@@FrenchesOPyou did it man you made a vid where it’s so so easy to comprehend yet just as in depth. You can tell you put a lot of effort into the dialogue and not just repeating back what certain audio logs said and what not
Depends on if you want to see every bit of intel or not. I prefer getting every detail to tell the full story. Certain character motivations don't make sense and some context is missed without the smaller details
For a general overview yes. But this video missed out A LOT of details (which I'm assuming this video was meant as a general overview of the timeline), details which shed light on very important moments in the story, not to mention this video details the story in order of the games, which as we know is not the chronilogical order as we jumped from WW2 to 2025, back to ww2 then suddenly the cold war
@@DJYunkHank these videos are great for someone like me who loves zombies and doing the easter eggs and wants to know the basis of whats going on around me lol
Some ppl feel like they require even the smallest of details to understand the story but even then, it just adds confusion for no reason. Like some of us don't care what the audio tapes say. We just want story that's straight to the point but makes sense and isn't 10 hours long
@Azarath415 brother you do realise we wouldn't have the zombies we got after Waw if it wasn't for people who were interested in every single detail. Those people are the ones that drove treyarch to properly develop zombies. The egg hunters are the ones that made zombies not the casual fans, which is the complete opposite of MP.
Dude, I've been waiting for a vid that explains the new timeline this well whilst also not taking hours to get through. Definitely deserve more support than you are already getting!
And 15 years ago, it was! I remember the first time I finished WaW, and then the screen faded to black, then "NAZI ZOMBIES" flashed onto screen. Nacht der Untoten was super lame and I bet anyone who started on BO2 or after would find it unplayable. So sluggish and limited lol
Actually read that it wasn’t suppose to be in the game at all and some of the devs added it in that’s why at the end of waw you go into zombies. And the ray gun when packed is named after the dev the porter x2 or whatever
@@DBProductions12345-mwhen multiplayer was already working why fix it? They tried something new as a side mode and it became a staple in the franchise and why some solely come to the franchise year after year. I get your point but it doesn’t apply here specifically
Clear and concise, no bullshit, no filler, while also having attention to detail and not leaving things out (like actually mentioning the nature of Sam and Grey's relationship which alot of vids don't do), awesome vid Ill probably make this my go to link for when I find someone looking for a quick story summary
thank you so much friend, you're a legend! - its so weird that the relationship between sam and grey isnt talked about more - we know they kinda have a kid together hahaha, thats huge for bo6
@FrenchesOP I think alot of people are kinda just willfully ignorant? Like, yknow the store bundle for Sam where one of the guns had the initials S and E on it? I have GENUINELY seen people try to say the E is Edward, not Elizabeth. The lengths people will go to in order to not recognise representation is wild
As someone who dropped zombies at black ops 2 and hasn't played since. Thank you for covering everything in a order that makes since. I didn't even know why there were multiple edwards but this video streamlined the process much better. Than the 2 1/2 hour videos i watch which still left me confused.
Man im 100% on the same boat. Never moved on to the ps4 and the easter eggs were always too complicated for me to pay attention to the story. Wanted to know what was up, but Im not gonna watch a 6 hr doc about it 😂
I wish Bo4 had a better start, I did the first few EEs but what was more difficult than the EE was praying you didn’t blue screen or if you didn’t have friends, better hope the host didn’t rage quit. Chaos storyline was underrated
We absolutely know why he’s in BO6! We don’t know how he became director but we definitely know that he and Samantha’s “souls” were the only thing that carried over to the new universe!
@@joe4171 you’d be surprised at how many ppl dropped bo4 onward only knowing that Samantha lived, like they completely forgot that young Eddie went to the new timeline. These same people dropped the new zombies storyline and wondered why Weaver( someone from the bo1 campaign to them) is in zombies
@@chuckyzrevenge No, I agree. A lot of people don’t havnt paid attention to the story. I thought you were implying the person who posted this didn’t know though
This is the single best story recap I've seen for zombies. Explains all the important bits, some less important but Likley still relevant parts, and you were unbiased
@@FrenchesOP makes me even more excited for bo6 So many plot points to work with. Choas story connection, Ava, the construct. I'm very much a fan of the Dark Aether story
BTW Richtofen is literally the good guy. Just trying to avenge and possibly bring back his family who were murdered by Sam and Weaver (who are genuinely the villains in the story).
