➤ Full Zombies Retrospective Series: • Verruckt - The Forgott...
Moon’s Area 51 spawn location has got to be one of the most interesting spawns ever. Instead of directly starting in the main spawn room, you begin in a chaotic hell hole that will destroy you if you’re not careful. This place is so neat, because it allows everyone to get some early points before things pick up, but skilled players can stay longer and train to get jugg or even pack a punch before round 1 even starts. It’s great because its optional, you don’t have to stick around, but doing so is rewarding. Moon starts really strong with a surge in adrenaline that gets your blood pumping.
So from here you teleport up to Griffin station, and obviously the first thing you’re going to realize is…. “Im in space”.... Now this again, is one of the more unique game features we’ve seen in zombies. The first thing that comes from this is the obvious lack of oxygen which will result in your death if you don’t put your PES system on immediately. And the PES system itself has a huge effect on how this map will be experienced. It probably cuts your audio down by 80% so zombies and gunshots become extremely quiet. If you haven’t noticed, Moon is a pretty desolate map to begin with, but once you put that suit on, everything just becomes bleak. You feel alone, and for the first time since nacht, truly isolated. Not having sounds can be annoying though and It’s certainly understandable as to why many dislike this feature. So right out the gates, in an attempt to stand out Moon is polarizing.
But the other big change we see is a reduction in gravity. This is another bold change to the core gameplay, which put off a lot of players. It forces you to be extra careful when moving in a game that already demands it. This also makes zombies move slower, and less predictably. They sort of bob around, and it can be harder to tell if you killed them as they usually just float away. Anti gravity isn’t feature I love, but it certainly adds to the immersion. Plus there are tons of places, where it isn’t in effect like the tunnels and bio dome, so you’re not forced to experience it all game.
One other thing that immediately stands out on Moon is that it looks horrible. Now yeah, I get it. It’s the moon, it’s supposed to look barren, and that’s not what I mean. No, for some reason, the entirety of the map’s saturation feels like it has been intentionally reduced. It’s not just the moon itself that’s grey, it’s everything. The spawn, the labs, all the structures. The only place that looks decent is the purple area in tunnel 6. Overall It’s a grey cold and boring map. And while this first sets a strong tone, over time the novelty wears off. Combining this with minimal sound makes for an experience that at times is just utterly lacking in stimulation. And really, Unless you’re training in the bio dome, the gameplay just feels flat. In the BO3 remake, they do an incredible job of fixing this issue, but that topic is for another day.
Anyway, apart from the core changes, Moon isn’t all that different and actually plays pretty similar to everything in it’s past. It’s got the working parts of a Black Ops 1 DLC map: box wonder weapon, some sort of special enemy, simple pack a punch, more than 4 perk machines, all spread out over a pretty large area. Take out the space element, and it's not a whole lot different from Call of the Dead. Moon is the most expansive Black Ops 1 map, but it’s still a black ops 1 map, and I think fans tend to over inflate its overall content.
So in terms of your standard additions, Moon actually came with a new perk: Mule Kick, yeah that guy, we’ve seen him once or twice. Mule Kick was a much needed addition and through adding a third weapon slot the developers opened up the game a lot, to allow for many different combinations of weapons. This made the crossbow and ballistic knife way more viable and It also helped with the Black Ops 1 ammo problem. And I mean, mule kick has gone on to be in every treyarch zombies map apart from tranzit, so it was a pretty huge addition.
Another new feature on moon was the astronaut. Oh boy. So special enemies are implemented in maps to help spice things up from the monotonous repetitive nature of zombies gameplay. Historically the best ones add chaos while also rewarding you with something equal to their challenge. Hell hounds are a simple boss, with a simple reward. Margwas are a tough boss that give you one third of the most powerful wonder weapon ever. Okay. But see the astronaut doesn’t do either of these things. When you hear the astronaut spawn in, do you feel any semblance of the way you do when you hear a panzer siren? - Ігри
I can’t believe they made Moon in real life, that’s how much impact the easter egg had.
@@TheSmithPlays we should sue the galaxy for stealing the concept.
The Nuke is just Coronavirus
BSJ IN YO HOUSE I swear you everywhere I go. For now on I’m replying to every comment of yours I see
nah moon was around before the cod moon
POPPY SEED your missing the joke...
Telling your friends that there’s an Easter egg you get by dolphin diving into the abyss was so much fun
Monky Man “some men just want to watch the world burn” 😂😂😂
I fell for that when playing with randoms when i was 9
nahh buried packapunch was the REALLL goat for that lmaoo
@@officialaustenmorpho3224 what do you mean tricking people into falling there, I fell there by myself
@@urstepmom5580 he means when you didn't activate the portal. So it kills you instead of teleporting you.
