(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So, as with any new map, I play solo to get a feel of the map and try to get to know the layout of it before I die. What I wasn't expecting was to get to round 27, Easter egg done, all doors unlocked, pack a punched weapons (including the acid gat, forget the name of it's pack a punched name, but good looking design,) and some good rape train locations.

The afterlife wasn't as good as I was hoping, just replacing quick revive and obviously used to open up other areas (wasn't really necessary,) but I guess they want to throw new ideas out and see what sticks.

When I went down around round 22, I got all my perks, but this time replaced deadshot with electric cherry, I assume because of the high rounds, it wasn't very effective. But I'm glad Deadshot is back in it, I found it really useful.

I was impressed by some of the new weapons, particularly the AK47, Meat Grinder (or glorified sex toy as one person in my lobby pointed out,) and the blunder gat.

After playing a public match, we found the hell's retriever, it covers alot of zombies, I also noticed you can "charge" it by holding down LB. A red ring will flash about you once, you can hold it down longer and a 2nd ring appears, didn't have any other rings afterwards (maybe there's more if you hold it even longer?) seems to be a good ammo saver.

And the boss zombies, I found with a pack a punched AK47 and Deadshot, you take off their helmet really easily then you'll easily headshot them straight after.

I dunno if there's a connection between nuketown and Alcatraz yet, since what you hear on the golden gate bridge, and hopefully there is a proper Easter egg to discover other than build the plane and "escape", even if you don't get achievment/trophey for it, I just wanna know what (if any), connection there is between current zombie storyline and this one.

Also good use of Johnny Cash, felt it really fitted in well with the theme and feel of the level, if anyone is on Xbox and wants to do some rounds, just msg me, gamer tag is the same name as my account here. Smile

You do know that the hole easter egg isn't just building the plane and flying it over to the golden gate bridge, there is much more to it.

Yeah, I figured as much, I was referring to the fact that you get 75G for getting off the island, as I said at the end, I hope there is something more to the Easter egg, the fact that you can build the plane on solo seemed weird to me. (I know the pack a punch machine is there, but they could of moved it to somewhere else on solo)

There is a guy on youtube "You must login or register to view this content." And he has done some of the easter egg but i'm kinda sure that you need multiple people to complete the easter egg like in most of the old zombie maps.

Funnily enough, I just watched all his Easter egg videos at work (another victory for the lazy man!) and saw all the stuff about the spoons, the skulls, the secret blunder gat, another Easter egg song and audio tapes that talk in detail about what really happened on the island.

Dunno why he didn't think to take the plane in normal mode rather than afterlife since all the audio tapes are there when they're alive and the last tape mentions the electric chair.

There is an achievement worth 30G "To break the cycle", and the first time you land on the bridge, one of the characters say "There has to be a way to break the cycle". There's more to than just landing on the bridge, I'm sure of it. Winky Winky

Got to round 27 yesterday and all 4 players packed allot of heat, but the hosts Xbox froze so it was all in vain. :(

Break the Cycle you get by getting to the electric chair and resetting 3 times in 1 games. As I found out, you can do this on solo, I kept going back to the bridge to pack a punch different weapons, after I left there the 3rd time you get the achievement. Smile

Nah man, I already got the achievement for going back and forth 3 times, and I don't have the "Break the cycle" achievement..?

Yeah, what I mentioned is one of the ways, but the achievement your thinking of is: pop goes the weasel, it says break the cycle in the description.

This seems to be the genuine Easter egg, it's long, elaborate and requires team work, it involves collecting skulls, spoons and audio tapes.

The skulls seem to unlock a secret blunder gat in the wardens office, dunno if this is essential or not yet, there are spoons to find, everytime you get one, you hear Brutus say a prisoners number, claiming their time is up.

You have to go to the security code (the code you had to shock in afterlife to get the plane part,) and type in all the prisoners numbers.

You then have to find all the audio cassettes, which lead up to the roof top is, the tapes tell you what has been happening in Alcatraz regarding the 4 characters.

Then finally get on the plane in afterlife mode, when you crash land on the bridge, you'll find your bodies on the electric chair, you then have to kill the player who is playing as Al (the weasel), yes you can shoot the player in this case, once done, you'll break the cycle, get the achievement, but the game ends.

It's all on NGTzombies on youtube, I watched it earlier today, dunno how much of it you actually have to do, I imagine you can skip the skulls possibly.
