bloodfurn Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Is there a thread explaining how TranZit is not a zombie map? I'm trying to explain to this guy how TranZit is not the name of the map, but the game mode you play on Green Run. If there is, can you link it to me? If not, can you please give me a good explanation on why TranZit is a gamemode and not a map?
Edward Richtofen Posted January 10, 2013 Posted January 10, 2013 Look at the title screens when entering a game. Green Run is the location or all encompassing map, TranZit appears only on the gamemode select screen. Calling TranZit the map is like calling Grief or Survival a map.
Megaton A Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 But so far there is only one map that's playable in TranZit mode, so if you're correcting your friend for calling it TranZit... that's pretty annoying, IMO.
CrazyTrain0917 Posted January 11, 2013 Posted January 11, 2013 After you select a map you then select a game mode. Shouldn't be too hard to understand.
DashedDreams Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 He might get confused because when you play TranZit on green run it doesn't say playing TranZit on Green Run under your gamertag it just says TranZit, whereas if you're playing survival it says playing survival on Nuketown/Town/Farm/Bus Depot
MysteryMachineX Posted January 12, 2013 Posted January 12, 2013 There is no single thread that explains this. It is just something known among the people who stop and think about it and unknown to those that don't. We try telling people, but ignorance is the most epidemic of diseases.
Moderators Lenne Posted January 12, 2013 Moderators Posted January 12, 2013 To be fair: The devs have only talked about Tranzit and nothing else. So I can understand why some may think that TranZit is a map,but as soon as they browse through the menu they should get it. My suggestion: Laugh at your friend. No don't do that it would be mean. Show him this thread and he should believe you. :P
Ourobos Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 * To strengthen your point.. This forum right here is the Tranzit forum.. Now we have a Die Rise forum.. What if Die Rise has a trazit mode.. Shouldn't this forum be called Green Run instead?

PINNAZ Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Game Modes - TranZit (essentially still a survival Mode) Survival Grief Turned Maps - Nacht Der Untoten Verrückt Shi No Numa Der Riese Kino Der Toten Five Acension Call of the Dead Shangri-La Moon Green Run Nuketown Die Rise Town, Farm & Bus Depot still fall under the Green Run Map catergory, as it says on their loading screens 'Green Run' Survival Town (and you have just made the thread explaining the differences)
MysteryMachineX Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Following up, PINNAZ, Town, Bus Depot, and Farm are essentially mini-maps within the full map of Green Run. I would also consider No Man's Land a mini-map of Moon.
Electric Jesus Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 The main cause of confusion is that the only tranzit map is green run. Since there is only one map so far, they assume the map is called tranzit because of all of the hype surrounding it. Also MMX, you are absolutely right on almost all that you said, except I sort of disagree with one point. The tranzit forum section revolves mostly atoned strategies and the Easter egg which are specific to the actual mode. This will be further exemplified after the release of die rise. However I do believe that people have been making the same mistake as OP's friend, putting green run stuff in the tranzit section. There should be ANOTHER section for just green run THE MAP and its sub-areas. Tranzit will most likely return in die rise, so at that tine it will be used for more stuff. Until then the confusion between tranzit and green run will be resolved if there is a new section made about green run! Ok, I made that a lot longer than it had to be, so sorry. But you get my point, right? :mrgreen:
MysteryMachineX Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 I wasn't saying TranZit should be removed. I just think it is confusing how they made this new DLC map its own section alongside these MODES. If they are going to categorize maps, then okay. If modes, then okay. But don't mix the two up in the same section, that just confuses people.
PINNAZ Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 There should be ANOTHER section for just green run THE MAP and its sub-areas. There is! Even regular users like yourself haven't noticed it. It's above the Global Annoucements within the TranZit board.
Electric Jesus Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 within the TranZit board. You know why I haven't noticed that? Because it shouldn't even be there! Green run hosts 3 different modes. Just because tranzit is generally seen as the main mode in BOII, doesn't mean green run should be seen as a part of tranzit. Rather, tranzit is a part of green run. Now you might think that THAT justifies it being there, but if/when tranzit returns in DLC, which I have no doubt that it will, it will be a part of those maps too! It can't be exclusive to green run, nor should green run be seen as exclusive to tranzit. It's not even the same... Thing! It ain't the same ballpark, it ain't the same league, it ain't even the same damn sport! it just bottles my mind. You know, mind bottling? Like you're confused like your thoughts are trapped, like, in a bottle?
