I loved every treyarch game except bo6, cold war and bo4. If u ask me I feel like world at war would've sold more but remember a lot of other people didn't jump into cod until bo1.
Yeah I was a sophomore that time. Just finished college and going to graduate soon. This was also the time where peak Overwatch was there and it was tough for me to choose either Bo3 or Overwatch in terms of playing.
BO3 sales are due to custom maps... If they want to profit like crazy, they need to make a zombie dedicated game with a custom map builder built in that you can upload and share with people to download from the actual game(in game)
not entirely true, a big part is customs don't get me wrong but I was still buying the DLC in 2020 for playstaion. But yeah if they just made zombies its own thing, they could even monitise custom maps making you have to buy a pack to be able to make and play customs and I wouldn't mind. as long as there isn't annoying microtransactions
Is a good game but overrated imo i enjoyed 1 2 4 and world at war a lot more. If infinite war had better guns i would enjoy it more then 3 still a amazing game.
Who knew that making a good product with tools for the community to maintain it on its own would make a long term success, am I right? Been wanting to get it for a while, but I need a proper PC first lol
@BigTiffany bo6 is based in LA, and the hourly rate for developers is an average of $56USD. Treyarch and Raven developed the game, and let's say a total of 300-400 people worked on the game full time. The game was in development for 4 years. 56x350=19,600 an hour in wages Developers can range from 40-80 hours a week depending on crunch time. 19,600x60=1,176,000 a week in wages. Let's say they only work 48 weeks a year. 1,176,000×48=56,448,000 a year. 56,448,000x4=225,792,000 for the 4 years. $225.8m is a rough but fair estimate for how much was spent in just wages for bo6. Add marketing, bonuses, unforeseen spending, legal fees, actors' salaries, and you're looking at basically $700m
What people need to understand is WHY Bo3 is the best selling Zombies, and it's really quite simple. BO3 has THE MOST replayability because it has FAST RESTARTS, and FREE GobbleGums. It's really that simple! Speedrunners have to restart over 100 times a day when they play a map. On Bo6 it's takes so long to restart - that it's enough to make people quit. Also, they don't give enough gobblegums for you to practice runs! Custom Zombies is great, to play "a few times" with Christmas Maps and stuff for fun - But the reason people keep going back to BO3, is simply because of (fast restart) and then also you have infinate gums to practice all day/night, which is what these speedrunners are playing! I don't know why they don't just add fast restart to all the CODS, more players would Speedrun them if they did! And lets be honest, Speedrunners, or player doing challenges are the only people constatnly playing these games today!
@@udavidzzz I am get to stick with old call of duty zombies since it’s not going anywhere and I think it’s because people like old call of duty like me they just feeling of it which make sense :)
It’s crazy when you consider that BO3 is the best selling COD of all time … but I still can’t find a lobby if we’re not including TDM (and I pay a lot of Internet so it can’t be that)
@ Nah 24, smoked every day for 5 years. Just noticed how fk ed up peoples brain got from that Bs. Especially those who think they have it under control.. for medical purposes it’s great. But other than that, it’s just like Alkohol or nicotine.
as a new zombies player started with cold war, i went to bo3 and its so much fun my friends did the ee’s with me and they were a blast going for prestige master on bo3 zombies. der eisendrache is peak
Honestly I feel like what they should do is remake every map, sell it as Call of Duty: Zombies, have it like warzone as it's own thing and then do new maps throughout the year and essentially treat it as it's own thing, the only part I'm still trying to work out is like after that year do they then just keep doing new maps etc for free and do BP/MTs to fund development or do a yearly release (Like CoD MP/Campaign) and charge for it, what are other people's thoughts to this idea?
Ever since BO2 launched, I've only played COD for the Treyarch zombies mode, ESPECIALLY the custom zombies and the mod tools that come with BO3 and WAW and also BO2 with modding via Plutonium and other BO2 modding tools. I'd probably revisit BO1 with some mods if I had BO1 on PC. I used to play MP in MW3 2011/BO2/BO1/MW2 2009, where there wasn't SBMM/EOMM or disbanding lobbies or crazy skins or overpriced microtransactions or certain harmful ideologies being promoted.
