As a purely casual zombies player this is interesting. The things we look for in a map are wildly different as someone who just runs around until I die maps like Town are more fun because they are a lot easier to just jump into and play.
Ya, it's a hyper Zombies nerd opinion. They don't see the value in basic maps due their insane amount of time put into it. Can't really blame them at that point haha
@@1stKills if zombies isn't your main thing, then the survival maps are great for a session or two every now and again. People like Zombies RUclipsrs main the mode (obviously haha), so they would never really touch those maps beyond trying them out once or twice when they are released
@@booyashaka3182Doesn’t matter if you’re a casual or not, there’s a level of quality you can’t deny. Just the quotes of the characters and atmosphere of maps like Shadows and Mob out them in a league above Town, where you play as a random guy in a hazmat or suit.
@@vryyyxthat’s true but there is also a fun simplicity in Town. Very easy to just play without thinking too much. It’s hard to figure out maps like shadows of evil. Especially with all the rituals, and beast transformations. Town is just a fun simple arcade experience which has its merits. I enjoy it, even though it is simple.
I definitely played town the most with my friends after school because it's just your classic survive map with all the perks you need and pap. One of us training down on the streets while the others camped near quick revive...lots of fun runs!
Whoever is reading this, I wanted to say I hope you have a great day and that God loves you so much that He sent His son, Jesus, to die on a cross for your sins and He rose again from the dead three days later. God Bless! And also, He doesn't want you to go to Hell, but He wants you to go to Heaven with Him but you have to be Saved. How do I get Saved you might ask? Here are the steps below on how to get Saved! 1. Believe that God sent His Son (Jesus) to die on a cross for your sins and that He rose again from the dead 3 days later. 2. Confess to Jesus that you are a sinner and ask forgiveness for your sins and Turn away from your sins. If you sin again after asking forgiveness of that sin, ask forgiveness again and try not to do it ever again. Jesus will forgive you! 3. Ask Jesus to come into your heart and your life and for Him to be your Lord and Savior forever. 4. Build a Personal Relationship with Jesus by Praying and Reading the Bible daily and Live for Him Forever. I'm Praying for you and you are loved (Romans 10:9-13)
Same here but when BO3 dropped we figured The Giant was by far the best map to play that casually. Unfortunately we entered college by that time so it wasn’t the same 😢
For me it was bus depot. I'm not even really sure why I think the idea of only having 1 life is a challenge I welcome and whenever I play by myself I find myself getting a little better everytime
True, it put me off for so long because I thought it was completely different to the original zombies I was used to but after becoming obsessed with it last summer I see what all the hype is about
Absolutely true. At launch, I never played it. I got into def eisendrache and the rest, but basically ignored shadows. After picking BO3 back up again last December, I became obsessed with shadows. WHAT A FUN MAP!
IDK why people get annoyed that PHD isn't on Die Rise its not like if you have it you wouldn't hit a death barrier and you have to actively try to die to fall damage in actual areas.
I believe it’s both about the lack or PhD and the lack of integrated design. So basically there should be less death barriers and more landable areas. Also why does it have the boring ass sweatshop area, almost vaguely racist now that I think about it. Like we’ve got this Asian themed map and need one more “biome” oh yeah a sweatshop everyone knows Asians and sweatshops are two peas in a pod. My only issue is it’s fuckin boring on an otherwise fairly attractive map
It’s not dying to fall damage that gets people. They don’t wanna be swarmed and have no health as soon as they hit the floor. Imagine your training a bunch of zombies and one spawns in a weird place forcing you to relocate, then while moving you fall off a ledge and take some damage, you are then a 2 shot to any zombie and if your on like round 50 any small minor mistake that you make costs you ur run. That’s the only reason phd flopper is a must on die rise🙏🙏

@@marioadan7751They aren’t. If I’m not mistaken ranking is 1 to whatever number and tier is S, A, B etc. If you were ranking drinks for example only one can be number one but in a tier multiple can be S tier.
I think it's also important to mention that Origins is the first map that every player gets a wonder weapon. One of the worst parts in a 4 player game is that you are very unlikely to get the "Thundergun", A good amount of Random lobbies consist of kids that leave the lobby when they don't get the wonder weapon. Origins changed that and is something that should appreciated.
@konombre965 buried only has the paralyzer, and only one person can get it even if you include the ray gun and the mk2, you still have one player who won't have a wonder weapon
Do a ranking on the zombies mode itself, like which one you like playing the most, has the best mechanics, introduced the best perks, had the best maps, etc.
You'll never get that link, he's done it because hes ranked basically everything there is to rank in every bit of zombies excluding the most recent and the black sheep from 2 years ago@@HimenoWYD
Gorod Krovi, ancient evil and ascension are some of my favorites. Zombies is such an enjoyable game. It’s so simple at face value and it can get so deep with its incredibly crafted story. Man I love zombies. I also miss it too :/
If this gets top comment I will do the zetsubou ee without gobble gums (besides anywhere but here obviously) edit: alr I’m doing it lol Edit 2: I died because of shitty rng trying to get the plane cog, progress is doing well! (No I didn’t get the upgraded Kt-4 yet) Edit 3: this is easily the most likes I’ve gotten on a comment, hopefully this next attempt is the one! FINAL EDIT: ITS DONE! Just got done calming down (its my second time beating this ee) ty guys! Also love ya Tim Okay ACTUAL FINAL EDIT: I can’t make a video on this since im on xbox and make videos on mobile, I can record my gameplay sadly, I can only post clips but even those suck
Die rise is one of my favorite maps. I find it so much more fun that the perks are random and the elevators are slow as well as the jumping being dangerous. It just makes zombies so much more challenging and fun to me. You have so much more to worry about than just the zombies. You have to actually think about how you’re going to traverse around the most efficient way. It’s just great. ( personal opinion)
die rise is probably my favorite bo2 map. it's far less of a chore to get setup on than mob and origins but isn't nearly as boring as tranzit and buried for high rounds. the shit people complain about when it comes to die rise just sounds like whining. i personally find origins to be obnoxiously tedious and the mud in the bo3 version is infinitely more annoying than fucking up a jump or missing an elevator on die rise. i'm of the opinion that zombies peaked with bo1 and has been going downhill ever since.

Just gonna suggest again: Buried the “Texas Red” Challenge. You can only use pistols, shotguns, bolt-action, and MUST get the Bowie Knife. No traps or buildales allowed. Perk order focuses on speed (stamin up, speed cola, and double tap come first as you’re the fastest gun in the West), with juggernog dead last. Figured this would be a unique challenge for ya Tim.