I would call him more like a anti heroe, what they did to him ain't cool but we have to know why they tried to murder him in first place, and from Weaver and Sam pretty much doing there job, it's more Sam's fault tho, she gave wrong intel that leads to the deadth of Edie's family
The guy who experimented on prisoners of war and children...literally the good guy? You must have some crazy good redemption arcs in your CoD Zombies and Fight Club fanfics😅
I do agree that he is a much better person in primis, but isn't he still a nazi scientist? So still associated with evil people lol, unless I'm wrong and he's not in that universe
Something I want to mention is that it doesn't really seem like Kortifex was seen as worthy by the Constructo. It's stated that he did the trials multiple times before and was still rejected. Even when we first encounter him in the Archon, he was pretty much begging for the power of the Constructo. It wasn't until we appeared that the Constructo gave him power. My point is that I personally think the whole Archon boss fight was more of a test for the allies and the entities, or even part of the Constructo's greater plan. If he wanted to, he could have buffed Kortifex even more or debuffed us (he basically gave us power because we completed his trials so we could stand a chance), and yet Kortifex still lost. So there's a chance that taking Kortifex out of the way was part of his plan, and his disappearance could be explained by the fact that, with Kortifex dead, there was no need for the Constructo to stay.
That’s honestly such a cool theory. I was a little confused when researching about what exactly he did differently to gain the Constructs respect. He did nothing and then was immediately defeated by humans. Maybe it was the Constructs judging humanity, as this would have been the first time it had encountered them?
@FrenchesOP it says that he existed even before or during the original storyline. So there is a high chance that he encountered humans after all if Apothicon knew what stops the most powerful being of the Dark Aether from knowing as well? So that's why I said the two options, he was either intrigued by how some mere humans made it so far (yeah, they were helped by other entities but those guys were super weak compared with a freed Kortifex) so that's why he gave me the trials, that or the plan I said
@@FrenchesOP The Constructo is interesting if you think about it. He's an entity far beyond our understanding, even for the locals of the Dark Aether. Now, imagine how humans would perceive him. I wouldn’t dismiss the idea that he sees them as mere toys or judges them as lesser beings. He’s the sole reason Kortifex didn’t execute the Allies on the spot when they went down. All the Archons served a great purpose within the Dark Aether, bringing about major changes-the moon, the extinction of an entire species. I wouldn’t even count Kortifex as a genuine Archon. He did nothing with his power. If you think about it, shouldn’t a Dark Aether god, buffed by the Constructo, be far stronger than four humans who were also buffed? I think the whole idea of the Constructo making Kortifex an Archon was just him fooling Kortifex, barely giving him any power. Or perhaps he gave more power to the Allies. Who knows? Maybe the Constructo was just watching, not really caring about the result. But now I think of it, if we already did the trials of the Construcot and proved worthy, why would be the Bossfight a test? So that increases the chances that the Constructo wanted for us to slay Kortifex
THIS VIDEO IS INSANELY WELL MADE NO WAY. I loved zombies back in Black ops 1 2 and 3 and have tried out Balack ops 6, havent played any games inbetween. Thank you so much for relighting the curiosity i once had in the zombies storyline. You deserve so kuch recognition for this video.
Legit the best storyline explanation. As someone who stopped playing after bo4 this is a great informative video to catch up thank you!! Liked and Subbed!
Ive played cod almost every year since release and have never been remotely interested in zombies until this year(BO6) im glad this video explains everything I’ve missed so well.. plus im super impressed on the lore of it all…who knew the cod franchise had such great and imaginable minds behind it lol
A big detail you missed with the forsaken is that the first Elder god/demon (as craft call thems) He ate was Kortifex's corpse. As in an audiologue, he talks about finding one of the "big ones" dead.
This is exactly what I needed, a video that covers the whole zombies story while at the same time not being 5000 hours long lol. Awesome awesome work man! Hope your channel grows by a ton!
God i am glad I decided to watch this and seeing skins in the game related to zombies. Never knew how in depth the story was to zombies. Thanks for taking the time to make this!!!!
