@@kurtpunchesthings2411 Springfield does less damage and shoots to the left when ads. It's definitely worse. The SMR wasn't even in the game at the time
Buried is probably my favorite map of all time. And its because it still had the charm of the original zombies games but with what felt like a natural progression to something more complicated. What we got now is just a totally different game. I'll go back and play black ops 1 zombies all the time.
I would say it’s my second, but that doesn’t mean I don’t agree with you. My personal favorite is soe because it was my first map and it was free, it was fun, it was different, the Easter egg went along with the gameplay, I loved the beast feature, I loved how every part of the map had some purpose in some sense, the best wonder weapon in zombies history imo, and it was easy, but still challenging to get high rounds. Buried doesn’t have nearly as similar qualities as I see it as shadows, however it is the most fun zombies map I’ve ever played. I wish I could’ve played this game during black ops 2 prime, but the feeling of the game is just so amazing. You don’t need to do anything to play the game, don’t need to look up any tutorials, you can figure it out just by playing the game, the paralyzer is imo the most fun wonder weapon ever, I love being able to fly around with it and having infinite ammo and damage, the buildables that aren’t difficult to find parts too and are very good, I love Leroy, and camping at jug felt very similar to camping on the catwalk on der reise. Playing buried makes me feel like a kid again, and it just has that natural zombies feel which I love. It’s just a great map, and I’ve never had more fun on a zombies map
Can i get zombies map for free somehow or can I share the maps I purchased? 15$ is cool at first until u want to play with someone and they dont have the map.
I still remember being way too young to be playing World At War, and upon finishing the campaign, being plunged into the deep end of what was once just a WW2 shooter now turned horror. Needless to say that I was scared for the longest time of playing Zombies by myself.
Those who never played WAW zombies first will never truly understand the horror of that game, I remember playing it before BO1 was even released and everyone my age then was just obsessed with the mini game on COD , blissful times
Same I used to watch my brothers friends play older waw zombies and bo1 and it scared me so bad like I couldn't watch it I'd deadass hide behind the couch I was that scared
As somebody that has never beaten an Easter egg, barely was able to unlock pack a punch on most maps, rarely lasted past round 20, I do have fond memories of the games.

@@JuicyJenitals Do you actually believe you are converting people? I think that someone who knows nothing would just find all this confusing.

You're better off making friends with people and forming a real human connection, in real life. leading by example etc. rather than copy/pasting the same messages everywhere.
Oh the nostalgia. Funny enough, TranZit was actually the map that really got my friends and I into zombies. From there we went back and played all the maps from BO1, and when BO3 dropped it became an obsession lol. Miss those days
Me and my brother would play transit split screen way back on the ps3. I even watched my Godbrothers play it completely in the dark with the sound boasted. Good times
Nearly exactly how I got into zombies. A friend of mine had bo2 and we played the maps he had, Town, Tranzit and Die Rise. It was... awesome. Then I had a Break for some years and didn't know much about what was going on. Then in the end of 2016 I saw things going on about bo3 Zombies and I WAS HOOKED ON THAT SHIT. I "borrowed" the Game from my Cousin (I still have it to this day) and played hours upon hours on nearly every map. Those were the glorious says were you just tried over and over again to get an easter egg or get to a higher round than before. I muss those times man...
I didn't even realize we had this many maps for zombies. Pretty wild that after all of these years they haven't tried making a dedicated game for the mode at this point.
Some kind of anniversary game that somehow features all the zombies maps would be crazy and sell like hotcakes. Even if they charged $70 the amount of content in that game would be totally worth it.
@@boundary2580 seriously... like imagine a standalone "Call of Duty: Zombies" game with all maps in new engine with standardized mechanics and progression for like weapon skins and stuff. Would be so good
I may be by myself here but I actually love Die Rise. Loved it from launch for difficult it is, how weird it is, the strafe jump into the upside down room with the box in. The shower too to save points
I’ve actually never played it but it’s always looked really appealing, the verticality and jumping from building to building seems fun as hell,when I finally re-get bo2 I’m gonna have to give it the ol college try
Same! I remember hoping off the bus and going for the combat knife in the tiny cabin, then using that to take out the denizens before they could even latch onto you. Made running through the fog so much more intense. Having to hold out on the bus until it started moving again... Such great times.
They kept expanding on zombies to the point of making it bloated then a mosquito bite was enough to make pop it and then created they zombies we have now, from all of those zombie juices.
Sometimes, simple things and traditional playstyle is better than adding more content to the point that saturates the mind of the player with so much letters and numbers and things in the screen. I think if treyarch went backwards with just the playstyle of Bo1 with just bigger maps and some inovations and different wonder weapons and traps or characters but without changing the essence of classic zombies would have given them the love of the community.
@@bsf4962 The thing is Treyarch won't be able to win now. There are undoubtedly people who like this new zombies, there are also people who love the old so no matter what they do they can't really win.
The best part about doing the "objectives" in the old games is that they didn't feel like objectives. Part of figuring the things out yourself and not having prompts or UI guides made it all the more satisfying. Doing ee's or getting wonder weapons felt satisfying because you had to go out of your way to accomplish them, whereas now it's just part of the experience as a whole. Having that sorta choice between the two worked more seamlessly. Players who wanted to just sit back and kill zombies could, and players who wanted to rush to get everything done as fast as possible also could. It was optional, but rewarding. Now it's just in your face. I am enjoying CW a lot though.