Great list! However I feel like lower ranking maps are way more fun playing co op with friends who know what their doing. But a lot of maps suck on solo suck bc of the lengthy setup some require. Me and my old bo2 crew often play zombies 10 years later

I love how in call of the dead it has arguably one of the worst wonder weapons in zombies but ironically is literally the only way possible to go high rounds Ladies and gentlemen: the VR-11
I love these lists!!! It really goes to show that for zombies, BO3 REALLY nailed things, not only 3 amazing originals maps but then just spoiled the fans with the remaster of the previous gen maps in a rather late DLC pack along with the remaster map The Giant which was made even easier with the BO3 rebalance of guns and perk mechanics. Seriously anyone who likes zombies and doesn't have BO3. pick it up.
The only thing it was missing was a Buried, Nuketown, and Mob remake. The three maps on BO2 that people actually really liked (besides Origins but it was added).
This is probably gonna sound nuts but gobble gum as a system drove me nuts and was confusing. Didn’t like the gambling aspect didn’t like how many existed especially with the most mediocre benefits. Which partially ruined bo3 for me, even though I coulda just never used them
32:45 is why Tim Hansen is my favorite youtuber, subtle yet entertaining commentary throughout this entire vid, hell this dude even inspired me to make zombies vids lol
That’s very true. Most of my memories of being absolutely sick of zombies but unable to accidentally die are Kino. It’s probably just the boring dreariness of the map design, look at ascension which is one of the easiest maps OAT doesn’t have that issue nearly as bad
@@monhi64 most played cos it came on disc and noobs could use the thundergun, but its just a watered-down Der Riese with a stage to train on. even Five has more stimulation but the winters howl sucks
It’s not possible for something like this to be purely objective, so I’m not sure what you are looking for. I think he’s trying to get across the point that he’s not ranking them purely on which maps he prefers, but is trying to base it on somewhat consistent criteria that isn’t just “I have more fun playing this one”
I have played COD zombies ONE TIME with my friends in high school. They took me into IX and gave me some of the greatest fun memories I’ve ever had in gaming as a whole. “A contender calls the champion of ____!”
Isn't it funny how we all just keep watching the same videos for the past several years just because we cant let go of something we love, which is definitely old fashioned and we should probably let go.
Yeah I've kinda let go since, sure I still like to hear about it and still play the old maps. They just don't make it the way they used to, so in that sense I've given up hope lol.
IX is an example of a map done right imo. I got BO4 in a bundle with my PS4 and didn't know what to expect. The arena area is such a good spot for training zombies and between the challenges to earn yourself a PaP'd pistol for free and all the weird easter eggs was pretty great. Not to mention the crowd reactions added a whole new layer
The only real flaw with die rise is having to wait for the elevators. You don’t need to know *how* to jump because all the jumps are the same, just sprint and jump in one direction and you’re set for all the ones you’ll need. I find for most people it’s a problem of *when* to jump and generally not knowing the map, resulting in a zombie hitting them mid-jump and falling to their deaths. Quite an easy map if you know what you’re doing, free perk every 5 rounds, trample steam to ease mobility and also kill zombies. Not to mention some pretty good wallbuys, PaP and jugg in fairly convenient locations (much better than other maps) and the best skybox in zombies.
I agree. I occasionally re-download black ops 2 just to play Die Rise and no other map. Die rise is too thight and split for a group, but you have just enough space to train zombies alone, also the sliquifier can help you do some camping. It has possibly the easiest training room ever, so the only problem will be sparingly using ammo with sliquifier, even if I just jump off after 40 rounds because I get bored. Who's who has an awesome jingle but it sucks, it would be much better if it would let you keep the effects of juggernog and quick revive to revive yourself faster and train zombies more easily. I don't mind the lack of Phd, I never used that perk in general
Zetsubou’s ambience, music, and setting are what makes it one of my personal favorites. When you load into the map and just take in everything and chill it’s so good and the skull room music takes you to another dimension. Very well deserved ranking.
Thank you Tim for not using the BS excuse of "Oh, well the devs didn't know how to properly make a zombies map, so objectively speaking the WAW Maps are mid-tier because they started the zombies franchise" and actually putting them where they belong; in the bottom of the tier list. Also seeing zets at #6 is fantastic! I'm glad someone with this much rapport in the zombies community recognizes how amazing Zetsubou is after you get good at it!
How is that a BS excuse… they’re definitely not the best maps but the feel of the maps give that zombies horror vibe to them. Verruckt to this day is still the freakiest map imo, Nacht has to get SOME credit because it DID start the franchise, like it or not. Shi is alright but Der Riese is always gonna be top tier. Yes they were limited & compared to what we have today (OBVIOUSLY) but putting nuketown remasters above the classics is a *sin* in my opinion.
@@adamxskg Think of it like this; if I were to ask you to rate the driving experience of every car (not the look, the feel) and rank them, nobody in their right mind would put cars from the 50s and 60s anywhere above low tier because their engineering was poor. Same with zombies; the engineering of the WaW maps is very subpar according to today’s standards. WaW maps just don’t play well in general.
@@VoiidAsp There's one problem with this though. The WaW ones were simple. The newer maps and such are very hostile to casual players or new players. I don't like playing treasure hunt for a specific thing to do something within the map, that can't already have used the money system like buying doors, or turning the power on and have characters vocalize what to do instead of hitting the wiki. One could argue that the car analogy isn't quite right either. Many modern new cars are bloated with many buttons and gadgets that makes it intimidating to many people. Cars from the 50s and 60s you could just put the key in and go like any other from that time. Not all, but most were more user friendly. Some cars nowadays won't even come with oil dipsticks, or a way to open the hood unless you want to void your warranty, and nobody in their right mind could call that "better" because it takes out a key step in an owners due diligence to make sure it's still road worthy and safe for the driver and passengers. Engineering was not per say "poor" back then either. Less technology advanced, yes, but not poor on the engineering aside from a handful of models. I can say that objectively a 94 nissan hardbody is better than a 2022 silverado for the simple fact that the bloated technology makes it objectively worse than the nissan. The Silverado thereof had a problem causing "limp mode". Look into it when you get the time. You cannot call that a workhorse if that or anything else happens that heavily takes away the actual uses of what the vehicle was designed to do....even if they wanted it to break down on you to extract more cash from the consumers. He has his reasoning for sure, but I think this is still from a specific perspective. Simplicity can go a long way, and rating the maps based on how much content they have would put Tranzit at number 1, or Moon or Shadows of Evil there. We know that's not true. Same for his low ranking of the WaW maps. He didn't even bring up the fact that the original Nacht has a different zombie AI that is quite different. It made it much more tolerable being in CQB. I agree with his Bus Depot placement because it's just a section from a much bigger and worse map, and kept "remasters" out of the bunch for the sake of the list not being too bloated with copy pastes. But with WaW maps, they are just cut up sections of the campaign. But nearly everyone can understand what to do and essentially complete what there is to do, while seeing how far you can get.....which is an entire point of zombies that seems forgotten nowadays. Kino is a timeless example. Simple enough that anyone can hop on, intriguing enough for hardened players, and can be replayed over and over, while not have you questioning if "thing A" could have been left out, or added in. I can say that in SoE. Like wtf are these bugs and aliens doing in a zombie shooter? How the hell do I open this door? Why can't this power be turned on? Why do the guns look like they vape and drink cyberpunk monster? It's not like the character monologs help with that. In MotD, the characters make that apparent, and they actually built a map that made the objective clear for most people to hop in. Sure MotD is still on the technical side, but it's not that hard since it is mimicking an actual irl event, but with a plane and has been a story cliché for a long while that most can relate or understand....unlike the Apothicons and Dark Aether storyline that requires a dregree in archeology. I'm still not saying that the WaW ones are S tier, but I'm not going to say they are F teir either. They are the good, no extra hidden fees gameplay good. Story relevance shouldn't be a concern for teir listing because it's not the main goal of the gamemode. You play multiplayer to kill other players, not work together on your team to find out the mysterys hidden within the map that could be related to the other maps to unlock a temporary camping spot after finding the 7 golden rocks and putting them in a garden to give out a killstreak because that's the story how Billy Bob saved Hawaii from WW4 fallout because the last map in the lineup hinted that Billy Bob was the chosen one or some shhh..... all while still fighting the other enemy team players. It's just not that simple to rate the CoD Zombies maps because it's apples, oranges and some dragon fruits we are looking at.
