“kino is dlc 4” is in reference to the fact kino der toten was planned to be the 4th dlc for world at war but it’s development was started to late so most of the assets were moved to the black ops 1 engine, hence the WAW guns in the map and the overall feel of the map seeming very world at war esque
There was one theory, waaaaay back, about being able to escape the Pentagon in Five. Someone in my school probably made it up, but I remember talking to friends about it, apparently if you made it to a certain round (probably 50 or 100, way out of our skill range) and knifed some panes of glass, you ended the game and got a secret cutscene where JFK gets his head ripped off by a zombie in the presidential limo
You aren't alone. I heard plenty of zombies rumors from this guy and that was one of them. Or I might misremember. Five has always been my least favorite do to it being so tight and I was always scared of going to the bottom so maybe my subconscious invented a theory to comfort me that I can eventually escape Five.
Upgrading apothicon servant on shadows used to actually be a thing, it was a glitch that would happen if you were switching weapons as you try to pack a punch and if timed right would put the apothicon servant in. Made people very curious as to why it had a packed form but was for the most part inaccessible.
@@blueXO I was pretty sure they didn’t intend on letting you do it but just had the PaP version in the files so people were only able to upgrade to it via a glitch. I would infer then that it was intended for reveal only in Revelations, and probably would’ve removed it bc they never intended on spoiling the reveal of the new wonder weapon
@@destinravellette1364 there are cut upgrade steps that are missing a few final touches but it leads to pack a punch and allows the person to upgrade the Servant. You had to shoot cocoons outside the map using the servant
and the giant is in France was a reference to the afdgx cipher in the motd intro screen, hinting towards dlc4 (origins), and was eventually solved during bo3's lifespan
and the SOE super Easter egg was referring to blundells 'im tired of people finding Easter eggs this is one you'll never get' video, along with all the hints of strange pods hanging around the SOE map with odd code and such.
The raygun mk 2 in bo1 is a reference that you can find when accessing the computer in the main menu. You can find a file talking about how they are working on a new raygun to avoid taking splash damage
For the "we are all part of the cycle" entry, the theory is that every single game of zombies played is canon, and those where everyone dies just result in the cycle starting over from the beginning
I been thinking about this since bo3, when we fail, the cycle repeats from the beginning of times, and when we succeed we only make a step Forward until our final destination
Small correction around 16:36 the reason Tranzit couldn't have a the features wasn't a hardware limitation but the game engine itself was the limitation at the time. That's why denizens, the fog, the speed of the bus, everything about the maps layout was picked. The engine would literally crash if you moved too fast and the denizens were there to stop you from being too hasty. Another correction 50:24 the super EE is real but it ain't super, it just gives you the RK5 in every map. Kino was originally a WaW map that they delayed because of MW2. You can tell from the contrasting design of every other BO1 original map being entirely different to Kino.
@@cookazor I forget the exact reasoning but since everyone was moving to MW2 one of the best selling games of the time, they figured it wouldnt sell enough if they just released it.
@@emerson-biggons7078 The Map Pack (DLC 4 for WAW) was supposed to include three Zombies maps, all of them teased in the last World at War map Der Riese. The map pack was ultimately cut due to the reallocation of resources at Treyarch to complete the Call of Duty: Black Ops campaign in time and the fact that it would have been released too close to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 The maps were used in Black Ops Zombies mode with the Theater map becoming Kino Der Toten, the Coast map becoming Call of the Dead and the Paris map becoming Moon.
21:55 The owner of that webpage was an infamous speedrunner, who "achieved" various world records in WaW Zombies; of course, almost all of them were fake. He made it to round 5000 and more in WaW maps, like Shi No Numa, Nacht der Untoten and Verruckt, being world records at that time. However, all of these were fake, making some modifications in his game. The only real record was the one in Shi No Numa, after that, he made an statement about the accusations and dissapeared from the internet.
It's amazing how far Cod zombies has come but sometimes I just miss the old days when it was just a nazi experiment gone wrong and not about inter-dimensional aliens.
same I liked it when it was waw to bo1 I think they should of came up with a new story for bo2 to bo4 but I guess they couldn't leave bo1 on a cliffhanger
PHD 27 is a reference to an easter egg we all thought you could do on Die Rise to get PHD. There's 27 dots on the wall above the broken elevator and the number 27 is on some other things around the map, like a fridge panel. I hope you notice this man because this is the legit reason
I believe the "motd in real life" entry was referring to the real escape that happened at Alcatraz where 3 men escaped the prison and supposedly left on a raft, their fate is unknown. Motd itself is based on this escape, even with easter eggs within the map such as the Golden Spork, as the inmates used a spoon to dig out of the prison.
This real life escape came to the back of my mind when making this but I thought it was just talking about Alcatraz in general, thanks for the correction :)
@@TheExceptionalGamer No problem, thanks for the great video, I was honestly so happy to see someone did an iceberg on Cod Zombies, and it's such a well made video too, keep up the great content man
31:40 actually each perma perk could be activated by doing something specific, with each having a unique way to gain und lose them, but none of them just disappeared over a few games.
Most people will watch this and think "this community is so bizzare." I watch this video and think "this community has really cultivated a unique culture in gaming." I absolutely love these games and the memories.
"The giant is in France." Is actually referring to a cipher that hinted at origins. The giant being the robots and France of course is where the map takes place.
For the BO2 perma-perks, there was actually a condition for "gaining the perk" and a condition for "losing the perk". For example, the quick revive perma perk was gained by reviving a certain amount of people in a game, and was lost if you cancelled the revive mid-revive (you will hear Samantha's laugh if you lose the perma-perk). There was also a perma-juggernaut (that was extremely hard to get and easy to lose) and a perma-perk that let you build barriers faster.
I remember there being a insta kill perma perk that I would call the red insta kill. Any zombies that would touch you when insta kill was activated would just instantly die.