I loved Tranzit. Makes me sad that everyone hates it. I always thought it was popular. I mainly liked it cause of the bank and the bus that takes you to different areas. I did not like how you upgraded, though.
It's the best ever zombies map, these younger dudes just hate it coz it's too hard for them with the lava and fog but it's actually the best without a doubt and I've played all them since I was about 15 haha
Transit is my favorite. Out of any map from WAW to BO3, Transit is the one I played the most. I played the default map for WAW a lot, I played Five more than any other map on BO1, Transit the most on BO2, and Shadows of Evil or Origins on BO3. When my friends and I get together and break out the old 360, we go straight to MW3 survival or BO2 Transit split screen. Unmatched experience.
Its exactly as most rankings talk about it transit is really bad compared to other map and i played A LOT of map since i was about 10 on bo1. BUT it doesn't mean i didn't spend hours on it with my friends, we really had a blast on it. But that's it... it was a map were you did dumb shit with your friends, explored the different areas, had fun and so on. It wasn't a map were you would seriously go in solo and play it with intention of breaking you record, doing a serious zombie run or finishing the easter egg. It depens on how you rank the maps
@@3210-n1x there’s a difference between your favorite and the best. Tranzit can you be your favorite but it has much more clear flaws than a map like origins
I feel like one thing about treyarch maps is they all have potential to be great, if tranzit and die rise were remastered and released in Cold War they would’ve been amazing in my opinion, and all BO4 maps had amazing potential and would’ve probably been better received if the game didn’t have such a bad release
I loved Black Ops IIII's customization options and ability to add AI teammates, but I do feel it was the beginning of the downfall of classic maps. I honestly enjoyed Infinite Warfare Zombies and even Exo Zombies more and that pains me to say 😅
All the "bad" maps are only hampered by like one or two issued each imo. The zombies game loop was just too solid at a certain point, that anytime they tried to shake it up a bit, it would backfire. I personally love TranZit even though those things that jump on your face make my prostate swell like a gahtdamn balloon.
Nine from bo4 was one of my favorite maps, it was crazy good. it’s just where it was placed on bo4 that made it look bad, the perks system too. I think if Nine was made in bo3 it would of been one of best maps ever made.
your complete right. i think some things didn’t need to be changed. like the perks and how the game just feels. if they make a game feel like bo1-bo3 playability wise they could take zombies almost anywhere 🎃
Just played Kino with an old friend (we played regularly when it first came out) The fun and nostalgia was INCREDIBLE played it for like 3 hours miss this era of gameing. split screen. nothing quite like it.
And they can’t figure out that that’s what made us fall in love with zombies to begin with. If it went back to that I’m sure a lot of the og zombie players would come back. I used to grind hours on hours on those old maps.
I totally agree, but I think us more old school fans are a minority nowadays. I think the main shift was that the maps since bo2 have focused more on the story and objective style gameplay, whereas the pre-bo2 ones focused more on the maps themselves and the survival style gameplay. Before Origins the main gameplay loop was upgrading your stuff and staying alive, whereas after Origins it was focused on completing objectives and progressing through the story. What used to be easter eggs became the main point and I think that's the shift that I personally disliked. plus yeah all the weird fantasy stuff totally turns me off too, 90% of the appeal was the creepy unsettling post-war vibe of the early maps which is completely gone in the new maps where you're time travelling and drinking dark matter from golden goblets and fighting Greek gods like it's a fucking god of war game and you're playing as Kratos lmao
@@josh.y they should remake a ton of the maps we like in cold war/vanguard (i guess) like town or kino would go so fucking hard on a game like cold war but they never will do something like that, theyre gonna keep making new maps one always worse than the last
6:21 the Instakill bug was also in bo1 isn’t even the main bug that makes the shino Numa Record the highest out of all the maps, it’s 24 zombies a round glitch that makes it so there’s only 24 zombies every round (1 horde) only on solo in the first 3 maps
Zombies in solo were capped at 24 per round for the first 3 maps in World at War. They changed it in Der Riese in response to some of the obscenely high rounds people were achieving.
Damn this was nostalgic. I never really got into the new black ops, got busy with college and stuff.. but you described all the old ones perfectly. It's like we all collectively had the same thoughts about these maps 😂
My favorite Ascension 4 person strat was camp at Flopper, 2 people watch the 2 windows and 2 people are on Flopping duty, just keep floppin and exploding the zombies from the staircase. Was more fun than training at times.
You should've included the non-Treyarch maps in this as they are still CoD Zombies and I'd say are worth talking about. None of them are perfect but they do some interesting things that I'm surprised Treyarch hasn't adopted themselves.
True, I did play a lot of Advanced Warfare zombies and enjoyed it for instance but when most anyone thinks of COD zombies, they think of a Treyarch sequel to that which started with Nacht. The off brand zombies felt like just that, off brand and one time deals that were fun for a moment but didn’t give that classic OG feel
True man, I hopped off the zombies bandwagon after Shadows of evil, haven't really played many video game since then. Now it sounds like he's leaving a ton out from each map & not showing any of the weapons/ features as he mentions them, but sounds like he Left out entire maps lmao
You forgot to mention, in terms of vurrukt being insanely hard, zombies on ONLY vurrukt would "windmill arm" you, hitting you twice instead of once. You were at a serious risk of getting essentially 1 shot by any zombie until you got jug
I remember being so excited for the next iteration of Zombies.. and along came Kino Der Totem which became my favorite Zombies map of all time. The memories man
Wow. Bo2 zombies was the end for me I didn't even realize it continued on that much longer. I played a little Bo3 zombies at friends houses but was never into it and thought it ended there. Great video
Its funny because Five has always been my favorite map nothing beats slaying hordes of zombies while having McNamara jfk castro and nixon yelling iconic lines all around you. And i loved the pentagon thieve so much because it was so fun yelling at your friends in panic to figure out a battle plan for him and who can see him and who is on the far side. FIVE really was just such a solid map.
"People don't like having their guns taken away" this Texan agrees lol I was one of those that preferred Five, it felt a bit quicker paced and I was all for it.
I really appreciate this video. Nobody really talks about the design philosophy of zombie maps. It's very useful to people making custom content (like myself) to have a good understanding of the philosophy and theory behind some of the greatest (and worst) zombies maps across the Call of Duty franchise. Analysis videos that really break that stuff down are critically helpful to people like myself. Thanks for your work.
World at War is still absolutely my favorite age of zombies. Something about it’s simplicity gives it a charm that I just love (and Der Rise is still my highest SOLO round at over 110.) Black Ops had some great maps too but it hasn’t aged as well for me and BO2 was varied. Never played the future titles myself bc I ended up leaving the COD train after AW, but it’s interesting to see how stuff has evolved.
@@armandokola9496 bo3 has some of the best maps you can’t really use the argument of simplicity when motd is one of most positively rated maps and complex as hell bo3 strikes the balance of simplicity and enough options to play multiple times bo4 and afterwards was off the rails
Oh the nostalgia… god i miss these days i sadly believe we will never experience an era of gaming like it was back then… id do anything to go back these maps were my childhood…
@@johnpaul4301 tell them you guys have to drop an all zombies game. We all want it and will be willing drop hella money. But we all know Activision will never do it
Verruckt was probably my favorite to play with friends because we knew a glitch that would keep us safe in the 2nd floor hallway on the left. Long time zombies players will know exactly the glitch i'm talking about. Another map with a good glitch is Kino der Toten. There's a spot on the stage stairs by the teleporter that the dogs will ignore if you're standing there, makes dog rounds easy.
Do you remember the Nacht der Untoten glitch when you could jump on the broken concrete support beam on the first level? I remember when it got patched, sad days.
One interesting fact and one funny fact about MoTD: It was the map that turned Easter Eggs into Main Quests. If anyone wanted to do a "Jason Blundell in a Nutshell" they just need to describe MoTD because that's basically how BO3 and BO4 Zombies worked.
This video brought back so many memories. I started with WaW zombies but mostly played BO1 and BO2 zombies. Town and mob of the dead are probably the maps I remember playing the most. Just chilling and getting to high rounds after school or late into the night was blissful. I miss those days a lot and I miss the homies that I would party up with but just grew apart from. Maybe one day ill call them up and boot up the 360 to play local split screen or something.
Hands-down one of the most detailed and remarkably accurate breakdowns I have ever watched. I have so much respect for the amount of effort you put into this video, and thank you for the nostalgia trip.
For me Call of the dead was the best map ever. A Zombie Boss which rewards you with up to 7 perks! Aaand a wonder waffle! - the amazing easter egg, the awesome celebrities! The scary setting, and the scavenger sniper was an all round amazing wonder weapon… that map has a special place in my heart… I still turn my ps3 on just to play it sometimes❤️🎃
@@Cheddar_Wizardalso depends if you're under the age of 25 with your brain still developing. If I could go back in time I wish I never touched the stuff . Overdoing it is when you avoid family/friends because you'd rather get stoned. Valuing weed over everything, can't do anything without getting stoned before. It fucks with your brain. Just make sure you catch yourself if your abusing it. It just zaps my energy and good vibe and makes me spend so much money on munchies. Weed is over rated . The feeling of having a clear mind, having your wit and sense of humor all day everyday is 1 million times better than getting high for 2 hours just to help you feel okay with being bored. Just my experience, it affects everyone different
@@seansmythe7543 Yeah, I’m 24 currently and started smoking like this since I was about 19. Been on and off since in terms of consistent smoking and being completely clean. Mostly noticed that when it’s in my system, memory function can be frustrating and same with energy. Other than that, usually said side effects have mostly disappeared once I’ve been clean a while and I can definitely notice the clarity disparity when I’m clean. Not sure what sort of permanent side effects you may have noticed with yourself, but time will only tell for me. It’s the only vice I’ve really touched thankfully.
Me and my older brother would play WaW zombies, while blasting System of a Down. We'd be sitting a room away from eachother on our Halo Reach edition 360's, while trying different strats (and possibly glitches) on the original four maps. Best CoD memories right there. ♥
Nobody talks about the infinite warfare zombies. I know they were not treyark, but I think that is what makes them even more special. They innovate in quite a few things and are really enjoyable to play. It's true the story is not very good, but the easter eggs are fun. I think they pulled off some amazing maps for their first (and only) zombies game. I whish they did another one
This video deserves more views man. You unlocked so many deep memories I forgot. Especially from the first Black Ops. That’s when zombies was at a peak that I have yet to see it really get back too.
