One thing that I dont see mentioned about Shadows that I believe objectively puts it over maps like DE, Origins and Mob is that Shadows is a starter map. You get Shadows right out of the box where as you have to buy the other maps, and so for people like myself who grew up with very anti gaming parents being able to play such an amazing map right out of the box was amazing, because I sure as hell wasnt going to get any of the dlc maps.
i believe that actually works against it more than for it. it killed a lot of the casual community who didn’t want to play Der Riese for the 300th time
That's a great point I never thought about. But you're definitely in the minority. Most people who played it at launch didn't like how complicated and different it was on the surface level, even myself and I've never been a casual player. It stopped a lot of people from even considering the DLC. But that's not the maps fault necessarily. What it needed was a more basic map to launch with, to ease people into the new mechanics. The Giant doesn't count cause it's just a remaster

@@lazerpie1222 it’s a good one! Certainly isn’t my favorite and I can understand not liking some things about it but yeah I like it and have a lot of great memories both high rounding and doing the EE.
I am a blood fan. I’ve beaten the EE at least 5 times solo. I think it looks beautiful and I think the difficulty of the gameplay makes it even better. There’s literally only 3 bad things I could think of which is: 1. No bridge, 2. Bo4 system, 3. Shield/no afterlife.

hot take: i like all bo4 maps but the bo4 system ruins it if they were on bo3 they would probably be considered top teir maps (besides blood i despise that map)

All of bo4 casually eats mauer. I do agree though if we take that into consideration. Die mashine has aged HORRIBLY bad. This map is boring as fuck as nothing going in terms of story and art direction, the ww is the worst it's not fun not cool not good. Firebase Z. Is that a zombies map? That shit is bad. Still is better than die mashine and the raik is kinda fun but still meh. Easter egg is laughable. Mauer is actually pretty good. Really good easter egg and boss fight, cool story, cool art direction sick wonder weapon cool new mini boss zombies. Forsaken has aged almost worst than die mashine.

Outbreak actually aged better tbh. It's kinda fun and easy going but quickly reach boredom because of annoying repetitive objectives. Legion is pretty good but that's it.
@@NIKEONXX Forsaken is my personal least favorite map, and I refuse to play die machine or Firebase. Outbreak has aged pretty well but mauer has something they all don’t. Mauer has the old zombies feel, great gameplay, awesome setting for history nerds like me, an interesting wonder weapon, incredible visuals, and an atmosphere I haven’t felt as immersed in since gorod krovi. My only flaw I can find in the map is the fact that the wunderfizz exists. I believe wunderfizz should be an outbreak feature only.

Feel free to disagree and continue this, I love talking about my opinion on zombies. To have another think to argue about, here is my top ten maps from best (1) to worst (10) 1 Origins 2 Shadows of Evil 3 Mob of the Dead 4 Zetsubo no shima 5 Gorod Krovi 6 Revelations (Because it’s fun) 7 Buried 8 Moon 9 Der eisendrache 10 Mauer Der toten I am a proud Mauer der toten lover and Zetsubo Lover, Zetsubo has aged like the finest wine and I hope Mauer does too

Back before any dlc came out shadows of evil was not only well loved but it was the biggest thing in zombies. The only people who hated it where the same people bitching since call of the dead that they hate complexity
Transit is not a good map, but its still one of my favorites. tons of fun memories. Firebase Z was when i really gave up on zombies. It will forever be my least favorite map. Made me quit playing zombies for like 2 years
I have ALWAYS loved TranZit. People hate on it for the fog and denizens, but the denizens were hilarious. Bottom line is it’s just not meant to be a solo map. If you hop on with a few friends looking to have fun it’s a classic. So many ways to troll your friends especially if they don’t know the map.
Am I the only one that loves that nacht is in every game? Feels like always paying respect to your elder. Conceptually I think bo2 did it best even if I hated tranzit
I think the reason why people say Blood is better than Mob is because Blood was a launch map and Mob wasn't. Therefore, more people had a chance to play Blood than they did with Mob. But Blood is still NOT better than Mob.
