Der Riese Zombie Map: release needed for Call of Duty WaW

Der Riese Zombie Map: release needed for Call of Duty WaW

By: Alan Ng | July 27, 2009 | 71 Comments

Looks like its perfect timing for Treyarch to unleash a brand new zombie map onto consoles next month. We’re not sure about you, but the latest one has started to get a bit boring recently, due to a number of reasons.

We’ve lost count on the amount of times we’ve had to restart our zombie session due to players blowing themselves up in the first round, in the hope that everyone ‘lets’ them glitch for the duration of the game. It gets even worse when they are screaming high frequencies down the mic asking people to not revive them.

With the news of ‘Der Riese’ on the way though as well as a title update, things look to be on the up for zombie fans. With the addition of a weapon upgrading Pack-A-Punch Machine and teleporters, its sure to add another twist to the game. Lets hope they keep the electric gun in too as that was a great addition to zombie mode.

    Wow, the infamous, “Stop reviving me i’m doing the glitch.” I really don’t enjoy games where the whole point of the game is thrown away because everyone wants to sit in the corner and shoot at 100 zombies standing there looking at you. What fun is that? I hope they patch these glitches. I also think the difficulty of killing zombies past round 20 is insane. The zombie count should increase but the damage of your weapon should remain the same. 3 clips of thompson to kill 1 zombie is not fun either. Hopefully this new map will be better!

  • Jack

    I think that in Der Riese, they should keep the WunderwaffeDG-2, Ray Gun, Perk-a-Cola Machines, Mystery Box, and the best of all: Dempsey, Nikolai, Takeo, and Richtofen.
    However, I think they should change some things, like the Zapper, (Trap) because it is very annoying to be running and then suddenly get electrocuted by your own teammate, but it does help against those pesky undead. Oh and before I forget, I have ideas of my own: The Tank. Yes, yes, I understand what your thinking, “That’s retarded, you’d be invincible” Well, no, because the tank’s wheels are gone, and a chunk of the tank is missing too, so the zombies can still get to you. It’s purpose is so on higher levels, the tank can cover a complete section, while the other 3 people cover the others. And 1 more thing, different types of zombies, I thought that those Hell Hounds were a neat idea, so they could make some zombies walk with flamethrowers still strapped to their backs, and if you shot those a few times: Ka-Boom! Thanks for listening to my ideas, and I hope that Treyarch keeps thinking of good games and updates!

  • calum

    i think the hell hounds are going to be back in the new map which has put me off buying it, beause they are the worst idea ever, its about zombies not bloody animal land, they are annoying, pointless and even with juggernog you get killed by them after one touch. get rid of the hell hounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Danny

    I dissagree with stopping the glitches as its become addictive and its almost like a completely different game which requires skill and determination we have played like this for weeks and dont get over level 35 so there is still room for more hard work. Old people that dont like game glitches need to go back to playing scrabble.

  • http://www.product-reviews.net/2009/07/27/der-riese-zombie-map-release-needed-for-call-of-duty-waw/ Jack

    I think the Jacks ideas are great!!!!!!

  • PHIL

    DANNY your a ***** moron. play the game as it is meant to be played. glitches are stupid. your saying theres more room for improvement cuz you cant make it past 35? well theres even more room for improvement for you if you DO NOT USE A GLITCH. plus people like you make the game awful because your so concerned with glitching where the other three players want to play normal. go play another game. Jack your ideas are awesome. keep em’ comin

  • http://productreviews.net zach

    I Love zombies so keep maps going BUT!!! do not change old weapons(except colts!),perks,power ups, and PLEASE hell hounds! hope they come out with a map pack 4

  • warthog92

    jack i completely agree with you, it would be sort of a good idea for zombies to have flamethrower tanks, then we could destroy more for one shot.

