Well....

The campaign was AMAZING! Very memorable and gripped me in, I didn't want to stop playing which is what a good campaign/story should do. I remember the part where you were inside that little hole with someone and all of a sudden a man would jump out and kill the guy. For me this was terrifying (anything jumpy I hate I'm a chicken really!) , I tried to run back the way I came.... didn't help much but the need to know the ending carried me on!

Also that scene with the Russian Roulette game, that was brill! I sat there, eyes to the screen waiting to see what happened next! Loved it!

For Zombies it was probably doing the EE on moon with four (one left half way through) randoms. Only one had the mic and would keep saying "teleport" and eventually with that guide we opened up the pyramid and there Sam was... we then went on to complete the rest of the egg getting the perks and the timed DM. This was also the game I got to my highest round yet of 36 but left as it was late and I had college the next day :| Oh well, next time I'll stay and get it on the leaderboards! :D

Well we sure are going to get our moneys worth!

I'm actually quite looking forward to the campaign again, WaWs campaign was good but BLOPS just blew me away, it drew me in and was addictive. Also with it changing this time round with different ways to do things (can't remember what it's called but you get that choice)and the story seems just as addictive as the last! (BLOPS not MW3)

But also it would be interesting to see how zombies will change.

Also the cod casting will be a mode that I will hopefully use a lot.

Lemme save some space.... I'm looking forward & going to play the WHOLE game :D

what if Syndicate is a new character in zombies..

^I had been thinking this too, most people found him through zombies so why not! It would be pretty cool.

YAY Jay's back!!!!

Welcome back! & Happy Birthday!!! Looking forward to seeing some great posts from you yet again!

GUYS I'VE JUST HAD A RARE BRAINWAVE

Okay I know what you guys have said about it possibly being prestige or a ranking system and I also know you pretty much ruled out accolades but what if (these probably are accolades in a way) these were something like task medals or something.

The first one

Looks like something/zombie has been shot in the head! maybe a headshot medal.

Headshots

The second:

Looks like a hand wanting to get back up/wanting help. Perhaps a revival medal...

To get these you must do such and such so many times to get the medal. So maybe 10000 headshots overall to get the headshot medal. This is an easier way to see what fellow players have gotten in zombies & is a better identifier than rounds. Maybe you can have them on show above your name?

You were already being awarded, That's what the point system is for, Headshots, knife kills, Lethals, Etc.

They could have just put no type of point system in the game and left us there to die

With this idea you really would be being awarded for doing certain things in Zombies!!! It would be something to strive for. How's it sound?

^how I'm feeling now it's sunken in. First Wallmart (another post) now Amazon... I CAN TRUST AMAZON.

watch the video about 10 times, that'll sum everything up :D

It has been discussed but this is a high possibility as the number one did equate to how many HUMAN players were on the map. The one does seem weird.

One though is that Nuketown did hold up to 18 players (ground war) and it was still ALOT of fun so I don't see why this couldn't work as a 4z4 map, as it is so small it would mean altering a normal strategy.

Also it would be quite cool to have is as an 8 player team map. People have said that opening the other area and also opening the bomb shelter up (to go under ground) would space it out a bit but you never know with Treyarch. As I said the one is a mystery...

Seven weeks.... now you've put it like that I'm excited :D :D

Maybe these emblems are the new look for the perk icons. The first one would have been Dead Shot Daiquiri because of the bullet hole in the head. This new one could be the new Speed Cola icon because it's a hand. Just a thought.

That's a great thought!!! That would be pretty cool, I'm just hoping that they are rewards for doing certain challenges/goals. Cause 4z4 zombies would be the best to have these.

Okay I'm not overly sure about this but here we go.

Tom Syndicate (or the Syndicate Project) met up with Carbon (a few weeks ago?). Following this he posted a few images, one of the COTD zombies poster:

http://instagram.com/p/O8Z3sSH2-a/

and another of Beyond Birth and Death with a Wave Gun in the background.

I also believe (can't remember but it was recently, maybe a few days ago) that there was a photo on Facebook showing him with some of the zombie creators saying something like find the easter egg:

http://instagram.com/p/O5_0m2n249/

He also spoke to Jimmy and met with him to have some drinks:

Tom said: "Hello good sir - thanks again for drinks !"

