    Today we talk about Cold War Zombies and the fact that despite it's great gameplay, it lacks any charm or intrigue in story or personality.

      Great vid , been playing since waw , hardcore lvl 1000’s high rounds etc, I agree 100 % zombies is so lazy now to attract fortnite kids . It lacks the darkness , look how bright the new maps are . You can literally stand in a horde for 30 seconds zombies is ridiculously op and people still suuuuck , you can craft self revives

      Thank you! I can deal with easy maps, but they need to give us 4 dedicated, fully voiced characters. Half, and I mean HALF, of the excitement of a new map for myself, was getting to hear the new dialogue from the player characters. They should make weaver, grey and the other to voice over handlers, what ever they are, as the people you play as. They may not be super interesting, but it's better than the mostly voiceless operators we have to use.

Still though, would be nice for the Operator's to react to the world around them, like mentioning things about Perk tastes, ammo count, etc.

I think what a lot of people are failing to realize this year is that treyarch had to cover sledgehammers ass and save the floor from under them because they failed to put out a functioning product. They had to rush a lot of the entirety of the game, and I think in that context (aside from being an unfinished 60 dollar game with egregious microtransactions) is doing very well considering. I hope they take the time to get with the voice actors and have them do some simple stuff for environments, perks, ammo ect. but I also wanted to point out some good they did. like dude, just the other day I was playing as the new operator Naga and he got pissed cause he almost died and he says "YOU'RE DAMN LUCKY IM HERE, WEAVER" like, shit like that is what made me fall in love with zombies in the first place, and it's good seeing effort put into it.

      Yeah the story does make sense, my issue is how GODDAMN BORING IT IS. (Obviously this is all my opinion) There are 0 fun or interesting characters, the only one that resembles sortve interesting is Sam and she is just as generic as the rest. Like cool she gets tossed into the dark aether and has the boys' stuff. She's just as much of "random military/scientist guy" as the rest, which is literally every singular character in this game. The coolest character we've gotten so far is FREAKING ORLOV! Just because he had a little emotional depth and redemption with his family and his sacrifice. The game is appealing to the larger COD community and it seems to be at the cost of some zombie vets, whether it ends up working for them I can't say but it sucks to see.

There extra lines are just "wall buy here, found speed cola, heavy enemy there" they won't get anything. If my character has no weight in the story other then being a mere vessel then I cant put myself into the game. Just imagine the story of bo3 where you hunt down the old ultimus characters, but instead it's just faceless operators. The Firebase Z cutscene is the perfect example, it's literally just GTA Online. They just sit by a helicopter or jump in a truck. I do have hope that by the next game it'll be better, but this games systems just won't allow what we're both hoping for.

    Verdict: You can’t focus on one part and leave the other one as after thought. You have to have a balance between Good gameplay and Good story. Excellent gameplay with bad story will only keep you playing for so long. On the other hand, too much focus on Story with weak gameplay won’t keep you playing either.

It's tough to try and appease both ends of the audience, that's being seen a little with zombie veterans not loving this game. (By veterans I don't mean youtubers and stuff because those guys shill everything Treyarch on the planet until everyone else dislikes it, then they'll hate on it, take bo4 for example.) I do hope it ends up working for them, I just hope they don't end up abandoning the roots and focusing entirely on this new player base because it seems to be going in that direction.

      My only problem is that they don't interact enough. They have absolutely NO conversational quotes. With Alpha Omega, they did over 10,000 lines for the 8 characters. It shows that Treyarch can go to such lengths but they cant be asked to put the money into it.

      @@Nekiplex Yeah there are plenty who don't hate it, just doesn't seem to be anyone who prefers it. The thing about this system is they will literally never interact enough, don't hold out hope they'll do it later because they fundamentally cannot, use Alpha Omegas 10000 lines for example, obviously that was a RIDICULOUS amount. It was great to have and by no means the status quo but it's an example. These lines were split into 4 different voice actors, meaning 2500 for each. If you wanted this interaction in cold war, that would need to be 10000 lines for every voice actor they have and will ever have. (obviously I know that's not what you're asking for, just more then 10 would be nice) but you get my point. If they added in characters saying quotes during egg moments or something like that then every single operator would have to record that line. That's why I hate this system, the feign that it's freedom to choose who you want to play when it's really just stealing any soul from the characters. I mean who tf cares who you're playing as seeing as they're the exact same?

    Honestly when I saw the trailer for zombies I thought it would be a bit more horror based.
    Like, you're a Soviet soldier armed with a rifle and a flashlight attached to it, and you enter down into what could only be described as a horrifying hellhole.
    And yet what we got is a colorful arcade game. Not what I was expecting, personally. - Just feels like lost potential to do something unique or different. Seriously imagine that sort of zombies for a second. Pretty dark wherever you're at and you're armed with a rifle you probably don't even want to use but are stuck with it, and you have a flashlight being one of your only light sources.
    Could argue it's too big a gamble. But zombies feels... Stale. Being arcady and all that.

    The cold war zombies story is a continuation of Bo4.

But in Cold War, the Dark Aether has begun to leak into our world. Think of the dark aether as the upside-down from stranger thing, same universe different dimension in that universe.

    honestly the fact i can actually connect to a match and play a game and not lag out at round 28 means Cold War is 10000000x better than any other COD over released. plus there is progression which is amazing and we need more of that.
    For anyone wondering ive played on both Xbox, and playstation as well as PC. Ive been on PC for about 6 years now and COD 4 still has connection issues the entire time the game was out. either i couldnt connect or one of my friend couldnt connect. Or we would connect only to have the game crash round 20-30. I have been playing since WaW and own every DLC. I refused to get cold war until my friend showed me it wasnt a lagged pile of crap. You can argue all day long that the old maps were better but it will never change my mind as i spent about an hr every day for over 10 years trying to get my friends all connected only to have the game crash. If you have every heard of 'port forwarding' then you know my pain. those maps may have been good but i was hardly every able to play them due to the sheer dog crap servers COD had zombies setup on.

    Him not understanding the timeline when talking about the story was my only issue cause he clearly kept taking different bits of the story and mashing them together when the story is quite clear

      Thank you. It's not a bloody reboot, in fact, he's overcomplicating the story, when they're making simpler. Although I agree that the operators are a shitty idea. But I think it's temporary, when the story gets really going, they'll make a crew with Samantha and some other three guys. Siento haberte contado mi vida sin que me preguntaras...

    Hot take, cold wars more realistic practical, mission based story was cool because it was more believable. But I agree on the playable character point. I really wish the playables were more interesting.

    Bricky talking about the stuff you can do in Origins made me think "Wow... that sounds incredibly overloaded and not fun"

      Yeah but it's completely optional, if you want you can just turn on power and pack a punch which is easy
