I'm extremely proud of this review and while there are things I need to work on, I'm still so proud of how this video came out. Thank you everyone who watches, it means a lot. And just in time for Cold War too!

Hey bro I have a video of me getting the social distancing calling card solo I'm a good player and would love to play with you my call of duty name is SeizeSerious add me if you want some good games
I still love that Beast from Beyond is so awful that it doesn't even get a fun spin on its name.
This was a really great watch.
It’s such a pity that IW didn’t catch on. I felt like Spaceland’s core design even managed to capture a magic that Treyarch lost during the Blundell era-a focus on the map and location being the “main character”
I actually greatly preferred Spaceland’s approach over the Blundell stuff which got a bit too “fan fiction-y melodrama” for my taste and too fixated on the player characters
Glad you enjoyed it! And I completely agree, spaceland's sandbox like design leads players to a ton of exploration, expiramentation, and creativity. It's a lot more fun sometimes than the linear quest like design of the blundell era
Shoalin Shuffle is personally one of my very favourite maps in zombies history. I personally like the fact the characters play their film roles for each map. Adds to the atmosphere.
I think it’s the worst map by far arguably in history because of the ninja zombies completely ruining high rounds, but I care only about high rounds and Easter egg is a bonus to me which I also find really bad with all of the outside sources you need to use. I’m happy you like it though it really goes to show how different zombies players can like the game for
@@dannyv934The ninjas aren’t even that bad
Rizzo, Is That You? What Have You Done With Stanley?
Just hearing that is an absolute compliment thank you so much. Trust me I could only dream of making a review as in depth and good as his
@@Stanley557 god I wish Rizzo didn’t delete his Infinite Warfare review
@@andymancan_
Why'd he do that anyway?
@@N-GinAndTonicTM idk i think cause it was extremely negative and rizzo said he didn’t want to be like that anymore
@@andymancan_ that actually makes a lot of sense because Rizzo says in one of his other reviews that he won’t give his full thoughts on a map because and then says “because last time I criticized something you like” and shows an image of Infinite warfare
Broooo whatt?!? I want a sequel to this so bad. I think the story was good despite Willard contradicting himself. I want to know what’s next. I enjoyed the gameplay and all the Easter eggs. And directors cut and just everything. They reward you big time for doing all the Easter eggs. Unpopular opinion, I hope we get a sequel
I agree there needs to be a sequel
Agreed
I absolutely hate infinity ward but, they absolutely nailed zombies. I can't believe it's never had a second chance
Agreed, but people want cold war zombie… just look at the bo6 teaser for zombies… im afraid it gonna end up being another cold war zombies
This game I love and I have all 88 achievements for it which just shows how much I loved this zombies, every calling card too for zombies
I have every card except one....for beating radioactive like 3 more times. Does anything special happen when you get every card..ty
@@johngilbert5981 no
Your longest produced video yet mate, it's been a ride watching you develop this thing, and it's great to see you finish it!
i mean i really enjoyed this game for the most part. i think it’s kind of hard to stack it up to treyarch zombies. there are plenty of ways to get ammo in spaceland… and with the storyline hiccups, i think this game is supposed to be kind of taken lightly and as a joke, as compared to a totally serious treyarch experience.
I understand that yeah, it's just my own silly opinion, I play all of these games in tandem like a crazy person so when writing these reviews I can't help but compare them to each other. You make a very good point though, I wished I had wrote my issues with the story different as the story telling flaws I have in the IW review work much better in the upcoming WWII Zombies review
@@Stanley557 haha yeah. i’m silly for commenting my criticism on a one year old video about a 5 year old game 🤣🤣 and im probably biased because i really liked this game. but lots of the points in this video were true
Hey its all good! I love the conversation of it all and please, more comments does the algorithm wonders.
Honestly, after beating meph and experiencing most of IW's content i would say you can easily stack it up to 3arc zombies, specially after Cold War and Vanguard. The only thing IW lacks in comparsion to BO3 and BO4 in my opinion is more maps and more polished gameplay mechanics (like seriously, zombie-player collision and melee has only been this bad in WAW)
Yeah the zombie hit detection is probably some of the series and I can't express how much more I'd enjoy the game if it was polished up
This was a very high quality review.
