  1. Sorry for the double post. But.... I only just noticed this looking back at my post. Can you see the similarities from the Nuketown bubblegum wrapper & the new perk "Electric Cherry" - Both cost 5c - The colours are the same - The Skull inside the Perk Machine resembles 'Mictlantecuhtli'
  2. Argh Mix, King of the loading screens. Such an eye for detail. As you said, the tears on the left are the same as the nuketown LS. These tears are not visable on any other loading screen. I think this maybe one of, if not the first page in the comic, hence why the image that you see from the Die Rise page is not visable. (Note, we never see the completely zoomed out image of the left hand side)
  3. I think the 1360 may be a partial refund to the player that has a perk when the machine is frozen. Both events happen at the same time. The only thing is that we do not know if the blue player has Speed Cola as this point of view is from the White players perspective. It's good that all players get points when the Giant is killed. The final bullet may distinguish who gets the most points or it may vary as to who made the most hit points? I guess we will find out soon enough.
  4. Though the exact dates don't bother me too much, it's good to have a general idea. Though 3arc have used exact dates on numerous occasions. So a timeline should definitely be considered. What really annoys me is the constant reused textures. Textures from the campaign, textures from Black Ops 1, & reused textures in the same map for specific things (i.e. The Jin Mao tower is half reused in Die Rise) Reused textured that are cruical to a definitive story. What should be considered evidence? This is also something I've been meaning to bring up, is the BO1 Project Nova Intel. I’m a little unsure in how to interpret this, but it seems like we are in the present/future & we are viewing images from the past. Everything has already happened. This is my main point of interest. Highlighted in black. “Mirrored device that allowed the viewing of images from the past.” I know that this has been discussed in a few different threads. I thought this info may be useful in this thread.

    Welcome to CoDz! To complete the Moon Side quest you have to collect the "Vril Generator" from Call of the Dead & the "Focusing Stone" from Shangri-La Call of the Dead Side Quest Steps Thread Shangri-La side Quest Steps Thread Moon Side Quest Steps Thread The Vril Generator & Focusing Stone are the only things you need to complete the Moon Side Quest. You Tube search them for a better understanding. I hope this helps EDIT - HAHAHA I didn't see you post Shooter! Nearly Identical
  6. Nice finds there ETEI2NAL. Lots of history The 25th, February 1932 is an interesting date. "Adolf Hitler obtains the German citizenship by naturalization, opening the opportunity for him to run in the 1932 election for Reichsprsident." Hitler had formally renounced his Austrian citizenship on 7 April 1925, but at the time did not acquire German citizenship. For almost seven years he was stateless, unable to run for public office, and faced the risk of deportation. On 25 February 1932, the interior minister of Brunswick, who was a member of the NSDAP, appointed Hitler as administrator for the state's delegation to the Reichsrat in Berlin, making Hitler a citizen of Brunswick, and thus of Germany. There is also something about the date of October 29, 1929 on the paper "Brooklyn Daily Eagle - Wall Street in Panic as Stocks Crash". I think somewhere in here is the Keyword for decoding the cipher. Though I really don't think this era is the setting of the map. I hope we can find out, but I highly doubt it.
  7. I noticed this aswell. The Giant is active in the rounds along with zombies. Here you can see that Round 6 has ended. Blue player must have Speed Cola & may get the 1360 points back as a refund because the giant has frozen the machine? Here Round 7 has started, the White player kills the Giant & gets 750 points for it & the Blue player gets 500.
  8. The BLUNDERGAT More Dragons The Blunderbuss Gun http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blunderbuss The term dragon is taken from the fact that early versions were decorated with a carving in the form of a mythical dragon's head around the muzzle; the muzzle blast would then give the impression of a fire-breathing dragon. Blunderbuss/Dragon Pistol The blunderbuss, and especially the dragon, was typically issued to troops such as cavalry, who needed a lightweight, easily handled firearm. The dragon became so associated with cavalry and mounted infantry that the term dragoon became synonymous with mounted infantry. In addition to the cavalry, the blunderbuss found use for other duties in which the shotgun-like qualities were desirable, such as for guarding prisoners or defending a mail coach, and its use for urban combat was also recognized. Blunderbusses were also commonly carried by officers on naval warships, privateers and by pirates for use in close-quarters boarding actions.

