Hey I chose to write this comment on this video because of a very good reason for not waiting a day (as of writing this) to tell you I could be getting a new computer because I don't know how to delete viruses on one so it could be seen as my first time chatting again so I just want to let you know-Ben's Comic Universe. Edit:Video is GREAT!
Since this is a reupload I'm gonna give another fact about The Hoff. His intro animation and intro stinger are more references to Knight Rider, with the stinger being a section of the Knight Rider theme song, and his animation mimicking how his character would call for KITT in the show, using his watch.
I really liked your old review as well as the WW2 one! But as an IWZ enjoyer myself, it's great to see that you gave it another chance and you went deep into the mechanics, the good ones and the bad ones. Loved to see that you've improved your editing as well, the pacing is much more akind to the Rizzo style, but with your own twist. Keep up the good work dude! You really deserve more recognition Looking foward to the Rave one!
Actually very glad you left the old one up and didn't take it down now that you made an "updated" version, comparing how opinions shift is always interesting
Yeah, I wish Rizzo left some of his old reviews on his channel even tho they might have been too harsh, or he just couldn't stand to rewatch what he made if it made him cringe. I get it, sometimes we may procieve ourselves as an embarrassment looking back like our teenage phases, but it can still help to show how far we've come as we grow better overtime. Nevertheless, I understand why he removed a bunch of his videos as they may have felt he insulted some of his viewers, so Rizzo really has changed for the better and wanted to erase what he probably regretted saying in his old videos.
I do love youtube disabling my notifications for your channel so I had no idea this uploaded. Really great platform, love to see it. Anyways amazing video as always. Actually inspired me to give Spaceland another try. It's the only IW zombie I have and I played it only twice, didn't really understand it and stopped. Very dumb of me. Can't wait for the rest of the videos!
On the "Binge retrospective videos of COD Zombs maps" part of my cycle of interests, so these are always at a great time. Looking forward to more, at any pace that works. I'll eventually be back, no matter what lol.
Spaceland is one of the most replayable zombies maps of all time. Such an absolute vibe and some of the IW gameplay features really just work for spaceland way more than any of the other maps in the game. Getting to play around with the different variants combined with the 5 elemental cores has the opportunity to become such a massive rabbit hole that most are completely oblivious to, most simply choose the life of only sticking to kendalls, M1 + wind core, & mauler sentinel when (more so on spaceland than the other maps) there are still so many viable weapons and variants if you know how to use them and what to run on them. Did you know there's an SMG that can 1 shot kill up into the 40s? How about the other buffs given to weapons by the arcane cores? Well neither does anyone else thinking the M1 with wind core is just the greatest thing to ever exist but outside of that lies an entire spreadsheet of weapon data that has consumed me over the last 4+ years that once again basically everyone is unaware of. Wind core overrated, x-quisite sweeps Wind core is literally useless on any weapon outside of the M1 and mauler sentinel but hey, enjoy making a bunch of crawlers (this post was made by x-quisite gang lol)
Interesting take on Spaceland! Personally I like the part at 4:32:14 and found it very intriguing and I agree with what you have said here. Well done. Can't wait for the next video!
IWZ’ most fatal flaw for me is the zombies collision and swipes. It’s what causes most of the stupid downs, frustration, and issues I have with the mode.
Nice and fair review! Although I do not share your hatred towards the Ghosts & Skulls quest. I think it's a feature which has always been overlooked by the community, but it was very innovative and acts as the 2nd EE on the map. The steps are a bit more random, goofy and complicated, yes, but I like to think that that is how it was intended. The quest is still there for you to complete, even though the reward is no longer of any use with the introduction of Director's Cut. All IW maps have a 2nd EE, it's often not as good as the main EE, but very few maps have a 2nd EE in COD zombies. So while your arguments are sound, I think you're being a bit too harsh towards this overlooked feature. btw, I'm very biased because I'm one of the only people out there who has done Ghosts & Skulls speedruns. So I've really studied the mechanics of every step. This makes the quest way more playable, seeing as the guides on youtube are often wrong or missing out on important details. Hmu if you have questions or need cheat sheets/solvers ;)
Honestly IW zombies is a classic. Still the only game to have a true super EE puts it in the top 3 zombies of all time. Prob the #1 non treyarch outing. When you literally play from the first time the game is so hard but as you level up unlock blueprints and keep grinding its the most rewarding experience for people who stick with it.
I thought your original was great, especially considering the age. I actually like the grind for it, it was fun and not awful like other games (COUGH BO4 LOOTBOX GUNS COUGH). Honestly wish exo zombies had the variants in it as well. I love all the maps in this game, except one terrible map (I wonder which...). Zombies in Spaceland is a 9-10/10 for me. I feel every first map should be the best playground for learning all the new mechanics and grabbing beginners, this game and Cold War nailed that. If I could only play one map for the rest of my life, this very well would be one of the top, the sheer content is insane and I don't even do easter eggs. I think the only thing I dislike is no double pack for non EE players and the Brute being an annoying fatty but at least the crog brute is slightly better. Can't wait for the rest!