Very epic, did kek.
This is a pretty decent review. Just felt the constant back and forth with Blood of the Dead in the Spaceland portion overstayed its welcome in the end.
Glad you enjoyed it, yeah I agree the analogy went on too long but if you liked this review I'd highly recommend my Advanced Warfare and WWII zombies reviews!
When bringing up story items like radios and ciphers, Rave in the Redwoods is the first map in which it begins to flesh out more of the story and Willard's backstory. Just thought that was something worth knowing.
Yeah that's true
Infinite warfare is an amazing zombie experience. Way more satisfying now a days. Probably the best cod zombies after bo3. After IW , cod zombies went downhill tremendously
This video along with your one on exo zombies were phenomenal as good a zombies review as i have seen keep up the great work man
Glad you enjoyed it! If you liked these reviews give the wwii one a shot it's easily my best work
Great video, but one thing you didn’t mention was that Rave mode in RitR grants you a permanent double points while active. It’s great for early rounds and point collection, however as you said once you’re set up there’s no reason to use it especially due to the slasher spawning after round 10
I actually didn't learn this until just recently. When replaying Rave on stream but thanks though!
Wait what
while i disagree with some of the video, i really enjoyed this analysis. I really like that you mentioned the horrible drop rates on ZIS.
Thanks for leaving a comment, I'm glad you didn't agree with my opinions and thoughts I'm glad people can come to their own conclusions. These were just my silly thoughts but yeah IW drop rates are garbage
@@Stanley557 Me and my friend have been attempting the ZIS EE and we just run out of ammo constantly. We went THREE rounds with no ammo. Only reason we got one was due to a clown round. Really good video man.
@@Bizarrebirchdoesgame sorry to hear, ZiS is just a hard egg, good luck in the boss fight.
@@Stanley557 I'm just dreading having to even play the beast from beyond
Haha yeah that one is a dumpster fire for many different reasons but I think the videos does my thoughts justice
The artstyle & tone of the zombies mode reminds me of Total Drama Island
I like watching these little channels grow good job!
:)
Man you did an amazing job with this. IW zombies is still the best call of duty zombies game ever!! Even after watching your whole video you can’t shake the amazing job they did. Absolute masterpiece. You don’t even get anything in any other zombies game like directors cut. Such a legend.
💀 you definitely have room temperature iq
IW is what got me hooked on zombies. My first map was Der Eisendrache, but I was more of a casual player during BO3 It's when IW came out when I realized how cool and unique this mode is.
Very good review, lack of views frustrates me!
Story of my channel bro. But glad you liked it. Comments like these make it all worth it 😄
You probably didn't know this at the time you made this, but rewind grenades completely refill your ammo. Making your point about "not having enough ammo on Spaceland" completely false. One thing you missed in the reward section is that on Attack when you finish the Easter egg you get infinite fate and fortune card refills for that match. Not a great reward, but there is something other than Elvira.
Huh didn't know that about Attack, granted I never use cards in IW a whole lot
@@Stanley557 Yeah unlike the Alien Fuses, The Smiley or The Sword it's not communicated to the player at all that it's the reward. I don't think people found out about it for a good while.
“Part 1, zombies in space jam”
*avagodro boss theme plays*
And I’ve subscribed!