I still play bo3 till this day currently I’m trying to redo the shadows ee it’s the best version of zombies and will likely never be topped now. PLEASE TREYARCH, ACTIVISON BRING OUT A PS5 VERSION OF THE GAME AKA 120 fps and 110 FOV
Neither, I can’t wrap my head around it. I was saying this 2 years ago when it was only gonna be 8 haha. Just doesn’t feel that long since we’ve had a true instalment
Truth is Treyarch made the pinnacle of zombies experience with BO3, with some of the best maps during its cycle plus zombies chronicles (and don’t even get me started on custom zombies cause that’s almost a whole new game on itself), but not only that, they also made a great multiplayer with BO3 being arguably the best feeling futuristic mp. Campaign was mid but still fun specially when playing co-op with friends or trying to beat it on realistic. Nightmare campaign added even more replayability to the usually one and done campaign. Freerun was a nice bonus to take advantage of jetpacks too. Treyarch made a game that could last a decade; even more than that. BO3 is the antithesis of activision’s market vision since they want to make games to only last its year cycle, but BO3 it’s still going. I have stopped buying cod but I still play BO3. Makes you wonder how crazy it would’ve been if it had a great campaign and a way to at least play some custom maps on console (I have no knowledge on why it’s not possible so please don’t go too hard on me). It’s no wonder Activision doesn’t want another BO3 despite community showing again and again how much they like BO3.
I’ve also seen an increase of people defending BO4 lately saying we should have given it a chance.(I personally don’t hate it) Not sure if it’s cause the chaos story being implemented in BO6
Just bought 3 copies during the holiday season as Christmas presents for the squad so we can play CZ together! 🤙🏼 It was the last time zombies was relevant in CoD after all!
Weird thinking games like Bo3 & Halo 5 turning 10 years old this year. I hate Bo3 (same as Halo 5), but I'm glad it found an audience because there is a clear quality to it.
I only came back to play zombies. I’m 36 years old with the family and this is the only reason why I came back to play call of duty bo3 was the goat imo
Man I always played cod as a kid but I got into zombies in cold war and was hooked on it and the lore so I started playing every other game and I love every one. Cold war will always be my fav but bo3 zombies is undisputed.
These numbers have to be inflated or something. BO2 is consistently the top seller cod on Xbox and Steam whenever it goes on sale. How’s bo3 sales so high?
Its starting to get hard to remember 😅 BO3 On the PS4 (My personal choice back then) felt like the old cods at this point when I think back on it. It really did had some aspects that were eerie in the old cods way. Now it just feels like a normal shooter. not just talking about zombies 😢
I bought BlackOps 3 for the Xbox 360 so I wouldn't miss out on playing the new call of duty, and I had no intention of buying the game again for the Xbox One. But after I learned that Zombies actually has a rich and very fascinating story, I literally only bought BlackOps 3 for last gen for Zombies and Zombies Chronicles. Haven't regretted the decision at all!
In January of 2020 MW2019 had the lowest player base of a new game in cod history yet it sold the most of all time at that point?🤔 they must’ve been including warzone “sales”
At $60 a game, Activision made approximately 2.58 BILLION! 😮. Even if u consider discounts and deals, and development, they still made north of 1.5 BILLION easily. Crazy.
Just release the zombies as their own game. Redone on modern engine, as long they keep atmosphere of maps with remake, and classic mechanics (at least mode if not main form).
Zombies is the only reason I’m still playing BO6
Same here.
Fair

Get customs on pc , new zombies are so different that they are not zombies anymore HAHAHAH
I loved every treyarch game except bo6, cold war and bo4. If u ask me I feel like world at war would've sold more but remember a lot of other people didn't jump into cod until bo1.

$700m to make a CoD compared to the $450m and get more sales just shows how far talent goes.
Or inflation, games are generally more expensive to make, game storage size shows
Majority is spent on marketing. Maybe only $250m-$300m is spent on actually making the game

The boys and I have been running bo3 a few weeks after bo6 kept disappointing
they also lied about it because they reused tons of assets and included those in their costs.
