The ULTIMATE Call Of Duty Zombies Retrospective
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 июн 2024
- Yes, this is what I've been working on relentlessly for the past months. Call of duty zombies is a game mode that has a very special place in my heart. So I thought it was only appropriate to look back on all the different iterations, and give my thoughts and opinions on how the games evolved. I was considering splitting the video up into parts, but I personally prefer this long form content, although I have left timestamps to the different games.
0:00 - World at War
31:38 - Black Ops
1:18:14 - Black Ops 2
2:35:10 - Exo Zombies
2:41:26 - Black Ops 3
3:55:17 - Infinite Warfare
4:01:46 - WWII
4:04:04 - Black Ops 4
5:29:23 - Cold War
5:59:45 - Vanguard

I still remember playing Kino De Toten and getting the thunder gun for the first time, and my friend saying "Dude, what would happen if you pack a punched it?" and screaming as we discovered the Zeus Cannon. Simpler times, man
then you you all figured out how to duplicate, triplicate and quaddruplicate the thunder gun and everyone got to upgrade it.... those were INSANE times. miss them
True
shame kino is and was booty
@@barlo90 I personally love kino, what makes you not like it very much?
Nowadays we avoid pack a punching thunda
This 6 hour long retrospective goes along perfectly with the 6 hour long story explanation video
nice name
Just finished the story video, now I'm going to watch this
ur not wrong
I can't seem to find his story video. Link please?
@@Arkhamlover14 he didn't make it an other guy did but it's still a great video

As terrifying as it was for 8 year old me at the time, I will never regret sitting through the credits of WaW and suddenly ending up in a boarded up building surround by darkness and ominous fog as zombies started tearing down all the barriers and all I had was a 1911. That memory will always stay with me.
Same here with a friend we thought we could beat it also there was that thing that if you got high enough a Hitler zombie would show up it was all over the clickbaity RUclips at the time we were fully invested
I quit out the game when you spawn in and hear the laugh, freaked me tf out
I know this is old but it reminds me of my childhood friend who had rich parents always buy him the console, games and DLC’s. When the first expansion came out his mom bought it and we grinded der reise for like 15 hours straight. He was moving across the country in like a month at that point so she let me stay over for like 4 days and we just gamed and had fun. Still miss the feeling of OG zombies being fresh and I miss my boy Cade
World at War came out a couple weeks before my 8th birthday, and my dad got it for me (pretty irresponsible, I know.) Finishing the campaign and being placed into Nacht for the first time quite literally changed my life. I am 23 now and I've been playing Zombies ever since

I can see why transit was so heavily disliked but the glitch where you could get 8 people into the game made the map so good. It was insane having 8 of ur mates all running around the same zombies map. The best part was only the host had to stay in the game for it to run so if one friend had to drop it would be fine and someone else could join. I remember being the host a couple times and ending up with friends of friends etc… being in the game.
WHAT
@@aguywithamustache9819 8 people glitch.......made tranzit one of the most unique and fun expiriences of all time
Simpler times
WAIT WHAT
The problem though is that is judging the map off of not it's own quality but your enjoyment. One is objective and the other is not. Though that does sound like a lot of fun. The glitch does not make the map good. It's still a bad map, but the glitch made it more fun
@billcipher8942 It actually did make the map better to some extent. Tranzit is a big map, so more manpower is essential. You don't need to take the bus to do objectives, because some other person was already at the location.
This one for the books.
Huhuh
That was textbook
This IS the book.

I kinda wish more of the easter eggs were possible solo. It was hard as hell trying to get my friends back in the day to at least try to finish an easter egg. Its even tougher now because they don't want to play it because its "too old".
It's sad that people actually refuse to play games that are "too old."
>too old
Your friends need help
Exactly why I haven’t done the Buried or Die Rise ones (or Shangri La since about 2011)
could always go online to find new people to play with? there are loads of discords to join a looking for group or smth
Your homies kinda suck
Fun fact: the Pack A Punch was originally slated to appear on Shi No Numa, but was pushed back to Der Riese due to time constraints. But if you check the code, there are still remnants of pack a punched guns that are fully modeled and ready to use. They'll down you instantly if you use them, but you CAN spawn them in via console commands.
Not sure what's more insane: whatever the hell CoD is doing with its zombie lore or the fact that I watched 6 (six) hours worth of some dude with a funny accent break down years worth of maps. Map by map. For six (6) hours.
