Nazi Zombie Backstory



Hey everyone...glad you're all so involved (and the others in the community)with the story behind Nazi Zombies. Its been pretty rewarding for all of us to see you guys dive into the back story and these characters the way that you have.

Most of our clues were buried in the maps, or were difficult to trigger. Some were just so obscure (like the Lullaby) that we thought no one would notice.

But you did.

So I'm convinced that you guys can figure out the relevance of these things simply because you noticed them or triggered them in the first place. Obviously, it resonates with you enough to realize it’s part of something bigger.

I've recievd a new list of storyline questions recently that I'm compelled to answer...or not answer, as the case may be. Thanks to "Kolton" for sending these questions!

Question: "Richtofen created the Wunnderwaffe DG-2 and is run by element 115"

Answer: Richtofen seems to think so, doesn't he?

Question: "DG stands for Die Glocke or, The Bell a missing piece of the secret German weaponry experiments"

Answer: Seems like a reasonable assumption based on the evidence.

Question: "Peter cannot be the hanging man due to the transmitions"

Answer: Why not? If someone left a message on your answering machine but you were dead in the room next door, it wouldn't mean that the message wasn't intended for you...


Question: "The zombies are created by a disease caused by 115"


Answer: I'm not really sure about that. Its sounds pretty stereotypical…just like our characters 

Question: "The meteor electricity has something to do with the dogs appearance."

Answer: Why would a meteor be spewing electricity? Perhaps it only looks to you like electricity.

Question: "Einstein will have something to do with the Wunderwaffe."

Answer: I would imagine any scientists doing research on things like Element 115 or the Meteor may or may not refer to some of his papers and\or wish to consult with someone like him. As to whether he was directly involved, I don't think there is evidence to support that.

Question: "Die Glocke was linked with time travel."

Answer: According to wikipedia, yes.

Question: "Why are four different factions working together?"

Answer: First off, there is no evidence to suggest that everyone is working together, other than these four lovable characters. Secondly, if a zombie apocalypse happened, don't you think we could put our differences aside for survival?

Question: "Why does Dempsey like Takeo but not Nikolai seeing how Russians are his ally and Japan his enemy?"

Answer: Well, I don't think the war would matter much if its four of you against the zombie horde. (See above)

If I'm thinking like Dempsey, I gotta think he respects the good honorable qualities of Takeo, but isn't into the laziness of Nikolai. I think, if you listen closely, he's fairly ambivalent about Nikolai...but he really doesn't like Richtofan.

Each character seems to have someone they like, and someone they don't...just like all of you who are reading this blog :)

Question: "Does the quick revive tasting like fish have any meaning?"

Answer: Not really, but it does two things: 1) you can imagine what it tastes like, and 2) its a little comic relief since Takeo actually likes it!

Good times!

Thanks a lot for the input I never actually thought anyone would answer my questions. Usually people just pass it up and think nothing of it. I love the mystery put into effect though :) and all these disturbing yet interesting noises, you guys did an amazing job of blending styles of music and instruments (being a percussionist myself i espescially love the work on black cats haha) So since I'm just moving in circles on this story at the moment I am just going to keep researching the sites and links and hope the new zombie map/maps ;)come out offer new leads and ways to think about this whole "case" and I just want to get a fresh start on a new map and then see what I can link from old theories to it and possibly make new ones. So keep at it I'm sure the next zombies will be better than the last.

Thanks,
Kolton

We have already found some interesting things from the gameplay video! Check out the video below

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SodepNApK4

This passage got me excited the most... It Reads: Embrace the "Trinity" and true power will be yours! Nazi's referred the trinity as "Race, Blood, + Soil" Search Trinity Nazi on google there is a tie to "The Vatican?"

In the video you will see a Screen Shot of an "SOS" on top of a small building you will also notice a still image of the Monkey Bomb which we believe to play music and attract the zombies and times down then the tnt blows up kaboom? Can't wait to dive deep into Der Riese FTW!

Ok well my friends are flippin out and they think I'm why teleporters showed up in map pack 3 because I linked the die glocke to it earlier. So will you tell me if I did or not so they will calm down. :)

Thanks,
