@anonymous I think the play on words of the weapon - "KUDA" refers to a KUDU, a species of antelope.

The Pap'ed KUDA = CROCUTA, a "Spotted Hyena".  The Prey & the Predator.

His twitter handle is "MechaHyena". In SoE, you shoot his boxer picture with the Crocuta & it falls of the wall.

(CotD it's the Scavenger & the Hyena Infra-Dead)

I was looking for this thread regarding the Mark Maestas = HYENA / Kuda / Crocuta easter egg & couldn't find it.

So Shameless bump nearly 6 years later...

Yes this is the IRL location

JDelgado is one of the astronaut names in Moon

Yeah. Now It all makes sense. 
 

The Astro is named either a player in your party/game/friend-list or a Treyarch Dev.

Real digger work, Pinnaz, nicely done! Could it also be D. Jano on the CotD 'Vril map'?

Unfortunately there is no-one in the Black Ops 1 credits by that name

Can't wait to watch that TREYARCH UNSOLVABLE EASTER EGG DISCOVERED AFTER 7 YEARS!1

 

youtube vid now on this

(This is me tweeting btw)

Wow, After 7 Years of making THIS thread, which was a new discovery in TRANZIT of an age old easter egg that pretty much went unconfirmed & unsolved since Der Riese, I think I can finally put to rest the appearence of the "J.D." initials and the word "DELGADO" that appears on the Chalkboard.

I stumbled across this BO3 texture (which I think is from Origins Chronicals - i_p7_zm_ori_debris_paper_names_c

I can't believe it was tweeted out publicly for anyone to purchase it. Wow!

Thankyou again CoDz staff, from Pinnaz

Looks like this had been solved. Can you confirm?

"... MAXIS, HAVE YOU FOUND THE SPACE-TIME COORDINATES FOR THE OTHER INDIVIDUALS I ASKED YOU FOR... ITS IMPERATIVE THAT WE FIND THEM AS WELL... YOU MUST TRUST ME ON THIS... FOR MY PLAN TO WORK, WE NEED THEIR BLOOD"

Pretty sure the only way people are getting textures, is to use a graphics card performance monitor program. (I don't think anyone's been able to get into the xpak image files yet.)

You capture a frame & it exports all the textures/models that have been loaded to the cards memory. 

These programs are used by Devs & consumers to monitor what/which sections of a game is causing load & lag. It's pretty much a debugger. 

Thank you very much @Kalinine (& to GQ)

@DragonGJY Could you perhaps translate some of the writing on the pictures above? There are 8 in total.

I had my 1st & only game last night, solo. I've been pretty much spoiler free for this DLC so I was going in blind. 

Made it it to round 7! Mainly cause I was just looking around & trying to familiarise myself with the layout. 

Saying that, I had 3 downs. All from this Thrasher thing. Spawned underneath me on 2 occasions. On me last he came outta nowhere and I just happened to be stunned by the gas thing whilst a Death Machine Power up was right there. This wouldn't let me pick it up because I was stunned. The Thrasher blocked me & game over. 

Thrasher 3 - PINNAZ 0

The DLC wasn't available last night. Hopefully it is when I get home tonight. 

I'm going to try to get the DNA paper scrap page.

I'll try to get the Dragon blueprint but you need to use "In Plain Sight" GG for that don't you? Which I don't think I have any. 

Afaik the the only way to get textures (right now) is to use your graphics cards performance monitor to capture the loaded textures/models in a frame screenshot. So it's a really slow process. My PC can hardly run BO3 on ultra settings but I'll see how I go. I managed to get some textures from The Giant but they seemed like their sizes were smaller than what they should be. Possibly due to my settings. 

Have you you asked the question on the Reddit page? Let me know if you get a response over there

This is for the Zipline Cipher in Zetsubou No Shima, using a rail fence decypher with 15 rows and an offset of 5.

 

I have figured out the zipline. Thank you Certainpersonio for your help on this, it's well appreciated. This is the zipline message:

 

"division nine project d update to group nine three five the specimens have been manufactured to be asexual we felt it was best to remove the primal urges of the sexes as this will make them far easier to control that being said they are still extremely dangerous you must have the mechanical control collars and proper frequencies set and applied when the specimens reach the juvenile stage after seeing what they are capable of your stalemate on the eastern front with the russians will soon come to an end"

 

I believe this is relating to the blueprints found in the dragon room behind the cracked open eggs on ZNS of the control device. Maybe we'll be able to control them in Stalingrad. Very awesome cipher! Thank you again for your help!!! ?

 

I will be posting a video explaining what this may mean for DLC 3 in Stalingrad!!

New Cipher found on ZNS. It's over by the Green Water. I'm having trouble attaching the picture, but there is the link to the imgur album and here is the original post on reddit.

 

Here is the cipher text as best I can read it:

I would put money on this being the Shino Numa cipher that's found on The List.

Solved the one from the reddit post. Below is the plaintext.

 

While the loss of the Rising Sun Facility was unfortunate, the Emperor was so impressed with our final results that he has approved the construction of the new Division 9 facility on the island we selected. He assured me personally that he will spare no expense in advancing our research. You and I both know that what we accomplish at this new facility will win the war for Japan.

 

What was used was the Vigenere Cipher with the alphabet from The List and the keyword: shinonuma

@Tac

Nice work on the Cipher Solving 

Confirmation that Jesse Snyder is only working on the Campaign mode

I still think is funny that Jesse Snyder, the creator of COD Zombies made Nacht Der Untoten & then left Treyarch to work at Infinite Ward. 

Yet most people hate their version of COD Zombies. 

Wasn't Activision created in 1985? (19-ACTI-85)

Here are a few tweets from @ZCTxCHAOSX 

There are more pictures on his twitter.

And it's interesting because one of the ciphers (specifically the underwater cipher in the power room) says :

To be It is likely that the numbers that are on the fragments will give us information... maybe it is the  molecular mass of that strand

Even though I have no idea what to do here, "Molecular Mass" seems to be the stand out

The Great War -

Dragons = Keepers

Vs

Kraken/Octopus = Apothicons

How about little bump for a thread that was originally posted around 5 years ago. 

2nd paragraph mentions Unit 731 which is now mentioned in BO3 DLC2

An Epic flame war / debate is in this thread too.

A far fetched theory which now has some canon evidence

Awesome job @Tac

100% this is a Genome code / Genetic Code type Cipher.

Looks like it'll be a tough one to crack & I can only imagine what story it holds.

The image above that MixMasterNut has posted is from a PBS Documentary. I thought this video may help somehow

Wow! Y'all keeping Tac busy updating the OP

The Expedition Crew?

At first I thought it was the Nacht Marines, then I thought it might be the Verruckt Marines? Then I thought it might be the O4 test subjects & that's how they ended up at Shi No Numa?

But Brock & Gary?

I'm loving all this backstory tie-ins. But like any Treyarch map, we are left with more questions than answers!

Awesome work y'all!

The Hanging Man in Shi No Numa?

Is there a cutscene uploaded to youtube yet?

Has Takeo been killed?

I highly doubt this side quest has even really begun......

EDIT - Looks like there is a cutscene on youtube already