  9. I would think that Brutus would be the 'Giant'. However, Hellhound http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellhound A hellhound is a supernatural dog, found in folklore. A wide variety of ominous or hellish supernatural dogs occur in mythologies around the world, similar to the ubiquitous dragon. Features that have been attributed to hellhounds include black fur, glowing red or sometimes glowing yellow eyes, super strength or speed, ghostly or phantom characteristics, foul odor, and sometimes even the ability to talk.
  10. Hey CoDz, I originally posted this in my thread Right of Discovery - Occupation of Alcatraz & the Medicine Man But I think this deserves it's own thread. I hope you can see the similarities.... The Purgatory/Afterlife Symbol Medicine Man's Eye http://www.whats-your-sign.com/eye-of-the-medicine-man-symbol.html http://www.warpaths2peacepipes.com/native-american-symbols/eye-medicine-man-symbol.htm Native American Symbols, like the Eye of a Medicine Man symbol, can vary in meaning from one tribe to another and across the culture groups of North America. The meaning of the Eye of a Medicine Man symbol is a very powerful symbol. A Medicine Man was believed to have magical powers of Spiritual Healing and of seeing into the future. The outer lines of the symbol represents the four corners of the Universe - North, South, East and West of the physical world. The inner lines represent the Spirit world, which the Medicine Man had knowledge of. The centre circle represents the eye of the Medicine Man and his spiritual vision. You can see the rhombus is concentric - with objects sharing the same center. The outer rhombus is symbolic of a larger (cosmic, universal, worldly) network. For example: The "four corners" of the world, the four winds, the four initial tribes of humankind. The outer rhombus is the MACROcosm, and represents the four-sided structures of the large-scale universe/creation. The inner rhombus is a reflective feature. Because we are talking about BROAD VISION (namely, the eye of the medicine man symbol), we are dealing with themes of metaphysical sight. A medicine man sees with far greater vision that with just his physical eyes. So, the inner rhombus is symbolic of the interaction between man and his environment. The inner rhombus is the MICROcosm, the inner world. The dot in the center is the eye, all seeing, all knowing, and observing the play between man, spirit and environment. It's the objective sight of the macrocosm, microcosm and how each is influenced by their interactions. This is a lovely symbolic testiment to the devotion of the medicine man to see this world (and his/her role in it) with clarity and objectivity. This eye of the medicine man symbol is a statement of spiritual vision - a kind of vision that recognizes the interconnectivity of all things. Their religion was dominated by rituals and belief in a spiritual connection with nature and these beliefs were reflected in the various symbols they used such as the Eye of a Medicine Man symbol. Medicine Man http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicine_man Highly Detailed Articles, too big to post. Must Read - HEALING: THE DIVINE ART - THE INDIAN MEDICINE CHIEF PDF Wichasha Wakan: Medicine Man (Lakota Sioux) Native American Medicine and the Role of the Medicine Man To be recognized as the one who performs this function of bridging between the natural world and the spiritual world for the benefit of the community, an individual must be validated in his role by that community. "Medicine man" or "medicine woman" are English terms used to describe traditional healers and spiritual leaders among some Native American and other indigenous or aboriginal peoples. Anthropologists tend to prefer the generalization "shaman," which is a specific term for a spiritual mediator from the Tungusic peoples of Siberia, and is not used in any other traditional culture. Role in native society The primary function of these "medicine elders" is to secure the help of the spirit world, including the Great Spirit (Wakan Tanka in the language of the Lakota Sioux), for the benefit of the entire community. Sometimes the help sought may be for the sake of healing disease, sometimes it may be for the sake of healing the psyche, sometimes the goal is to promote harmony between human groups or between humans & nature. So the term "medicine man/woman" is not entirely inappropriate, but it greatly oversimplifies and also skews the depiction of the people whose role in society complements that of the chief. Cultural context An Ojibwa Midew ("medicine man") preparing an herbal remedy. The term "medicine people" is commonly used in Native American communities, for example, when Arwen Nuttall (Cherokee) of the National Museum of the American Indian writes, "The knowledge possessed by medicine people is privileged, and it often remains in particular families." Native