Thank you Samuel for helping me learn how to play bo3 especially in the round 100 gaint bo3 before I could get round 20 but after wachting your vid on it I got round 100😁
This guy literally just rubs the itch I have for zombies so well. So many content creators for zombies just shit on so many of the maps but this guy is literally bringing new light to maps I thought I had hated in my own opinion, like burger town AW map being bad, I actually also really enjoyed just surviving in the burger town area.
I swear its a running thing that content creators are colouring every last part of a game to be negative. Been trying to watch Apex Legends and its so Sad, they play a game to exhaustion so its like listening to a depressed looser, theyre really a total oposit of having any valued opinion of a prudish person. They are like a 8 year kid not being able to see anything other than their selfish needs. Thats especially true for cod, makes absolutely No sense why massive high budget projects that were made by experts were not aprecciated, but it says more about what players are completely lacking

Yh it’s great to see someone place it so high! Most zombies UA-camrs only rank treyarch zombies maps, so it’s great to see it get the respect it deserves. I’d personally have it as third or fourth best zombies as opposed to second tho, but it’s still way too underrated by most
I only really have played IW in terms of Zombies and even after watching this I think Spaceland is by far the best map. Not because of the Easter egg which is still fun but because of how clean the map is. Everything is nicely set up and it doesn't feel like you need to go into tight spaces unless you are facing a massive horde
Your enjoyment of IW made me and my lil bro try it out. Agree about how fun and memorable it is. He also played Shaolin once, disliked it, and then loved it a couple games later.
I love IW because it’s a change of it’s pace because it’s in a theme park and it’s so fun I’ve been trying to get all of the Easter eggs done but I’m not done yet
Best ranking of Zombie maps I’ve seen. Shows appreciation to all Zombie maps not just black ops. Larger Zombie youtubers don’t appreciate other Zombie games so neither does their fans, I’m glad Sam does and showcases how good they are in his vids. Also he ranked shadows first which is my favourite map so ye the best list I’ve seen.
bruh tag is not a bad map, I adore how they made cotd look so beautifull with the sunset, cotd is ofc classic an I know that wonder weapons on tag are tragic but I think that challenges for hermit, little tasks, turning on power in each segment (ship, lighthouse, facility) and ziplines even tho they were bugged at launch are great mechanic that work practically like teleports but you have hbeautifull view of the map instead of the spinning void. I just love this map and it rlly hitted me when I saw it right after vanguard. like how are all extinction maps better than tag and classified, I dont get why people hate those two remasters (3 along with blood otd), like yes bo4 launch was rlly laggy and bad and lot of people wanted new maps, so thgey were mad that they got 4 remakes (cotd, 5, motd and nuketown), dont get me wrong I dont like alpha omega and I never played blood but tag and classified are just beautifull...

You can see he simply loves the gamemode as whole, is able to enjoy almost everything for the different experiences they offer, and has played most things to a degree that he is able to form his own really unique and honest opinion.
i love how u put nearly all of the iw maps in the top 15. a lot of people just didn't give the game a chance. glad u did and gave other people the opportunity to try it and enjoy it themselves too. always loved that game
I love that ghosts is finally getting recognized as a good game, I bought it on sale on the xbox 360 and loved everything about it (except lmg thermal vision campers on multiplayer) the extinction gamemode was really good I really didn't understand why the game had so much hate back then

@@rexzombiesbrasil a lot we’re bad and overly ambitious, but I thought some were really fun,(Warhawk, freight, etc.) especially on modes like infected. I mostly played competitive which I thought ghosts did that better than any other cod to date personally.
im sure the reactions to this video will truly be civil and respectful honestly I dont agree with most of the rankings but thats why zombies is cool, everyone has their own rankings and opinions which makes it unique
This is probably my favorite zombies ranked I’ve ever seen. He just loves zombies and his past videos prove to all the casuals he’s not lying about the higher rankings on the games perceived “worser” than other games. He just enjoys zombies.