That's how much we used to love old zombies
cant deny the video is pretty good quality

His accent sounds Australian which gives it humor imo
@@r011ing_thunder6 me listening to Australian “people” talk
43:20 I will never forget the day I was playing an online match with three random people
We camped on the elevator upstairs and all of us expect one guy went down and he was low on ammo when, at the moment he was about to be overrun, he got the death machine perk and won us the round. Of course we lost the next round because none of us had guns or much points but the moment forever lives on in my memory
Epic af
That was me
Since Steve Blum always does the same voice, and cod zombies has interdimensional fuckery, my headcanon is that every character he voices is secretly Tank Dempsey.
Wouldn’t mind to be honest lol love Dempsey
I hate how almost everytime steve is mentioned in any anime it’s never for tank. Nothing is more iconic to me
@@corralzin4909 aight I respect your opinion but it is MAD to me that you'd say Tank is more iconic that Spike Spiegel
@@salmon_wine or wolverine for that matter, steve blum is such an iconic actor to boil him down to one role is criminal
I still find it crazy that they haven't released a CoD that is just Zombie mode or how another company haven't taken their own spin on a similar formula.
I mean, killing floor exists
I’m not sure how Zombie Army works but that’s a game that feels inspired by this type of idea.
The only thing that it's similar to a zombies exclusive game. It's the mobile game
Volkit games too old, doesn’t feel good to play nowadays
@@nickdreezy2457 KF2 doesnt feel bad- the gunplay is still quite good
Ah yes, the COD Zombies series. Yet another example of "You either die a Primis or live long enough to see yourself become an Ultimis."
Or however that quote went
Ultimus was entertaining tho. Primus took itself too seriously
I'll take over used quote for 100$
Ultimis over primis EZ
Man, I'm not lying when I say this probably one of my favorite videos on this platform. This must have taken so much work. Just grabbing all of the footage; completing all of the main quests; exploring the lore; recording the commentary; forming thoughtful opinions. It's truly amazing.
I've been watching this video in parts for almost a week, and it's been more entertaining than watching a show! And I watched this even though I know everything about this incredibly underrated mode.
I have a lot of respect for this video, I hope it keeps getting traction and shows more people how amazing this mode is, and how it could actually could keep producing more bangers in the future.

Honestly, I loved when cod was strictly survival based with a little story through. Loved it when Easter eggs were hidden and a side quest to those who wanted to perform it. A large part of the fun with random players was when half the team knows of the Easter egg and then they would relay and reach others. In return you would attempt it yourself and teach any other randoms who didn’t know of the secret side quest. This to me, is the best balance of cod zombies. Once the Easter eggs started becoming a must do part, the mode became lackluster no matter how great the maps and story were. I loved the simplicity. Once you start having to perform quest in order to survive and go farther. Zombies began to feel like a chore. All of a sudden you found yourself searching up 10-15 min walkthroughs of how to perform every step to complete the Easter egg and story. A large part of the fun for me was sucked out. You lost that slight community element that older titles contained. Now the only community you get are those wanted to go as far as possible or those who don’t care to play zombies because they don’t want to learn the 30 step process to engage in a map.
Its why I love Town and Nuketown zombies in bo2, and WaW is my favorite zombies game. You aren't characters in the first two waw maps or the BO2 survival maps, you're you. It makes it more immersive and engaging when the characters aren't spittin quips every 10 seconds. They're simple, effective and fun.
This
You nailed it. I’m fine with people and the community as a whole preferring the Skyrim quest maps. I hate taking years to get setup personally and get bored super quick on solo but to each their own. What I hate is the toxicity towards people like us who like it old school. We’re always told to shut up and play old maps as innovation is the future yet they are the same people who complain about cod’s multiplayer being boring and beg it to be like MW2. It’s just annoying how our points are brushed off because we prefer the unpopular opinion.
Yeah, I think COD zombies is a good example on why you shouldn't always listen to your hardcore audience. While the big and elaborate easter eggs were great for hardcore community who were caught up on the story and loved spending hours if not days trying to figure out how to perform them, as a casual player who just wanted to enjoy the survival co-op it just made the maps incredibly confusing with all the different convoluted mechanics and quests you had to do.
Also RUclips ruining any kind of discovery for video games by providing the freaking CODE of the game being dissected to figure out steps like dear lord guys maybe just enjoy the mystery. Even to this day random today are more retarded than the few during peak days of Black Ops 2 which I always found a competent team that wanted to pursue these. Black Ops 3 comes around and the community is now braindead and anytime you get close to finishing the other players or simply one of them ends up doing something to ruin the experience of completing these. And to those who say “Don’t do it with randoms” are exactly the same people who ruin the easter egg because of whatever stupidity they want to come up with
As a child playing WaW, I could never play single player zombies. The music was so scary and the feeling of being alone in the map was too much 🤣. The music is the best ever.
