    You didn’t miss out on much not playing it back in the day. You pretty much hit the nail on the head with your description though. It was brutally difficult and I only ever played it if I had friend with a DS irl with me. It was cool to have four exclusive maps but the system was so brutal that you couldn’t really enjoy it. My highest round solo as a kid was probably like 12.
    Excellent video overall! Glad to see someone dive into this forgotten mode after so long 😅.
    (Also I made that BO3 map shown off at 34:40 , was so happy when I saw it pop up in the vid lol)

    To be fair. Didn't console MW3 reuse a fair few models? I mean only so many ways you can do up an M4 that's standard military issue.

    • @LEXXPortPatrol
      @LEXXPortPatrol  Рік тому +8

      That is true! Though I feel the console MW3 also did a better job of making the assets go together a bit better as they were only re-using stuff from the other Modern Warfare games. N-Space made every DS CoD game and so could re-use assets from all of them if they wanted! While there was a bit of this in Black Ops here (the PPSH is from World At War) the different game models clash a bit more in Modern Warfare 3 where the AK47 from Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops now appear in the same game, with the MW2 one being renamed to something slightly different, or in some missions you might have brand new weapons for MW3 but the character models are all American soldiers wearing their vietnam uniforms. It’s not bad necessarily, and I don’t bring it up to bash the game or anything I don’t blame them for doing it, but especially if you played through all of them, it would really stick out!

    I absolutely adore this video. my first cod game was actually World at War on the DS and i bought it under the assumption that it would have the zombies mode, but alas, it didn't lol. so it was really nice to see you breakdown the zombies mode so extensively here as it was fulfilling a weird childhood wish that i had. definitely tho, the DS aesthetic really lends a hand here in making everything here strangely creepy along with it just being such a massive vibe inherently. this was such a lovely video lexi :-]

    This is the only Call Of Duty game I ever played on the DS but I enjoyed it. I also think it plays better on a 3DS thanks to that console including a smooth joystick which made moving your character a bit of a breeze compared to a regular DS. In terms of Nazi Zombies. Never played it as much although I did enjoy the campaign & training room. I remember discovering a cool easter egg in the locked Weapons Room that you can only unlock (i think) by increasing your weapon skills which has a crossbow. Great video as always Lexx!

    • @LEXXPortPatrol
      @LEXXPortPatrol  Рік тому +6

      The only possibility I can think of is that they made these changes to intentionally make the mode as short as possible - I’ve looked into it a bit more and didn’t bring it up because I could just be overthinking or whatever, but (according to the CoD Wiki at least I obviously couldn’t test this myself) once you start getting past Round 20 the AI of the zombies start to get really weird with them glitching and getting stuck in corners. If I had to guess, with the tight deadlines of the game, they probably didn’t have nearly enough time to polish the mode up and remove these glitches, so tried to make it harder so it would be more difficult to encounter them.
      Also on the other hand, with how the DS already struggles with rendering however many zombies there are on the lower rounds, maybe they struggled to make higher rounds more difficult normally as there was only so many zombies that could spawn at once? Who knows though to be honest, I think even with all that said, I don’t think having an extra hit before death would have made it THAT much easier, but would have definitely made it a LOT less annnoying

    19:07 Now that I think about it, maybe it's because on Black Ops you had to pack-a-punch the M16 to get the grenade launcher, but since there's no pack-a-punch on this version the devs might have still wanted the grenade launcher to be available so they made it 5000 (pack-a-punch price) points more expensive instead.

    I usually love your videos so I’ll try and be constructive here. This video could have been half its length, from talking in circles about points you already discussed, to an unusually slow cadence. The video topic is interesting and your observations seem fine but I feel like the video was lacking something else. Maybe more humor would really help from the video feeling boring. In previous entries there was more game content for you to talk about I think.
    This is all just my opinion and I could very well be the only one that thought this.

I think especially the shortness of the mode and the repetitive footage doesn’t help either, I think a lot of the time I would make call backs to previous points I had made without actually realising how soon after that point I was repeating it, it was hard to gauge until it was all put together - Something I’ll definitely try to mind in future!

    Okay, hear me out. It doesn't look like it, but the layout's almost the same. Door on most right, the stairs with a nearby window, three windows on most left. And a broken wall window (the window with a wall but no concrete on it. Just deformed bar). Alright, don't kill me, 'cause I have never played Zombies on DS, but is the most right door have the box?

      Yes that’s meant to be Nacht Der Untoten! Or at least, the best recreation of it I can make :) It has Patreon Patrol on the wall into introduce the segment, but it’s meant to be a low poly representation of Nacht! With a few changes - I make all these segments in After Effects and I can’t do very complex 3D shapes with it, so I turned the corner staircase into just a straight one! And I also probably got the scale a bit wrong too because I was making it based on some screenshots I took :’) But yes, that door would be the one that would take you to the room with the random box!

I think that would be cool to see. Sadly CoD4 doesn’t have online and is local only.

      A funny thing about the zombies pathfinding I forgot to mention in my original comment. On the 3rd room in House, the short wall in the middle of the room, if you run up against it, the zombies cannot hit you and instead will all pile up and stack onto 1 of 3 different places. It’s pretty funny and the charm is undeniable.

    For one thing this game and this mode were such a hyperfixation for me for the longest time and i always love seeing people give a legitimate deep dive into it rather than just look at and play it once and say how bad it is.
    Another is that i missed a lot of your more recent videos somehow and i was happy to see you upload again since ive been subbed for years now.
    But really the biggest part was finding out that you came out???? I was so happy to hear about that even if i am super late lmaooo. So of course, congrats on that! I actually came out myself around the same time as that tweet you showed. its almost uncanny the timing of it all lol.
    its always so nice to see people i've been following for a long time come out (its been a suspiciously common thing, i swear im following like 7 trans youtubers who werent out when i discovered them, yet are all into super obscure stuff like this. total coincidence right????) it always makes the world feel a little less lonely when i see this sort of thing, and i got so excited when you mentioned that xD

      Merry Christmas and Trans Rights!! ❤️ 🏳️‍⚧️ That is so amazing to hear hahaha! 7 UA-camrs, that’s so cool :’D mayhe you’re like a magnet pulling together as of yet unknowingly trans UA-camrs leading them to discover themselves x3 And the first point I totally agree! As I’ve made more videos I’ve definitely found myself more interested in specific parts of games and especially trying to give them a chance to stand on their own rather than compare it to other things, like I did in the original video where I was like “well it’s not like the actual Black Ops zombies so it must be bad” :’) it’s cool to shine a light on obscure things like that, even if they do end up being a bit bad but for different reasons than first expected :’D
