~NEW INFORMATION ABOUT THE BUS MUST READ~

Posted by Adammgardner on Dec 2, 2012 10:52 PM

Ok so I wanted to hear some quotes about the bus driver and so I looked it up on youtube well some one posted quotes from the bus driver here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MW4E-QCPAw

 

and at exactly 2:00 mark on the vid he says

"New route learned, Cross mapping Software, automatic route guidence still in effect."

 

this leads me to believe that the nav cards can be used on the bus or there is a hidden nav card you must find that no one has found yet for the nav table which also leads me to believe that thats why the nav table stays there so if you mess up that far you can just get the nav card again next game and teach the bus driver the new route again. I believe this is allowing us to go to another area that you cant see or see in theatre.

 

The place I believe it will take you is right before the diner right behind it you can see a whole road leading some where that might be it not sure.

 

 

also had an Idea since all the parts for the bus looks like it belongs to a train and there are trains before the diner that maybe since the roof piece worked in the diner too that you can put the ladder or front piece on something else, or the trains before the diner possibly.

 

also if you look on the doors of the train there is a power symble so I believe turbine woundergun or emps might have something to do with opening them.

 

If you guys figure it out post here!

    umm, doesn't the bus driver say this as you come off the road into the diner on account of the main road being blocked by cars?

      Nope, there he says something along the lines of:

       

      "Error, error, global positioning system navigation error. and something else I forgot"

      thats what i thought aswell m8, bec\use the bus has to drive down a small dirt hill as the road is blocked

    FWIW, the bus route map in the depot does show a road leaving the familiar closed bus loop.  The road heads south and meets the bus route between the tunnel and diner... right about where the driver makes those remarks.

      DUDE.

       

      I'm not sure, but look at that picture you posted, in the top right corner.

       

      "Routes

      A - 9:15; 11:30;

           2:00;   4:15;  6:30

      No Night Service

       

      B - 8:00; 10:00

           12:00; 2:00"

       

      There could be something to this.

        Well there is a clock in the bus station now I don't know if time progresses on the clock as the game progresses. It was funny I looked at the clock and thought maybe this might be like the ascension easter egg how you had to shoot the clock with a ballistic knife

          Clock is at 7:50pm, or 19:50, which I believe is just a reference to the year 1950! That is why the bus and the enviroment has a 1950's feel to it, but is actually set further into the future, as confirmed by the Maxis quote "I have been searching for decades for someone to help", and the robotic bus driver "T.E.D.D"

            Well I was just thinking that they've done stuff with clocks before. So I was thinking as maybe the next part of the easter egg maybe shoot the clock when the church bell rings. Which brings up another point the church bell I feel has to be involved in some way.

              Well, they do stand out, so maybe they do have some kind of significance, but to date, any way of trying to interact with them has led to nothing. I may look into the timetables in the Depot again and check for any times that coincide with time on the clocks!

            Well there's another clock at the Bus Depot, inside the station

            behind one of the windows and it says 5:10...

              Maybe, yeah, but the only other clocks in the game are stuck at 19:50, which would be the time that the Rocket hit Earth at, and effectively the clocks stopped working. Maybe not though, but if there is indeed more clocks, then they most likely would have some significance. Will look into it again.

                there is a lot of emphasis on time in the zombies series. look at der riese, "be aware of the 6" on kino, ascension the clock you have to wait like 3 minutes infront of and stand still. Then theres definitely shangri la going back and forth of time, and nuketown with the broken time tower, (35 zombies die clock goes from 9>10, then 30 zombies die clock goes from 10>11, and 35 killed again clock goes from 11>12, then makes a sound and goes back to 9.) and now this clock in tranzit and the bus schedule.

                 

                They really love time. gotta be important.

                I play tranzit at a friends house since my ps3 decided to go all suicide on me but I remember doing the accension clock thingy and I figured since the clocks dont work in tranzit I would try the ballistic knife on them there too but that didnt work out either.. Soo maybe you have to "power them on" somehow since the rockets probably destroyed them if you catch my drift

                 

                I will try this out tomorrow.


                there just has to be more to this EE

                  Sorry mate, but you do NOT need a ballistic knife for that part of the Ascension EE!

