FOR TREYARCH: New feature idea for the upcoming zombies.

Posted by xMisfitxx on Jul 10, 2012 2:13 PM

I just thought it would be pretty cool if a theatre mode was added to the zombie mode like it was used in BO1, MW3, and other games. Since you are going to use the multiplayer engine for zombies now, I don't see why it wouldn't work. I think lots of people would like to show off their zombie games or watch others and learn from them rather then having to go login to youtube. I would like to be able to save a couple of zombie games I've had in the past in my vault just because of how funny they were. Thanks for listening.

    Another idea, though it might be too late for you guys to start working on this for zombies, but I think it would it be a lot more fun if in zombies the easter eggs (missions) were more like the new strike force missions you guys are adding to the campaign. Since a lot of people get bored after doing the main easter egg, it might be a good idea to have multiple main easter eggs (missions) in each map that the players have to choose which one they want to go with, not being able to do all of them.. yet. And if your going to add music again to zombies, their should be more than 1 song easter egg, and it shouldn't all be the same type of music, some like rock, screamo, rap, funk, funny songs, etc. I'm sure this has been suggested before but just in case it hasn't I posted it here.

      And add some kind of special weapons or something after the players reach certain rounds like wave 40, 50, 60, etc. Because it gets really mindless after you get to about the late 30's waves. Running back and forth to the box or trading in the wonder weapon to get it back gets old really fast or having to get a train and run them into a insta-kill trap. But only have these special weapons or whatever become available after the players reach the round required such as 40, that way they can't get them early and make the game way too easy in the very beginning.

      They are also adding theatre mode to zombies. So get ready for the fun times. It also means i dont need to record 3hrs of gameplay.

        Oh that's great I knew about the wager type matches already, competitve zombies and all that didn't know they confirmed theatre. Yeah way better than recording 3 hours yourself then uploading.

          Though of another idea, new kinda of map. I think a Underwater map/base. (Like they did with the moon base/Gravity) would pretty fun and interesting. (It's new) Like lost city of Atlantis or something(or like a bioshock map), I don't know how they have tied together the upcoming maps and storyline but if they could get a water map in there I think it would be a good idea. As far as features go, they could probably add alot to the map with the water, maybe even swimming and fighting underwater zombies in one part of the map? They made it work with fighting zombies in 0 gravity, so I don't see why they couldn't make underwater combat. This could also lead to new types of zombies/zombie creatures being underwater.

            I also saw a post about Vehicles in zombie mode (i.e. Tanks, Helicopters, etc.) Now I wouldn't put them in the regular matches because if your in a helicopter it would be way too easy. But they could have a place to teleport to like No man's land on Moon map, where you don't actually advance in rounds, but you have infinte zombies to kill there. So it could be just like a fun zone to go and wreck some zombies in the new feature vehicles. It could just be something to go do after doing easter eggs, and running and zombie trains, so the game doesn't get boring.

                And since zombie mode is moving from a single player engine to a multiplayer enginge. They might as well throw in a rank system on zombies, like in multiplayer. They did it on MW3 Survival mode, so I'm sure they will for the new zombies. Maybe even a prestige mode.

          The underwater base would be a bad idea. The  water pressure would make your body explode.

            Nah, it would be pressurized just like in real how people go deep underwater, they actually already have real life underwater hotels. Only rich people really get into them, but it is totally possible to go underwater. I'm not saying the whole map is underwater, they could just have parts of where you can swim, and maybe like the excavtors on moons they could some sort of device you have to stop from breaking the walls and letting the water in certain rooms and de pressurize that room. Along with Pualy1990's idea of a wet suit and oxygen tanks. If they can get it to fit into whatever storyline they have it would be a cool map. and the body exploding sounds kinda cool too, you could either drown without the wet suit in the water or the amount of pressure would kill you. Like how you die in zero gravity on the moon.

              There are also lot's of underwater movies and articles that are creepy and Sci-fi. Could research all of it for lot's of ideas to make it an interesting map.

                They need to make something new to replace the Bowie, and sickle. I say they make a Katana or some other sort of blade. It could slice the zombies bodies in half, with their torso's sliding off and some of the zombies legs would keep walking for a few seconds. Maybe treyarch could make it to depending on where you slice the zombie that body part is chopped off, so you could have a zombie with no arms or make crawlers... etc. Could make a pack a punched version with it too like with ballistic knives maybe or you could get two katana's one for each hand when you pack a punch it.

                  Or instead of a katana, they could bring back the tomahawk, and you would be able to throw them like in the multiplayer. Only have a certain amount of them and you can pick them back up after you throw them, just like the ballistic knives.

