- "Listen only to the sound of my voice. Let your mind relax. Let your thoughts drift. Let the bad memories fade. Let peace be upon you. Surrender yourself to your dreams. Let them wash over you like the gentle waves of the bluest ocean. Let them envelop you. Comfort you.
Imagine somewhere calm. Imagine somewhere safe. Imagine yourself in a frozen forest. You're standing in a clearing. Trees around you so tall, they touch the sky. Pure white snowflakes fall all around. You can feel them melt on your skin. You are not cold. It cannot overcome the warmth of your beating heart. Can you hear it? You only have to listen.
Can you hear it slowing? You're slowing it. You are in control. Calm. At peace." - — Corvus
The Frozen Forest
The Frozen Forest is a neurological landscape created by Corvus in order to simulate life after death, which the player gets to in last mission Life. The idea for the forest comes from the aural therapy which Dr. Yousef Salim implemented in the SP/CORVUS test subjects in order to calm patients after strenuous mental trials.
The poem recited by Corvus and; subsequently, whomever it corrupted, comes from the audio recording Salim created and played for the patients. During the events of Call of Duty: Black Ops III, Corvus corrupts John Taylor and his team. Once the Player, Rachel Kane and Hendricks learn of the truth, they hunt down their former allies. John Taylor and his team appear to repeat Corvus' message, mainly "imagine yourself in a frozen forest".
In Call of Duty: Black Ops III, The Frozen Forest also appears as the menu for the Zombies mode, and is also a playable area in Dead Ops Arcade II: Cyber's Avengening.
Trivia[]
- In the mission Life, the snow in the Frozen Forest goes up to the sky instead of falling down.