I read that the idea of zombies sprung into a developer's head after watching people doing mocap for burning German soldiers in a WaW scene. Their movements reminded him/her of a zombie, and convinced others to create this mode in their free time. Could be wrong, but it sounds plausible.
You're half right. Playtesters commented that the burning Japanese soldiers in WAWs second mission looked like zombies. That attributed to making the mode. There's an article on "The Haxington Post" about the creation of Zombies shortly after WAWs release.
The reason why the game crashes on round 256 is because there is no round 256. Binary only has the numbers 0 through 255, so once you get to 256, it would say 0. Since there is no round 0, the game has a coding error and crashes
Binary only has a maximum of 255 if the binary number in question has a length of 8. A binary number can be as long as any other number. Treyarch probably just didn’t expect people to get to round 255 so they just gave the binary number a length of 8.
21:10 - I once did a series on my channel called “The Zombie Song Analysis” where I went through each song as they came out and pointed out how much foreshadowing there was! My favourite finding was 115 actually implied the characters would be going to the Moon and blowing up the earth, way before that map came outB
That doesn't really make sense though 115 is on Kino der Toten which was supposed to release with WaW, not only that but Moon wasn't the original map for the last dlc it was Paris so how could a WaW map depict a reference to pretty much an afterthought of a dlc map (Moon) in the next game? Just seems kinda far fetched or coincidental.
@@NecromanticThrone hey man. Uh......... go back... to WAW... and look at the Moon on Der Reise... Theres a DOT. A TEXTURE over the MOON. Gryphion Station was already backed into the Storyline by then... Or maybe that was just a Bo1 Addition.
The theory about Shadow Man being Mephistopheles is even MORE plausible when you consider that you can actually see a movie poster for Faust at Kino Der Toten
On 12:40 for "Kino is DLC 4" the actual theory is that Kino was meant to be DLC 4 for Cod Waw. Evidence for this is. 1. Cod Waw only had 3 dlcs and not 4 2. The zombie models are Nazis rather then the Bo1 zombie models like scientists, villagers, etc.... 3. Supposedly the Wunderwaffe was supposed to be the wonder weapon of Kino as there are sound clips of the crew's reaction to picking up the wonder weapon in Kino's files. And that wonder weapon was exclusive to the Waw maps (minus Call of the Dead).
Also kino takes place in a Nazi facility, like Nacht Der Untoten, Verrukt and Der Reise. Shi No Numa isn’t a Nazi facility, but either way they all take place in a facility that was used by an axis power
@@TheExceptionalGamer if this was me in this situation I would be up in my head trying to figure out the difference between boring and soothing 😂😂😂 but fr this was a really good video, you did a great job on the editing
"Misty Is Dempsey's Daughter" Well, let's look at the facts we actually have. - They're both identical in their personalities. - Both are American. - Dempsey states he has a daughter. - Both of them don't trust the leader - Samuel/Richtofen. - Misty has a quote in Tag Der Toten which says "That one's for you, Daddy! OO-RAH!" - Misty once mentioned she had a pet monkey, and Dempsey is known for being a secret animal-lover. Not that kinda lover. Either this is just incredibly coincidental. But everything seems too coincidental to be just... A coincidence.
I'm willing to accept the idea that Dempsey traveled to 2000's america and accidentally got a girl pregnant but how would Misty know or have any connection to him?
The blank painting in Kino originally was the Mexican member of the crew that died early on. It's revealed in a radio in Call of the Dead, why people seem to forget these radios, I have no idea.
For the one that says "owner of ZombieWorldRecords faked world records" its referring to when WingsofOblivion (owner) tried to pass off a round 218 kino And round 127 on shang as legit but were actually faked
Sithbas was the original owner and was accused of some really dodgy looking world record games. There was a record game on Shang where it appeared as though he was turning God mode on and off using some sort of button combination including R1 as he seemed to throw grenades at strange moments.
In BO2 Town survival, me and my cousin were in a rut, unable to get past round 15ish per play (Our average was usually round 25, with our all time record being round 32) so I decided we needed a luck symbol, and on the spawn in I noticed the MB was in the little corner surrounded by fences as opposed to the second floor of the bar, and went over there to grind points and get a gun, and I decided to knife the headlight(Right headlight) of the VW Bus like car carcass thats on the street near it. This evolved into a huge thing where we had the lucky headlight, an indifferent God watching our game for its own entertainment, only responding if we followed the strict rules. Rule #1: No matter what, the first thing you do is go knife the lucky headlight to announce your presence, Rule #2: The lucky headlight can be used for luck before buying from the MB only, and will not affect powerup drops, Rule #3: The lucky headlight can be knifed up to 3 times for added luck strength, but at the risk of angering the lucky headlight, any more than 3 knifes will spell your doom, Rule #4: If you anger the lucky headlight, repent, apologize and beg forgiveness, there is a small chance you will be spared, Rule #5: Use the lucky headlight sparingly, as too much use in one round will make the lucky headlight very angry, and this effect will seep in through the next few games All praise the lucky headlight!
Man back in the day when most people didnt really check the internet for guides, you just talked about your experiences with the game with friends. I remember my friend once telling me that there was a hidden Samantha boss fight in kino where once you reach round 100 a giant Samantha would come out of the big screen and attack you. Its silly thinking back on it but it really added to the charm of the game
27:43 I'm sure others have pointed this out already but 255 is the maximum value for one unsigned byte. So it's very likely they only allocated one byte for the number used to store the round the player is on. Once you go over that max value to 256 there's a buffer overflow. That buffer overflow can cause a couple things to happen. It could be overwriting CPU register values pushed onto the stack, thus when the current function returns control back to the previous one it could have been a pointer, been overwritten and point to an unreadable address in memory causing a segmentation fault or read/write access violation. It could also just be that when it rolls back over to 0 the game gets hit with an undefined situation and doesn't know how to proceed properly so it just poops itself.
@bumboyy I wouldn't either, but in the video he says it actually made your game crash. They might of patched it later but it sounds like what you saw was a bug fix.
I have been literally streaming zombies for a solid 8 years, I am still addicted to it, and replaying games like Black Ops 2 feels like new games again!