Americans tend to be quite reluctant to discuss issues about medicine or medicine people with non-Indians. In some cultures, the people will not even discuss these matters with Indians from other tribes. In most tribes medicine elders are not expected to advertise or introduce themselves as such. As Nuttall writes, "An inquiry to a Native person about religious beliefs or ceremonies is often viewed with suspicion. One example of this was the Apache medicine cord or Izze-kloth, whose purpose and use by Apache medicine elders was a mystery to nineteenth century ethnologists because "the Apache look upon these cords as so sacred that strangers are not allowed to see them, much less handle them or talk about them." The 1954 version of Webster's New World Dictionary of the American Language, reflects the poorly grounded perceptions of the people whose use of the term effectively defined it for the people of that time: "a man supposed to have supernatural powers of curing disease and controlling spirits." In effect, such definitions were not explanations of what these "medicine people" were to their own communities, but instead reported on the consensus of socially and psychologically remote observers when they tried to categorize these individuals. The term "medicine man/woman," like the term "shaman", has been criticized by Native Americans, as well as other specialists in the fields of religion and anthropology.
  11. Occupation of Alcatraz http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupation_of_Alcatraz The Occupation of Alcatraz was an occupation of Alcatraz Island by the group Indians of All Tribes (IAT). The Alcatraz Occupation lasted for nineteen months, from November 20, 1969, to June 11, 1971, and was forcibly ended by the U.S. government. Alcatraz Island was occupied by Native American activists for the first time on March 8, 1964. A small group of Sioux demonstrated by occupying the island for four hours. The entire party consisted of about 40 people, including photographers, reporters and Elliot Leighton, the lawyer representing those claiming land stakes. According to the IAT, the Treaty of Fort Laramie (1868) between the U.S. and the Sioux returned all retired, abandoned or out-of-use federal land to the Native people from whom it was acquired. Since Alcatraz penitentiary had been closed on March 21, 1963, and the island had been declared surplus federal property in 1964, a number of Red Power activists felt the island qualified for a reclamation. Indians of All Tribes then claimed Alcatraz Island by the "Right of Discovery", as indigenous peoples knew it thousands of years before any Europeans had come to North America. Begun by urban Indians of San Francisco, the occupation attracted other Native Americans from across the country, including American Indian Movement (AIM) urban activists from Minneapolis. In 1969, Adam Fortunate Eagle planned a symbolic occupation for November 9. Mohawk Richard Oakes and a larger group of student activists joined Fortunate Eagle and changed the course of events. After Adam Fortunate Eagle convinced the owner of the Monte Cristo, a three-masted yacht, to pass by the island when their own boats did not arrive, Oakes, Jim Vaughn (Cherokee), Joe Bill (Eskimo), Ross Harden (Ho-Chunk) and Jerry Hatch jumped overboard, swam to shore, and claimed the island by "Right of Discovery”. The Coast Guard quickly removed the men, but later that day, a larger group made their way to the island again, and fourteen stayed overnight. The following day, Oakes delivered a proclamation, written by Fortunate Eagle, to the General Services Administration (GSA) which claimed the island by "Right of Discovery”, after which the group left the island. Collapse and Removal On January 3, 1970, Yvonne Oakes, 13-year-old daughter of Annie and stepdaughter to Richard, fell to her death, prompting the Oakes family to leave the island, saying they just didn't have the heart for it anymore. Some of the original occupiers left to return to school, and some of the new occupiers had drug addictions. Some non-aboriginal members of San Francisco's drug and hippie scene also moved to the island, until non-Indians were prohibited from staying overnight. By late May, the government had cut off all electrical power and all telephone service to the island. In June, a fire of disputed origin destroyed numerous buildings on the island. Left without power, fresh water, and in the face of diminishing public support and sympathy, the number of occupiers began to dwindle. On June 11, 1971, a large force of government officers removed the remaining 15 people from the island. Though fraught with controversy and forcibly ended, the Occupation is hailed by many as a success for having attained international attention for the situation of native peoples in the United States, and for sparking more than 200 instances of civil disobedience among Native