The Maxis Diary and Mob of the Dead!

UPDATE: Samantha also had a dog named Fluffy, and I imagine that Fluffy is the hellhound that is currently known to be a replacement for the Mystery Box and Pack-a-Punch, or has something to do with the easter egg.

Hi guys!

Mario here with an interesting thing I figured out just now!

I was looking through the Call of Duty Forums to try and find some info on the new Multiplayer maps or Mob of the Dead, and I came across something very interesting. Someone referred back to the Maxis Diary, in which the middle paragraph says:

"The fact that the test subjects departed their point of origin is undeniable. What is uncertain is what became of them. Doctor Richtofen is insistent in his belief that they have been transported not through space - but through time. In the absence of empirical evidence, I myself cannot entertain such...madness."

Note that the second sentence says that they have been 'transported not through space - but through time". The Mob of the Dead trailer noted that the map would be set in the 1920's, going into the 1930's. And, after being in the present time for the 5 previous Zombies maps, it seemed bizarre they would go back in time to more than 50 years ago. This must have something to do with teleporter that is in the first paragraph of the Maxis Diary.

The storyline that I've been told is that Doctor Richtofen killed Maxis and teleported him and his daughter Samantha to Moon, the final Black Ops 1 map. When Samantha and Maxis controlled, the zombies eyes were orange.

Now coming back to the trailer. Note that the zombies' eyes in the trailer are red, not orange nor blue. Someone has said that, because Richtofen killed Samantha's father, Maxis, Samantha took control of the zombies in that time period and, because she was so mad at Richtofen for killing her father, she turned the zombie's eyes a darker color than orange, and thus they are red. This is really quite in-depth if you're new to the Zombies storyline like I am, but this all sounds pretty interesting.

  1. I would think since their eyes change based on who's controlling them, that their eyes are red because someone or something else is controlling the zombies. In the cutscene for die rise people think that the voice sam hears is not that of richtofen's because it sounds completely different, and when you play as him you hear a voice in your head. Or maybe its because nothing is controlling them at all.