I think the “Bible predicts the story line” thing comes from the minor biblical references from earlier zombies maps. MrTLexify’s retrospectives he did for waw-kino from 2015-16 picked up on a lot of those.
Still find it interesting that the bo1 Der Reise did not have the tunnel glitch, but when zombies chronicles was released, the giant initially did have the tunnel glitch.
I'm late but your WRONG. If they were all 1:1 the Gun Rotation would be the same but that's too pedantic even for me. So I'll just say: No. On Vurruckt in WAW the American Side (the side with 3 barriers and the BAR+Bipod room) used to have the SpringField. But in Bo1 it's the M1 Garand. Also the Winters Howl. Several improved lighting effects. A Higher-Rez version of the EE Song. No. See. There all uniquely touched up and made "Better" in Bo1. Bo1 Der Reise is STILL the best version of Der Reise (aside from Declassified. The Fan Remake) because they kept all the GOAT guns (minus the PPSH41 ;(|) and fixxed the WunderWaffe. Theres DOZENS of small chances that make Bo1 Distinct from WAW. And then EVEN MORESO between Bo1 and BO3.
24:00 I think it was refering to the trailer of Origins where we saw the Primis crew for the first time and Takeo was wielding a katana. The community was speculating that the katana would be usable, even going as far as to saying that each of the characters would have their own melee weapon since we saw them all hold various weapons in the trailer/intro scene. Takeo with Katana, Nikolai with Axe, Dempsey with Bowie Knife and Richtofen with Bonesaw.
HP Lovecraft's work are public domain, meaning they literally *cant* be "stolen" so treyarch could straight up say that they're from the cthulu mythos and it wouldnt mean anything
I think that "custom maps are Canon" actually refers to an idea that they are separate multiverses with infinite possibilities and also the "cycle never completed" one might refer to the notion that all though we see revelations ending, the charters are sent back to the great war therefor its a circle and technically a cycle refers to an end but circles don't have one
"Shangri-La baby gun alternatives" refers to the concept art for Shangri-La which it pictured an early build of the baby gun where you could swap the talisman/gem the gun has to alter its effects, pretty dope if you ask me
ok let me explain, Peter McCain was an undercover agent. During World War 2, Peter was sent by Cornelius Pernell who was the Leader of Broken Arrow (the same organization as Russman, the American equivalent of Group 935.) to infiltrate the Rising Sun facility to get more on Element 115 but died when his parachute got stuck on a tree. On June 1st, 1964, Pernell along with Dr. Hale revive Peter using the Elemental Shard. Soon after, Peter starts working for Pernell again and starts to get suspicious of Pernell as his insanity for the APD grows. In 1968, Peter decided to contact the US Department of Defense since Hale and Pernell were conducting unauthorized experiments and once George Sawyer and his men arrived on March 15th, they shut down the facility causing Pernell to become the Avogadro. Peter gets trapped inside an A.D.A.M. Unit just before Pernell releases Nova 6 and the facility is abandoned. So his fate like Sawyer’s is unknown.
Hit box, go prone, knife it until the gun is finally chosen. I still do the routine every time out of muscle memory, with actually good results. It's probably just luck though.
The Venus cipher might be a reference to night of the living dead, in which the zombies are caused from space radiation brought through the atmosphere by a Venus space probe. No story implications, just an Nod to the creation to the originator of the modern zombie. The director, George Romero, of the movie was the boss of a zombies map in BO1 and had a tribute added after his death in BO3.
Small correction, the tribute to George Romero is in BO4, on Tag Der Toten, which of course is a remake of the BO1 map Call of the Dead. You already mentioned he was the boss on that map.
I believe it was retconned in Blood of the Dead that the warden aka Brutus controls the zombies in Mob/Blood because it was his own little personal pocket dimension as a gift from the Shadowman for being a good little cult follower
29:55 "bo&mw storylines connected" this one is actually true. Mw2019 is in the black ops universe because it has woods' son and perseus is mentioned along with victor zakhaev in a warzone intel. Also Imran zakhaev is in cw campaign. And the woods operator in mw multiplayer is actually woods' son and in bo1 there is an intel that says that captain price's father (also named John price) was supposed to kill Mason, Hudson, and weaver, but he didn't
Also the vodianoy ship from rebirth Island reached verdansk in warzone when it left rebirth island in 1984 but got in verdansk in 2021. People speculate that it took the dark aether to get to verdansk
All of this was only introduced after MW2019 and is a retcon. They didn't intend for any genuine lore connections when they made Black Ops and the connections between Cold War and MW2019 contradict Black Ops 2's story even existing, and given that Black Ops 2's setting is canon to Zombies it doesn't make sense in that story either. It's better to consider Cold War as a reboot alongside MW2019 as it carries nothing over outside of the events of the first game and a few references. Cold War's story also sucks so it's better to not associate it with anything that's actually half decent.
The katana was another of those "how to get a raygun" videos on youtube.also the video of "the katana" said it was in bo2 origins (Edit: the video was deleted but now jimbothys fake katana video is another runner up)
Kino being DLC 4, I think refers to it being the intended dlc 4 for WAW, but due to limited time and money it was pushed back and became a bonus map for BO1, which is why there are 2 launch maps, kino and five. (As kino uses the German naming system from WAW which isn't present for BO1 dlc maps)
“Katana in BO2” is referring to a rumour that you could get Takeo’s katana as a secondary melee upgrade in origins. I don’t remember much about it but I remember people in my school talking about it when the map dropped
For the “baby gun alternatives” they were referring to the scrapped concept art of alternative upgrades for the weapons like the bows in DE. Crazy to think about what could have been.
In 5:59, there was a glitch when black ops 3 was released when you were able to upgrade when you hold an upgradable gun and quickly swap to the apolitical servant in that quick time, it can be pack a punched but it did get patched. You can also use the gobble gum to temporarily upgrade a weapon and it will work for it.
"Bus rout B" was semi true, as it was cut content "Kino DLC 4" is also because Kino was meant to come out in WaW as the 4th DLC but pushed to BO1 "Bo1 remakes being direct ports" isnt at all referring to Zombie chronicles but instead, bo1's maps as maps like Nacht and the other maps from WaW were reintroduced in BO1, these were in fact, direct ports.