😮😮😮
Dude I’m 36 with 3 kids and I still get pretty anxious if I run solo zombies at night
4:56:31 to be fair, I don't think it's necessarily a case of them forgetting. You have to remember BoD technically takes place between Zetsebo No Shima and Gorod Krovi, and the crew wasn't officially introduced to Dr. Monty until after killing Ultimas Nikolai, so it makes sense that at this point this is their first time hearing about him.
Yeah, seeing that bothered me as well. There are a few critisizms of the story in this video that are based on false information, such as your example here.
Yeah. Buddy should've watched a timeline video before making this. Because in Classified, the reason the Pentagon Thief wasn't in the map, was because he hadn't shown up yet in the story. Classified takes place maybe about a week or so before Five takes place in the timeline. Yuri wasn't sent to the Pentagon until Five took place.
Cold War is technically set in a rebooted universe but it's still a sequel at the same time to the events that happened prior in Cod Zombies. At the end of Bo4 after Nikolai sends the entire multiverse that was corrupted with 115, keeper and apothicon influence into the dark aether putting an end to all the misery and suffering the cycle had caused Samantha and Eddie walk into the light which was a gateway into a new universe that was initially free from anything having to do with the aether. Until the endstation experiments opened the rift into the dark aether which has since then changed and evolved and yatata. Point being Cw's Samantha and Eddie are the exact same versions from the old aether story and weren't reborn but they just entered that reality as seen at the end of Bo4. However Samantha seems to have amnesia about it and was an orphan upon entering Cw's universe, But it's implied Eddie might remember the past events of the aether story in the god forsaken intel in CW. The only thing similar about this universe to the prior existing ones is that the events of the campaigns play out the same, at least waw and bo1 which lead into this game.
That's what I was thinking.
i loved cold war zombies, and this story is more intriguing to me than the later end of aether, and chaos
@@savvyburritos
I mean despite Cw's story being buried in the infamous intel system it is trying to stand on it's own legs even though Sam and Eddie are still here. And I actually do appreciate what Craig Houston is doing with the story aside from what I just mentioned. But I think it doesn't spike the same interest I had in the og aether where things were abit more mysterious and lore heavy even later on. Sorta the same way fnaf had it's initial following. But a good story obviously doesn't need to be cryptic. I still see some hope for Zombies but fnaf is flimsy on the other hand, I think they went a little overboard. More so than Craig and Blundell cause at least it was more established some left field crazy sh!t was always possible for Zombies
@@jbroz_tv0138 yea i definitely think it has its own legs to stand on. blundell got a little too carried away with the narrative imo and made a convoluted story over gameplay. i liked that the ee’s are easier and more casual. i honestly get the lore from youtube channels so i don’t have to grab all the intel haha. and i didn’t mean all of aether story, the beginning is actually amazing. up until around dr monty came in i lost all interest
@@savvyburritos
Hmm why do some lads drop the story there? Monty was almost a necessary part to explain and clear up things.It didn't really ruin the story for me I thought it was actually cool not being left in the dark for y'know a whole decade. But it definitely was a different time when youtubers actually use to speculate and come up with their own interpretations instead just waiting for dlc to drop and then point out the obvious.
After watching it in one sitting, I can undoubtedly say that this is the most insightful retrospective of Zombies ever done.
I got lost midway the storyline because I stopped playing since BO2, but this video summed up the story, Easter eggs and everything in between in a great way.
Kudos to you and you deserve a whole lot more subscribers tbh.

4:06:56 I rarely see people use this perk but put Ethereal Razor on and make sure it’s in the modifier slot, it’s probably the best part of this entire game
I never realized the Vorkuta steps lined up so well with Origins
Legendary. CoD zombies had me since 2010. I have since watching a lot of retrospective and lore. So awesome. Also holy shit. 6 hours 👀

I have to say, for the Fives remake, if the easter egg was on round 100, I would say that would be better.
they should of just made it on 115. the perfect round for an easter egg
The Thundergun does have a “drawback” and it’s that at longer ranges it will just knock the zombies back but not kill them. The infinite damage is only at short range if I remember correctly
That's not true, the only drawback of thunder gun and similar weapons is that you can't get power ups from them.
It is true that thundergun can knock back zombies, but that happens in every round, if that zombie doesn't recieve the full blast of air.
