Hiya people of CODz!!!

Just here today to say that in case you don't know, during E3 the developers of Black Ops 2 are taking time out to answer our questions!!! You can submit your questions to @Callofduty using the hash-tag #BlackOps2 in a tweet.

http://community.callofduty.com/communi ... devs-at-e3

So then, are you going to ask questions & if so what are they going to be?

(I had no idea where to actually put this so I put it here!!!!) :D

This happened only a few weeks ago and have regretted not recording it.

I was on Verruckt with three randoms and we got to about round 15 till all three of them went to go and spam the box in the room where the Jugg is. As I expected all three got downed after about 15 second and left only me in the thompson room kiting three zombies. As soon as they went down a horde of zombies came running towards me from the jug room. Maybe stupidly instead of staying in the thompson room I ran into the zombies that were now coming near the QR room. Walked past them, getting hit about 4 times. Annoyingly one person was in the dentist room, one was near jug and the other was in the hall. I revived the guy near the dentist chair who had the ray gun, he ran out the room just before all the zombies got in. He then started to unload the ray gun making it a little easier to cutback about 10 zombies. I then revived the guy with Jug & then the one in the hallway before anymore zombies got in. When was even better was that I brought QR on the way!! My logic was saying that it was impossible to not get caught or get downed without reviving all three but I actually did it.

This was a lot moreluck than skill. I was just lucky not to get caught on anything. It felt so good to cutback the zombies in the dentist room without going down although don't think i could make it happen again, just a shame I didn't think of recording it. I rarely get these EPIC moments in a game.

It never occurred to me that 4v4 could be Zombies V Humans. Although I would like it to be a humans vs humans contest, the race for supplies sound like a great idea. Maybe it's the first to turn the power on will receive all the perks & the box?

All the possibilities that can come with this game mode of zombies, up to 8 players at any one time is OUTSTANDING, anything really can happen with this 4v4, 8 everyone for themselves, team objective play. There are tons of ideas I could put down but simply just don't have the time and because Treyarch listen to their community they will do great and get it right!!! Odds are Treyarch are going to exploit this engine to its fullest and make a even better experience.

Yeah they're obviously going to suck I think we should boycott the game...

You three first.

With all the supposition and negative views, it's hard for me to not feel a little dissapointed in this community.

We're supposed to be the Vanguard, but we sound like a bunch of whiny b*tches.

We talk all year about what should be changed what could be improved etc... then when 3ARC tries to incorporate some of OUR ideas we cry like a child who lost their lollipop. FFS

[brains] Completely agree!!!

So what if MP players come and play zombies, is it really that much of a problem/what is the problem may I ask?

Just saying most of the forum probably started as MP try-hard, otherwise we wouldn't have gotten into zombies in the first place. We are the people that have taken to it more.

It seems like an amazing idea, as Kill_All_Monkeys (love that name) said:

Yes it will attract MP-try hards, but think of it in the long run. If more people play zombies, that means more money for zombies. And if there is more money, we get more of the things we like. Even if you don't like these new game modes, it'll still be okay. We have to lose a little to gain a lot.

Anyway, if it's that much of an issue you don't have to revive them :twisted:

I've just been reading the recent Playstation Magazine and seen that Black Ops 2 will be having multiple ending. Does this mean that Black Ops 2 will end the Black Ops story...

Treyarch can't begin a game with different beginnings based on what you did in BO 2... Could they?

So do you think that Black Ops 2 will be the end & that we will get all the answers or do you think that Treyarch has something up their sleeves?

1) I was crapping myself... I was first introduced to shooters & zombies at a friends house on WaW, it was very very scary at the time, I must've been 14, it was also the first 15 game I played. Only got to round 4 and that was with my friend continuously reviving me (would like to say I've gotten a lot better now).

2) Zombies DS?

3) I brought WaW because a friend recommended it to me, he said that you have to play the campaign to unlock the zombie mode (getting this game was about three months after I was crapping myself), got hooked straight away, completed the campaign and got given zombies.

4) The originals have been great but I just can't see them being kept for too long, these guys have almost been the story mode, when the story mode ends I don't think they'd fit in, if Treyarch are doing different game modes with up to 8 players then I would like to see some new characters.

WOW, nice vid, [brains]

The first image is of a space craft with a piece of dialogue saying "Houston We Have A Problem", as many people know back then it was used to report a life-threatening situation. Apollo 13 crew used this quote to report a main B bus undervolt. It can also depend if your refering to the movie Apollo 13 (never seen it but their could be a connection) perhaps the reason we haven't 'gone back' is because of zombies infesting the moon?, that was the real problem?

