2nd Secret Easter Egg??!!!!

A couple days ago Sledgehammer tweeted out something about a 2nd Easter Egg but they didn't go any further than that since there isn't much info most of this post will be peoples thoughts or ideas on what it could be since I haven't seen anyone trying to figure it out on stream yet.

There is a lot of speculation right now to whether the 2nd EE even exists but most people are hopeful and have been going through the map looking for any other clues other than a bottle that disappears once you shoot it.

I have been reading up on ways other people have come up with but it doesn't seem like anyone has tried so I might dedicate a weekend to trying some of these methods because I am curious if they bothered to make a 2nd EE or whether they were to lazy to delete some coding like other people are thinking.

Also there is a challenge set by NGT for everyone to try and figure it out I don't know why they haven't started trying yet but they did spend a long time figuring out the first one and they do deserve a break. So if anyone wants to try this challenge I will leave the link here if you want to check out what they think the steps might include.

Carrier Easter Egg!

The map has been out for about a week now which is more than enough time for everyone to have figured out all the steps to the easter egg and sure enough it has been done.

Unfortunately most of the people who stream them trying to figure out the easter egg are american so I miss most of the stream so I never got to see it live but luckily they posted the video online for everyone to watch and to do. I have tried it myself but I kept getting unlucky and not being able to aim properly or quickly enough with the grenades.



In my opinion the easter egg is pretty easy but I just need to practice more then I will be able to do it no problem. I have been watching NGT try and do it solo which is easy as well but the last time they streamed it the game ended in a ridiculous way and he stopped playing it for a while and have gone back to older zombie games to do those easter eggs again.



Since there is not that much more to talk about about the map I will talk about the cut scene you get at the end of the easter egg.

It starts with them initiating the self destruct protocol on the ship and running away while killing a few zombies but when they get to the exit Lilith starts to hear a noise and thinks its Oz but then Decker just starts shooting saying its a zombie. A few moments pass and the noise is finally reveled as a zombie Oz and then the cut scene ends.



This has got me excited for the next map just so I can find out what happens with the group and to see what is up with Oz to see if its a trick or not.

Thought's on Supremacy DLC!

As I mentioned in my previous post the latest DLC has been announced the only difference now is that is out and available for download. Since my blog is about zombies I will be mainly talking about the zombie map (Carrier) and maybe a little about the new multi player maps. As its suggested in the name the map is set on a aircraft carrier which seems to be owned by Atlas since there logo is everywhere and so is their technology.



I have only played the map a couple times but I already enjoy although the maps seem to have a lot in common they have focused more on the appearance in this map. There is a part of the map where there is live zombie sharks, I will be honest I didn't think I would ever see a zombie shark in a zombie map but apparently Sledgehammer have decided they wanted them. I have mainly been watching NGT do there usual easter egg hunt so I can get tips on how to do it myself when the time comes that I want to do it.




Sledgehammer have also added in a new feature where you have to defuse a bomb I am not sure if it is every round but it is too often for my liking because you got to go against Atlas soldiers and they get stronger as the rounds get higher. It gets really annoying after a while because you also have to survive while the Atlas soldiers shoot at you and the zombies start rushing in which is really difficult because after 10 seconds your 1 hit away from going down and you need to navigate your way out quickly before the Atlas soldiers can get you.



As I mentioned in the previous post Oz is no longer someone you can play as but we don't know if he is dead. Throughout the map you will hear Oz talk but he is not there what the assumption is that it is just a recording of him reading out the Captains log but as I said this is just an assumption since no one has finished the Easter egg to get the cut scene we don't know yet.





Once I have played the map more I will have another post hopefully there will be more info around by then.

Latest CoD DLC!

On June 2nd for Xbox one/360 the supremacy DLC will be released for download. With most CoD DLC there are 4 Multiplayer maps and 1 zombie map (Treyarch/Sledgehammer) now since my blog is about zombies I will be focusing on the exo zombie map. There isn't that much information for it yet but what I have read is telling me there is a new character joining the team but the unfortunate side is that there is only 4 characters which means 1 of them has to go.