Jimmy said: "yeah that was a particularly good fountain soda;)"

I also haven't followed many of his Vlogs on his channel but I do know that he was in America (as he met with Carbon). He has also just posted the following tweet a few mins ago:

"The Zombie'z Are Coming."

This may be a silly post but my question is do you think that the Syndicate knows something? (I'm not saying he isn't entitled to go to America and meet people but it could all add up...)

I'll try to find some links in the mean time but tell me what you think!

Thanks.

It hasn't been posted here so here it is...

Treyarch (Studios) posted on Twitter that our emblems will replace the team logo & the scoreboard:

"Your custom made Emblem replaces the team logo on the HUD and Scoreboard in Free-For-All modes. ^djv http://twitpic.com/atz62p "

http://twitpic.com/atz62p

If it wasn't already this now confirms emblem creator (we knew we could change playercards from the pre-orders). So yeah. This is a nice little feature added in.

I like this trailer. Confirms things! One thing that I would like to look into more is the dragonfire. It seems REALLY smooth to fly when I was looking at the trailer again, if it flys anything like the Recon Drone in MW3 then this (along with the hunter drone (flying plane :!: ) will be my two fav scorestreaks this year. Watch out... :twisted:

But yeah... no zombies :cry:

I like it. This would be very good when going for those higher rounds as you can actually listen to something rather than listening to zombies roaring at you. Personally though maybe make them pay more then 100 :twisted: They have to work for their rewards :twisted:

"I see what you did there Treyarch :| " Teases...

Great find though! Maybe something is coming...

I think that a 20% bonus is great! Think of it like this. In black ops you would get your killstreak after one less kill. A 20% bonus doesn't necessarily mean there is one less kill to get the required killstreak.

Lets say you get all kills with your gun (lets say it's TDM) and you want a UAV (375 points)

You kill 4 people without hardline= 400 points.

With hardlines 20% bonus and you kill 3 people. 300+(20(20% of 100)*3)= 360! You still need that forth kill to get the UAV. I think that this WOULD be beneficial to getting higher scorestreaks like the AGR and the Swarm. ALTHOUGH this isn't counting in getting points from other places like capturing flags, knifing etc. So I think 20% is fine.

Agreed, it is a good idea, however to me this doesn't seem likely. To start with, Treyarch probably had no idea Nuketown would take off as much as it did, and so the names probably have no relevance to any future plans. Secondly, with how much the fans of Zombies love the original four characters, it seems highly unlikely that Treyarch would get rid of them for four unknown people with no real relevance. If anything, I think it is more likely to have 'guest' appearances like Five or Call of the Dead. My prediction would be characters from the campaign. Perhaps many of us will finally see our dreams realized as they throw Reznov into Zombies?

-Jolteon

I see what you are saying but what about the Edward Richtofen books in the houses? (unless that was added later on in an update as I don't know, can someone confirm?).

Also I can't really see how teleporting/the crew getting to Nuketown would benefit the story. I think that Nuketown would be with special guests (like Mason or maybe Reznov( that would be AMAZING!) as Nuketown is a fun map and it seems like this map is going to be more of a party HAVE FUN! and enjoy the view map rather than a serious zombies storyline map, sort of like Nacht (I don't think this has anything to do with the main story). "The map" will probably have the four main characters in there/4 others aswell...

Going back to the whole "Why would they put in there in the first place if something isn't going to happen" like in movies why would they show the persons gun falling out of their hand if something wasn't going to happen with it...

One of his book covers, the "logo" look familiar anyone?

yes, but not the way you thought.

lulz

First it was numbers, ciphers and Morse code & now they're giving us books. Who said games are not educational!

But WOW! I like it when things fit together.

What does he actually say?

Here you go donkeyham!:

TheHawkeyeNetwork (facebook) says "You have some zombies information!? when will you tell us!? I need to know!

Sgtfrankwoods then says in reply "hopefully cleared for next week..still waiting on the go codes..woods out"

YAY! INFORMATION! Great find!

Hey I'm would just like to fling a few theories at you (just for you to argue about even more )

I was at a friends house playing Ascension (I don't have it but I sort of know the little EEs) I squared one of the dolls and Richtofen said something about his sister. Here's the quote from wikia:

"I used to crush these when I was a child to hear my sister cry in anguish."

— Said when interacting with a Matryoshka Doll.