I loved the video, very interesting and some very funny stuff. A bit of a nice little nostalgia trip, too! Here are some things I'd like to comment on: Kino is DLC4: There is a theory that Kino Der Toten was originally going to be DLC4 for World at War but was held until Bo1 instead BO1 remakes are direct ports: I believe this is a theory that the WAW maps in DLC4 of BO1 were ported directly from WAW Custom maps are canon: Well, in an infinite multiverse, anything is technically possible... Something I would personally add to the iceberg is "Gobblegum machine moving like the mystery box"
The Gobblegum machine did move at the launch of BO3, they ended up patching that out alongside a bunch of other balancing things, like making it so the zombies didn't stop you from sprinting as well.
For the fan theory one at 47:20 I think it’s talking about how the whole story was based off a zombie making a sound that sounded like Sam in waw and people were thinking about who Sam was and the zombie staff made a story off of that
The problem is it was possible to upgrade in shadows for like the first month and people think they aren’t doing it right anymore and keep insisting it’s possible
Man, I remember my friend on the playground telling me he fought zombie hitler at round 50 on kino der toten when black ops had just released. Good Times.
I was watching this and listening to it and didn’t even think that it was some with less than 1k subscribers because it was such high quality. You deserve more subscribers.
My "Ray Gun every time" trick was to open the box when the question mark glowed the darkest shade of gold. It seemed the most reasonable to me since it just required some timing on the player's part. I still do it out of muscle memory.
the “bo1 remakes are direct ports” part i think is referring to the bo1 remakes of the WAW maps and how they might be direct ports of the WAW maps. they’re very similar
Lost interest tears ago in cod zombies (zombies in general went from dope to overdone) . Last one I played was blops4(one's with the gladiator arena maps?) I remember Syndicate days 2011 . Dope video though bro
I think “the giant is in France” was a “myth” from a unsolved cypher in a comic book page or loading screen with stuff about motd. Someone said they solved it and it said “the giant is in France”. No one believed it but then the cypher was solved later by recognizing that one had to be in German and it did say “the giant is in France”. I think it was talking about the giants in origins
@@TheExceptionalGamer no problem man :) although at 12:39 they didn't mean dlc 4 for BO1, Kino was supposed to be dlc 4 for W@W that's why Kino is the only map on BO1 that has actual nazi zombies.
Katana in bo2 is talking about the katana used in the Origins trailer, whenever it was released everyone was theorizing on how you could get the katana in the map.
The ray gun mk2 in bo1 was a tease in the terminal in black ops that you use to unlock dead ops, there is a file mentioning porter is working on a new raygun. the baby gun alterations refer to a cut idea of the green stone being different colors that could be obtained randomly from the box. It does change anything and is cosmetic Dr Salim is in the bo3 mode called nightmares which is the campaign with a new plot and zombies are in it
Idk but I remember hearing a roomer back in the day that the teddy bear was remade after one of the devs daughters stuffed animals because she died before the games release or something idk just figured I’d make it dark. “Thanks 10yo kid who told me that”
In regards to the mythical ancient egypt map, it might not have been ancient, but bo4’s Chaos story was building up to an egypt map. In the final map Ancient Evil in the outro cutscene Madusa says that she will “open the librabry”. The librabry in question (which was once real) is called the Librabry of Alexandria. Which was located in egypt.
bro... the nostalgia is insane. hearing "revive me I have raygun" on round 30 in kino der toten with my friends on a night after school and getting downed because I run out of ammo or something and then my friends being... very nice about my clutch in the end.
Really well put together video, man! For someone with only 7k subs I'd imagine you have a great journey ahead of you! Hopefully zombies and the O.G crews can return one day.
Thought so too. Like there's no way people actually think that they can just import the same model from an outdated engine and give it new textures to magically make it much higher quality. Those models had lower polycounts, different shaders and lower resolutioned textures so I'm pretty sure everything in BO3 Chronicles had to be remade from ground up to give it that polished feel.
32:08 I think this refers to how the wonder weapon was going to have different effects. There was some Shangri La concept art that showed the gun with many different stones that could be placed into the gun to give it a different effect. There were also many concept designs for the gun.
The baby gun in Shangri-La was the map’s new wonder weapon that shrunk zombies down to a baby’s height. Apparently there were alternative renditions of the weapon still left in the game’s code that could be secretly discovered by preforming some sort of cheat code or something along those lines. Also the MoTD happened in real life stuff could be referencing the real life escape of 3 Alcatraz inmates.
12:53 😆 I remember this drove people crazy. I'm 33 and more old school with gaming so I used to think playing online was lame and for nerds who don't have any friends. I was half wrong lol. BO2 forced me to make online friends and have a mic. I didn't understand why a mic was so important for strong players but I see why now. I remember having blue eyes skull emblem and didn't know why. Higher ranks had a skull with shotguns and spiked shield it looked bad ass. Especially then. He had no clue why he didn't have blue eyes and how his stats where far better than mine and he didn't have them. Eventually we found out you had to have a 5 day streak to get blue eyes and had to play at least one match a day in order to keep them. 🤷🤷🤷 🤦 This is one of many things we had to figure out over sharing info and tin foil theories and speculation. It's pretty crazy thinking about it now that we have so many tutorial videos for everything. Back then people still couldn't make videos on the ranking system only easter eggs and beginner guides.
What about the original Der Riese spawn cage that you’d throw a grenade in and if it exploded yellow your grenades were upgraded? 😂 or looking at the teddy bear paw print and holding X would upgrade Jugg and doing the note in the spawn grate would upgrade speed cola 😂
Stuff like this was great because you would never be 100% sure if it actually worked or not. “Maybe my grenades ARE upgraded now…they did more damage than the last match…right?”
10:23 my friend swore he saw it on round 25 back in 2011 i kept telling him its not real he still belives it is true a decade later i can finnaly end this debate
15:27 this is referring to how the Easter Egg was solved after about 2-3 weeks, the longest an Easter egg has ever taken to solve. Noahj456, Lex, ROFL, and Dalek had pretty much given up and it was painful, not because of how genuinely hard the EE was to find since everything was stupid random, but because the skull in the wall step literally just didn't spawn.

