I was enjoying D2, but they removed the things about D1 that made you keep wanting to come back. I sure hope they fix it because by Year 3, D1 had become such a good game.

So @Smok3y is a LoL player huh? Tristana main or do you just like her character?

I'm not Andy, but I'm willing to answer for you. He seems to fall in line with traditional line of Christian thought, so I'm sure my answers won't differ from his. 1. Murder is a sin. If someone kills a person, they have sinned. But murder isn't an unforgiveable sin. A person can still be forgiven if they repent and believe in Jesus. It's not about having a knowledge of who God is. Heck, demons believe in God. It's about repentance and belief. If someone has killed a person and repents, then yes, they can go to Heaven. 2. Many say that the Bible is just a book of moral teachings, which is does have many of those, but that's not the purpose of the Bible. The purpose is to tell us about who God is. How He created us in perfection, but we sinned, causing a separation between us and Him. But because He loved us so much, He sent His Son Jesus to live a perfect life, die on the Cross and pay the penalty for our sin, then be raised to life. The Bible teaches us that we are dead in our sins (Ephesians 2:1). Dead things don't do anything. They just lie there dead. It takes a miracle to bring that dead thing to life and that is what Jesus did for us. Now why do I say that? Because our works aren't what justify us. Our greatest works are like filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6) to God. There's nothing we can do to justify ourselves, only God can save us from our sins. So it's not about how good of a person you are, it's about if you have repented and believed in Jesus. Now that's not to say Christians can live like Hell because they've got a 'Get out of Hell free' card. In fact, Paul writes in Romans 6 "Are we to continue to sin that grace may abound? By no means!" We should seek to live good lives, but our 'good works' are the fruit of our salvation, not the root of it. So good works aren't enough to get you into Heaven. They never have been and never will be. In fact, the Bible basically says we're all bad and can only be made good by our Savior. We like to believe we aren't that bad, but the reality is we are. We're a rebellious people against a loving God. It's not a matter of how much you sin, it's the gravity of the One you have sinned against. 3. Jesus isn't just a prophet. It's always been strange to me how people, including most Muslims I meet, will tell me that Jesus was a good guy and had a lot of great teachings, but He wasn't the Messiah. Well He claimed to be God fairly explicitly. If He did that, we're left with three options: (1) He's a liar, so he's not that good, (2) He's crazy, so definitely not someone worth listening to, or (3) He's telling the truth about Himself. And if He's telling the truth about Himself, we have to submit to that truth or face the punishment spoken of. Once again, it's not a matter of if they believe Jesus was a prophet or not or even that He really existed. The demons believe that Jesus is the Son of God and they aren't redeemed. It comes down to repenting of your sin and placing your trust in Him. Muslims have not done that. So no, they would not go to Heaven. 4. I'd side with the latter rather than the former. We see from the beginning in Genesis that God made man and woman in His image, something very distinct from the rest of creation. While plants and animals, heck even rocks, can and do give glory to God, not in the same way that humans do. We are different. And that's a good thing! It shows how much God loves and cares about us. That doesn't mean He doesn't care about the animals or the environment. He does. We see in Matthew 10:29, "Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father's care." But check this out, in verse 31 Jesus goes on to say this, "So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows." While God does care for animals and plants, He cares for us so much more. We're different than them. We have dominion over them. That doesn't mean we should exploit our environment or the animals around us, but we should take care of it and do good to it. We are called to do that. 5. Yes, from Genesis 1:1, "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." This is probably the most offensive verse in Scripture honestly, but it tells us exactly how things began. God created the heavens, not referencing the location "Heaven", but the heavenly bodies, i.e. space, and the earth that we know and love. God is the originator of it all. I hope that helped. Got pinged to this thread by @NaBrZHunter so wanted to check it out. Glad to see some interest in this topic.

But what if the CODZL guy is someone really important?