At the end of the last Exo zombie map (Infection) there is a clip of the four characters about to get over run by zombies but then an atlas warbird swoops in and kills the zombies. This is when we get our first look at the new character not much worth mentioning  happens after that until the end where he says he is joining the team but then says 'but one of you has to go' now the screen goes black after that and that's it.












(*****SPOILER ALERT****)


Now when I was looking for more information on this the current theory is that it is Oz who is being replaced which is unfortunate since he was my favourite characters 1 reason was because of the lines he got but mostly because I like the actor who plays him John Malkovich.



I am personally looking forward to playing this map because it looks better than the previous two and I should have a post on my thoughts and opinions after.

Dead Island! Bugs/Glitches!

Dead Island is well known for having bugs and glitches in the game. I haven't played it personally but  I was reading up on it recently looking at all the bugs and glitches and there is a lot of them, which surprised me because the game is quite popular and has DLC and a couple sequels. I haven't looked up any glitches or bugs that are on any other installments because I didn't think there would be as many as the first one.



The bugs/glitches change on each platform you play on I assuming because each system runs the game in a different way even if it is in a subtle way it can affect the game. Luckily there are glitches that are on every platform some that can help you get an advantage but also some that can hinder your progress. With most games that you have an inventory there is a way to duplicate your items even if it is to save you time or the items are hard to get it, in that way I can understand why people would want to do it but there are also some which could mess up the game. Dead Island is no exception to this because there are several ways to duplicate your items and luckily they are easy and doesn't cause you to lose anything.



In Dead Island there are a few good glitches then there are the ones that can get annoying over time especially the disappearing gun glitch. The disappearing gun glitch can happen at any time and unfortunately isn't just applied to the lower tier weapons even the hard to obtain weapons which could really annoy people playing the game considering how much time they have put into the game and what gun disappears. They are also other bad glitches which are just annoying because it can make you skip missions altogether or there are ones which hinder your progress and make you spend longer on the mission than is necessary.



I haven't let this influence my decision but the way the game plays doesn't suit the kind of experience I want while playing a zombie game.

Treyarch Zombies: A Little History!

In 2008 Treyarch released World at War which was their first Call of Duty to contain there much loved zombie survival game mode. As some developers do they leave hidden as we call ‘Easter Eggs’ for players to look for and find. In this case Treyarch were working on a secret project which would be unlocked at the end of the campaign. 

With the lead up to the release of World at War the secret project was almost thrown out the window because it was taking too long to develop but after Mark Lamia played the game mode he decided that it needed to be in the game and they still managed to finish the game on time. The zombie game mode was never advertised or publicized so they could keep as a secret until the first person completed the game and let everyone know, the zombie game is revealed with a cut scene it starts straight after the campaign when the player is lying on the ground surrounded by plane parts on fire which indicates a plane crash, while the  player is taking in the surroundings a black figure seems to be running at the player which doesn't indicate anything suspicious yet but as the figure gets closer, the player can start to see that there is something wrong with the figure and before the player knows it the figure is now revealed as a zombie the screen goes black at the zombie game mode starts and is revealed.

Ever since then the Zombie game mode has become more and more popular even getting its own story line now in the newest CoD (Black ops 3) which has got people on the edge of their seats for more news leading up to the games release which unfortunately isn't until 6.11.15.

The Walking Dead S5, E16

On this week's the walking dead...

Rick wakes up in a prison cell after being knocked out by Michonne in the previous episode, while that is going on Deanna is still deciding what to do after everything has happened and what was said to her by Gabriel. Deanna decides to hold a meeting inviting everyone in the town to vote on what happens to the group. Rick is heading to the meeting to hear his fate when he sees 3 walkers that have managed to enter the camp and quickly kills 2 off them but struggling with the third leaving us on the edge of our seats to see the outcome of the fight, While we are watching the fight it keeps going back and fourth to Glenn who is being lead into a trap by Nicholas. At this point I was on the edge of my seat because i'm not sure if i have mentioned this before but Glenn is my favourite character and I think the show would be ruined without him. Nicholas then shoots Glenn but gets him in the shoulder so he doesn't die like Nicholas wanted and fights back.