Someone in my school probably made it up, but I remember talking to friends about it, apparently if you made it to a certain round (probably 50 or 100, way out of our skill range) and knifed some panes of glass, you ended the game and got a secret cutscene where JFK gets his head ripped off by a zombie in the presidential limo

The engine would literally crash if you moved too fast and the denizens were there to stop you from being too hasty.
Another correction 50:24 the super EE is real but it ain't super, it just gives you the RK5 in every map.
Kino was originally a WaW map that they delayed because of MW2. You can tell from the contrasting design of every other BO1 original map being entirely different to Kino.
Why did they delay because of mw2?
@@cookazor I forget the exact reasoning but since everyone was moving to MW2 one of the best selling games of the time, they figured it wouldnt sell enough if they just released it.
@@emerson-biggons7078 The Map Pack (DLC 4 for WAW) was supposed to include three Zombies maps, all of them teased in the last World at War map Der Riese. The map pack was ultimately cut due to the reallocation of resources at Treyarch to complete the Call of Duty: Black Ops campaign in time and the fact that it would have been released too close to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
The maps were used in Black Ops Zombies mode with the Theater map becoming Kino Der Toten, the Coast map becoming Call of the Dead and the Paris map becoming Moon.
21:55 The owner of that webpage was an infamous speedrunner, who "achieved" various world records in WaW Zombies; of course, almost all of them were fake.
He made it to round 5000 and more in WaW maps, like Shi No Numa, Nacht der Untoten and Verruckt, being world records at that time. However, all of these were fake, making some modifications in his game.
The only real record was the one in Shi No Numa, after that, he made an statement about the accusations and dissapeared from the internet.