TheSmithPlays: moon is really bleak because the saturation is low
Ascension: *sweats nervously*
All 4 bo1 dlc maps were bleak at some point. Even Shangrila. They laked color intensity. Kino and Five too but much less.
MW2: *sweats VERY nervously*

was about to comment that
Popthiccle If you but the bowie knife and have the ballistic knife you get both, and is really the only reason the buy either
@@remiington4692 everyone knows that, im saying he specifically shows the bowe knife and not the actual part that does all the work

Can't wait for Tranzit.
We all are rn
Blake Salem no
Lol same
Fedora_ _Thexplora. i can
@@yaboi5944 yes
Can't wait for lex to say "true" to this whole video
Truuuuee
That's a copied comment from his cotd retrospective good try tho man 😂
true😂
Can't wait for lex's reaction to hearing Patrick delayed the review of Transhit
True
moon is a banger map you cant change my mind
TALK TO EMMM🗣🗣💯💯💯
it is
Tanzit is better
No one can
Dont worry it's a joke lol
Me patiently waiting for the day where Pat somehow manages to convince me that Tranzit is not a terrible map
That sad part is its gonna happen😂
John H it’s not
John H it’s not terrible
I love transit
@Filmz Wit Kdawg Personally, I'm not a fan of the map, but I think that if tranzit was on next-gen it would have been received much better. The main reasons people hate the map were just implementations to make the map playable since the last-gen consoles were starting to get really limited in their performance capabilities. I still had fun on the map, but it's a shame that the technical aspect held it back.
Anyone remember when Pat got triggered by the astronaut and had a long rant on how much of an asshole he is for taking your perks, etc. 🤣🙌🏻
Pat 2014:He sTEales YoUR PeRkS
That trip him weh 😅🤣🤣
I remember when he complained about the excavators
@@johnmartinez1866 I remember his top 5 fails vid where he ran into an excavator and had a game over. Lol no offense Patrick if you're reading this. 😆👌🏻❤
I mean, he steals your fucking perks, that’s enough for me to not play the shit map
He didn't even mention the teleporting crawlers
They only spawn in the labs so their not really that memorable
@@johnvarnell8001 they are
or the excavators
@@johnvarnell8001what? Kidding me right. Get lost here man.
Face it the guy did these videos for money or else he would of done research and his experience I bet most of this video was just made to say "this map is a map".
Pat: “this map sucks”
Also pat: A TIER
yeah there’s a lot of contradiction in these videos...
When you’re here before pat
Matt is gonna be pissed when he sees this
As if he forgot space dog 😤
Why would he be pissed? Pat put it as an 8.9/10
Who?
Best map remaster ever hands down
JJLE They remastered it in chronicles right?
not even close lmao
Nick Fiorentino yes it’s so fun in bo3 it’s alright in bo1 moon is perfect for the bo3 engine
I would say Origins is the most fun remaster, but Moon definitely was improved on the remastered version so it's the best in my opinion. Origins didn't really improve in many ways per se.
What’s the difference between BO1 moon and BO3 moon
My personal fav map bro so many good memories with the boys especially
That's what makes maps the best is those memories with the boys.
@@BOZAK115 amen brother
Jake Manzella nice pfp
Saved up my pocket money as a kid to buy this DLC, so many good memories from it, you can't beat low gravity
"mule kick in every map apart from tranzit"
this came from the guy who claims MotD was his favourite map along with Origins lmao
Moon really does make you feel isolated and polarised.
Lmao the beginning was me the first 20 or so times I played it 😂
It’s sad to see this map doesn’t get a lot of love. This is my second favorite map of all time.
Same
Same here, just went for high rounds on it a couple weeks ago
Dude people say this but I rarely see anyone playing this map on Xbox and PC for years now.
@@z304legendbo1 version is messy most people go back to bo3, besides it’s a hard map with randoms
Moon is genuinely my favorite map(my second favorite being shadows) but I love how it takes the bo1 challenge and gives you interesting unique places to train and awesome weapons to kill. The Easter while rng focused has one of the coolest endings of any ee.

"Top 10 photos taken before disaster"
7:43 that's a weird way of saying "ninety-nine"
justinjacquez766 Nein ne NIEN
Hahaha I noticed that
He's Canadian it's his accent. I'm from Wisconsin and I apparently have a heavy accent
He sounds Chinese... bing bong!
Pomegranate your racist nigga
I can already feel lex pausing after every sentence to scream ‘true’ at the chat
Some of the best memories was on this map
ModernMaster stole my pfp
@@relyes327 "Mission failed we'll get them next time"
Yep
YES
Tranzit was lol. Curious that the worst map brings the best and funniest memories
I used to remember watching moon’s trailer it was so scary because it looked so realistic. But it was one of the best maps i ever i played!
