If the MPD truly were a prison why would the creators allow for the being inside the MPD to communicate with the outside world? A true prison would have made sure the prisoner would not be capable of forming an escape plan with outsiders

Why would we want shadow Man IN the MPD? Wouldn't that be counter productive? Also the so called great evil should already be in there if it the MPD was powerfull enough to corrupt richtofen by that time.

So far I've been able to cook up multiple reasons as to why the name Griffon's Castle is being used Theory 1 In this timeline it can be assumed that Griffon station never existed due to it not appearing on the Moon. Now if Griffon Castle is indeed this dimension's version of Griffon Station then we must also assume that the MPD might be buried underground somewhere. The MPD is the main reason as to why richtofen decided to build the station on the Moon in the first place. Another aspect of this station that we must look at is the Missiles. Could these be the earth version of the moon missiles? As far as my deductions go I believe each map takes place in yet another time stream. SOE is one timestream, The giant is a second time stream, and Der Eisendrach is a third timestream. My reasoning for this is the scrap of paper we found earlier depicts multiple earths, many of which have been destroyed. But in particular it points to 4 different earths with coordinates to our new locations. Theory 2 Griffon Castle is another location used as a base for people like schuster and Groph. People who deserted group 935 in order to follow richtofen. As we all know, the these deserters built Griffon station on the moon in complete secrecy. There are only 2 known Teleporters that take you to the Moon. The first being in Der Riese and the second being at groom lake. When building Griffon station I am 100% Sure that It would have been too dangerous for any of the deserters to bring in all the equipment through the Der Riese teleporters. Too many people watching as well as Richtofen making sure Maxis Never found out that the Teleporter could transport people or that it was fully functional. Maxis only ever learned of the walnut being successful until he himself was teleported to griffon station. However, The deserters would have also never have been allowed to use the American Teleporter for 2 reasons. The first is the fact that The American's didn't have that technology until After WWII. It was also impossible for a group of German's to gain access to American technology even if it did exist. The American's would never have let them. So Griffon Castle could be the Secret location where all the equipment was transported to griffon station. However this only applies for the original timeline. In our current predicament Theory 3 If we are to assume that we are following an alternate history in the same stream as The Giant then something seems very OFF. Griffon Station is not on the Moon. However Richtofen is STILL at the phase of his plan where he betrays the Maxis and attempts to kill them. So somewhere out there, the MPD has just been opened and that location is NOT the moon. There are hints that there is some sort of excavation going on under Der Eisendrach. Blundell himself states that there are massive deposits of 115 in this location. How else to obtain it than by digging deeper? Which gives me a hint. In this timeline what if the MTD actually did not go to the Moon and Shangri-la but rather took Maxis into the dark tunnels under the castle? And then Stranded this version of Samantha in some unknown location? Now, Maxis might be in the MPD However he cannot locate samantha yet. However how would Maxis have so much knowledge of past events if he is just this world's version of Maxis? Well, considering our crew are currently regaining memories from their other selves then it is possible Maxis has been able to mend minds with other versions of himself. Or, Outworld Maxis has taken control of this maxis's mind. Theory 4 I believe the Iron Dragon is in Griffon Castle. Some of you will get what it means and I'm surprised no one has mentioned it or noticed it before but We Must Awaken the Test Subjects. Awakening the Iron Dragon. The Iron Dragon is Nikolai. Just like The Iron Wolf is Reznov.