  • Trevor

    just you suck and dont know i to kill dogs doesnt mean u have to bitch about it .. i hate people like STOP COMPLAINING AND PLAY A DIFFERENT GAME

  • ryan

    all i think they should add is something to allow you to shut doors after you’ve opened them. that would be solid and more realistic

  • PkSkiillZzXx

    Well, I think that the whole idea of the hell hounds are for stopping glitches like the one on shi no numa.
    and for making it harder to get the achievements that come with the maps.
    The hell hounds are annoying but handy for treyarch,
    stopping glitches everywhere.. lol
    =D

  • PkSkiillZzXx

    Hell hounds are going to be in ‘Der Riese’ as are zappers.
    Hopefully treyarch have stopped ‘Can’t Stand Here’ glitches like the one on shi no numa and the several ones in ‘nacht der untoten’.
    Hopefully ray gun will be in there.
    New addition – Bowie knife – hopefully 1 knife kill all game.
    new addition – Pack-a-punch machine – no idea…
    I also think they should change the pistol to tokarev or nambu.

  • PkSkiillZzXx

    Just found out,
    several areas from certain maps are going to be in the new zombie maps, e.g- nightfire, stairs, big hole in wall near bridge where it goes to bomb b, in search and destroy ,
    Spiral staircase.
    =D – hope sub-pens gets to be in it =D

  • Alan Ng

    PkSkiillZzXx – Just read your comments, the Bowie knife will be one hit kills, and the ray gun is included too. You can see the pack-a-punch machine in the gameplay video here: http://www.product-reviews.net/2009/07/29/call-of-duty-world-at-war-der-riese-zombie-gameplay-video/

  • PkSkiillZzXx

    I think all of the characters are going to be there because in the youtube video, it says, ‘Hi i’m Dempsey, and you’re dead’

  • PkSkiillZzXx

    I think that there should be satchel charges or a perk machine which allows you to increase
    the power of your gun. – stopping power

  • PkSkiillZzXx

    are you replying Alan Ng

  • Jizm

    The hell hounds are awesome but i think they should be mixed in with the zombies not on their own round. always room for new weapons, chainsaw would be fun! i think they should include the normal perks like air strike and friendly dogs for emergency situations lol

  • Andrew

    Glitches are for people who suck to much to play the game and have to find an easier way for people to think they are good. Keep glitching and I’ll keep being better than you. And by the way scrabble is pretty fun fag.

  • mole

    i woz thinkin the same thing your ideas are sweet

  • Jack

    Hello Nazi Zombie fans! I’m back! I have read numerous articles about glitches and Hell Hounds and extra stuff, and I thought that I would like to share my ideas with you again.
    First off some news: The new things in Der Riese are the Teleporters, the Pack-A-Punch Machine, it upgrades your weapon in some way, and the Bowie knife, which is a one hit kill knife up to higher levels around 16, then it will be a 2 hit kill, a few levels later a 3 hit kill and so on. Some returning things are the Mystery Box, Ray Gun, the 4 characters (Dempsey, Nikolai, Takeo, and Richtofen) and yes, the Hell Hounds. The Hell Hounds will now spawn randomly around the whole map and have minds of their own, instead of just rushing you.
    Now I’ve read things about glitches being good or bad, and what I have to say, is this: glitches are called glitches because they are mistakes in the game that just happen, and I understand people that play and find a neat glitch, I have no problem with that. The problem is that people will use that glitch and think that they are better than other people, sorry, you’re not.
    Moving on, I have 3 new ideas for the next zombie map (if one comes out) the first is an attachment to the broken tank I described earlier, it is a mounted machine gun on the tank, however, it costs money to turn it on, and it occasionally jams. The next is a trap like the all famous Zapper: the Burner, (or scorcher, or roaster, I can’t decide) It is 4 mounted flame throwers on the side of a doorway (2 on each side) and I’m guessing that you can figure out how it works. The next is an adjustment to the previously mentioned Zapper, while playing Shi No Numa, I noticed that if a teammate shot me with the Wunderwaffe DG-2, I would slow down and my screen would become shocked. So I thought that instead of knocking you down if went through the Zapper, your screen would do the same thing as the Wunderwaffe DG-2.
    Thanks for reading my ideas, I’ll return with more eventualy!
    Oh and before I forget, I would love to see what you guys have come up with, whether it’s something new or an adjustment to a previous factor, I’ll be waiting! But until then, farewell my fellow zombie killers!