This is probably the best lore recap of zombies I’ve ever seen! All the necessary details, edited great, and my favorite part, is its short! You earned a Sub for sure. Great work
@@beanzzz31Dr. panos is meant to be a scientist that worked on project Janus with Richthofen, not sure if he knew Richthofen or not but the main deal with him is that he is talking to someone in the dark aether, all fingers point towards Samantha but I could literally be anyone. We only have a couple hints at who it is, the main one being a dialogue line that points out who this person needs Dr.panos’ help to “save her friends” this could point towards weaver etc that are trapped in the dark aether
I’m kind of brand new to COD and very brand new to zombies, but now I feel like I have the same level of understanding as someone who played all the games. Props to you bro!
Thank you! This is MUCH easier to follow and understand compared to these multiple hour long videos and still cover all the important information in a more concise format. Well done :)
This was very well put together. I can't wait to see the next ending! I've been playing CoD zombies since it surprised the hell out of me and my brother when we beat the final mission of WaW
Respect to this chap right here, this video really must have taken an unfathomable amount of time to prepare, watched every second and for once actually understood the links and the timeline, can’t wait for the release of all the DLC maps to see where this all goes…👀
This is by far the best storyline telling! I’ve played all the zombies games but have been looking for a well delivered video that explains the links to refresh my memory. This is by far the best one! So many 1.5hr long videos/9hr videos that have useful information but you can get lost in so quickly! Thank you for keeping it short, simple & very informative 🏆
genuinely the best zombies story recap ive seen. skips all the side characters who did like one thing in the story (such as jebediah brown or pablo) and only brings up how what they did helped the protagonists on their mission.
Started playing zombies when cold war came out and wasn't familiar with the story. Now watching this I'm just constantly rewinding this vid like "who, what, where, how, who was that guy again??" Great vid!👏🔥
Oh jeez you had a lot to catch up on! Hopefully most(the crazy amount of detail) of the old storyline isn’t massively relevant to BO6, because otherwise my video won’t be enough 😂
@@FrenchesOP We'll see 😄 One think I was wondering watching this is that how Zykov ate all the Elder Gods? I mean you can eat the undead and the dark aether material, but how do you eat a god 😂 Just start by chewing on a leg and hope the god doesn't notice it or what
@@DaniTheDead I think the phrasing used is absorbed or consumed, so maybe its their essence, or maybe he just straight up killed them once he was powerful enough and then just went to town LOL
Call me crazy, but it seems like for the first couple games. They were just kind of throwing the story together. But honestly, thank you so much for this video. I’ve never been able to keep track of the storyline, but this definitely makes a lot of sense.
straight abd concise. easy to understand and well written. it shows that the lore of zombies is only as deep as one makes it. (though its still amazing)
This was so exciting! i did not expect you to be able to explain it all so easy and with so much flow. Your voice makes it so soothing too! Keep it up.
Thank you for the amount of effort you put into this video. This is a video I feel all cod players need to watch if they enjoy zombies. Thank you for the video. I subscribed.
I think it really helps that this doesn't have the audio clips from the games tbh. Although they do add details, I feel like it's just easier to explain the clips in a short way since I think the tapes are a bit difficult to understand anyway
@@FrenchesOPthe way u put everything together tho made me finally understand it I was always so confused with the multi verse going back n forward but with ur take on the story it finally made sense 😂
I really loved this video, inspires me to write a video essay of my own!!! I've loved the zombies story ever since I realized there was a story over 10 years ago. Great work!!!!!
this makes so much sense now the the sophia orb thing being the S.A.M ai and that the thing lurking in the water is project (or somthing) 13 which might be mayas brother or its the other boss idk good job though this helps so much!
You'll definitely get more support by creating such great videos. Just promise that you won't end up like those other freaking streamers and youtubers who think they know everything and all 🙄😊 Keep up the great work man
Fantastic video bro! Ive always found this story so confusing but after this video it makes a lot more sense! (Still confusing but no where near as much haha).
personally havent bought a single cod since cold war and also didnt find it easy to connect cold wars lore to bo4 and previous, watched a 8 hour video i thought would cover everything and it only went to bo4 (my mistake). this video was great and very helpful for prep the day before bo6, thank you
This suddenly makes me understand where A LOT of influence for the Monument Mythos series was drawn from. Both the scale, the willingness to just nuke an entire universe from existence as part of the story telling, the strange and obscure elements that don't seem to make sense for a long time and even the flavor of cosmic horror are really similar. Here I was thinking for a decade or so that this was just a game where you shoot hordes of undead and that's it 🤣
Wait. I think up until this video some things didn't make sense to me but man, this ACTUALLY completely makes sense. Props to you.
