Talk:Der Riese

the guy in the pic
i think he is dempsey so he might be back but not sure about other characters--Wtfwikier 21:32, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Dempsey doesn't wear a helmet, and I'm pretty sure the guy on the Shi No Numa art page wasn't Dempsey either... meaning the guy on the Der Riese page is just a random Marine created by the artist, but will not actually be in the level. BulletBait 133 23:07, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

In the back story of Shi No Numa the radio states something about "The Giant must be contained", I'm guessing this is the Giant, as that is what Der Riese means. //--TehK 22:08, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Just realized that is stated on the page, hehe. //--TehK 22:09, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Bowie Knife
I'm pretty sure when Treyarch mentioned the Bowie Knife in the achievement descriptions, they meant the standard knife everyone uses. The Bowie is just a standard knife, it has nothing special about it, and if it is different than the knife used by everyone, there'd be no difference in how people use it, so why did someone say it was a new weapon? I'm pretty sure someone listed the Bowie Knife along with the Monkey Bomb under the new weapons. BulletBait 133 23:05, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

The Bowie Knife is the knife everyone uses. Thanks for bringing that up, BulletBait. IT IS NOT A NEW WEAPON!

Actually if anyone saw the new gameplay video its a huge knife thats a one hit kill weapon but it costs 3000 points

Holy, crap, did everyone see the size of that thing in the video? It's bigger than a friggin carpenter's saw... WouldYouKindly 21:29, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, since it is a new weapon then we should give it a page, should we not? Bowie Knife. --DrRichtofen 12:29, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Define upgrade.
I don't really get the Pack a punch machines. Does upgrade mean like give it more damage? Or giving it like a scope, flash hider, etc.

I doubt it would be something like a flash suppressor, because the zombies don't need a map to tell them where everyone is, and the suppressors would make your weapons worse with the reduced range. Scopes would also be a liability because although they might be fine for picking off zombies as they come to the wood planks, once they're inside you can't aim down the sight effectively. The rifle grenade has already been put into Nazi Zombies and it wasn't that big of a boost to the Garand and it wasn't very effective overall so I doubt that could be part of the upgrade either. Maybe aperture sights but those would barely affect anything... I'm guessing maybe Stopping Power or Fireworks or something else Treyarch has yet to release to the masses. BulletBait 133 06:13, 25 July 2009 (UTC)


 * How cool would it be if the zombies didn't always automatically know where you are at all times? Like you could actually hide from them. 75.45.162.248 20:18, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

It does not upgrade your weapons it gives you a better version of a normal one.


 * Umm, that's what upgrade means, buddy WouldYouKindly 21:32, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Looks to be a Power and gib ability increase --CptJackHouse 08:33, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Imperial Zombies (possibly)
I have to say, the zombie in the front on the left looks like he is Japanese, because of the helmet he wears. It does not look like the Stahlhelm the Nazis wore. It could make sense, as the Nazis could have produced zombies for the Japanese, as they were allies during WW2.

It's possible, but I'm afraid it's unlikely. If anything, the helmets the zombies are wearing look like those used by the Red Army, but that would be if the Nazis were out of the question. The helmets used by the Japanese didn't have any bent points like that on the Stahlhelm, and most of the helmets seen in the wallpaper have those bends and curves seen on the Stahlhelm. I think we should wait on a vid from Treyarch or any other official info from them before we jump to extreme conclusions though. It should come within the next week or so, depending on when in August the map pack comes out. BulletBait 133 22:58, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Maybe its possible Nazis and Japs are working together...

I don't think the Bowie looks like that in real life but okay haha. It appears that it's Nazi Zombies again, sadly, but the four characters from last time have obviously returned. Also, with the teleporters, Der Riese is going to make Shi No Numa look like the size of Dome or something, because it looks huge. BulletBait 133 00:13, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

That's what I mean. The Imperial Zombies must have been created at the same place as the Nazi Zombies. Don't worry, I wont post this onto the article until we have know it is definite.