You gotta agree that the devs put their heart and soul into making Extinction, every map was totally unique and almost next to 0 unused assets from Multiplayer, especially Awakening
I appreciate a list made subjectively in your opinion rather than unbiased facts and statistics because as a viewer of your content I like knowing what you would consider good and bad qualities for zombies maps. It helps me understand your other videos and Chanel more personally.
for the first time, someone actually gives love to Infinite Warfare Zombies, this game really really is super underrated, the super easter egg is the best we had, and you can always go back and have fun on this game
De made me fall in love with zombies when I was little so it's always going to be favorite and I will always be biased to it being the best. The theme of it is so nice. It flows so well and the easter egg is so much fun and simple. The bows are so much fun to get and the introduction of the ragnarocks and stuff is so fun.
It's not just you putting the nostalgia aside that makes this list amazing for me, it's how you just don't care what community in a consensus consider what's good and not good. Makes the whole list based and authentic and something i can take from trying out some maps I would never usually try.. like outbreak for instance or some extinction maps you rate so highly for example that others only point the negatives of so a lot of people never give them a go. Thank you for this
"the amount of enjoyment you get from beating blood of the dead" I wasn't really enjoying myself when I beat it, I was in bits because of how sad Richtofen's death was.
Huge, huge respect for this list. I extremely love your honesty about how you feel about each of this maps and I generally like how you respect maps by how fun and playable they are and not by how mechanically complex they are.
Although I absolutely love Der Eisendrache because that’s when I reached my first “high round” of Round 39, I do think it’s too easy sometimes but when I acquired the Storm Bow, Ragnaroks and Widows Wine from Der Wunderfizz, damn, it was one of the most enjoyable maps
the main big zombie youtubers all copy each other and love off the same maps and dog on underrated masterpieces. its such a hive mentality sometimes. samuel you are a breath of fresh air my good sir, love how you give credit to IW
Great video! I'm glad to see IW zombies getting the appreciation it deserved. You're completely right about how people slept on it because it wasn't made by treyarch.
Pretty sure I have said this before but your opinions on these maps are so refreshing most of these maps just get shit on constantly and to not hear it is great
This is such a good list, most people rank maps for their EE or environment and don't include non black ops maps, every map has it's pros and cons which makes it unique also so many people didn't have access to a lot of the maps and went off of other peoples opinions playing all these game in their prime was fun besides vanguard that was the first game I had to force myself to play it felt very rushed it was trying to be so many things at once
I don’t agree with all of your placements, but I love your passion. Most importantly, it’s your list AND your opinions! There was a lot of work put into this and thought, so I respect it. Not easy comparing genres of maps either! Dead ops arcade style vs “survival” vs epic Easter egg vs casual fun high round map vs extinction, etc ! Keeping doing what you do. I’m sure you’re anxiously waiting for next year’s game and especially 2024’s. Cheers.
It’s great to see a list that actually gives a fair look at the non treyarch maps, personally I’ve barely played any of them as my interest in COD, especially zombies, died after BO3 but I still dabble every now and then. I am tempted to go back and give IW zombies a try
minor spoiler but nothing specific i absolutely love how nearly half of the maps score a 9/10 or above. hearing someone share genuine enjoyment of the mode as a whole while including zombie adjacent ones as well is wonderful. and such, this is the best rankings video on this subject
@@dripp_dropp I believe there are about 10 truely goated maps who deserve 9-10/10 and then the list should slowly decline in rating according to placement on the list. Half of the maps getting 8/10 I have never played more than 10 times because they just aren't enjoyable to me and I played Zombies for Years so if you are rating the maps all so close to each other in rating you take the special feeling of good ratings away from the truely great maps we have IMO
well, that just shows you have a very different opinion on zombies as whole than sam. The ratings are as they are because he actually enjoys most maps and thinks even up to #50 they are still at least good, and im a lot like him, choosing an actual top5 or even 10 would be really hard for me, by this time there are probaly 15 maps i say are in my top5 lmao.