Moon is my favorite map. The only thing i hate is the excavators. Other than that its perfect.
The Astronaut definitely isn’t the scariest boss, or even close for that matter. But he’s made me jump the most out of all the other bosses when you’re running from a hoard and he’s just behind the door ready to have his way with you
i love moon, that map was a real banger
If this map was the BO2 Launch map (and they toned down the complexity a tad bit so new players could pick it up and have a good time) along with TranZit then I think it’d be more appreciated
"up to round 24"
*Gets Vietnam flashbacks of round 30+ EE runs on bo1"
Moon is probably in my top 5 favorite Maps of all time
6:13 Wrong! Mule Kick wasn’t in MOTD either
Sheffboys wasn’t it in the docks?
Ace Prolific it is there but it’s not accessible
Ace Prolific It was outside of the map
Sheffboys so it was in motd
Sheffboys it wasn’t in Nuketown either
These videos are amazing pat, I love to see you become passionate about each and every map. I am hyped for the BO2 maps and I cannot wait you see what comes next on the channel.
This series is so amazing, im so excited for the the rest of the videos in the series! Thank you Pat!!!
I look forward to this every week, the quality and detail you put into these videos is incredible, keep them coming!
yeah. here’s what your reviews are missing: high rounds. this map does a lot great. but i think high round gameplay is absolutely awful, rng dependent and frustrating. you should touch on that more.
Bo1 high rounds are frustrating in general. Mystery box luck and dependent on traps is annoying and time consuming
it's because he can't get past round 20
??? After getting Wawe gun and Gersch devices out of the box, it aint that bad.
High rounds in bo1 are almost impossible anyway lol terrible engine
Black Ops 1 high rounds are always hit or miss. I say this because I’m excluding Kino and Ascension as they’re relatively simple to get to 100 just obviously time consuming. The rest are exactly as you describe just not exclusive to moon.
"I'm in space!" Dunkey's amazing.
do you know where its from?
@@azoouh7950 its beeg beeg yoshi by videogamedunkey
Your editor has been on fire for the series omg it is amazing!!! You can tell alot of effort has gone into it! Love your work pat 😍
I love this series keep it up!
Moon was the first crazy EE ending. It was tedious and rewarding as hell. You gotta have quality players to play this map.
Agree with the play one, but the easter egg is easy one of the easier easter eggs, it just require some luck and is much easier if you play with someone else
You think I don’t know what you’re doing pat?
We all know you’ve been wearing the beanie to cover up that homemade quarantine haircut
Hey pat great video! Been a real inspiration here on youtube
Editor was on point for this episode, great job
Ready for Lex to say true throughout the whole video
jaxx attax true
Big negative is needing everyone to be on teleporter to go to pack
I remember thinking at the time of release that this was the best map of all time, still have a soft spot for it and love to go back and play it once in a while! Keep up the great work Pat! This series has provided us some of the best content we’ve had for a long time!
Love these videos! Thanks :)
So sad that lee Ross left cod. He gave us so many good memories
What?
Santi H he left trearch and it was announced today.
Bruh noo why i loved tranzit
@@dhosi24 bruh Lee ros not jimmy
Dhosi lee Ross not jimmy
I want the shadows of evil video now, i can't wait whole bo2...
I_AcTiivE_x shadows is so good!
Soon...
Love the series, good to have you back man
This is becoming the highlight of my week. So well done
Both one of the most fun and and of the most annoying maps.
This was my favorite Easter egg to do.
You showed us really good points of view of the map, keep going !
you sumarise it perfectly... the "worst good map" of all time... it has many interesting things but so many rustrating one... what a waste...!
TheChattounet .......you use...... too many....... pauses........ why........?
worst good map ? its either its good or bad lmao
@@ayeitsdayday1471 damn you're 90 IQ don't talk when youre stupid please, the worst of the good can also mean it's a good map but nothing compare the better one
TheChattounet No thats fucking stupid as hell. its either its good or its bad no fucking inbetween and some maps sucks ass. only maps that even comes close to moons is probably MOTD or Origins and thats it other maps play the same after bo2
AyeItsDayDay wtf are you on about
I have a love hate relationship with this map 😂
Moon hurt me too much to love it.... natch is an easier map for me which is sad...
Love the series pat keep em comin
Love this series man 🙌🙏
“Treyarch’s most ambitious map to date”
Tranzit: Am I a joke to you?
To date meaning up to the date that that map was made. Tranzit came after Moon.
