23. West Coast Option (Full Cast Science Fiction Comedy Series) A psychedelic football story presented by Third Eye Sockeye.

\*Note that some of these things have been confirmed to be coming in the next update, or have already released**.*
\*This list is of course more idealistic than realistic. Hopefully some of this could come in the near future.*\**
Chronicles:
The first 8 maps could see a return, as they were made from the BO4 engine.
Chronicles 2.0, the other 8 maps not yet remastered.
Here's what could be improved and added to Chronicles:
- Chronicles 2 runs on the next Treyarch game's engine for fluidity and possible assets if a blackout 2.0 was next.
- A twist on existing side and main EE's for hunts. This would make sense of alteration due to Monty's fracture.
- New and returning character quotes.
-Returning perks, which will be placed on their respective maps. These won't be available for you to equip in your loadout, such as quick revive and stamina-up, so you'd have to compensate and adjust your four. This would give you the pre-set perks, as well as your four on all Chronicles maps though!
-OG wall weapons all set in their locations, as well as some OG box weapons.
-Reintroduce some cut content that was canned due to time restraints or unidentifiable implementation.
-WAW grenades as deafult instead of frag.
Weapon Customization:
-Blackmarket tiers.
-Authenticity stamps.
-Dark matter, signature weapons, loot weapons, mastercrafts.
-Bounties: These would appear in-game, where every map has a challenge esq. board like IX and ZNS with different challenges. This would be on the side for unlocks though, and not required, like gauntlet.
-Operations from MP. (Absolute zero, etc.)
-Better character customization.
Prestige Ranks:
-The ability to give your bots in both mutations and split screen games some AI progression in skillpoint smartness.
A callout wheel for online/offline play with quotes and emote gestures (This is like being a general rank in combat),
Animated calling cards.
Talismans/elixirs.
Weapon bribes, that will grant attachments to weapons that currently don't have them enabled.
The ability to swap wall weapons by location and different ones entirely.
All mastercrafts, loot weapons, and signature weapons tied to this. (excluding dark matter camos)
Factions: (***Here are the different potential models to the upcoming factions system***)
-Grants you a MOBA class depending on the size of your character, and the faction you've joined.
-You pledge to a faction and then earn points towards rewards.
-Factions for a Grief mode successor?
-Maybe there are different characters that you work for, and there are side quests and EE's that are unlocked as "trials" that can be done for them once you have chosen your side in every map.
-Divided community challenges by three different groups based off the factions already announced by Treyarch.
-Mission teams from IW.
Easter Egg Rewards:
Remix Maps: Remix maps are altered versions of the OG map in a fractured timeline, such as the zombies chronicles maps are to their respective originals. Or, think of these as multiplayer remasters that are rethemed from their original state in one game to another. (Like Firing Range in BO1 to Studio in BO2.) These maps, however, are rethemed to a different tone, skin, and overall cosmetic structure. For example, Verruckt would be a prison in another universe. Some minor changes to wall weapons may be done, and special rounds would be changed up, as well as some new character quotes and default customization, but for the most part, the map is just visually different in textures and tone.
Playable Characters: (Like in IW and WW2) Once an EE is beaten, you can put any character on that map. This makes sense to the lore, since in a fractured dimension, any character could be anywhere, and there are different universes too, with multiple different iterations of every character, hense the blood vials used for the prior attempts at breaking the cycle.
-Super EE: When you beat the main Easter Egg on all the Aether and Caos maps.
-An in-map reward, like the katana from Shaolin Shuffle. Or, a playable area.
-A Hint or Clue to the Next Map’s Era, Theme, Lore, Environments, Weapons, Tone, Or Location.
-A prologue, which is a little playable teaser of what's to come in the journey onward into the next map, is played out right after the main quest has been beaten. Think of these as both the WW2 zombies prologue to Grostein House, as well as the Riot teaser in Exo zombies. These prologues model WW2 in tone, gore, and realism, with a dark bitter aesthetic contrast of Riot’s zombies sequence. The epilogue is the intro cut scene, which is the motives in story line fashion of why and how our characters got to the next map. The outro is just the outcomes from the Easter Egg to our crew, and the story line bits from the lore of the map playing out.
Modes:
-Boss fight mode like IW.
-The Tortured Path style of challenges, but rather, act as more of a "quest" and utilizing more of the map to seek answers. This could serve as a side story. Maybe, this mode would have you play what was the unplayable portions of every map, and you would do tasks asked of you, like in the Tortured Path. The three strike rule would serve the same purpose from Gauntlet as it would in this mode. Once the steps have been done successfully, you would transition in real time onto the next portion of the map.