Even though I understand they’re all barebone, Diner/Bus Depot aren’t on the same level as Verrukt or Nacht in my opinion but I respect you putting yours out there and I enjoyed the watch!
Buried is always gonna be my favorite only because you can do money glitches in the bank and start everyone off set up. Plus all 4 players can get ahold of the paralyzer.
I would honestly want see you rank non treyarch some time when you play the majority of them. I myself would want to do a retrospective of my favorite out of all of them which is iw. And with the final map ranked as Der Eisendrache I would honestly agree. De made so many things simpler so that you can setup without juggling the main basic like power and the wonder weapons. The bows add a more dynamic and honestly fun map where you can survive until you reach the max round or your game crashes. The transportation of the map with the jump pads also adds a more easier transportation than the god awful tranzit. And the keeper boss battle being the first ever adds a challenge when you finish the Easter egg.
I don’t even watch many zombies related RUclips videos anymore but I seen our ho Tim pop up and had to watch it’s just too nostalgic 😂 thanks for the upload siiir
It’s funny. I stopped playing zombies after bo2 really because I started playing other games. Looking back, I hated transit. But years later the nostalgia definitely redeems it. Also about Die Rise, that map is dope
I honestly really appreciate five now. You can train in the main area where you flip the def con switches and as long as you have mustang and Sally as a backup for the thief you can go forever really nice area to train
0:36 do a ranking based on how much they introduce. Example would be that the gaint (bo3) would be in F tier because it didn’t do introduce anything and a map like tranzit would be in s tier for introducing stuff like buildables, new characters, a new boss, and super easter egg, a wonder weapon, a bunch of guns, lava, new transport second use building spots and double pack a punch ( yes bo2 has double pack on the maps except origins and mob). Edit: you could also do one on challenges and based on how hard they are with stuff like the alphabet challenge (you use a gun that has the same letter/ number as the round) being like A or B and 1 box and 1 wall gun being like F or E
Though I do not agree to 100%, obviously. Your list still persists 111% respected by me. As you make everything SO CLEAR that the amount of quality that's been put into these very different but so very beautiful maps, is the absolute definition of what made the zombies gamemode so thrilling, inspiring, nostalgic ans just so much fun of an experience. Thank you Tim for the quick reminder as well as giving your perspective on the maps. Much love!
I’m so hurt seeing the hate on blood of the dead, to me I find the Easter so cool even tho it is preettty challenging and the cut scene🥹 and the enlargement on mob of the dead aaaaand the graphics to me it’s slightly too difficult but it’s so good
This video’s making me realize how different some people’s opinions can be on zombies. There are some wild placements on here like Zetsubou at number six, but hey as long as you enjoy what you’re playing then who am I to object.
I’ve grown to like Five for the most part. I recently came to find out that doing this map on solo gives me a relatively easy tactic of running around the war room while a massive horde of zombies are trailing behind you. I’d use my sprinting sparingly in the beginning of higher rounds when some zombies are approaching ahead of me and quickly burst past them. So long as I had the right type of rapid fire guns &/or the Wolf’s Howl, it makes for a decent hit & run tactic for me at least.
I personally liked bus depot it’s a deserved 30 or lower but last place I think is too low me and my friends would play this and town whenever we wanted a quick game cause we couldn’t afford any of the other maps
so happy that I was being able to grind bo2 and bo3 zombies with the boys. high rounds, eastereggs and reaching lvl 1000 back in the day. witnessing prime zombies first hand was so amazing before our gaming group fell apart
Seeing ZNS so high on a list that isnt my own makes me really happy. Always been my favorite map Whenever i go into a tierlist or something i always ask wherre this map is because people always rank it lower than it truly deserves
I love how in Black Ops 2, the first 3 zombies maps were absolute SHIT. But then immediately after, they released what is considered the best map by far: Mob of the Dead
After Mob came out, zombies had it’s resurgence. Then Buried and Origins carried on that momentum. It is crazy that Buried was a Victus map because it is the only good one.
shadows of evil will always be my favorite map, its literal perfection, the atmosphere, the gameplay, the map design, i've replayed it so many times and it never gets boring
I feel like town is perfect for just playing with your friends trying to survive as long as possible. Everything’s close and plenty of places to set up
How? Ascension is actually fun to high-round, better song, more and better perks, more interesting all around. Kino is great when you first start zombies and atmosphere, but gets old after a while.
@@tylere.8436 There’s definitely a few things that I like about ascension being PHD, the first main Easter egg, and the thundergun. Other than that though the monkeys are annoying and it’s arguably the easiest map of all time which makes it not fun to play.
@@tylere.8436 Kino is only nostalgia if most players started on a different map it would be at the bottom. The only good thing about kino is the atmosphere and the thundergun.
I’m so happy Zestubou is getting respect. I feel like the reason the map has such a long setup process is because there are no major threats on the map you have to prepare for. On the other maps in BO3, you typically have to prepare for a boss zombie of some kind, like the Panzer or Margwa, yet Zestubou has your only major threat be the Thrashers, which can be avoided by keeping a close eye on zombies that get close to spores. In a sense, the map is more relaxed than the other BO3 maps and encourages you to take your time setting up.
That’s not true at all. You encounter a thrasher when you open the bunker. Pretty sure it’s impossible to avoid. And when doing the skull rituals you will encounter multiple thrashers. Also thrashers just aren’t hard to kill during early rounds. Not a big threat at all. Also you encounter Margwas on pretty early rounds on Soe. If you know how to play the map well that is. You get one your second and fourth ritual I believe it is. Plus one after the pap ritual. I’m usually finishing all rituals by round 6 or 7. With classic gobble gums as well. You don’t really need to set up to kill the first Margwas. Same with manglers.
