Nuketown's DISTURBING SECRET Finally Uncovered

So I live in St. George Utah. I've lived here since the mid 90's. The people who got sick are known around here as "down-winders" as they were effected down wind from the test sites. My grandmother lived in a small town in Nevada called Pioche between the test sites and St. George and was effected by the radiation. There are so many stories around here of cancer deaths and strange issues with livestock. It was a sad thing to happen to a wonderful small town. In Nye County Nevada there are places in the desert that you cant get to because its fenced off and under surveillance and you wouldn't want to go there. Its possible to still find traces of radiation in the sand around here especially in the dunes.

[@dawsynasay4841]

I live in Cedar City, Utah. My grandparents had relatives in Pioche and they remember seeing the mushroom clouds on a weekly basis. There was a farm west of Cedar where the cattle were found dead one morning due to radiation poisoning. The entire southwest region of Utah is a radioactive cesspit.

Nuketown will always have a special place in my heart. I remember back in 2010 when the game first came out, one of the guys in the barracks had an Xbox (shout outs to you, Floodsy, if you ever see this), and we would all huddle around and take turns playing. One day, we were on Nuketown, and I bet one of my guys ten bucks that I could throw a tomahawk across the map and kill somebody, and lo and behold, we all freaked the hell out! 😂 Good times.

[@jeffdroog]

Yeah,no one actually cares man lol Save stories like this for eulogy.

[@nickk.4517]

One of my professors in college actually was involved with the underground testing of nuclear weapons. He didn’t talk about it much but it was clear to me that he viewed it as a sense of duty to his country. He also acknowledged the impact of the above ground detonations had on the civilian population and urged us as up and coming engineers to remember our code of ethics.

It would be kinda cool if treyarch, or COD, released a zombie only game. Not new zombies, but just buy only the zombies from each game, and not have to buy the whole game to just play zombies

[@officialnsj5099]

This would never happen. I’d absolutely love it as a zombies vet, but no. The key reason is activision owns COD all the way through now and treyarch are unable to do this by themselves, which I believe if the community begged enough treyarch would do. BUT since it’s activisons final say, they would NEVER separate them as they know a good portion of all players who buy certain CODS only buy them for the zombies. Hence why treyarch now does zombies on every COD game ever now regardless of the studio bringing out the next COD. It sucks, but we’ll never have the luxury of this great idea

[@Dylan-xx2tk]

Wasn't there some sorta weird project around the time of Blops 3 that everyone thought was going to be a Zombies-only game? Like, Deadwood or Ravenwood, something like that...

[@MaximilianTurner]

honestly if they just gave us a "remaster" of all old treyarch maps it would sell so well, bo1,2,3,4 all in one game with amazing graphics would slap so hard

[@ponchosavage5207]

Microsoft calls all the shots now actually under their hand I could see it becoming a reality especially with how well bo6 has performed I highly doubt they will give mw more of the budget if makes zero sense at the least chronicles 2 will come out next year on bo2 sequel

[@rebjr6615]

​@officialnsj5099 also the games are all on different engines

[@torq_or_morq]

currently at 5:12 but here's my theory. So Venus may be a codename for a location, as the "source" referenced is most likely Element 115. Given the extra-terrestrial nature of this element it would make sense to assign it an otherworldly codename. As for the drill, considering the volatile nature of Element 115, it's possible that when extraction began the disturbance caused by manipulating the element was strong enough to tear open a dimensional rift pulling the drill and other nearby materials into another dimension. This may have caused the decay of reality around this site, which is why this map feels so chaotic, as it may have been "pulled out of sync" with its corresponding timeline. Hence the randomization of Perk-a-Colas and Pack-a-Punch. This may even correspond with the downfall of Group 935, which was influenced by the abuse of Element 115. Like the conflict between Richtofen and Maxis causing timelines to split, drilling for Element 115 at Venus may have triggered a cataclysmic shift in the fabric of reality.

