    Hope you enjoyed the video! This review was a blast to work on and I'm so happy with how it came out except for the 45 music title cards which all say Fire Emblem Enage and not Engage. Thank you all so much for 15k subscribers!
    But let me know what you all thought of the new music (if you could even hear it) wanted to try something that wasn't the same 14 tracks from my other reviews and I thought it worked really well this time around

      It's always good to slowly add more of your personality. I love how you review because it's your thoughts. So this also applies to music. We all are fans of other series. I just don't want Stanley557 to be that one person who does zombies. Stanley557 is Stanley557. That being said, I'm still shocked to hear fire emblem music underrated OST same with the persona series.

      @garciaeddie5 so sadly I don't play many other games it's why most of the music was zombies for so long so I was really happy to listen to Engage's ost and felt it was a good fit for the video. Hopefully one day I'll be able to pull a bunch of different music as it fits each scenario and topic. Glad you enjoyed it!

    The worst part about it is I genuinely felt duped, the insane dropoff in support and continued content is so felt throughout the entire game, especially in the season graphics showing all the new content and consistently relegating Zombies to a tiny little corner if even in the picture at all.

We can talk it up to it being time/covid/warzone blah blah blah. But if bo6 follows the same fate then its not time/covid/warzone. Its the dev team. Cause they got four years and a lot of money and resources. Sooooooo we will see if treyarch still has what it takes or they just dont know what they doing

  • @vonlistgaming

    MWZ was decently fun but that fun will always be subjective as videogames should be. I don't blame Treyarch for getting out early, but the lore of MWZ had to beat around the bush being set after the largest entry in the DA timeline. This led MWZ to be one big teaser for BO6 while leaving a small crack in the door in case they need to magic up another modern zombies mode in the future.
    There's NO proof I have a bias here, but I think Vanguard gave us more purposeful worldbuilding with the lore even if the mode was cashbait like MWZ. One of the two got an ending though...

    • @andy9476
      @andy9476 2 місяці тому +1

      I don't really know if we can say Treyarch got out early, as in it was their choice, since I am pretty sure that Activsion forced a studio swap to put Treyarch in full force on BO6. The really unfortunate thing is that the studio that was put in charge if i am remembering correctly had lost almost half its staff in a massive firing that hit multiple Activision studios. Though I don't remember who took over without looking it up.
      Plus for having a 4 year build time on BO6 Treyarch picked up alot of work at Activisions demand for Sledgehammer twice in that 4 years. They had to do the full build and support on Vanguard zombies, on an engine that didn't have anything for zombies setup, which is why it didn't launch with round based and didn't have it planned until the backlash turned too severe. Than they setup/launched and supported for about what 3-5months on MW3: Zombies.

  • @Ermac43
    @Ermac43 2 місяці тому +10

    As someone who’s played every zombies experience since the OG WaW I enjoyed my time with MWZ and I think if another studio like Sledgehammer or IW take the reins of MWZ with the proper time to develop and good post launch it could be a huge mode along side Treyarch’s traditional round based.
    I think zombies as a mode has so much room to experiment and provide a variety of experiences, but it’s all how it’s handled and unfortunately MWZ just wasn’t handled the best. MWZ was definitely unique and provided me with an experience I wouldn’t get from any other COD zombies mode so hopefully this idea isn’t thrown to the wayside and another studio picks it up and runs with it. Great video Stanley.

    I still overall enjoyed my time on MWZ, & I’m glad 3ARC keep trying open world zombies (something that I think can work exceptionally well with proper care). I will say the mode is infinitely more fun when you bypass the cooldowns with Tombstone (surprised you didn’t mention it, especially early on it was so valuable, even still nowadays), though it’s unfortunate it feels necessary to break the game to keep playing more than a couple runs every couple of days. Great video!

    Also excellent video you and I basically share the same thoughts and opinions on what went well and what went wrong this was definitely a great project at first but then got left in the dust due to SHG not being a very capable studio (sorry advanced warfare fans i promise im one of you) and pressures from Activision and Microsoft plus treyarch being pulled between their own project and this.
    Edit.
    Speaking on replayability but this mode is also entirely online and given how unpopular it is I definitely don't see it's servers being left on for very long let alone people playing it unless they're absolutely hardcore outbreak fans but once Microsoft/Activision pull the plug thats it I'm surprised DMZ still has servers tbh.

