Re: Why do shotguns...

They still count towards your stats but apparrently you can't get deranked playing those game modes. We played grief long before we knew this. Even in normal survival we take our downs as they come then aim to do better the next game, quitting when things get tough does not improve our game.

I agree, lobby leaderboards were the best indication of how well a person plays. You can also tell if a person glitches by looking at their leaderboards. If a player has 5000 headshots out of 5100 kills ten you know that player aint legit.

The majority of shotgunners I come across in public matches stay in the game until the end and don't have many downs. A lot of people have glitched their way to shotguns and I find these players are more likely to quit if they go down. Me and my friends always stay in the game unless all agree to restart, we aren't afraid of taking downs. I have 1900 downs and many of these are from playing grief cellblock, me or anyone of my shotgun friends will take one for the team if we get the chance to take down a tricky opponant. We even kill eachother in the traps if we're just playing for fun. It doesn't really matter what rank people are, players that care about their stats too much are going to quit if they go down too many times.

Re: Round 40+ motd. Long game

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 10 May 2013 15:20:06 GMT

This is true, 2 players can be on round 60+ in 8 hours. The only round 40 - 50 games I didn't mind taking that long was when I played black ops 1 maps. Back then it took around 8 hours to get to 50 using just a wall weapon to get over a million points.

As long as you have a good runner in the entrance to the cafe using the trap, you should pretty much be able to hold down the cafe until any round. If you have the hells redeemer you should find it very easy to hold a window at the higher rounds, the runner does most of the work. This is also quicker than having 4 seperate trains running in different areas.

The tally marks aint your rank, the skull is. Like theatriks said they are to show how much you play during the week.

Re: Mob Of The Dead High Level Strategy

donotreply@activision.com — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 14:47:17 GMT

The cafeteria acid trap strategy is my personal favourite once past level 40. Once we have the hell's redeemer and golden spork my team stab on the bridge until level 34, this is really quick, easy and you rack up loads of points while reserving your ammo.

Then we train on the bridge till our ammo (raygun and acid gat) is depleted then go back, grab the ammo from the cell block and hold the double room till we again run out of ammo. After that it is the cafeteria all the way with one guy (white) training them in the entrance setting off the trap while the other holds down windows using the hells redeemer. If a guy get in trouble the other can round the zombies up while he goes and grabs his perks back.

Last night I got disconnected on round 68 while playing with ItzMe ItzMe 07 and it did not count for me but did for him, I also had a disconnection on round 59 with him.

Going into afterlife in the showers to turn on Double Tap then somebody turns the damn washing machine on lol

Re: Where do you guys hold up best on MOTD?

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 01:09:43 GMT

I find the Bridge to be a very good area for killing zombies with the golden spork, I stay there untill 34 when it no longer kills in 1 hit.

With 2 or more players the area near Double Tap is a good place to hold till you hit the 40's. Zombies spawn from 2 windows as long as you don't open the door and when you start to run out of ammo and eventually get swarmed you can buy the door to escape.

After we get swarmed my team stays in the cafeteria, who ever is white trains the majority of zombies in the entrance and kills them with the trap, the others hold down the windows using the blue tomohawk.

Re: Fix leaderboards not saving when players leave in-game

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 05:12:34 GMT

I wish the leaderboards would still be able to register scores even when you get disconnected. I have just been disconnected on round 59 on MOTD 2 player. It did not save for me but at least it saved for my friend still, hes now 25 in the world im gutted lol I would be 26.

Re: post your highest round on die rise so far

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 02:09:23 GMT

Yes I cursed quite abit after that but then again I was relieved to be able to get some sleep. I would have paused it but I don't trust my internet connection.

Re: post your highest round on die rise so far

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 02:01:23 GMT

My highest so far is 64 solo by training in the upside down room with the hole. I started getting tired and made my first mistake of the game. I spawned as my ghost and ran away from the zombies and down the elevator shaft to the buddha room so that my quick revive could get me up. I didn't realise I went down near my trample steam, I moved backwards slightly and got launched off the building.

Re: Give em a mic and they think there hitler

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 00:03:26 GMT

No offence taken, you have a valid point. Everyone has their opinion and I respect yours.

What I am trying say is that in my experiance playing zombies, when I was playing Black Ops 1 it was much easier for me to find a game with good players that did not care about mics.

I am mainly a solo player but I also like to play co-op. I am still a teamplayer, I listen to what the other players say and I ajust to how the team plays.

Re: Give em a mic and they think there hitler

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 23:24:43 GMT

I agree it is unlikely that a team without mics would usually be able to complete the easter eggs. However I had a team of experianced zombie players and we all knew the steps before attempting it.

We kept a zombie at the end of each round and sent text messages to communicate.

Re: Give em a mic and they think there hitler

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 18:11:12 GMT

I also play without a mic (unless my real friends or family are online).

I get a lot of abuse online for it aswell, made worse by having Shotguns. To some people all Shotgunners are hackers, glitchers, especially the ones without a mic.

I can search for a game with randoms and it can take an hour to find a game some times, most people with mics ask politely for me to leave if they want a mic only game. Some people though will call you every word under the sun and tell you to **** off, I have been sent some pretty vile messages just for not having a mic.

I know where people are coming from when they want people with mic's, zombie players invest alot of time in the game and they want people they can trust to stay in the game and play as a team.

Since Black ops 2 I have had much more abuse than BO 1 because players can only see my rank and not the rounds I have been to.

Even though I play without a mic, I still manage high rounds and I completed the easter eggs with out one. I think if they brought lobby leaderboards back, people would feel better about playing with non mic players if they could see they have been to an high round.

Re: When Was The First Time You Got Into Zombies?

donotreply@activision.com — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 00:20:05 GMT

The first time I played zombies was when black ops 1 (my first fps game) first came out, I played 2 solo games not knowing what the hell I was doing. I didn't make it past round 3 in either game, I didn't know you could open the doors or even buy weapons off the wall.

After those games It was about 2 months before I played zombies again as I went on to play final fantasy 13 for a while, I was watching youtube videos and happened to come across a video where xcalizor was playing kino on like round 40 and I thought is was insane, I have been playing zombies since.

Re: Legit World Records

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 27 Feb 2013 22:57:06 GMT

Im not sure about the world records but if you watch players like Kingjaqoffsuit and DaThundergun on twitch tv they achieve round 100 + regularly and are always attempting to break the records.

Re: Leaderboards are ruined!!!!!!

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 27 Feb 2013 22:40:39 GMT

Some players (usually youtubers and streamers) are capable of getting to those rounds legitly but they play local so they don't lag out and so they can pause the game overnight and it takes days. It is very unlikely that anybody would be able to achieve those rounds online without lagging out so yes they have most likely glitched.

Re: Top 5 of the wall weapons of all time!

donotreply@activision.com — Wed, 27 Feb 2013 22:18:03 GMT

STG44

AN-94

PDW-57

M16

AK47u - This was my favourite weapon in BO1 when I played just to see how many points I could rack up. I don't usually use this weapon in BO2 but it is still a good weapon combined with the deadshot persistant perk.
