@MrRoflWaffles, @NoahJ456 and the rest just finished the Easter Egg on the stream, that final cutscene was amazing. So much to analyze.. Holy crap.

Great stuff, it's important that we start discussing this major hole in the storyline, although I think I'm missing a small detail.

How is the old Richtofen (to the right in the picture you posted) any different from the (original) Der Riese-Richtofen?

Really? The sites said otherwise and they look identical in architecture...well at least they're in the same vicinity. :p

They are considered sister-castles and were raised in the same time period, so they are pretty similar in architecture, although the placement and nature surrounding it are widely different.

Also, your last source refers directly to the Hohenwerfen Castle.

@InfestLithium The two pictures you used in your post on the Hohensalzburg Fortress are two different castles.

The second is indeed the Hohensalzburg Fortress, although the first is called the Hohenwerfen Castle and is located south of Salzburg.

I wonder why they did a zombie Richtofen though?

 

I've been wondering this too since my first teleport in The Giant. Why is there a zombie Richtofen? I agree the popup is lame as hell and seems lazy, but why exactly him? Zombie Richtofen as a boss in the future maybe?

Seems like my pictures got extremely small, but on the first you can see 4 marks whilst the other shows 2 marks.. Should be one screenshot from each of the games, if I'm not mistaken.

They've always been there though, no?

Yeah... This is more of an Annihilation of a Beautiful song...

 

That right there might simply be the best put thing I've read this week. I agree though, it took away the whole mood of the song. Back in the day, BoA really made me hyped and feel great while running around on Der Riese, but this version just puts me off. I respect their attempt at making it "the same but different", but some things just shouldn't be altered.

Count me in!

I understand why Treyarch would be doing this, no doubt about it. The issue is not what they chose to do about it, it is the fact that they had to do something about it in the first place. The fact that people are still this sensitive about something that happened 70 years ago is simply mind boggling.

It's been 20 hours since Milo uploaded his video on this, and I don't understand how there hasn't been a topic on it yet.

In the Shadows of Evil trailer, there is a single frame with information we have not yet discussed.

The location of Der Riese, Lower Silesia, is mentioned on a poster.

"Silesia Stahlwerk"

What do you think about this?

It could of course be a "easter egg" in the sense that it was put there "just for fun", for us to discover and laugh about, but nah, not with Treyarch.

Milo had some great theories about it in his video, but I want to hear input on it from the gods of codz.

Long shot, but the term Ancient Astronauts might actually be relevant to our story.

The ancient astronaut or ancient alien hypothesis is a pseudoscientific hypothesis that posits that intelligent extraterrestrial beings have visited Earth and made contact with humans in antiquity and prehistory.^[1]Proponents suggest that this contact influenced the development of human cultures, technologies, and religions.

- Wikipedia @ Ancient Astronaut Hypothesis, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_astronaut_hypothesis

Even the temple in the cover we've seen before, it's called a ziggurat.

Ziggurats (/ˈzɪɡəræt/ zig-ər-at; Akkadian ziqqurat, D-stem of zaqāru "to build on a raised area") were massive structures built in the ancient Mesopotamian valley and western Iranian plateau, having the form of a terraced step pyramid of successively receding stories or levels.

- Wikipedia @ Ziggurat, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ziggurat

This temple is also actually hovering in the air, with bright light all around and above, which is definitely something we've seen before.

There were some clear photos on the callofduty-snapchat earlier today. Don't know if they've been posted already, but they are definitely relevant in this post.

A closer view of the posters:

As sad as it is to say, it is pretty clear that this is just Call of The Dead, Mob of The Dead, Origins, The Giant and Shadows of Evil, respectively.

Judging from the in-game screenshots from Origins, they looked empty like you said, but that screenshot from the Giant-trailer makes that inconsistent. The blood in the new screenshot goes much further down the vial than the original screenshot.

This leaves us three options:

- They were empty in Origins, but was refilled (unlikely to say the least)

- They were still containing blood in Origins, and more blood has been spilled/used in the Giant trailer.

- Simple coincidence, the model is different. Although knowing Treyarch, unlikely.

Either way, something is up with these blood vials. If we disregard in-game screenshots, there is a clear difference between the two trailers. In the Origins trailer, they are obviously full, and in the GIant trailer, they are only filled halfway.

Looks to me as if we are, contrary to what was said earlier, actually getting the actual full version of the trailer very soon. I personally can't interpret these tweets any different:

@Treyarch Still waiting "a little while" longer.

Just want to point out that there's a freaking hand coming out of the stairs in the third picture.

​Didn't you hear? They got tired of using Avenged Sevenfold's feature tracks on their games, so now they've hired One Direction!

The entire setting seems WW2-esque to me, to be honest - which is beyond amazing if it's true. Actually I don't care in the slightest that the game is set in the future, as long as they keep zombies in the traditional style.

Two words guys. YELLOW EYES.

Remember...everything you know is wrong.

This is freaking weird though..

@MrRoflWaffles Well done, my friend....well done, indeed.

— TheUnmarkedMan (@TheUnmarkedMan) April 23, 2015

They're best friends now!

So. Much. To. Read.

​Yeah, we figured.. That's extremely sloppy, what's going on, Treyarch don't do these kinds of mistakes..

I'm sure we're dealing with the website right now, and that we've gotten only parts of it yet.

Actually, "etter" means "after" in Norwegian, might be a coincidence, although worth mentioning.