“Extremely difficult easter egg” I absolutely suck at any and all zombies. I’ve been playing for years and I’m still not good. However, Zombies In SpaceLand could not be any easier lol. You find three parts, wait a round to build it. And within 5 rounds your ready for the boss fight. (I’m factoring you get lucky and pull a wonder weapon from the box instead of building one cutting lots of time and steps)
Without director's cut it is pretty hard though. When you have it it's honestly just a matter of trial and error even if you suck, since you can get set up in 10 minutes. But if you dont, you'll waste a lot of time for preparations, lose perks if you go down and so on. Also spaceland pre-patch was easily the hardest boss fight ever back in the days. I remember the easter egg taking like 5-6 days to finally be solved because nobody could get past those immortal aliens
Getting set up takes time, its not nessacarily "difficult" just time consuming af. W/O director's cut it can take you like an hour of freezing zombies for cash to get your perks, wonder weapons, and open up the whole map. And especially solo, the zeti coms are completely dependent on their location. I have had several easter egg runs be ruined because of getting one of the bad zeticom locations as the 3RD ONE which is 120 seconds, and even with the best weapons you can have at that time
Spaceland is a night and day difference of difficulty if you try it with or without director's cut, not only are the WWs paped much stronger against the alien, but also with DC you can have up to 6 downs in the bossfight and will always have your perks when you get up, without it you down once and it is basically over, but people who get carried until they unlock DC won't know that...
The video was really well made, and it looked like you put a ton of effort into it! Definitely enjoyed your style of presenting it, and I’m looking forward to your other videos as well (just watched your exo zombies video too)!
However, I feel like you couldn’t look at the game-mode for what it was. It never tried to be a story experience that made literary sense and tied all the events together (Treyarch stories in themselves are pretty bad too if you ignore the gameplay), it just wanted to be a fun gameplay experience and emulate what BO1 did. For example, blowing up the Earth or the time-travelling lost city were explained by a shoestring at best (before BO2 and BO3), but they have some of the most unique and fun experiences of any zombies games. IW was more in the same in my opinion, and I think it did that amazingly. I thoroughly enjoyed everything the game had to offer, although I might be biased since BO3 zombies was so bad for me that I nearly quit CoD for good because of it.
The game seemed to take a gameplay-first approach with just filling the gaps with a barebones story that was not really that great, but that wasn’t the point. I would liken IW to be more similar to Doom Eternal, a similarly gameplay based game with a very weak story but amazing set pieces, gameplay, and boss fights. I loved how IW didn’t try to be pretentious, didn’t try to be a great retelling of a battle between gods and monsters, or a multiverse spanning epic, but just a fun comic-like story which was willing to take itself lightly, like how BO1 was to a large extent. Each map offered something amazing, like Rave with all the charms that have fun, small Easter eggs that give you fun, small rewards, or attack with possibly the best buildable traps in the game, and the best perkaholic Easter egg of any game, that being the ghosts and skulls machines through all the various maps, which add so much replay value to me. And all of this is not even mentioning all the lobby music Easter eggs, the weekly bounties, the different variants IW allows you to get to spice up your game, and so much more. It is to me the second most fun zombies game in terms of gameplay after BO1.
I also think that your points about difficulty are a little overblown, but maybe that’s just coming from me because I still speedrun this game and do a lot of high rounds. For example, on spaceland, you can place the speakers in a certain order to guarantee certain colours on the simon says step, or how for the heart step on shaolin, the nunchucks can make the step much easier than just shooting the zombies without needing explosive touch, or how on attack, you can know. All the numbers by just knowing one of the numbers. Again, might be a nitpick, but felt like mentioning that to me at least, the game feels balanced with just the right amount of difficulty but also ease of access.
Again, maybe it’s just me who thinks that way considering BO3 pre-ZC was my least favourite zombies game and I could not find any fun in it apart from The Giant (a remake so not technically BO3) and DE at times. I felt the story was awful and messy and the maps prioritised Easter eggs over actual gameplay which made for no replay value unless you enjoy the main EE (take ZnS for example). BO3 felt like Blundell going overboard with the story and forgetting what made zombies good in the first place, while still being unfocused and unsure about his own vision. I liked the chaos story in BO4 and think that’s where Blundell could do his vision justice by having a fresh start. BO3 to me was an unpolished, messy travesty, and I know I’m in the minority for thinking that.
Your video actually kinda motivated me to make one of my own about IW, I might even make an essay on it sometime down the line. You definitely have found a subscriber in me!