@@El-Masri You actually have to kill every zombie inside the bunker fast enough or else one spawns. Yes it’s possible but the average player won’t kill every zombie fast enough. My point still stands anyways. There’s a lot of thrashers that spawn when doing the skull ritual.
I am butthurt how much people dislike Cold War (or just think the other maps are better). It's literally the only game where you could run whatever you want because there isn't an unbeatable strategy. On all other maps, it was always; "spin the box, get the wonder weapon, survive 'til you die". But in Cold War, you could literally play anything you would want, and all would be the same power. Another thing I love about Cold War is replayability. Just like I said with the other maps, there is the optimal strat to follow. But in Cold War, where you can play with any weapon you want, you can unlock so many attachments and camos to differenciate your games. Other important things of note: - The Wunderfizz Machine update. Instead of rolling and seeing what weapon you get, you get to pick and buy your perks. - Triple Pack-A-Punch. As the game gets harder, there is still room for improvement to get to higher rounds. - Camos (mostly Dark Aether). Getting levels with a gun, and killing a certain amount of zombies in a perticular way, awards you with a camo. When you have all camos on a certain weapon, you get a 'golden' camo, which looks like scaly and dark greenish. Then if you get enough golden camos per weapon group (assault rifles, shotguns, etc.) you gain a 'diamond' camo for that weapon, which covers the whole gun in purple, metal looking camo. And getting diamond with each weapon group gives you the Dark Aether camo for all the guns you have gotten the golden and diamond camo on. Dark Aether camo being black and some parts (sometimes all) being an animated, cosmic looking camo. There is so much replayability, and stuff to do. Instead of simply surviving. Which is why I rather replay Cold War than Bo2 (MoB, Origins) as in the older games it was more like a Rogue Like (where you start a new game each time and get stronger) than a Rogue Lite in Cold War (where for each run you get stronger for the next run). But hey, that's just some stoopid swedes opinion.
Cold War is underrated now of days, I’d argue it was one of the best zombies we got. The only flaw it really has is the fact that there’s only 4 round based maps. I wish we got zombies chronicles 2 for it 😔
@@zaadus112 without a doubt, I find myself replaying those 4 maps very often. All of them are really good to the point where I can’t even decide which one I like most.
@@CiggyStardust27 Not only are the maps great, but the gameplay of BO:CW is just spectacular and very replayable. But my favorite is just the thought of getting DA on every weapon.
only thing that really pissed me off about cold war was how fucking long they took to release the maps and the fact that most maps were lacking that dark zombies aesthetic (except for mauer der toten) i wish we couldve actually gotten to roam around in the dark aether for longer or something cuz the aesthetic was way cooler
Veruckt shouldn't be so low. The fact that you can't pack or train isn't a bad thing, but a good thing. It's a hard map. It restricts you on purpose, and it's up to your sheer skill and quickness to advance
@@Bwekfast4lyfe but that makes the title "every zombies map" a complete bullshit, he could put Treyarch in it at least. They're all sucking on Treyarch and ignoring everything else, lol.
If you complain about Die Rise jumps, I invite you to look at your A button. It is one of the easiest maps out there. Having PhD would have broken the map due to a jump from the top to the bottom. I cannot agree with the opinion that Die Rise is bad when all complaints are easy fixes by players
Here’s some valid complaints. There’s no landmarks to navigate the map besides Buddha room and the roof. It’s a maze. The Easter egg for it sucks balls. The dog round is just re used novas that teleport basically. The characters suck balls. The elevator system was unironically just as bad as nuke towns and it’s very ugly to be honest as well. That being said if I only have an hour to play some zombies I’d choose die rise over mob as setting up is way quicker
As a big bo4 lover I feel like you really dont give the maps enough credit for their replayability and challenge they offer even for experienced zombie players. I agree that for people new to the mode a map like Dead of the Night can be extremely hard at first but because there is so much to do on all of these maps bo4 in my opinion has some of the most fun maps in zombies as a whole.
I’ve been playing a lot of bo1 zombies recently and remembering what a genuinely great game it is. Five deserves to be higher. I could train the 2nd floor and get to a ridiculously high round if I had the patience. Biggest downside is that the winters howl isn’t stronger
Best ranking video I’ve seen Opinions,ranking system,explanations, was cut to the chase quick but valid reasons…didn’t feel like I was watching this long of a clip. Great video loved it

This is a banger I know it
Do a most difficult map tier list assuming you have zero experience and can’t use any RUclips videos.
Love you too ❤️
Gonna say this again:
I'd love to see you rank - from worst to best - steps to get to Pack a Punch in every map starting Der Riese!

Thats a good one
This is a great idea. I'd love to see where SOE/MOTD fall on it, as I could understand putting them either really high or really low
liking this comment in the hopes that he'll see it
Good thought!!!
As a purely casual zombies player this is interesting. The things we look for in a map are wildly different as someone who just runs around until I die maps like Town are more fun because they are a lot easier to just jump into and play.
Ya, it's a hyper Zombies nerd opinion. They don't see the value in basic maps due their insane amount of time put into it. Can't really blame them at that point haha
You can see how something like that becomes dull quickly
@@1stKills if zombies isn't your main thing, then the survival maps are great for a session or two every now and again. People like Zombies RUclipsrs main the mode (obviously haha), so they would never really touch those maps beyond trying them out once or twice when they are released
@@booyashaka3182Doesn’t matter if you’re a casual or not, there’s a level of quality you can’t deny. Just the quotes of the characters and atmosphere of maps like Shadows and Mob out them in a league above Town, where you play as a random guy in a hazmat or suit.
@@vryyyxthat’s true but there is also a fun simplicity in Town. Very easy to just play without thinking too much. It’s hard to figure out maps like shadows of evil. Especially with all the rituals, and beast transformations. Town is just a fun simple arcade experience which has its merits. I enjoy it, even though it is simple.
I definitely played town the most with my friends after school because it's just your classic survive map with all the perks you need and pap. One of us training down on the streets while the others camped near quick revive...lots of fun runs!
we still do it till this day!
Whoever is reading this, I wanted to say I hope you have a great day and that God loves you so much that He sent His son, Jesus, to die on a cross for your sins and He rose again from the dead three days later. God Bless!
And also, He doesn't want you to go to Hell, but He wants you to go to Heaven with Him but you have to be Saved. How do I get Saved you might ask? Here are the steps below on how to get Saved!
1. Believe that God sent His Son
(Jesus) to die on a cross for your sins and that He rose again from the dead 3 days later.
2. Confess to Jesus that you are a sinner and ask forgiveness for your sins and Turn away from your sins. If you sin again after asking forgiveness of that sin, ask forgiveness again and try not to do it ever again. Jesus will forgive you!