  • Kyle

    Jack..you got some killer ideas. that tank idea is ***** sweet! And i just read your last post and in shi no numa you can get thru the electric barrier, as well as in verrukt. you have to have juggernog and sprint straight through the barrier. dont try to jump cause your head will clip the ceiling and you’ll go down..trust me. but you must have juggernog and it does effect the screen just like the wunderwaffe. just figured id let you know cuz that can be handy if you have to run outside to get a dropped icon.
    also, glitches are for bitches. anyone can glitch and its been proven by the amount of 10 year old kids who do it. me and my squad hate that **** and we also proved you dont need to do it to rock the game. my boy got to level 43 by himself using the wunderwaffe, browning and the flogger. once you pass i beleive level 15 on solo, the same number of zombies come ever round they just get harder, but the wunderwaffe with take out a mob of 30 to 40 zombies easy with one shot. ive witnessed this go down so there you have it. anyone who wants to **** up some zombies and play with a real squad lemme know my gamertag is TheDonOfNJ. later

  • billyrooter

    F#@$ing right thay need to take all the glichis out extept the multy gun glich its boler having mor then i gun if eny whon whont to play a glich free game hit me up

    Xbox live game tage is billyrooter

  • jordan ziesmer

    same here i hate glictis there doumb and boring like OMG im having so much fun shooting zombies that just look at you

  • PkSkiillZzXx

    The browning in the ‘Der Riese’ video looks well cool, it’s got patterns and everything, i wonder what would happen if you put flamethrower in there, or kar98k…. it’s going to be awesome xD =D

  • warthog92

    Again Jack i applaud your ideas man, just like kyle i think the tank idea is effing sweet!!! Although i have some of my own also. It would be a great idea to have something like a nuke gun, with about 5 shots just for backup if u are out in everything and theres a trail of zombies behind you. Oh and almost forgot, it should not hurt u at all lke the ray gun, and occasionally the wunderwaffle DG-2.

  • http://www.gmail.com Donky Kong

    possibly put different zombie types along with some that have weopons strapped to them so when u kill them they drop that weopon but give that particular zombie more health. also juggernot and speed zombies would shake things up a bit. also zombie kids and babie zombies. give some zombies machetes or axes.

  • BLake

    obviosly alot of people hate gliches i hate them too but ill admit its really fun to get to round 45 and btw even though they have dogs the dogs are easier to glitch then the people. oooo and the hannging man in the main room is a deutche.

  • Psn: SuprMan32

    Of course they’re keeping the dg-2, it’s in the wallpaper

  • lee

    i think jack has well good ideas welldone
    an when dus it come out this game it nt on ps3 yet :S ?

  • GSTARJAKEY

    I think you should be able to get smoke and flares to confuse the zombies when ur in a bit a trouble also the zombies should have like a boss thing everynow and then to twist it also a new gun like a mg42 with a flamethrower attached underneth or a stg44 with a chainsaw attached!!!

  • m0ney$h0t

    lol i was just thinking…whats gunna happen when you put the raygun or dg intop the oacka punch machines? shits guna be sweeeeet

  • Finchy911

    I agree, i hate glitches and i cannot wait to see this new map in action :D

  • josh

    JACK NICE IDEAS I THINK THE TANK SHOULD BE MADE WERE YOU CAN Pay 4 it 4 A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME AND I ALSO THINKE THE SNIPER TOWER ON OUTSKIRTS SHOULD BE IN DER RIESE and i think the brige out of castle is in der riese

  • JC

    No because then you could just go into a room, close all the doors and it would be too easy. But maybe they could make it so that you can board up doors like you can with windows.

  • Keith

    Hi I dont know If anyone has mentioned this yet but I was thinking, maybe, there should be areas where sandbags, or barriers of some sort, could be set up (similar to the fasion in which windows are except this would cost points) that would slow zombies down for the short period in which they are climbing over it. It wouldn’t be a huge advantage so the map would still prove to be challenging but just something to think about. As for glitches; I dont particularly care as I only really play split screen with my friends. (cant handle whiney kids bitching at me to do what they want cus it’s the “Best” way)

  • Jack

    Hello my not-so-friendly/friendly zombie killers! I have yet more news, more ideas, and thoughts on your previously posted ideas!

