I dont take credit for this just posting it.

So here's the story. I used to be a game reviewer for IGN, so naturally, I got to play many games months before release. About a month before Ascension came out, I leaked some info on it on this forum. My boss let it go, but warned me that if it happened again, I would be fired. From that point on, I vowed to never do anything of the sort again. However, just yesterday, my boss told me that after revisiting the situation while in contact with Treyarch, he discovered that technically, I must be fired for this. So I was.

Now, that's bullsh!t, don't you think? To forgive someone for something and then punish them for it months later? So I'm gonna get back at Treyarch for this by leaking information on Moon. Unfortunately for Treyarch, I had the chance to play Moon before I was fired, so now I'm gonna leak a bunch of information on it, information that was supposed to be kept secret from the general gaming public until release. So, here goes nothing:

Let's start by talking about the new wonder weapon everyone's buzzing about: the Wave Gun. I've used this gun before, and I can safely say that you will love it. You shoot it at a crowd of zombies, and they literally puff up and explode. But that's not all this gun does. By pressing left on the d-pad, you can literally split the gun in half, resulting in two separate handheld guns, titled the Voltage Rays. You hold them one in each hand, and they shoot electricity, similar to the Wunderwaffe DG-2, however the Voltage Rays zap less zombies with each shot.

Another thing I want to tell you about is the new special grenade, the Quantam Entanglement Device. When you throw it, it creates a large, dome-shaped force field around it which zombies are seemingly magnetically pulled into, and everything you do to one zombie in the force field happens to all the others in it. For example, if you shoot one zombie, all the others will have a bullet hole in them as well. In the Intel, Treyarch said that along with blessing your battle, the Quantam Entanglement Device can also curse it, but from what I've seen, there are no negative effects of it. Guess I must be missing something.

Another thing you might be interested in knowing about is the new perk, Three-Gun Tequila. As you can probably guess from the title, this perk allows you to wield three weapons instead of the regular two. It costs 3,000 points to buy, its color is grey, and it symbol is a pistol with two phasing pistols stacked under it. If you get downed with this perk, you lose the weapon you were currently holding, but if you're revived and you buy the perk again, you get that weapon back.

The next thing I want to touch upon is the new special zombie, the Phasing Zombie. Similar to the Napalm Zombie and the Shrieker Zombie from Shangri-La, these zombies are fairly rare. But when they do appear, you're in trouble. They appear out of thin air, and you can see them for a moment, but then they become invisible. They don't appear again until they attack or they are shot at. However, if you pay close attention when they're invisible, you can see a kind of distortion where they are. Unfortunately, though, this is hard to see when there are zombies all around you.

Something many people may be excited about is the return of possibly the most popular weapon next to the Ray Gun and Wunderwaffe DG-2 in the original World at War Nazi Zombies: the PPSh-41. The PPSh-41 is just as good as ever and virtually unchanged from the World at War version, besides enhanced graphics and sounds. The quotes from the characters when they get this gun are very entertaining as well. For example, when Nikolai gets it, he sometimes says, "Ah, reminds me of the good old days!", and when Richtofen gets it, he sometimes says, "Hahaha! I love the PP!".

It may also be worth mentioning that you cannot leave the base for more than fifteen seconds seconds if you don't buy a space suit, which can be bought in multiple locations around the map for 1,000 points. When you die, you lose yours.

The last thing I'd like to mention is how you access the Pack-A-Punch machine on Moon. In the power room, there is a large teleporter. To turn it on, you must activate ten different switches scattered around the map. Once you do that, the teleporter turns on for thirty seconds. If you can make it there and teleport, you will end up in Area 51. Here there is a fairly wide open area with the Pack-A-Punch machine in the center. After a minute, you will be teleported back to the moon.

I have no idea lol, I haven't been able to find the easter egg pieces yet. The only one I've found is in the starting room, under a grate in the floor.

Sweet leak btw what was your boss's name over @ IGN


Um even though I'm being rebellious I really don't think I should give away someones full name. It could get me into trouble. Sorry.

ajtpak38 wrote:
Is the map really hard and what round did you survive to?


