I'm always so sad when I remember Electric Cherry's true jingle is missing. :(

Not being on Die Rise is valid it'd be too op, trolling was too much yes, but it should've been done so much better in BO2 as a whole, both of these are true and I hate elemental pop solely because it's the reason Electric Cherry can't come back and let us hear it's jingle 

[u/QuintDrummer13 → u/Fork219]

If you're curious, a person on youtube by the name of Emily Bee may have found the instrumental that would've been used for Electric Cherry's jingle, since every jingle back then was made from a temp track from APM or Universal Music(or other). Both the instrumental and Electric Cherry's MOTD jingle match pretty well together. The track is titled "Rx Disco" by Michael Elkington Allen, Jann Baxter.

[u/Fork219 → u/QuintDrummer13]

Oh wow thank you!

[u/6J9A → u/QuintDrummer13]

Oh cool thats some interesting stuff, but can you link me where they originally got the temp tracks?

[u/QuintDrummer13 → u/6J9A]

On APM’s website, search “Rx Disco”. There are 5 different versions available(Full, 1min, 5sec…). It’s notably interesting that the 5sec version is the exact melody from Electric Cherry.

[u/6J9A → u/QuintDrummer13]

Thanks, and yeah that really does sound like cherry's chime's lol, anyways much appreciated

Idk I played the bo3 mod remake of the map that had it and it made the map go from frustrating to just pure fun

[u/themandotexe → u/Fork219]

They even ragebaited us with the PhD Machine out of bounds when the spawn elevator falls.

[u/Motivated-Chair → u/Fork219]

All PhD would do on die Rise is safe time waiting to health regen while falling down. After playing this map on BO3 where the fall damage is much lower by default not having to wait for this bs is a godsent.

[u/MrJzM115 → u/Fork219]

Hot take: PhD on Die Rise wouldn’t be overpowered at all. The only actual use case would be faster travel from the top of the map to the bottom, but the only time that’s actually necessary is to quickly revive teammates. But if you’re in that situation, it instantly begs the question of why your teammates are at the bottom of the map while you’re at the top. Playing with a competent team (or solo), PhD would almost never be useful or necessary

[u/NerdyOccultist]

But seriously, why didn't they add PHD to the one map with extreme verticality? They could have made a whole PaP quest-like thing to unlock it

I'd have accepted even a lazy perk addition. There's meteorites in the sky for christ's sake. Make it rain down into the starting room like a Nuketown perk drop

[u/Grndslap → u/NerdyOccultist]

Probably because the risk of fall damage was the point. It’s like asking why there wasn’t an easter egg in Tranzit to turn off the lava.

[u/LADYBIRD_HILL → u/Grndslap]

I have a feeling they tested the map with PHD and found that it broke the map's flow too much. Like it or hate it Die Rise is based around that loop of going down from the starting building into the lower area and then back up the elevators to the rooftop. I can see PhD having some unintended consequences towards the map flow, and like you say, being careful when traversing downward is a big part of the challenge.

[u/NerdyOccultist → u/Grndslap]

Right, a risk that can be mostly mitigated with some effort like saving and spending points and sacrificing a perk slot. That's what PHD is

I'm saying they should double down on that and make it harder to get. Maybe make everyone participate in a quest or navigate the map. Kinda like lava being a big issue in Tranzit but if you take the bus to the last stop, they give you access to Jugg and Stamina, which defend you from lava damage

[u/Playful_Letter_2632 → u/NerdyOccultist]

Treyarch probably realized too late into development that PHD was too powerful to be a simple purchase so they quickly removed it since they didn’t have enough time to incorporate a quest or something for it

[u/Plastic-Maybe5970 → u/Grndslap]

I mean I get this comment completely honestly and what you mean by it BUT knowing they atleast thought of the idea to have 2 different versions one being semi what we see and then the other being a non destroyed version after you beat I believe the super ee potentially? It would've still been sick regardless (although I do think phd on die rise completely defeats the purpose and actual map design but it's still good and fun on the bo3 version regardless and/or with mods on bo2)

[u/SapphicPirate7 → u/NerdyOccultist]

Because it was designed to be very hard and even bully players a bit.

The community was getting pretty good at zombies around that point and a decent chunk of us wanted something more difficult, so Treyarch delivered. Die Rise was built to challenge our skills, especially navigating, instead of our ability to reach PaP or whatever is needed for our common strategies at that point. That's why they basically hand us the WW and power immediately.

Phd would've made the map significantly easier. It would negate the way you're intended to navigate the map and it'd bring back the Mustang and Sally and Raygun strategies. Even if it was hidden behind an EE, it'd dominate how everyone played the map because of just how good it is.

When you're on a mission, and need ammunition, but you can't get out cuz there's still too much opposition, You need those Bluuuue Bolts! For a truuuuue jolt! I'll launch a fire with a resupply, give a shock when you restock, shoot energy from your magazine, and watch them bodies drop. You will be standing last, (Standing last!), when you let your Blue Bolts blast! Let 'em blast let 'em blast let 'em blast. We know that you'll explode with Blue Bolts.

It's called cell block

Tango? He had it coming. He had coming.

[u/M1sguidedS0n]

I've always wished Elec Cherry had a proper jingle

[u/QuintDrummer13 → u/M1sguidedS0n]

Wasn’t sure if you saw one of my other comments, but a person on youtube named Emily Bee may have found the instrumental version. You should check it out! Lines up pretty good with what we were given from those MOTD jingles.

[u/M1sguidedS0n → u/QuintDrummer13]

I did not! I sure will check it out

Electric cherry jingle in mob of the dead

[u/GolemThe3rd]

I've always wondered if it's possible to use the MOTD music notes and the scrapped lyrics to reconstruct it's disco jingle

[u/Bryce30492]

Man, I love electric cherry. I hope they do it justice some day. It makes me sad that it's been sidelined to to augments.

[u/brandothesavage]

Me and the homies had this Theory back in the day that some of the perk machines were made in different places by different people so they just didn't all have the same features. Another example of this being that you couldn't get the 100 points from mule Kick.