-A Grief mode with all new characters. These would serve as the Blackout of zombies, with half sized battle royale maps, like Tranzit, in a 4v4 survival. Combine some rush principles and you have a score attack survival for the fittest game mode. You can construct your own bases called "Safehouses", which inhibits a more open world survival horror aspect, as well as loot other areas, zombies, and even invade safehouses in raids. PVE Destiny style elements will be incorporated. There are levolution scripted events, destructible environments, and construction like you've never seen before. It would also be pretty unique if there were MOBA style classes for your teammates determined off character factions, sizes, and height. The maps would be different, preferably either MP maps, (which is the opposite of Blackout where there's mostly zombies maps,) or completely new maps created by the development team as well as chosen community cartographers using mod tools. Every game starts off where you'll have to scavenge the map for weapons and loot. Be able to craft a ton of different tools and weapons.
Easter Egg Steps:
I would love to see a similar EE step to the one done in WW2 on Thule, where you had to pick up a cipher paper and then solve it to open up a secret area guarded by a tomb.
Another cool thing that WW2 did was implement cipher digits that were hidden among interviews, presentations, and trailers, that were then translated to encrypted messages when typed in on their website pre-launch. This could be another cool way Treyarch could use Ciphers to convey hidden meanings and messages that will freshen up our encryption without them having to be in-map. Frame by framing trailers, playing I-spy on objects around a studio room when Blundell is doing Q and A's, etc. Maybe their website to uncover these codes could be the terminal, on BO3, or BO1?
I would love to see Treyarch utilize real time cut scenes more often. It worked so well in Der Eisendrache.
I like Easter Egg steps that take general knowledge or a sharp attention to detail in order to complete. The first step in the Revelations Easter Egg was great because anyone could solve it if they had paid attention to the order of souls collected. Most steps nowadays are very nonsensical and you would need a guide online, or even a reference to your favorite zombie YouTuber in order to solve.
Attention To Detail Crafting Part Locations That Doesn’t Require Youtube Tutorial, Like The Shield Part Location When Takeo Slammed The Door Off Its Hinges In The Intro Cutscene On BOTD.
Miscellaneous:
-Zombies Crates: YOU CANNOT BUY THESE! These are only earn-able through ranking up, prestiging, earning a weapon level, completing bounties and daily tiers, and unlocking camos. Zombie crates contain exclusive loot not available in multiplayer, (since MP always gets all of the love), and can be redeemed through opening up in-map outside, with the care package animation of WW2. We need something else in zombies to earn towards other than just ranks, weapon levels, XP, camos, and divinium.
​
Zombie Crate Goodies:
-Vapors. (Secret Sauce of customization, where a random outfit is given based off of the theme and tone of the map you’re playing on. The vapor hallucination begins once you drink it in-game.)
-Black market weapons.
-Black jack market. This is where you can either barter an unlocked item in exchange for another, or completely earn zombie crate loot without relying on RNG. This is through a series of commendations. Think of Halo 3 armor type of achievements. The black jack is Corvus from the frozen forest in BO3. The black jack also has an assortment of dark ops rewards, and mastercrafts/signature weapons, EXCLUSIVE to zombies, that change in weeks and months time.
-Playable characters. You can unlock more playable characters in zombie crates. However, these are celebrity ones, like with the Dead of the Night crew, unlike unlocking lore characters, such as Gersch, when completing the main and alternate Easter Eggs.
-Skins and cosmetics.
-Calling cards and emblems.
-Weapon variants EXCLUSIVE to zombies.
-Weapon kits. Weapon kits are expanded variations of the armory system here in BO4. More attachments, a wider operator mod selection, etc.
-Callout wheel quotes and emote gestures.
-Weapons with armory availability to put on attachments.
-Blueprints. Blueprints are placed upon a workbench, and they serve as a cheat sheet for players that don’t know where part locations are. In addition, blueprints give further modifications to existing craftables, which triggers new parts that spawn.
-Starting weapons.
-When an Easter Egg is beaten, celebrity characters can be played on more maps, with their roles being recast and outfits altered with new quotes.
​
Duplicates can be bartered for plasma, crypto keys, which is the currency of opening crates, and crafting parts for Grief. A zombie crate is hidden very well every time you play a zombies map, with a key to open the crate stowed away in solation. This is like the skulls in Halo.
​
-Newton's Cookbook equivalent, but with elixir fusion this time.
-Pack-A-Punch fusion.
-An "ultimate" upgrade to Pack-A-Punch, like the alien fuses in IW. Perhaps, the canned power cells from Shangri-la?