[@ekustyle_2408]

Shutup, bro 5 mins into a 20 min vid and decides to write and entire theory, based on the 5 mins you’ve watched. 80 percent of what you said is wrong. Watch the vid and shutup

1:45 I thought it was just a place in the 2008 Indiana jones movie and treyarch just liked the look

[@kreamsupreme2935]

That is 1000% the original reasoning for the map being made. No coincidence that movie dropped ‘08 DURING bo1s development.

[@Thewizzard15]

Never in 1 million years did I think that my hometown St. George Utah would be mentioned in a Mr rofl waffles video 😂

[@Thesmoothestoperator]

I think thats what made older maps more scarier in a way cause they were pulling things or taking inspiration from life, once the story started taking more a magic turn it became a little dull

[@rapidfirer56]

19:45 Ugh I got chills hearing that score playing!!! How fitting it'd be playing at the 1945 mark too. It's too good to not have been planned ahead of time Milo! xD

[@jstephen1]

What makes it even more wild is when you realize in the zombies universe, the mannequins were sentient and maintaining Nuketown while nobody was around, but they were programmed to remain still whenever humans were present. So they essentially lived there and anytime we were playing on the map they were simply remaining dormant so we wouldn’t detect them. Once we started shooting their heads off they decided to fight back as we were literally killing them.

[@dennisbrannvalls1fan964]

Milo would make a great high school English teacher - reading so much into what is obviously just a fun little gameplay gimmick that has become tradition over the years. Nevertheless, super interesting to see the historical side of the atom bomb tests!

[@FMrewind]

hey milo, was wondering if you could do a video on how Shang is located on Mars (as well as the himalayas) and Tag der Toten takes place inside of Phobos.

[@thapotatonater827]

Another map that linked at the same time imo is five and ascension, the cutscene starts in 5 in black and white and ascension starts in black and white, when the crew turn power on and regain colour that provides colour to the end of the five cutscene. You also have the telephones where the presidents speak in ascension and yuri being at the pentagon makes sense because just before the crew arrives at ascension gersh has just been sucked and yuri used the kazimir to tp to 5.

[@kylemmein3096]

The fact that was going on in real life back then and you are showing images with WaW or Black ops music makes it seem like it is an actual part in the Black ops games. I mean they are based on real events or at least include them. It’s so cool.

[@DarienGiroux]

Hi Milo idk if you will read or this or not but it’s worth a shot, what if the loading screen is on Venus? Because one of the revelations ciphers say: “October NSA report T they found the source on Venus beginning extraction" and although people ask what significance does it have, they don’t know Russia was the first country to land on Venus on December 15, 1970 and for all I know I could be wrong but I personally think this means something

[@Cyfe42]

MORE THEORY VIDSSSSS PLEASE MILOOOOOOOO

[@s550thstonig]

For anyone who likes cold war history or is just interested in nuclear bombs/explosions, I recommend y’all watch the 1983 movie “The Day After”. Its posted for free on youtube last time I checked. If you’re still reading this then here’s a quick summary: it takes place in Kansas City/Lawrence (I live in KC and go to school downtown this movie had me tweaking) and it basically shows the U.S. being attacked by the Soviet Union using nuclear bombs giving the people little time to react and it fully shows the effects of emps and downtown Kansas City and lawrence (I think) being blown up w/ a few huge mushroom clouds followed by a few long minutes of people being vaporized by the explosion including a mom and baby. After the explosion it shows what hospital life would be like as well as bunker life. Overall it’s a great movie that everyone should go watch if you haven’t already.

[@dillonc7955]

I can't believe this wasn't mentioned but the ORIGINAL inspiration for Nuketown was from the movie "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull". Indy enters a strange town in the middle of the Nevada desert and finds that all of its inhabitants are mannequins. Knocking one over, he and the Soviets searching for him, quickly realize they're in a Nuketown. A lot of these were built in the 1950s, away from civilization to test the effects of nuclear bombs on ordinary people. Without this real-life history and thar scene from Indiana Jones, I highly doubt Nuketown would have ever made it into Black Ops.