It then goes back to Rick who eventually kills the walker and it swiftly moves back to Glenn who beats Nicholas but spares his life and returns him to the camp. Rick makes it to the meeting and throws down the dead walker in order to prove a point on how much he is needed and then goes on about that. He is rudely interrupted by a drunk Pete who goes for him holding Michonne's sword but Reg walk's in front and Pete pushes him away but ends up slicing his throat open with the sword and he bleeds to death. Deanna then turns to Rick and tells him to kill Pete, Rick doesn't hesitate and kills him. To his horror Rick turns and sees Morgan, Morgan had been watching the whole time and was mortified that the man he knew had become what he was now.

In my opinion this was one of the better episodes in series 5 and ending it on that scene has left me unable to wait for season 6 to begin to see what happens between Morgan and Rick.

The Walking Dead S5,E14

On this weeks The Walking Dead.

This weeks walking dead has got to be my favourite episode ever simply because it is filled with zombie killing and there are some dramatic deaths which made the episode even better to me even though i liked one that died i knew it was inevitable.

The episode is filled with great parts so i will just mention my favourite part. It begins with a simple supply run going wrong when Aidan shoots a walker that is strapped with explosives (God knows why??) and every one is hurled in different directions in the warehouse. unfortunately for Aidan he has been impaled on the wall and can't be saved and Glen and Nicolas quickly find this out and Aidan just tells them to leave and then he is swiftly eaten by zombies. As Glen, Nicolas and Noah try to escape they get stuck in a rotating glass door because they are zombies on the outside and zombies on the inside so they are then stuck in the middle. (As i forgot to mention this earlier they were also accompanied by  Tara and Eugene, Tara was also knocked out and is bleeding from a head injury)  That is when Eugene drives by in the van playing dubstep and gets the zombies on the outside away, but all is not safe because if the door swings either way Nicolas will get eaten or Glen and Noah will so being the smart guy Glen is he starts to break the glass to get a gun but Nicolas the coward freaks out and squeezes out his side pushing Noah into the zombies and he is ripped apart in front of our and Glens eyes.

This episode is made further interesting because it ends on a cliff hanger. This is caused by Carol's growing suspicison that Jessie's Husband is beating her and her children which causes her to say to rick 'Your going to  have to kill him' and then the episode ends and we are on the edge of our seats till next week.

The Walking Dead S5,E13

On this weeks walking dead not much has happened it has just been about how the group are settling in and a few background stories on some of the characters. In the episode it also showed some of the groups at there jobs and it looked like most of them were enjoying themselves which made me feel happy for them even though i wished there was a bunch of zombie killing going on.

As the episode progresses it starts to center around Sasha as she starts to freak out, in my opinion i think she is finally lashing out for the death of her brother (Tyreese) in the first episode when they aired after the mid season break. Near towards the end of the episode there is a party where Sasha completely loses it at starts yelling at a group of girls because she overheard them saying one of there biggest worries was something to do with cooking but because of everything she has been through it just set her off.



As I have mentioned in every post since they arrived at Alexandria I have finally decided to trust MOST of the people there but not every one because they are making some people seem shady and i don't want the influencing my decision so i will just exclude them.

As always i am ever hopeful that next weeks episode will be better than last and leave me at the edge of my seat until the end.

The Walking Dead (S5,E12)

On this weeks walking dead the group entered Alexandria and to my surprise they had a nice community, there weren't a lot of people pointing guns at them or people on rooftops looking out. It looked like a town before the outbreak and the people there looked the same.

As the episode went on the leader of Alexandria asked to interview them one on one and she did and she went on to talk about how Alexandria had been there since the start. After Rick's interview we were shown to were the group would be staying and they were 2 perfectly in tact houses with working electric and running water (I don't know how this is possible). They also introduced a few new characters and as the walking dead writers are i don't know how long they are going to live since the made it passed there first episode.