In my Opinion, Zetsubou is the single most UNDERRATED Map of all time. Im glad to see it at no. 2 as its my favourite Map ever tied with Mob of the Dead🎉
@@eoinwalsh4026 That corridor was pretty sweet, as well as atop the bank with the couch debris. Buried jugg has that work bench above that you can paralyzer up to and get a new subsurface resonator very fast. Training in the saloon with trample steam is also goated.
Damn I actually liked how die machine ends, you go in, figure out all the secrets, and blow the facility so no more harm can be done. Otherwise, when you exfill you basically admitted defeat. Something about it made the map that much more enjoyable to me. Iv probably done the EE over 50 times whenever I wanna play a casual game, beat and Easter egg and not waste an hour stright. I do it in 30 mins tops if I’m dialed in who’s with me??
Heres the thing about Blood, is it a badly designed map that took a well designed map and altered poorly? Yea. Is it not a fun map for just gameplay? Yes. But, it has maybe the best Easter egg we've ever gotten. Story is incredible and the egg is genuinely difficult. If you are taking story and egg into account, blood has to be a top 7 map
Litteraly have every bo4 in S tier. This game was FUCKING goated. And despite all the absolute activision fuckery and everything that happened they managed to cooked this hard.
@@NIKEONXX True, every single map is excelent (dont understand the hate to voyage and alpha omega at all). Like what Der eisendrache got that Alpha omega dont?? People just laugh and denigrate my opinion but never give a solid argument. Good flow on the map? both got; 4 unique wonder weapons that are made by quests? both got (of course bows are stronger but in terms of playthrough you do basically a similar thing); good story?? both got; fast and easy map to setup? both are; side easter eggs? both got amazing side easter eggs and i would say Alpha omega have better ones. Rushmore is goated one of the best features ever in Cod zombies history. I genuinely dont understand why people hate on Alpha omega maybe they didnt like the athmosphere or the elemental nova crawlers (which i like personaly) other than that i cannot found more "bad" things about the map.
I've played zombies since Bo1 was back in 2010 and zetsubou no Shima is still in my top five and at the time I remember people didn't like the map but it's just so good, we need a remake in bo6.
Yo lex if interests you, you should try making a high round strat on each map guide, or go back to the og days and show us some training spots on each map for multiplayer mans, i find i only know one good spot per map because of solo.
You aren’t alone on that. A creepy hospital map would be awesome. Kind of like when Rick first wakes up from the coma in twd vibes for me. That would be crazy
Tranzit and die rise are really good well thought maps imo, I think they get overhated for being challenging maps but that's why I respect what die rise was. Like when I tried playing transit but without fog and denizens, yea its fun but very big and open and just too easy almost like cold war and some newer maps. They weren't just there because of console limitations, its part of what made the map interesting like should I wait for bus or fight my way through fog. I feel like I don't even have to think at all on new zombies just go for headshots.
Ima be honest with yall, I’m a hyper casual zombies player that only plays to survive and never did a single Easter egg aside from Firebase Z, and my top 5 favorite maps to play are 1. Mob of the Dead 2. Ascention 3. Kino Der Toten 4. Shadows of Evil 5. Die Maschine HM to Der Reise and Die Rise. Those would be 6 and 7
@@NIKEONXX the reason I dislike BO4 is mostly the games mechanics, but I have Classified either in or near my top 10, and I like IX, Dead of the Night and Voyage quite a bit! TBH the only map I strongly dislike is Blood of the Dead, Alpha Omega is mid at best
@@NIKEONXX I want to like blood but it’s really hard to learn, I’ve never pack a punched on blood of the dead, I can not figure it out for the life of me, it’s really hard as a casual Voyage was at my bottom but when I finally learned it I actually started liking it quite a bit
Shadows it's peak zombies love Frome treyarch. While I like more Mob of the dead, SoE is right behind. The love, the details and the overall will to deliver a fantastic experience are unmatched to this day and probably forever.
