Seeing my boy Jimmy in someone’s thumbnail really is nice to see. It’s almost like the community forgot about him. This guy brought us iconic maps and had the best story in the mode.
in Germany we got the censored WaW back in the days. there was no Zombie mode included ( cause of nzi flags etc. lol) . so we needed to get online cracks and load it on up to a USB Stick to play on the Xbox 360 lol
@@Zanooz passion is an odd word. them boys overworked the hell out of themselves because the loved their product. Now, "overworked" means Activision has to pay hella OT.
Bruh i just freaked out. the flash game at 1:34 is the exact reason i found zombies way back in the day. I loved that game and wanted something on console similar and i stumbled across cod zombies. been here ever since.
My jaw literally dropped when he said the title. I can’t believe that was the inspiration for making CoD zombies instead of like a tower defense. I absolutely loved playing last stand, it was such a challenge to get to high waves! Actually insane coincidence
The reason there’s a 1911 that shoot projectile rockets is because of the world at war death card the king of hearts which allows you to shoot explosives out of your pistol when downed it wasn’t foreshadowing pack a punch but that pistol was repurposed when der reise was made. The finger gun is called a default weapon and that is in the game as a place holder to make sure guns load properly into levels.
yessir ! but its not all about this map. i think a simple map could be great If the rest of the mode still works. but it doesnt! its a shame what they did to Zombies.
I don’t think Liberty falls is that bad of a map, it’ll be great for camos and other stuff but if they terminus instead then our perspectives would’ve been a lot different. A Paris map in bo1 would be very creepy cuz of the catacombs and hearing whispers of dead people and seeing skulls on the walls. Moon was a much better idea and who knows maybe Liberty falls won’t be that bad
@@timmy6402 it's a silly thing to consider firing someone over, but it just shows how much the CoD devs used to care about the campaign being an authentic non-goofy portrayal of history - heavy emphasis on "used to"
the finger gun was probably a test gun used to test out weapon mechanics in the game, it has appeared in a lot of cods actually. the explosive 1911 is a remnant of the campaign death card that lets you shoot a 1911 with explosive rounds and not an early pack a punch idea, though it may have inspired the papped 1911.

12:10 I’ll be honest, without that “grappling” bug, WaW zombies wouldn’t have the tension that it has. It makes the zombies more dangerous up close, a bit like Killing Floor’s grappling mechanic to discourage you getting close to them, heightening the tension and defensive game flow
The way the “grappling” bug works is different from map to map. In Nacht, as long as you keep moving and don’t let zombies block your path, you should be ok. Whereas on Der Riese, they stepped it up, and you easily get “sucked” into the zombies grasp, making training hard.
@@Ryan-pz2whthe reason is that each map has slightly different hit animations with verruckt having the most basic, the zombies stop running to hit you. in the other 3 maps they added sprint hit animation. but that’s separate from the sticky zombies which miko accurately describes as a simple toggle setting on AI which is the same on all maps. 2 different things that work together to create the “feel” of waw zombies

6:15 For those extra nerds who want to know, the name for the PAP’d Ray Gun comes from H. Porter, a group 935 scientist responsible for creating the Ray Gun in game. H. Porter was indeed named after the creator/dev of the Ray Gun, Max Porter (who was the one who almost went to the chopping block for sneaking it into the WaW campaign). God I miss Zombies having depth…
Wow what a throwback! It’s crazy to think that I’ve been through it all and knew most of these except some minor details in just before it was published
Folks, I've come up with an idea that I think should be rewarded. I was watching Dalek's new video about the classic mode in BO6 zombie mode and realized that this is a very difficult mechanic to implement in terms of balance and it seems in will never appear in a game(on release for sure). And then it hit me 💡. What prevents us, as a community, to make our own "classic mode"? It could be as simple as * Don't use armor plates (yeah, it'll be hard, but that's what classic mode is for, right?). * Don't use resources and everything that can be bought with them: score-streaks, weapon rarity improvement, etc. * Turn off the interface to the max. Leave only as it was in bo3. No radars, no experience numbers on half the screen, no compasses, etc. * Don't use the loadout system. Just create a loadout with 1911 or other starting pistol. Field upgrades can be used, they are cool.
Note: If score-streaks appear in mystery box, you can just not pick them up. Imagine like if teddy bear appeared in a box. Exception: the injector that turns you into a mangler, I think you can still use it if it drops. Sounds so bad ass to me. And as a result: we get a classic mode, hardcore, without unnecessary mechanics. The only thing that remains in this style of play is annoying falling resources from zombies, as well as a system of rare weapons (well. there is nothing to do...).
Been saying this since cold war Finally someone agrees with me on that Them adding options for people isn’t a bad thing, it’s like challenge runs in a game, you could do a game full hardcore no hud and all, it’s options for everyone
This is so nostalgic, so many memories of easter eggs, community speculation. I remember being so hyped for verruckt and the story of the marines in the trailer.