-Afterlife Missions: This replaces the "Nightmares" Campaign and fills in the waiting period in-between bleeding out and coming back into the game. Completing missions will put you back into the game potentially earlier than a round ending respawn would. These "missions" serve as cannon cut scenes and real time cinematic, like the kino teleportation rooms, and DE cut scene. When you bleed out, you will be redirected to either the Forest or the House, depending on your storyline. (Caos or Aether) Once you're there, you will be able to free roam throughout the area and select a mission to play chronologically. The levels you can play differ from each map from the context and lore of it. For example, if you are playing ZNS, then you would get more missions revolving around Divison 9 and Takeo's imprisonment. This seems to serve as a seamless transitional Campaign for hardcore zombie fans that want more than just ciphers and intro/outro EE cut scenes. If you don't want to be redirected, than you can choose to spectate off of a prompt when you bleed out. The cannon of these missions is the flashback purgatory that your characters endear after their bleedout, similar to an afterlife state in MOTD, hence the name, "Nightmares". The inspiration is the terrible "campaign" that Nightmares was in BO3 mixed in with the Afterlife Arcade from IW. It would be very unique to incorporate elements from "Nightmare" missions and bring them back to the reality scope of the map you're playing on, such as the film reels on Kino when teleporting from the past to the present.
-A Dead Ops Arcade machine that could spawn on Caos themed maps, and is the alternative to Ghost N Skulls from IW. This would be a refreshing way to implement Dead Ops back into zombies, and there could be steps to get the machine turned on and everyone into the game like with Ghost N Skulls. Every Dead Ops variation would have a theme to it based off the map the machine is on, and you'd have to beat 10 progressively hard levels, with a special round after round 5, and a boss fight. An armory is given after the special round to suit up. The reward could be a perkaholic with four permanent perks that are to the left of your chosen four and others even if you go down and bleed out. Another reward could be crypto currency that could be used to replay and purchase customization and loot in Dead Ops. Maybe once all of the machines have been successfully solved and completed, then you would unlock the full version of Dead Ops 3.
​
Zombies Operations: These are the once in every three months holiday for zombies as they are right now for Blackout and MP. Basically a seasonal event, with new things added to maps, modes, and the menu. The biggest thing about an operation is the theme that it is associated from. This is the gimmick to the birthday party, as everything is rebranded off of this one thing, just as in Blackout. The coolest part about an Operation is the annual manhunt to the maps, which is a full Super Easter Egg Hunt skinned into a zombies Campaign, with theme oriented quests of objectives. Maps we currently have will be slightly altered to give a sense of a Campaign leveled map flow, like in the catwalk run sequence in BOTD to navigating the corridors of the prison. Think of the tortured path meets revelations style of nostalgia and map traversing. Some maps will have steps that are correlated to one another's objective, while others will be independent. There are also bits from MP restructured into a zombies aesthetic, returning the favor to what Blackout is doing with zombies.
​
Operation rewards:
Dead Ops Arcade machines, alien fuses esq. "ultimate" pack upgrade, pack a punch fusion, Northwoods bonus map, etc.
​
Operation Themes:
-Only the cursed survive
-Salvation lies above
-Dr. Salim, Corvus, and the frozen forest
​
Next Map Hints/Clues in both a post endgame and EE completion:
A Detail In Zombie Attire or Character Cosmetics, Such As Stulinger’s Kronorium Satchel, An Afterlife Memories Vision of a hint, Elephant Sound From Call Of The Dead or Die Rise Sound Que Hint, An Outro Game Over Animation, Like The Forest From BO3, A Real Time Cut scene Like The Nuketown IW EE, Attack's Outro, Hint Art From Odyssey That Directs An Item On The Next Map Relating To The Tone Or Theme, Cipher Riddle or Audio Quote Riddle Like In The Prisoner Side quest on IX. A Nuketown Esq. Visual Ending. Dr Salim Theater Radio-Theater Tape Teaser. Once The EE is Beaten, You Can Find A Tape To The Last Missing Projector, Where The First Half Of The Film Can Be Played. The Second Half Of The Film Can Be Played WHen You Revisit The Theater Clip Of That Same Game, Free Roaming Into The Projector Roam After The First Half Is Replayed To You.
Memories Trailers are the the reveal in narrative context of new Afterlife missions, as our characters flash back to sequences of past and future moments in our timeline, and recollect in the house and the forest.
The music video of a zombies map is released a month after it drops on Playstation, and it shows lapses of re-visioning of what players did when solving the main Easter Egg in cinematic animation, as well as little increments of an alternate Easter Egg which can be done once the main quest has been solved.