Americans. Today, the Wardens house is a ruin, burned down during the AIM (American Indian Movement) Occupation of Alcatraz on June 1, 1970. Like many sites on the island, the house is reputed to be haunted. Several guards reported seeing the spectre of a man with mutton-chop sideburns during a party wearing a gray suit and brimmed cap, leaving the room icy cold and extinguishing the fire in the Ben Franklin stove. Impact The Occupation of Alcatraz had a direct effect on federal Indian policy and, with its visible results, established a precedent for Indian activism. While the Nixon administration did not accede to the demands of the protesters, it was aware of the delicate nature of the situation, and so could not forcibly remove them. In Nixon’s July 8, 1970, Indian message, he decried termination, proclaiming, “self-determination among Indian people can and must be encouraged without the threat of eventual termination.” Much of the Indian rights activism of the period can be traced to the Occupation of Alcatraz. The Trail of Broken Treaties, the BIA occupation, the Wounded Knee incident, and the Longest Walk all have their roots in the occupation. The American Indian Movement noted from their visit to the occupation that the demonstration garnered national attention, while those involved faced no punitive action. When AIM members seized the Mayflower II on Thanksgiving, 1970, the Occupation of Alcatraz was noted as “the symbol of a newly awakened desire among Indians for unity and authority in a white world.” Moreover, the Alcatraz Occupation greatly influenced the American government's decision to end its Indian termination policy and to pass the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act of 1975. The Alcatraz Occupation led to an annual celebration of the rights of indigenous people, Unthanksgiving day, welcoming all visitors to a dawn ceremony under permits by the National Park Service. These 2 videos some up the first section of my post - both 10 mins Debate on the Rock: The American Indian Occupation of Alcatraz "The Mouse That Roared"- The 1969 Indian Occupation of Alcatraz =================================== “Right of Discovery” - Discovery Doctrine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_doctrine http://ili.nativeweb.org/sdrm_art.html The Discovery doctrine is a concept of public international law expounded by the United States Supreme Court in a series of decisions, most notably Johnson v. M'Intosh in 1823. Chief Justice John Marshall justified the way in which colonial powers laid claim to lands belonging to sovereign indigenous nations during the Age of Discovery. Under it, title to lands lay with the government whose subjects explored and occupied a territory whose inhabitants were not subjects of a European Christian monarch. The doctrine has been primarily used to support decisions invalidating or ignoring aboriginal possession of land in favor of colonial or post-colonial governments. Colonial History The origins of the doctrine can be traced to Pope Nicholas V's issuance of the papal bull Romanus Pontifex in 1455. The bull allowed Portugal to claim and conquer lands in West Africa. Pope Alexander VI extended to Spain the right to conquer newly-found lands in 1493, with the papal bull Inter caetera, after Christopher Columbus had already begun doing so. Arguments between Portugal and Spain led to the Treaty of Tordesillas which clarified that only non-Christian lands could thus be taken, as well as drawing a line of demarcation to allocate potential discoveries between the two powers. United States Law According to the United States Supreme Court's decision in Johnson v. M'Intosh, this theory of Christian expansion and possession of newly discovered lands, despite native presence, was one by which all colonial powers operated. Chief Justice Marshall, writing the decision, held that the United Kingdom had taken title to the lands which constituted the United States when the British discovered them. Marshall pointed to the exploration charters given to John Cabot as proof that the British had operated under the doctrine. The tribes which occupied the land were, at the moment of discovery, no longer completely sovereign and had no property rights but rather merely held a right of occupancy. Further, only the discovering nation or its successor could take possession of the land from the natives by conquest or purchase. Natives could not sell the land to private citizens but only to the discovering government. The doctrine was used in numerous other cases as well. With Cherokee Nation v. Georgia, it supported the concept that tribes were not independent states but "domestic dependent nations". The decisions in Oliphant v. Suquamish Indian Tribe and Duro v. Reina used the doctrine to prohibit tribes from criminally prosecuting first non-Indians, then Indians who weren't a member of the prosecuting tribe. =================================== Some