@Hells Warrrior thank you sir.  Whenever you get a chance, could you also edit the "Zombification" page to say that Cerberus is now 4500?  

@Slade we didn't drop the brains requirement, we are just going to manually implement the ones that are involved with brains. Users were expected to request the new rank when achieved.

@The Meh Cerberus just needs to be dropped down to 4500, I'm sure @Hells Warrrior can fix that up real quick.

@Guitarmanx7x looks like Rose McGowen is soloing it

 

 

I'd like to see an EE, but I'm not expecting it.

Welcome to the site by the way!

@Tasha that pic is pretty much "zombie loosing his shit". Very appropriate haha

Also, I love how their eyes glow in those pics. The light trails are majestic.

I see there was a sentry gun which i'm not super stoked about.  reminds me of extinction.  But otherwise it looks pretty dang cool!

@the_clay_bird yeah I saw that too. Strike packages will go on the dpad, much like in survival mode. Should be interesting to see if they make it too easy. I guess the mortar strike grenades in ORIGNS were kind of like a strike packages so not unlike anything we've had before.

The characters look really good, it looks like their will be an intro cutscene to introduce the map.

@Nightmare Voyager they do look good! I'm looking forward to seeing each and every one of them rip apart zombies in glorious graphical fidelity.

OP updated with in game pics of new crew.

 

 

 

 

 

Here we go!!! (zombies content starts at 2:36):

 

 

 

Mini breakdown (please give us your finds as well!):

 

 

We will see a return of rounds.

 

We will also see a return of perks (notice the little sleight of hand icon over the ammo).

 

This person is playing as John Bernthall, and you can see a Malkovich icon - which means we will be able to see other players points.

 

 

We will be playing as a team of employees - some rag tag, some experienced, and some with questionable intentions (I'm looking at you Bill Paxton - the only one in the corporate suit).

 

 

 

We will see a return of Wunder Weapons! Well, special weapons.  WW's have to be specifically be powered by 115, and we have yet to find out if 3arc's cannon ties into SHG's cannon.

 

 

Nova zombies!!!

I saw this as well @yourmapper

He's had the bejeweled skeleton for some time but I beleive the voodoo link is new.

One thing interesting about voodoo is that they believe in a serpent god who's name literally translates to "The Grand Zombie" (the name is "Li Grande Zombi"

Not sure what to pull from this, other then just coincidence. @PINNAZ any grand ideas?

@Hells Warrrior congrats ya' numpty.  long deserved.

Happy new year!

This is my first post of 2015, its going to be a great year.

Wishing you all the best.

Tank, Takeo, Nikolai and Ze Doctah sing christmas classic songs.  Pour yourself some eggnog and sit back to their crooning.

 

The year was 2010.  For some reason, the four voice actors who portrayed our beloved O4 got together in a studio and belted out classic christmas songs with zombiefied lyrics.  Below is the full album for your listening pleasure.  Merry christmas!  (p.s. I searched around because I thought this was posted somewhere else, but apparently not.)

For more information

Haha nice pic.

 

So these are actors or what? Never heard of them.

 

Yeah they are some awesome "underground" actors if you will @Lenne

 

John Malkovich was a huge '90's star (he was in "Conair") - you've recently seen him in "RED" (if you saw it).  He's a fantastic actor with a hilarious sense of humour.  He was also in the adaption of "Of Mice and Men" as Lenny Smalls, the mentally challenged giant.

 

Bill Paxton is another great '90's star - if there was an action movie, chances are he was in it.  Tombstone, Aliens, Apollo 13.  He was also in "Edge of Tomorrow" recently.

 

Rose McGowan is was in "Planet Terror" (Tarentino movie) where she has a gun for a leg.  Pretty badass.  She's married to Marilyn Manson.

 

and Jon Bernthal was Shane in the Walking Dead.  He was also recently in Wolf of Wallstreet.

By blue eyes do you mean the zombie on the far *right?

 

To me ot looks more like green, but if it actually is blue I would say that there is a possibility of this being related to the 3arc zombie story.