That's EXACTLY what I wanna hear! I always found the 1+ hour videos awesome to watch but very hard to understand - glad my video helped!
Stop lying

@@FrenchesOP We'll see 😄 One think I was wondering watching this is that how Zykov ate all the Elder Gods? I mean you can eat the undead and the dark aether material, but how do you eat a god 😂 Just start by chewing on a leg and hope the god doesn't notice it or what
@@DaniTheDead I think the phrasing used is absorbed or consumed, so maybe its their essence, or maybe he just straight up killed them once he was powerful enough and then just went to town LOL
@@FrenchesOP Okay thanks! That's some weird stuff 😆 And I love it!
23:53 most IMPORTANT part of the lore right here.
Wait a fucking second, the Dark Aether is just the Warp from Warhammer 40k
After finishing the recent zombie maps, wanted to get a rundown of the storyline. This was INCREDIBLE! Thank you a ton for this
Thank you man! I’ve actually got a new video later today going over the new map!
This made the storyline so much easier to comprehend. I didn’t even know about the daughter most videos don’t mention it
Call me crazy, but it seems like for the first couple games. They were just kind of throwing the story together. But honestly, thank you so much for this video. I’ve never been able to keep track of the storyline, but this definitely makes a lot of sense.
I needed this video to catch up, I haven't played COD in years. Fantastic work mate 👍
This is COD, FREAKING COD and i love it.
straight abd concise. easy to understand and well written. it shows that the lore of zombies is only as deep as one makes it. (though its still amazing)
This was so exciting! i did not expect you to be able to explain it all so easy and with so much flow. Your voice makes it so soothing too! Keep it up.
This is such a nice comment! Thank you for the kind words! I hope you have a fantastic day! ❤️
Great Video, this is all the information you need to understand the zombies storyline
Hell yeah! Got a new video on Citadelle Des Morts if you wanna be even more up to date!
I’m so happy you finally got the exposure you deserve on yt and congrats on 1k!!!!
You’re a legend ❤️
This is an amazing video, I hope you make more like this in the future!
@@Garm_o i absolutely will be! Thanks you for checking it out! I’m so excited to see where the story goes in BO6!
Thank you for the amount of effort you put into this video. This is a video I feel all cod players need to watch if they enjoy zombies. Thank you for the video. I subscribed.
Thank you man! I’ve actually got a new video later today going over the new map!
this was a masterclass! now that B06 is out id love to see whats gonna happen at dlc 1. keep up the good work
this is the best zombies video ever. thank you for making one so easy to follow and no infinity years long.
Thank you man! I’ve actually got a new video later today going over the new map!
the world at war menu music brings back MEMORIES
Spent 30+ minutes watching...
It's worth it👍
Man we need to share the fuck outta this video! Dude deserves to blow up ! The info and quality was TOP NOTCH!!!!
Thank you 🙏 I really appreciate it!
Round of applause bro. This was awesome
Awsome video and it is really informative, thanks! That part with Weaver gifting a not so fluffy dog to Samantha had me cracking🤣🤣
Did you know Sam had a dog, the one that turned into a hellhound in the original universe, was called fluffy?
Thank you man! I’ve actually got a new video later today going over the new map!
@FrenchesOP Cool beans!
Best video I've listened to while working. This is amazing
This channel is gonna be huge some day! Liked and subbed
ayy bro you're a legend! Hope you're excited for BO6!
Fantastic video, the best I've seen giving a summary ready for BO6!
Thanks so much GP! You're a legend!
That’s not how the pack machine was built. 4:48
Very well done! I'm all caught up now! Thank you so much!
Holy shit, amazing job on that video, perfect pacing and explanation! Well done mate!
Thank you bro! I appreciate that! There’s lots more to come! BRING ON BO6!