Watching this to remind myself of when I was younger and would just sit down to watch my dad play these maps. I remember my mom always getting mad because my dad would play late at night and I wouldn’t get much sleep,,, I miss it.
I’ve never found exploration of maps so fun in any game as in zombies because you are so invested in it. The areas especially in BO2 and BO3 look great and and so freakin cool and creative. The exploration is so important to your survival + all the buildable and easter eggs making you really try pay attention to everything to see any hints on how to solve something or discovering something new you can solve. And ”ooo, what happens when that finishes? What a mystery! Ahhh I died, oh well grab a drink, piss and start up a new round!” Bruh just love the feeling.
Black ops 1 zombies will always be the pinnacle to me, ascension was such a great map, call of the dead is an iconic memory to me, especially with avenged sevenfold for the song, and moon was one of my all time favorite zombies maps ever
Cod zombies really means a lot to me, spending hours playing with friends and people Ive never met. Just like Kavinsky said in "Nightcall" Its hard to explain
Bro transit was an amazing map it just came to early it was and is one of my favorite zombies maps. It was ambitious and it tested the limits of zombies and sadly people can’t realize the beauty in it.
@@SniperWolfKing77 Tranzit sucks. Bo2 was on the fence, i'd put it under bo1 and bo3 in terms of zombies. Tranzit, Die Rise. 2 of the worst maps ever, but Origins and MOTD, 2 of the best, and buried was great too.
They released at the same time, so they really would be tied for second, however there is also a third candidate, the gorilla from dead ops arcade that also launched with them
Really cool and interesting analysis, thanks man! I definitely hope zombies takes on the more "arcade" feel that u described in revelations. It sucks how the new zombies looks like multiplayer. They also need to ditch objectives and stick w round based, way less boring
There was a small group of kids in my grade that played zombies back in 2008, from A graders to the trouble makers. We all played together on weeknights despite being the most unlikely friends in school. Some of them were so bad but we all got along and had fun. Good times.
As a kid I hated zombie movies they gore, the eating the very sounds make me uneasy so much so that when I beat world of war cod I was so happy then dread. That cutscene, that fucking laughter of that scary voice. It was the perfect mood for not only the ending which took me until midnight also made the zombie map fucking terrifying to play to the point where I think I quit the map my first time cuz I was so afraid of the zombies lol
I was actually really scared of zombies because of wow zombies... I didn't really get over it until around middle school when I decided to play it with a friend instead of by myself. It ended up helping out with me making friends and introduced me to the idea of playing with other people. I feel that every child needs one of those things that they are scared of in order to help them grow as they learn to overcome it.
I still kinda have that, I can't play Call of Duty Zombies or anything like that on my own. If I have someone playing with me, or even just talking to them whilst playing, I'm fine, but on my own, I just cannot play games like that, it just makes me freak out and close the game shortly after starting to play.
I feel like Origins marked the point where zombies stopped really being about zombies and more about tedious side questing to get the "easter eggs". And the reason I think that is because while Easter eggs had been around since ascension there was really no necessity to them if you wanted to play normally, they could be ignored just fine. But with maps like Origins the staff wonder weapons are a pretty integral part of the easter egg and attempting to make them without intent to complete said challenge will just cause you to keep hearing Samantha verbally berate you for not doing anything which is annoying. It also marks the first time the M 1911 wasn't the starter pistol so I guess that's metaphorically what happened, they ditched what had previously been done in favor of something different, but not entirely better. While I'd say Origins is still a good map by the time BO3 zombies and gobble gum I would consider any challenge thrown out because from what I understand those things are basically cheat codes. Now I must admit I've never played any zombies past BO2 but I do know there's a gobble gum that gives you all perks for free, and I believe you could choose your starting loadout but I'm not sure on that one. Point is it stopped being about killing zombies and more about making the story side quests the main quest and I guess the gameplay never really got caught up with it, I really stopped paying attention to any of it since BO3 so I wouldn't know anything past that point really
I honestly really enjoy the progression system in cold war, adding that to zombies and really fleshing out the perk and weapon systems makes it my favorite zombies to play these days, huge copium but we can only hope zombies chronicles 2 comes to cold war
Sadly I think the minute i was maxed out and got dark aether I basically immediately was done. It was good but something else needs to be there to hold
@@moosemafia1659 i think honestly we just need more maps. i wish one day they’d just make an updated engine remake of every single zombies map with the option to use that maps classic guns. I’d pay 60$ easily for that, full progression and all maps like a halo master chief collection but for zombies. Cold war and newer zombies just need more maps and content :(
@@tristanwalker2858 what I've been doing is going back to black ops 2 and 4. Like play maps you never put much time into before. Tranzit and dead of the night are way better than you think. Tranxit because some exploits like the melee galva strat is good, but dotn is just actually good if u learn it. A lot of parts to learn but the process is satisfying. Its like hunt vampires and do a little game with lampposts to get a sick wonder weapon instead of just grind
Shino had the fast rounds glitch not instakill rounds but that helped too and on town there are 6 perks not 4 also electric cherry was a good perk too, not just vulture
This has helped me fall asleep before. Something about listening to someone talk about something they care about that I know nothing about is nice for me
Black Ops 1 hosted most of my experience with zombies, though I was there from the start of World at War. I remember my very first time playing Nacht in early 2009. I was 11 years old and the game genuinely terrified me so much that I didn't play it solo for months. One thing I want to mention about Call of the Dead is the Scavenger. While not the most powerful weapon, this was my absolute favourite in the franchise. Shooting a horde of zombies with a bolt that vaporises them after a couple of seconds and literally turns them in to red mist? Plus the noise when pack-a-punched is so so good. I haven't played much zombies in years. It's probably been 10 years since I played call of the dead, but I'll always love the Scavenger and it's upgrade.
I've played every zombies map I can think of and I can honestly say transit is my favorite map ever. I understand everyone hates it but still to this day I miss that map and wish they would do something more with the idea
I love that I feel like I was interested in the game only at the peak of the game and the success from BOZ has just been impossible to replicate. My roommates got really comfortable on Shi No Numa and I started playing as well when Der Riese was released. We weren't living together when Tranzit was released.
Random thought: They should recreate the feeling of needing to defend a small house like in Nacht. You can go outside, but if you are outside of a house then the zombies are stronger and faster than you to incentivize getting indoors as soon as possible. Make it a bigger map with multiple small buildings to fortify. There can be different things scattered outside for you to scavenge and collect but again, they should make it impossible to train or remain outside for long periods of time. You HAVE to find shelter and board up the windows or you'll die
I LOVE How you didn’t stop playing the der eisendrache video while talking about new maps because it was literally THE BEST map and i can’t stop watching it
Beautifully described video, it was critically criticize and profoundly deep with the fun fact, trivia, and information. I wish you gave the Easter egg songs a little spotlight how each map was given a theme for the songs. Great video though :)
The first map is still my favorite lol I was never really into trying to figure out puzzles in needed the internet for but it was still fun to finally do and I loved ascension and a lot
This was a real nice look on the past, thank you. Maybe it’s just the fact that I’m older and zombies just dosent feel the same, but truly after black ops 3 I just didn’t see any point in buying further cod games. I eventually bought Cold War, enjoyed the campaign and played a bit of zombies, but it just wasn’t the same anymore
Ight call be crazy but Infinite Warfare zombies... ik ik dont kill me yet tho, the characters actually have some personality, it has decent easter eggs that arent too hard or easy, the story isnt too bad, each map has its own quirky gimmick that gives it a distinct flavor, and honestly its an entirely different goofier feel to a zombies game... its like a diamond in the rough that no one knows about
Der Eisendrache is by far my favorite map. Spent countless hours in high school upgrading all the bows and trying to reach round 100. And I may be alone here but I actually didn't mind tranzit at the time
Your narrating is incredible man I love how you are able to talk about these maps as if they just came out you sound surprised and what not at moments which have been obviously known for years now
I started by playing Zombies on World at War. Seeing those four original maps brings me such amazing nostalgia from late 2008 and Summer 2009, just before Modern Warfare 2 was released
10:18 Kino was actually intended to be in WaW, but they moved it to Bo1 for some reason. I think it’s because they realized that Five wasn’t as strong of a map and wanted people’s first taste of zombies to be good, that’s why Kino kinda feels more WaW-ish to me tbh
Transit is fucking awesome, I played that map almost exclusively. You learn to run through the fog and recognize landmarks and knifing the denizens becomes muscle memory. Teleportation very easy to use in a pinch too. Yea at first your running around and get lost but I actually got to the point where I never took the bus I just ran through the fog. Most of my trains Were at the diner once I got set up with a good gun. Sounds like it was just too challenging for you 😉
honestly itd be okay if the map was made on a console that could handle it, thought tbh a lot of BO2 was a couple years ahead of its time. Tranzit was practically unplayable on the PS3, but i wouldnt mind seeing and playing a remake for a system that can handle the map without the fog just being different spice of pixels
@@ghosttoast8610 BO2 would have been great being delayed like a year and put on the PS4, except die rise. Shame such good potential got lost to lack of processing power
honestly i loved die rise. map flowed really well as a loop, the elevators are just kinda shortcuts that you can use but are risky to use. the wonder weapon is my fav of all time, you could go 2 ways out of the spawn room and the trample steam let you traverse part of the map backwards, i love the high stakes jumps where you have to jump from building to building or you fall to your death. I dont know about the easter egg as i never completed the entire thing because me and my friends were too bad at the game to finish it so i cant comment on it.
Hot take but I loved die rise I thought the setting was so cool. I have so much nostalgia playing this map. I definitely played it more than any other map on bo2
Pick up your cross and follow Jesus! The world is quickly headed for destruction, and sooner or later you will have to sit at the judgement seat and give an account for your actions. Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life! - Revelation 3:20. Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God tho. Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc and you should get a response. Have a blessed day!

