Thank you very much (The first ones the awards) was the one I was looking for P.s. How do I close a thread

You mean delete a thread or..? You don't close threads, you simply stop responding.

Very cool bud, sounds like you're are in the right place. Welcome to the forum!

Can you guys stop that? I know it's tongue in cheek, but I was actually hoping for a serious discussion.

Removed claptrap...Not issuing warnings, but please try and avoid leaving unnecessary troll posts in topics that are clearly targeted for serious discussion. We're better than that.

Assuming you mean these little pieces of flare right here.

They can be requested right here: http://www.callofdutyzombies.com/forum/index.php/topic/178356-medal-request-thread/

^That's pretty solid reasoning if you ask me

You earn blue by donating to the site. Donation can be found in the right hook on the main page.

Sorry boys and girl...and Slade. Been caught up with work and exo Zombies. Congrats to the folks who received two or more nominations. You've progressed to the next round! Vote it up!

Ahem @GRILL @Flammenwerfer @InfestLithium @FatedTitan and sometimes @

Welcome to forum and from the other coast! Let us know if you need anything!

@Boom Sorry babe, but this game is pretty boring overall. At least that's my first impressions of it.

 

Been playing for 3-4 hours. Missions are uninspired; it's your typical 'here's my chores list' stuff, and the world feels dull and empty. Night mode is freaking awesome though.

Ah I was hoping to get away from the Dead Island dynamic of "I left my pearl necklace at the other hut. Please get it for me!". How long is the storyline playthrough supposed to run?

Boom, sorry, removed pics.

But isnt zombie labs as a name a reference to the Moon trailers, which I thought was cool?

Yeah they are for adding zombie labs as an idea forum. They are suggesting research facility as a name change for future zombies.

Welcome, and nice to meet you! Have a medal

This might sound silly but why can't activation buy out the 3 developers OR contract them all into one big outfit working together. Contract 1 huge team to produce a game say every second year with constant DLC to fill the void?

Be gentle, had a few beers and not much thought in my post. Lol. I'm gathering there is a reason.

My reasoning is by an old saying, " many hands make light work".

Ah I'm jealous ran out of beer and it's too late to get more. Got about a half bottle of bourbon left, I think it'll get me through.

Reason One: Flexibility- Have two and now three developers allows them to produce new games every year. While one dev is putting the final touches on the new release, the other is at the drawing board getting things started again.

Reason Two: Money- Since the hire a third party they only need to pay them when they are on Activision's clock and are not liable for any sort of benefit packages. Once the development season ends they drop them like a bad habit. This leaves 3A/SH/IW to handle the excess of testers/programmers/and other sorts and pay out unemployment or simply layoff. This is a typical practice for large companies.They do of course need to honor their contracts.

@PortlyLlama80 Source?

Thank you!

I'm curious about the gun leveling achievement. Perhaps we'll see some stuff from the standard Exo Survival mode as well? I'm sure it's more that simply purchasing stats but still.

We've already seen guns with mark 2,3,4 ect in the trailers. I'm assuming it will continue all the way to 20, and for 40G I'm sure it's quite a feat.

Wow the last achievement, I was hoping there would be a reference somewhere.

I think it was inevitable.

 

 

We currently have five places solely for general story discussion, and with this model you suggest, it brings it to three. I think we should bring it to two. First, you said you wanted Future Zombies to be a place to theorize, but by that I assume you mean to hope, wish, and predict? Your usage of "theorize" is throwing me off a bit.

Future Zombies- For the casual theorists. Basically threads that do no make it into Asylum.

Asylum- for the hardcore theorists.

Zombie Labs- Essentially feature/map/storyline without any factual basis.

 

I like that set up, as long as the name Future Zombies is changed. To me, that doesn't imply theory, that implies concepts, but apparently that's what Zombie Labs is for. Perhaps we could rename it to be the Research Facility or something like that?

Research Station/Research Facility- I think something along those lines would work fine. We will of course have the short description on the main index. We could additionally pin a forum guide at the top of each, to further refine the forum use.

Rules and requirements

Any nomination, will require a brief explanation, and example links of posts that show the qualities necessary for a User of the Month.

As always, the following rule is required for nominations to be accepted.

@Nightmare Voyager @Black Hand Smith @The Meh

Thank you!

Call me crazy, but I see two of the same section with different headings - Treyarch and Campaign/Multiplayer (which ended up having two of the same names for another category). Am I missing some super secret detail about this?

 

Ah, that's just two images merged together. Not watching the small details at four in the morning.

What if a concept is also a theory of some sort but not actually stated within the map concept. Would that be future zombies or Zombie Labs?

Have any current examples I could reference?