I want to say for Revelations, I do like it, and I do remember our demands as a community for a map that would combine past maps. I appreciate them trying to make something out of that idea. Revelations has always been probably a top 15-20 map for me, I just don't like the way they did the easter egg quest. The story is cool, and a lot of the gameplay is fine but the easter egg quest itself really disappointment me. It felt like Treyarch and we as the community got so worked up about how fast EE's were getting initially beaten to the point where Treyarch valued making the initial hunt take longer rather than trying to gear the EE around being fun, and logical, while still being challenging. Like come on man, you CANNOT defend that step where you have to shoot the random ass floating rock. That step isn't even my only problem with it, that just an easy example of what was wrong with that EE.
Someone explain to me why people put shadows at #1. The main EE involves upgrading the sword and that's it. There is no WW upgrade. I think much like how RUclips killed BO4, RUclips makes randos over hype shadows.
I have to agree there. The easter egg sucks. It just does. Also, i will NEVER let them gaslight me into thinking youtubers did not play a role in the death of BO4. I mean their fucking bad arguments is STILL being used by people who never even played bo4.
+MrDuckphart Let’s take out the main EE and see what you get - Layout - Innovative aesthetics and atmosphere ( sound design - perk jingles - round change sfx - color and vibe of the map - time and date setting etc. ) - Flow - Widow’s Probably top 1 perk - Beast mode - Crew & dialogues - Best WW - Probably the most fun Side EE’s - Best zombie variations and Boss - Best map for speedruns Even if you think the ending and reward of the main EE is meaningless i would argue the gameplay and flow of the steps and quest itself for it could be considered more innovative and fun than a whole other map of zombies in that aspect, also BO4 was ruined because of the mechanics and and story ( chaos just sounds like a cookie-cutter rushed off-brand storyline for a zombies game ) better stick to the script and what people are used to and knowing that ending to the main story of zombies ( aether) was TDT is just a huge disappointment and unstability of the game itself at launch was also a main factor to the game flopping , I don’t think the community which 80% of it contains of casuals would be influenced by youtubers that much at that time , i think the community is more invovled now even tho the whole franchise especially zombies is exhausted and dying because people rather point out their opinions on the new COD they just bought rather than protesting and not buying or just playing the older games and staying silent. if you think SOE has a pointless EE and boring high-rounds and no replay value then you should’ve heared something about MWZ my friend , you just gotta give credit where credit is due even though it might sound like any other tier list with grass is green takes and rankings.
1. The map layout flows well and is unique and not some recycled Garbo map from campaign or an older COD game. Not too mention it’s visually stunning. 2. The WW on the map is already the BEST WW of all time, not sure why you’d want to be able to upgrade it especially when you have gobblegums already to give you more ammo. The sword imo is also cool, nothing crazy but it’s cool. 3. I think the introduction of the margwa on this map was also great, it’s probably my favorite boss zombie. 4. Sexy PAP camo 5. It’s a very replayable map with cool mini side EEs like the little Arnie upgrade, margwa hat, getting and upgrading the sword. TLDR; Great map flow and the map itself is beautiful/vibrant. Arguably the best WW in any map. Has a lot to do on the map and with good replay ability ! Maybe it’s not the best map ever but I can understand why it’s a Top 5 for a ton of people
@@the_lord7961 1. the map flow isn't unique. It uses a formula that has been used several times, a central hub with pathways that branch out of it. As seen in Der Reise, Ascension, and Gorod Krovi afterward (I know GK doesn't count). 2. The pap camo is virtually the same as the one on mob.
@@MrDuckphart I meant the map flow is good while the map design is unique. I’ve never seen another map like it. And I said the pap camo is sexy, not that it’s unique

Am I the only one that loves that nacht is in every game? Feels like always paying respect to your elder. Conceptually I think bo2 did it best even if I hated tranzit
I think the reason why people say Blood is better than Mob is because Blood was a launch map and Mob wasn't. Therefore, more people had a chance to play Blood than they did with Mob. But Blood is still NOT better than Mob.