    First off, some news: The infamous Wunderwaffe DG-2 will return. The Pack-a-Punch machine will accept the weapon you are holding, and upgrade it in some way, and while doing so it will engrave symbols on so you can tell what weapons are “Packed.” Also I’m still trying to figure out if there will be Perk-a-Cola machines, so don’t give up hope!

    Now some thoughts on your ideas:
    PkSkiillZzXx, July 29, 2009 at 1:16 pm
    I’m surprised that you are the first one to mention Claymores, way to go! I completely agree with you.

    warthog92, July 31, 2009 at 1:24 am
    I think your Nuke Gun idea is cool! But I have to ask, and please reply, will the gun, every time you shoot it, make the sound, “Ka-Boom” like it does when you pick up a nuke?

    Keith, August 1, 2009 at 11:18 pm
    I like your sandbag idea, it’s pretty neat! Also I appreciate how you mentioned that it will give you only a small advantage, and keep the level challenging.

    Now it’s time for my ideas, first off:
    The Trader. In all of the dark and evil zombie infested factory, there is one zombie who still has a human soul, he is known as the Trader. What he enables you to do, is sell your weapons to him for money, but if one of your teammates wants that weapon, he can buy it from the Trader, because the Trader has a store room that he keeps everything he gets in it, so if you sell something and later require it, you can sell a weapon and buy it back.

    Next is a new special weapon:
    The Shrapnel Gun. As it is named, it shoots and sprays shrapnel, which after firing, ricochets of off the walls a few times, and then settling back down on the ground. However, it can only shoot twice before necessary to reload, but it occasionally shoots more shrapnel than usual.

    Thanks for reading my post, I am looking forward to seeing your ideas, and seeing you on the battlefield!

  • Jack

    Sorry people but I made 2 mistakes, with the Ricochet Gun it is meant to be “…and then settles back down on the ground…” and when I mentioned PkSkiillZzXx’s idea, I meant to say satchel charges, not claymores, oops.
    I’ll be more careful next time! ;)

  • BUDWEISER

    STFU phil. Danny is right, it gets somewhat dumb when you cant get passed level 25. Glitches give you the opportunity to get to a higher level and be known for it.

  • BUDWEISER

    Dude that GENIOUS. that would make it hella more fun

  • Rasheed

    I got to level 57 solo in shi no numa without glitching once!

  • pyro

    thats a lie…

  • skilz

    i think the closing the doors idea is awesome, but make it so that the zombies can break them down. in the game left 4 dead (another zombie game) players are able to close doors after they enter them but a horde of zombies (or even one) after a few moments breaks bits off the door and are soon able to climb through. I think this idea would help a lot in those tricky situations.

  • roveshep

    not neccessarily a lie, I got to 48 solo without glitching, you can check my name on the leaderboards. People who can’t get ‘past level 25′ without glitching are just gash at killing zombies, sorry.

  • http://produtreviewa.net Joshua

    dud ALL OF THE NAZI ZOMBIES GAMES ARE FUN WITH OR WITHOUT GLITCHES!the idea of dogs were cool and the perks are amazing bringing them into nazi zombies was genious.and the question were al getting to to is yes i beleive even after cod mw2 comes out people would still be buying more map packs for cod WaW.why cause its fun and espercially if you keep making them bigger and bertter.and you know the one glitch in verruckt where u can get outside well if a nazi zombies game were like that that would be effin amazing!

  • http://produtreviewa.net Davis

    dud i completely agree with you.the game is fun with or without the glitches. and even if map pack 7 comes i would definitley buy it.the map packs are just like another game.they keep getting better and better.and one thing on one of the map packs if you plan on going for more after map pack 3 you should have and update that allows to go over lvl 65 and new guns should be able to be downloaded kinda like warhawk ya know.
    nazi zombies is amazing!keep making more!

  • warthog92

    Jack my nuke gun would make the same sound as the nuke, but even bigger and better, and in a different voice, i mean the old voice is good and all but it has had the same sound for the last 2 zombies, it should be scarier and more surprising.

  • Chillman

    lol, Lancer in zombies? That would sure shake things up. Although they are putting in a new wicked looking knife that is supposed to be a one-hit kill until like round 15 or 16. Sounds pretty awesome.