I think they could've just made the one alien more aggressive with each player instead of having 4 aliens, or a health increase. Great review, I think most of these complaints/criticisms could be changed in a simple update, sadly not happening but still. Looking forward to mw3 zombies and seeing how that plays out
We beat the alien bossfight 4 player first try cus we used the card that makes all zombies ignore the player (affects all players) so we could quickly do lots of damage to the aliens.
@@Stanley557yes but it can be really buggy. sometimes if you attack anything the card just stops working and that can obviously really screw you over due to usually being pretty lax in how you position yourself expecting the card to work.
So I made this comment on your older video but its basically this 44:30 timestamp on the old video where you said willard shouldve told them about Meph, well actually Willard does hint on the final boss MANY times and not to mention on Radio theres quotes on WHY he chose them for their roles they are quotes of them around and he does also quote the name "mephistopheles" on rave theres also TONS of lore behind the characters including Willard but yeahh I dunno why Willard did all that just to be proud of them for surviving, the only thing I can think of is that he had no hope that they would even survive Zombies in spaceland and he had to act as villainous cus Meph is and always was watching him and the crew so he had to have that persona but slowly as he sees the crew complete all the tasks he gained hope that maybe they can take over Meph together he does hint that he truly cares for our characters in death quotes and hidden lore so thats my only thing I do feel like he did some questionable thing like in Rave we hear that Willard put her own daughter and her bf on the movie RAVE outta anger for her being with her bf I think, and in Shaolin we learn her name is Winona wyler and YES she does die and on Radioactive theres CD or casets with Willard talking about how he regrets doing the things he did and he wishes that the crew can win their fight against the obstacal he is forced to put them through. The sequal couldve been that meph was truly never defeated since we just see him vanish so they couldve easily faked it or maybe they try to find a way out of the miniverse they are stuck in and find another devil one higher then Meph but I dunno the cliffhanger was done so terribly XD
As a reminder for anyone, infinity ward has never made zombies. This and extinction was made by neversoft. I think that is important cause if we are going to put weight on when treyarch swoops in to make a zombie mode for another games we should make note of who made what. Like exo zombies was raven software. Sledgehammer has only made WW2 zombies but did start both Cold War and vanguard before treyarch came in to ‘fix’ it.
Infinite warfare started out really strong zombies wise and I will admit I liked it Spaceland, excuse the pun “Out of this world” (minus the hit detection) And rave was spoopy and cool, But then it just went really down hill
As an IW Zombies lover, I have to agree Rave was the Peak of the mode. Shaolin Shuffle was not bad, Attack of the Radioactive Thing was a good concept but had flaws holding it back, and Beast from Beyond was simply a missed opportunity that could have been Extinction mode, and what we have now is easily the worst of the bunch. But it did finish off with a bang thanks to Director's Cut.
On the radioactive thing if you go into the beach area and interact with a book you can hear Willard wyler say he's worried about the souls he's only being forced to do
Indeed you are correct. Although I think it is a shame it's not something referenced as early as Spaceland as it would provide much needed context for the story
Yo Stanley congrats on the amount of subscribers u went from a underrated youtuber to this masterpiece amount of subscribers you might not remember me but I’m glad it you that’s popping on congrats u might not see this comment but if u do I will be happy
outright BO4 is more built for min maxing playstyles that sets up for more specific stuff like salvo, wonder weapon, bullet weapon, melee oriented, it's not supposed to be like IW where your gun can change more than 3 times in a game. You are meant to make large commitments in bo4 all the way down to the special weapon and talismans.
@j.s.w.pathfinder3012 what point is this in response to in the video? Because this is a great comment with some good insight but curious as to the context
you should play or review rave in the redwoods its might favorite map and this is my favorite game rave is super underated with not to challenging but not to easy.
@@vattron922 no no it's all good. On table currently is the rest of the IW reviews, Extinction, Black Ops 4 Zombies, and then WaW would probably be on the table but we'll get there when we get there in 50 years

Bro, it feels like infinite warfare dropped yesterday and now its already over 7 years old?!
That voice when were talking about poindexter makes me about to have a nerdgasm
It really is quite the contrast when you compare this to your old review. It’s abo… why do I feel like I wrote this before?
As a solo player its meh with all the busy work. To me spaceland is the only map that exists :(
On my way to watch this for a fourth time (im perfectly normal)

Does it also make you invisible to the aliens?

bro when is the rave review coming out i’ve been hyped for a minute no rush tho i’m just trying to know when
