With the hints provided in the easter egg on Call of the Dead, it became clear that "Paradise" would be the next zombie map. Now the third DLC is out, and, once again, the zombie map is not on the moon. I think this may be a close-up of the moon. This can also be seen in an upstairs room in Hanoi on the Black Ops Multiplayer. Before starting any film reels on the projector, the screen is occupied by the classic 3, 2, 1 countdown, and then a picture of a white surface with a few grey spots. The one link in Black Ops zombie maps (aside from the Obvious hints in Ascension) is the projectons in the theater room in Kino Der Toten. the Other link (originally) in World at War to the moon and the zombies story is the visible meteorite on Shi No Numa.

The second and final reference on Der Riese is the eclipsed moon that some claim to see 115 on. (Originally) in World at War, the biggest references to the moon are on Der Riese: First is the bit of hyroglyphics behind one of the boarded windows that translates to "moon" (so I've heared). Then I realized that I should retrace my steps. What really confused me was when I heard from a friend that the map's easter egg revealed that the original characters were in this map after all (which deminished my hopes that perhaps the characters would appear in a moon map in the next DLC). And then after the brand-spanking-new-map-pack-excitement-feeling wore off, I realized that this was not the moon at all. Perhaps the next map will be on the moon.Įventually the second DLC came out and I spent hours on solo trying not to piss off George. I was driven mad by not knowing what the voice meant by "the mechanism must be repaired." Although I knew so little about the map then, it was still obvious that the theme was the space race.

Being the MLG that I was, I made it to round 6 or so.

After downloading the First Strike DLC for Black Ops, I immediately played a solo round of Ascension.