@@rexzombiesbrasil I have played this mode for now more than 10 years and I'm not spoiled by its greatness. Love the concept and absolut masterpieces it delivered, however I can admit where they went wrong and excecuted badly / sub par. No UA-camr wants to be negative, because the majority of viewers dislike negative comments about something they are passionate about. Its totaly understandable, but IMO he couldve just brought out the list in order without the rankings. That would make it a much more valid list and not seem like an exegaration of how good these maps truely are. Just my opinion tho and he might acctually Enjoy those maps at 7,5/10 but I just can't see it. He might even have a different understanding what a 7,5 means but in general that is a high number that shouldn"t be achieved by 3/4 of all maps else it has no meaning
@@tazzo_xy1938 if you are used to grading on a curve i understand why it doesn't make sense to you, in my country im used to grading where 5-6 is mediocre and that is it, grades are fixed and not based on overall perfomance, doesn't change based on the top and bottom, so if he genuinely thinks 3/4 of the maps deserve 7+ that makes total sense to me, specially because i feel the same way, very few maps i would grade lower than that. Also i feel the exact opposite about most famous zombies yotubers until very recently, they thrived on shitting on top of everything which wasn't the certified 3arc classics, making fun of these maps was always a no brainer, didn't even need any reasonable explanation. Most tier lists were just repeating the same recycled hivemind opinions over and over with very little space for authenthicity.
I loved the list :) You actually put nostalgia to the side as much as you could, and I pretty much agree with mostly everything here I'd rank Call of the Dead lower because I hate that map lol.
Tranzit was literally the first zombies game I’d ever played. In my friends basement in middle school, scared out of my mind by the babies. Good times.
As a 30 year old (now) I used to play black ops zombies and black ops 2 zombies. Every other map you’ve mentioned I’ve never played and I just can’t keep up lol
The biggest difference between this channel and most others is he doesn’t do it for the grind of UA-cam content, he does it because he simply loves zombies and wants to share his love with a community. Never change man, you’re a rare gem on UA-cam.
After watching you beat every cod games zombies, every cod zombies has something special to it (Besides Vanguard). I think there is some questionable ranking like zetsobou no shima being ranked so high. But I liked how you put buried in the top 10 personally for me it's in my top 3 it was just so much fun me and my brother playing split screen buried for hours and loved seeing 7 perks, Leroy, the chalk mechanic, the easter egg. I might be nostalgia blinded but buried was just so simple and I loved it. Your list makes me want to download the other cod games I haven't played like WW2 and ghost DLCs. Finally I love how you put Bo3 10/10 because the zombies is truly a masterpiece and so much care went into it.
This list honestly made me realize that there are so many good (along with some bad) zombies maps that rankings can be anywhere for anyone. I didn't necessarily agree with a lot of these rankings, but I did respect all of them.
Interesting to see your criteria of a great map. I focus on: - stuff to do - easter egg - map layout - online playability - difficulty - wonder weapon For me the theme and high rounds aren't important at all, cause I usually stop playing once everything is done anyways. To me BO2 zombies is the sweat spot! In BO3 is too easy with the pap ammo types, the "extra utility" ( sword, skull etc.), and 3-hit-down without jug. I do like Zetsubou very much though, due to the plants and the wonder weapon upgrade steps. BO1 on the other hand has not so much to do - the easter eggs being either tedious or impossible for 2-man lobby. The zombie hits and movement feel weird/random. And I don't really enjoy the boss rounds. Since I can play Moon and Ascension in Chronicles I never get back to BO1. Origins is by far my favourite map. The staff upgrading and the easter egg gives you a nice continuous progression. I love to try and get PhD or double tap. You always find players online and there's a wonder weapon for everyone. As I started Zombies with 200 hours of Town, the mud doesn't bother me.
Based on the video he tends to favor: -Wonder Weapon (both how it feels and use) -High Round Strats -Difficulty -Environment -Steps of a EE however he is willing to forgive annoying/bad steps if the boss fight itself is awesome (as seen with Shaolin and Attack) In that order
This is the most original list I have ever seen, not for zombies but on anything, making a list that is not the reverse of the norm but ORIGINAL AF, so much so that probably nobody ever had the exact same opinion as you, shows this lists, this videos and this youtuber's upmost greatness
as much as i disagree with a good amount of your treyarch takes, i really do appreciate the amount of time you put into these games to give us a modern day, unbiased review from the perspective of a new-ish fan. also thank you SO MUCH for putting shadows at #1. it really is the best map of all time
IX i can understand that high round sucks for it. But as a casual player to get into bo4 its a 10/10. Great visuals, easy and yet still super fun PaP quest, super fun wonder weapon (for the first few times, it sucks without the bug, I know) and super simple layout, pretty much just a circle aboveground and underground. One clear best area to train zombies in (the arena) which is both the best visually/coolest place on the map + the fire out of the ground mixes it up/adds a little bit of excitement. Personally feel like tigers are also a nice change of pace in the arena since they can catch up to you, so you cant just run around in circles. When not training zombies, they are not as fun obviously. Water zombies suck, biggest flaw in bo4 imo.. you need like 3 mags to kill a single zombie due to them getting 5 HP bars just by touching a random water zombie. So MPs you can throw out of the window by round 20, which is a bo4 chaos story problem but especially frustrating on IX imo. Today still a 9.5/10 map for me as a casual and the easter egg was also quite fun to do (besides the scorpio shooting hieroglyph step). At the start of bo4 10/10, 100%. Perfect introduction map.