Motd itself is based on this escape, even with easter eggs within the map such as the Golden Spork, as the inmates used a spoon to dig out of the prison.

"The giant is in France." Is actually referring to a cipher that hinted at origins. The giant being the robots and France of course is where the map takes place.
For the BO2 perma-perks, there was actually a condition for "gaining the perk" and a condition for "losing the perk". For example, the quick revive perma perk was gained by reviving a certain amount of people in a game, and was lost if you cancelled the revive mid-revive (you will hear Samantha's laugh if you lose the perma-perk). There was also a perma-juggernaut (that was extremely hard to get and easy to lose) and a perma-perk that let you build barriers faster.
I had a permaperk that wont let me lose any perks when revived

Could be wrong, but it sounds plausible.
Yes man I that too

You're half right. Playtesters commented that the burning Japanese soldiers in WAWs second mission looked like zombies. That attributed to making the mode. There's an article on "The Haxington Post" about the creation of Zombies shortly after WAWs release.

The reason why the game crashes on round 256 is because there is no round 256. Binary only has the numbers 0 through 255, so once you get to 256, it would say 0. Since there is no round 0, the game has a coding error and crashes
Binary only has a maximum of 255 if the binary number in question has a length of 8. A binary number can be as long as any other number. Treyarch probably just didn’t expect people to get to round 255 so they just gave the binary number a length of 8.

21:10 - I once did a series on my channel called “The Zombie Song Analysis” where I went through each song as they came out and pointed out how much foreshadowing there was! My favourite finding was 115 actually implied the characters would be going to the Moon and blowing up the earth, way before that map came outB
That doesn't really make sense though
115 is on Kino der Toten which was supposed to release with WaW, not only that but Moon wasn't the original map for the last dlc it was Paris so how could a WaW map depict a reference to pretty much an afterthought of a dlc map (Moon) in the next game?
Just seems kinda far fetched or coincidental.

@@doctorofskillz2932 same
On 12:40 for "Kino is DLC 4" the actual theory is that Kino was meant to be DLC 4 for Cod Waw. Evidence for this is.
1. Cod Waw only had 3 dlcs and not 4
2. The zombie models are Nazis rather then the Bo1 zombie models like scientists, villagers, etc....
3. Supposedly the Wunderwaffe was supposed to be the wonder weapon of Kino as there are sound clips of the crew's reaction to picking up the wonder weapon in Kino's files. And that wonder weapon was exclusive to the Waw maps (minus Call of the Dead).
Also kino takes place in a Nazi facility, like Nacht Der Untoten, Verrukt and Der Reise. Shi No Numa isn’t a Nazi facility, but either way they all take place in a facility that was used by an axis power
Also it plays the 115 song on the game over screen for der reise and 115 is the song for kino, the next supposed dlc for WaW.
It’s not just a theory, it’s mentioned in some trivia on Jimmy Zielinski’s portfolio
So they replaced the Wunderwaffe with the Thundergun.
That was Treyarch's best mistake. Having to put Kino into Black Ops 1.

Katana in BO2 was referencing the origins reveal which showed takeo using a katana. People were convinced you could somehow unlock it on the map
"Misty Is Dempsey's Daughter"
Well, let's look at the facts we actually have.
- They're both identical in their personalities.
- Both are American.
- Dempsey states he has a daughter.
- Both of them don't trust the leader - Samuel/Richtofen.
- Misty has a quote in Tag Der Toten which says "That one's for you, Daddy! OO-RAH!"
- Misty once mentioned she had a pet monkey, and Dempsey is known for being a secret animal-lover. Not that kinda lover.
Either this is just incredibly coincidental. But everything seems too coincidental to be just... A coincidence.
I'm willing to accept the idea that Dempsey traveled to 2000's america and accidentally got a girl pregnant but how would Misty know or have any connection to him?
Another quote in tag der toten when she talks to marlton she states that her dad was in the marines
Then who's the mother? Richtofen?
The blank painting in Kino originally was the Mexican member of the crew that died early on. It's revealed in a radio in Call of the Dead, why people seem to forget these radios, I have no idea.
For the one that says "owner of ZombieWorldRecords faked world records" its referring to when WingsofOblivion (owner) tried to pass off a round 218 kino And round 127 on shang as legit but were actually faked
if I remember correctly, the owner before wings (named Sithbas) actually modded games as well.
Sithbas was the original owner and was accused of some really dodgy looking world record games. There was a record game on Shang where it appeared as though he was turning God mode on and off using some sort of button combination including R1 as he seemed to throw grenades at strange moments.

In BO2 Town survival, me and my cousin were in a rut, unable to get past round 15ish per play (Our average was usually round 25, with our all time record being round 32) so I decided we needed a luck symbol, and on the spawn in I noticed the MB was in the little corner surrounded by fences as opposed to the second floor of the bar, and went over there to grind points and get a gun, and I decided to knife the headlight(Right headlight) of the VW Bus like car carcass thats on the street near it. This evolved into a huge thing where we had the lucky headlight, an indifferent God watching our game for its own entertainment, only responding if we followed the strict rules. Rule #1: No matter what, the first thing you do is go knife the lucky headlight to announce your presence, Rule #2: The lucky headlight can be used for luck before buying from the MB only, and will not affect powerup drops, Rule #3: The lucky headlight can be knifed up to 3 times for added luck strength, but at the risk of angering the lucky headlight, any more than 3 knifes will spell your doom, Rule #4: If you anger the lucky headlight, repent, apologize and beg forgiveness, there is a small chance you will be spared, Rule #5: Use the lucky headlight sparingly, as too much use in one round will make the lucky headlight very angry, and this effect will seep in through the next few games

Man back in the day when most people didnt really check the internet for guides, you just talked about your experiences with the game with friends. I remember my friend once telling me that there was a hidden Samantha boss fight in kino where once you reach round 100 a giant Samantha would come out of the big screen and attack you.
Its silly thinking back on it but it really added to the charm of the game
27:43 I'm sure others have pointed this out already but 255 is the maximum value for one unsigned byte. So it's very likely they only allocated one byte for the number used to store the round the player is on. Once you go over that max value to 256 there's a buffer overflow. That buffer overflow can cause a couple things to happen. It could be overwriting CPU register values pushed onto the stack, thus when the current function returns control back to the previous one it could have been a pointer, been overwritten and point to an unreadable address in memory causing a segmentation fault or read/write access violation.
It could also just be that when it rolls back over to 0 the game gets hit with an undefined situation and doesn't know how to proceed properly so it just poops itself.
@bumboyy I wouldn't either, but in the video he says it actually made your game crash. They might of patched it later but it sounds like what you saw was a bug fix.