 

@Lenne yeah the one that @Nightmare Voyager was saying was turqouise.  To me, it just looks like lighting.  Remember the blue in TranZit was off because of the fog, I believe the one on the far *right is blue, and not green - but I see what you are talking about.

@Lenne better?

Nice catch, @GRILL .

 

I didn't notice that.

 

My guess is that the different colours show which exo abilitys they have.

Thanks @Lenne, I actually hadn't noticed it until @MrRoflWaffles pointed it out to me haha

 

My guess, and hope - is that it is storyline related.

 

Why do they have glowing yellow eyes?

 

 

Oh, there is more than yellow

 

 

I've made a specific thread for discussion of eye color, as it will be a hot topic and I don't want it to dominate this thread.

 

This is going to be a hot topic, and we want to make sure the conversation stays in the right place.  Please use this thread for discussion of the multi coloured eyes in AW Zombies.

Gentlemen, this is an all star cast.  I am beyond excited.

 

 

 

 

 

Untrained and unprepared, four Atlas employees must survive a horror unlike any other. John Malkovich, Bill Paxton, Rose McGowan, and Jon Bernthal star in Exo Zombies, coming to Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare DLC in 2015.

The first chapter of Exo Zombies is included with the Havoc DLC pack or as part of the Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Season Pass

@Cheesegrater28 I knew it sounded familiar.  Excellent ears grater, I'm like 85% sure it's Malkovich.

 

let's hope it's something like this

Okay, so - I'm out of work - it's midnight - let's nerd out @Nightmare Voyager @Tac

 

First off, we need to clear something out of the way.  The Vril connection goes way beyond the V-R11; many think that our community took that little tidbit and went wild with it, when in fact the nazi's themselves were obsessed with the occult and esoteric (ranging from Shangri-La, to Vril energy, to the ark of the covenant).  If you do not believe me, please check out the video in my post above - it is only 4 minutes long, and nicely summarizes the Nazi's actual belief in Vril-Ya, Vril energy, and how to harness Vril energy (I captured/uploaded it myself because I thought it was super informative).

 

Hitler, Himmler, many top Nazi ranking officials believe in Vril energy.

 

Now, let's talk about the reasoning:  Hitler (and Himmler's) plan was essentially to re-write German mythology.  They believed if they harnessed Vril energy (or something similar, i.e. ark, or shang), they'd be able to harness the power of God's and hence become legend.  In the end, it was really just a piece of the propaganda plan to show the world that the Aryan race was the chosen race.

 

###

 

Next: @Nightmare Voyager let's talk Vril, how it relates to 115, and what form it could possibly take.  Since you read the book (something I sorely need to do), I'm going to ahead and pull a little excerpt (source: wiki):

 

The uses of Vril in the novel amongst the Vril-ya vary from an agent of destruction to a healing substance. According to Zee, the daughter of the narrator's host, Vril can be changed into the mightiest agency over all types of matter, both animate and inanimate. It can destroy like lightning or replenish life, heal, or cure. It is used to rend ways through solid matter. Its light is said to be steadier, softer and healthier than that from any flammable material. It can also be used as a power source for animating mechanisms. Vril can be harnessed by use of the Vril staff or mental concentration.

 

A Vril staff is an object in the shape of a wand or a staff which is used as a channel for Vril. The narrator describes it as hollow with 'stops', 'keys', or 'springs' in which Vril can be altered, modified or directed to either destroy or heal.

 

 

I'm going to dash fact this one, because there is so much to be drawn I don't want it to be jumbled:

 

- Vril can be changed into the mightiest agency over all types of matter, both animate & inanimate: THAT, that is a mindf***.  At this point, it sounds like Vril is almost beyond elements, beyond energy, beyond matter - basically exactly what you (NV) were getting at.  And I think what @Tac and I were getting at is the theory that Vril energy may be concentrated from 115.  Think of rare earth elements nowadays, we use REE for smartphones, tablets, computers, TVs, lasers, xrays, basically most technology - but it's not like they just stick a rock of meteorite into your phone and it works.  It has to be broken down, and built back to it's purest form.  I would say this best depicts how I feel about the equivalence of Vril to 115.