@HenryMyth Did you just say Shadows was a copy and paste of Mob?? Lmfaooo get out of here w that, Shadows is a very different experience from Mob, and better in almost every way
Wow, I'm so happy. My favorite level of all time was Spaceland, but I hated its base COD. The zombies was always a blast, and I remember just falling in love with Spaceland while playing it. I've never watched much of the online zombies scene so I always wondered if others enjoyed it as much as I did.
i think dead of the night is honestly the best map in bo4, and is 100% in my top 10 best, it has such a good flow to it and the absolutely amazing feeling of getting the annihilator and getting the infinite ammo easter egg is just absolutely profound, i think that goes for the whole map as well, just the whole flow is amazing.
I feel like with the amount of 7.5s, they should all be 5 and you should use that as a baseline for the average map! Good video though, even if I disagree with a few of them! (That is always going to happen!)
Happy to see Der Reise at the top of the list. I spent many happy Fridays at my friends house playing this map on a split screen. Figuring out all the cool Pack a Punch names was something simplistic yet memorable
I genuinely love Tag Der Toten. It’s one of my favorite maps of all time. I used to think it was very average, but the more I played it the more I loved it. I’m sad to see it placed so low
Great video! Not sure if I agree with every single pick, but it seems like a solid list over all. I actually forgot that WW2 had zombies maps and I never gave it a shot since I never heard anyone talk about them. Since you rated some so high, it convinced me to pick up WW2 on the Steam sale and give it a shot.
I respect this list for going against the grain and the creator going beyond for explaining the pros and cons of each map choice. Anyone who plays Zombies for the first time Should go to this video before deciding which map to play.
I think you were very generous with some of these maps personally but I respect every opinion you gave, it was clear and at the end of the day it's just based on how much fun you had and I'm glad you did so. It's nice to think that some people still enjoy some of these maps even if I and some others really didn't.
i honestly dont agree with a lot of this but thats why i like it. its nice to see a list where nostalgia is put to the side and you actually gave good reasons for why each map was where.
Awesome video, been getting back into all the zombies games recently and this gets me in that mood. Only take I don’t agree with is the Tag rating honestly since that’s my favourite of Bo4 but good video still!
The placements for number 1 and 2 were also my favorite because when i was little and didn't have school i would always wake up in the mornings seeing my dad playing shadows of evil but then he switched to spaceland later on.
i never owned any dlc for any cod other than bo1 when i was younger. but since getting back into zombies soo manyy of the bo3 and 2 maps are insanely fun. ty cold war for getting me back into zombs

But yeah, extinction has always been great for me.
@@rexzombiesbrasil a lot we’re bad and overly ambitious, but I thought some were really fun,(Warhawk, freight, etc.) especially on modes like infected. I mostly played competitive which I thought ghosts did that better than any other cod to date personally.
Its still definitely not zombies
im sure the reactions to this video will truly be civil and respectful
honestly I dont agree with most of the rankings but thats why zombies is cool, everyone has their own rankings and opinions which makes it unique
This is probably my favorite zombies ranked I’ve ever seen. He just loves zombies and his past videos prove to all the casuals he’s not lying about the higher rankings on the games perceived “worser” than other games. He just enjoys zombies.
Ranking zombie maps is like ranking your favorite colors. It's insane how angry some people get by people just stating their harmless opinion.
He’s a froot the opinions are wrong
You gotta agree that the devs put their heart and soul into making Extinction, every map was totally unique and almost next to 0 unused assets from Multiplayer, especially Awakening
ZNS at number 5 is a straight W. One of the best maps of all time.