It's really hard! I've only played it maybe about ten times, though, so it might take some getting used to. The highest I've gotten is round 12.

ajtpak38 wrote:
How big is the map? Is it the biggest map?


It's huge. Definitely the biggest map.

lolmastergeneral wrote:
Is there any intro to the map at all?


Just the comic you saw in the trailer along with some cool music.

Gorsky wrote:
have you completed the easter egg? how long is it and/or what does it have to do with? also do you know what any of the achievements are?


I don't know anything about the main easter egg yet and I haven't looked at the achievements, although now that you mention it I kinda wish I did, lol.

ajtpak38 wrote:
If you could give a review of the map moon 1 out of 10 stars, what would u give it? Also did they change anything in the hardend maps like add a scorpion?


From what I've played, I'd give it a 9 out of 10. And as far as I know, the World at War maps are the same as they were in the Hardened and Prestige editions.

Gorsky wrote:
yea that as well ^^^ are there hellhounds in the map and/or any max ammo rounds? are traps returning in the moon map, and are there any other WAW weapons besides the ppsh-41?


No, there are no special rounds, no traps, and there is the MP40 which you can buy off the wall, but I think that's it for the World at War guns.

Will you ALWAYS were a helmet/suit wat if u go outside without it do you blow up?


You can stay outside for fifteen seconds without a space suit until you're downed. Doesn't make any sense, I know, but since when was Zombies realistic?

Is there a new character or did richtofen shave his hair?


It's Richtofen, his hair is always been shaved I'm pretty sure, just hidden under his hat.

Shooter747 wrote:
Besides from the Wave gun and QED, are there any other wonder weapons available, like the Thunder gun, Wunderwaffe?


No.

Gorsky wrote:
alright i just have 2 last Questions, is the wavegun always a one shot kill like the thundergun/wunderwaffe and does you remember the ammo count? also idk if anyone has told you this yet but sorry about your job situation and thank you for leaking the info if its really true


Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's always one-hit-kill, and no I don't remember the ammo count. Oh and I know the whole situation is ridiculous.

DogeVitale wrote:
While I like having all the new info, what happened is more IGN's fault than Treyarch's.


No, it's Treyarch's fault. IGN let me off the hook, but then Treyarch stepped in blabbing about how IGN legally has to fire me for this and sh!t.

Have you been able to Pack-A-Punch the Wave Gun and see what that was like yet? And can you get the QED out of the box and have it as a tactical grenade like monkey bombs?


No, yes.

daawesomeguy44 wrote:
are you sure you cant be sued over this or something like that? because it seems that if treyarch has the power to get you fired there has to be some confidentiality agreement being violated or something. i would think that would mean they can seek compensation.


No, now that I'm no longer associated with IGN, they can't do anything about it.

Not that I know of, but you know what? I bet she has a lot to do with the main easter egg.

Wait! You may have answered this already. If you have then ignore this:

You said that there are no other wonderweapons exept the wave gun and QED, but I thought that you said that there was a Ray Gun.

Is there the Ray Gun or not?

There has to be a Ray Gun! It has been in every map before, it has to continue, like a tradition!


Of course.

Do Nova 6 crawlers affect you with your space suit on? What happens when zombies hit you with your space suit on, does it crack?


Well, to be honest, I can't quite remember if the space suit changes your reaction to the Nova Crawlers. Sorry about that, lol. And no, you just get downed like usual, and you don't lose the space suit unless you die completely.

I really hope this is true. If it is, Black Ops Zombies is going out with a bang.

-Does the recoil of your guns push you back any?

-Does the low-gravity environment affect the guns' statistics in any way?

-When buying Three-Shot Tequila, does the machine give you another M1911 to fill the empty weapon slot?

-Would you know what "faction" the moon base belongs to- USA or USSR?


I don't think so. I don't think so. No, you buy a weapon off the wall or from the Mystery Box and it fills the third slot. And no.

I will gladly eat my words if you are telling the truth though.