The following is merely food for thought….. Food for those who suffer from the Hunger…. It was that fateful day, Long ago when the first prospect of an entire race of beings erupted from the fires of a falling star. Deep within the ghastly swamps of Japan Group 935 would take certain actions that would doom the earth to a constant cycle that has yet to be broken. The element was experimented on by the Germans in was at the time known as the greatest war ever witnessed on the planet earth. The element was distributed to locations all throughout germany in order to better study it and advance technology far beyond human comprehension. However by this time the earth's fate was already sealed. Before the end of the War the Element was distributed between lesser known group 935 bases. In one of these locations the first of a new breed of being would step foot into an already dying world They were not what the scientists intended to create at all, Mistakes, accidents..but overall, Experiments gone wrong. However all mistakes will always find a way to be known..... Like infant children they crawled into the world and were mindless as the rest of the abominations that surrounded them, their only drive was the craving for flesh. However there was something more that was unexpected of these creatures......They began to Evolve By the time the Mad Doctor encountered the creatures a second time they had learned how to manipulate the rift to some extent. They could now teleport themselves short distances by travelling through the Aether. Somehow, life had found a way. As the Chaos ensued the Mad Doctor took control of the Mysterious MPD and thus the Creator, Their God, sent down the Moon rockets to stop the Mad doctor's plans. The earth was left, in an almost uninhabitable state where the Dead rose and at the flesh of the living. However one creature among these unfortunate beings thrived and began expanding it's territory. The Nova crawlers no longer crawled like children but became Agile, smarter and began hunting in groups. They were not like the mindless dead that inhabited the Earth, however they were neither human, they were better... and one day Humans would vanish entirely from the face of the earth, becoming nothing more than legends Countless years, decades, centuries, millennium, passed and the Earth withered in the darkness of space. However those who escaped long ago had now evolved further. They learned to fully control their powers over the Rift, they could now teleport anywhere and any time they wished. They no longer had to crawl, and they came in different forms each with different attributes. However as they became even more self aware of the secrets of time and space they realized that the time stream was broken, and a Paradox threatened the very existence of all universes. Thus a new Order was born The Keepers........ Sworn to protect the Multiverse, to set the time stream right and end all paradoxes However the Keeper's ideals were frowned upon by others of their kind. For they knew what fixing the time stream would mean. They were born from a paradox, and in order to protect their own existence they opposed any attempts from the keepers to negate their birth. Apothican's, Beings that will do everything in their power to continue their existence and prevent the Keepers from fixing the Master Paradox that brought them into existance The Apothicans would then send down their own Star to the past, in order to ensure that they would be created so many eons ago However neither the Keepers nor the Apothicans could possibly imagine what other darker force lurks in the shadows, waiting to be awakened

Edward has a secret. Something he can NEVER let the other 3 Know. What if Takeo, Nikolai and Dempsey don’t really exist? What if these 3 were created for the sole purpose of saving the Multiverse? These 3 test Subjects were Super Soldiers created to Aid Edward in his Plan to collect the artifacts and set the timeline straight. However they were also given false memories to motivate them into doing what they need to do. They believe that in saving the universe they will be able to go home to their families, their old lives and their homelands. However these characters may not actually have a home to go back to. We now know that there are multiple time streams and universes, and possibly only one that is the “Right” version. I do not believe we have seen the right universe yet and the closest we have ever gotten to seeing the normal timeline was the Nacht-Moon Timeline. We know Samantha owns 4 Toys that resemble the original Characters in their Black Ops timeline forms. However why would she have these toys? We also now know that the Maxis in the House is a Real person who communicated with us in the game and the 2 Children have been sent away from the house meaning that the House is not just a representation of her Mind in the MPD. So either the Dolls were always just Dolls or they were modeled after the characters themselves. There is another place we see a glimpse at the Dolls. This is in Samantha’s Room in Kino Der Toten. Now, Imagine that The room we see in Kino is Samantha’s actual room from when everything was Right in the world. In this world she still has her toys of the Original Characters and she sees them as Heroes. They are her soldiers, Her protectors. In order to Protect Samantha after the “Evil” is awoken Maxis Created the heroes in order to help the situation. He chose the form of the Toys because as we know, Samantha was lonely after her mother died and like many kids in real life, she sees her toys as not just her play things but also her companions. Kids often talk to their toys as if they were real. However over time Richtofen became corrupt and likewise corrupted the other 3 Leading them to become the people they were in the original timeline. Once they started over again they are seen in a new form ready to do battle once more. Samantha Trusts the new versions of the O4 because they are uncorrupted (Yet). However if they are to become corrupt she will do anything to defend herself from the Monsters that are coming for her.