So are you suggesting that we might see a mix between the Imperial Zombies and Nazi Zombies in Der Riese? LOL, that would be interesting, and if it's the last zombie map then I wouldn't be surprised if Treyarch is going for a big bang last installment and featuring everything in the last map. Maybe we'll see zombified Yanks and Reds too, because something happened to all those POWs that never came back... Man I can't wait for a vid of this map haha. I wonder if it will be another music vid? BulletBait 133 21:20, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

they aren't seen in the trailer or gameplay vid so its probably not happening --CptJackHouse 08:33, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Photo
Can someone tell me why the art photo for Der Riese is shown on the article for War Pig? Kevinsux909 07:42, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

yeh, I've noticed that too, it's on a few more articles too E.TALE 13:10, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

To be honest, I think it's just someone wanting everyone to know about the new zombie map.

Ok, I see your point but I think that's vandalism since the picture has nothing to do with the articles. The news has been out for a few days now and we even have it on our "did you know" section. E.TALE 17:58, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Some fool put the picture ON THE LEVEL INFOBOX TEMPLATE. This meant that every level that used the template has the picture on it. I think it has been fixed. The person who did it ws swiftly blocked for one day.

 * Parts of Nightfire are taken.
 * Bowie Knife is not the regular knife.
 * Whole lot more
 * Shi No Numa team returns.

The Shi No Numa team.
I don't think it makes sense to put them back in. You clearly all die in the end, and how could they make it al the way from the Pacific to Poland with a zombie apocalypse going on? It could make sense if there was like an alternate ending if they got rescued.

But, it only makes sense in a video game to die, but in the actual story, they miraculously survive and get transfered to Poland.


 * The gameplay video has all the other characters. It doesn't make much sense, but maybe they found a teleporter in Shi No Numa.

Hey, most people on this wiki agree that things in Nazi (or Imperial) zombies make no sense. So this goes along with the nonsense of zombies.

What happens when WE play has nothing to do with what happens in the story --CptJackHouse 08:33, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

This is nightfire
Look at the gameplay released trailer, you can see that this is obviously a remake of mp_nachtfeure. Should we add the information :)?

(86.82.8.96 10:00, 28 July 2009 (UTC))


 * A remake? lmao. All it is is just taking elements of the Nightfire map. All Zombies maps have elements of mp maps

id say its BARELY taking elements from nightfire... not even close to a remake --CptJackHouse 08:33, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Actually I saw a lot of parts from Nightfire, like that long building to the east of the map and the building in the middle. Sure it might not have as many similarities as previous maps like Verruckt and the original, but it still has a lot from Nightfire.CirChris -Here to help! 16:56, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Night fire
it definitly has parts from nightfire

barely... --CptJackHouse 08:33, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

someone's in denial...of course the 'factory' parts aren't from nightfire, but looking from the outside, that is Nightfire 173.20.88.190 04:58, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

In Denial? name 1 similarity besides the fact that its night and that there are german buildings in the area -_- --CptJackHouse 05:33, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, they both take place during or shortly after World War II. That may not count, but you asked. :P

06:25, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

heh true but not exactly what i was looking for --CptJackHouse 06:28, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

All Scored Out
Why did someone score al of the stuff out? --DrRichtofen 09:36, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Dunno, i fixed it though WouldYouKindly 12:27, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Clock?
Any1 else notice that stopwatch at the top left screen in the gameplay vid at about 1:15? any1 have theories on it?CirChris -Here to help! 14:30, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, it's in the new trailer (see below) as well. Remember the description on the website, something along the lines of "you'd better hope the wunderwaffle appears before it is too late". I think after a certain time something big will happen and will kill you unless you have the wunderwaffle. --DrRichtofen 00:21, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

It's probably the monkey bomb timer.

Just saw the trailer with the monkey bomb, so probably it. If it needs a timer that long, the bombs probably gonna be pwnageCirChris -Here to help! 03:04, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

It might be the new timer for Insta-Kill/Double Points. If so thay would be an improvement because you could see the exact amount of pwnage you have left Urth40 10:57, 31 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I doubt it. There are parts in the trailer where they pick up a power up, and the timer is the same as Shi No Numa and VerrucktCirChris -Here to help! 16:58, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Shi No Numa characters confirmed?
We've heard Dempsey refer to himself, but the Russian sounds nothing like Nickolai, Richtofen might be back, same character model, but he wasn't doing his standard screams for blood, so I couldn't tell, and there was only about 1/2-1 seconds where you could see the Japanese character model, and we couldn't hear him. Unless they released that it was the same characters, then I think we should take it down.