WHAT IF Richtofens sister is who's in the poster, maybe wanting to avenge him for all the pain Richtofen caused her, cause Richtofen sounds evil and probably did cause her hell.

Also Nikolia mentions his sister a few times:

"Hey... you look just like my sister!"

— When Nikolai activates his own doll. (Ascension)

"My sister is more dangerous than you!"

— After killing a female zombie that recently hit him (Shangri-la)

Maybe this could be the girl. Doesn't Nikolia mention using shotguns to kills bears too (personally I think that Nikolia is synonymous with the shotgun & seems like he owns more than a few by killing bears & wifes...) so his sister is possibly used to a shotgun which is why she is using one.

It is a VERY long shot & I'm most probably wrong but I believe that anything that is mentioned in movies or games will come back at some point, what's the point in mentioning or showing the camera to something when there is no relevance (cause in this case it could just be to build a bigger background between the characters).

'If it does seem like blabber then sorry, it's late... tell me what you think.

Hello, Welocome, I would to make your sentnces a little better, but than again I like proper sentences.

Did you read your own?! :shock:

Ah brilliant.

Anywho WELCOME mfoster! Enjoy the best of what CODZ has to offer :D

A video uploaded today showing Black Ops II at Gamescom along with what other companies said. It doesn't tell anything new but it's here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXGN3jv ... re=g-all-u

I've looked at this for a lot of the day trying to figure out what it means. I then looked at the previous codes that were cracked in COD black ops (ASCENSION and ECHELON codes)

http://bigdah.gamerkage.com/call-of-duty-black-ops-number-codes-decrypted.html (this code did originally start with numbers but you never know...)

Looks pretty complicated & (of course) took A LOT of time.

The person who decoded this from JFKs Profiles in Courage.

What IF this is the same principle but using the recent Beyond Birth and Death book that Reza and Jimmy & Syndicate have been tweeting?

Also just to be of some use here is a letter to number translation so no time is wasted:

9-23-25-14-7 4-1-4-26-21 15-1-15-1-2 15-26-21-1 20-23-11-26

i W Y N g D a D Z U O a O a B O Z' U a T W K Z

Some food for thought...

Loving this thread, great ideas!

One of the special editions gives you a unique zombie player card background. So it's confirmed right there.

Also, kills should be at ridiculously high numbers. Like 1000000 kills for double PAP. The way Dunby has it set up most people would have double PAP within a day or week.

Dunbarian suggests 10.000 kills per gun. With 30-40 guns in the game, it'll take you many many months to get all of them completed, even for the experienced daily zombies players. 1 Million kills per gun is far from achievable for anyone.

Personally I'd rather have something out of reach for me to strive for and getting it after a long time than getting it quickly and having nothing else to strive for in the long run.

I'd love the addition of playercards for zombies. Instead of having to go by the amount of rounds a player has (which isn't always true) we can actually see what sort of player they are (so then you can adjust your style to accommodate them)

I posted this forever ago but got absolutely no attention. Anyway, Jimmy Z. tweeted a picture earlier this week, the picture was from the book Beyond Birth and Death. This book explains that when you die your soul transfers into another body and you will repeat the cycle until you have completed what you were put on earth to do. Once you have completed what you needed to do, the cycle will end and you can die. Samantha's purpose on earth is to defeat Richtofen in order to stop him from destorying the world. Obviously time has passed between BO and BO2 Richtofen's body was old and chances are Sam died in his body and transfered to another body. This is her new body she uses on her journey to kill Richtofen. Now i'm not positive about this but perhaps Sam is aware of this cycle of birth and death and wants to kill Richtofen even more because it could finally end the cycle and she can be with her father.

WOW!!!!!

I LIKE THIS SOOOO MUCH! This is great!!! How I didn't see you put this before I don't know but this is an amazing theory... have a cookie *gives cookie*

It seems logical since Jimmy/Syndicate and Reza have all been posting images of the book Beyond Birth and Death and as you said the book does talk a lot about the transfer of souls after the body dies. Great THEORY!!!

'One little loophole I can see but what about Nik, Tac and Demp? Unless they stay alive because of 115 or something (I was thinking of putting a theory of Richtofen being older than his body appears (using 115 on himself?) and his body dies so Sam changes, but it got a bit complicated.)