I have been literally streaming zombies for a solid 8 years, I am still addicted to it, and replaying games like Black Ops 2 feels like new games again!
I think the “Bible predicts the story line” thing comes from the minor biblical references from earlier zombies maps. MrTLexify’s retrospectives he did for waw-kino from 2015-16 picked up on a lot of those.
13:46 this is referring to the Waw zombie map pack in Bo1. The map pack includes all of the first 4 maps ported directly from Waw without any changes.
Exactly this
Still find it interesting that the bo1 Der Reise did not have the tunnel glitch, but when zombies chronicles was released, the giant initially did have the tunnel glitch.
I'm late but your WRONG.
If they were all 1:1 the Gun Rotation would be the same but that's too pedantic even for me.
So I'll just say: No. On Vurruckt in WAW the American Side (the side with 3 barriers and the BAR+Bipod room) used to have the SpringField.
But in Bo1 it's the M1 Garand. Also the Winters Howl. Several improved lighting effects. A Higher-Rez version of the EE Song.
No. See. There all uniquely touched up and made "Better" in Bo1.
Bo1 Der Reise is STILL the best version of Der Reise (aside from Declassified. The Fan Remake) because they kept all the GOAT guns (minus the PPSH41 ;(|) and fixxed the WunderWaffe.
Theres DOZENS of small chances that make Bo1 Distinct from WAW. And then EVEN MORESO between Bo1 and BO3.
24:00 I think it was refering to the trailer of Origins where we saw the Primis crew for the first time and Takeo was wielding a katana. The community was speculating that the katana would be usable, even going as far as to saying that each of the characters would have their own melee weapon since we saw them all hold various weapons in the trailer/intro scene. Takeo with Katana, Nikolai with Axe, Dempsey with Bowie Knife and Richtofen with Bonesaw.

HP Lovecraft's work are public domain, meaning they literally *cant* be "stolen" so treyarch could straight up say that they're from the cthulu mythos and it wouldnt mean anything
I think that "custom maps are Canon" actually refers to an idea that they are separate multiverses with infinite possibilities and also the "cycle never completed" one might refer to the notion that all though we see revelations ending, the charters are sent back to the great war therefor its a circle and technically a cycle refers to an end but circles don't have one
"Shangri-La baby gun alternatives" refers to the concept art for Shangri-La which it pictured an early build of the baby gun where you could swap the talisman/gem the gun has to alter its effects, pretty dope if you ask me
no mention of Peter McCain?! he’s like the coolest secret character ever, and did he even survive or what like even I don’t know!
pretty sure he died. btw do you remember that bandana easter egg in bw1 terminal in menu room?
ok let me explain, Peter McCain was an undercover agent. During World War 2, Peter was sent by Cornelius Pernell who was the Leader of Broken Arrow (the same organization as Russman, the American equivalent of Group 935.) to infiltrate the Rising Sun facility to get more on Element 115 but died when his parachute got stuck on a tree. On June 1st, 1964, Pernell along with Dr. Hale revive Peter using the Elemental Shard. Soon after, Peter starts working for Pernell again and starts to get suspicious of Pernell as his insanity for the APD grows. In 1968, Peter decided to contact the US Department of Defense since Hale and Pernell were conducting unauthorized experiments and once George Sawyer and his men arrived on March 15th, they shut down the facility causing Pernell to become the Avogadro. Peter gets trapped inside an A.D.A.M. Unit just before Pernell releases Nova 6 and the facility is abandoned. So his fate like Sawyer’s is unknown.

29:55 "bo&mw storylines connected" this one is actually true. Mw2019 is in the black ops universe because it has woods' son and perseus is mentioned along with victor zakhaev in a warzone intel. Also Imran zakhaev is in cw campaign. And the woods operator in mw multiplayer is actually woods' son and in bo1 there is an intel that says that captain price's father (also named John price) was supposed to kill Mason, Hudson, and weaver, but he didn't
Also the vodianoy ship from rebirth Island reached verdansk in warzone when it left rebirth island in 1984 but got in verdansk in 2021. People speculate that it took the dark aether to get to verdansk
Thats some deep lore holy shit
not actually woods son mw woods isnt canon
All of this was only introduced after MW2019 and is a retcon. They didn't intend for any genuine lore connections when they made Black Ops and the connections between Cold War and MW2019 contradict Black Ops 2's story even existing, and given that Black Ops 2's setting is canon to Zombies it doesn't make sense in that story either.
It's better to consider Cold War as a reboot alongside MW2019 as it carries nothing over outside of the events of the first game and a few references. Cold War's story also sucks so it's better to not associate it with anything that's actually half decent.

Kino being DLC 4, I think refers to it being the intended dlc 4 for WAW, but due to limited time and money it was pushed back and became a bonus map for BO1, which is why there are 2 launch maps, kino and five. (As kino uses the German naming system from WAW which isn't present for BO1 dlc maps)

“Katana in BO2” is referring to a rumour that you could get Takeo’s katana as a secondary melee upgrade in origins. I don’t remember much about it but I remember people in my school talking about it when the map dropped
For the “baby gun alternatives” they were referring to the scrapped concept art of alternative upgrades for the weapons like the bows in DE. Crazy to think about what could have been.
In 5:59, there was a glitch when black ops 3 was released when you were able to upgrade when you hold an upgradable gun and quickly swap to the apolitical servant in that quick time, it can be pack a punched but it did get patched. You can also use the gobble gum to temporarily upgrade a weapon and it will work for it.