                   

                  All you need to do is have all four people sit under the launch pad and the clock would start the countdown. Not sure why people think you need a ballistic for that stage!?!

    have you tried using electric trap? i picked one up the other night and my character said something like "i could use this on that damn bus driver" or something very similar. Just saying, it is possibe the trap has some sort of effect on the driver.

      Sorry guys, butI believe the bus driver says these quotes because the road leaving the tunnel is blocked off leaving the driver no alternative but to enter the Diner instead! I am not convinced that there is any area of the map around that way, or that the trains have any purpose... YET! The area's behind the trains are nothing, as is the case for the large structure across from power. We need to be looking for what we have at our disposal, and not looking for hidden things in the fog that are NOT there! The map has been no clipped without fog, so we know there is nothing more to work with yet than what we have on show! And sorry adam, but there is nothing in this post that we do not already know. Everything possible has been tried with the trains, and they are not for doing anything!!! No clipped them and they are empty! Listen guys... If you want to try all these old step again, then do the ToB first and then try these things in the same game that you got the ToB in, otherwise you will continue to chase ghosts!

        You say everything possible has been tried with the trains but i majorly doubt that.


        It would take forever to try everything with the trains and/or any other objects or parts of the map.
        This is the reason why...


             Think how difficult it would be if you didnt already know how to find the exact spot to build the Obelisk table. You have to be in exactly the perfect spot for the build indicator to appear (even spiderbite had trouble in his tutorial vids).

            Similarly with the bus hatch on the roof, it only appears if you jump first.

            Same in the garage with the radio i think it is. At first glance it just looks like part of the scenery but you have to jump up to even realize your able to pick it up!

             They dont make these things easy!!

            

             So i definitely dont reckon everything has been tried. At all. You would have to scour every bloody train carriage jumping up and down looking for icons/idicators to pop up.


             And then you might be right and theres nothing to find anywhere near the trains....

         

              But theres a whole map to explore doing this method. And i'm guessing nobody has gone round every edge of the map and scoured every inch of every building doing this!!

         

             And knowing treyarch i think the next step will be so hidden that someones probably gonna have to do this unfortunately

          But you're definitely spot on with the fact we're gonna have to do this in the same game after completing the EE.

           

          Thats the biggest problem here

            WE found where to build the Navcard table the first day we played the game. Same goes for using the hatch for the Diner instead of the Bus. Took us a little while to figure Pack-a-Punch though.

             

            As for the trains... We have EMP'd them, placed turbines at them, had the Avogadro shoot them, used electrical traps at them, punched them, War Machined them, Monkey bombed them, with and without power. So, not really sure what else we can try. Have tried the same tactics with the Church.

              Don't you love how everyone throws out Ideas and then waits for someone else to try them? Haha

               

              I'm with ya Deathbringer I've tried tons of stuff to no avail, yet I KNOW the EE can't stop where it's at. The thing that keeps me going is the Nav Card. There is something we haven't done yet. I've tried a bunch of stuff to get it to accept it in the machine, but nothing seems to work.

               

              I wish Jimmy would throw us a bone....And not a cryptic one at that!

                Agreed, I am thinking there has to be more that can be done with T.E.D.D, other than enrage him! I am going to look into this Timetable thing just now and see what comes up!

                Can't pap the jetgun, I had a friend try, it wouldn't let him, unless of course he was doing something wrong.

                 

                Either way right now from my experiences you cannot pap the jetgun.

                Holy sh*t dude, you are pushing the point a little. lol... and yes, we have used that Jetgun on so many things that we are sick of running around and building it again... but we still do anyway!

                 

                Has NO effect on the trains!!!

            Yeah, that was quite informative. It is for these reason that I also believe that there is going to be another route to unlock. Maybe just one more stop, but I still think that it CAN be done. Listened to these audio quotes a week or so back and it was enough to spurn us on to try these new things out every night! We are looking into the four street lamps that glow after ToB just now and then hopefully go back to T.E.D.D afterwards. But yeah, good info man!

    well just as you leave the bus stop theres train tracks or tram tracks and the navcards gotta have something to do wih the bus and if you look at nuketown xombies its on a seperate map and on that map it looks like theres roads for a bus route.