3. Ask Jesus to come into your heart and your life and for Him to be your Lord and Savior forever.
4. Build a Personal Relationship with Jesus by Praying and Reading the Bible daily and Live for Him Forever.
I'm Praying for you and you are loved

Same here but when BO3 dropped we figured The Giant was by far the best map to play that casually. Unfortunately we entered college by that time so it wasn’t the same 😢
@@khalilsubahi1310dam bro how play bo3 kino instesd
For me it was bus depot. I'm not even really sure why I think the idea of only having 1 life is a challenge I welcome and whenever I play by myself I find myself getting a little better everytime
Only problem with shadows of evil, is that if you don't get the story behind it, it just seems like a big magical mess.
True, it put me off for so long because I thought it was completely different to the original zombies I was used to but after becoming obsessed with it last summer I see what all the hype is about
(it’s shit)
Absolutely true. At launch, I never played it. I got into def eisendrache and the rest, but basically ignored shadows. After picking BO3 back up again last December, I became obsessed with shadows. WHAT A FUN MAP!
@@regularperson5647kid shhhh it was goat
@@cardboard_shaftsaid nobody ever
IDK why people get annoyed that PHD isn't on Die Rise its not like if you have it you wouldn't hit a death barrier and you have to actively try to die to fall damage in actual areas.
I believe it’s both about the lack or PhD and the lack of integrated design. So basically there should be less death barriers and more landable areas. Also why does it have the boring ass sweatshop area, almost vaguely racist now that I think about it. Like we’ve got this Asian themed map and need one more “biome” oh yeah a sweatshop everyone knows Asians and sweatshops are two peas in a pod. My only issue is it’s fuckin boring on an otherwise fairly attractive map
It’s not dying to fall damage that gets people. They don’t wanna be swarmed and have no health as soon as they hit the floor. Imagine your training a bunch of zombies and one spawns in a weird place forcing you to relocate, then while moving you fall off a ledge and take some damage, you are then a 2 shot to any zombie and if your on like round 50 any small minor mistake that you make costs you ur run. That’s the only reason phd flopper is a must on die rise🙏🙏
Tim, once again, stepping up as the only hero on RUclips who understands the difference between a “ranking” and a “tier list”

@@futureflash6615you can still rank things by making a tier list. The ranking is literally rank S. Therefore it’s a ranking.
I think it's also important to mention that Origins is the first map that every player gets a wonder weapon.
One of the worst parts in a 4 player game is that you are very unlikely to get the "Thundergun", A good amount of Random lobbies consist of kids that leave the lobby when they don't get the wonder weapon.
Origins changed that and is something that should appreciated.
Buried
@konombre965 buried only has the paralyzer, and only one person can get it
even if you include the ray gun and the mk2, you still have one player who won't have a wonder weapon

Die rise is one of my favorite maps. I find it so much more fun that the perks are random and the elevators are slow as well as the jumping being dangerous. It just makes zombies so much more challenging and fun to me. You have so much more to worry about than just the zombies. You have to actually think about how you’re going to traverse around the most efficient way. It’s just great. ( personal opinion)
I like random perks on nuketown as well
Its terrible but I get your point
Die Rise is so awful that I considered placing it below Transit smh
die rise is probably my favorite bo2 map. it's far less of a chore to get setup on than mob and origins but isn't nearly as boring as tranzit and buried for high rounds. the shit people complain about when it comes to die rise just sounds like whining. i personally find origins to be obnoxiously tedious and the mud in the bo3 version is infinitely more annoying than fucking up a jump or missing an elevator on die rise. i'm of the opinion that zombies peaked with bo1 and has been going downhill ever since.
@@DougWarner25 TranZit and Die Rise are fun. I'd rather play a map than play no map at all.

Great list! However I feel like lower ranking maps are way more fun playing co op with friends who know what their doing. But a lot of maps suck on solo suck bc of the lengthy setup some require. Me and my old bo2 crew often play zombies 10 years later

Same. It so fun in a masochistic way. I actually love the atmosphere😊
Same man
Same. How are all the cold war maps more interesting i don´t get it
This has struck my binge search for lengthy zombies ranking videos very well
I love how in call of the dead it has arguably one of the worst wonder weapons in zombies but ironically is literally the only way possible to go high rounds
Ladies and gentlemen: the VR-11
I love these lists!!! It really goes to show that for zombies, BO3 REALLY nailed things, not only 3 amazing originals maps but then just spoiled the fans with the remaster of the previous gen maps in a rather late DLC pack along with the remaster map The Giant which was made even easier with the BO3 rebalance of guns and perk mechanics. Seriously anyone who likes zombies and doesn't have BO3. pick it up.
4 amazing original maps and one decent original map(Rev)*
@oldbenkenobi9859 exactly, ZNS is an awesome map too
The only thing it was missing was a Buried, Nuketown, and Mob remake. The three maps on BO2 that people actually really liked (besides Origins but it was added).
This is probably gonna sound nuts but gobble gum as a system drove me nuts and was confusing. Didn’t like the gambling aspect didn’t like how many existed especially with the most mediocre benefits. Which partially ruined bo3 for me, even though I coulda just never used them
32:45 is why Tim Hansen is my favorite youtuber, subtle yet entertaining commentary throughout this entire vid, hell this dude even inspired me to make zombies vids lol
Poorly disguised channel advertisement. No one cares about your videos
After 20 mins of Kino, I feel like watching paint dry... after 20 mins of Call of the Dead, Shangri-la, and Moon this isn't an issue.
That’s very true. Most of my memories of being absolutely sick of zombies but unable to accidentally die are Kino. It’s probably just the boring dreariness of the map design, look at ascension which is one of the easiest maps OAT doesn’t have that issue nearly as bad
I’m sure that the fact that it’s one of the most played maps in zombies is also a factor
@@monhi64 most played cos it came on disc and noobs could use the thundergun, but its just a watered-down Der Riese with a stage to train on. even Five has more stimulation but the winters howl sucks
When he said "In the battlefields of the great war" I just about lost it. It hit sohard and deep that I cried laughing.
Tim: this is purely objective
*proceeds to have a significant amount of bias*
what did you expect from Tim tbh
That sarcasm wasn't obvious?,
@@kurisu2847He says it like 7 times in the vid, didn’t sound like sarcasm a single time.
Opinions are like aholes they all stink
It’s not possible for something like this to be purely objective, so I’m not sure what you are looking for. I think he’s trying to get across the point that he’s not ranking them purely on which maps he prefers, but is trying to base it on somewhat consistent criteria that isn’t just “I have more fun playing this one”
I have played COD zombies ONE TIME with my friends in high school. They took me into IX and gave me some of the greatest fun memories I’ve ever had in gaming as a whole.
“A contender calls the champion of ____!”
"THE CONTENDER DEMANDS ANOTHER!"
Isn't it funny how we all just keep watching the same videos for the past several years just because we cant let go of something we love, which is definitely old fashioned and we should probably let go.