Just read through your legenthy comment and I'm glad you liked the video! My WWII Retrospective is probably my best one so give that a shot. It's clear you're passionate about IW and I'm glad it has die hard fans. Its not my cup of tea but that's what makes zombies so special.
I love you Stanley!!!
About a possible continuation of the story: it could have been them teaming up with Willard to start solving the zombie problem for good. After all, they're still stuck in a microverse with zombies and the other microverses are still around too, so killing Mephistopheles did solve the big menace but didn't solve the other situations he created.
The writers could easily add that before being trapped in Spaceland, Willard wanted to tell them that he was in contact with someone (it can be an angelic figure, another devil or even a "personality" like the ones they met in the various movies that knows about dark rituals and has theories on how to solve the situations).
The new series of maps could be: the first one the team going to the figure that is in one of the microverses (one they were yet to explore) and make contact with them, the next one some map where they're in search of a mcguffin or a part of it that will help undo the microverses, then they need to do a step of the ritual in another one and so on. If an antagonist needs to be around, they could meet in the first map a survivor who either is trying to harness the ability to control the zombies and warp and reshape the microverses or, even more badass, a survivor or a whole team of survivors that enjoy the endless slaughter and doesn't want it to end so they actively try to sabotage our team at every turn.
At the end, if they want to end it for good, they can have the team undo the microverses and rid their universe of the zombie menace for good. Kill the survivor(s) or establish a solid alliance with the angel/devil. Have Willard sacrifice himself at some point to allow them to do the final step of the ritual and atone for the souls he sacrificed during the years, etc.
The themes of the maps can be a whole lot of other movies: from action hero movies a la Die Hard/Demolition Man, to movies where they're fighting "androids bent on killing humanity", to movies set in medieval times or Western-themed with a special pool of weapons to boot and a focus on melee with Zweihanders, Morningstars or, in the case of Western, Tomahawks and Bayonets. The very last map should be a WW2-themed movie to both tie up the story and also reference how the entire zombie mode started with a small part of the map referencing Nacht der Untoten either with a structure or with a movie poster of it.
Once again, the writers can easily do this and, if they learn from their mistakes and implement both a casual guided easter egg and hard easter egg and make them make sense contextually to what is happening in the maps, it can easily become one of the best zombie modes.
...and of course, players should be able to pack a punch right away and double pack a punch should be acquired half-way through the casual easter egg, and Wonder Weapons should be very powerful when unlocked and become overpowered (like the Thundergun, Apothecon Servant or Ray-gun MKII) when their full potential is unlocked after completing the hard easter egg.
Fire video keep making bangers for the Zombies comunity
If you thought that was good I highly implore you to check out my other reviews, each one gets progressively much better than this one
@@Stanley557 My first vid I watched was cold war and I've been watching on and off since then. Eather way I learn some stuff I don't know about theses games and get to look back on the good and the bad 👍🏻
I love how ur voice just changed from normally speaking to
*ｐａｒｔ 1 ｚｏｍｂｉｅｓ ｉｎｓｐａｃｅｊａｍ*
But this was a well thought out review and it made me feel like I was watching Mr Rizzo
Thank you Taco, being compared to Rizzo means a lot
To be completely fair (as fair as you can be with how awfully written BFB is) Beast actually *does* continue the Extinction storyline in the worst way possible;
Cliff-notes version:
Samantha Cross doesn’t end up double crossing humanity and tries to help them rebuild
The Medusa Device, instead of originally only affecting Cryptids in a certain radius, was retconned to affecting the entire planet, thus eradicating the threat
The planet BFB is set on (can’t be bothered to remember) is discovered to house Cryptids, and upon disembarking the shuttle, Samantha Cross and the other humans are eventually hunted and killed by the Cryptids (who were revealed to either have been truly aliens the whole time or just managed to somehow colonize other planets, can’t remember)
So in short, the impact of CIF Team 1’s sacrifice and Samantha’s presumed influence of the Cryptids didn’t matter, cause humanity got saved in the end and the entire team on the shuttle was eventually killed by *more* Cryptids
I havent watched this video yet, but I have just started your ww2 review so I have high expectations! Anyhow, I just hope you dont diss one of my favorite zombies too too much. Hope you grow your channel!!!!!!