True
My favourite map of all time, idk why it’s so unpopular even back then I’d never find public matches in it
I like how you actually had mostly positive things to say about almost all the maps. Most UA-camrs will shit on maps until they get into their top 20.
I appreciate a list made subjectively in your opinion rather than unbiased facts and statistics because as a viewer of your content I like knowing what you would consider good and bad qualities for zombies maps. It helps me understand your other videos and Chanel more personally.
for the first time, someone actually gives love to Infinite Warfare Zombies, this game really really is super underrated, the super easter egg is the best we had, and you can always go back and have fun on this game
De made me fall in love with zombies when I was little so it's always going to be favorite and I will always be biased to it being the best. The theme of it is so nice. It flows so well and the easter egg is so much fun and simple. The bows are so much fun to get and the introduction of the ragnarocks and stuff is so fun.
Can't even be mad at this. I'd rather see these kind of personal lists then the "correct" zombies list with no actually personal taste
It's not just you putting the nostalgia aside that makes this list amazing for me, it's how you just don't care what community in a consensus consider what's good and not good. Makes the whole list based and authentic and something i can take from trying out some maps I would never usually try.. like outbreak for instance or some extinction maps you rate so highly for example that others only point the negatives of so a lot of people never give them a go. Thank you for this
"the amount of enjoyment you get from beating blood of the dead"
I wasn't really enjoying myself when I beat it, I was in bits because of how sad Richtofen's death was.
Huge, huge respect for this list. I extremely love your honesty about how you feel about each of this maps and I generally like how you respect maps by how fun and playable they are and not by how mechanically complex they are.
Although I absolutely love Der Eisendrache because that’s when I reached my first “high round” of Round 39, I do think it’s too easy sometimes but when I acquired the Storm Bow, Ragnaroks and Widows Wine from Der Wunderfizz, damn, it was one of the most enjoyable maps
After grinding iw zombies for so long, I can say without fail it’s top 3. It so enjoyable and entertaining
i like that you are so positive and can always find at least something nice to say about any map
the main big zombie youtubers all copy each other and love off the same maps and dog on underrated masterpieces. its such a hive mentality sometimes. samuel you are a breath of fresh air my good sir, love how you give credit to IW
I think I speak for everyone when I say we need you to hop on the BO3 custom zombies hype
crashes to much
very refreshing to see a list like this, don’t agree with all the pics but i like seeing stuff like extinction be recognised
also i love die rise lol, would unironically be the 9 for me
Great video! I'm glad to see IW zombies getting the appreciation it deserved. You're completely right about how people slept on it because it wasn't made by treyarch.
Pretty sure I have said this before but your opinions on these maps are so refreshing most of these maps just get shit on constantly and to not hear it is great
This is such a good list, most people rank maps for their EE or environment and don't include non black ops maps, every map has it's pros and cons which makes it unique also so many people didn't have access to a lot of the maps and went off of other peoples opinions playing all these game in their prime was fun besides vanguard that was the first game I had to force myself to play it felt very rushed it was trying to be so many things at once
I don’t agree with all of your placements, but I love your passion. Most importantly, it’s your list AND your opinions!
There was a lot of work put into this and thought, so I respect it.
Not easy comparing genres of maps either! Dead ops arcade style vs “survival” vs epic Easter egg vs casual fun high round map vs extinction, etc !
Keeping doing what you do. I’m sure you’re anxiously waiting for next year’s game and especially 2024’s. Cheers.
It’s great to see a list that actually gives a fair look at the non treyarch maps, personally I’ve barely played any of them as my interest in COD, especially zombies, died after BO3 but I still dabble every now and then. I am tempted to go back and give IW zombies a try
minor spoiler but nothing specific
i absolutely love how nearly half of the maps score a 9/10 or above. hearing someone share genuine enjoyment of the mode as a whole while including zombie adjacent ones as well is wonderful. and such, this is the best rankings video on this subject
I love how Infinte Warfare is second, it has to be one of my favorites I loved the theme of it really wish that there was a sequel.
Giving Place 50 a rating of 7,5/10 is crazy genorous imo. There are max 10-15 maps that deserve 8+/10 tbh
so you think that over 80% of this game mode is bad, or at least mid?