                    Some other ideas:

                     

                    - The new special grenades you get from the mystery box like the Gersh, dolls, and QED's could be a special grenade that slows time, or even freezes time for the zombies but not for the player for a couple of seconds. After the set time expires all the zombies on the field currently would explode or the longer they are frozen for they become cracked and shatter when the time expires or any other better idea someone can think of.

                     

                    - Players always start with frag grenades but have the option to buy semtex grenades which pretty much do the same as frags except the cool feature that they stick to anything you throw them at. I just thought where are the molotov cocktails? They should be an option to buy off the wall for 250 like other grenades. I'd love to throw one in a zombie train and watch them all catch fire

                     

                    - Zombies should have some added realism to it's environment. Suchs as a full night to day cycle during the game. When it gets dark players would still be able to see but they could have equipment that they could use optionally to see better and see the zombies easier during the night. (Night Vision) Also. some added effects of inclement weather, which could be used along with the easter eggs as having to do certain steps during certain periods of weather. Such as fog, rain, snow, like in call of the dead. They could have massive storms come in and randomnly lightning would strike a zombie and shock them which would be pretty funny to see. Or when the lightning strikes that one zombie it could give him an extra effect if he touches one of the players it would shock and disorient the player for a sec or two. Possibly earthquakes, or a volcanoe that erupts at different times, ( I wish they had put a volcanoe in Shangri-la)

                     

                    - I also think they need to go ahead and combine two of the perks, being Speed Cola & Stamin-up. I always thought it was kind of dumb they had those two as separate perks when their effects are closely related. Or combine Speed Cola & Double Tap. But not all three combined.

                     

                    - Another idea for the zombie maps could be a Holiday type zombe map, for Christmas. It would be at the north pole (lol) The zombies could be zombie elves hahaha blood covered snow. And theres many ideas you could do with santa claus. Like the dog and monkey rounds, they could have zombie reindeer?  There's alot you could do with that kind of map, it wouldn't have to follow the storyline unless the devs wanted it too but it would be just a special bonus zombie map to play on.

                     

                    -They also need to add some sort of device players can use to reset their perks for free. Sometimes you might buy the wrong perk or you get a random one you don't want, this device would allow you to get rid of the unwated perks and get your points back for them for free. Rather this than a player having to down themselves and be revived to lose all their perks so they can go and buy the ones they want. The only map currently you can do something similar to this is on Moon when you hack the perk machines to get your points back.

                     

                    - I'm not sure what kind of new perks they should bring but I had the idea of having temporary perks that last a certain amount of time, or for a certain amount of rounds. Since it doesn't last long it wouldn't be as expensive as the other perks. You could have many varying effects for temp perks like increased weapon damage, etc. These would be useful in going along with whatever drops players get on the field. Or they could just add new drops, but the problem with that is if their are too many kind of drops it would be harder to get the desired drops like max ammo. So I think they should just make a new system like temporary perks to go along with everything else.

                      Idea for a new drop could be an infinite ammo drop. It will give all the players inifinite ammo for a short duration.

                        List of more ideas:


                        - New zombie map could be a desert one. Quicksand you have to watch out for, the quicksand could also be used as a trap for zombies sinking them into to their deaths. If you stand in it for too long it will kill you. Like the fog on COTD their could be sandstorms that limit visibility. Mummy zombies? Lot's of pyramids, Crypts, Sphinx, all that jazz. Swinging vines you have to use to swing over pitfalls similar to ziplines, zombies can use them also. Sort of like a map out of a Indiana Jones movie..


                        - An idea for the temporary perk machines I talked about earlier could be a perk machine that gives out random bonuses, it would be like the QED's it would have either a good effect or bad effect and would be relativley cheap to buy. Possibly put a time limit on how often you can purchase from this perk machine. Could call it the mystery machine.. lol no, but the symbol could be a huge question mark.


                        - New weapon idea I got is the mauler from the game Perfect Dark for the Nintendo 64. (Epic gun in those days of gaming) Basically this gun is a single shot laser weapon and it has another function where you can charge it up consuming 5 rounds but the shot is much more powerful, PAP'd the charged shot could be more powerful and have and added area of effect blast so it effects more than one zombie when charged and fired. and the single shot would change to automatic firing along with increased damage.


                        - Another gun idea from perfect dark is based on the Laptop gun. This gun can deployed as a sentry gun and picked back up anytime. Possibly only one can be deployed at a time because if you had all 4 or 8 players deploy it I believe it would be far to easy against zombies. Would be useful for covering windows or other areas so the players can focus on more important areas of zombies, or just added as support.