In my last post i talked about how I am still undecided on whether or not to trust them and unfortunately i still have that same opinion and mostly because of what rick said how people are just about surviving and always seem to have an angle which has been proved in past episodes.

 I am very hopeful for next weeks episode to see if they will show us how Alexandria came to be since they have done that with most characters/bases. I am also hopeful that they will help me decide whether i should trust everyone at Alexandria or not.

The Walking Dead

I know my past 3 posts have been about games but i am going to try and talk about zombie shows and movies here also so i can have a variety in my blog without changing the topic.

On Monday the latest episode of the walking dead came out (Sunday for the US) and it was probably my favorite episode since the season came back from its mid season break. The summary of it is that it's a continuation of the previous week as is the usual with TV shows but at the end of last weeks episode a new character was introduced 'Aaron' saying that he had come to help. At the beginning of this weeks episode they brought Aaron inside and tied him up and asked him what he was doing there, he went on to tell them about his community 'Alexandria' and eventually towards the middle-end of the episode they go there and nearly get Michonne, Glenn and rick killed by taking the non cleared roads but they eventually get there and at the episode ends at them looking at 'Alexandria's' wall while the sound of playing children is in the background.



With nothing much in the preview of next weeks episode i am still undecided whether i trust Aaron or not but as with the knowledge of the past 'safe communities' i have no hope that this will end up being a interesting story line. Although i wouldn't mind that they stayed there i feel like the show would start to get boring compared to the thrill of watching them kill zombie after zombie. In the back of mind i am still thinking about the plan of them going to Washington DC but with Alexandria being so close it has me thinking that the rest of the season will be based there and during the start of season 6 something will happen and they will end up back on the road to Washington again.

Dying Light Post #2

Since the game is not released on disc in the UK until the 27th of February I have yet still to play it but that hasn't stopped my from watching as much content on the game as possible. Lately i have been watching someone who speed runs the game, he uses a couple of glitches to help him through the game but nothing game breaking. With these small glitches he is able to complete the game in a little over 2 hours which is amazing since currently people who play through it casually usually take up to 20 hours in game time.



I have also been looking more into the story line of Dying Light and i read some of the reviews and i don't agree with most of what they say, I thoroughly enjoyed watching the story line but i do agree that they should have put more character development into the game maybe even have  put in bonus missions for each of the different main characters so we can understand how they got to the place they are in the story.

Dying Light 

Dying Light is the most recent zombie game to come out with its digital release date only 6 days ago for PC and 5 days ago for Xbox one and PS4 in the UK. unfortunately i haven't had the chance to play it yet but i have been watching game play and reading views on it. the overall review on it has been between 5 and 8/10 but that is mainly based on people who play it to review it the overall opinion on it is that is an enjoyable game with a few little glitches here and there.

A bit about the game play:

Dying Light is set in a fictional country know as harran, you play as agent kyle crane who is undercover in a quarantine zone trying to track down a man by the name of Kadir Suleman or as he is referred in the game Rais. Before the outbreak began Rais used to work for the GRE but after the outbreak he stole a file and fled to harran thats when the GRE sent in Kyle Crane to retrieve the file.

New CoD Zombie DLC

On Tuesday 27th January 2015 sledgehammer released a zombie DLC for the latest instalment of the call of duty franchise Advanced Warfare. The DLC includes 4 new online multiplayer maps which is the usual throughout call of duties timeline but with this DLC they have also released a zombie map which is usually common with the call of duty games made by Treyarch ever since it was first introduced in 'Call of Duty: World at War'. Sledgehammer's version of the zombies game mode has integrated there new movement feature the exo suit.
 

They also added different types of zombies, some off them come with their own exo suit and some come with exo abilities just to add that extra bit of difficulty to make the zombie experience that much better and to give long time fans of the zombie game mode a different view on CoD zombies.