Yeah I've kinda let go since, sure I still like to hear about it and still play the old maps. They just don't make it the way they used to, so in that sense I've given up hope lol.
IKR
It's so addicting though, but yeah I stopped with BO3 and moved on from COD. I still love to play BO1 Zombies, the best.
worst part is they could bring it all back. Just make the maps like they use to. They instead choose to make shit cash grabs.
IX is an example of a map done right imo. I got BO4 in a bundle with my PS4 and didn't know what to expect. The arena area is such a good spot for training zombies and between the challenges to earn yourself a PaP'd pistol for free and all the weird easter eggs was pretty great. Not to mention the crowd reactions added a whole new layer
Every time I feel like it’s been too long since the last video, Tim blesses the RUclips feed with an upload
Putting Nacht Der Untoten as the 2nd worst map of all time while saying the list is based on the maps value to the series is mad
Nacht is in such a weird spot. It started everything but at the same time, playing again with everything we have now, it’s seriously lacking
It literally started cod zombies yet he ranks it at second worst @@christopherchartier3017

11:15 Tim turned into Chills 😂
The only real flaw with die rise is having to wait for the elevators. You don’t need to know *how* to jump because all the jumps are the same, just sprint and jump in one direction and you’re set for all the ones you’ll need. I find for most people it’s a problem of *when* to jump and generally not knowing the map, resulting in a zombie hitting them mid-jump and falling to their deaths. Quite an easy map if you know what you’re doing, free perk every 5 rounds, trample steam to ease mobility and also kill zombies. Not to mention some pretty good wallbuys, PaP and jugg in fairly convenient locations (much better than other maps) and the best skybox in zombies.
I agree. I occasionally re-download black ops 2 just to play Die Rise and no other map. Die rise is too thight and split for a group, but you have just enough space to train zombies alone, also the sliquifier can help you do some camping. It has possibly the easiest training room ever, so the only problem will be sparingly using ammo with sliquifier, even if I just jump off after 40 rounds because I get bored. Who's who has an awesome jingle but it sucks, it would be much better if it would let you keep the effects of juggernog and quick revive to revive yourself faster and train zombies more easily. I don't mind the lack of Phd, I never used that perk in general
BO4 truly had probably some of my favorites in X, DOTN, and AE, should’ve just never done aeither
Ahh yes the 45th Tim Hansen “ALL ZOMBIE MAPS RANKED”
Zetsubou’s ambience, music, and setting are what makes it one of my personal favorites. When you load into the map and just take in everything and chill it’s so good and the skull room music takes you to another dimension. Very well deserved ranking.

Thank you Tim for not using the BS excuse of "Oh, well the devs didn't know how to properly make a zombies map, so objectively speaking the WAW Maps are mid-tier because they started the zombies franchise" and actually putting them where they belong; in the bottom of the tier list. Also seeing zets at #6 is fantastic! I'm glad someone with this much rapport in the zombies community recognizes how amazing Zetsubou is after you get good at it!
How is that a BS excuse… they’re definitely not the best maps but the feel of the maps give that zombies horror vibe to them. Verruckt to this day is still the freakiest map imo, Nacht has to get SOME credit because it DID start the franchise, like it or not. Shi is alright but Der Riese is always gonna be top tier. Yes they were limited & compared to what we have today (OBVIOUSLY) but putting nuketown remasters above the classics is a *sin* in my opinion.
@@adamxskg Think of it like this; if I were to ask you to rate the driving experience of every car (not the look, the feel) and rank them, nobody in their right mind would put cars from the 50s and 60s anywhere above low tier because their engineering was poor. Same with zombies; the engineering of the WaW maps is very subpar according to today’s standards. WaW maps just don’t play well in general.
@@VoiidAsp There's one problem with this though. The WaW ones were simple. The newer maps and such are very hostile to casual players or new players. I don't like playing treasure hunt for a specific thing to do something within the map, that can't already have used the money system like buying doors, or turning the power on and have characters vocalize what to do instead of hitting the wiki.
One could argue that the car analogy isn't quite right either. Many modern new cars are bloated with many buttons and gadgets that makes it intimidating to many people. Cars from the 50s and 60s you could just put the key in and go like any other from that time. Not all, but most were more user friendly. Some cars nowadays won't even come with oil dipsticks, or a way to open the hood unless you want to void your warranty, and nobody in their right mind could call that "better" because it takes out a key step in an owners due diligence to make sure it's still road worthy and safe for the driver and passengers. Engineering was not per say "poor" back then either. Less technology advanced, yes, but not poor on the engineering aside from a handful of models. I can say that objectively a 94 nissan hardbody is better than a 2022 silverado for the simple fact that the bloated technology makes it objectively worse than the nissan. The Silverado thereof had a problem causing "limp mode". Look into it when you get the time. You cannot call that a workhorse if that or anything else happens that heavily takes away the actual uses of what the vehicle was designed to do....even if they wanted it to break down on you to extract more cash from the consumers.
He has his reasoning for sure, but I think this is still from a specific perspective. Simplicity can go a long way, and rating the maps based on how much content they have would put Tranzit at number 1, or Moon or Shadows of Evil there. We know that's not true. Same for his low ranking of the WaW maps. He didn't even bring up the fact that the original Nacht has a different zombie AI that is quite different. It made it much more tolerable being in CQB. I agree with his Bus Depot placement because it's just a section from a much bigger and worse map, and kept "remasters" out of the bunch for the sake of the list not being too bloated with copy pastes.
But with WaW maps, they are just cut up sections of the campaign. But nearly everyone can understand what to do and essentially complete what there is to do, while seeing how far you can get.....which is an entire point of zombies that seems forgotten nowadays. Kino is a timeless example. Simple enough that anyone can hop on, intriguing enough for hardened players, and can be replayed over and over, while not have you questioning if "thing A" could have been left out, or added in. I can say that in SoE. Like wtf are these bugs and aliens doing in a zombie shooter? How the hell do I open this door? Why can't this power be turned on? Why do the guns look like they vape and drink cyberpunk monster? It's not like the character monologs help with that. In MotD, the characters make that apparent, and they actually built a map that made the objective clear for most people to hop in. Sure MotD is still on the technical side, but it's not that hard since it is mimicking an actual irl event, but with a plane and has been a story cliché for a long while that most can relate or understand....unlike the Apothicons and Dark Aether storyline that requires a dregree in archeology.
I'm still not saying that the WaW ones are S tier, but I'm not going to say they are F teir either. They are the good, no extra hidden fees gameplay good. Story relevance shouldn't be a concern for teir listing because it's not the main goal of the gamemode. You play multiplayer to kill other players, not work together on your team to find out the mysterys hidden within the map that could be related to the other maps to unlock a temporary camping spot after finding the 7 golden rocks and putting them in a garden to give out a killstreak because that's the story how Billy Bob saved Hawaii from WW4 fallout because the last map in the lineup hinted that Billy Bob was the chosen one or some shhh..... all while still fighting the other enemy team players.