@@publiovirgilio2238 you literally said they were wrong just to correct them by saying exactly what they said
If tranzit didn't have fog/denezins(read: was on a better engine that could handle it), the bus was faster (so you'd have a reason to use it if you want to get around quicker), didn't have the stupid requirements for the pack I'd say it'd be a solid map. Still not the greatest, but would actually have a reason to play it sometimes.
Some really good ideas in tranzit though. The version of zombies my channel is working on was heavily inspired by that map as well as some of the other classics from BOI.
Unless you loved it, youd hate it. 😂 got a mate on it 3 days later he had learnt where the bits where and was better then me in the fog. You do learn it but you gotta play it a lot. The bus does get quicker with rounds. At about round 15-20 it don't stop, just does laps.
I forgot about perma jug.
Bank holding points.
Get the galvours and the fog is just good old fun.
Keep rebuilding barriers, hit certain about get metal planks instead off wood.
Go for headshots, 20-30 plus ina row gets you like triple tap.
I've not played it in ages but tranzit will always be my favorite 😏✌️
Eh, tranzit could have a better layout. Instead of being as expansive as it is, it should have crammed things, for example: Town in the middle of everything, and the rest around it, like just besides it in some cases (bus station) or somewhat far away (farm)
I cannot believe people still believe the engine can't handle it, you can see videos (and I did myself on a PS3) of people running with a turbine on hand which is the fastest way to run & stab with stamina up and knifing denizens twice before they can jump on your head. They went around the whole map and guess what! It didn't crash!!
Treyarch did all of that crap to keep people from having infinite space to train which would make the map "too easy". A lot of BO1 maps were labeled as too easy thus Tranzit was supposed to be challenging. You can see the same idea with Die Rise, they didn't want to make easy maps so they made shitty maps instead.
my only complaint is probably the size, but other than that i don't really think tranzit is all that bad lol
I used to always get cod games for the Zombies, yet I had a gut feeling to wait on Vanguard. A week (or two, I don't remember) after launch, there was a free access trial and I couldn't even play on the servers. So I went offline to try out the game, I played 2 games and I felt I played everything the zombies mode had to offer, which was everything the game WOULD OFFER for like 3-4 months after launch due to lack of updates and basic zombies features missing (like no PAP camo, wall buys, buildables, wonder weapons, Easter egg, fun, a PAUSE BUTTON🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️)
I'm very sad that this kind of work doesn't get that many views, there is so much love and efforts put into it. Even as someone who played zombies for more than 9 years, i learned new stuff with this video. We don't see this kind of content often. Keep up.
Incredible video. It's brought back countless memories of playing Zombies for so many years, and while I disagree with many of the opinions you have on various maps, I can't deny how well made this retrospective is. Thumbs up
54:10 tsk tsk, dissing the single greatest support gun in Zombies. Unupgraded, if you shoot a teammate, they become invisible to the zombies. If you upgrade it, they gain an insta-kill effect. It's a medic's dream. Revive your teammate, pop them a few times with the Lazarus, and let them run free to go get Jug.
WOW just finished this 6 hour movie. Took me back to my middle school and high school days playing WaW through Bo4. Great vid :)
A quick little recap of zombies.
Nice.
Nothin quick about it lol

I love that you’ve started branching into gaming content from here onwards - I think you’ll find even more of a following with how big RUclips gaming is! Keep up the fantastic work.
So many great memories, also did he not mention how Leroy can carry a crawler around like a baby? That was legit my favorite feature in Buried lol
Watched this throughout the last 3-4 days, what a nostalgia trip. Amazing video!
Haven't even finished watching this video but I gotta say I love it. It makes me long for the days of WaW/BO style zombies as that's what I grew up with when I was in middle school. As time went on, I grew distant from CoD in general but always tried to keep the zombies in mind, I'd watch videos of the popular YT'ers covering the zombies mode but it just kinda lost it's flair after a while. I thoroughly enjoy all of the QoL mechanics they added in later iterations, especially in Cold War but I really wish they went back to a more grounded sci-fi approach rather than the blatant fantasy tropes that have been included nowadays.
I'm sincerely hoping for a solid zombies/cod refresh soon, so that the companies who makes these games really understand what we as the fanbase truly want.
Thanks for making this video. It was a huge nostalgia trip and your coverage of it was second to none.
Excellent video, super entertained the entire time. Loved taking a trip down memory lane through my childhood. Cheers!