I've got some I lost I suppose during the last site transition. I'll throw them up here and you can update whenever you get the chance. I've reached 48 on Kino with a buddy (rounds don't record on BO so there's that) and 70s in Dead Ops 2 (got kicked after Silverback kill and had to rejoin so no rounds counted). You can trust me or not. It's whatever. I've also gotten inot the 30s on solo zombies so... Takeo Nikolai Dempsey Richtofen Russman I've done 4 player Co-op with CoDz members before (PDT hijinx) I've made a contributed an idea to the site that was implemented (GRILL can vouch). After I finish listing, I'll probably have over 20 CoDz metals, so there's that one and the 10 medal one. I've had a topic stickied (Library resource in Asylum for old theories) Had a topic approved for Asylum I used to have Theorist, so I suppose I can request to have it back. I've probably got 100,0000 zombie kills if you combine all the games and DOA. I've gotten past 40 in DOA. I've done the headshot one. Over the course of my career, I have the 750 revives. Same with perks. I earned all achievements in Black Ops. I'm Richtofen's Servant. Over the course of the games, I'm probably over 2,500 round survived, but only at 556 in BO3. I'm over ten days collectively, but if it's only BO3 then I'm not. I'm Prestige 5. That would put me over 30 medals actually, so that'll be another. I think that's all.

You just have to believe! :) Yeah, I'm glad that this was officially confirmed. He's the guy from the CoDZL trailer. Now who he is, good question. The Der Riese server is what's gotten me now. So confused.

They didn't have to think that far ahead. They probably threw it in there to make us try to figure something out, then came back and were like "we should make that work now". That's how a lot of things happen sadly. Now, with that said, I don't think the portrait is the Shadow Man. I'll give it to either the Mexican subject or Richtofen, as see in the iOS version of the map.

Hey everyone, FatedTitan here! With the new Call of Duty being teased and it being a Treyarch title, zombies is just around the corner. While we are all very excited, I think it would also be wise to post some advice for Treyarch and the Zombies team on mistakes they've made in the past, hoping that they do not repeat those mistakes. So if you have anything, throw it up here and hopefully they'll see it. For me, I really hope that they make it where custom zombies can be counted on global leaderboards if you are using normal settings. I'd really like to go for high rounds with my friends, but it's impossible to do a legitimate high round run with a duo in Black Ops 2. Make it like Black Ops, where I could just make a private match and go for as high as I wanted. 1. Private Match zombies counting on global leaderboards. 2. No bank. 3. No friendly AI. (though I actually liked Leroy/Sloth...very helpful with EE) 4. One piece at a time buildables. 5. Denizens. (oh my gosh yes please no more) 6. Terrible snipers. 7. Fog 8. Ability to get tons of points and pack-a-punch on round 1. 9. George Romero 10. Perma-Perks 11. Bus-style transportation

Here's the problem. You can't treat this like a Call of Duty campaign. You aren't getting the full story. Treat it like an MMO. The base game is a great game, sure, but you are missing some of the story. The reason you're missing story is because it hasn't been written yet. This is an evolving world and as expansions are released, more and more story will unfold and we'll learn more and more about the past of what happened and such. For some, they'll say "What a moneygrab I quit." Fair enough. But this is how MMOs work. It's not to be a moneygrab. In fact, there's a lot of content on disc that hasn't been unlocked yet. They've got many things coming out in the next month to keep you busy and occupied until the first expansion comes out in December. Let's be honest. If everything was already unlocked, you'd have it all done already and still wonder where the rest was (because it's not out yet). By spacing out content, like the Vault of Glass that was released today, you give players an opportunity to see the world grow and expand, while the devs get to work on the upcoming content without being yelled at and having people quit early because there's nothing else to do. Take Destiny as an MMO and let the story unfold as the years go by. This is a ten year project, not a one time release thing. Expansion packs aren't going to be more multiplayer maps. They're going to add more to the story and let the world expand and let us see more and do more than before. Take Destiny as release World of Warcraft. There's plenty more to come. If you don't want to pay for expansion passes, well I can't make you or anything. But that's how this "emptiness" and "lack of story" will be solved. Because that's how MMOs work.

If anyone is looking for an Xbox One clan, hit me up. Would love to have you.

F4ZE, we just got a rid of a spamming member a few weeks ago.  We let him stay around way too long.  The banhammer will be much harsher.  I suggest you contribute and your post count will improve steadily.  Otherwise, we won't be seeing much of you here anymore.

Due tomorrow? Do tomorrow!

Ever since that overblown lingerie poppycock have I heard this exact statement a thousand times by now, just saying.     Amen.  If he wants to make CoDz his little playground and act super immature, I'm up for banning.   In fact, I ask the question:  Who here can defend TAMB's membership....based on his merit and contribution to the site?   I rest my case.
