Talk:Call of the Dead

The bloody hand
Does anyone else notice how similar the bloody hand looks to the one on the quick revive machine. Also, does the wall remind you of a hotel/hospital/asylum, kinda like verruckt? It does me.

^Funny thing is that i thought that ascension would be in vorkuta beacause ascension means upward and thats what they did in the mission, they ascended from darkness.
 * This article will be renamed, according to what treyarch calls it right?
 * Well personally I think its going to be in vorkuta. looks like walls there, yes? also, if you look at books on vorkuta some say "Edward Richofen on the spine. Personal theory. -meh, too lazy to sihn up for wiki. ;)

Actually most books on maps have a book by Richtofen, look around the houses on Nuketown about every 3 books are like that

Since when
did we capitalize "the"? Shameful. -- CoD addict (talk) - 04:09, April 8, 2011 (UTC)

Really?
So since this is called "Call of the Dead" instead of "Survive", we can call the Zoo map "Sieze the" and Stockpile map "Raid the"? Makes no sense whatsoever. TheSuperZeldaMan 05:42, April 8, 2011 (UTC)

Seize the Zoo, the map is Zoo. Raid the Stockpile, the map is Stockpile. Survive the Call of the Dead, the map is Call of the Dead. Why it shouldn't make sense?RC95 12:17, April 9, 2011 (UTC)

Seriously, the names are temporary. No one is saying it is call of the dead or survive for sure. Can we just pick one and drop it? It's a tad annoying that something that isnt even out yet is getting this much attention over its TEMPORARY name. Carbonite 0 19:29, April 9, 2011 (UTC)

To anyone debating the game this is from the call of duty web site. "We can't wait to take the wraps off of our new Zombies map, Call of the Dead, a very special creation for all Zombies fans."

Well, in the picture, it says, SURVIVE CALL OF THE DEAD, and when I was browsing through the cod forums, I found one person saying that maybe you can actually complete this map?

I think it will be that name but in another lanuage, like all the others. Also who is it gonna be? Richtofen and his lot or kenedy?!

at the guy above me(sign ur posts please), its gonna be a completely new cast of characters. at the guy above him, the whole point of the zombies mode is that you dont complete the gameSavagepork 15:07, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

New info
According to Major Nelson's blog today, there is some new info. The name of the map might be Escalation.

"Escalation. an epic Zombies experience with all-new playable characters."

Also of note, there will be 4 new characters, not Richtofen, Takeo, Dempsey, and Nickolai, as is usual. Can someone add this to the page. I don't have permissions.

http://majornelson.com/2011/04/11/call-of-duty-black-ops-escalation-game-add-on/

We already know Escalation to be the name of the Map Pack this is a part of. 17:42, April 11, 2011 (UTC)

He was saying that Escalation might be the name of the Zombies map. Kratos2144 03:17, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

No he didn't please read the article entirely, don't just skim it. It clearly says it will offer a new zombies experience, not that it's named escalation.  Poketape Talk 04:55, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

New Characters
Danny Trejo dropped a bomb on his facebook account. He is working with Treyarch for a upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops “Zombie” map (Map Pack 2).

The new characters will be Danny Trejo, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Michael Rooker, and Robert Englund. "Right Now I’am at The “House of Moves” with Sarah Michelle Gellar, Michael Rooker, and Robert Englund, I’am Wearing A Suit Full of Lights Awaiting To Fight Zombies For The Hit Video Game CALL OF DUTY: BLACK OPS by Activision This is The suit I Wore To produce My Character in CALL OF DUTY: BLACK OPS!

so wait he looks like he is of lation heritage (i dont know much about this guy)so maybe a cuban, american,russian, and vietnamese?

I think one of these people will be a son or relative of some sort to one of the British Commandos. Remember, I THINK.66.18.205.222 23:02, April 11, 2011 (UTC)

What if these are the people just voiceing (voicing? idk) the characters? Jprince1015 01:53, April 12, 2011 (UTC)

So this'll be the first playable female character, then, right? Then they'd have to add new sound effects for diving to prone and everything.