Yes fellow zombies connoisseur. 🧟♂️
Buried is probably my favorite map of all time. And its because it still had the charm of the original zombies games but with what felt like a natural progression to something more complicated. What we got now is just a totally different game. I'll go back and play black ops 1 zombies all the time.
Based.
I would say it’s my second, but that doesn’t mean I don’t agree with you. My personal favorite is soe because it was my first map and it was free, it was fun, it was different, the Easter egg went along with the gameplay, I loved the beast feature, I loved how every part of the map had some purpose in some sense, the best wonder weapon in zombies history imo, and it was easy, but still challenging to get high rounds. Buried doesn’t have nearly as similar qualities as I see it as shadows, however it is the most fun zombies map I’ve ever played. I wish I could’ve played this game during black ops 2 prime, but the feeling of the game is just so amazing. You don’t need to do anything to play the game, don’t need to look up any tutorials, you can figure it out just by playing the game, the paralyzer is imo the most fun wonder weapon ever, I love being able to fly around with it and having infinite ammo and damage, the buildables that aren’t difficult to find parts too and are very good, I love Leroy, and camping at jug felt very similar to camping on the catwalk on der reise. Playing buried makes me feel like a kid again, and it just has that natural zombies feel which I love. It’s just a great map, and I’ve never had more fun on a zombies map
I'd say that it's the 2nd best map that I've played, didn't play anything past black ops 3, the top 1 being mob of the dead
Mm no?
Can i get zombies map for free somehow or can I share the maps I purchased? 15$ is cool at first until u want to play with someone and they dont have the map.
I still remember being way too young to be playing World At War, and upon finishing the campaign, being plunged into the deep end of what was once just a WW2 shooter now turned horror.
Needless to say that I was scared for the longest time of playing Zombies by myself.
Literally exact same experience
To this day playing Nacht der Untoten alone fills me with anxiety lmao

