I think in all honesty, zombies is dead (pardon the pun) in it's current guise, Treyarch have killed what was a fantastic game mode. Now that it is every year rather than every 2 years or even 3 for that matter it's just becoming over the top and people are just not investing into the game in ways that it was in the past. We are seeing a huge drop in activity and we are all questioning whether it's time to continue or to fade away, some are fading away.

As it stands, the community doesn't seem to be that interested to be completely honest and I blame Activision for chasing the $$$$ and letting game be saturated - we don't need it every year, but we do need a 2 year cycle with DLC drops over the two years (4 DLC's a year) - that's what people want, that's what people demand. £90 a year for a game and DLC season pass is too much and the fact we have had no innovation for at least 4 years (shame shit, different year).

I've always seen you as the boss of this site, and its too bad to say bye to you. But its bye and no goodbye, and I'll see you again later. For everything you have done here (I believe you were even the one who bought this site and are also the biggest donor), I want to thank you. Good luck in your further life, only Scottish guy I ever knew.

I'm not leaving, far from it - just can't be bothered with zombies in general at the moment.

I'd definitely like to see the forum tackle ZiS. I can't quite remember if we did much with Exo-Zombies, but I think since we are Call of Duty Zombies (even though we are Treyarch focused), we need to focus on all aspects of it. Infinite Warfare's out real soon, and we don't have a subforum made for it and ZiS yet.

I echo your sentiment, only big issue for me - is I HIGHLY doubt I'll be buying the game.

GOW 4 any good?

Dunno, let you know when I shove it on lol

GoW4 and Battlefield 1

The site won't be shut down anytime soon ;)

No doubt many of you will have noticed that I haven't been around as much lately, it's due to several reasons, work, family, life etc. but the main reason for my absence. Is I simply have no time for the game anymore, I have lost all affection I had for the game and it's had a knock on effect with loss of interest with the gamemode, site / community.

It's not that I don't want to play but I'm more interested in playing BOI or BOII and Der Eisendrache on BOIII - the rest of the maps on BOIII I couldn't care less for and I've hardly played anything since April.

I've decided that I'm not leaving the site but my activity will be greatly reduced but I'll still be around in the background and I'll ensure things are running smoothly. I don't want us going back to the dark days of going down at the end of each month but I also think we may need to consider our costs going forward as well. I've spent a lot of my own money on the site/forum/apps as have the others members of staff and those who have donated - which is why we won't leave you in the lurch.

It's a shame, I had a lot of time for this game but I'm also getting old (auld as the say in Scotland) and I've found myself generally play games less and less and watching more TV such as politics and documentaries and so forth (definately an age thing). 

Anyway, that's generally the reason why I haven't been around much, hope you all understand but when the affection goes, you can't do much about it but hope that maybe it returns in due course but with how Treyarch zombies went this year I find it highly unlikely that I will be putting any further funds towards any Call of Duty title.

Sorry folks not been around much, not got any plans for the comics as of yet. I haven't even contemplated doing anything, to be honest I haven't been very active recently at all.

Frankly, I hope Treyarch take the severe criticism they have received for Black Ops 3 and return to the roots and listen to the community, get involved with the community and actually have a good and decent strategy going forward - I doubt I see myself buying another CoD title to be honest. I only bought 2 and 3 for zombies and 3 was a huge two fingers to the community as a whole. The GM's came into the game for one reason only, to make it easier for the new players to play - not to enhance the game in anyway shape or form, as they didn't.

Maybe, just maybe we are clinging on for something that simply isn't there and we have been shat upon from a great height?

I just want to give a shout out to @LiamFTWinter - I've been watching some of his videos over the course of the year and more specifically since the DLC season ended with Revelations.

You are the only YouTuber that I know that is saying exactly how it is, how piss poor the ending was and generally just poking fun at them. It might not be the intention but it's how I'm viewing the videos. The reaction of you versus the other YouTube artists is deafening. You are like "WTF was that" and the others are like yeah, that was great and the reaction and faces of them and the attitude of the other YouTubers tells a different story. However, to stay on the good books, they all say it was great but think completely differently (at least in my view and the views of some others I have discussed it with).

If you are thinking along the same lines as me and that's probably not, BOIII was awful very sub standard and way of the original storyline.

Anyway, I just wanted to say kudos for being honest. 

As much as I love Zombies and the Treyarch incarnation of Zombies, one thing always pops into my head.

They can't code shit.

Whoever does the coding for them are awful, piss poor at using the engine they use, and as @DeathBringerZen has said in the past. Try and recall bugs with SledgeHammers Advanced Warfare that are as bad as Treyarchs. It could be the engine, it really could be but I blame the devs. All versions of CoD by Treyarch have been buggy as hell.

Anyway as it was said earlier, it's called Samanthas curse and happens when the game thinks you are trying to cheat, why it thinks you are tyring to cheat though is beyond me.

Is now fixed.

This is one of my all time favourite tracks, along with The Pulse and Beyond The Clouds (both on this album). Trust me, when yer spaced and just enjoying the music, they send you to a different dimension.

and if you want a real head fuck, this is the type of things I would listen to non stop.

and to top it all, a video from one of the ReZerection events - was at this one.

and Ultrasonic live at Fantasia the Big Bang

So I did an introduction many many moons ago but a lot of people probably don't know who I'am.
 

