I have written a thread on the Xbox.com forums about this topic, please feel free to read it and post your replies there.

Here is what it says.....

**The main reason for this thread is that I want to know what you all think the future will hold for zombies. I also want to know what you would want to see in a full zombie game.**

So, with Treyarch on their way making their new game, I have come to think what will happen to zombies. I hope that Treyarch makes another war game and not JUST a zombie game as I would like to play something other than MW2 this Fall. However I hope in the following years a zombie game is workable.

Zombies was an incredible addition to the game that has kept many people playing WaW. With 4 maps to choose from it has been far from neglected. I hope Treyarch knows and understands what they have created here, something that will make them some serious money in the future.

To neglect zombies forever and to move on to other things is, in my opinion, a huge mistake. There is so much potential with the game mode and it's concept that it would be irresponsible to overlook it.

I look back on the video they did where they said "we shall return" in the cryptic Illuminati code that can be found scattered across a few of the zombie levels. This leads me to believe that perhaps they do in fact plan on resurrecting the zombie concept for further production.

Another thing that comes to mind is a radio found on Der Riese that is a letter from Dr. Maxis. If you replace words with Treyarch, etc, it sounds as though it is a message explaining the future of zombies.
Here is that letter, edited by me in bold. *please note that this is merely my own translation and it has not been approved or acknowledged by anyone at Treyarch*

"Sophia, this letter is to go to the Reichstag high command(Activision) immediately. Gentlemen, it is with the utmost urgency that I draw your attention to the lack of funding being injected into 'The Giant'(Zombies) project. Well, I believe we are close to realizing the ultimate plan. We still have several years of development before it is ready. It would be folly to cut our expenditures so early in our development. As you know, early tests on the DG-2(Map Packs) have easily outperformed expectations and we fully anticipate mass producing the Wunderwaffe(Zombies Game) within the next few years. Work on the matter transference has, however, come to a standstill. We simply do not have enough Element 115(Money) to continue the experiments. The test subjects have survived teleportation but are currently unresponsive to commands and cannot be controlled. If we are to overcome this obstacle, we need to increase the frequency and size of the experiment. To this end, I suggest we find not only a regular supply of 115(Money), but that we also find a larger conduit to channel the energy. Our operatives in America, have informed that the U.S have a large supply of the element at the Nevada base. So time is of the essence if we are to stay ahead of them. This cannot be done if you cut the budget, nor can it be done if you insist on pressuring us into action before we are ready. I am available for discussion on the matter, but on the meantime I will continue with the work here and try to win this damned war! Signed, etc... etc..., Dr. Maxis."

Granted this could be very wrong, but the way I read it, it sounds as though they plan on making a zombie game. I am not saying all of the letter is decipherable, perhaps I am overlooking something. However, I can dream can't I? Big Smile

I read something a moderator wrote on my forum and I completely agree with her. If there were to be a zombies game it should include 2 game modes.

1. The infinite levels with waves of zombies, like what we have seen so far.
2. A continuing campaign where you fight zombies along a storyline.

I have come to terms with the current state that Treyarch has left zombies in and I feel perhaps they have already divulged the storyline. However the dreamer in me hopes that there is more and that we will see additions to what we know already.

I, myself am incredibly devoted to zombies and all it stands for and what it has to offer the community. Which was the main motivating factor in my creation of callofdutyzombies.com. I have noticed that there is something special about zombies, a lot more than was being talked about. With almost 4,000 members and growing, it tells me that zombies is something that was stricken enjoyment into the lives of many. When you hear people talk about WaW, it always turns into talk about zombies, and how much everybody loves zombies.

I remember the first day I bought WaW, I beat the campaign on easy so I could play zombies Stick out tongue

So now after you have read my LONG post (sorry about that) please tell me what you think the future holds for zombies. As well as what you WANT the future for zombies to include.


Your Zombie Connoisseur,

Carbon

i love the little way you replaced the words, but i think it was just something you could of done with every radio Example: in the room with the type 100 the two friends had to kill themselves because of the invation. you could have said that it was the friends is tryarch and the invation is all the other games so they had to kill themselves so they don't get destroyed, or something like that.

or the main frame radio: the zombie creation was good but the zombie was unresponsive.translation: everyone like zombies but everything has to end.



(just wondering, why did you make the fourm in the xbox fourms)

I made it there because people still visit that site and don't know about codz. It is just another way of attracting more members. If you want I will include the text here as well.

Brillant. Sounds like a crack indused revolation, but absolutly brilliant... LOL!
All joking aside, as I would love to beleave this, it sounds a little far-fetched, doesn't it? Yes, I beleive that there will be another zombies mode in the next CoD, however to say Treyarch intended on sending us a hidden message it giving them WAY too much credit. I've done my homework on the zombies story, I know how they work,but treyarch isn't that crazy... ofcoarse... You are on our side right?
Run this by JD, see how he reacts look for blinking, head-cocking anything! Do it for us man!
(Um, please )

quality!! For test subjects i think we can read "zombie obsessed gamers" too

with the words replaced in the transmission, which was simply amazing, the future of zombies seems grim. could activision not see the funding potential? as with modern warfare? we all know they thought modern warfare would go nowhere, as explained in game informer. could they be doing the same with zombies?

A story line would go awesome along with zombies.Imagine you open the door and suddenly a giant zomb appears on your face(too stupid,I know).I just want to see where it all ended.

To carbon:I read the transmission with the replaced words that you did and it all ads up.

Personally I would buy this and play it until they came out with cod 9 i guess. I can't stand Infinity Ward, their game is so broken

I strongly disagree with your line of thought. Treyarch have given us an immersive story and plot yet people are not able to see it for what it is due to not putting the effort in.

Why would you think that it was nesacery for you to change the words to get the true meaning out of that radio. Listen to it again and get back to researching bud, there is much left yet to discover and understand.

The point of the radio in the tunnel is to back up the idea of time travel being the main device in understanding the timeline of events, story and plot.
Maxis talks of mass producing the DG-2 in the next few years. Chalkboard says production starts tomorrow. DG-2 is a smaller version of the BELL. Chalkboard says Heavy High K Dielectric, a tech used to miniturise components and not used untill recent decades. Ellemant 115, Nevada base, Area 51.
Its about TIME folks, the only way you will get more Nazi Zombies is to understand what you have and work with it.

http://codzombies.forum0.net/graveyard-f19/did-any-of-you-see-this-post-on-cod-t1404.htm

Question, did you guys ever truely try and understand what is written on the chalkboards beyond the info Shri posted?

Zombies seemed so innocent & more fun than the latest MW2. I don't know, but MW2 seems to get people so mad & angry with eachother.

I would pay good money for some kind of full Zombie game, but not like L4D. As good as L4D/2 is, it's just not Nazi Zombies & doesn't invoke the same passion.

Loving this site.

Well said Rubus, Nazi Zombies are the best and the thing you get really mad at, if you have a good team, are the zombies.

I see left for dead mentioned and IMO the problem with the L4D series, is the lack of a definitive story, if the game play was identical but they added a cut scene inbetween each campaign or safe house if they really wanted to make a story it would really add to the gameplay for me personally, instead its like a less complicated version of WaW's zombies story...not being told to you but there if you're looking

I just crave a definitive story, with all of the imformation they have put into these levels I can only imagine the type of story they could build

I agree highly that they need to have an "arcade mode" where its jsut like it is now more or less along with a campaign to go along with it

Don't post much but keep up the good work everyone