Thanks for making these long videos. This one is your best one I've seen are like 7 times. I can't stop coming back to it. I never really connected with people in my generation. But with the zombies mode in Call of Duty. I know for a fact that I can talk to anyone and they all know what I'm talking about. This video got me back into zombies. I hope they find their way again
listened to about 4 hours of this last night before i eventually fell asleep to it. now seems a good time to finish it. great work man, love these long analysis videos
I felt like most of it was explaining easter egg steps which I found kind of irrelevant imo. I mostly came to hear about the mechanics and gameplay, not hours explaining how seeds work in Zetsubou No Shima lol.
Weird
Very very good video. The Zombiemode always will habe a special place in my heart.
Made 6 hours of my 12 hour 11pm to 11 am shift entertaining, thank you man, this was a very good and well put together retrospective
This video is low key a masterpiece, incredible job. I've watched it over the past week and I'm still hooked. Subbed and liked :D
For as long as I live I will never understand why people shit all over WW2 zombies as much as they do. As someone who has put 3000+ hours into WW2 zombies, there is a lot more fun to be had than people give it credit for. With all of the different mods and special abilities you can bring into a match it really spices up the gameplay, completely changing up the play style for whatever you feel like doing. There’s got to be almost 100 different challenges to do on every map to unlock playable characters, 100’s of variants to unlock for all of the guns by getting them in supply drops, loads of daily orders, weekly orders and contracts to complete to get said supply drops, fun and engaging Easter eggs with challenging boss fights (for the most part). I’ve had more fun, made loads of friends online and most of all made the best memories from WW2 zombies
With that said, awesome video man. It was great to see someone review the entirety of the zombies franchise in one video. 6 hours might seem like a really long video but honestly, I could’ve sat and listened to you talk about zombies for another 6 hours
For me, WW2 wasn't all that bad as people make it out to be, but it has the same problem IW has where they put all there eggs in 1 basket.
Final Reich was very fun, but there is a problem structurally where it is a launch map that blows every other map in the game out of the water. Treyarch, even at their worst, never had this problem, where every map that came out afterwards didn't hold up.
I will say though i do like The Shadowed Throne and Groestan Haus.
WW2 is really good zombie wise. Final Reich is actually pretty top tier imo. Shadowed throne is good, but the second dlc map (can't remember the name of it) is terrible, simply because of the boss zombie. It moves faster then you, can 1 shot you, has a ranged attack that is almost undodgable, and is obscured by fog. That's not even talking about the super one you have to fight for the easter egg. I hate this boss zombies, and it has caused me to not play that map at all.
@@lost8257 yeah I have still not been able to beat the Easter egg. It’s always the boss zombie that kills me
Holy. Crap. 6 hours, ill have this on in the background while working tomorrow, I'll leave a like early tho!

Loved watching the full 6 hours, thank you for entertaining 1/4th of a day for me, also mad respect for the ridiculously long video!!
You seem very passionate and creative and it shows in your work. Thank you for this video
Finally, after a whole week, I've finished this video. You've done a great job covering everything, very thorough and well-spoken. I never even gave infinite warfare zombies or cold war zombies a try before, but I might just after this video. They look pretty decent.
Cold War Zombies is great gameplay wise
@@Nai_101 game sucked tremendously
I love taking these type of vids and listening to it throughout my workday
Also they should bring back extinction, a genuinely fun and unique survival mode that only flopped cuz it wasn't zombies
You had to have worked so hard on this. Well done. I’ve yet to see a better super long platform gaming video like this.
What a video and so much effort playing all these maps. Good stuff mate 👏
Im on the BO2 part, but you deserve more views from all this work explaining and editing this madness of a story!
Edit: Watched the whole thing, was a funny but very interesting explanation of not only the story but also the gameplay, i can't wait until you make another one for future CoD's
Another great video as usual
I first found your channel through your Omori overview, it’s awesome to see your content’s quality carries over between two completely different games

How is this not got 1 million views this is 6 hours long and has an amazing commentary with someone who clearly knows the series very well I can’t imagine how much work went into this AMAZING WORK BRO ! 🙏🏾
this was insane. hella thankful for the vid. Been watching it the past like two weeks and i always looked forward to it! :)
I loved every second of this retrospective/easter egg tutorial/story explqined-video/critique/let's play & gameplay showcase video
Under rated video, this video is a straight nostalgia trip. Appreciate all of the effort put into this long ass video
Imma bout 2hr and 13min. in so the buried section, and so far, this video's great and well made, been playing zombies since Tranzit and I remember playing it so much as a kid man and I still enjoy now, even though its got some serious issues, i think its just cause of nostalgia. I didn't have online till 2017 or 2018ish, not sure, but I never had any of the DLC's, so I just played the on disc maps a ton, its not till 2018 I started to play the DLC's, first was zombies chronicles, then the BO4 DLC's, then BO2, BO1, and then finally the BO3 DLC, although I haven't played zetsubou, I have it, but never played it, I am soon tho, im not sure why, just haven't had the time to do it, but WaW through BO3 was great, id even say BO4 in my opinion, i miss when zombies had atmosphere tho, it was so cool man, anyways great video so far man.