@@dripp_dropp I believe there are about 10 truely goated maps who deserve 9-10/10 and then the list should slowly decline in rating according to placement on the list. Half of the maps getting 8/10 I have never played more than 10 times because they just aren't enjoyable to me and I played Zombies for Years so if you are rating the maps all so close to each other in rating you take the special feeling of good ratings away from the truely great maps we have IMO
well, that just shows you have a very different opinion on zombies as whole than sam. The ratings are as they are because he actually enjoys most maps and thinks even up to #50 they are still at least good, and im a lot like him, choosing an actual top5 or even 10 would be really hard for me, by this time there are probaly 15 maps i say are in my top5 lmao.
@@rexzombiesbrasil I have played this mode for now more than 10 years and I'm not spoiled by its greatness. Love the concept and absolut masterpieces it delivered, however I can admit where they went wrong and excecuted badly / sub par. No UA-camr wants to be negative, because the majority of viewers dislike negative comments about something they are passionate about. Its totaly understandable, but IMO he couldve just brought out the list in order without the rankings. That would make it a much more valid list and not seem like an exegaration of how good these maps truely are. Just my opinion tho and he might acctually Enjoy those maps at 7,5/10 but I just can't see it. He might even have a different understanding what a 7,5 means but in general that is a high number that shouldn"t be achieved by 3/4 of all maps else it has no meaning
@@tazzo_xy1938 if you are used to grading on a curve i understand why it doesn't make sense to you, in my country im used to grading where 5-6 is mediocre and that is it, grades are fixed and not based on overall perfomance, doesn't change based on the top and bottom, so if he genuinely thinks 3/4 of the maps deserve 7+ that makes total sense to me, specially because i feel the same way, very few maps i would grade lower than that.
Also i feel the exact opposite about most famous zombies yotubers until very recently, they thrived on shitting on top of everything which wasn't the certified 3arc classics, making fun of these maps was always a no brainer, didn't even need any reasonable explanation. Most tier lists were just repeating the same recycled hivemind opinions over and over with very little space for authenthicity.
Babe wake back up, Samuel has posted another banger
Finally love for Dead of the night! Respect for having a different ranking
Take a drink everytime he says “this is going to annoy some people”
So nice to see someone put ZNS so high up, honestly my favourite map of all. Awesome list man!
I loved the list :)
You actually put nostalgia to the side as much as you could, and I pretty much agree with mostly everything here
I'd rank Call of the Dead lower because I hate that map lol.
shadows of evil also plays major bangers between rounds and at game over
This was a very unique list! Definitely my favorite one ive seen on youtube
Tranzit was literally the first zombies game I’d ever played. In my friends basement in middle school, scared out of my mind by the babies. Good times.
They need to release a game titled “Call Of Duty: Zombies” & have every zombies map remastered (graphically) as i would pay a lot for it.
genuinely my favourite zombies creator rn
Bro put Dead Ops Arcade and Tranzit above Ascension and Call of the Dead…Die Maschine at 42…man…
As a 30 year old (now) I used to play black ops zombies and black ops 2 zombies. Every other map you’ve mentioned I’ve never played and I just can’t keep up lol
I totally agree with the extinction ones they get a lot of hate but it's fun to play once a while
So happy to see Zombies in Spaceland in at least 2nd, such an underrated map. W vid imo
I love transit and die rise. He rated it high compared to most, but I think they should still be higher.
The biggest difference between this channel and most others is he doesn’t do it for the grind of UA-cam content, he does it because he simply loves zombies and wants to share his love with a community. Never change man, you’re a rare gem on UA-cam.
After watching you beat every cod games zombies, every cod zombies has something special to it (Besides Vanguard). I think there is some questionable ranking like zetsobou no shima being ranked so high. But I liked how you put buried in the top 10 personally for me it's in my top 3 it was just so much fun me and my brother playing split screen buried for hours and loved seeing 7 perks, Leroy, the chalk mechanic, the easter egg. I might be nostalgia blinded but buried was just so simple and I loved it. Your list makes me want to download the other cod games I haven't played like WW2 and ghost DLCs. Finally I love how you put Bo3 10/10 because the zombies is truly a masterpiece and so much care went into it.