And the most similar example is the spirit ashes in Eden Ring. Most of the hardcore players don't use this mechanic, despite it being deeply implanted in the game and its overall flow. Some of the npcs that are encountered in the game serve exclusively to pump these spirits, many items enhance these spirits, and even the rewards for passing some dungeons are these spirits again! Let's try to improve our experience, since the developers do not understand what the community needs. Let it be a kind of protest against all the warzone like mechanics that endlessly annoy us.

People already do this, this isn't some crazy revelation. It just doesn't fix much. Starting with a pistol doesn't matter because pistols in cold war zombies and likely bo6 are way better than they used to be. You also have to deal with the new point system, so using pistols is already much less rewarding. Turning off all the ui is just annoying, and you can't even do that i don't think, at least in the beta. Bo3 had a stylized ui with all the info you need, with your character there and a satisfying point pop up system. You can apply this to the rest of them but at the end of the day its still a worse cold war.
Tbh I really didn’t think about it, but thats actually a good idea and it could really work, maybe then Activision will see we want our classic mode back
@@murdoxvsp6023 no the beta as a whole as shifted our perspective my guy they used default text that’s not even centred on the “find a match” button I definitely don’t trust them with zombies
I feel like people forgot that the nacht der untoten radio did stuff too. It was just random songs but it was the first interactable that didn't say "hold x to use". That kicked off my hunts for Easter eggs. Also Verrukt is the best map, hands down. Atmosphere is spot on, it was hard, music ee was phenomenal, and it introduced what we all really wanted... Oh how I wish we continued with a true horror atmosphere
As someone whose been playing since WaW and who knew most of these, I think its a good way to teach the newer fans about the modes past. Should do a vid like this every couple months or one for every zombies game etc.
Milo, I've followed since 2014. Im really happy for you hitting 2mil, congratulations! I wish we could bring the whole community back into bo3 and just use the mod tool to create our canon. Think the community could probably do a better job, especially if someone like you wrote the lore. Well that's dreaming, but still a nice dream.
Last stand was SUCH a fun flash game. The second one too, had a storyline and the looting aspect was exciting to see if you could salvage a decent weapon
I’ll never forget the first time I finished World at War. I always let the credits run, devs used to give us trophies for that back then lol; I remember perking up at the shot of the airfield, being like “wtf is that” and then getting absolutely terrified at the zombie sprinting towards the screen. Fantastic stuff.
These are some really cool facts! No wonder the zombie animations are so good!! The actor was a pro zombie 🧟 Jimmy and the og zombie team did gods work 🫶
OMG "The Last Stand" was legit my main go-to when i was in middle school. I've played that game probably everyday on my lunch break in the library. Good old days of 2008
The mystery surrounding world at war still fascinates me to this day. The very small subtle Easter Eggs dropped into the maps created such community driven intrigue into the potential story that the zombies mode may be hiding.
I absolutely love the song Easter eggs, really put me in that mood. I started at w.a.w. and since then my zombies songs from the maps are 2hrs long lol
Yeah I would love more content like this! I'm sure there's a boat load of facts we didn't know growing up with the mode. As a game designer now, though, I love all this insight ❤️