I can't remember which studio took over but if my memories function they lost between 25-40% of their staff i think a few weeks before the handover news.

    Nothing like a 2-hour long GOATley557 video to listen to while I work on stuff. MWZ definitely had a strong start, despite all odds, but they fumbled it straight out the gate with middling updates in favor of shifting focus on BO6 (which is probably a good thing in hindsight, but I still can't help but feel slighted after spending $60 on this). This type of game mode definitely has potential though in future zombies entries, but I feel with how MWZ was treated by the developers (and frankly the playerbase) any chance of that is squandered.

      The problem I had with mwz was for its story. There wasn't any good main antagonist. I mean think about it.

    A small comment on the small tidbit of Ava dialogue you pointed out in the Act 2 cutscene: The first half of her dialogue seems like someone trying to parse through their own thoughts, but Treyarch didn't want to add any um's or uh's, because, while it humanizes a character, it doesn't entirely make for good writing, as it doesn't entirely flow well.
    This argument does fall apart when Selma interrupts, however, because holy crap is that direction god awful on Treyarch's part.

Sure it sucks that it didn't get much support, but I'm just so glad it exists in the first place. This mode gave me exactly what I wanted back in mw2019 when the spec ops was advertised as giant missions in an open world type environment. It's not for everybody, but I love this mode and I'm gonna continue playing it alongside old and new round based maps

Hope one day we get a new map and it comes back. But yea the story was mediocre.

    The strangest part about the entire MWZ cycle was the day after S5 reloaded dropped. The tonal shift in how matches are played and more the shift of the playerbase that's left playing now is so different from the rest of the game's life cycle. Before every game had the entire lobby in T3 and now T3 is a ghost town. T3 has been consistently empty ever since S5R now and its so strange. There's never been any other instance in another title where we see such a drastic shift in how a match plays out. Now I basically have the triangles to myself instead of having to rush into T3 at the start of a match even with portal knowledge and still not be fast enough because 3 scorchers would still beat me there. Easily set myself up for the next match with 2 crystals & tools still leaving the bulk of the game to grind out the mastery calling card challenges without needing to worry about loot for next match.

    The deeper parts of MWZ just feel ungodly complex for something that was supposedly geared towards casuals. I personally dont really care because it gives the hardcore players more to do but the setup just for good items and stuff will never feel worth it and is why I am just havent fully gotten into the mode. I could spend a day of my time doing stuff and feel I've progressed so little in MWZ and its so demoralizing especially when you lose stuff. And solo play feels actively discouraged for once.

    7 minutes in you talk about how side missions are designed to be picked up along the way not sought out. As someone who has recently given this game a change I gotta say I spend all my game time seeking out the same objectives that match whatever mission the game is forcing me to complete.
    For example I didn’t know where else to find frost bullet ammo except Aether hives so I kept doing those buildings over and over again until I got what I needed to kill 10 dogs or whatever.

    After purchasing this for 70 dollars, been playing and having a good time when the game works, the flaws this game has shows themselves VERY clearly. It pains me too cause in concept its a cool idea but in execution became abandoned now by the devs. I was nearing the completion of act 3 but since this review and how you described things in this mode (and point out complaints even I had), I've personally seen enough and played enough of what this game has to offer. Do I hate it? No I don't. What pushes me away? The internet connection issues (seriously how are servers this unstable?) and losing all your gear to things beyond your control. I wanted this game mode to be good and it had everything ready for it to be good but really felt like it flopped hard. I'll happily wait for Black ops 6 to see what Treyarch puts on the table in terms of zombies content, but until then I'll stick with WaW-BO4 zombies, and IW zombies for my zombie slaying needs. Just a shame that this mode was abandoned.

    I think my issue with MWZ from an Extraction Shooter fan perspective is that the game feels like it's trying to be an Extraction Shooter without the substance of an Extraction Shooter. Which is most likely due to Treyarch suddenly being told to make a Zombies mode for this game, so they quickly combined Outbreak with DMZ which was an Extraction Shooter. I really like MWZ at launch but as time has gone on it has gotten incredibly stale, I just don't feel like there's anything to do, I don't have any real reason to replay any of the content because it just isn't engaging.
