The real problem for me is that the maps are too quest oriented. Tranzit could have been an amazing map, they focused too much on restricting us that it made the map, at least in my opinion, terrible. The fog coupled with lava and the denizens were just too much. They tried to go too big and it went wrong. On top of that, with Shadows of Evil we have elements inspired from the Cthulhu Mythos. Like what @NaBrZHunter has in his signature, these elements that they are bringing to zombies really takes it away from what made the older maps great. However, by no means am I throwing Black Ops 3's zombies into the dirt. Yes there are elements they use that I dislike, but that is what an opinion is. I'm just disappointed that they keep trying to make the maps more and more complicated, that they lose sight of what made zombies so great in the first place. The feeling the old maps had and the survival aspect was always the thing that drew me to zombies. More doesn't always equal better. It's really good to see people's different opinions.

I fully agree with you. Why dont they make just a relative small, indoor, creepy map once more? I guess this would be sold bad, and thats why they dont do it, but they could make a DLC with beside a big complicated map, a small, simple creepy map for when players played the other maps for too long and want something different. Just survive.

That's one problem that many theorists have. So many Easter Eggs in maps are just that, Easter Eggs in every sense of the term. They don't really hold any significance other than to reference something else. People read way too far into these, which causes problems when theorising.

Little references are great. People just need to understand the difference.

Yeah, that are the origins of easter eggs: Something the developers just liked to put into the game, more for theirselves then for the players, just for fun.

However, the new easter eggs look more like "missions" or "goals". Not that I dont like them, in fact, I like these ones more, but it arent really easter eggs anymore.

Welcome IntrinsicSavage, always nice to meet new people. Hope to see you around here.

Maybe in the newer universe, but Maxis from the Black Ops 1 universe was definitely human. In the radio in Der Reise, when Samantha runs into the teleporter where Fluffy had emerged, Dr. Maxis runs after her. Also, in Moon there is a radio where Maxis is angry with Richtofen and promptly turns around and storms out of the room and slams the door behind him. You even hear his footsteps.

Yeah, Im sure he is human in the beginning of every universe too, however, in the WaW-Buried universe his soal goes into the moon-computers, and after that, he only contacts people via electronics.

In the Origins universe, he's first a german scientist (you see him in the intro), but after he dies, his brain goes into the Maxis drone.

Looks like he ends in a computer in every universe.

I get errors when I press on the links.

Is this normal or is it just my device?

The links look amazing interesting

I wasnt a zombie player in the WaW/BO1 age.

Its sad to hear it was once more fun, but at the other hand, Im glad I didnt experienced it.

I dont miss anything, because Im used to the new maps.

However, with the newest maps I think our actions are always too preconditioned.

Take SoE for example, you always have to do the beast things first, and after that the rituals.

In DE, almost everybody first do the dragon heads, then making the bow and DG-4, and after that some other things.

We do always the same, not like the BO2 days (and probably BO1 and WaW too) when we tried every match an other stragedy.

My bad. I didn't meant to say Multiplayer. Thanks for the catch. Yes Nuketown does take place after the bomb drops at the end of Nuketown from Black Ops 1. That explains why there are zombies there. However, Multiplayer doesn't carry a story to it. So there's no point in looking into any correlations between Zombies and Multiplayer.

Multiplayer and zombies have many connections and multiplayer has many zombie refering easter eggs in it.

However, if these are here just for fun or if it means more, I dont know.

Good one, thought this was about the Wolf King.

Didnt even thought it could be about the O4.

Why would they add paper bags and scatter them? Is this what was missing or "fixed" to complete the EE? Was there anything else "NEW" in the map since the update?

Maybe we can consume or zap the bags once transformed into the beast. I was thinking it was probably similiar to Der Eis. where you fill up those urns. 

Just like in Kino.

There were also paper bags there which (probably) didnt do anything.

Maybe Treyarch saw us trying to do anything with those things to find an EE, and learned from it: "If they did it then, then will do it now too, with a result this time."

I like it.

Good to see the N4 back and No moon --> floods, havent thought about that.

Could be something Treyarch actually takes account of.

One question, are the buildings old/Japanese/wood or modern?

So do we now think perhaps she doesn't accidentally run into the pyramid on moon? The keepers could talk to Richtofen, maybe they made him think he was killing her, just to get her close to the pyramid as it seems she was chosen by them in the first place.

Yeah, I dont think Samantha is dead.

Nightmare Voyager made a theory of Samantha being in Shangri La and Maxis on moon in this universe.