It's just not that simple to rate the CoD Zombies maps because it's apples, oranges and some dragon fruits we are looking at.
@@seaweeb2258 I ain’t reading allat 💀
Even though I understand they’re all barebone, Diner/Bus Depot aren’t on the same level as Verrukt or Nacht in my opinion but I respect you putting yours out there and I enjoyed the watch!
It would be cool if COD made a zombies map based on Vorkuda
Buried is always gonna be my favorite only because you can do money glitches in the bank and start everyone off set up. Plus all 4 players can get ahold of the paralyzer.
Im glad to see Zetsubou this high, im a Zetsubou lover its my favorit map of all time and seeing ZNS this high made me happy. Keep up the good work!
I was afraid that’d it be the most typical ranking after he put Tranzit and Die Rise at the very bottom but im glad ZNS got the praise it deserves.
@@Quad373...do you actually like transit?
Watching tim hansen while doing summer homework. Meanwhile the nostalgia this guy gives me is giving me the best dopamine boost.
I would honestly want see you rank non treyarch some time when you play the majority of them. I myself would want to do a retrospective of my favorite out of all of them which is iw. And with the final map ranked as Der Eisendrache I would honestly agree. De made so many things simpler so that you can setup without juggling the main basic like power and the wonder weapons. The bows add a more dynamic and honestly fun map where you can survive until you reach the max round or your game crashes. The transportation of the map with the jump pads also adds a more easier transportation than the god awful tranzit. And the keeper boss battle being the first ever adds a challenge when you finish the Easter egg.
I don’t even watch many zombies related RUclips videos anymore but I seen our ho Tim pop up and had to watch it’s just too nostalgic 😂 thanks for the upload siiir
You should rank smgs or ARs one day I feel like that would be cool
It’s funny. I stopped playing zombies after bo2 really because I started playing other games. Looking back, I hated transit. But years later the nostalgia definitely redeems it. Also about Die Rise, that map is dope
I honestly really appreciate five now. You can train in the main area where you flip the def con switches and as long as you have mustang and Sally as a backup for the thief you can go forever really nice area to train
0:36 do a ranking based on how much they introduce. Example would be that the gaint (bo3) would be in F tier because it didn’t do introduce anything and a map like tranzit would be in s tier for introducing stuff like buildables, new characters, a new boss, and super easter egg, a wonder weapon, a bunch of guns, lava, new transport second use building spots and double pack a punch ( yes bo2 has double pack on the maps except origins and mob).
Edit: you could also do one on challenges and based on how hard they are with stuff like the alphabet challenge (you use a gun that has the same letter/ number as the round) being like A or B and 1 box and 1 wall gun being like F or E
The giant introduced the annihalator and the easter egg to get staminup or deadshot
Shi no numa is places beautifully. Truly one of the most influential zombies maps ever for a variety of reasons. 39:19
as an OG, seeing mob of the dead only third really effected me (really good video btw)
I honestly thought Tim was just going to put it in first again as he always did so I wasn't really expecting any surprises from this video
Though I do not agree to 100%, obviously. Your list still persists 111% respected by me. As you make everything SO CLEAR that the amount of quality that's been put into these very different but so very beautiful maps, is the absolute definition of what made the zombies gamemode so thrilling, inspiring, nostalgic ans just so much fun of an experience. Thank you Tim for the quick reminder as well as giving your perspective on the maps. Much love!
I’m so hurt seeing the hate on blood of the dead, to me I find the Easter so cool even tho it is preettty challenging and the cut scene🥹 and the enlargement on mob of the dead aaaaand the graphics to me it’s slightly too difficult but it’s so good
This video’s making me realize how different some people’s opinions can be on zombies. There are some wild placements on here like Zetsubou at number six, but hey as long as you enjoy what you’re playing then who am I to object.
Nah that placement was a W
I enjoy the maps that are not to big and not small
I’ve grown to like Five for the most part. I recently came to find out that doing this map on solo gives me a relatively easy tactic of running around the war room while a massive horde of zombies are trailing behind you.
I’d use my sprinting sparingly in the beginning of higher rounds when some zombies are approaching ahead of me and quickly burst past them. So long as I had the right type of rapid fire guns &/or the Wolf’s Howl, it makes for a decent hit & run tactic for me at least.
I personally liked bus depot it’s a deserved 30 or lower but last place I think is too low me and my friends would play this and town whenever we wanted a quick game cause we couldn’t afford any of the other maps
so happy that I was being able to grind bo2 and bo3 zombies with the boys. high rounds, eastereggs and reaching lvl 1000 back in the day. witnessing prime zombies first hand was so amazing before our gaming group fell apart
Seeing ZNS so high on a list that isnt my own makes me really happy. Always been my favorite map
Whenever i go into a tierlist or something i always ask wherre this map is because people always rank it lower than it truly deserves
I love how in Black Ops 2, the first 3 zombies maps were absolute SHIT. But then immediately after, they released what is considered the best map by far: Mob of the Dead
After Mob came out, zombies had it’s resurgence. Then Buried and Origins carried on that momentum. It is crazy that Buried was a Victus map because it is the only good one.
shadows of evil will always be my favorite map, its literal perfection, the atmosphere, the gameplay, the map design, i've replayed it so many times and it never gets boring
I'd like to see you cover survival mode from MW3. Its not zombies but still a decent take on a horde defense mode
Him foot lettuce’ing Alpha Omega is kinda hilarious
I know we all have our personal opinions, but putting Nacht Der Untoten as #35 is completely outrageous…
I feel like town is perfect for just playing with your friends trying to survive as long as possible. Everything’s close and plenty of places to set up
Putting Ascension above Kino should be considered a crime. Never cook again
Putting both of those maps high is a crime! Ascension is way too easy and boring and kino is all nostalgia.
How? Ascension is actually fun to high-round, better song, more and better perks, more interesting all around. Kino is great when you first start zombies and atmosphere, but gets old after a while.
@@tylere.8436 There’s definitely a few things that I like about ascension being PHD, the first main Easter egg, and the thundergun. Other than that though the monkeys are annoying and it’s arguably the easiest map of all time which makes it not fun to play.
@@tylere.8436 Kino is only nostalgia if most players started on a different map it would be at the bottom. The only good thing about kino is the atmosphere and the thundergun.
As much as people love and remember Nacht, it defiantly lives up to its name as the "First" Zombies Map
I’m so happy Zestubou is getting respect. I feel like the reason the map has such a long setup process is because there are no major threats on the map you have to prepare for. On the other maps in BO3, you typically have to prepare for a boss zombie of some kind, like the Panzer or Margwa, yet Zestubou has your only major threat be the Thrashers, which can be avoided by keeping a close eye on zombies that get close to spores.