 

- It can destroy or replenish life, heal, cure: Much like the V-R11.

 

- A power source for animating mechanisms: Towers in BO2, fly trap, robots in ORIGINS, excavators on Moon, computer on Moon - the list goes on.  When we think of Vril energy as a power source, it opens up entirely new options, uses, and reasonings behind the mechanisms, machines and monsters we've seen throughout the storyline.

 

- Vril can be harnessed by mental concentration:  Okay so Tac was throwing around the idea of zombies being controlled through HAARP towers, but the popular theory was that the controller of the MPD controlled the zombies.  Well what if the two weren't mutually exclusive?  If someone was able to harness Vril energy through concentration, and let's theorize the MPD helped amplify the concentration wavelength, then they could direct this energy in mass amounts.  The HAARP antenna's would act as a receivers, all across the world - allowing total brain control.

 

MPD->Mental Concentration->HAARP towers->zombies

 

Yes it's primitive, but I'm literally just building this theory now as I type - and would love help with fleshing it out, and taking a look at the flaws and fundamentals.

 

Last but not least - 

 

A Vril staff acts like a channel for Vril energy, with the ability to destroy or heal:  um, Origins staffs?  holy shit?  This cannot be the first time someone on this site has mentioned this, but I have not read it anywhere.  Staffs of the Ancients, so are Vril-Ya the ancients?  It would certainly make sense, seeing as we could then say that all zombies tech has been reverse engineered from Vril-Ya tech.

 

As I go through this, I realize I'm getting carried away - but that's really what the Asylum is for.

 

@Nightmare Voyager - in one of your posts you said that "the V-R11 seems to displace people in time".  I could hug you for saying that.  In fact, can I? *hug*.  In Origins, we learned that 115 displaces items and people through time and space.  Going from the description above, Vril can transcend matter of both animate and inanimate objects.  So, perhaps, going with that idea - we are both kind of right about the V-R11.  The V-R11 could use both 115 AND Vril; the 115 for temporal displacement (pulling CIA agents from somewhere else in time), and the Vril to transcend matter (the CIA agents look like CIA agents, and not the zombie they once were).

 

why the CIA agent?  Why the same guy, over and over? What is so damned special about this dude?  I cannot shake the feeling that there is something massive here we have barely scratched the surface of.

 

...

 

It's now almost 2am, I've been writing this for 2 hours.  I'll be back with more thoughts, hopefully more concise.  Sorry if a lot of this is yammering, but frankly I'm quite amped up over discussing this.  Looking forward to your responses.

 

@TheVGExpert welcome to CODZ! We are happy to have you.

One tiny thing is that we discourage self promotion. Feel free to include your YouTube link in your signature, but asides from that we tend to not ask for subs and whatnot. Totally not a big deal, just letting you know good sir.

Let us know if we can answer any questions about the forum itself, and forum etiquette. :D

 

 

Why is it suddenly confirmed that 115 is Vril energy? 115 is an element, Vril is akin to something like electricity but is much different, it is not an element.

 

 

@Nightmare Voyager This is the Asylum, it is meant for theorizing and debating.  If you have a problem with another persons opinion then so be it, but it does not make your statement any more confirmed.

 

 

I never said I had a problem with theorizing. Just because it is a theory doesn't mean it is correct though. I am just trying to give my view points on the theory. I saw a flaw in the theory and told you things to build off of and look into. For example maybe the thing with the CIA agents isn't meant to be the VR11 bringing zombies back to life and something else. I never said my statement was confirmed. If you cannot keep an open mind about the subject of Vril I am just going to leave because their is no point arguing.

 

 

I never said my theory was correct either, @Nightmare Voyager .

 

I understand you are just trying to give your points on the theory, but the way you said makes it seem like you think your theory IS confirmed.