Ghost dlcs are decent but imo I wouldn’t buy it unless the gold version is on sale or something iw is were it’s at
I also loved Buried sooo much! Its totally not popular with most of my friends, but its great to see so much love for it!
This list honestly made me realize that there are so many good (along with some bad) zombies maps that rankings can be anywhere for anyone. I didn't necessarily agree with a lot of these rankings, but I did respect all of them.
Interesting to see your criteria of a great map.
I focus on:
- stuff to do
- easter egg
- map layout
- online playability
- difficulty
- wonder weapon
For me the theme and high rounds aren't important at all, cause I usually stop playing once everything is done anyways.
To me BO2 zombies is the sweat spot!
In BO3 is too easy with the pap ammo types, the "extra utility" ( sword, skull etc.), and 3-hit-down without jug. I do like Zetsubou very much though, due to the plants and the wonder weapon upgrade steps.
BO1 on the other hand has not so much to do - the easter eggs being either tedious or impossible for 2-man lobby. The zombie hits and movement feel weird/random. And I don't really enjoy the boss rounds. Since I can play Moon and Ascension in Chronicles I never get back to BO1.
Origins is by far my favourite map. The staff upgrading and the easter egg gives you a nice continuous progression. I love to try and get PhD or double tap. You always find players online and there's a wonder weapon for everyone. As I started Zombies with 200 hours of Town, the mud doesn't bother me.
Based on the video he tends to favor:
-Wonder Weapon (both how it feels and use)
-High Round Strats
-Difficulty
-Environment
-Steps of a EE however he is willing to forgive annoying/bad steps if the boss fight itself is awesome (as seen with Shaolin and Attack)
In that order
This is the most original list I have ever seen, not for zombies but on anything, making a list that is not the reverse of the norm but ORIGINAL AF, so much so that probably nobody ever had the exact same opinion as you, shows this lists, this videos and this youtuber's upmost greatness
I thought this was relevant until you said infinite warfare over bo2 maps
as much as i disagree with a good amount of your treyarch takes, i really do appreciate the amount of time you put into these games to give us a modern day, unbiased review from the perspective of a new-ish fan. also thank you SO MUCH for putting shadows at #1. it really is the best map of all time
Putting tag der toten that low is absolutely criminal💀
I respect you samuel with all the rnd 100s been watching yours vids since the start but you gotta repsect the old maps and how they still stand
IX i can understand that high round sucks for it. But as a casual player to get into bo4 its a 10/10.
Great visuals, easy and yet still super fun PaP quest, super fun wonder weapon (for the first few times, it sucks without the bug, I know) and super simple layout, pretty much just a circle aboveground and underground.
One clear best area to train zombies in (the arena) which is both the best visually/coolest place on the map + the fire out of the ground mixes it up/adds a little bit of excitement.
Personally feel like tigers are also a nice change of pace in the arena since they can catch up to you, so you cant just run around in circles. When not training zombies, they are not as fun obviously.
Water zombies suck, biggest flaw in bo4 imo.. you need like 3 mags to kill a single zombie due to them getting 5 HP bars just by touching a random water zombie. So MPs you can throw out of the window by round 20, which is a bo4 chaos story problem but especially frustrating on IX imo.
Today still a 9.5/10 map for me as a casual and the easter egg was also quite fun to do (besides the scorpio shooting hieroglyph step). At the start of bo4 10/10, 100%. Perfect introduction map.
this is such a fascinating ranking. amen my guy
This ranking is absolutely cursed. This makes ChaosxSilencer's list look good.
DE should be higher but I agree with it for the most part
It's really not that bad, I mean I disagree with things like Shadowed Throne being so low but overall solid list
>Zombies community when the map ranking isn’t copy and pasted from big UA-camrs and the majority.
@@vryyyx I don’t care about that. I think Shadows and DE are lame copy paste of Mob and Origins. Some of the takes in this video are genuinely crazy.
@HenryMyth Did you just say Shadows was a copy and paste of Mob?? Lmfaooo get out of here w that, Shadows is a very different experience from Mob, and better in almost every way
omg someone who actually liked the darkest shore i thought i was the only one lmao
Wow, I'm so happy. My favorite level of all time was Spaceland, but I hated its base COD. The zombies was always a blast, and I remember just falling in love with Spaceland while playing it. I've never watched much of the online zombies scene so I always wondered if others enjoyed it as much as I did.