Oh the nostalgia. Funny enough, TranZit was actually the map that really got my friends and I into zombies. From there we went back and played all the maps from BO1, and when BO3 dropped it became an obsession lol. Miss those days
Me and my brother would play transit split screen way back on the ps3. I even watched my Godbrothers play it completely in the dark with the sound boasted. Good times
It was exactly the same for me
I played bo2 zombies with my cousin and my brother, I could only go there maybe 3 times a year but I remember it being very fun
Nearly exactly how I got into zombies. A friend of mine had bo2 and we played the maps he had, Town, Tranzit and Die Rise. It was... awesome.
Then I had a Break for some years and didn't know much about what was going on. Then in the end of 2016 I saw things going on about bo3 Zombies and I WAS HOOKED ON THAT SHIT. I "borrowed" the Game from my Cousin (I still have it to this day) and played hours upon hours on nearly every map. Those were the glorious says were you just tried over and over again to get an easter egg or get to a higher round than before.
I muss those times man...
TranZit
I didn't even realize we had this many maps for zombies. Pretty wild that after all of these years they haven't tried making a dedicated game for the mode at this point.
Some kind of anniversary game that somehow features all the zombies maps would be crazy and sell like hotcakes. Even if they charged $70 the amount of content in that game would be totally worth it.

yeah i also like Die Rise, sadly not that good at it though.

I can understand why people don’t like the map, but I 100% agree with you. I never liked tranzit, so when Die Rise launched I lived on that map.

Same! I remember hoping off the bus and going for the combat knife in the tiny cabin, then using that to take out the denizens before they could even latch onto you. Made running through the fog so much more intense. Having to hold out on the bus until it started moving again... Such great times.
Same bro
That was when I learned early in life, sometimes you need to leave your friends behind.
I loved the challenge. Truly tests your gamer iq
I started with Bo2, tried Bo1 and stopped after Bo3 - everything afterwards seems like a totally different game which I was never really interested in
They kept expanding on zombies to the point of making it bloated then a mosquito bite was enough to make pop it and then created they zombies we have now, from all of those zombie juices.
Sometimes, simple things and traditional playstyle is better than adding more content to the point that saturates the mind of the player with so much letters and numbers and things in the screen. I think if treyarch went backwards with just the playstyle of Bo1 with just bigger maps and some inovations and different wonder weapons and traps or characters but without changing the essence of classic zombies would have given them the love of the community.
@@bsf4962 The thing is Treyarch won't be able to win now. There are undoubtedly people who like this new zombies, there are also people who love the old so no matter what they do they can't really win.
@@PJ-oe6eu more people seem to like b03 zombies so yes they can win
@@JT-xn8gq yeah, BO3 zombies still seems the most alive out of all
The best part about doing the "objectives" in the old games is that they didn't feel like objectives. Part of figuring the things out yourself and not having prompts or UI guides made it all the more satisfying. Doing ee's or getting wonder weapons felt satisfying because you had to go out of your way to accomplish them, whereas now it's just part of the experience as a whole. Having that sorta choice between the two worked more seamlessly. Players who wanted to just sit back and kill zombies could, and players who wanted to rush to get everything done as fast as possible also could. It was optional, but rewarding. Now it's just in your face. I am enjoying CW a lot though.

I loved Tranzit. Makes me sad that everyone hates it. I always thought it was popular. I mainly liked it cause of the bank and the bus that takes you to different areas. I did not like how you upgraded, though.
It's the best ever zombies map, these younger dudes just hate it coz it's too hard for them with the lava and fog but it's actually the best without a doubt and I've played all them since I was about 15 haha
@@3210-n1x nah you tweaking TranZit is pure unadulterated trash
Transit is my favorite. Out of any map from WAW to BO3, Transit is the one I played the most. I played the default map for WAW a lot, I played Five more than any other map on BO1, Transit the most on BO2, and Shadows of Evil or Origins on BO3. When my friends and I get together and break out the old 360, we go straight to MW3 survival or BO2 Transit split screen. Unmatched experience.
Its exactly as most rankings talk about it transit is really bad compared to other map and i played A LOT of map since i was about 10 on bo1. BUT it doesn't mean i didn't spend hours on it with my friends, we really had a blast on it. But that's it... it was a map were you did dumb shit with your friends, explored the different areas, had fun and so on. It wasn't a map were you would seriously go in solo and play it with intention of breaking you record, doing a serious zombie run or finishing the easter egg. It depens on how you rank the maps
@@3210-n1x there’s a difference between your favorite and the best. Tranzit can you be your favorite but it has much more clear flaws than a map like origins
I feel like one thing about treyarch maps is they all have potential to be great, if tranzit and die rise were remastered and released in Cold War they would’ve been amazing in my opinion, and all BO4 maps had amazing potential and would’ve probably been better received if the game didn’t have such a bad release
Bo4 had a dogshit budget
@@OpticHamster69 it also made it worse that they spent all that money on the campaign just to end up canceling it in the end
@@thegeek4576 yeah pretty sad that ended up happening.
I loved Black Ops IIII's customization options and ability to add AI teammates, but I do feel it was the beginning of the downfall of classic maps. I honestly enjoyed Infinite Warfare Zombies and even Exo Zombies more and that pains me to say 😅
All the "bad" maps are only hampered by like one or two issued each imo. The zombies game loop was just too solid at a certain point, that anytime they tried to shake it up a bit, it would backfire. I personally love TranZit even though those things that jump on your face make my prostate swell like a gahtdamn balloon.
I cannot get over how
1. Nostalgic this is
2. How beautiful the graphics are on PC
Nine from bo4 was one of my favorite maps, it was crazy good. it’s just where it was placed on bo4 that made it look bad, the perks system too. I think if Nine was made in bo3 it would of been one of best maps ever made.
your complete right. i think some things didn’t need to be changed. like the perks and how the game just feels. if they make a game feel like bo1-bo3 playability wise they could take zombies almost anywhere 🎃