Ok, so for the past few years we’ve analyzed every map, every easter egg, even scraps of papers we find on the ground. We have achieved great results but we are still left with so many questions. However I believe I have discovered something no one has ever even paid attention to at all. The portrait of Roebuck in Five. Now, many people have looked at this portrait and just dismissed It as a mere reference to W@W. However I believe we have completely missed the implications that ONE portrait has on the Storyline, especially now more than ever. We now know thanks to the Giant that their mission is to set everything right again. This means that the Zombies Universe has a certain way that it needs to go. The Timeline is supposed to happen in a specific way to make it “right”. Now, This is where the portrait of Roebuck comes into the Storyline. The fact that the portrait even exists is evidence that Roebuck was a person who lived in the zombies timeline at one point and he fought in the battle of Peleliu. This implies that the Zombies storyline was once the W@W campaign universe. Characters like Kennedy, Nixon, and Castro existing in this Universe does not count as evidence towards both universes being the same due to these characters also existing in our own history, however Roebuck exists only in the Campaign Universe So what does this mean? Well, it means that at one point the Zombies universe was normal and events happened the same as they did in the Campaign. However at one point in this Universe the timeline deviated due to an outside force. It is possible this outside force was the Shi No Numa meteor which is implied to have been sent to earth on purpose. Once the meteor landed It changed the events that would have happened and instead started spawning Zombies. Each time the Timeline deviated it created another parallel world, another earth, another timeline. These are the timelines we need to destroy according Richtofen’s Notes. However knowing this another theory comes into play. The fate of our characters and whether or not they will survive which to be honest has been obvious since Black Ops. However that theory will be for another day, another time....

We think we know everything that happened during Moon. Mad scientist launches the Rockets at earth in order to Break the Rift…. But what if we had it all wrong? What if the missiles were originally meant to stop the opening of the Rift? In the 1960’s WWII was over and the united states salvaged remnants of group 935. They discovered, research, The uses of Divinium, some Live specimens and even the advanced teleportartion systems from der riese. They reverse engineered much of this and even managed to perfect Teleportation so that it allowed undead matter to pass through it. They created the Winters Howl and even installed a pack a punch inside the conference room. However they also discovered something else. Something they were experimenting with. The Rift. The Rift at the time was not yet broken yet scientists found a way to Open the rift in certain Locations. They Succeeded in doing this and gained knowledge of not just time but possibly space as well. It is possible that Marlton was part of the scientific team that was in charge of handling the experiments due to his vast knowledge of weaponry that had yet to be invented for at least 60 more years. As stated before by another member of these forums JFK has knowledge of an event that happened after his own death. Then Came Moon. During the events of Moon This research team was conducting these experiments. Which is when the Moon Missiles hit. One of which hit in Nevada. I propose that the missile was Aiming for the “ Drills” Located in different parts of the world. Maxis knew that if the “Drills” remained active Richtofen could easily use them to his advantage, so he destroyed them. Basically what we are doing is Tranzit, Die Rise, and Buried is converting the Pylons into Rift “Drills”. The Rift drills act the same way as the Gateworms in Shadows of Evil work. 4 of them are required in order to open up the rift. The 3 Missiles destroy 3 drills and it is possible that 1 more exists that has yet to be broken. There is actually evidence that if this were to be true Maxis knew that one would still remain active. He never says that the Missiles will Stop Richtfen but rather minimize the Damage he could do. This Damage is not a reference to the Damage he would do to earth but rather the Damage he could do to the Fabric of reality.

Xmas 2015 Day 4: New Creatures and Zombies The Night Gaunt: A winged monstrosity with no face and black leathery wings and a black tail. Night Gaunts will spawn every few rounds and will begin to Lift Perk Machines. If the Night Gaunts are not killed in time they will steal the perk machine and the machine will not come back until the end of the next round. The Keeper Knight: Long ago the Keepers and the Templars allied themselves against a great evil. Those who fought alongside them still answer the keeper’s calls even after Death. These Zombies are clad in heavy armor which protects them from bullets and grenades. However they can still be defeated if you shoot them in the back. However these zombies will always be facing the enemy so they rarely turn their back on you. These zombies are much bigger that the normal zombies and they wield a long Axe which can harm you from a longer range. However due to their weight they are slowed down. The Whispers: Very thin creatures that lurk in the shadows. They crawl similar to Nova Zombies but are much quicker. They are pale and their eyes glow white instead of Yellow. Their bodies are slimy and slippery but somehow that can stay put on the walls. They will jump at players and poison them. While the bite is not lethal it will cause players to go blind over time. Vision will get blurry until you can see nothing but a blur of mixed colors and darkness. In order to cure yourself you need to go to one of the underground lakes and wash yourself off. Whispers give a low screech when they arrive on the map. While they are blind they can still sense you even when you are standing still and being silent. The Creature in the Mist: Every round the Fog/Mist Consumes an entire area in the map. When this happens a creature so terrible and deadly will roam inside it. The Fog/Mist makes traveling the map more dangerous since it forces you to take different paths. The creature in the Mist is impossible to make out so you never see what it looks like but you CAN see it’s silhouette. It will down you in One hit if you go into the fog rooms too long.