This video brings me so much nostalgia great work
This video helped me get through 3/4 of my work day. Thanks, man!
Underrated channel. This is an amazingly produced and well thought out vid with practically every good/bad detail discussed. Definitely worth the 6 hour watch
5:33:15 actually... There's SORTA a crew in zombies? In the ending cutscene for forsaken. On the televisions sonewhere. You can see that vargas, adler, among another two is the canon crew. Despite it being such a tiny detail i dont even think the easter egg hunters noticed.
ive been watching my boyfriend play cod zombies for 3 years now, our entire relationship, various different versions- never played any of these, never been good at any kind of fps- but this is one of the most interesting videos i've ever seen. don't know why this came up in my suggested, but i'm glad it did, thoroughly enjoyed! definitely gonna check out more of your stuff!
Play zombies it’s so simple and fun as fuck
Man I just found these and they are gold. I’ve seen gta and now this, don’t stop bro this is a gem to me
Awesome vid, just an observation: the Tundragun got patched and now it kills forever, yeah it still got splash damaged but you can counter it with phd. Now the weapon is quite effective and since it got more ammo than the thundergun it is a viable option
World at War's Nacht was using the multiplayer map Airfield as its foundation, all the W@W zombie maps were also based on multiplayer maps except shi nu numa. Vurruckt was pretty much just the interior of the multiplayer map Asylum (which was a dope map) It all probably saved on loads of resources haha
the key to camping in verruckt was to have one side hold off while the other side buys the entire way around so you are in the large thompson room together, but the door to your left is intact. That way you can line the back where the BAR window is with bouncing betties and have plenty of space to camp and mow down.
if they get close, back up a bit, let the betties loose, and youre good to go
Took me a month of coming back and enjoying the video in bursts but I’m 8 minutes off finishing and you, if anything deserve my sub. It was a great video and I’m gonna check out more of your content after this
Jimmy’s run on zombies was definitely my favorite time period of zombies. I can appreciate most of the treyarch maps after his and Cold War really invigorated my love towards zombies but I just never could 100% vibe with any of the other maps post Buried. Origins just had too much going on for me and a lot of the maps that followed are pretty much the same. Too much setting up to get stuff that on other maps weren’t too difficult or complex to achieve. The zombies maps I love the most are simple at face value and are perfectly fine to casual players but are as deep and complex as the BO3 and BO4 maps if you go out of your way for it. Plus Jimmy’s maps just had a horror vibe to them even if they never to me were actually ‘scary’. I was a big fan of that over the love craft, mystical adventures of Origins onward. Moon, has always been my favorite map for that reason.
I do like and even love some of the post Buried maps like Der Eisendrasche, Groda Krovi and Nine but non of then just hit me right in the nostalgia until Cold War with Die Maschine and ESPECIALLY Maur Der Toten. That map is an instant classic to me.
But I 100% get why people love Origins and BO3’s run on zombies. It gave players a mission and tasks to do other than survive everytime you loaded up a game.
this is def one of the worst takes i have ever read in my whole life 😭
@@snxx9612 then you haven’t heard the people that like BO4 or Exo Zombies. Lol
@@NutsorSomethingBerserk bo4 isnt bad its dragged down my the horrible system ancient evil and dead of the night are top 10 maps
@@snxx9612 It's nowhere near the quality though of BO1, WAW, BO2, and especially BO3 tho. Hell, even Cold War.
Cold War at least had significantly better gameplay and brought back a lot of things that BO4 took away for no reason.
Nine and Ancient Evil though are great maps that deserved to be in better COD games. The rest of BO4's maps are problematic, mediocre, or just flat out bad. Both by BO4's gameplay & engine, but also on their map design.
@@NutsorSomethingBerserk i wouldnt go as far to say cold war is better those maps have zero character and are simply just reskinned mp maps i applaud bo4 for actually having maps with character i preordered cold war and played it for a week only to never touch it again the entirety of chaos story is better than what cold war has to offer
Ive loved zombies since 2008 when i finished the campaign i was 10 and this video got me tearing up it has been a major part of my life until vanguard one of my favorite maps of all time is acension that is one of the only older maps that i still continue to play and enjoy to this day without feeling bored
Wait, you actually enjoy Vanguard Zombies? Well that's something I don't see everyday.