History of Alcatraz Island http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcatraz_Island http://www.alcatrazhistory.com/mainpg.htm Native Americans kept well away from the island, calling it "Evil Island" and believing it to be cursed. The first Spaniard to document the island was Juan Manuel de Ayala in 1775, who charted San Francisco Bay, and named one of the three islands he identified as the "La Isla de los Alcatraces," which translates as "The Island of the Pelicans," from the archaic Spanish alcatraz, "pelican", a word which was probably borrowed from Arabic القطرس al-qaṭrās, meaning sea eagle. Over the years, the English version ‘Alcatraz’ became popular and is now widely used. In August 1827, French Captain Auguste Bernard Duhaut-Cilly wrote Military Garrison The earliest recorded owner of the island of Alcatraz is Julian Workman, to whom it was given by Mexican governor Pio Pico in June, 1846, with the understanding that Workman would build a lighthouse on it. In 1850, President Millard Fillmore ordered that Alcatraz Island be set aside specifically as a United States military reservation, for military purposes based upon the U.S. acquisition of California from Mexico following the Mexican-American War. Fremont had expected a large compensation for his initiative in purchasing and securing Alcatraz Island for the U.S. government, but the U.S. government later invalidated the sale and paid Fremont nothing. Fremont and his heirs sued for compensation during protracted but unsuccessful legal battles that extended into the 1890s. Following the acquisition of California by the United States as a result of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo (1848) which ended the Mexican-American War, and the onset of the California Gold Rush the following year, the U.S. Army began studying the suitability of Alcatraz Island for the positioning of coastal batteries to protect the approaches to San Francisco Bay. In 1853, under the direction of Zealous B. Tower, the United States Army Corps of Engineers began fortifying the island, work which continued until 1858, eventuating in Fortress Alcatraz. The island's first garrison at Camp Alcatraz, numbering about 200 soldiers and 11 cannon, arrived at the end of that year. When the American Civil War broke out in 1861 the island mounted 85 cannon (increased to 105 cannon by 1866) in casemates around its perimeter, though the small size of the garrison meant only a fraction of the guns could be used at one time. At this time it also served as the San Francisco Arsenal for storage of firearms to prevent them falling into the hands of Confederate sympathizers. The island was also the site of the first operational lighthouse on the West Coast of the United States. Alcatraz never fired its guns offensively, though during the war it was used to imprison Confederate sympathizers and privateers on the west coast Alcatraz Citadel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcatraz_Citadel Native Americans, known as Ohlone (A Miwok Indian word), were the earliest known inhabitants of the Alcatraz island before it attained its niche in history as the most secure prison for notorious criminals. Even though they avoided the island as they believed that evil spirits resided there due to the bad atmosphere they got from the place, they were using it for deporting their criminals under the tribal law to live on the island in isolation. They also gathered eggs of birds and marine food from the island. Even after the Spanish discovered the Island in 1759, and started spreading Christianity, the natives who did not want to convert used the islands as their refuge. Hopi Inmates of Alcatraz Citadel During the Indian Wars that followed the civil war, Indians who went against the government were sent to the Alcatraz prison. On June 5, 1873, Paiute Tom was the first native American who was imprisoned there on transfer from Camp McDermit in Nebraska. In the 1870s, Major George Mendell ordered the prisoners, aided by mules, to assist in changing the natural landscape of the island and creating a top level, dumping debris into the coves and bay. Between 1873 and 1895, 32 Native Americans were imprisoned at the citadel on Alcatraz, including 19 Hopi men held in captivity there between January and August 1895 after being transferred from Fort Defiance =================================== In-game References Michael Madsen is "Michael 'Finn' O'Leary" (on left) holding the a Tomahawk Tomahawk retrieving 'Power Up' The Purgatory/Afterlife Symbol =================================== Medicine Man's Eye http://www.whats-your-sign.com/eye-of-the-medicine-man-symbol.html http://www.warpaths2peacepipes.com/native-american-symbols/eye-medicine-man-symbol.htm Native American Symbols, like the Eye of a Medicine Man symbol, can vary in meaning from one tribe to another and across the culture groups of North America.