Sorry brother my wwii Retrospective is ten times better than this one, a lot of my points aren't well argued and it was the first Retrospective I actually did. Appreciate the support though!
Its a testament to this game that I didnt know there was a 5th map until this video. And I obsess over all zombies modes in CoD. Even Exo Zombies I know the story to and about it, but for this one I guess my brain just turned off and didnt even find anything out until now.
I looked at the views and subs and I am suprised, this video was beautiful. The quality and length of the video is great. You deserve more subs
Well thanks my guy! I get that comment a lot but I just see it as I'm doing great job! Just spread the word and I get big I get big, and if I don't its whatever, just happy someone likes what I'm doing. That's all that matters 😌
Tbh Attack is fun as a casual map but awful for ee. But I totally agree what you say about the lighting
I remember this video after seeing a thing on reddit talkeding about this game overall, time to go rewatch this from 4-5 years ago when I watched it :D hopefully youhave been doing well
I have been, I made a ton of other good reviews too! Just finished a three and a half hour Cold War review
@@Stanley557 im already like a hour into it(I just do 2x speed on reviews usually unless its really juicy, dont judge me lmao, but that sounds great, time to watch some more of your vids, hopefully the watchtime/views/comments that I put here helps you at least get a decent follow base to help support you to do what you enjoy more ;)
my favorite part of IW zombies was when the timeline of tragedy was invented
10:32 DAMN that PDex impression is good 0-0
I feel u for sure. ZISL is the only ee I did on this game. Did it quads with someone who had DC unlocked. And some others. It was rediculous. But yes the storyline is so important.
This Zombies mode had so much potential. If you find IW in a bargain bin, it's worth it for Spaceland alone. The season pass for the rest? Not really
Let me elaborate. Season pass grants you access to the unlock method for Director's Cut as well as the other maps. Rave is good, so is Attack, Shuffle is only good for the first 20 rounds, and Beast from Beyond is irredeemable. All of the maps are fundamentally flawless in some critical way
I thought the lighting and colors on Attack were intentional in an attempt to capture the look of 50's B movies. I can understand why people don't like it, hell even I can admit it looks really bad in some areas, but I kinda like it. It just stands out to me when I think of unique map vibes.
I completely understand that viewpoint. Sadly I just feel the limitations of the engine the map was designed in hold it back. It would look probably much better in bo3 or cold war's engines
Bro I still think “he now relies on the courage and strength of his allies as much as they do his” is the perfect sum up for all of primus, by the end of their story they were loving brothers, and sadly, one of them had to know how it all ended, guess we’re glad it wasn’t Dempsey, considering anybody but Nikolai would’ve probably cracked under that pressure
i completely agree with the maps going down in quality over time, but i wish u covered the card system because even tho they are harder to get then gobblegums i still like them a lot. either way great video i really enjoyed it.
Glad you enjoyed it! The main reason I decided not to cover the card system is because I typically forgot about it during gameplay bar a few select steps like the acid step in Shaolin's boss fight. It is very well done but in all honestly I just forgot about it 😅
After BO2 it seems that this is the standard, they start running out of time in later DLCs and you can clearly see the drop in quality, content and bug testing. This is very clear in BO3, IW and BO4, not sure about AW and WW2 because i didn't buy their DLC yet (plan to do so), in CW they took the time to make DLC3 (mauer) better by trying something different in DLC2 (outbreak), reusing abandoned assets for other modes, and we don't talk about Vanguard.
