@AMoAG wait - are you saying they fixed it? or not?

Out of interest, why is the picture of the Mona Lisa? XD

@Nightmare Voyager ha it's not my actual picture, got it from a great Kotaku article I believe  Anyway, I think it's the Mona Lisa because it's supposed to represent that works of art are being cut apart, lessened, cheapened.

@the_clay_bird This image below perfectly illustrates my point, and why I'm furious with this stuff.  If we all stopped pre ordering games, and paying for Microtransactions - then the developers would have no choice but to include those items in the game itself... rather then charge us extra.

I'm against in-game purchases on a game I've spent $110 on. I should get all the f***ing content for buying the season pass.

We've had this conversation before, and I'm not going to get into it - other then saying that crap like this only encourages more games to ship incomplete.

How about "R & D"  (or "Research and Development") instead of "Research Facility"?

Alright! This is fantastic news. Now they just need to fix the broken hosting system! I can't bring anyone into a public lobby without them getting kicked, or vice versa.

@celeste100 same things happens to me, unable to take friends into a public game once we have grouped up. Usually we split up looking for the desirered amount of randoms with mics, and then invite them into a private lobby. Really want SHG to fix this!

@Matuzz oh lord, "Black Richtofen" - I've never heard to him referred as that.  But man I remember some heated debate regarding the Ascension poster, and if it's artist interpretation.

@FatedTitan and I always thought it was this guy 

Ok David Vonderhaar told us there was 32 secrets (as you know) I wanted to make a quick list of the ones I have seen. 

 

1. Richtofen crossed out with fab 4

2. Inspirations for zombies showed walking dead and 28 days later. The storyline has direct connections. The Die Rise TV mentions Atlanta and the zombies being a virus. 

3. The brain and heart under the pictures

4. The monkey skull the looks like the one from the Shangri la trailer

5. The face of the MPD in the top right corner of a picture

6. Moon Comic strip under the perk-a-cola bottle caps

7. The afterlife symbols and skull drawings

8. Mystery Wall Gun and Shadow

9. Extremely clean 935 symbol. 

10.The markers on the page possibly hinting at Sam and eddy

11.The October 2, 1962 date

12. Danger/Death Vietnamese Translation

13. 115 blue rocks or world looking marbles (top left of the page)

14. The blue print with shangri la looking re-make stairs 

15. Shangri la loading screen sketches

16. Possible map order or layout of the maps (or even the maps they plan to remake) 

17. The tv dials

18. COTD map overview with what looks to me new additions.

19. Richtofen scratched out of the Origins group.

20. Der Riese screen change

21. The wording of Mark Lamia closing statement

*22. Possibly putting the two picture together to see it's on a wooden bench, table, or toy box? 

 

Now these are just my dumb down guesses. Do you guys have more to add? I really hope we can knock out all 32. This isn't a be all end all list. Just my suggestions.

@RADAUSTIN27 nice rad, glad to see you in here

Alright so Richtofen: gone, kapoot, vanished - all of sudden.  I love it.

Both photos are of the Origins O4, so that means it's the Origins Richtofen that's been seemingly "erased".

All I can really think of is that scene from Back to the Future, where Marty's disappearing - I can only wonder if it's the same kind of scenario.

The Richtofen that we know from Origins is disoriented, not himself.

It's possible that he's still in shock from having sawed open Maxi's skull, but at the same time - there could be something larger going through Richtofen's subconscious.  The Richtofen of Origins does not appear to be the Richtofen that we know from BO, cackling gleefully about spleens and monkeys, Origins Richtofen is calm, concerned.  It's safe to say that most agree he absorbed a consciousness when he touched the MPD, but perhaps it unlocked part of his brain that had been there since Origins.

How does Origins Rictofen (or any of the Origins gang) not remember this?

Because it hasn't happened yet, well it has - but it hasn't happened in their time streams yet.  Who's to say that Richtofen couldn't do something to his time stream that would erase himself?  Or perhaps, for "things to be how they were", Richtofen needs to be killed.

As for the Kino photo, jeeze - I've spent so much time wondering about that... or why there are posters of them to begin with.  When the O4 shot the teleporter with the wunderwaffe, they traveled through space & time to Kino.  It's possible that they had been to kino before, and used the teleporter to go back in time and leave the paintings for themselves as some sort of warning.

@Tac @Tattoo247 OP updated with full video!

Enough.

Time to get back on topic, and any henceforth off topic-ery will be removed. Hell I want to lock this thread frankly, but it's an important topic - maybe even SHG will see this (and the rage across the Internet)... hopefully they've already seen it. The best we can hope for is some kind of patch to include pausing in solo.

Solo pause is as crucial as points, rounds, basically an essential game design - hopefully SHG wil speak on this soon. AW is very important to them, and so is exo zombies reception.

Is it game breaking, to me? I'm not a solo player, so no. But if I was a solo player, I'd be dissapointed. There is a certain formula that zombies requires, and exo zombies needs solo pause to truly be welcomed. Like I said, I play coop and quite like the map in the little time I have to play.

Welcome good sir. We're more than happy to have you :D

we'd like to bring it back.  It's certainly a possibility.  It's nice to know that people would still listen

Very excited for this coming to new gen.

Will certainly be picking it up.

27 coop - with randoms!

Still have yet to attempt solo.

@gdavis024 you need to make at least 5 posts and then you will be allowed chatroom access. It will change your title from a "new member" to "member".

I think GRILL is trying to say that this thread is full of spoilers... just a guess.

Well guessed, indeed

 

...

Next map is Pandorica Confirmed, have fun sweetie.

Oh that would be so good. Pandorica, tesseract, aether - it's all in the same ballpark.

...

Yeah, I mean - I primarily use the forum on mobile and it doesn't really effect me too much.

To me, it's like - signatures are where you can really show off who you are.  The avatar is fine, but it's so small.

For me personally, I would rather it be "opt-out" and as @Slade suggested just have a readily available thread for those that find it annoying and want to opt-out.

Welcome to CODZ @

We've got the generic welcome mostly because a lot has changed in the past year, we've added new features and whatnot.  We (the community) handle the heartfelt welcome

Hope you find everything (and everyone) you are looking for.  As @Tac said, let us know if we can answer any questions or be of any help!

holy f***in' sh** is all I can really say.

I'm... yeah... jaw dropped.  Give me the damn season pass.  Take my damn money, just... just take it.

@Slade @InfestLithium

Are you boys updating the list with the Exo Zombies? :3 Even if it's just for this year, that'd be so cool !

If @Slade and I can grab some kick-ass images, we'll definitely work our magic.

*ahem*

*Whistles passively*

I don't think we want to jump the gun on that one either. Let's make sure we don't get extinction'd

@Boom don't you talk about my 'stinktion like that

Maybe its that Bill Paxton guy or whatever his name is. He could have thought something else would happen and it all goes wrong. A bit like a Richtofen character but not insane just knows more than he lets on.

Yeah I think it will be Paxton as well. All the other characters are grunt workers, but he's the only high up. Too bad Gideon is invincible to everything in the campaign, but dies within like 5 minutes of the zombie breakout... in a helicopter...

Can't say I ever expected to have TOO many threads in the off season haha.

Yeah, if you feel a thread is unneeded or could be condensed, feel free to report it to us. We will then take the time to contact the author, let them know of the concerns (all anonymous of course), and hopefully come to a solution.