                        - They should add electric type claymores. When set off it makes a electric stun field that stuns the zombies for 2 secs or more and kills them depending on the level. It will be able to stun multiple zombies as long as they are close to the electric field it sets off.


                        - Some trap ideas for the maps I suggested earlier. On the water map could have a trap that you push a switch and it closes the door and it opens up the room the zombies are in allowing water to come in and slam them against the wall and you watch it from the door porthole all the zombies getting knocked around in the water and pushed out into the ocean drowning to death. For my North Pole map idea you could have a trap that makes all the snow fall of the mountain onto the zombies burying them or a Giant snow ball that rolls down the mountain running over zombies and they are stuck with the heads and legs sticking out of this snowball.. lol.


                        - Make a new enemy that can come in during the middle of zombies rounds and turn off the power, shutting off traps, perk machines, etc. The power has to be turned back on after the enemy turns it off. Possibly can kill this new enemy and get a something for it. Doesn't come every round more like as often as every 5 rounds or so.


                        - During nighttime could make it really dark and your equipped flashlight turns on making the feeling of the game that much more creepy being surronded by zombies in the dark with a flashlight.


                        - New wonder weapon that when fired is like a pulse wave, it melts the flesh off of the zombies and they turn into skeletons before falling to the ground.


                        - Add a new type of grenade or special grenade. It would be a exploding acid serum in a test tube and you can throw them and when the glass breaks the chemical reaction explodes killing zombies and leaves a pool of acid on teh ground melting the zombies flesh who are caught in the explosion as well as zombies who walk into it.


                        - Lastly, maybe a cloaking device perk that you can use for a few seconds and it can be re-used but after you use it you have to re-charge it by killing a certain amount of zombies.

                              This is probably going to be my last post.

                               

                              -Why not add C4 to be able to buy off walls? maybe limit it to two per round, but i loved buying C4 in MW3 and just completely covering the room with C4 before detonating it.

                               

                              - I noticed a lot of people complaining about zombies needing to be scary. Well with the way zombies is currently it kinda is but it is also funny and I like the comedy in it. It might not be scary to some older folks but I'm sure it does scare some kids at times. So for a scary map idea, why not the classic? Make a map of transvanila castle in Romania. It could be a huge map too since the castle is so big. It leaves plenty of room for ideas and it could be scary in dracula's castle.

                               

                              - Also for environments I think adding hurricanes or tornadoes in some way would be pretty cool that happen during gameplay if you do certain things.

                               

                              - Last thing, another map idea. Why not a map that is multiple maps in itself? I mean, a map that you can change dimensions in. Change backwords, forwards, fight zombies upside down on the ceiling. combined physics affecting weight of objects, gravity, time/speed sped up or slowed down, slow motion, reverse, maybe a wonder weapon that has some kind of reverse effect multiple colors. Just a map that is constantly changing or you can change yourself by changing the dimensions, I think that would be a lot of fun to play on, so the environment won't get boring so fast.

                                I think treyarch should let you do something similar to how  in MW3's multiplayer it let you set your own game modes and settings in  friend matches.

                                i think it would be cool if Treyarch made it where  for zombies friend matches if you could choose your own settings. Like  for people that just want to relax and have fun they could make it easy  or for die hard fans crank up the difficulty.  maybe also be able to  make other choices like choosing what class of weapons the box gives you  like wonder weapons, shotguns, assualt rifles, etc.

                                  That's a great idea it would be kinda like a fun mode. I don't see why they couldn't do it, they had the combat simulator where you make your own matches and go up against the AI on your set difficulty in BO1.

    I'm not going to comment on any of your ideas except for the underwater map.  [Removed by Moderator]  You have to know what zombies are before you even suggest an underwater map.  They're the UNDEAD!  They don't sink in water.  Why do all dead bodies float to the top?  Physics 101:  Water gets inside the skin through the pours and causes bouyancy. [Removed by Moderator] If you want to be in a base and shoot zombies floating above you in the water, go ahead.  The only other way is to tie cement blocks to their feet...and that's just a [Removed by Moderator] rationalization.  Here's another idea.  Have them come in on the cargo ships docking with the base.  Cargo ships are only sent once in a while, certainly not every "Round"...and only humans would send cargo ships.  Zombies apocalypse means No Humans.  What about the people that die in the "Underwater Base", like on the Moon? Nobody is going to bury somebody under a "Water Tight" Base.  You can bury them in the sand outside the base...but then THEY FLOAT TO THE SURFACE.  Now we are back to square One.