Shopping mall sized maps with rounds, where round 1-80 are filler, are SO MUCH FUN!!!!
crazy nostalgia in this vid for me dude i remember being 8 years old staying up all night to download der riese and only being able to play one match before school, that and beating the campaign then playing nacht with my cousin over and over being like wtf was so cool
6:15 For those extra nerds who want to know, the name for the PAP’d Ray Gun comes from H. Porter, a group 935 scientist responsible for creating the Ray Gun in game. H. Porter was indeed named after the creator/dev of the Ray Gun, Max Porter (who was the one who almost went to the chopping block for sneaking it into the WaW campaign). God I miss Zombies having depth…
Thats simply not true lol

Wow what a throwback! It’s crazy to think that I’ve been through it all and knew most of these except some minor details in just before it was published
Folks, I've come up with an idea that I think should be rewarded.
I was watching Dalek's new video about the classic mode in BO6 zombie mode and realized that this is a very difficult mechanic to implement in terms of balance and it seems in will never appear in a game(on release for sure).
And then it hit me 💡. What prevents us, as a community, to make our own "classic mode"?
It could be as simple as
* Don't use armor plates (yeah, it'll be hard, but that's what classic mode is for, right?).
* Don't use resources and everything that can be bought with them: score-streaks, weapon rarity improvement, etc.
* Turn off the interface to the max. Leave only as it was in bo3. No radars, no experience numbers on half the screen, no compasses, etc.
* Don't use the loadout system. Just create a loadout with 1911 or other starting pistol. Field upgrades can be used, they are cool.
Note: If score-streaks appear in mystery box, you can just not pick them up. Imagine like if teddy bear appeared in a box.
Exception: the injector that turns you into a mangler, I think you can still use it if it drops. Sounds so bad ass to me.
And as a result: we get a classic mode, hardcore, without unnecessary mechanics. The only thing that remains in this style of play is annoying falling resources from zombies, as well as a system of rare weapons (well. there is nothing to do...).
SAY NO TO WARZONE MECHANICS IN ZOMBIES MOD
Good idea, bro, let’s revive our great game
@@artyomburtsev5226nah
Been saying this since cold war
Finally someone agrees with me on that
Them adding options for people isn’t a bad thing, it’s like challenge runs in a game, you could do a game full hardcore no hud and all, it’s options for everyone
This is so nostalgic, so many memories of easter eggs, community speculation. I remember being so hyped for verruckt and the story of the marines in the trailer.

And the most similar example is the spirit ashes in Eden Ring. Most of the hardcore players don't use this mechanic, despite it being deeply implanted in the game and its overall flow. Some of the npcs that are encountered in the game serve exclusively to pump these spirits, many items enhance these spirits, and even the rewards for passing some dungeons are these spirits again!
Let's try to improve our experience, since the developers do not understand what the community needs. Let it be a kind of protest against all the warzone like mechanics that endlessly annoy us.
Upvote if agree or at leats find it interesting, also feel free to discuss together ways to play our favourite mode

Sounds boring as fuck omg what a snoozefest
So glad to see Milo’s channel doing so well recently, been killing it 🔥
9:58 going from waw zombies to cold war outbreak out of no where is almost repulsing, i even enjoyed cold war, but to see this dark and scary mode turn into that out of nowhere is just crazy
It’s not really out of nowhere, took 16 years. Most game modes would of been turned to shit in 2-3 after the greed
@@Troyyy94 i know it wasnt really out of nowhere but i was saying seeing the video from waw to cold war was jarring
the zombies community is falling apart at the seams but roflwaffles gives us new reasons to smile :) you’re so appreciated milo!
Bro take me back to middle school days playing WAW on Xbox Live, and then listening to Avenged Sevenfold playing Call of the Dead
I did not know the death sound was a hint towards the next song ee. Very interesting