Remember when zombies was just about evil scientists... the full lore grew to be so exhausting
Pea brain lol
@rootv750 you really defending the dark ather storyline?
What a fantastic video and explanation of the complete time line. The best explanation by far.
Thank you
You're very welcome! Thanks for checking it out!
This just reminds me how Black Ops 2 was the absolute PEAK of zombies. Especially story-wise. We are in sad times now
I was watching for DA storyline and then i was like "Wait Samantha's lezbian???!!"
I think it really helps that this doesn't have the audio clips from the games tbh. Although they do add details, I feel like it's just easier to explain the clips in a short way since I think the tapes are a bit difficult to understand anyway
Black ops zombies story is so versatile yet easy to understand
I think the new story is a bit easier, but you need a doctorate to understand the complete complexities of WaW - BO4 haha
@@FrenchesOPthe way u put everything together tho made me finally understand it I was always so confused with the multi verse going back n forward but with ur take on the story it finally made sense 😂
Thank you for making this so digestible! This was awesome to watch
Thank you man! I’ve actually got a new video later today going over the new map!
Just got like 4 of my buddies all caught up with this video! Thanks! The hype is back with the new map coming out in a couple days!
Hell yeah! New video tomorrow if you need an explainer for what just happened in Citadelle!
"Not too short but not too long." Video I like it
Liked and subscribed.
Great video, man!
I really loved this video, inspires me to write a video essay of my own!!! I've loved the zombies story ever since I realized there was a story over 10 years ago. Great work!!!!!
Good damn video man STRAIGHT TO THE POINT W OUT THE OTHER 12hrs
this makes so much sense now the the sophia orb thing being the S.A.M ai and that the thing lurking in the water is project (or somthing) 13 which might be mayas brother or its the other boss idk good job though this helps so much!
I got so confused about the timeline during BO3 so thank you for making sense of it for me
You'll definitely get more support by creating such great videos. Just promise that you won't end up like those other freaking streamers and youtubers who think they know everything and all 🙄😊
Keep up the great work man
Nah man, theories and facts here, no “i know better than you do” ☺️
@@FrenchesOP thanks for understanding bro 😊
The accidental red eyes thing always is crazy to me how this lore just was built from the ground up
the jumpscares between every cod is crazy
Fantastic video bro! Ive always found this story so confusing but after this video it makes a lot more sense! (Still confusing but no where near as much haha).
Glad you enjoyed it! You’re awesome 🤩
personally havent bought a single cod since cold war and also didnt find it easy to connect cold wars lore to bo4 and previous, watched a 8 hour video i thought would cover everything and it only went to bo4 (my mistake). this video was great and very helpful for prep the day before bo6, thank you
I’m so glad it helped! Hope you’re enjoying bo6!
This video came in clutch considering I couldn’t/wouldn’t touch MWZ and Vanguard
They definitely weren’t everyone’s taste, but the storyline is massively expanded with the knowledge of both
Really well made and compact storyline, thanks for making this!
Thank you man! I’ve actually got a new video later today going over the new map!
liked and subbed great video man
Hell yeah man, more where this came from 😎
That alarm sound effect at 8:26 gives me ptsd everytime
Fr
Excited for this to drop!
🎉🎉🎉
Every time I get back into zombies I have to watch a storyline video to recap. Fabulous video, ready for the next zombies maps already!!!
Thank you man! I’ve actually got a new video later today going over the new map!
This suddenly makes me understand where A LOT of influence for the Monument Mythos series was drawn from. Both the scale, the willingness to just nuke an entire universe from existence as part of the story telling, the strange and obscure elements that don't seem to make sense for a long time and even the flavor of cosmic horror are really similar. Here I was thinking for a decade or so that this was just a game where you shoot hordes of undead and that's it 🤣
i watched many videos explaining the lore but this is the best. hoo lee sheet this is so good
I skipped every game after black ops 3 up to cold war so this was a nice informative for my time gap on zombies
damn dawg u fit all of zombies into a 30 mins video nice
The story has gotten so crazy and good since I’ve last played. Great video , makes me want to play all the ones I’ve missed now haha
Thank you man! I’ve actually got a new video later today going over the new map!
