Or in the very least, that's why I hope anyways. It just doesn't make sense for the names to get more bland the further we get.

I noticed that you also get the "old" upgraded camo when upgrading WaW weapons on Der Riese. It's more silver than techy-alien looking.

I found it! Great job Alpha, I was actually just thinking about doing the same thing! How does one go about winning a set? :mrgreen:
