  • Call of Duty Black Ops IIII is not going to have a singleplayer campaign, but will have zombies with something unspecific to do solo. If Black Ops IIII does have zombies singleplayer, how good could it be?
    In this video, I analyse the last two Treyarch games to feature zombies.
    Also, the IIII for Black Ops IIII is silly.

    An interesting video for sure. I disagree with a lot, and I mean a lot, of your points, as well as questioning your approach (looking up guides for some maps and not others, the inconsistent methodology makes talking about the maps harder to parse, plus using godmode). However, it was nice to see some different perspectives on zombies from an outside view (I played from BO1 to BO4, so my knowledge of the mode is more in-depth). Overall, I liked the retrospective, and I think your editing is pretty good.

    • @ronnieradon

      Yeah honestly, using godmode/noclip for easter eggs really disappointed me when watching this retrospective along with DavidOZ's. The second you turn those on, I would argue you're no longer truly completing a zombies easter egg. It changes the experience SO much, effectively removing any challenge~ however unfair that challenge may be.

    I feel it all depends on where you were in your life that'll determine which Treyarch game had the better zombies mode. You can say that goes for most games in general. But I was 12 when BO2 was released so everyone in middle school was talking about the zombies mode and was hype for all of the maps. Those times were some of the best times in my life personally. I still remember those long summer nights playing non-stop zombies with all kinds of friends from school. Because of that I hold BO2 to a higher regard than most.

      Personally WaW was my first Zombies experience. It was so unreal seeing a Call of Duty game, especially a WW2 one, release with a zombies mode. I'm still impartial to WaW for many reasons, mainly because of familiarity, fond memories, and just appreciating the atmosphere and storytelling in it (even if it was barebones compared to future releases). I remember seeing all the trailers as they came out and being excited for each evolutio0n of the formula. They're not as ambitious or content heavy as future maps, but they're fun for what they are. I also just love the WW2 weapons over other eras.

    I know it's 4 years later but here are some great bo2 tips for some of the maps. From a self proclaimed pro at bo2.
    Tranzit:
    -if you run with a turbine out you knife faster. You can knife the denizens right before they get on your head and then knife a second time and they usually die. only slow you for a bit.
    -use the hatch on the roof of diner instead of the bus to get galvaknuckles. The bus roof is dangerous to stay on cuz it knocks you off anyways plus denizens become a 1 knife before they can latch on your head. Avagadro becomes a 3 knife. With tip 1 you'll never be using the bus anyways too.
    -leave 1 zombie before opening pap, leave the turbine, guide the zombie to the edge of the fog and kill it. Then run towards town. No zombies will spawn in power if you do this and your turbine will stay alive.
    -if you bring a denizen under a lit lamppost, they make a random tp that helps map traversal
    -pap m16 and train in the tunnel after you've fully set up. The wall buy is there so easy ammo and it's open.
    Die Rise
    -if you have 100% accuracy on jumping jack rounds you can get a free perk. Get galvaknuckles as soon as possible and only knife on those rounds to guarantee you get the perk.
    -put a trample steam on the window under the dragon stairs then camp that area. All the zombies will be coming from one side while the trample steam kills the ones behind you.
    Buried
    -the farther Leroy has to charge at the barriers he can break the more points you get
    -you can use Leroy to lock the box in one location by giving him candy
    -deposit all/most of your money in bank before going to witch house. Take your time, learn their spawn pattern and you'll be able to easily get out of the house and lose no points.
    -only the gates in the maze move so learning the hedge layout is important.
    I feel like mob and origins don't need as many tips, they're more Easter egg heavy so most of the tips would just be Easter egg steps.

Between those maps, I probably have over 1200 hours, let alone the other time spent trying to master the not mentioned maps. It was interesting to see someone else dive into what might be my favorite coop experience ever completely solo. Some of your points I thought were from a different planet, but all together, I thought your appreciation for the change ups in mechanics, and treyarchs desire to shake up the feel every map, was what really brought the community together. That platform is perfect for what they wanted to do, and it shows in their product. They LOVED zombies. Great video, thank you for sharing your dive into the series.

    Honestly this series sold me on buying Blops 3 complete when it was on sale and man it's so good. And a lot of the workshop zombie maps are either as good if not better then stuff Treyarch has put out. Wanted is probably my favorite zombies map ever made and it's a mod.

    Black Ops II was peak Zombies for me.
    Maybe because my friends and I spent so long doing the Easter egg for Origins (fuck Treyarch, if you try doing the Easter egg in custom game, it will crash at a specific point every time) but regardless, I love Origins.
    My favorite maps, in order, were:
    1.) Origins
    2.) Mob of the Dead
    3.) Buried
    Transit would rank in 4th, but it is a bit basic by the end of Black Ops II. I would still rank it above the Skyscraper one.
    Unfortunately, my friends kind of split apart around Black Ops III and we never were able to do any of the Easter eggs in it, even the first map, despite us giving it a few chances.

    this is a very well made video and you can tell he put a lot of effort into it, but man you missed the majority of the content. From bo2 (especially blundell maps which are origins and mob), the focus shifts from hit the box and survive, to easter egg quests which can help you survive even more. You say origins felt weak because you pretty much played it like you would play kino. Same with zetsubo, you say it felt barebones because you just unlocked pap. Not doing the easter egg once in zombies is like only stealing cars and driving around the map in gta without doing the missions. That's why pretty much most of your opinions are the exact opposite of the majority of the community, since you're only scratching the surface. Also, the lockdown sequence in gorod is so easy, just get a gun, upgrade it and go to the room on the left of where you spawn, leave the max ammo for when you run out of bullets.

    Wow i really enjoyed this video especially hearing a new perspective on these old maps. I just cant believe you never built the orgins staff or attempted the easter egg, which imo really makes origins stand out and der eisendrache bows , you really need to revisit these maps and give them a try with the wonder weapons.

  • @laggywarrior9014
    @laggywarrior9014 2 роки тому +3

    Gonna try to not flame you because my god have you already been roasted by this comment section so I’ll try to be nice about this. I think your issues with maps like origins and others is a bit petty. The panzer on origins is not that difficult. He is actually my favourite boss in the game because he pushes you to be ready for him. You cannot slack off on origins because once’s that round 7 comes along oh boy you will be beaten relentlessly. I’ve played the map probably hundreds of times with and without friends and by far the best strat is to run around no man’s land training the zombies and grenading him or shooting the hoard eventually he goes down. Your complaints with the wonderfizz are a bit petty as well because if you know the game, (which by the sounds of your opinions in the video and your admission) you don’t. You will know what perk you got by looking at the bottle and can decide if you want it or not. I’m not sure I understand your hatred of perks like electric cherry and phd flopper because cherry will save your life when reloading anything especially LMGs and phd will save your live if you have any splash damage gun. Examples being; ray gun, packed m1911, rpg, grenades etc. dead shot sucks I’ll admit especially on pc it’s almost useless. Which is why if you get it in the wonderfizz you don’t pick it up. Your complaints on origins are a bit odd because as you said, you didn’t even bother touching the staffs. Arguably the best part of the map. Your criteria for each map was good but I would have added atleast attempting the Easter egg for each map. Some are harder then others it took me nearly 2 weeks to get origins down pat but I loved each attempt. As for buried your complaints related to the banking system and the witches are also odd. I’ll admit the witches are annoying and the banking system can break the game. BUT you can break any game and take the fun out of it. Whether it’s exiting the map walls and progressing to where you wish to be or using god mode glitches. These things in games can break it and ruin the fun. But the thing about it is you choose whether to use them or not. Sure the banking system isn’t a glitch and was intended to be in the game but so was dead shot and (in your case) PHD but that doesn’t mean you HAVE to use them. The witches are a fun mechanic and are not difficult to kill especially with any shotgun, ray gun, or sniper. Once your thru the mansion you get a free perk which is a great reward. And as for the maze, cmon man. It’s a maze, your 25, my 6 year old nephew can do them. So can you. And running into a dead end isn’t a death sentence. You simply use nades, monkeys, or whatever gun you have (if you have the map exclusive you can jump over the walls) and once you are through the maze you can camp at the pack a punch and save up again to be able to pack a punch. It’s a great camping spot almost as good as jug and even better then jug if you have 2 people. Which I know you didn’t but still. Over all it’s a good video but I think you should have seen how little experience you have with all these maps and games and known that you shouldn’t review it as your not in a place to review it. The staffs alone tell me that

    PhD flopper in accention is straight up broken. Use it with pap pistols for explosive immunity allowing you to escape being surrounded. Second you can just flop off the main platform and kill zombies if you run out of ammo. Which happens a lot

    As someone who’s played almost every iteration of zombies (except vanguard and exo zombies) I have some disagreements with this video but it was very interesting to see the perspective of someone outside the zombies community comment on it, this had monumental effort put in and for that I appreciate it. However, research and knowledge on what you’re commenting on is incredibly important and you’ve missed a lot but as someone who isn’t balls deep into zombies probably doesn’t know how useful said items are. (Moon hacker, hells retriever/redeemer, calling phd flopper a shit perk without having used it) all in all good video but needs some extra talking points and research.

    So, I haven't played Zombies since World at War's Nacht Der Untoten. I bought Black Ops 3 with the Zombie Chronicles on the Xbox just to play Zombies. Needless to say. It's been a long time since. With the new stuff about this game mode. I have no idea what I am doing if I am honest. Videos like this are why I decided to get back into this game mode. I guess I can say that I am fairly new to all this. In a way.

    there’s no way he said PhD wasn’t useful when it was removed for being too strong, but Vulture Aide is. even tho it’s ability to see thru walls becomes entirely useless and actually cluttered/annoying when you play the map a lot and know where everything is
    other than that i agree with most of the points. tho on Mob, EC wasn’t added to “replace Mule Kick” it was added as a defensive mechanic due to the many tight corridors you mentioned before.

    I never really had any issues with the dragon strike waves
    It may be a bit of a surprise the first time around and may catch you offguard but i think it adds replayability
    The challenge is something I anticipate and prepare for
    The biggest issue with it is the ammo distribusion
    Just get yourself a gun with a lot of ammo and double tap
    Use the shield's attack when you're cornered
    Even if it doesnt have any remaining ammo
    Go to each of the windows as they open and pay attention to where the zombies are coming from and dont let them even get passed the barricade
    Dont use the max ammo at the pack a punch until the final wave
    And you're good
    It is a test of endurance but a welcome one to me with a good reward