The second picture shows the moon so the rocket (i think) should be the Apollo 13 flight unless your thinking that doctors got to the moon via rocket (maybe the rockets that destroy the earth).

I actually have no idea what the third picture.

Perhaps there is a chemical (115?) that's been found on the moon, if TACITUS is a future weapons company could they have used this chemical for future warfare?

There are quite a lot of ways you could look at it, there are loads more theories I could come up with.

Picture 3 could be a hand, fire, a symbol?

I'll leave this as it is for now. I'll have a think.

Literally just played Der Riese Solo and heard this quote twice, I don't think it is Nikolia, it doesn't have the same drunken tone. Also it doesn't sound like he's on the map. Sort of like when someone gets killed (their in spectator mode) and you hear their character say something but it doesn't sound like their there. (It's hard to explain)

If the football game starts at about 7.45 wouldn't that mean that the trailer will be on before watershed which means there will be nothing scary or frightening for young children on so I doubt that zombies will be shown unless they are shown in another way (Hidden EE's) I think it'll be on the Campaign again although you never know what they can do.

I'm not sure if anyone has seen this but today i was playing on Kino and decided to have a look around the QR machine and looked at all the bottles.

Anyway I had a look inside the cabinet and found that a few of the bottles were actually the perk-o-cola bottles, does this mean anything or is it just another little EE that Treyarch decided to put in?

Perhaps it has something to do with the scientists testing them on the people before they get brainwashed to see if that had any impact on the zombies? Possibly why we have different types of zombies? Although this is just a complete guess[/spoiler:1p22yotb]

I'm sorry in advance if this has already been said, I did look. :D

Oh my god, just had an idea. WALLPAPER (for your room) of a map.

My god.

That would be quite the epics.

You wake up and find yourself staring at Nacht Der Untoten? Perfect.

Like nature?

Wake up to crickets in Shi No Numa.

I like that idea although i would prefer a big poster, on it there will be little pictures of all the maps.

Anyway I suppose that if they do release a Zombies edition (which I really hope they do) I would rather have in-game content rather than physical objects.

On the other hand little figures of the characters & a monkey bomb along with a poster would be very appealing.

Although I'm not sure that they would do it (sorry to be a bubble burster) is zombies become that much of a thing where Activision will allow for them to release their own edition of it.

Hopefully :D

I remember one time at about round 22 on Five where someone got downed on top of the pentagon (that part where the double tap is) thing is without communication everyone went to go revive this person (doesn't often happen, nice to find people that care) anywho I was reviving this person then got swiped behind by a zombie so stopped and ran around that pentagon shaped part near the MP5K, I didn't realize that there was another person running the opposite way with another train of zombies following. Stupidly we tried to kill off each others trains, we got down to about four zombies until realizing that another person went to go and revive this person that was almost dead and then he got downed, with a train of zombies running towards us and coming from windows either side it meant game over. Without communication this can be one of the hardest places I've had to try and revive.

Another place is in Verruckt where this person stayed in the room opposite the dental chair, this was a little boxed room and every round he would go down, it was really hard to revive him as we all ran out of monkeys (at least i think so) and my worthless freeze gun was out of ammo. If you don't get in their fast enough, revive then get out you will become trapped. Not a fun place.

What would you prefer to see Treyarch do in their next installment of zombies:

Do you think zombies needs to start becoming more dependant on the SURVIVAL aspect, taking in many other accounts like luck and higher costing weapons & ammo making it a very hard game to master.

Or would you prefer more on the side of the story, more EE possibly a few cutscenes (not to take away from the hunting) giving a lot more on the story in every map really giving you a good idea of what this is about.

Or would you rather the game to be more fun, this'll take into account the ways you can play with others along with more unrealistic weaponary like that baby maker thing from Shangri-La and funnier quotes.

Or something else.....

You know, something that they could do is just make the classic 4 player survival mode simple and basic, no extravagent bosses, easter eggs, complicated methods to obtaining PaP or perks or anything, just like how it was in WaW. Maybe make these maps more like Der Reise.

As for the people that do want these additions, just throw it all into these new game modes. That way, there's still that classic mode that is kept simple and basic for old, more serious fans of the series, and everybody else can just go crazy with everything else. Maybe Treyarch could just create a mix of everything. I think that would do a pretty good job of pleasing everybody.

In a way this is what I'm hoping for. Then everyone will be happy

Zombies will be fine, Treyarch have developed this from a little add-on to a game into part of COD and I doubt they are going to throw it away now.

I also don't think that Zombie "Bosses" will go away, look at Der Riese at WaW, the main strategy was to camp by the third teleporter close to the QR, they have found a way to counter this, although it isn't too popular (I'm not a fan either) it is effective and Treyarch are going to have to take a few risks and some of us won't like it.

I really think they're going to make smaller maps to try and counter training in areas and people won't like this. But this is the name of the game, survival, you survive under whatever circumstances are presented to you and see how far you can go. All of these things we hate have made that map unique making us enjoy or despise that map more, Treyarch have never failed to put a challenge in front of us and they won't fail!!

About the more is better thing I'm not sure what they mean by this, yes there is going to be more characters and zombies, possibly more maps but it depends on how Treyarch have approached this. Anyway, there is a zombie killer in all of us. I say no matter what happens we will still enjoy zombies for what it is BOII has been hyped amazingly and will hopefully be better than all previous games put together.

I believe this deserves some brains [brains]

Thank You!!!!!!! :D

I reckon this is talking about the MP, haven't we already got Nukes in Zombies as a power up drop?

Nice find though!!!

I've only gotten into shooters in the past two years and haven't played many other shooters other than COD (unless you count Portal 2 as a shooter ) so I can't be the one to judge whether the other games are better.

I'm pretty excited mostly because MW3 disappointed me, it wasn't hyped up well and wasn't given the attention it should have, campaign wasn't great, very vertical & lots of breaching, MP is just repetitive after a while and SO isn't to my taste.

I say this game has been hyped VERY well and want to see where this leads us. 8 player zombies will probably only be for different game types, I mean the possibilities are endless. I must admit though when I first heard that zombies was becoming 8 players I was: :shock: :shock: :? :|

It doesn't matter if you don't like the campaign or MP, there will always be zombies which we can rely on.

"Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future."

-JFK (sound familiar? )

Am I the only one that imagined this in his voice?

Looks similar to the multiplayer map Hanger 18

I've never played the map Hanger 18 before, is that the one from the annihilation map pack?

This could just be a multiplayer map (didn't they say that all multiplayer maps were going to be set in the future?).

Unless we go back to Hanger 18 (NML). :shock:

I'm not sure :| Treyarch are too clever.

Hiya guys surfed Youtube earlier and found this interview with Mark Lamia (Studio Head/Treyarch) from GameTrailerExpo. I don't think these have been shown on here yet:

Part 1:

KpG8H-J0o9k

Part 2:

Pe6iMwttw4o

Part 2 at 4.38 Mark starts to talk to us about zombies. Here are some notes:

-It's coming back in its "biggest and most ambitious way we've ever done"

-"The team is looking at trying to create a totally robust world, your going to see some new characters in there" "We are just going to keep building on that"

Anyway getting to my point, look at 5.23:

This is shown straight after Mark has finished talking about Zombies.

There is also another shot at 5.34:

This shot shows another part of this place.

They wouldn't show this for no reason and was shown directly after Mark talked about Zombies so in a way it makes me think that this is a future zombie map.

Perhaps I'm going too far on this but even if it isn't a zombie map at least it's a shot of what Black Ops 2 is going to look like.

What are your thoughts on this?

I think its more then possible. In moon they definatly made samantha really sound playfull and sexy even though shes a small child. I should think that we dont want a playfull, sexy girl with a penis, so I do support the body possesion theroy, though I wonder 2 things:

Where did she get the energy to transfer bodies and where did she get the body?

On the bottom right there is what looks like a fire hydrant, I'm pretty sure that here in the UK I've never seen a fire hydrant (correct me if i'm wrong), although I do in US cartoons, it could be possibly that this person is in the US. For me first place that comes to mind is New York (not sure why).

Lol that is so frikin funny. O BRITISH PEOPLE! New york is where all the dogs piss on fire hydrants btw. I hope Im not offending you btw. obnoxious sentence endings btw.

Ha Ha, just read this and it really made me laugh

Anyway one problem I have with this being Samantha is that there would have to be some explaination to this, as Treyarch doesn't use cutscenes so there would have to be an EE or something to explain to us that Sam has changed or grown up some how, there is also a video from game trailers interviewing Mark (I think can't remember his name) and he said there will be new characters. Here's the video he starts talking about zombies at 5.00, I'll be posting a thread about this later but here it is for now, I'll explain more later got to go for now:

One more thing I forgot to mention which has helped me a lot recently, turn aim assist on, whenever you almost feel a pull from your weapon there is an enemy around there. It really does help in close combat situations.

I don't tend to play with my friends list so i mostly play with randoms so I wouldn't like to have a eight player EE. Although I would really like another single player EE like in COTD. I also would prefer if all the EE's (including eight player ones) to be a lot harder. I only recently done the moon EE with randoms on mics and that was very easy. I would like them to be harder to find as it tends to take players about two days to complete them. It would be cool if they had more like the Sam says game. That was great fun to complete and made you feel smart :geek: :D

I would hope that returns for Black Ops 2.

But for the love of god Treyarch,

PLEASE NO MORE SCREAMO(or whatever it's called)!

Agreed. I not a fan of screamo either and Elena has been such a key part of Zombies and I really hope she does more songs, like Beauty of Annihilation and The One.

Sorry to be a pain but i really like the one on the right side, it looks different and unique. I also think it looks very cool and says we are not like other forums!!! Although we wouldn't be 100% sure of which we prefer until it is implemented into the site.

BTW I actually like the color scheme and all the other teaser images you've put in.

Great job!!!!!

Whenever you get shot at and run behind a corner do not go out until you are at full health, I tend to chance it and think I can still take them on when I have a screen covered in red and it NEVER works out, they will automatically get the upper hand on you.

Learn each map and make sure you know where the spawns are and where choke points and hiding places can be found, you should learn the map enough so if you get flashbanged or shot at you can easily slip out of sight.

Think of MW3 as a psychological game. You enemies start away from your team, hear around for gun shots to try and recognize what type of weapon they are using, this'll give you a better understanding of what sort of player they are. Think of what you would do if you were them and think about what you think they're thinking of you :?

If a player runs towards you make sure you use cover to your advantage, also don't think that because you are lying down under a car doesn't mean that they can't see you.

You are more of a target standing still, don't stand still and fire, always keep moving unless you are sure you can kill them, on black ops remember on firing range where you had them targets standing still, that's exactly what you will be to them if you're standing still.

Another tip is to try to find non choke points at the start of the game (when you first spawn) and head into that direction, this way you will not get killed easily, you may even pick off one or two people very easily. Most people tend to go straight forward and try to take on a group of 6 guys, with no chance of winning a gun fight.

Here is my explanation on different playing styles and how to combat them, this will help you plan out games so you know what class to go for.

Rusher- These are people like me who tend to rush with an SMG like the PP90M1 or MP7, we'll take advantage of any situation given to us. We will also try to flank that other team as often as we can, sneaking in behind and getting some easy kills. Slight of Hand is essential for those quick kills & reloading. 2nd & 3rd perks are dependant on your playing style but I tend to go for hardline and Stalker, Stalker will allow you to strafe around the enemy and with an SMG you'll move a lot quicker meaning you could kill them quickly without getting hurt much. The best strike package would be Specialist as you can get all the perks. Although i use support which is great for helping your team, it is also good if you don't tend to get high KD's like i do.

To combat these players you need to be on a lookout and make sure you get the first shot in, they will be able to shoot a lot faster than you can so keep on your toes!!!

Sniper- The traditional sniper is fun to play as on maps like drop zone. These people will hide in a corner of the map or somewhere out of site so they can snipe you, these are very tactical players and will almost always get you killed first time. They will tend to use Blind eye and Assassins so they don't get seen.

This is a very hard type of player to combat as most of the time you have no idea where they are, so listen out for sniper bullets and try to pin point where they are coming from, I would stay away from that area, they will get bored and lose concentration and possibly get themselves killed by trying to move out.

Quickscoper- You love them or you hate em *COUGH* HATE *COUGH*, these use the sniper i said about above and does the exact same just quicker and in daylight (basically the exact opposite), there is really no way to combat these as they can be so dang accurate, they will go for Quickdraw meaning they'll have an advantage over you. SMG's are best against these although using an assault weapon will also help you target them from a distance, you will also have to have a dash of luck on your side and just hope they miss.

Relentless Assault- These will take an assault rifle and go and take the house down, these will get the job done, the weapons are balanced and will get easy kills, these will tend to go for the assault package but they can also go for the specialist package, to combat these players you will need to have a good aim, it really is a battle of the best aim against these guys.

Heavy Mower- I find these people to be rare, they will take to the heavy machine guns and will go out a mow down the other team, they have heavy firepower but are VERY slow, use that to your advantage and walk circles around them (not literally).

Shotgunners- These will use the shotgun to their advantage, they can run around the map getting people killed in one shot, a way to combat these is to kill them from a distance, don't think you can knife them unless they are turned around, because you can't.

BTW If your rushing and doing badly then try using a more laid back approach, possibly using an assault weapon and vice versa, also use the support package if your doing bad. You'll get your killstreaks no matter how many times you die as long as you can have the kills to back it up.

One more thing DO NOT focus on trying to get a MOAB for now focus on getting a good KD, that is what I'm doing on a road to getting a MOAB and have got to a 20 killstreak.

Pick the right class for you and you will be fine.

I could go on all night but there is some for now Thanks for reading!!! Hope it helps. Ask if you have any question.