@@Daniel328DT i never once said i enjoy vanguard tho where are you seeing this
@@swagwolfgang "I continue to play Zombies and enjoy it to this day without feeling bored." I kinda just assumed you play all the modern games including Vanguard Zombies and still enjoy the game mode.
@@Daniel328DT my dude i literally said “acension is one of my favorite older maps that i still continue to play and enjoy to this day without feeling bored”
@@swagwolfgang Would you play Vanguard Zombies though?
So glad I found this channel. All the content is top notched
The only reason I like BO3 is because they added BO1 maps. BO2 was also good, but i didnt play tranzit as much as buried.
In BO2 I dont remember having to look everyting up on youtube like the new BO3 maps and Orgins, that disrupt the flow of gameplay in my opinion.
Moon is stil my favorite, the moon ee mostly revolves around getting the wonder weapons and completing a few steps and pressing some buttons.
Also the map is perfectly playable without doing the ee like I mostly do.
And having the saw destroy the biodome makes the perfect training spot where there is enough room for everyone. The low gravity slows down the zombies (wich is great in an open area) and the launch pads dont kill anymore.
Thanks for this vid. I stopped playing COD entirely around BO2, and wow did zombies get convoluted. I don't know if I'm just being an old man, but when you cut from the visual mess of the recent COD zombies back to barebones WaW it was like night and day. I remember playing Der Riese and thinking things were getting too wacky with the pack-a-punch lol.
Definitely seems like the Easter eggs just became busy work as well.
Yeah for me black ops 1 was the peak and I didn't play anything after that.
I was dipping back into bo4 zombies recently, and I don't actually use the "mandatory-ish" perks except Dying Wish.
My mandatory-ish perk list includes Stronghold, Dying Wish, and Bandolier.
The only one that *has* to be brought is Dying Wish tho
I didn't think I would watch it all, but it was very will writing and interesting. well done and thank you.
Such a bad ass video I haven’t played cod in a long time for many reasons but I have always wanted a video that takes me back though probably my fav part of cod playing some zombies for hour with some good friends but the lore got away from me pretty fast cuz I was either to young to really get the Easter eggs or to tired of cod to bother with the game so watching this brings back great memories and answers so many questions at the same time thanks!
My favorite channel
Great Video! Massive respect for the huge amount of time and effort this took!!!
I just wanted to thank you for making this, it introduced me to Zombies and got me to get BO3 and its vast library of custom maps
Watched it from Beginning to End, Awesome Video.
Treyarch should have kept Jason Blundell and Jimmy Zielinski as a pair, so they continue to workshop new ideas for zombies to have prevented it from becoming stale, they both had great ideas, but together, I feel they could have revolutionized the Co-Op survival game modes in CoD.
Treyarch needs Zielinski's ideas, at the same time, needs Blundell's steady hand. I would rather have a couple maps that's a complete flop that adds new mechanics that keeps new maps fresh that leads to a great map like Der Reise, Buried, MotD (Mob of the Dead), CotD (Call of the Dead), and Five.
Black Ops 3 I can't say much on, Shadows of Evil is probably the only map I played quite a lot, since I didn't have any of the DLC until after BO4 came out and didn't get a chance to play them much. Just wish SoE wasn't the release map feels more like a DLC map with how much there is. Probably the best map the latter half of Black Ops (3 & 4) zombies. Black Ops 4 is such a blur for me, I don't remember much of the maps and story, but I remember I only played the release maps.
I haven't played Infinite and Advanced Warfare zombies as much as the rest, so I have no input on any of those maps.
I only played the release map of WW2 and never played the rest or came back to play the release map.
I feel that Ghosts had a interesting idea, flopped in my opinion, but, overall I enjoyed my experience.
Cold War was a breath of fresh air to me, it was the first zombies where I had completed the Easter eggs/stories. A great balance of the good parts of BO3 and BO4. I wasn't a big fan of the new mechanics like salvage (Was tolerable), the multiplayer feel, and the new point system, making replaying maps a chore after completing the Easter eggs. I absolutely hated the Easter egg process in Outbreak, making it near impossible to complete solo if you play casually, and such a drag even with a full squad, never completed it to this day. The story is hit and miss, could have been done completely different to make it less boring and a slog to do. Best part is going into the Aether in Die Maschine, wishing they had something that matched the feel in the other maps. All of the maps have their own goods and bads, but all are overall pretty well made, just wish Outbreak wasn't just copy and paste MP maps, they could have done smaller new maps, or had done something to make them stand out more.