SIGN YOUR POSTS!! PLEASE IT'S GETTING ANNOYING TRYING TO TELL EVERYONE THAT! Anyway, regarding the above, of course they are the same characters, why would they be different? They obviously escaped the swamps of Shi No Numa, and travelled to Der Riese, to put an end to the zombies.

They are, you can see them in the trailer below. --DrRichtofen 00:21, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

confrimed that all 4 are back... --CptJackHouse 08:33, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

RIP Nikolai?

what happens in the trailers after the dialogue explaining what is going on normally doesnt have anything to do with the actually story... --CptJackHouse 08:33, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

New Update
There is a new update out (1.06 I think?) and it adds Der Riese to the list of maps. It also puts the Nazi Zombies mode onto the main menu, plus gives the characters' bios to read while waiting on other players to join. Should this be mentioned somewhere? --DrRichtofen 12:45, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Trivia
i think some of the stuff in trivia should be reorganised into a 'Features' Section (bowie knife, pack-a-punch etc) <font style="background:darkBlue">  Critchell   Talk 17:51, 30 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I'll get right on that. 00:49, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Nikolai Dies
Is it just me or does Nikolai die in the new Der Riese trailer? Urth40 21:40, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Yes he does although i highly doubt this is going to be what actually happens in the story, as it is just a trailer. It also shows Tank being flanked by zombies and being in area where explosions are occuring, he is not seen again in the trailer. Takeo and Richtofer are overwhelmed at the end, as well. --CptJackHouse 08:33, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Japanese Weapons?
Anyone know if the Japanese weapons will make a return in this one? The Type 100 was beastly in Shi No Numa and it would be a shame to remove them (well, I could stand for the Arisaka being removed, but I'd also love to see the Type 99 LMG in a Zombies game too). WouldYouKindly 02:32, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

id say the type 100 has a 99% chance of returning as it is seen in the trailer. as for the type 99 i dont see why they shouldnt IF this is the last Zombie map --CptJackHouse 08:33, 31 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I am guessing that the Type 99 will not be in it because it was not in Shi No Numa, and how would they find a Japanese weapon in Poland? Also, the T100 could be in it because Takeo took it from Shi No Numa to Der Riese. Since it is in Poland, I guess that every Russian and German weapon may be in it. 00:53, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Cost of it?
Ok, so the other games cost 800 microsoft points and £7.99 on the PSN, but on the interview with the guy for Der Riese, he said it was 800 microsoft points or £9.99 respectively. Will this be the cost or was he mixed up and it will be £7.99? Seems unfair if it is more. --DrRichtofen 20:11, 31 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Probably just a slip up although I wouldn't mind the Sony freaks to pay more-- 20:15, 31 July 2009 (UTC)


 * You fail. 800 MS points = $10 CAW4 20:28, 31 July 2009 (UTC)


 * we're talking pounds here <font style="background:darkBlue">  Critchell   Talk 01:01, 1 August 2009 (UTC)


 * It will most likely be $9.99 and £7.99. I am not 100%, but that sounds right. 173.20.88.190 05:02, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Sony freaks? =( . Well, to get to the point, 173.20.88.190 is right, that is what all of the other map packs have cost in the past.

Treyarch announced the date, August 9, and cost, 800 MS points and $9, on their CoD website. Also, Sony freaks? That's a little offensive... <font color= "Maroon"><font style="background:Khaki">CirChris  -<font color= "DarkOliveGreen">Here <font color= "DarkSlateBlue">to <font color= "Tomato">help! 17:37, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

features
The features said it may contain features from corrosion, but we already know it's nightfire

The Last Zombie Map
Is there any proof of that happening? Because there is no sign of it in the trailer, and the Imperial Zombies couldn't have just came from Poland, how would they get to the middle of the Pacific? Also, it would be good if the Type 99 came to Der Riese.