Transhit was a map that caught covid 2012🌝
"To date"
Moon was easily the best remaster
And this is how you make a youtube video, great job! Really think you are one of the best youtubers around
Damn these some high quality videos Pat
Interior crocodile alligator?
I drive a Chevrolet movie theater
Ily both
You are an amazing human being
My 415s woke up the neighbors
this guy said nuke town coming after i swear to god if tranzit ain’t next week we gon throw hands
Tranzit's the best map.
It isint did you hear him he said he has been working very hard and nuke town will be easier then transit so he’s having time to prepare for transit
Next map is diner turned plz
RidgeX I think Diner, farm, and Town will be included in the tranzit retrospective as well, I know the comment was a joke but I think that is most likely
@@frankfoster5157 right
Best series on your channel since the Zhouse! Great work.
Love these series, keep em up Pat!
Who else remembers when pat was an absolute savage in his old top 5s 😂
Moon is my favorite map ever. It’s perfect except for the excavators
I always got such a creepy vibe from moon
I’m glad you’re back pat
I love moon. I know there's a lot wrong with it, but it's still my favorite map.
edit: I did see someone say bonce that the astronaut lets you get teleported to the other side of the map if both excavators are blocking the tunnels. This would only happen if you're new to the map, but I guess this is kinda true.
Would you still say that if it didn't have the dome
BoSSman I mean u can use girch devices too but gobblegums really fixed that issue with both the excavators fucking you and ur team over
The moon DLC was released on my birthday
When Germany invaded the USSR that was on my birthday
When the Americans gained independence from Great Britain, that was my birthday
When Stephen hawking died that was my birthday
when i was born it was my birthday
Another amazing video Patrick
I get so hyped for these episodes every week
How did bro have 2.99 mil subs 3 years ago and has 2.89 now 😭
"Mule kick is on every map except tranzit"
Mob of the dead (The best map ever): Am i a joke to you?
@@TheSmithPlays ive literally never played grief so idk
@@internetexplorer1113 you missed out
Jason Almeida I recently played grief on town and grief is extremely fun and I don’t know why they haven’t brought it back
absolutely loving this series
Love the series, keep going!!
When your here before pat
Calling it now, by the end of this only die rise and tranzit will be d tier or lower
I didnt know how much i needed this series until we finished black ops 1 and now i cant wait
Love these videos Patrick. Excited for Bo2 and Bo3!!!
No Phd flopper in Bo3 Moon is so terrible
Imagine he reviews Town, Farm, Bus Depot, and Turned in different weeks
This is my second favorite map of all time due to the fact that this was the first time they went all out in terms of content. The jug being on Area 51 is annoying sure but with planning & coordination you can cycle the perks so the next time you need to get jug it is waiting for you. The astronaut can be a huge pain but first of all, he doesn’t ALWAYS take just your juggernog. There have been plenty of times where I ran into him but he took quick revive or speed cola, staminup, etc. Also if you listen closely you can hear when he is near you so you know to approach doorways with caution. The easter can be near impossible if you don’t get the proper conditions to happen early enough in the game, but you don’t HAVE to do it just to have all 8 perks. If you know how to train in the biodome you could play forever.
I can't wait for his mega rant on Tranzit and Die Rise in his retrospective series.
Oh yeah
I tired of hearing people hating on these maps over and over again
@@calebparker9460 You tryna hear someone say Tranzit was actually good or smth?
When I hear the astronaut spawn in I just sigh, I hate the astronaut, no reward, annoying and can take a perk. Pointless.
This guy seems to be ranking the maps based on their "storylines". Moon had arguably the worst gameplay of all the BO1 maps.
No
Ventura the Ace it’s debatable although I do agree it’s just a map that isn’t pleasing to play on unless your doing the Easter egg (just my opinion)
Ventura the Ace lmao no it didn’t you just probably sucked at the map
Love the donkeys "I'm in space line:
These videos are so well done. I wish you could pump them out faster, but I understand that having more time to make them makes them so well done
I can't wait to discuss origins and how overrated it is all it did first was the wunderfizz and staff fire staff. The lightning staff= downgraded wunderwaffe.
Windstaff= thundergun with more ammo.
Icestaff= winter's howl.
Panzer= Brutus with more health.
It is the most overrated map ever more over rated than kino
Don t forget the retarded ending
Honeslty I got a well opinion that most hate but bo1 was the best one and at the end of bo2 it fell off
Much love pat keep up the hard work
Thank you Pat, very cool.
Moon is better then all the maps bo1 bo2 bo3 and bo4 combined I dont care what you say it's god
SAY IT AGAIN FOR THE SHITTY PLAYERS IN THE BACK.
The best video series in youtube rn . Wow
Love you pat great content
Just discovered this videos I am watching the whole series right now jaja