 * Not the first playable female character, just the first in Black Ops

There is going to be new characters, this is confirmed on the official Call of Duty: Black Ops Facebook page Absorr Total Gamer Talk 19:11, April 12, 2011 (UTC)

I really see a new character in the place of Takeo, and i think they should really stick to fictional characters and keep real people for the historic maps like five. And (not trying to be sexist) I don't thinlk they will add a female character, as more players are male, not as many are going to say "I hope I get the female character". - Smilular 20:10 April 13, 2011 (GMT)

I reckon they will be from different countries from the previous charicters, like england, france ect. TheDamedUnited

Interesting, hopefully they are well connected to the Zombies storyline and not just random bullcrap like "Five". Kratos2144 03:07, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

Comfirmed
Black Ops facebook page said its coming out march 3rd for 360. i mean may 3rd

Back to Der Reise?
The bloody hand as far as I'm concerned could just be for show although the wall looks very similar to some of the walls in Der Reise. Perhaps this new map will be on the other people of Der Reise finishing lose ties on Dr.Maximus, sophiea, Peter, and ricthofen. --Squirvel 00:07, April 12, 2011 (UTC)

But Peter's real name isn't "Peter".Jprince1015 01:55, April 12, 2011 (UTC)

Mabye this would be a sequil to Der Riese, like an alternate reality or something like that :D DrkDragonz66  Talk  02:21, April 12, 2011 (UTC)

Actualy it would have to be before shi no Numa for Peter dies there --Squirvel 02:59, April 12, 2011 (UTC)

Peter MAY have died there, you mean. And Kino der Toten is the sequel to Der Riese, it takes place seconds after it (with the exception of time travel). --Gruntijackal, the impending demise draws near 14:47, April 12, 2011 (UTC)

Accually Pete DID die at Shi No Numa. CoaZ Talk  00:07, April 14, 2011 (UTC)

theres a bloody hand on ascension too i think, i swear i saw it yesterday Savagepork 15:18, April 14, 2011 (UTC)

There is also a grim reaper bloodstain. Yesterday i was playing WaW campaign. On the mission nightfire right after you jump down from the building that's on fire there is also a grim reaper bloodstain. Der Riese is based off of this map. Then on BO I played the mission where you have to find the canister of Nova Gas. I also noticed a frim reaper bloodstain at the front part of the ship where you come out from the inside. It may sound crazy but i think this will be a zombies map in a future DLC. Jprince1015 00:30, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

That could be because of the tie in with Nikita Dragovich's cousin.I have suggested such a theme on the CallofDuty forums where you play as American and Russian soldiers that invaded Der Riese. Kratos2144 03:10, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

Storyline?
Does anyone think this will continue with the zombies storyline but at a different perspective'? I sure hope so because zombie is my favourite part of Black Ops and it's story is really interesting. Does anyone else think this? BeatOli 15:04, April 12, 2011 (UTC)

Its proberly rumours but I heard that it takes place in a blitzed london Has anybody heard anymore?
 * It's rumors like that which are the reason why this page is locked. 17:29, April 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think that a whole new level could mean anything like maybe you as different people can interact with the other 4 guys(the originals) and like say its on the moon, you just have to fend them of long enough for the original guys to land on the moon. That would be pretty sweet right?! TheDamedUnited

Map reveal on main menu?
On the BO main menu, select Zombies and then use the right stick to look at the TVs on the right. Eventually, one of the TVs will show a video feed with zombies walking around in what seems to look a bit like the corridors of the opening room of 'Five'. However, the Quick Revive machine, visible in the center of the feed, is propped against the wall, not at the end of the corridor like it is in Five. There isn't a single map (WaW included) where the Quick Revive machine is in a position like this. Maybe a little hint dropped by Treyarch? Or just a slip-up? I'll upload a screenshot later. Aays 15:36, April 12, 2011 (UTC)