Just played Kino with an old friend (we played regularly when it first came out)
The fun and nostalgia was INCREDIBLE played it for like 3 hours miss this era of gameing.
split screen.
nothing quite like it.
I honestly miss when zombies was just pure survival like on Kino and not some weird fantasy story thing, I dunno zombies just feels odd to me now.
Funny you say that cause that map was when the story shit just started ramping up
They ruined zombies with the stupid easter eggs
And they can’t figure out that that’s what made us fall in love with zombies to begin with. If it went back to that I’m sure a lot of the og zombie players would come back. I used to grind hours on hours on those old maps.
I totally agree, but I think us more old school fans are a minority nowadays. I think the main shift was that the maps since bo2 have focused more on the story and objective style gameplay, whereas the pre-bo2 ones focused more on the maps themselves and the survival style gameplay. Before Origins the main gameplay loop was upgrading your stuff and staying alive, whereas after Origins it was focused on completing objectives and progressing through the story. What used to be easter eggs became the main point and I think that's the shift that I personally disliked.
plus yeah all the weird fantasy stuff totally turns me off too, 90% of the appeal was the creepy unsettling post-war vibe of the early maps which is completely gone in the new maps where you're time travelling and drinking dark matter from golden goblets and fighting Greek gods like it's a fucking god of war game and you're playing as Kratos lmao
@@josh.y they should remake a ton of the maps we like in cold war/vanguard (i guess)
like town or kino would go so fucking hard on a game like cold war but they never will do something like that, theyre gonna keep making new maps one always worse than the last
6:21 the Instakill bug was also in bo1 isn’t even the main bug that makes the shino Numa Record the highest out of all the maps, it’s 24 zombies a round glitch that makes it so there’s only 24 zombies every round (1 horde) only on solo in the first 3 maps
I don't necessarily think its a glitch
There are no glitches involved, in SnN high rounds. Like, at all. Zero.
@@emisorano the insta kill rounds are glitches
Zombies in solo were capped at 24 per round for the first 3 maps in World at War. They changed it in Der Riese in response to some of the obscenely high rounds people were achieving.
@@bruhddyholly no it’s programmed that way to not override the integer limit
Damn this was nostalgic. I never really got into the new black ops, got busy with college and stuff.. but you described all the old ones perfectly. It's like we all collectively had the same thoughts about these maps 😂
My favorite Ascension 4 person strat was camp at Flopper, 2 people watch the 2 windows and 2 people are on Flopping duty, just keep floppin and exploding the zombies from the staircase. Was more fun than training at times.
buried, moon, and origins are the maps I have the best memories of. probably spent thousands of hours on those three maps alone
You should've included the non-Treyarch maps in this as they are still CoD Zombies and I'd say are worth talking about. None of them are perfect but they do some interesting things that I'm surprised Treyarch hasn't adopted themselves.
I was just thinking this
True, I did play a lot of Advanced Warfare zombies and enjoyed it for instance but when most anyone thinks of COD zombies, they think of a Treyarch sequel to that which started with Nacht. The off brand zombies felt like just that, off brand and one time deals that were fun for a moment but didn’t give that classic OG feel
True man, I hopped off the zombies bandwagon after Shadows of evil, haven't really played many video game since then. Now it sounds like he's leaving a ton out from each map & not showing any of the weapons/ features as he mentions them, but sounds like he Left out entire maps lmao
Spaceland and Rave in the redwoods are awesome maps, and i would say they are as good as the treyarch maps
Zombies in space land is seriously slept on
You forgot to mention, in terms of vurrukt being insanely hard, zombies on ONLY vurrukt would "windmill arm" you, hitting you twice instead of once.
You were at a serious risk of getting essentially 1 shot by any zombie until you got jug
Verrukt?
zombies are a oneshot if they hit you twice
is this true??? really neat little fun fact there I honestly never realized this and esp never realized it if its only specific to one map.
@@ArturoPladeado you're contradicting yourself rn lol
In verruckt and Nacht der Untotten u had more health than in the next maps.

I remember being so excited for the next iteration of Zombies.. and along came Kino Der Totem which became my favorite Zombies map of all time. The memories man
Wow. Bo2 zombies was the end for me I didn't even realize it continued on that much longer. I played a little Bo3 zombies at friends houses but was never into it and thought it ended there. Great video
Its funny because Five has always been my favorite map nothing beats slaying hordes of zombies while having McNamara jfk castro and nixon yelling iconic lines all around you. And i loved the pentagon thieve so much because it was so fun yelling at your friends in panic to figure out a battle plan for him and who can see him and who is on the far side. FIVE really was just such a solid map.
To be honest, Die Rise was fun when it first came out, and Tranzit was a great map to me. The BO2 ranking system made it my favorite zombies.
Man Tranzit was some of the most fun I ever had in zombies
Gets wayyy too much hate than it should. After Kino it’s probably my 2nd most played map.
Tranzit with the homies was Hella fun
It was a fun map to messs around with friends
"People don't like having their guns taken away" this Texan agrees lol I was one of those that preferred Five, it felt a bit quicker paced and I was all for it.
I really appreciate this video. Nobody really talks about the design philosophy of zombie maps. It's very useful to people making custom content (like myself) to have a good understanding of the philosophy and theory behind some of the greatest (and worst) zombies maps across the Call of Duty franchise. Analysis videos that really break that stuff down are critically helpful to people like myself.
Thanks for your work.
World at War is still absolutely my favorite age of zombies. Something about it’s simplicity gives it a charm that I just love (and Der Rise is still my highest SOLO round at over 110.) Black Ops had some great maps too but it hasn’t aged as well for me and BO2 was varied. Never played the future titles myself bc I ended up leaving the COD train after AW, but it’s interesting to see how stuff has evolved.

Verruckt was probably my favorite to play with friends because we knew a glitch that would keep us safe in the 2nd floor hallway on the left. Long time zombies players will know exactly the glitch i'm talking about. Another map with a good glitch is Kino der Toten. There's a spot on the stage stairs by the teleporter that the dogs will ignore if you're standing there, makes dog rounds easy.
Jup i know what you mean. Still play on the xbox?
Do you remember the Nacht der Untoten glitch when you could jump on the broken concrete support beam on the first level? I remember when it got patched, sad days.
One interesting fact and one funny fact about MoTD:
It was the map that turned Easter Eggs into Main Quests.
If anyone wanted to do a "Jason Blundell in a Nutshell" they just need to describe MoTD because that's basically how BO3 and BO4 Zombies worked.
FINALLY a UA-camr who appreciates DoTN and Ancient evil, my #1 and #2 favorite maps.
P. S. The Thundergun is also on Tag Der Toten!
Tranzit is my favorite map easily. You needed the galvaknuckles to travel anywhere without the denizens attacking you.
Or carry a deployable buildable while running, letting you knife them to death before they can grab you.
Or just the combat knife from the little cabin. Hopiong off the bus mid-trip and running to the cabin was always fun for me.
Man I used to love tranzit until I finally got a huge look at the flaws of the map
This video brought back so many memories. I started with WaW zombies but mostly played BO1 and BO2 zombies. Town and mob of the dead are probably the maps I remember playing the most. Just chilling and getting to high rounds after school or late into the night was blissful. I miss those days a lot and I miss the homies that I would party up with but just grew apart from.