Before reading the Theory You should watch this 14 minute video. Once you finish you will understand the theory a bit more So now that you are have heard the story I want to point out some parallels to our own zombies storyline. We've got an ancient race.....a great evil that resurfaces after eons... and we've got body swapping. These 3 Things can also be found in our own zombies storyline. The connection is even greater now that we have Lovecraft inspired lore thrown into the mix. We are currently seeing a battle between 2 Races. The Apothicans and the Keepers. We still do not know if the Apothican's are the only creatures we will encounter ( The Motd Hounds are not Apothicans) but we know that there was a great battle in the past due to the carvings on the wall inside the subway system in Shadows of Evil. We also know there is another species involved in the grand scheme of our storyline due to the Language on the MPD and the Vril Artifacts. Even cuniform suggests an ancient species. Now, Body Swapping. The Yith had the ability to swap bodies through time and space. They would transfer theirselves into the bodies of other beings in order to learn more things. Meanwhile the person who's body is being used resides in the body of the possessor. Something similar happens on the Moon. Richtofen Takes over Samantha's body in order to access the MPD and samantha is forced to inhabbit richtofen's now empty body. We have always assumed the MPD contained a great evil due to Samantha saying the contents are far more terrible than Richtofen, However, what if there is no Evil in the MPD? What if the MPD is not even a prison at all? What if the MPD is a Library? and like the Yith the Creaters of the MPD mastered the art of Time and Space? 115 is known for it's temporal properties and we know time travel is a key element in our story. Wouldn't Knowledge of all of time and space be the ultimate and most terrible weapon if it landed in the wrong hands? Samantha and Richtofen were both driven insane when they came into contact with the MPD. Richtofen and I assume Samantha can hear the voices. These are assumed to be the voices of other beings. The reason I think the MPD might be a Library is because if we are diving into Lovecraft inspired ideologies then it is possible they got some of their ideas from this short story. Only one thing has not been done yet or at least seemingly has not been done yet. A Library containing the knowledge of Everything.

Shadows of Evil introduced us to a new story element that may or may not be implemented into future maps. This element is the Use of Lovecraftian Lore in the form of the Apothicans. Strange Pods growing from the ground and unspeakable blasphemies invading morg city. However is this really the first time we have seen a reference to Lovecraft before? Let us take a look back in Black Ops 2 and World at War as well as take an example from H.P lovecrafts short story. The Colour out of Space. In this short story a meteor falls from the sky and lands in a small town near a farm. Scientists come to experiment on it and discover that the Meteor never cools down and when it does it usually takes a long time. Water around it produces steam and as time goes by it shrinks in size. When the meteor is broken it reveals that the inside resembles Glass and has the distinct characteristic of Colour. Eventually the meteorite vanishes and the people are left to their own devices. However the tale does not end there, hunters notice that the wildlife is changing in the area, they find a rabbit that is deformed and horrendous. Eventually the Crops grow in huge abundance but their taste is bitter and disgusting. Time goes by and animals whither and die. The people begin to go insane until they start to deteriorate and die off in gruesome ways. Eventually whatever was in the meteor begins to rise from the contaminated well and blasts off into space in an array of colors. However one Small piece falls back into the Well. The range of this infection seems to spread an Inch a year. I tell you this story because it has parallels to our own storyline. Shi No Numa takes place in Japan after a meteorite is discovered in the swamps. Of course, this meteorite causes the dead to reanimate but something new was just implemented a few years ago during Origins. In the Cutscene the Meteorite is shown to have landed prior to 1917. Now, this could just be the same event in another dimension but as seen in The Giant we know that Multiple Universes have very similar events occurring at the same exact time. So if we are to assume that the Meteor in Shi No Numa is the same meteor we see in origins then we can safely assume that 30 years later the meteor has still not cooled down. We can also see that the Origins meteor fits the description of the meteor from H.P Lovecraft’s story. When the surface is cracked the inside is like glass displaying Colour. 115 which is found in the Meteor has the same effect as the story. The people begin to whither away and die and animals suffer grim mutations. Zombies and Hellhounds. Hellhounds are shown to have been a product of the Der Riese incident however their first appearance was in Shi No Numa.. So what does this mean in our storyline? Did I just state something that has already mostly been said for years already? Well, here is where it gets interesting. There are some possible Origins for the meteorite in H.P Lovecrafts story. it could have been crafted by beings from another dimension and deliberately sent to earth. Evidence in the story comes from the fact that the radiation spreads one inch a year and how given enough time the entire planet would eventually be engulfed in a Plague which destroys the earth completely. The same can be said for the Zombies meteorite. It was because of this One event that eventually led to the Rift being broken during the events of Moon. It is possible that the Meteor was sent to earth during a critical time in history where it’s scientific properties would be used to create weapons and devices. It was World War II when the meteor landed in Origins timeline, however in the First timeline it could have landed during WWII. What do these 2 events have in common? They both landed during a time of great conflict, when scientists were racing to create a weapon to win the war. It is possible that these meteorites were sent to Multiple realities in hopes that one of these dimensions would eventually and foolishly break the Rift. Without 115 the Teleporters would not have been perfected. The moon pyramid would not have been discovered. Griffon Station would not have been built and the Missiles would have never been sent to earth. There is also something else that casts a shadow on the future. The meteorite surges with electricity. Objects that are teleported often surge with electricity shortly after being teleported. Hellhounds do this, The mainframes do this, and apparently do does our meteor…