Crazy how much people love shadows now I remember people saying zombies was cooked when it dropped because of the beast and margwas. Aged so well
In my Opinion, Zetsubou is the single most UNDERRATED Map of all time. Im glad to see it at no. 2 as its my favourite Map ever tied with Mob of the Dead🎉
I can attest to those who started zombies in WAW definitely prefer to play Der Riese over Kino. Not sure if it’s nostalgia or what
Can’t believe the titanic designers didn’t think of how it would translate to BO4 Zombies smh my head.
9:20 actually you visit Firebase z for literally like 15 seconds during the Vietnam mission 💀
19:21 buried juggernog clears both der reise catwalk and die maschine roof by a country mile
He means a fun camping spot
@@oog420bro what? He clearly said best camping spot hit the timestamp I provided. Buried jugg is way better than the two spots he mentioned.
Buried had a camping spot in the saloon upstairs classic map
@@eoinwalsh4026 That corridor was pretty sweet, as well as atop the bank with the couch debris. Buried jugg has that work bench above that you can paralyzer up to and get a new subsurface resonator very fast. Training in the saloon with trample steam is also goated.
Idk how but shadows looks and plays better than zombies maps we’re getting today. It’s 10 years old and it looks and play that much better
Damn I actually liked how die machine ends, you go in, figure out all the secrets, and blow the facility so no more harm can be done. Otherwise, when you exfill you basically admitted defeat. Something about it made the map that much more enjoyable to me. Iv probably done the EE over 50 times whenever I wanna play a casual game, beat and Easter egg and not waste an hour stright. I do it in 30 mins tops if I’m dialed in who’s with me??
All of the WaW maps are the foundation for what Zombies is supposed to be
I love these videos but I swear lex glazes every list when half the maps are in different places
Heres the thing about Blood, is it a badly designed map that took a well designed map and altered poorly? Yea. Is it not a fun map for just gameplay? Yes. But, it has maybe the best Easter egg we've ever gotten. Story is incredible and the egg is genuinely difficult. If you are taking story and egg into account, blood has to be a top 7 map
You mean tedious and utter frustrating? Hard can be many things and this was not executed well.
Shadows being anything other than #1 is crazy
I'll never understand the BotD hate. It's in my top 5😭
only flaw is the fast travels imo, map is perfectly fine with way more to do than mob
It’s trash cause of og mob of the dead
True, defintely upgraded MOTD in my opinion.
Litteraly have every bo4 in S tier. This game was FUCKING goated. And despite all the absolute activision fuckery and everything that happened they managed to cooked this hard.
@@NIKEONXX True, every single map is excelent (dont understand the hate to voyage and alpha omega at all). Like what Der eisendrache got that Alpha omega dont?? People just laugh and denigrate my opinion but never give a solid argument. Good flow on the map? both got; 4 unique wonder weapons that are made by quests? both got (of course bows are stronger but in terms of playthrough you do basically a similar thing); good story?? both got; fast and easy map to setup? both are; side easter eggs? both got amazing side easter eggs and i would say Alpha omega have better ones. Rushmore is goated one of the best features ever in Cod zombies history. I genuinely dont understand why people hate on Alpha omega maybe they didnt like the athmosphere or the elemental nova crawlers (which i like personaly) other than that i cannot found more "bad" things about the map.
I only like Blood of the Dead because it uses custom mutation in bo4 to get high round and skip the ester egg.
I've played zombies since Bo1 was back in 2010 and zetsubou no Shima is still in my top five and at the time I remember people didn't like the map but it's just so good, we need a remake in bo6.
Yo lex if interests you, you should try making a high round strat on each map guide, or go back to the og days and show us some training spots on each map for multiplayer mans, i find i only know one good spot per map because of solo.
Tranzit was the best for me!