@@Stanley557 Cards can make a night to day difference in the easter eggs if you know which to use, believe me they are a big deal! Maybe not as much as BO3 gobblegums but still
@@rexzombiesbrasil oh absolutely, but I really tried hard not to use them where possible. The only times I felt they were "required" was the acid pool step in shaolin and evade in the meph boss fight. Besides that it did make things harder but I felt it gave me a better idea of how the map was intended to be played
@@rexzombiesbrasil I can confirm AW got better but it wasn't much of a competition with its first two maps and WWII definitely got worse
Infinite Warfare's zombies is how I feel about Black Ops 4. I really wanted to like it as a whole, but it sorta consistently fell short, especially during the latter half of the map releases.
44:44 my idea for why Willard had a 180 in behaviour in the end of beast is because in the beginning (from the start of space land until the end of beast) he wanted them dead to appease methostofiles (which might explain his frustration with them escaping space land because he did not realize how strong the cast is while thinking that he might be punished with death for letting souls escape) but when the cast escaped beast he realized he might have a opportunity to beat him once and for all and end the suffering of everyone he had killed he’s just being forced to do this against his own will that is why I think he went all nice during the cutscene
Keep up the great work
47:32
actually your wrong, if i remember correctly, there's a tool tip stating that there's a large hold out in Europe, so technically the story isn't over
I woulf highly recommend you to upload this video again but by parts. I think that a series of videos (each one of each map) would recieve a lot of more views that a longer one. A shorter video has a better chance to appear in the recommendations page.
I really like your content and I woulf be happy if more people could access to it :D
I finished the video and it pisses me of the lack o views >>>:(((
Well thank you for the suggestion I hadn't yet thought of that and it might help!
I feel like the R-Rated Scooby Doo vibe IW had really makes it stand out uniquely from Treyarch and I wish IW had continued on that for a follow up game
Well put together
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
So when you were talking about the zombie spawn problem that was in bo4 at 14:46 I would like to mention that I'm pretty sure SoE has this problem usually when you're entering another district
I’ve watched this video countless times
It seems like ive found a little known gem
I remember thinking it just took place in a theme park and had nothing to do with it being a movie.
I wish you had gone over some of the glitches in these maps, some of them are off the chain! Seriously, some of the most broken glitches I've ever seen in Zombies.
The only glitches I mention in my rereviews were ones I personally encountered or ones I felt were helpful. Sadly I don't find the glitches in this game all too interesting
that pointdexter impression was spot on
Lol, glad you liked it!
9:02 (im typing as i watch) i would like to assume some of the missing story parts or "why these characters know what theyre doing" is because theyre in a movie. Yes i do understand that they were sacrificed into the movie compared to a studio set, but if its for a movie, there are probably magical cue cards directing them, or maybe they got scripts ahead of time before being sacrificed. If you look at the missing story elements as a movie, it makes more sense. Not the answer we want but it helps make sense
Not a bad theory but as far as I'm aware that isn't the case.
One of the best zombie games in my opinion, I still play it! Beast is the only difficult one and the worse by far. Terrible map
IW is one of my favorite zombies modes. It has its flaws, it very clearly does, but there are very well made maps underneath. Even though I don't agree with you, great video man, keep it up
Haha whats funny is I'm actually making a sequel review to my IW review where I go more in depth into these thoughts and how they've evolved over the past 2 years. I'll let you in on a little secret: I've come around to the game a lot more!
Super well done! Keep it up
Well if you liked this video I'd highly recommend my recent Advance Warfare Zombies Review!
@@Stanley557 im watching it as i type! Ive never played exos but ive been considering it recently
@@etangbose4755 well I'd recommend it, if you have friends
You're pretty good 👍 keep it up
Do I love your videos they're so good
Glad you enjoy them! They take a really long time to produce and it's cool that youtube is finally recommending my two favorite videos to viewers!