People already do this, this isn't some crazy revelation. It just doesn't fix much.
Starting with a pistol doesn't matter because pistols in cold war zombies and likely bo6 are way better than they used to be. You also have to deal with the new point system, so using pistols is already much less rewarding.
Turning off all the ui is just annoying, and you can't even do that i don't think, at least in the beta. Bo3 had a stylized ui with all the info you need, with your character there and a satisfying point pop up system.
You can apply this to the rest of them but at the end of the day its still a worse cold war.
Tbh I really didn’t think about it, but thats actually a good idea and it could really work, maybe then Activision will see we want our classic mode back
@@maquainferno i least if will somehow shoe acti that those mechanics sucks. Imagine day 1 EE hunt all big zombie youtubers just deny this features
12:56 some next level nostalgia god that music is amazing
“We lied about bo6 run while you still can” - the devs
Terminus looks great idk why the liberty falls gameplay shifted ur ppls perspectives sm
@@murdoxvsp6023 no the beta as a whole as shifted our perspective my guy they used default text that’s not even centred on the “find a match” button I definitely don’t trust them with zombies
@@Nosebump obviously i come for the personality not the game, milo could go around with a rock hitting people and is still be here lol
I feel like people forgot that the nacht der untoten radio did stuff too. It was just random songs but it was the first interactable that didn't say "hold x to use". That kicked off my hunts for Easter eggs.
Also Verrukt is the best map, hands down. Atmosphere is spot on, it was hard, music ee was phenomenal, and it introduced what we all really wanted... Oh how I wish we continued with a true horror atmosphere
Facts
we need more videos like this Milo, love them
HOLY SHIT I REMEMBER LAST STAND IN THE COMPUTER LAB YOOOO. Hidden memory unlocked thanks Milo
The content recently really is bringing back the good old days
As someone whose been playing since WaW and who knew most of these, I think its a good way to teach the newer fans about the modes past. Should do a vid like this every couple months or one for every zombies game etc.
Milo, I've followed since 2014. Im really happy for you hitting 2mil, congratulations! I wish we could bring the whole community back into bo3 and just use the mod tool to create our canon. Think the community could probably do a better job, especially if someone like you wrote the lore. Well that's dreaming, but still a nice dream.
This was actually a really good video
Last stand was SUCH a fun flash game. The second one too, had a storyline and the looting aspect was exciting to see if you could salvage a decent weapon
Watching your videos for a decade milo, only zombies youtuber I genuinely watch! Hope I'm watching guides on black ops 20 from you! 🎉
This was really well made! I'm a long time zombies fan and even learned some new things myself
I’ll never forget the first time I finished World at War. I always let the credits run, devs used to give us trophies for that back then lol; I remember perking up at the shot of the airfield, being like “wtf is that” and then getting absolutely terrified at the zombie sprinting towards the screen. Fantastic stuff.
Man I'm soo grateful to have loved through this era of zombies
These are some really cool facts! No wonder the zombie animations are so good!! The actor was a pro zombie 🧟 Jimmy and the og zombie team did gods work 🫶
I appreciate this style of content from you MrWaffles
OMG "The Last Stand" was legit my main go-to when i was in middle school. I've played that game probably everyday on my lunch break in the library. Good old days of 2008
I played the last stand so much on my first smartphone like 13 years ago knowing it had an influence on cod zombies really warms my heart
Miss these type of videos from the community.
Would absolutely love a video in which you talk about all the time's zombies breached the 4th wall 😅❤ love the content!!
The mystery surrounding world at war still fascinates me to this day.
The very small subtle Easter Eggs dropped into the maps created such community driven intrigue into the potential story that the zombies mode may be hiding.
LOVE this man! Best zombies RUclipsr, especially nowadays…
I absolutely love the song Easter eggs, really put me in that mood. I started at w.a.w. and since then my zombies songs from the maps are 2hrs long lol
Really interesting facts that I didn’t know! Great video Milo!! Keep up the good work!!
Yeah I would love more content like this! I'm sure there's a boat load of facts we didn't know growing up with the mode. As a game designer now, though, I love all this insight ❤️