I rank the zombies maps quite often actually. As years go on my opinions for every single one changes. Spaceland grew on me a lot and so did zetsu bou
I’m a ZNS lover. Love the atmosphere. Love the layout. Love the WW. EE is meh, but I enjoy everything else about the map
Till the day I die Ill think that if spaceland was on bo3 it would be considered the goat
thank you lex
Tranzit isn’t a well made map I think everyone knows it. People rank it so highly mostly because playing with your friends on that map is very fun.
I hate how poeple hate on bo4 so much like I played every map and there my fav maps
Ima Voyage of Despair Stan and I’m not ashamed
I have so much fun running that Easter Egg with my boys
The map gets way to much hate its a really good map
I like voyage. Its better than all of cold war imo
Ashamed of a bo4 map? Nah fam all the maps are goated.
Zns got so much unnecessary hate bc of the glitches and spiders. It was so underrated
I want a fledge map in a hospital in the same vein as batman arkham asylum and creepy vibes.
You aren’t alone on that. A creepy hospital map would be awesome. Kind of like when Rick first wakes up from the coma in twd vibes for me. That would be crazy
Verrückt
Tbh I almost feel like a Great War map would've been created similarly to Vanguard Zombies. Just my current take on it.
i’ll never understand the nacht der untoten having to be “in the middle” because im loading up tranzit before nacht any day 😂
Glad to see shadows getting some respect. I really love the vibe of zetsuboa but it’s honestly ruined for me with having no good training areas
Tranzit and die rise are really good well thought maps imo, I think they get overhated for being challenging maps but that's why I respect what die rise was. Like when I tried playing transit but without fog and denizens, yea its fun but very big and open and just too easy almost like cold war and some newer maps. They weren't just there because of console limitations, its part of what made the map interesting like should I wait for bus or fight my way through fog. I feel like I don't even have to think at all on new zombies just go for headshots.
Transit is bad, just bad, you have to do so much to pack a punch
19:09 five is literally all ripped out of the campaign. Why don't we mention that?
Lex can you rank every Mystery Box location in COD zombies?
Ima be honest with yall, I’m a hyper casual zombies player that only plays to survive and never did a single Easter egg aside from Firebase Z, and my top 5 favorite maps to play are
1. Mob of the Dead
2. Ascention
3. Kino Der Toten
4. Shadows of Evil
5. Die Maschine
HM to Der Reise and Die Rise. Those would be 6 and 7
Wich is fine. I probably think you don't like bo4 then? Considering the massive focus on easter eggs?
@@NIKEONXX the reason I dislike BO4 is mostly the games mechanics, but I have Classified either in or near my top 10, and I like IX, Dead of the Night and Voyage quite a bit! TBH the only map I strongly dislike is Blood of the Dead, Alpha Omega is mid at best
@@vitzky636 that's fair. I love bo4 so much, i honestly loved blood infinitely more than mob and i actually love AO.
@@NIKEONXX I want to like blood but it’s really hard to learn, I’ve never pack a punched on blood of the dead, I can not figure it out for the life of me, it’s really hard as a casual
Voyage was at my bottom but when I finally learned it I actually started liking it quite a bit
i think balance is very important in zombies. Get balance out and you get forsaken.
This is a really good list but ZNS being at no2 is insane to me lol
Nacht Der Untoten is really the Charizard of zombies maps
I think blood of the dead is pretty good honestly only set backs for me is the Easter egg and how bo4 set up its map
Bro the amount of contradictions in your criteria vs opinions is crazy.
My mom has me dying rn she said the guy who recorded the video your reacting to sounds like bob from bobs burgers😅😅
celtics shaq 😭
Tranzit is not a good map by any means but if I was ranking maps off the fun-factor, i’d honestly have it pretty high. Bad Map ≠ Not fun.
Babe wake up lex made a new tierlist video…
Shadows it's peak zombies love Frome treyarch. While I like more Mob of the dead, SoE is right behind.
The love, the details and the overall will to deliver a fantastic experience are unmatched to this day and probably forever.