Stanley I have a genuine question, if you have Xbox and I get IW again can you help me get directors cut, never had the money as a kid with family issues to get them so I only know the steps to soaceland
Join my discord, the link is in the description of most of my newer videos. There's usually someone who wants to run and help through IW eggs
@@Stanley557 heck yes, I’m excited cuz I’ve never done any Easter egg except for final Reich casual quest like five years ago, and it glitched and I never got the achievement 💀
Rave mode gives you double points, which helps a lot without DC, especially with the double points power up
Edit: although the ee is super easy, it just helps get set up faster
Edit 2: Also Pam sucks on the solo boss fight against the rat king, I can never forgive her for watching me die
I didn't like any dlc maps on IW but maaan, Zombies in spaceland is like a top 3 favorite zombies map for me. I have about 140 hours in IW and at least half of that was exclusively in spaceland
Problem for me is that theres a few super op modifiers for few guns so it makes the first 30 rounds childs play. The easter eggs are all easy to do once you learn them but takes a lot of time to even understand. I still enjoy the game more than any newer release.
Oh and the story really sucks and makes no sense at all :D
7:15 well actually they are literally changed to fit the stereotype. for example in DLC 3 there are quotes that imply that they literally can't cuss. So in DLC 4 they express the relief of that no longer being the case. and with that same logic... well. everything kinda falls in place.
i know this is late but I really liked infinite warfare zombies, it was fun and unique. the story wasnt for everyone but I personally really liked it and would buy the game over again (on sale) to play zombies
Same
too be fair i always thought that if they made willard need specifically those 4 because they were able to beat the eggs something no one was able to do before them would explain why he switched up from wanting to kill them the excuse could of been since they won his soul was damned unless he teams up with them stop the devil or escape the pocket dimension’s something they can only do bc they beat the super ee
This game mode maybe could have been successful if it came out now due to how thirsty people are for a quality zombies experience. We were coming off of BO3 (widely considered the best CoD zombies of all time) so the community was definitely spoiled at the time. I definitely think the game had potential, but wasn’t willing to give it a chance back then
I really enjoyed the first 2 maps but skipped shaolin because I found it hard, I beat the Radioactive thing Easter egg after I bought it on my friends ps4 after a hangover but forgot about the last dlc map, I would actually like to see a continuation of this story, I think they tried way to hard to over complicate the maps just for the sake of making the EE's complicated, Spaceland and Rave were deep enough, they could've chilled out with the next 2 maps and just made something more like kino and buried. ( I have no clue how to fix the last map cuz I skipped it )
Loved this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@Stanley557 😇
Very well made video!
Glad you liked it! But quick question, do you enjoy Mob of the Dead?
@@Stanley557 maybe i do 😏
I just got iw from a friend and spaceland is now one of my favorite maps
awesome! you should watch my updated spaceland review!
I think Zombies in Spaceland can be a top 10 map of all time arguably, very enjoyable. However I don't think they should try to feel like a Treyarch map, because they aren't, they should be something different from that.
Is zombies in spaceland fiction in the zombies lore? Like, in terms of cod zombies, are the zombies on that map actors for a movie? I don't really get it since I haven't played infinite warfare.
I just got partway through the first part of the video and realized that was kind of answered.
Is this John's deleted IW review?
Obviously
I think you just saved me money idk how much. Glad I was skeptical from the beginning in 2016 when it released. Now sittin here wanting a new zombies experience and can see I’m not gettin it from infinite warfare. Hopefully advanced warfare is different.
You might wanna go watch that video oo to get my opinions on that too
@@Stanley557 no joke I’m watchin it right now I just got done with infection. And to be frank I think your savin me money there too. The constant emp screen glitch messes with my eyes and could cause a migraine. But I continue to watch to drill it in me to not buy for that and various other changes. I’m just gonna stick with wwll non 3arch zombies and 3arch zombies. Let’s pray 2024 is a great year.
37:49 I had no idea there was another dlc till 2 months after its launch 😭
As an extinction lover I hated how they brought back the cryptids like how tf does a little scout down you in 3 hits the cryptids were not faithful to extinction a rhino should be atleast a 2 hit down without jug and the "dog rounds" should've just been the scouts if they kept the 3 hit down
I got a cool idea they should’ve done with Willard.