In a sense, the map is more relaxed than the other BO3 maps and encourages you to take your time setting up.
That’s not true at all. You encounter a thrasher when you open the bunker. Pretty sure it’s impossible to avoid. And when doing the skull rituals you will encounter multiple thrashers. Also thrashers just aren’t hard to kill during early rounds. Not a big threat at all.
Also you encounter Margwas on pretty early rounds on Soe. If you know how to play the map well that is. You get one your second and fourth ritual I believe it is. Plus one after the pap ritual. I’m usually finishing all rituals by round 6 or 7. With classic gobble gums as well.
You don’t really need to set up to kill the first Margwas. Same with manglers.
@@OldBenKenobi2318barn
That map is ass.
@@OldBenKenobi2318you literally kill the zombie before he turns into a thrasher, after you open the bunker. It is 100% avoidable
@@El-Masri You actually have to kill every zombie inside the bunker fast enough or else one spawns. Yes it’s possible but the average player won’t kill every zombie fast enough.
My point still stands anyways. There’s a lot of thrashers that spawn when doing the skull ritual.
Infinite Warfare and WWII had cool zombies. Everything was different enough from one another, and the EE’s were goated
I am butthurt how much people dislike Cold War (or just think the other maps are better). It's literally the only game where you could run whatever you want because there isn't an unbeatable strategy. On all other maps, it was always; "spin the box, get the wonder weapon, survive 'til you die". But in Cold War, you could literally play anything you would want, and all would be the same power.
Another thing I love about Cold War is replayability. Just like I said with the other maps, there is the optimal strat to follow. But in Cold War, where you can play with any weapon you want, you can unlock so many attachments and camos to differenciate your games.
Other important things of note:
- The Wunderfizz Machine update. Instead of rolling and seeing what weapon you get, you get to pick and buy your perks.
- Triple Pack-A-Punch. As the game gets harder, there is still room for improvement to get to higher rounds.
- Camos (mostly Dark Aether). Getting levels with a gun, and killing a certain amount of zombies in a perticular way, awards you with a camo. When you have all camos on a certain weapon, you get a 'golden' camo, which looks like scaly and dark greenish. Then if you get enough golden camos per weapon group (assault rifles, shotguns, etc.) you gain a 'diamond' camo for that weapon, which covers the whole gun in purple, metal looking camo. And getting diamond with each weapon group gives you the Dark Aether camo for all the guns you have gotten the golden and diamond camo on. Dark Aether camo being black and some parts (sometimes all) being an animated, cosmic looking camo.
There is so much replayability, and stuff to do. Instead of simply surviving. Which is why I rather replay Cold War than Bo2 (MoB, Origins) as in the older games it was more like a Rogue Like (where you start a new game each time and get stronger) than a Rogue Lite in Cold War (where for each run you get stronger for the next run).
But hey, that's just some stoopid swedes opinion.
Cold War is underrated now of days, I’d argue it was one of the best zombies we got. The only flaw it really has is the fact that there’s only 4 round based maps. I wish we got zombies chronicles 2 for it 😔
@@CiggyStardust27 But those four maps are really good. Mauer der toten is my least favorite but it's a beautiful map.
@@zaadus112 without a doubt, I find myself replaying those 4 maps very often. All of them are really good to the point where I can’t even decide which one I like most.
@@CiggyStardust27 Not only are the maps great, but the gameplay of BO:CW is just spectacular and very replayable. But my favorite is just the thought of getting DA on every weapon.
only thing that really pissed me off about cold war was how fucking long they took to release the maps and the fact that most maps were lacking that dark zombies aesthetic (except for mauer der toten) i wish we couldve actually gotten to roam around in the dark aether for longer or something cuz the aesthetic was way cooler
I like how Tim did his best impression of the top 15’s guy when he got to rank. 30 😂😂
Veruckt shouldn't be so low. The fact that you can't pack or train isn't a bad thing, but a good thing. It's a hard map. It restricts you on purpose, and it's up to your sheer skill and quickness to advance
It's mostly based on how primitive it is
This could be because I’m what one might call a casual zombies player but this list just seems like absolute madness to me
I feel like Nacht should be higher, I know that within your parameters it wouldn't be but I feel like so many people sleep on just surviving
Ah yes, another "every map" video not ranking every map
Which one did he missed ?
@@Arkimikarus240Literally all non Treyarch games lmao
@@mister_widehe said he ain’t gonna do them 💀
@@Bwekfast4lyfe but that makes the title "every zombies map" a complete bullshit, he could put Treyarch in it at least. They're all sucking on Treyarch and ignoring everything else, lol.
@@mister_wide buddy he only likes treyrach
Der Eisendrache is so good bro, Dr.Grove on the mic, the bossfight, bows. So good
yo bro i feel like we have never really seen your opinion on easter eggs before so why not do a every easter egg from worst to best
The burger king foot lettuce voice killed me 😂
If you complain about Die Rise jumps, I invite you to look at your A button. It is one of the easiest maps out there. Having PhD would have broken the map due to a jump from the top to the bottom. I cannot agree with the opinion that Die Rise is bad when all complaints are easy fixes by players
Here’s some valid complaints. There’s no landmarks to navigate the map besides Buddha room and the roof. It’s a maze. The Easter egg for it sucks balls. The dog round is just re used novas that teleport basically. The characters suck balls. The elevator system was unironically just as bad as nuke towns and it’s very ugly to be honest as well. That being said if I only have an hour to play some zombies I’d choose die rise over mob as setting up is way quicker
Really well done video essay 🙌
Might be one of Tim’s top videos
Also.. ima have to disagree with the blood of the dead placement 😩
As a big bo4 lover I feel like you really dont give the maps enough credit for their replayability and challenge they offer even for experienced zombie players. I agree that for people new to the mode a map like Dead of the Night can be extremely hard at first but because there is so much to do on all of these maps bo4 in my opinion has some of the most fun maps in zombies as a whole.
I’ve been playing a lot of bo1 zombies recently and remembering what a genuinely great game it is. Five deserves to be higher. I could train the 2nd floor and get to a ridiculously high round if I had the patience. Biggest downside is that the winters howl isn’t stronger
Whos here before the vid turned public (its unlisted rn)
I love how when he says tranzit he’s playing town
Best map is town
Nah
They need to remaster town and open up that bowling 🎳 alley and add new perks
Would love to see an updated wonder weapon or perk a colas ranking list!
So nacht is apparently worse than maps like transit, die rise, blood of the dead and is right next to bus depot? What kind of crack you smokin?
Well, yeah, it is boring AF, being nostalgic and the first in the series doesn't give it a divine status
Pay attention to what he said about how he’s rating these maps .
Best ranking video I’ve seen
Opinions,ranking system,explanations, was cut to the chase quick but valid reasons…didn’t feel like I was watching this long of a clip. Great video loved it
I like die rise tho
ok and?
It’s not the greatest it’s mid at best