  12. Brains Rissole. I have read this a few times now, when it was here & also on VB. Great first major post my friend. I'm trying to find a good copy of this book. Maybe I should just buy it. Maria Orsic,Nikola Tesla,Their Extraterrestrials Messages,Occult UFOs Part 1 from a set of 2 Parts: World premiere! A must read book. Absolutely fascinating!!!! The world’s first book on Maria Orsic and the Ladies of Vril, and Nikola Tesla’s extraterrestrials’ connection. Hundreds upon hundreds of photos, drawings and sketches from the original files. Information from secrets files of the NKVD, KGB, OSS, Gestapo, SS, MI5, and intelligence agencies in 6 countries. Everything began with Maria Orsic, including extraterrestrial messages, aliens’ contacts and the UFOs in modern times. The UFO phenomenon, the first contacts with aliens from civilizations beyond our solar system, and extraterrestrials’ messages, all started with an occult-metaphysical-mysticism-psychical movement created by Maria Orsic in 1917, a medium and founder of the Vrilerinnen ( The Vril Society), and based upon messages she received from extraterrestrials from Aldebaran (Alpha Tauri), which contained technical data and precise instructions on how to build a super “Out of this World” flying machine (UFO). I'm Glad you reposted it here for people to see. I hope others do the same.
  13. This is how I understand it. - The radio's & events we hear in Der Riese, happen before we play any map. - Richtofen has already been to CotD (he was stationed there at some point), Shangri-la & Griffin Station. - Griffin Station is now complete & Schuster & Groph have opened the MPD. - Schuster & Groph tell Richtofen (back at Der Riese) that they have opened the MPD, Richtofen then enacts his plans to get rid of Dr Maxis, Sam & Fluffy get teleported aswell. - Richtofen 'Activates the shield' (Creates the Zombie outbreak) & teleports to Griffin Station - Sam ends up in the MPD & Maxis dies at the same time. - Sam knows what Richtofen has done & writes "Teddy is a Liar" everywhere from the Aether? - "Teddy is a Liar" is Richtofen's password for the Griffin Station Mainframe ----This all happens before we play any map---- - Sam is in the MPD & somehow controls the Zombies from the start (what we know only until this day) - We now start playing the maps as Marines at Nacht Der Untoten, which was the second outbreak. - The first is probably Der Riese as Richtofen 'activates the shield', though the first outbreak could be Verruckt or even Kino. In Shi No Numa we hear the 'handler' say "The Giant (Der Riese) must be contained at all cost". That may imply that it wasn't the first. (Nothing has been confirmed of this unlike Nacht Der Untoten) This is what I think, I hope it's not too confusing & may have helped.
  14. Edit - I posted nearly the same thing as Tac. I have more in my Tesla thread somewhere. I don't have the time to dig it up at the moment. The Soviets started something like HAARP in the 1960s. Google 'Operation Woodpecker' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Woodpecker The Russian Woodpecker was a notorious Soviet radio signal that could be sporadically heard on the shortwave radio bands worldwide between July 1976 and December 1989. It sounded like a sharp, repetitive tapping noise, at 10 Hz, giving rise to the "Woodpecker" name. The random frequency hops disrupted legitimate broadcast, amateur radio, commercial aviation communications, utility transmissions, and resulted in thousands of complaints by many countries worldwide. Because of its extremely high power output (over 10 MW in some cases), the signal became such a nuisance that some receivers such as amateur radios and televisions actually began including 'Woodpecker Blankers' in their design. The mysterious and unclaimed signal was a source for much speculation, giving rise to theories such as Soviet mind control and weather control. However, after careful study, many experts and amateur radio hobbyists long believed it to be that of an extremely powerful over-the-horizon radar (OTH) system. This theory was publicly confirmed after the fall of the Soviet Union, and is now known to be the Duga-3 (Russian: Дуга-3) [1] system, part of the Soviet ABM early-warning network. NATO military intelligence had photographed the system and given it the NATO reporting name Steel Yard. Duga-3 array within the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. The array of pairs of cylindrical/conical cages on the right are the driven elements, fed at the facing points with a form of ladder line suspended from stand-off platforms at top right. A backplane reflector of small wires can just be seen left of center, most clearly at the bottom of the image.