Me and my older brother would play WaW zombies, while blasting System of a Down. We'd be sitting a room away from eachother on our Halo Reach edition 360's, while trying different strats (and possibly glitches) on the original four maps. Best CoD memories right there. ♥
Nobody talks about the infinite warfare zombies. I know they were not treyark, but I think that is what makes them even more special.
They innovate in quite a few things and are really enjoyable to play. It's true the story is not very good, but the easter eggs are fun.
I think they pulled off some amazing maps for their first (and only) zombies game. I whish they did another one
I completely forgot that the main gimmick of zombies was just doing everything you could to keep zombies from getting through the barriers
This video deserves more views man. You unlocked so many deep memories I forgot. Especially from the first Black Ops. That’s when zombies was at a peak that I have yet to see it really get back too.
28:36 that moment when the skull of nan sapwe is so powerful that it alters your speech
Watching this to remind myself of when I was younger and would just sit down to watch my dad play these maps. I remember my mom always getting mad because my dad would play late at night and I wouldn’t get much sleep,,, I miss it.
I’ve never found exploration of maps so fun in any game as in zombies because you are so invested in it. The areas especially in BO2 and BO3 look great and and so freakin cool and creative. The exploration is so important to your survival + all the buildable and easter eggs making you really try pay attention to everything to see any hints on how to solve something or discovering something new you can solve. And ”ooo, what happens when that finishes? What a mystery! Ahhh I died, oh well grab a drink, piss and start up a new round!”
Bruh just love the feeling.
kino, five, and ascension were the ones i grew up with and played endlessly with my brother. such fond memories with those maps

Tranzit is definitely a F tier map
@@SniperWolfKing77 Tranzit sucks. Bo2 was on the fence, i'd put it under bo1 and bo3 in terms of zombies. Tranzit, Die Rise. 2 of the worst maps ever, but Origins and MOTD, 2 of the best, and buried was great too.
I have had some of the most fun I’ve ever had playing zombies on Tranzit. You have to play with friends for sure, but it is so much fun
Same. Been playing zombies since waw but tranzit with friends was so fun.
10:00 small error. The crawlers in kino Was the second non-zombie creature. Not the pentagon thief.
Technically the crawlers are the third, as hellhounds are the second
They released at the same time, so they really would be tied for second, however there is also a third candidate, the gorilla from dead ops arcade that also launched with them
2:42 my mans just command inputed a shoryuken into a sentence
Really cool and interesting analysis, thanks man! I definitely hope zombies takes on the more "arcade" feel that u described in revelations. It sucks how the new zombies looks like multiplayer. They also need to ditch objectives and stick w round based, way less boring
There was a small group of kids in my grade that played zombies back in 2008, from A graders to the trouble makers. We all played together on weeknights despite being the most unlikely friends in school. Some of them were so bad but we all got along and had fun. Good times.
As a kid I hated zombie movies they gore, the eating the very sounds make me uneasy so much so that when I beat world of war cod I was so happy then dread. That cutscene, that fucking laughter of that scary voice. It was the perfect mood for not only the ending which took me until midnight also made the zombie map fucking terrifying to play to the point where I think I quit the map my first time cuz I was so afraid of the zombies lol
I used to be very scared of zombies when i was younger unless it was cartoonish like PvZ
I was actually really scared of zombies because of wow zombies... I didn't really get over it until around middle school when I decided to play it with a friend instead of by myself. It ended up helping out with me making friends and introduced me to the idea of playing with other people. I feel that every child needs one of those things that they are scared of in order to help them grow as they learn to overcome it.
I still kinda have that, I can't play Call of Duty Zombies or anything like that on my own. If I have someone playing with me, or even just talking to them whilst playing, I'm fine, but on my own, I just cannot play games like that, it just makes me freak out and close the game shortly after starting to play.
Origins is the perfect middle ground of basic survival map and Easter egg being forced down your throat
Loved this video. Clearly a lot of effort was put in and really glad to see such amazing content you've been putting out.
I feel like Origins marked the point where zombies stopped really being about zombies and more about tedious side questing to get the "easter eggs". And the reason I think that is because while Easter eggs had been around since ascension there was really no necessity to them if you wanted to play normally, they could be ignored just fine. But with maps like Origins the staff wonder weapons are a pretty integral part of the easter egg and attempting to make them without intent to complete said challenge will just cause you to keep hearing Samantha verbally berate you for not doing anything which is annoying. It also marks the first time the M 1911 wasn't the starter pistol so I guess that's metaphorically what happened, they ditched what had previously been done in favor of something different, but not entirely better. While I'd say Origins is still a good map by the time BO3 zombies and gobble gum I would consider any challenge thrown out because from what I understand those things are basically cheat codes. Now I must admit I've never played any zombies past BO2 but I do know there's a gobble gum that gives you all perks for free, and I believe you could choose your starting loadout but I'm not sure on that one. Point is it stopped being about killing zombies and more about making the story side quests the main quest and I guess the gameplay never really got caught up with it, I really stopped paying attention to any of it since BO3 so I wouldn't know anything past that point really
Dude really skipped WWII, Zombies in Spaceland, and Exo Zombies even tho he said "every zombies map"
Are you dumb
Chrrism, you're awesome! You are literally the only zombies yter I watch anymore
I honestly really enjoy the progression system in cold war, adding that to zombies and really fleshing out the perk and weapon systems makes it my favorite zombies to play these days, huge copium but we can only hope zombies chronicles 2 comes to cold war
Sadly I think the minute i was maxed out and got dark aether I basically immediately was done. It was good but something else needs to be there to hold
@@moosemafia1659 i think honestly we just need more maps. i wish one day they’d just make an updated engine remake of every single zombies map with the option to use that maps classic guns. I’d pay 60$ easily for that, full progression and all maps like a halo master chief collection but for zombies. Cold war and newer zombies just need more maps and content :(
@@tristanwalker2858 what I've been doing is going back to black ops 2 and 4. Like play maps you never put much time into before. Tranzit and dead of the night are way better than you think. Tranxit because some exploits like the melee galva strat is good, but dotn is just actually good if u learn it. A lot of parts to learn but the process is satisfying. Its like hunt vampires and do a little game with lampposts to get a sick wonder weapon instead of just grind
@@moosemafia1659 plus BO3 has some crazy good custom maps
Shino had the fast rounds glitch not instakill rounds but that helped too and on town there are 6 perks not 4 also electric cherry was a good perk too, not just vulture
This has helped me fall asleep before. Something about listening to someone talk about something they care about that I know nothing about is nice for me
Black Ops 1 hosted most of my experience with zombies, though I was there from the start of World at War. I remember my very first time playing Nacht in early 2009. I was 11 years old and the game genuinely terrified me so much that I didn't play it solo for months.
One thing I want to mention about Call of the Dead is the Scavenger. While not the most powerful weapon, this was my absolute favourite in the franchise.
Shooting a horde of zombies with a bolt that vaporises them after a couple of seconds and literally turns them in to red mist? Plus the noise when pack-a-punched is so so good.
I haven't played much zombies in years. It's probably been 10 years since I played call of the dead, but I'll always love the Scavenger and it's upgrade.
I've played every zombies map I can think of and I can honestly say transit is my favorite map ever. I understand everyone hates it but still to this day I miss that map and wish they would do something more with the idea
Dude tranzit with friends is where it shined so many good memories with the Xbox homies
I love that I feel like I was interested in the game only at the peak of the game and the success from BOZ has just been impossible to replicate. My roommates got really comfortable on Shi No Numa and I started playing as well when Der Riese was released. We weren't living together when Tranzit was released.
Random thought: They should recreate the feeling of needing to defend a small house like in Nacht. You can go outside, but if you are outside of a house then the zombies are stronger and faster than you to incentivize getting indoors as soon as possible. Make it a bigger map with multiple small buildings to fortify. There can be different things scattered outside for you to scavenge and collect but again, they should make it impossible to train or remain outside for long periods of time. You HAVE to find shelter and board up the windows or you'll die
And then you can unlock an underground connection between the jouses
That be really fun
That is literally a Days Gone side mode lol
@@H4mbrgr days gone/dying light
You mean Tranzit? Lmfao
I LOVE How you didn’t stop playing the der eisendrache video while talking about new maps because it was literally THE BEST map and i can’t stop watching it
Beautifully described video, it was critically criticize and profoundly deep with the fun fact, trivia, and information. I wish you gave the Easter egg songs a little spotlight how each map was given a theme for the songs. Great video though :)
The first map is still my favorite lol I was never really into trying to figure out puzzles in needed the internet for but it was still fun to finally do and I loved ascension and a lot
This was a real nice look on the past, thank you. Maybe it’s just the fact that I’m older and zombies just dosent feel the same, but truly after black ops 3 I just didn’t see any point in buying further cod games. I eventually bought Cold War, enjoyed the campaign and played a bit of zombies, but it just wasn’t the same anymore
Ight call be crazy but Infinite Warfare zombies... ik ik dont kill me yet tho, the characters actually have some personality, it has decent easter eggs that arent too hard or easy, the story isnt too bad, each map has its own quirky gimmick that gives it a distinct flavor, and honestly its an entirely different goofier feel to a zombies game... its like a diamond in the rough that no one knows about
@@oerlikon20mm29 nah everyone knew but it felt like a cash grab because of the success of treyarchs zombies.
Damn bro, this is gonna be epic.
Der Eisendrache is by far my favorite map. Spent countless hours in high school upgrading all the bows and trying to reach round 100. And I may be alone here but I actually didn't mind tranzit at the time
I even though not a player of the COD zombies, i honestly like the olders ones. Their vibe are just so different that it makes it lovely.
Die Rise is always be my Top 1.
But I respect your opinion. You have a lot of interesting takes on this maps! ^^
i even think that transit was better :D but die rise is also great