 

See, when you start off a sentence asking why this is "confirmed all of a sudden" - and then follow up by asserting your opinion as if it's fact, it comes off as if your opinion is confirmed.  If you put yourself in my shoes and look at your response to my post, I'm sure you will realize how it came off to me.

 

Also, simply saying that a theory is unconfirmed isn't a flaw - IT'S A FACT.  A fact that is true for MOST theories we have going here.  If you have no problem with theories, then you should have no problem with official confirmation.

 

Yes, you never said your statement was confirmed - but the nature of your sentence indicated that to be taken seriously, it needed confirmation.  Which led me to believe that you have indeed confirmation of your theory.

 

If you knew anything about me, you'd know I'm one of the more open minded theory nuts around here.  Please have some respect, please stay in the conversation, and don't pull the "i'm just going to leave because you can't handle my theories" card.

 

I'm heading out to work in a few minutes, but when I have a chance I'd love to go more in depth as to why I think vril energy relates to 115 - and I'd love to hear more in depth about your theories on it being electrical energy.

 

Sorry @Tac for going off topic.

Why is it suddenly confirmed that 115 is Vril energy? 115 is an element, Vril is akin to something like electricity but is much different, it is not an element.

 

 

@Nightmare Voyager This is the Asylum, it is meant for theorizing and debating.  If you have a problem with another persons opinion then so be it, but it does not make your statement any more confirmed.

great read @Tac always been a fan of you work

 

just figured I'd slip this video in here (as I do with most posts about vril ya).  Some really awesome information on how seriously the nazi's took the legend of the inner earth dwelling beings:
 

 

Mobile

 

I'd really like to see 3arc give us some solid nods towards alien beings (not that they haven't), and their involvement with the storyline.

 

So, are we getting to a point where we are suspecting the controller of the MPD is able to control the zombies through some sort of reverse-engineered vril energy, projecting their brainwaves through HAARP towers?  Because if we are, then that is some serious boner fuel.

 

We've never really seen what Vril as a substance / energy can do. It was supposedly in the V-R11, and produced by the Golden Rod. But honestly Vril could have just been the word ancient civilizations used to describe 115. They might be the same thing. With 115 negatives are obvious. Power your machines and enable teleportation and time travel, at the risk of zombie apocalypse. What negatives gave ever resulted from the use of Vril thus far? Alternately Vril could be a more stable Isotope of 115 with less obvious negative effects.

 

@Artic Jesus i'm glad you brought up the V-R11.  The gun literally heals zombies, cures the zombification.  Why they are all CIA agents?  lord knows...  but it's interesting to note that while raw 115 can be toxic, treated 115 (or VRILL) can be the cure.

@ do you mean "vimanas"?

That's the TEMPLE, yes, but there was a term for how they would propel it into the air. God, why do I forget it now... @ no need to be short, my friend.

Actually there are multiple theories as to how vimanas worked - some were even depicted with giant wings and tail rudders, literally a flying temple.

I'm going to take a shot in the dark and say that the propulsion your talking about would be along the lines of a magnetic/gravitational harnessing. This is basically the technology theorized to move pyramids, and rumored to create Florida's "Coral Castle" (look it up, super interesting).

Then again, could also be the black hole we see in the Shangri la loading screen.

And then again AGAIN, the temples could have 115 inside of them - providing temporal displacement (but I guess that wouldn't explain the flying, would it?)

I think it's safe to say that alien technology is key to the vimanas, the temples, whatever you want to call it. I'm so surprised 3arc hasn't given us more in terms of links to other beings (other then slight Vril Ya references). The nazis believed in VRIL energy in real life, and in the vril Ya themselves. My favorite tidbit is that the nazi's all women vril society (Vrillika) would grow their hair long to the ground, because they believed their electric brain pulses would better reach the inner earth dwelling vril ya.

Sorry kind of went off on a tangent there, regardless - Magnetic/gravitational energy harnessed by the ancients is the most plausible way of propulsion for the vimana (unless you've got like a space shuttle sized rocket in the bottom, but then that brings in questions of fuel).