If thats true, Richthofen killed Maxis instead of Samantha (remember this is an other Maxis then the one from Origins for who is set up a beacon in The Giant).

But was it Richthofens plan to kill Samantha?

Sure thing! I hope you take the prize! And yes, kudos on the pic. Appropriate choice for you. Haha!

Haha, thanks, Tranzit is my favourite map, so it had to do something with that

"This is too easy. Who was my IT guy, again?"

-Richtofen, Moon

@Cap1945 haha! That one "I have issue" is so odd. LOL

@anonymous that video, though! HAHA! I wish they would have put even more quotes in there, but still, hilariously done. 

Glad you liked it.

Another one of my favourite quotes

"Are you touching me? No you way touching me" - Russman, Tranzit

I love the way Russman talks

Definitely going to have to nominate @anonymous and @shirtlesservice for putting out great topics that is getting discussion going. You're the real MVPs!

Thanks guys.

I will nominate @NaBrZHunter and @Tac for helping many nembies (including myself) with the story.

Beside you guys say welcome to everybody, you explain the most complicated things and made great theories lately (however, I also read amazing theories from some others, so if you made a good theory, feel attrackted).

A guy named @Difintel also helped me with some very complicated things, but sadly, he isn't online last time.

Hope to see you soon, mate, if you continue like you did last month, I will nominate you too.

Yeah its weird. Im gonna try it an other day (since I dont have bo3) with some friends. If it happens again, I make a video or picture of it

I'm going to nominate @anonymous. Though hardly having been with CoDZ for more than 2 months, he has been an avid learner of the storyline, getting up to speed, and demonstrating a profound understanding and of the CoDZ Code of Conduct, as well as being a 5-star member, contributing to numerous threads, welcoming new users to the site, and helping even newer members to understand the story. Anonymous has demonstrated what it means to be a CoDZer in such a short period of time. We're honored to have you with us, mate. Excellent work!

BUT! Dude, get a profile pic! ;)

Just a couple of things:

Thanks friend, I really appreciate this.

I never thought of a profile picture, but now you remind me, I'll get one.

And if I want to nominate someone fot UotM, should I only look to this month, or to the whole year?

I played this map split screen with some friends and something strange happened.

I was doing the ritual at the docks (it was the 3th or 2th ritual), together with someone else, the two others were outside.

The one with which I did the ritual was down, and I was running trains to get away of the keepers.

Suddenly, a symbol came on my screen, for a very short time (0,5-1 second).

It was the symbol with the 3 arrows aiming right.

Did this happened to someone else once?

Thanks for adding the videos

Same for me, I just made an account to post a topic about the derailed train in Tranzit, and well....

Now I am checking this site almost every day.

Thanks, man! I never have written anything pertaining to this before, but I used to write a lot of music...I'm trying to get it back now. 

If all your songs are like this one, you really should.

"Stay away from my wodka!" - Nikolai, Kino (Da Tweekaz even made a song about it with the vocals of Nikolai: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WCq1cLpyJdA

Awesome, didnt know you made songs like this yourself.

Great lyrics

That was really confusing, even for me.

My take is that there is one world, the world of one, the Prime World, as I call it. That is THE world, the one where the children and the house reside that we must protect from the Calamity inside of the dimensions. In fact, they aren't even really dimensions. I know PTG aren't liked here but they have the name for them "aspects", as in ethereal aspects. Its like this: there is one world, but then we get these aspects of that world that exist, such as an aspect of reality where WaW to BO2 happen, or Origins to Der Eisendrache. They are similar, but a little different. Essentially other dimensions, but in my eyes its all the same dimension, universe or whatever, its just that there is one world that these other worlds are spanning from and going down their paths.

Although I agree about the ethereal plane part, but maybe not the Prime World. It seems like there is the Prime World and then the Aether is separate from that and that's where these words come into play.

Sorry if that was all confusing, but its how I explain it at least.

Could the Prime world, the world with the house with children, be Agartha, the central world?

I am adamant that she is in Shangri La. Not sure where Maxis is since I thought he was in the MPD. But she is definitely in Shangri La. I made a whole theory about it to do with the new Moon loading screen we were shown.

Yeah, I refered to your theory, good one.

When I saw the background of Samantha on the new moon loading screen, I immediately thought of Shangri La too.

Just found out what Dempsey in the der Eisendrache trailer truly means with: "suicide mission", he is gonna kill himself, from an other dimension.

Anyway, great explaination.

It fills up some dark spots which I never understood from the zombie story for me.