Xmas 2015 Day 1: The 5 Evils Theory Welcome to Day 1 of the Black Hand Holiday Spectacular. Last December I made 25 Posts. Well, this year I want to try to Top that with 25 Brand new Posts. So without further Ado let’s begin with Day 1 which I call. The Five evils theory So, Lets talk about the Shadow Man. This Apothican trickster confronts The Shadows of Evil characters into opening the Gateway allowing him to destroy their Dimension. However he says something really interesting “ Your service to the overlords is appreciated, Our complete assimilation of this dimension shall now proceed. ” This indicates that aside from Shadow Man himself there are multiple beings just like him who are in control of the beasts. Multiple Evils. At the end of SOE Shadow Man ( The Squid) is trapped in the Summoning Key, Perhaps even harnessing his power. At this point Edward takes the key and vanishes into the Rift My theory is that aside from Shadow Man There are 3 more Overlords we have to face and Capture. I believe these 3 evils are the brethren of the Evil trapped within the MPD. The Overlords are going through Dimensions looking for something in order to free the great evil that was sealed away long ago It is possible this has been mentioned before in the most unlikely and insignificant of maps. Die Rise. If we listen to The easter egg song in Die rise we get references to the plague in London. Even the name of the song, We all fall down, is a reference to the nursery rhyme, Ring o Ring o Rosies which is believed in Urban legend to be about the London Plague. We get a reference to London in Shadows of Evil when the fruit seller mentions something similar to the events of Shadows happening in London years ago. People getting sick, and wasting away. Then comes a certain line…. “The martyrs brethren were not to be set free.” According to moon there is a Something far more terrible that richtofen lies in the MPD. We are never told exactly what it is but we know that whatever it was remains imprisoned in the MPD. Or perhaps the MPD is the Tomb of the great evil. If this so called evil were to be killed it would be seen as a martyr to those who followed it. The Martyrs Brethren. When the Missiles Hit the earth it tore open the Rift allowing the brethren to escape the Keepers. These Keepers would be in a constant battle with the brethren to prevent them from resurrecting the Martyr. Keeping them in check. But when the rift is broken they escape and begin their plans to collect certain artifacts which will allow them to accomplish their mission. Shadow Man Failed his mission when he was absorbed into the Summoning Key so for now I do not believe we will see him again at least until the final DLC. So are these 4 Overlords all based on lovecraftian lore? I think not. I believe each DLC map will have a different theme. Our first theme was Lovecraftian. However we have SEEN what could be another one of the overlord’s work before. In mob of the dead we witnessed 3 Dog heads in the wall coming in from the rift. These 3 Dog heads could be a reference to Cerberus which originates from Greek Mythology. I believe the overlords are each based on an Evil mentioned in certain mythologies and our new mission throughout the DLC maps will be to Sacrifice the overlords using the Summoning Key in order to harness their power. Shadows of Evil could be foreshadowing the future. 4 gateworms were needed to open up a gateway so perhaps 4 more BIGGER sacrifices will be required of us in the future.

I agree with Way 2 Good. I would love to have an audio strategy guide so I can listen to it on my way to work on the bus

Brand New Update! Also Last night I got over an Hour's worth of new footage in theatre Mode. So this weekend there will be more Sexy pictures.
