Teleporters - Swastika compared to Iron Cross

[NZheadshot1]

Here's a picture of one of the teleporters we all know and love. Note the swastika on the top

Earlier today I was looking at the Map Pack 3 poster, and noticed THIS teleporter. Note the cross on the top.

Ok this is all I could find that seems to relate to Nazi Zombies: The Iron Cross was founded on 10 March 1813 in Breslau.

If anyone knows why Treyarch decided to switch the cross with the swastika, please say something.

[Kimo]

probably just decided most people would recognize the swastika

[mick saints]

because if they made the iron cross crooked it would look like an X.

[blueandproud]

the iron cross is a sign of germany swasticka sign of nazism

[thegrix]

Well, if Treyarch's intentions were indeed to have "Nazi" zombies, the swastika is much more visually renown than the iron cross, and people would relate the swastika easier to "Nazi's" than the iron cross.

I'm sorry, but Treyarch doesn't do things like this on accident. They always said to pay close attention to EVERYTHNG that they did.

The Iron Cross is actually a sign of Germany's military. My theory is that Der Reise and the rest was an idea conceived before the Nazis took power, and it was run by the military. When the Nazi took power, they took control of the project (Who wouldn't want an army of undead to take over the world?!).

Well obvously Group 935 has at least SOMETHNG to do with the German government - "Sopha, Drect ths message mmedatley to the Rechstag Hgh Command" the Rechstag Hgh command was defntely a huge part of Germany's government system. (The Rechstag s the captol of Germany for those of you that ddn't know...

So Treyarch probably dd t on purpose n order to hnt at the actvty between Group 935 and the German Government

[FieldMarshall]

Using nazi images could be bad advertising maybe? lol

[football5699]

^^^^^^^^ that is actually wat i was figuring too.......people are very sensitive and strict about advertising with the swastika

[agaguk]

The Swasitka is illegal to show in Germany. That's probably why.

[Darknova XP]

It's most likely this. If everyone remembers that map... at the Brandenburg Gate. I believe that had the same iron cross in the advertisement images but the swastika in gameplay.

who is he in the pic cuz u dont play as him

[Phantom]

who is he in the pic cuz u dont play as him

pretty sure they use a normal marine as an example, like the ones in Verruckt or NDU

[NZheadshot1]

who is he in the pic cuz u dont play as him

That is absolutely terrible logic no offense...

[Darknova XP]

who is he in the pic cuz u dont play as him

By the looks of it he's screwed.

[Strwrsbob]

More of a PR thing there guys! The image is for MP3, so it would be accosiated with all posts, news, etc. They won't pot the swazstika on it simply because some people would not use the image, and would take offence to it. Simple as that, when there is a swaztika in a M game, its under the rating, but if its a public image it has to be otherwise.

[BBS]

As Darknova kinda said, The MP map "Breach" originally had swastika's on some drapes in the map. But I believe they patched (No pun intended) it and changed them to Iron Crosses.

[Anti Earth]

By the looks of it he's screwed.

And if that 115 links up, he's also just zapped himself

And the teleporter is using itself, so a 'no go' for him there

But anyway, the cross does look like the Templar symbol

and most accuse the Illuminati of being the modern equivalant of the templars...

But I'm putting my money on german political sensitivity :)

[Strwrsbob]

Read above post? lol

Just a PR thing guys, just like how they had to patch the swazitikas on that MP map.