He sold his soul to the devil for success and if he does not make a movie that requires sacrifices every 8 years he and everyone who watched his movies will be sent to hell so logically he would want to kill the cast but if they survive he would get worried about what happens therefore logically explaining why he wants them dead and then begs for their help at the end.
here i am in 2023 practicing my speed runs on Spaceland and watching this.
top tier essay
Lol I'm glad you like it, how is the speed run going so far
@Stanley557 haven't played since the launch of all the DLCs but got sick on Cold War so i just got back at it last week so warming up lol
@@a_boynamed_sir great to hear! Hope you get a good time!
mike hawk moment.
You just aren’t that good, these eastereggs are super easy and you compared it to gorod which is a lot harder then these eastereggs but still not hard
Also I have director's cut
YAAAAY
I’ve loved it so far, I’ve played and beat rave, shaolin, and not spaceland and haven’t want to play the others. Three good maps is enough for me to say it’s a good game
If you liked this review I'd highly recommend my ReReviews of spaceland Rave and shaolin. Came out of the rereviews with a much more positive experience
HELP: can somebody link the background music (personally i want to know the shaolin shuffle one the most) as i love these kind of songs. also love the video you just earned a subscriber :D
Glad you enjoyed the video! Any songs in particular you really enjoyed? Give me a time stamp and I'll tell you which song it is
@@Stanley557 the dream would be to know everyone but the shaolin shuffle one the most, 24:14
@@azurehazard5688 that is the wunderfizz jingle from Black Ops 4 titled Origins. If you'd like timestamp as many as you can!
@@Stanley557 can you link or name every background song or do you want time stamp for every song? (ps. its incredible you answered my comment, huge cred)
edit: 26:18 was the song i was wondering the first time but i misstyped :(
@@azurehazard5688 yeah I can in a bit but for the one you time stamped, it's "this Jazz is Classified" it is the theme used in the intro cutscene for the Black Ops 4 map Classified
This is what I am attempting on xbox at the moment, hard going at though
10:47 that’s one of poindedters quotes 😂
Very good review, enjoyed every minute. I'm really disappointed that we didnt get a sequel as I really loved the characters and story but they could have used more depth. Also loved the themes on the maps, specifically spaceland, rave and attack.
Hey glad you enjoyed the review! And I agree, the theming of Spaceland is still one of the map's best feature
Overall I think this was a decent review. However, I do think there was too much of a preference on the EEs. IW doesn't have the greatest Easter Eggs sure but that shouldn't be the only factor used to determine the quality of the map. You actually acknowledged some aspects that weren't the EE (The powerups criticism was a great point) and directly told us that your preference was to repeat the EEs. But I do still think there was too much attention on the EE side of things. Although, that might just be me being biased because I love IW zombies.
This was my first review and it's probably the most amateur, I agree with you that I spend way too much time on the main quests, this is slowly rectified with each continuing review as I get better at analyzing these games.
I'd highly recommend my AW, WWII, and IX reviews. They get better over time and I'm currently almost done with a 3 hour Cold War review that is easily my best yet.
Tip. You get more money when you use the rave mode on redwoods
Yes indeed, I was informed of this later on by a friend
Shaolin shuffle is one of the best zombies maps ever made
44:30 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
And up next subway sandwich the funniest part of the video
Its sad because he said that it takes skill to defeat the brute but I can 2 or 3 shot it with a paped m1 with the yellow arcane core element
:(
Welp time to redo the entire review
Dude directors cut is the best
comparing radioactive thing to dead of the night honestly feels like an insult, dead may be a very fetchquesty map, but it's got so much over radioactive thing. 1. it looks better, 2. it's layout is leags better, 3. it's characters are far more likable, 4. and most of the items while yes fetchquestly, feel so much more beneficial and worth getting
That's all very fair critisms, it simply me reminded of dead of the nights' gameplay but not its personality, character or fidelity which are all top notch
it wouldve been a better idea for the slasher in rave to spawn in wether or not you use rave mode
that way theres no consequense for using it
After round 8 with no Jugg and you can burn a whole clip on just two zombies.
We need IW2 zombies even if it's not part of the IW series...
I think IW zombies is super underrated, so much better than cold war. Loved it.