My boss is actually a really cool and forgiving guy and he decided to overlook the whole thing, cause believe it or not stuff like that happens all the time. It was Treyarch's fault that I was fired, not my boss's or IGN's in any way.

Btw, I now realize by posting it I completely ruined a competition someone was having to guess what the new perk would do. My apologies to him.

Pretty sure he was talking about when they're alive- after they die, the ragdoll effects take over. Look at a living zombie in the trailer. They really don't seem to behave any differently than on any other map.

One final question: are there any other new "standard" weapons on Moon? By this, I mean guns like the PSG1, RPG-7, ect.


No.

I'll remind you all again that I will ignore comments claiming that I'm a liar cause I have no evidence. Seriously, what kind of evidence could I possibly give you. If you don't believe me, that's fine, but please don't fill this thread with unnecessary posts.

Wow this is gettin' intense.

I thought that buzz saw on the moon was a trap though.

Can you describe each area of the map/ doors/ door prices?

Also where are the Bowie Knife and claymores are located, Power Switch?


No it's not a trap it's just part of the map like the spinning thing in Ascension. And I'm sorry, but it would be too hard to explain the entire layout of the map, and it's not like I memorized the whole layout anyway. But the Bowie Knife is located in one of the outside areas and the Claymores are located in the room overlooking the power room. The power switch is in a large circular room in the middle of the map, where there is also a large teleporter in the center.
Okay, listen up, Black Ops Tiger. The zombies do NOT float while alive, but when they're DEAD, they do float around. And about the PM63, I'm gonna go head and be honest by saying I have no idea about it, okay? It could be like in Call of the Dead where they had the drum mag on the HK21 and the silencer on the MPL, but they didn't end up in the real map. If not, then I don't know. All I know is I didn't see any new gun with a grenade launcher.

Sorry if this was asked or stated before, it is hard to keep up with this topic.

Anyways is the map a Nazi space station? It looked like in some of the screen shots that SS insignias were on cranes and even the zombies themselves.


I don't know, it very well could be!

Armor Of Purity wrote:
Oh when you flip the ten switches is their a dialogue that then accesses the PaP area?

Like on Ascension and Five?


Yeah, a voice comes over the intercom and says something like, "Teleporter access granted. Activation will now begin." He says more than that but I don't remember exactly.

I would believe it... if he wasn't like every other person on this forum that get's their 15 minutes of fame for claiming they are an "ex-employee" or "game tester" or "family member of someone who played it".

I doubt they would have anyone outside of Activision test it, or the VIP's of the CoD community. Anyone remember the "First Strike MP beta" they had for Activison and VIP's in the community before Black Ops Released

Why would they change tradition and let someone at a video game review company try it out? This guy's story is as bad as a 1990's Bollywood film. Maybe it would be a hollywood production with proof of his former position at IGN and proof that he somehow testes it at one point besides some story anyone who's seen the trailer could make up.

Um they've always let game reviewers play DLC maps early.

No.
Not tiny, but I wouldn't consider it a whole new map or anything. It's just a really big room.
Well yes, but there's not really any wide open areas to do it in, nothing like the stage from Kino of the PhD lander from Ascension.
No, there scattered all across the map.

What do the characters say when you spawn?

Do you die when you leave the base. or can someone revive you?


Fine.

No debris in this map, just doors like in Kino.

Well let's see um one I remember is Dempsey says, "A power switch... on the MOON? Wow. Just, wow." That's all I can think of right now.

They can revive you.

Its just hard to believe you when you waited until after the trailer was released to release this info. Now if you released your info before the trailer then I and many others could really believe you but it's just hard to.


Cause I was fired the day before the trailer came out and didn't get around to posting the leaked info till a few hours after the trailer was released. I had started typing it up before the trailer came out, so that's why a lot of stuff from the trailer was in the post. Once the trailer came out, I considered deleting the stuff that was already shown in it, but I decided to just leave it. But a lot of the stuff in the post was not revealed in the trailer, such as the name and effect of the new perk, what the Quantam Entanglement Device does, and what the Phasing Zombie is and does.