That's been there since the game was created, so I don't think that's Call of the Dead.  Poketape Talk 04:57, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

Location
Of course the location of the map is anyone's guess, so here's mine. Based on talk in other forums, and my own wishes, and this line from thexbox blog :

"moves the Zombie experience to a whole new level"

it's going to be on a freaking moon base.

nahh to much like ascension

I wouldn't call it too much like Ascension, I also had a theory of the next map being in space (maybe a moon base or space station or something). This probably won't be Call of the Dead, it'll probably be the next map to feature the regular characters, but I think they'll take a rocket from Ascension and go to wherever the space monkeys are coming from. Either that, or they'll go to where the black hole takes the zombies because that's where Samantha is. Personally, I think this map will be either unrelated to the story or might take place in England, because I've heard rumors like that, and if you remember back in Der Reise there were signs by the teleporters indicating they were intended to be linked to America, France, and Germany (the Germany one being linked to Kino Der Toten).

A whole new level... maybe you can interact with the zombies in some way? i.e. some 'berserk' mode that is filled by killing zombies and when used helps the player one way or the other? Just a suggestion. Also, sign your posts. Aays 12:19, April 13, 2011 (UTC)

And america like Five germany is ascention so it might be in france

I think it would be like some of the guys are faster bthan othersthe charicters), do more damage for melee, can run for longer or perks have a better effect on them. I think it would make it well realistic. TheDamedIUnited.

Now, what I'm thinking is that it will be at Area 51. I heard a looong time ago that there was going to be an Area 51 map on WaW. Now since that didn't happen maybe Treyarch decided to bring it in now. joman394

I agree it may be on the moon because on ascension when you look at the moon you can see red dots flying around just my guess but it may be the equivalents of the lunar landers they transport the players. So this new map may take place the same time as ascension and the dots are the other players who you get to play as 17:36, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

Characters Dead!?
If Richtofen's dead, sign me up!

They're most likely not dead, Treyarch is probably just continuing the storyline from another four points of views (aka the new characters). There could be a chance that the four original characters are dead (but who would want them to die?), but it hasn't been confirmed yet... and sign your posts. Don't mind me. I'm just a helper.

They most likely are not dead and they just moved to a new group of survivors. Kratos2144 03:13, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

Aufruf der Untoten?
Shouldn't it be called that? Based on Nacht der Untoten, Kino der Toten, etc., I think it should be in German like the others. Thoughts? There really IS a cow! ~ thereisacow1337

I doubt it. CoaZ Talk  00:37, April 14, 2011 (UTC)

sounds like sense to me. TheDamedUnited.

Actually if you would translate this 1:1, it would be Ruf der Toten. Trust me, im german. Captain943 16:23, April 14, 2011 (UTC)

 * Seriously, all you get to do is melee... i bet ONLYUSEmeBLADE would love it though :D
 * well you could be hellhounds/monkeys/new pentagon thief (only one, highest scoring zombie member)
 * Alister Azimuth 1 06:43, April 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think it would be pretty cool to play as a hellound or monkey who agrees Posted by Alister Azimuth 1
 * I think it would be kind of cool as when you die as a human you become a zombie and get to attack your team mates and keep spawning till the end of the round. TheDamedUnited.
 * That will be fun but not if your trying to survie long lol that will be fun killing my team i would die on purpose than

What do they mean by epic experience?
Anyone else feeling that this could mean vehicles?Savagepork 16:38, April 14, 2011 (UTC)

By Epic Experience i think they mean they will add something entirely new to Nazi Zombies when it comes to this map, although it may be vehicles i doubt it will be that although i could be wrong, looking forward to it though!!!! Brent Ernst 19:28, April 14, 2011 (UTC)

GHOSTS!?