Claim your “here before the 1st hour” ticket here
First 10 minutes lmao
9 minutes
Hurray
Yer
Oof
i think dead of the night is honestly the best map in bo4, and is 100% in my top 10 best, it has such a good flow to it and the absolutely amazing feeling of getting the annihilator and getting the infinite ammo easter egg is just absolutely profound, i think that goes for the whole map as well, just the whole flow is amazing.
I feel like with the amount of 7.5s, they should all be 5 and you should use that as a baseline for the average map! Good video though, even if I disagree with a few of them! (That is always going to happen!)
I mean, 5 sounds like mediocre, and i don't think that is his feeling towards the maps he gave 7.5s.
I'm very biased to bo4 zombies, so seeing ix so low is heart breaking. I think the map completely overcomes the flaws of the bo4 system
Very unique list but Dead Ops over Der Riese is where this list kinda lost me
Happy to see Der Reise at the top of the list. I spent many happy Fridays at my friends house playing this map on a split screen. Figuring out all the cool Pack a Punch names was something simplistic yet memorable
I genuinely love Tag Der Toten. It’s one of my favorite maps of all time. I used to think it was very average, but the more I played it the more I loved it. I’m sad to see it placed so low
I'm so glad you give the love to infinite warfare as it deserves. Such an underrated zombies experience
Bro really said verrukt was bad because it was hard 😂
Great video! Not sure if I agree with every single pick, but it seems like a solid list over all. I actually forgot that WW2 had zombies maps and I never gave it a shot since I never heard anyone talk about them. Since you rated some so high, it convinced me to pick up WW2 on the Steam sale and give it a shot.
zetsobou at 5 is an insane W
This guy knows what’s up. Very fair list, love it
DE #13 and The Giant #7, what is he smoking 💀
DE is so overrated but Giant at 7 is actually wild
@@sztywnyHujs0n_I kinda agree with Sam, the giant is probably the best casual map of all time
It's his opinion.
Like Bo3 Nacht is in my top 5 but it isn't the best map
I just like it a lot. I ain't a great Zombies player
It’s an opinion, and a bloody good one at that
i love this guy.His opinions are so good now is see that not every bo4 maps is bad..
Never let this guy choose what map youre playin on
I respect this list for going against the grain and the creator going beyond for explaining the pros and cons of each map choice. Anyone who plays Zombies for the first time Should go to this video before deciding which map to play.
Kino at 33 is crazy but you redeemed yourself with spaceland at 2 goated map
I think you were very generous with some of these maps personally but I respect every opinion you gave, it was clear and at the end of the day it's just based on how much fun you had and I'm glad you did so. It's nice to think that some people still enjoy some of these maps even if I and some others really didn't.
i honestly dont agree with a lot of this but thats why i like it. its nice to see a list where nostalgia is put to the side and you actually gave good reasons for why each map was where.
Massive W for having the balls to say zombies in spaceland is the second greatest map of all time which i agree
I'd argue that shadows and orgins should be flipped but this list is perfec4 otherwise
Awesome video, been getting back into all the zombies games recently and this gets me in that mood. Only take I don’t agree with is the Tag rating honestly since that’s my favourite of Bo4 but good video still!
Ok everything was perfect until this 24:32
The placements for number 1 and 2 were also my favorite because when i was little and didn't have school i would always wake up in the mornings seeing my dad playing shadows of evil but then he switched to spaceland later on.
Dead ops arcade 3 is better than DE 💀💀
all dead ops and last on the list bro. horrible game mode imo
34:59 Bro's literally living in the future
I hella agreed with this list but when he said fee eisendrache overrated that’s just insane
Unfortunately, you forgot the Black Ops DS Zombies maps 😕
he already ranked kino
Wouldve been nice if you also wrote the name of the game next to the map. For any maps we are not familiar with, we can know which game it came from
can't wait to hear your thoughts on the custom zombies maps
Putting Tranzit and Die Rise above IX is crazy
i never owned any dlc for any cod other than bo1 when i was younger. but since getting back into zombies soo manyy of the bo3 and 2 maps are insanely fun. ty cold war for getting me back into zombs