Your narrating is incredible man I love how you are able to talk about these maps as if they just came out you sound surprised and what not at moments which have been obviously known for years now
They need to make an actual zombie campaign. Not flat out running around crazy like these but just a normal campaign but with zombies.
Are you talking about nightmares or do you mean like a campaign revolved around zombies?

I started by playing Zombies on World at War. Seeing those four original maps brings me such amazing nostalgia from late 2008 and Summer 2009, just before Modern Warfare 2 was released

10:18 Kino was actually intended to be in WaW, but they moved it to Bo1 for some reason. I think it’s because they realized that Five wasn’t as strong of a map and wanted people’s first taste of zombies to be good, that’s why Kino kinda feels more WaW-ish to me tbh
Transit is fucking awesome, I played that map almost exclusively. You learn to run through the fog and recognize landmarks and knifing the denizens becomes muscle memory. Teleportation very easy to use in a pinch too. Yea at first your running around and get lost but I actually got to the point where I never took the bus I just ran through the fog. Most of my trains Were at the diner once I got set up with a good gun. Sounds like it was just too challenging for you 😉
honestly itd be okay if the map was made on a console that could handle it, thought tbh a lot of BO2 was a couple years ahead of its time. Tranzit was practically unplayable on the PS3, but i wouldnt mind seeing and playing a remake for a system that can handle the map without the fog just being different spice of pixels
@@enisolaris518 I play town with my sister on ps3 and anytime we both have lmgs the game goes down to like 5 fps
@@ghosttoast8610 BO2 would have been great being delayed like a year and put on the PS4, except die rise. Shame such good potential got lost to lack of processing power
The best line in the whole video "People don't like it when you take their guns" so true, in life as it is in art.
honestly i loved die rise. map flowed really well as a loop, the elevators are just kinda shortcuts that you can use but are risky to use. the wonder weapon is my fav of all time, you could go 2 ways out of the spawn room and the trample steam let you traverse part of the map backwards, i love the high stakes jumps where you have to jump from building to building or you fall to your death.
I dont know about the easter egg as i never completed the entire thing because me and my friends were too bad at the game to finish it so i cant comment on it.
The fact that there are 38 maps now is absolutely insane
That's also excluding aw, Iw and ww2 zombies
@@ECCHI_FIEND do they matter though?
@@realzerometro

Pick up your cross and follow Jesus! The world is quickly headed for destruction, and sooner or later you will have to sit at the judgement seat and give an account for your actions. Belief in messiah alone is not enough to grant you salvation - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life! - Revelation 3:20.
Contemplate how the Roman Empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years going back to Babylon and before, C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate once you start a relationship with God tho.
Can't get a response from God? Fasting can help increase your perception and prayer can help initiate events. God will ignore you if your prayer does not align with His purpose (James 4:3) or if you are approaching Him when "unclean" (Isaiah 1:15, Isaiah 59:2, Micah 3:4). Stop eating food sacrificed to idols (McDonald's, Wendy's etc) stop glorifying yourself on social media or making other images of yourself (Second Commandment), stop gossiping about other people, stop watching obscene content etc and you should get a response. Have a blessed day!
Why the weird cut at 25:36?
Man WaW zombies till this day is the most unerving zombies experience I had. They absolutely nailed the uncertainty of zombie survival and creepy atmosphere. For those who ended up shitting themselves after the campaign yk 😭
