Almost as good of a post as mine

yeah almost is hahaha lol

timer_hand playsound( "zmb_perks_packa_ready" );

This here is just a sound being played, if you look at this line timer_hand playsound. Its just a sound being played, I've coded in vb, c++, python and java.

dude this had to take for ever

Very nice post!
we can all see this took you an awful long time and we appreciate it.

keep up the good work and im sure you'll crack it soon!

Some good theories here, a lot of effort has gone into them.

Gersh is the guy who created the black hole device, as someone has said earlier, according to one of the radio messages. It sounded like he got trapped inside one by Samantha, or something like that. He is obviously the guy you have to free, according to the code.

I'd like to know what happens when you collect these letters rather than LUNA. It looks like something is supposed to happen, no idea what though because level.secret1 & 2 seem to end after that...

level.secret1 = array( "h", "i", "t", "s", "a", "m" );
level.secret1_progress = 0;
level.secret2 = array( "h", "y", "e", "n", "a" );
level.secret2_progress = 0;


if ( letter == level.secret1[ level.secret1_progress ] )
{
level.secret1_progress++;
if ( level.secret1_progress == level.secret1.size )
{
}
}
else
{
level.secret1_progress = 0;
}
if ( letter == level.secret2[ level.secret2_progress ] )
{
level.secret2_progress++;
if ( level.secret2_progress == level.secret2.size )
{
}
}
else
{
level.secret2_progress = 0;

There is no flagset after the secret1 & 2, does that mean they go nowhere, or that Treyarch can edit the code later on and put it in there? Somebody who knows more about coding than me could tell us...

I think that's about as much extra stuff as we'll get. I'm pretty sure there's nothing else after you get the death machines.


Where did this code come from anyway? Did Treyarch release it to the public to get us even more frustrated?

No, you can just pull raw code from the game by putting it on your computer and such, little coding knowledge helps but is not needed

My view, end of secret... for now!

I reckon the secret will carry over or link to a new secret on the new zombie map that will be released with map pack 2.

I think the man will re-appear or maybe even show in the next map.

This post is BOSS, but I think I may be able to help with what the death machines are normally called. Go to the pc files for black ops, go to zombies coding, and look at what it's called for five or kino. If it's the same as the one in ascension coding, we know that there is nothing special about the death machine, if it's different, then there probably is something to do about the DM. But seriously, this is probably the post that has made the most sense in the regards of zombie ascension theories. You're using actual facts to prove your answers and I like that ;). I mean, those letters under the orb and the letter in the terminal pretty much convinced me that there may be something more than what meets the eye. ;)

justaRiOT wrote It says curran. Now at first It didnt strike me until me and my associate (GT- Itachi1124) Followed up on a video pertaining to :code name: "QUARANTAINE" on firing range. we decided to hit it up and see for ourselves. The sign that say Gateway To Hell has more info on it. When reading the sign, nothing seemed to spark until Itachi pointed out that the guys name was Mike Curran, the same name was on the aformentioned book on nuketown. The battalion, and Group he was supposedly part of actually existed, the only thing is, they were not assigned to cuba during this era.

This image is the one referring to the aforementioned Mike Curran and Quarantaine.


In the first post you missed one of Oppenheimer's files

WENT DOWN TO THE LAKE

STUMBLED UPON A SECRET

WILL NOT SLEEP AGAIN

This has lead me to a theory that the water around Firing Range is not actually an ocean but could potentially be a lake of sorts and Quarantaine will be the next map. Thinking along these lines that the story will continue and not all secrets will be revealed, Samantha is likely to be on the moon where Element 115 is known to be found, potentially leaving the moon as the map following Quarantaine. Also knowing that there is a pawprint on the moon in Ascension, Samantha could be on the moon with Fluffy. Or the pawprint could just signify that Winter's Howl is around somewhere.

Also referencing the gun in one hand that Oppenheimer speaks of, this could pertain to any one of five weapons: M1911; the single CZ, the Ray Gun, Python, or the Winter's Howl; possibly still plenty of hope for the Howl yet.

This is the code from five:

include_powerups()
{
include_powerup( "nuke" );
include_powerup( "insta_kill" );
include_powerup( "double_points" );
include_powerup( "full_ammo" );
include_powerup( "carpenter" );
include_powerup( "fire_sale" );
include_powerup( "bonfire_sale" );

// minigun
PreCacheItem( "minigun_zm" );

include_powerup( "minigun" );
}

They use "minigun" as the name for it, so sorry the minigun is no different than a normal powerup