  • Jack

    Hello my fellow, ah you know…. I fear that this will be the last time I report to all of you, but I have some good news.

    A while ago a started to think that there should be more ideas floating around, and not just these arguments about glitches and dogs. So I finally decided to bring up a beginning version of my very own website!
    And now that website is up and running, sadly I am the only one who goes on it and today I am going to reveal to you what the URL is. But first, back to zombies. ;)

    News: Perks-a-Cola machines will return! Huzzah! Hell-Hounds will spawn with zombies, and whenever the clock tower strikes, the vicious dogs will arrive. It is possible that this is the last official zombie map, but do not fret! For I have some thing to tell you.
    You may have noticed small radios all around Shi No Numa, and yes you can activate them, but some of them hint at an entire new game, that is only Nazi Zombies! It is questionable whether this is true, but so far I believe it.

    And now I bid thee farewell, or as they say nowadays,
    c u l8r. And here is my website URL:

    http://jack-rivet.webs.com/

    Hope to see you there!

  • Kevin

    u guys just suck hellhounds are cool they are hard sure but it brings a new challenge to the table from just killing zombs and glitching if someone wants to glitch who gives leave and find someone who doesnt glitch i also heard in this map there will be no hellhound rounds the dogs will pop out randomly while u r killing some zombies

  • Kevin

    i just joined ur website ull find im the only member u have there

  • http://www.fu2.co.uk DiRtY-mAn

    Glitching is for spasmos, the whole point (and theres nothing more annoying than some people getting to level 2000+ (SAD INNIT.) why cant you prove how good you are at tactics and surviving the zombie hoards, thats the point aint it rather than just sitting in a corner and killing laods of zomies….MORONS do that, skillful players try and SURVIVE……..PS rocks and trayarch are brill cant wait for der riese looks friggin awesome..zombies gonna getchya…………

  • quinn

    i hope that the new one will be cool. i cant wait to slay some zombies with the new knife along with the new pistol =] and i am gonna upgrade the hell out of my guns haha. and since people are posting some of their ideas i thought i would get mine out there. i think it would be pretty savage to be able to pick your character. like if i picked the american i could take one more hit from a zombie befor getting “downed” or for jap the rifles he uses have bayonets or the German got one extra grenade or something like that. while character customization is kind of leaning toward a stand alone game i was thinking that they could devote a map pack just to zombies to add an extra map and to update the other maps and make it possible to choose class and uniform. well that is just my thoughts. hope someone agrees with me lol.

  • weeberz

    i agree with kyle, u have some awesome ideas. but the scorcher thing u said, thats just brilliant. ii think it would be cool if you could turn on an electic barrier, or that.
    this one is my idea, i think it would be cool to lay own like spikes, so that if zombies run over them, they can become legless, or die. i also think it would be cool to be able to upgrade the barriers so that they have more boards, or that it takes longer for zombies to break them down
    and for u glitchers, my brother loves to do glitches, but only cuz he can barley get past round 15 on shi no numa. he sucks. just to tell u how much he sux, i can easily get to round 35 on shi no numa by myself. sumtimes i turn on another person so that i can have more zombies at once, but su,other guy that dusnt play. if i play co-op with my brother, i rarley get past round 15
    he sux that bad. so he has to use glitches, to achive anything

  • colton wright

    ya new zombies sound great and maybe some that comand others for flanking u and if u kill them the others r lost and confused and sometimes kill each other and a perk could be calling in an airstrike

  • eric

    I think you should be able to call artillery strikes on zombies. you should also be able to call in at a certain zombie killing streak SWAT teams or maybe just dogs played by A.I. th at helps you kill zombies

  • nazizombie

    how about dynamite strapped to certain zombies so when u shoot them they blow up all the zombies around them

  • Anthony

    pathetic ideas left and right. First, the dread the game incorporates come from trying to make a completely fictional catastrophe solvable by realistic tools. in other words, using conventional weapons against superhumans (zombies w.e.) so that chainsaw or flamethrower on a machine gun is f**kin retarded, keep playing gears of war. second glitches are pathetic, ur basically trying to justify cheating. define cheating and you’ll see how stupid your argument is. Nazi zombies isnt meant to be beaten, just endured, so stop trying to beat a never ending game. and no, no weapons on zombies, there dumb dumb creatures that are very hungry and the real struggle is the understanding that your not leaving alive, even against stupid enemies.MY SUGGESTIONS? umm a variety of bosses that come at different times, a storyline that ties all zombie maps together, turrets, and better accesibility to different areas of the map for example rooftops and fire escapes.