"Kino DLC 4" is also because Kino was meant to come out in WaW as the 4th DLC but pushed to BO1
"Bo1 remakes being direct ports" isnt at all referring to Zombie chronicles but instead, bo1's maps as maps like Nacht and the other maps from WaW were reintroduced in BO1, these were in fact, direct ports.

BO1 remakes are direct ports: I believe this is a theory that the WAW maps in DLC4 of BO1 were ported directly from WAW
Custom maps are canon: Well, in an infinite multiverse, anything is technically possible...
Something I would personally add to the iceberg is "Gobblegum machine moving like the mystery box"
The Gobblegum machine did move at the launch of BO3, they ended up patching that out alongside a bunch of other balancing things, like making it so the zombies didn't stop you from sprinting as well.
For the fan theory one at 47:20 I think it’s talking about how the whole story was based off a zombie making a sound that sounded like Sam in waw and people were thinking about who Sam was and the zombie staff made a story off of that

Idk but I remember hearing a roomer back in the day that the teddy bear was remade after one of the devs daughters stuffed animals because she died before the games release or something idk just figured I’d make it dark. “Thanks 10yo kid who told me that”
the teddy bear model is from cod2
In regards to the mythical ancient egypt map, it might not have been ancient, but bo4’s Chaos story was building up to an egypt map. In the final map Ancient Evil in the outro cutscene Madusa says that she will “open the librabry”. The librabry in question (which was once real) is called the Librabry of Alexandria. Which was located in egypt.
I cant help thinking of the Librarby sign in undertale reading this

And what happened to it genius
bro... the nostalgia is insane.
hearing "revive me I have raygun" on round 30 in kino der toten with my friends on a night after school and getting downed because I run out of ammo or something and then my friends being... very nice about my clutch in the end.
Really well put together video, man! For someone with only 7k subs I'd imagine you have a great journey ahead of you!
Hopefully zombies and the O.G crews can return one day.
Maybe “BO1 remakes are direct ports” is talking about the WaW maps ported onto BO1?
Thought so too. Like there's no way people actually think that they can just import the same model from an outdated engine and give it new textures to magically make it much higher quality. Those models had lower polycounts, different shaders and lower resolutioned textures so I'm pretty sure everything in BO3 Chronicles had to be remade from ground up to give it that polished feel.
32:08 I think this refers to how the wonder weapon was going to have different effects. There was some Shangri La concept art that showed the gun with many different stones that could be placed into the gun to give it a different effect. There were also many concept designs for the gun.
Ahhh interesting, thanks for that mate
The baby gun in Shangri-La was the map’s new wonder weapon that shrunk zombies down to a baby’s height. Apparently there were alternative renditions of the weapon still left in the game’s code that could be secretly discovered by preforming some sort of cheat code or something along those lines.
Also the MoTD happened in real life stuff could be referencing the real life escape of 3 Alcatraz inmates.
also they never added the blow dart wonder weapon for that map either
12:53 😆 I remember this drove people crazy. I'm 33 and more old school with gaming so I used to think playing online was lame and for nerds who don't have any friends. I was half wrong lol. BO2 forced me to make online friends and have a mic. I didn't understand why a mic was so important for strong players but I see why now. I remember having blue eyes skull emblem and didn't know why. Higher ranks had a skull with shotguns and spiked shield it looked bad ass. Especially then. He had no clue why he didn't have blue eyes and how his stats where far better than mine and he didn't have them. Eventually we found out you had to have a 5 day streak to get blue eyes and had to play at least one match a day in order to keep them. 🤷🤷🤷 🤦 This is one of many things we had to figure out over sharing info and tin foil theories and speculation. It's pretty crazy thinking about it now that we have so many tutorial videos for everything. Back then people still couldn't make videos on the ranking system only easter eggs and beginner guides.
Looking back on all those theories and myths. I realize the black ops zombies community absolutely sucks.
Would honestly love a call of duty game that's just the zombies mode. Maybe a collection of all the different maps and iterations.
Surprised there was no mention of the door on Acension, I remember when that came out everyone I knew was on about it. Anyways good vid
Could you tell me about this? One of the few zombies rabbit holes i haven't heard of
Are we gonna talk about his round 8 ray gun in cold war?
What about the original Der Riese spawn cage that you’d throw a grenade in and if it exploded yellow your grenades were upgraded? 😂 or looking at the teddy bear paw print and holding X would upgrade Jugg and doing the note in the spawn grate would upgrade speed cola 😂
Stuff like this was great because you would never be 100% sure if it actually worked or not. “Maybe my grenades ARE upgraded now…they did more damage than the last match…right?”
@@TheExceptionalGamer exactly 😂 it was the best time even until this day 😂
10:23 my friend swore he saw it on round 25 back in 2011 i kept telling him its not real he still belives it is true a decade later i can finnaly end this debate
15:27 this is referring to how the Easter Egg was solved after about 2-3 weeks, the longest an Easter egg has ever taken to solve. Noahj456, Lex, ROFL, and Dalek had pretty much given up and it was painful, not because of how genuinely hard the EE was to find since everything was stupid random, but because the skull in the wall step literally just didn't spawn.