I believe that Tournaments should not be under the Teammate Finder. It's an event that you aren't quite looking for people to play with, but more an organized community event. Therefore, put it under the Apps header with Live Streams, the Calendar, and the Arcade. Not to mention, there's a total of three threads that should be in there. Furthermore, the Teammate Finder and Teams sections need to be more heavily regulated and their roles need to be defined further. I think that the General Teammate Finder section would be if they just need one or two more people to fill in, whereas the teams section should be for Side Quests or just actually getting a team together to play. Right now, there's a hodgepodge of threads everywhere and that needs cleaned up.

I agree, we could possibly expand upon this http://www.callofdutyzombies.com/forum/index.php/topic/177605-welcome-to-teammate-finder/. We could also utilize the calendar function side hook and remove the tournaments section all together.

CoDz February User of the Month!

Nominations open until December 27th, 2014 [Midnight GMT]

Love isn't the only thing in the air this February! A new Admin, and new forum, and of course a new UOTM! Submit nominations for the member you think best represented greatness in the last thirty days. And who knows, maybe you have a few secret admirers yourself...

How it works

Step 1. Browse the forum. Look around, if you really weren't here during the month, please don't put up a random nomination or vote. Just look around. Spend 15 minutes, or even 7 hours scanning around the entire forum! There are lots of great things to read!

Step 2. Decide on your nominations. Pick a few people who you think could be worthy to be added into the poll. You aren't limited to one, but please don't nominate more than a few users. If they're worthy of nominations, they'll be mentioned by someone else. Trust your fellow users, and don't go on a nomination streak, you don't get a care package for 5 nominations.

Also, please read this thread by Ehjookayted on the qualities that are looked for in User of the Month candidates. - Please click here! - There will be cake.

Step 3. Post your nominations, and explanations or example links. When you've decided who you would like to nominate, please post it below in a reply to this topic. I will also be looking for a brief explanation, and/or a link or two showing examples of why they should be User of the Month.

Step 4. Wait. I will leave nominations open for about 2-3 days after posting this thread if time permits. This is simply to ensure that most of our regular users have the opportunity to chip in. Just be patient, and thank you for your time.

Step 5. Vote! Out of the nominations, I will add those that meet the required criteria to a poll, which will run for about 3 days. I hope to end the poll on the last day of each month, but time can be a cruel mistress sometimes, so bare with me if things are a day or so off.

Step 6. Celebrate! Congrats, you helped a great member be recognized for his/her greatness. You should be feeling warm and tingly now. Be sure to congratulate them! After the voting is closed, I will remove the old User of the Month from the title, and the new winner will don the Cyan robe and become our new User of the Month!

Rules and requirements

A user may not nominate themselves or anyone sharing the same IP address. This is to avoid cheating.

In order to nominate a user for UOTM, you must have at least 50 posts, and have been a registered member for at least a month.

A user will not be added to the poll unless they have been nominated at least twice by two separate users.

A user may not nominate more than three other users per competition.

If there is an abundance of votes for two-three users where upon the total number of users is more than six, a second round of voting may occur if requested by the community. The second round will only consist of the top voted users.

A user may not win User of the Month if they have won the title in the last 3 months. A staff member may not win the title if they have won in the last 6 months.

Users will only be part of the User of the Month group for the month after they won. They will however keep a medal to recognize their victory.

Any nomination, will require a brief explanation, and example links of posts that show the qualities necessary for a User of the Month.

A nomination regarding a staff member is subject to the decision of myself and the other staff as to whether or not it should be accepted based on the linked material and/or written reasons provided by the nominator.

Hey Team,

I wanted to talk briefly about the organization of the main page and some areas I personally think are an opportunity. If you are familiar with any of my larger threads you will notice that I am a firm believer of organization and simplification (i.e. A place for everything and everything in its place). Although I never completed this one, it is a prime example http://www.callofdutyzombies.com/forum/index.php/topic/158528-black-ops-2-users-guide-work-in-progress/. I think the current layout of our main page has so many sections that the overall navigation has become difficult if not using New Content or Search buttons. If you take a look at overall utilization of the forums over the last three months, it is clear that we have many forums that don’t require a one click redirect.

Based on the data presented above, here is my suggested reorganization:

Notes:

I’d like to reestablish Future Zombies as a place to theorize, and add a new forum Zombie Labs as an area to concoct and develop idea threads.

Merge all grief and turned topics to one forum. Some of the current forums contain zero posts.

Move topics currently located in General Black Ops and World at War Discussion to General Zombies.

Move Game Lounge and Media Center to Member Lounge.

Merge Gaming Discussion & News and Console Discussion with Off Topic.

No massive changes, but I think this would serve as some much needed maintenance. Again, there is not current action plan in place to make these modifications. Just an idea.

Thoughts?

@PortlyLlama80 Source?

Well I know one thing that is 100% confirmed. I'll be taking Tuesday off.

Welcome to the forum bud! If you need anything at all simply speak my name and I shall appear.