  • Ramirogro

    I got to round 42 without glitching. And I only died because I got careless while trying to get an achievement. If you still aren’t convinced, check out a guy named Vandz on youtube who made it past round 2000 on shi no numa without glitching

  • http://www.product-reviews.net/2009/07/27/der-riese-zombie-map-release-needed-for-call-of-duty-waw/ spindle

    My buddy is Ace at zombies. Round 160+ on shi no numa. No glitch other than 3rd gun. I’ve seen him do round 68 so I beleve him. Done by using flogger and electricity and lots of running and of course wondawoffa. His best so far on Der Riese is 32 and runs out of ammo. Can’t figure 3rd gun yet, pain. I’d give ya his tag only he gets enough people asking him to play with them…

  • Edwrrrrrrd

    I agree with the board up doors thing ,that would be cool. And also they should make the zombies easier to kiil , round 1 is like one shot with
    A tommy and they are dead , but round 40 is seriously Gaaaaaaayyyyyy !

  • Edd

    They should make MegaMapPack !!! You can go to all the different maps … in a HoverTank!! AwesomeSauce

  • Edwarrd

    Guys… um … Who ever actually reads this blog , i think i am the first to find an easter egg / Secret … Thingy. In the ‘ Furnace Room 1st Floor’ there is a furnace with an open door, I was just messin about and seeing if i could get my zombies Cooked in it … so i threw the Monkey Bomb in it and then it started to dance around , but in a Freaky way. And when it finally exploded a voice over of a Evil Clown came on Saying something like… ‘ All i wanted was to Playyee… But you KIALLLEDD MEEEY … ( Freakishly Exorcist like Scream)’. I looked it up on Google and Youtube and most other Search Engines , but nothing came up at all!! Try It

  • Helmet098

    Hell hounds stop nothing! NOTHING!!!!!!!! hahahahahahahahahaha

  • 2zombies1cup

    dude, that’s EXACTLY wat Jack was talking about with the flamethrower zoms, and it makes sense cause some nazis did have flamethrowers strapped to them, so y would they not still have them on?

  • 2zombies1cup

    oh, dude, u found the flytrap!!!! or part of it, i guess. ok, here’s wat u gotta do, upgrade a wep in the Pack a punch and then look for a small glowin control panel thingy, its hard to see and its on the edge outside of the map somewhere. then shoot it with ur wep and a big ufo thing will rise out of the ground, except its made of lights. then look around the map for teddy bears and shoot them with ur upgraded wep with b4. here is wat U did, before startin the hide n seek teddy game, u found a teddy in the furnace and placed a monky bomb inside, thus killing the bear, so….yeah….do this so called “flytrap” and ….have fun? lol?

  • chris

    haha yeah (i will admit i used some glitches on shi no numa) but glitches are pointless..lmao that was funny “oh and by the way, scrabble is pretty fun fag” haha

  • Alex

    Treyarch NEEDS to make it so players can swap weapons with a teammate in a new version of nazi zombies. Just make a machine that has two slots one player puts his gun on one side and the other player on the other side and it could say something like hold X to swap weapons. Thats my dream. And more than one player should be able to get the wunder waffe

  • Maarek

    the PC version has NO glitches. Plus the game is more challenging with mouse look rather than using a controller.

  • gaybosf

    This “fag” can wipe the floor with you, so watch your mouth. Other than that, I agree in general that glitches should at least post scores to a different leaderboard…and not be a constant drag on everyone who doesn’t want or need to glitch. They should go to the same hell as point stealers….hate those guys.

  • Trogdor!!

    they should have a boss zombie every few levels or so and more zombies like assassin zombies that have the ability to disapear for a couple seconds and a new breed civilian zombies because no zombie are going to go for just soldiers