Voyage slander WILL NOT BE TOLERATED
I want to say for Revelations, I do like it, and I do remember our demands as a community for a map that would combine past maps. I appreciate them trying to make something out of that idea. Revelations has always been probably a top 15-20 map for me, I just don't like the way they did the easter egg quest. The story is cool, and a lot of the gameplay is fine but the easter egg quest itself really disappointment me. It felt like Treyarch and we as the community got so worked up about how fast EE's were getting initially beaten to the point where Treyarch valued making the initial hunt take longer rather than trying to gear the EE around being fun, and logical, while still being challenging. Like come on man, you CANNOT defend that step where you have to shoot the random ass floating rock. That step isn't even my only problem with it, that just an easy example of what was wrong with that EE.
blood of the dead and alpha omega is definitely in the top 3 zombies map of all time
Someone explain to me why people put shadows at #1. The main EE involves upgrading the sword and that's it. There is no WW upgrade. I think much like how RUclips killed BO4, RUclips makes randos over hype shadows.
I have to agree there. The easter egg sucks. It just does.
Also, i will NEVER let them gaslight me into thinking youtubers did not play a role in the death of BO4. I mean their fucking bad arguments is STILL being used by people who never even played bo4.
+MrDuckphart Let’s take out the main EE and see what you get
- Layout
- Innovative aesthetics and atmosphere ( sound design - perk jingles - round change sfx - color and vibe of the map - time and date setting etc. )
- Flow
- Widow’s Probably top 1 perk
- Beast mode
- Crew & dialogues
- Best WW
- Probably the most fun Side EE’s
- Best zombie variations and Boss
- Best map for speedruns
Even if you think the ending and reward of the main EE is meaningless i would argue the gameplay and flow of the steps and quest itself for it could be considered more innovative and fun than a whole other map of zombies in that aspect, also BO4 was ruined because of the mechanics and and story ( chaos just sounds like a cookie-cutter rushed off-brand storyline for a zombies game ) better stick to the script and what people are used to and knowing that ending to the main story of zombies ( aether) was TDT is just a huge disappointment and unstability of the game itself at launch was also a main factor to the game flopping , I don’t think the community which 80% of it contains of casuals would be influenced by youtubers that much at that time , i think the community is more invovled now even tho the whole franchise especially zombies is exhausted and dying because people rather point out their opinions on the new COD they just bought rather than protesting and not buying or just playing the older games and staying silent. if you think SOE has a pointless EE and boring high-rounds and no replay value then you should’ve heared something about MWZ my friend , you just gotta give credit where credit is due even though it might sound like any other tier list with grass is green takes and rankings.
1. The map layout flows well and is unique and not some recycled Garbo map from campaign or an older COD game. Not too mention it’s visually stunning.
2. The WW on the map is already the BEST WW of all time, not sure why you’d want to be able to upgrade it especially when you have gobblegums already to give you more ammo. The sword imo is also cool, nothing crazy but it’s cool.
3. I think the introduction of the margwa on this map was also great, it’s probably my favorite boss zombie.
4. Sexy PAP camo
5. It’s a very replayable map with cool mini side EEs like the little Arnie upgrade, margwa hat, getting and upgrading the sword.
TLDR; Great map flow and the map itself is beautiful/vibrant. Arguably the best WW in any map. Has a lot to do on the map and with good replay ability ! Maybe it’s not the best map ever but I can understand why it’s a Top 5 for a ton of people
@@the_lord7961 1. the map flow isn't unique. It uses a formula that has been used several times, a central hub with pathways that branch out of it. As seen in Der Reise, Ascension, and Gorod Krovi afterward (I know GK doesn't count).
2. The pap camo is virtually the same as the one on mob.
@@MrDuckphart I meant the map flow is good while the map design is unique. I’ve never seen another map like it. And I said the pap camo is sexy, not that it’s unique
All bro does is commentate over other videos and agree with 99% of the entire video
bro I like your video but can you do something with your mic Its is very loud when you get close to it
Lex "BOTD and mob are the same map" old mate "Bloods layout is terrible."
I can't wait for this video in 2038 gonna have so many more zombies maps