  16. Well, what an EPIC trailer. There is so much involved & going on, we were probably not even shown half of it. Great analysis too Mr Lithium. A few things I noticed. Anyone see what I can see? A ramp on the roof! Concept Art? At first I thought this was a Perk Machine? Prob not? Round 6 has ended while the "Boss" is still active. Blue player scored 1360 points? Round 7 has started The "Boss" is killed & the players get 750 & 500 points for it Rather than the Lightning Bolt on the wall directing you to the Power Switch, the writing is directing you to the Docks "Docks" "POWER IS FOUND ON LOWER GROUND" Looks like the Docks, looks like a fair bit of power here And probably my favorite. The BLUNDERGAT More Dragons The Blunderbuss Gun http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blunderbuss The term dragon is taken from the fact that early versions were decorated with a carving in the form of a mythical dragon's head around the muzzle; the muzzle blast would then give the impression of a fire-breathing dragon. Blunderbuss/Dragon Pistol The blunderbuss, and especially the dragon, was typically issued to troops such as cavalry, who needed a lightweight, easily handled firearm. The dragon became so associated with cavalry and mounted infantry that the term dragoon became synonymous with mounted infantry. In addition to the cavalry, the blunderbuss found use for other duties in which the shotgun-like qualities were desirable, such as for guarding prisoners or defending a mail coach, and its use for urban combat was also recognized. Blunderbusses were also commonly carried by officers on naval warships, privateers and by pirates for use in close-quarters boarding actions.

    Welcome back Naitrax, even though this is a late hello from me. It's good to see you very active with some great posts & threads. I hope your doing well & always know you can send me a message here or on Xbox.
  18. Red Eyes, Demonic rituals going on at Alcatraz, = HELL HOUNDS (not my images. This art was found here) - http://www.behance.net/gallery/zombie-hell-hound/742394 I've always liked this wiki description http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hellhound A hellhound is a supernatural dog, found in folklore. A wide variety of ominous or hellish supernatural dogs occur in mythologies around the world, similar to the ubiquitous dragon. Features that have been attributed to hellhounds include black fur, glowing red or sometimes glowing yellow eyes, super strength or speed, ghostly or phantom characteristics, foul odor, and sometimes even the ability to talk. Legend says that if someone is to stare into its eyes three times or more, the person will definitely die. In cultures that associate the afterlife with fire, hellhounds may have fire-based abilities and appearance. They are often assigned to guard the entrances to the world of the dead, such as graveyards and burial grounds, or undertake other duties related to the afterlife or the supernatural, such as hunting lost souls or guarding a supernatural treasure. I'm keen to see this next trailer.
  19. I don't like posting the same thing in different threads, so sorry for the repeat Prison Guard
  20. You didn't post anything? Well not anything I can see on a mobile device. Please write a short description of your topic. This is a text forum after all. Cheers.
  21. I think this will have a major side quest, so like Tranzit & Die Rise, they are the survival game modes which feature the side quests. Green Run & Great Leap Forward were both Historical events so I would imagine that this would continue. The only historical type of name that would involve some type of event would be the Native occupation of Alcatraz - "Right of Discovery" - 1969 "Great Leap Forward" - 1958 "Green Run - 1949" The date may be some type of pattern? If Motd is like Cotd, we may get heaps of backstory tieing a lot of the backstory together. Right of discovery sounds fitting.
  22. It wasn't hard. Goggle images 'Alcatraz Gaurd Uniform'. Plus lots of thing from the preview are shown in documentaries - Broadway, library, 'The Stripcell' Cellblock D14, I'm learning from the best - You, Mix & AlphaSnake to name a few. It's good to see you pop your head in Alpha. The Devil factor in this map peaked your interest. "Devil's Island"
