Forum:Theories as to the direction of the Zombies storyline

Introduction
As of February 10th, 2011, the possibilities of where the hidden story of Nazi Zombies would go is endless. The plot of the campaigns of Call of Duty: World at War and Call of Duty: Black Ops and the plot of the Nazi Zombies portion of the game have begun to intertwine, with the secret messages and papers hidden in both parts of the game hinting to different areas of history and conspiracy theory that ultimately lead to many people trying to put all of the real pieces together to understand the real story. The critical thinkers of gaming have been able to translate number patterns to world locations and other such things, following the story to the point that to some it can be considered more than just a video game. Some would call the act of following all of the connections to understand the story extreme to the point of becoming an 'Alternate Reality Game', a game that uses the world as a base and requires the use of multiple media types outside of the game to coordinate. With each new map, Treyarch releases bits and pieces of the story in 'easter-eggs' hidden in the maps, each of which pointing in certain directions and some of which requires some research or prior knowledge to understand. The result of this research and piecing together of information are the theories specified in this article.