Never played Vanguard, and might not, after buying MW Reboot and Cold War, it just didn't feel like the CoD MP I enjoyed from the past, which carried onto Cold War Zombies, causing me to delete Cold War after completing the Easter eggs I had done, making me wish I had waited to buy it on discount, and completely regret getting MW.
I appreciate your love for Zielinski keeping his spotlight, it's strange how no one is going to comment on a comment that has mentioned "Jimmy Zielinski" unless it's probably to bash his head in more which I honestly don't get Vanguard was pioneered off of Blundell all on his own and it fucking sucks
thank you for reminding us that Jimmy zielinski was a legend I always preferred his maps to that of Blundell which are much too long set up and that's why i love cold War :)
CoD Zombies is the only part of the game l ever cared about. I spent hours and hours in it, building friendships that have since crumbled into hate. My nostalgia for it is coupled with bitter resentment for people l used to consider my closest friends. It’s bittersweet.
That went dark real quick.
I have been working my way through this but a phenomenal video!
Saw this and I rememeber completing the campaign back when it dropped, had me ever since. Holy shit what a ride. I'm pretty sure Victis survived, banished into the Dark Aether.
Oh my lord this video was an absolute master piece it derserves more attention espacialy it being 6 hours man i couldnt even fathom how long it took to make great job man
No
I loved this video. I loved the long format. It was perfect 👌🏻
I still remember waking up at 4am on Christmas morning when I was 12 to find a copy of Black Ops for my PS3 and going on to play zombies the entire day until I was cut off by my mom around 8 that evening. Playing those maps for the first time will forever be one of my favorite memories from my childhood when it comes to video games.
Great video! Except... Cold War IS directly connected to the Aether storyline.
The Dark Aether storyline takes place in the "new world" that the characters helped create by offing themselves.
Samantha in this world? She's the sam who went through the portal at the end of Tag. Likewise with Rochtofen, aka, The Director.
The Dark Aether is the dimension where all of the crao from the previous storyline got dumped at the end of Tag. That's why there are robots in it, Apothicon type monsters, and zombies/ 115.
The hate on transit is just hilarious 💀😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Personally I don't get the hate for tranzit, it's basically h@#$ on earth, so yeah, it's gonna be difficult.
@@w1ndgeneral226 did you really censor hell XD
@@SirFlooberis
What? It's part of my charm🙃
@@w1ndgeneral226 nah it’s fine just funny to me
I still play BO3 Zombies and Custom Zombies and stream it time to time. I'm stuck in that era of zombies and probably won't ever move on. Cold war zombies are ok and more user friendly for first timers, but us old day one's seem to love bo2 and bo3 zombies the best by far. None of my buddies play it anymore so I will be solo until they take down the servers. Great Video man!!!
This video is amazingly entertaining mate, thank you!
I love this video! I think something you touch on that I introspected on. After BO1 I tapped out of zombies because of Tranzit being garbage. I started hearing zombies was making a come back, but it had weird Lovecraftian aspects to it and I couldn't enjoy the story because of that. You state BO4 neglected a lot of fans, but I also feel that way about BO3. I love BO3 for the gameplay, mod community, etc. But what I found interesting about zombies story died quickly. I hate sounding like a boomer, because as someone who likes Halo I know what it's like for people to only praise the originals and completely discredit anything the sequels tried as garbage, can be frankly annoying. However, even now that I've gone back and played every aspect of zombies, there's something I love about the story being rooted in conspiracy theories in real life and taking them to an extreme.
Dang, this is pretty good. I never played Zombies past Bo1 but I enjoyed hearing about all of the kooky stuff that the later maps got up to.
Moon rocks tho
Looove hearing Windmill Isle(Night) during the BO2-transit part.
Great taste!
I can't believe I've spent 6 hours of this. Loved every minute 😅
I shutter at the thought of how much hard drive space this took, how long it took to edit, and what the timeline looks like
Cringe
solid video, although hearing "worst" and "best" when going through the maps got pretty annoying; you said multiple wonder weapons were the worst ones like half a dozen times
This is such a treat, thanks for giving us such a stellar video about my favorite game mode growing up, who knew gunning down hordes of rotten flesh eating meat sacks would induce such warm and cozy feelings :)) appreciate your work
Bro the ending of tag makes me so sad, zombies brought me closer with my friends and cousins.
So the line of Nikolai saying they were his friends, his brothers hits me different.