I'm Craig, born and bred in Edinburgh, Scotland and now reside in a town called Cowdenbeath, an old mining town. We still have a one or two open cast mines (top the ground, rather than underground). I'm 39 years old and have 3 great kids, Brandon 12 (an avid zombie player), Lauren 9 and has a rare condition called SMA-LED with cortical dysplasia and Rebecca 9.

My lovely wife Lisa has had to put up with me playing CoD or Medal of Honour games for over 10 years, although my "addiction" with zombies, really only started just before Black Ops 2. I was sick and tired of playing multiplayer and I dabbled with zombies now and again.

I work as a technical drawer (CAD)/ detailing / designing in the window industry. Think grand designs and you'll get the picture of the types of windows and costs of those windows (they ain't cheap and neither are my services ). My passion is energy conservation, which basically means conserve the energy you use, reuse the energy you create before you think about renewables. I done correctly and a house is built/designed to PassivHaus standard, you can reduce energy usage by up to 93% drastically reducing heating bills.

As I said early, I really got into Zombies with BOII and my favourites maps are MoTD and Origins, I know a lot people knock BOII and I can see the reasons why but it was a decent game and maps. I've been playing games since the very early 80's starting with the Atari, the Spectrum was my next port of call and I recall going thtough many a game, jostick and tape deck (due to the game failing to fecking load) - Daley Thomsons Decathlon cost me many a joystick.

My time these days in pretty much gettings kids ready for school in the morning, off to work, home, cook dinner, get kids ready for bed and then maybe a couple of hours game time if I can be bothered. Although I do make an effort to get a game going with the team. 

I taught myself pretty much everything I know about running servers, system administration and computers/html/ myself. Although Danny is my goto man for these modern standards, I know my way about css a lot more now but Danny knows more than me. I've been running forums for over 16 years and ran a very successful forum dedicated to a good friend of mine DJ Tom Wilson, who died in 2003 from a heart attack. He was a very popular DJ in Scotland and was pretty much the granddad of Hardcore/Techno music and introduced it to the masses on Forth FM (radio station in central Scotland).

The 90's had me going to many events and clubs such as the FUBAR, Nosebleed, Metro, ReZerection, Fantasia. My favourite band is Ultra-Sonic.Honestly, for my era and the genre of music I enjoy listening to, they are the dugs danglies and I know both Roger Hughes and Mallorca Lee who are the orginal founding members. Privilege to know them and many of the other DJ's in the Scottish scene.

Anyway, thats a little about me, if you want to ask me anything feel free, if you got to the end, congrats, if ya skipped and replied - shame on you :)

This is it my friends, nothing less, nothing more - this is it - get used to it. We all got screwed.

The should have listened to the community more, not just pander to the YouTube community.

Blacks Ops 2 was the start of the downfall but they could have recovered it substantially on BOIII but failed miserably.

Apologies, for the downtime with the LFG - unfortunately a patch is not going to work for this issue and it needs a completely new version. We are working on it and should have something available next week.

We know how frustrating it is and appreciate the patience.

Agreed, NDT was about survival and seeing how many rounds you could achieve, the story only developed later. 

As far as storyline, it didn't really start to develop until Der Reise, didn't it?

From WaW through to Black Ops 3, map by map, game by game - what remains unanswered, what has been answered, when did the story divert from what was originally being told/did it divert? When did apothicons and margwas first get introduced what was the purpose, did the ending answer everything, was it a good or bad ending?

Lets keep it on topic and factual please.

Honestly, if Blundell is the story man and responsible for the direction - which we know he is. Then he is solely responsible for BOIII and the utter disgrace he brought to the franchise and to the ending of this story.

We bought into this for years and all he has done is ignore pretty much everything that was before BOII and took us on a widl tangent of aliens and apothicons and utter fucking drivel.

Compete and total waste of my time to be honest, I only like Der Eisendrache and Gorod Krovi, even BOII was better than this shite (in fairness two of my favourite maps were on BOII, MoTD and Origins).

@Mods, just take a look at this http://www.callofdutyzombies.com/wiki/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges

You see the recent wiki changes: RadZakpak creates a page, and immediately after that, the wiki is spammed full again by these bots. This happens all the time. I don't know how they got on this site, but there is a way to prevent this. I hope it is possible to create the idea Rad and I suggested.

I'm on it and will get it looked into and see what I can do. The wiki and the site are independent and seperate sign ons, other than make restrictions, the only other options is disabling new registrations and manually adding users as the lin between the two is proving difficult.

If you are aware of this new feature called clubs, this is now available for all Xbox One preview members, if you aren't then this is a new feature along with "looking for group" that will be coming to Xbox soon.

We have an official Xbox One club and anyone can join, if you want to search for the club, go to communties, then clubs on xbox and search for CoD Zombie Forum. 

For more information have a look at the following article - https://news.xbox.com/2016/09/06/xbox-clubs-lfg-preview/

It's available now, looking forward to seeing you all.

Thanks for the patience today, the update took longer than anticipated as an issue with connectivity with our ftp server and IPS server was encountered, it menat that we had to upload all files rather than the updated files which takes a little longer as you can appreciate.

We are back online but we need to update the theme to take account of some styling changes and new features functions and fix a couple of bugs. Howeever we can't process the theme update due to a memory error when uploading this file and we have a ticket open for this again (it was supposed to be fixed in this version but it hasn't been) - if you notice anything, please let us know.

I took the plunge and watched a bit of The Relaxing Ends stream on YouTube and I have to say, I impressed with how they have put all the maps together to form one map. It appears to flow pretty well.

Anyone who has played got any opinions on the map layout?