Most likely just new weapons, enemies, and transportation. Kratos2144 03:14, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

What Would You Guys Like To See?
I Would like to know what you guys would like to see in Call Of The Dead? I Myself would like to see The Return Of The Wunderwaffle and possibly an attachment machine in which for 3000 you can get a random attachment attached to your gun (nothing stupid like grenade launcher on pistol and no attachments on Wonder Weapons/Launchers).so what would you guys want???? Brent Ernst 19:35 April 14

vehicles, hellhounds, or something that tries to kill you, not stealin anything (basically just not monkeys or theifs), a system for pro perks (ie buy at a much larger price, perk pack a punch), Savagepork 02:24, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

Dempsey, Nikolai, Takeo and Richtofen. They're just awesome. ToShootToKill 17:03, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

There running Nazi Zombies intio the ground 18:28, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

Samantha hunters?
I've been looking over the previous zombie maps talk pages when i stumbled accross the core element storyline of zombies...Samantha. I remembered that if you listen hard enough in ascension after doing the mystery man glitch you can hear a girl saying "come get me" after you free him. Maybe these people have been contacted by the charaters and there folowing har. Just a guess. TheDamedUnited

P.S- Group 935?

new zombies?
could it be viet cong zombies? shi no numa had japanese so why not?

It doesn't really tie into the story. Kratos2144 03:15, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

Well neither did Nacht der Untoten, Verruckt or Shi No Numa (to an extent). --Gruntijackal, the impending demise draws near 18:34, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

They all tie into the the story smart one. CoaZ Talk   23:08, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

Different version of Pack-a-Punch
Maybe one of the new things in CotD is a machine to Pack-A-Punch grenades. Like press the Lethal Grenade button or the Secondary Grenade button (depending on which you would like to Pack-A-Punch) and it transforms the grenade. It would probably cost 4000-6500 points because grenades are powerful. Frag-A-Grenade.


 * Frag Grenade ---> Semtex, cannot be thrown back by anything.
 * Molotov (possible return as it is seen in BO campaign) ---> Fire Bomb. Acts as a mini nuke, killing every zombie in the room.
 * Monkey Bombs ---> Monkey Cluster: Several smaller monkey bombs split from the bomb and attract zombies to it.
 * Concussion Grenade ---> Concussion Bomb, stuns zombies and slows their movement permanetly after 5 seconds.
 * Flashbang ---> Nova Gas: Blinds and stuns zombies and release Nova 6. At around round 20, it will fatally wound zombies.
 * Gersch Device ---> Gersch Annhilator: The device rises into the air, instantly sucking in all zombies on the map. Has a cooldown of one minute, and can only carry two at a time.
 * Matryoshaka Dolls ---> MT-ED (Matryoshaka Triggered Explosive Device): Double the amount of dolls, can now roll before detonation. Zombies are attracted to them.
 * Tomohawk (perhaps it will be included) ---> Boomerang: A deadly boomerang with blades on the edges and ignites any zombies hit. If the boomerange does not hit a wall or zombie, it will return to the user. Boomerangs can be picked up.

Element 115
well, lets think of the main thing that creates the zombies, eh? element 115. im guessing anything that it will be in russia (the tunguska or however you say it, where the meteor exploded. zombies reference this as 115.), or area 51. these are the ONLY places ever referenced in zombies that contain the element. the moon? sure, but where would people be buried on the moon, eh? sure, maybe vietnam, but what place in vietnam would be of such importance as to contain element 115? most places are in germany. one in japan, one in america, one in russia. more than likely it will be a place thats important in history, has some importance to the country, or is famed for something sstrange happening there, or will have some reference to the campaigne. "five" was the pentagon, der riese was based on a real factory where they were experimening with the Die Glocke during WWII, kino der toten was the place where Maxis (had he not "died) was supposed to unveil his creations to the nazi party, and Ascension was a soviet cosmodrome where they were shooting monkeys into space to retrieve 115. im not a member of this wikia, but my network name is Kymast3
