strange secrets and mishaps

In the dressing room, I believe it is, you can hear some knocking. It could be coming from a suitcase, or even the wall. No other information on this. Video link here.

If you go back to the Alley, on the ground you will see black letters scrambled everywhere. These black letters spell out, "Manhattan Down." This may hint to Dr. Avro Manhattan. He could have possibly been the one to create the creepy crawlers... or maybe the zombies in general? This seems most likely, but it could also possibly hint a new Zombies map in the future (not one in First Strike). And the least likely possibility deals with the Manhattan Project.

Remember the room you can access from the first room if you walk up the right set of stairs that has zombies which come from the theater balcony? Okay, well now you remember that small, square-shaped room that leads downstairs to the Stakeout and MP40? Well, in that small, square-shaped room are 5 portraits.

One of the portraits is of Richtofen. One of the players you play as. He is a ♥♥♥♥ Scientist who created the Ray Gun, or DG-3. He appeared in WaW in Shi No Numa & Der Riese.

The second portrait is of Takeo Masaki. He also appeared in Shi No Numa and Der Riese. He was apart of the Japanese Imperial Army.

The third portrait is of Tank Dempsey. He's most famous for his line, "Time to shock some meat-bag ♥♥♥! Oorah!" He says this once receiving the Ray Gun. Also seen in Shi No Numa and Der Riese.

The fourth portrait is of Nikolai Belinski. Also appeared in Shi No Numa and Der Riese.

You can tell these guys have been busy fighting zombies for awhile now...

The last portrait is blank. I personally have no idea who it's supposed to be, but you play with four people on zombies, so next time you're playing, look for someone not mentioned above and give me the information if you find any.

NOTE: This wasn't in any specific order.

A bit more on the generators. I was doing some research, and someone brought up a good possibility. Remember you read about how the generators may have something to do with something? Well, I was reading about how you may have to shoot the red power boxes and the generators with a gun from the PaP room.

I thought to myself, "doesn't really make any sense, but then again I could be wrong." So, I was reading more. I then read someone write about how you may have to shoot them all with an upgraded G11, considering it's called the G115 Generator.

This makes total sense, but only to an extent. I have yet to test this out, and will try when possible. This is all speculation, so if I am wrong, I will remove this section on the G11.

Another writing on the wall that you can see states, "The element is here!" This is referring to element 115. This is what powers the teleporter, PaP, and the zombies.

The portraits mentioned before may be there because their lives are in the hands of Samantha. Maybe the blank portrait is of another person she has yet to capture?

Remember when we saw the name "Sally" carved onto the man's gun within the Black Ops poster? Well, many thought this hinted to gun engraved clan tags. Which... they were right. But it also hinted to zombies. The gun he's holding is the M1911. When upgraded with the PaP, it's called "Sally."

Kino Der Toten was scheduled to be in Map Pack 4 for WaW, but was canceled due to MW2's close release.

The song 115 by Elena Siegman is also heard on Der Riese in WaW, and probably Black Ops. It plays when all players die.

Samantha could be two different people. Either Samantha Abigail, or Samantha Maxis. Chances are it's probably Samantha Maxis, which is opposed to what I wrote earlier, on how it may be somehow related to JD_2020 as a fun little easter egg.

Samantha Maxis is the daughter of Dr. Maxis. In WaW, her and her father were killed by a hellhound, which was formerly her puppy named "Fluffy." This was the work of their assistant named Edward. He put them, along with the hellhound, into a teleporter and, obviously, teleported them.

Samantha is also the voice of the demonic child's voice you hear when the teddy bear appears from the mystery box. This is the same voice heard when you pick up power ups. This may point out what I mentioned earlier, with Samantha holding your characters' fates in her hands. When the teddy bear appears, Dr. Richtofen says, "Samantha, what did I tell you about this?"

Samantha may also have been holding a teddy bear while she was teleported. The hellhounds may also be under her control, considering the first one is Fluffy.

The monkey bomb talks about Samantha before activated. Well, it does in WaW. Haven't noticed it in Black Ops. Which is weird considering this was constructed by Dr. Richtofen.
