  • Call of Duty Zombies has always been a mode with lots of promise, and lots of disappointment. What went wrong with the latest map for Call of Duty Zombies, and is there any hope for the future?

    RE crashing and losing gobblegums.... This is exactly what I experienced attempting the Terminus fight, and I've basically lost interest trying to complete the main quests because of using all of them on games that I crashed and lost those powerups during.

    I disagree with saying that MWZ didn’t grow the player base. The people that played MWZ were not your typical zombies players. Older zombies players didn’t play it. The entire fan base for MWZ was mostly new. They also don’t cross over well. MWZ players don’t want round based, round based doesn’t want MWZ style.

    I dislike the map but bragilegas or however you spell it's name. Is the reason why we still have that elite enemy cause if you have 2 or more of gas they fuse to make that stupid elite enemy. Which sucks cause that means if you get 1 you get them all. You get vermin now you got gas then elite zombie. So we're fucked unless they remove vermin/parasite from any future maps. Which they won't. Sorry I'm typing and running around at the same time.

    What are you actually talking about? The map is visually stunning. Not just spawn and the dark aether. The blood ritual being hard is what is great. If youre not good at the game dont get gold armour. Im so tired of people wanting everything to be easy to complete. Look at where that got us. Ee sucks now, everything is pointed out to us, no pap quests etc... i hate the current state of the community crying about shit being too difficult. I agree about the absence of an intro cutscene and reused enemies. Thats super wack and feels hella rushed. But we dont need to complain about good things, seriously

    • @GeekyPastimes
      @GeekyPastimes  9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I don't think it's visually stunning compared to the BO4 Chaos maps, I guess maybe it looks better than most of the BOCW maps (other than Mauer).
      I think you're confusing people complaining about difficulty with people complaining about cheap difficulty. I love Destiny Raids which often taken hours and hours to complete and need 6 people working together and communicating, that's difficult but rewarding.
      Enemies that can one shot you, bullet sponges and arbitrarily deciding some weapons are just completely unviable isn't rewarding or interesting, it's just putting a boring roadblock in your way to make it more likely that you'll have to try the whole thing again. I think the boss took me four attempts to complete it, and the blood ritual took me three attempts, and the thing that changed wasn't me getting better at a fight, it was just 'use the ASG and maybe a gobblegum and now it's easy'.

    BO4 happened which was just weird remasters and then the reboots made it somehow worse since maps are made by AI.

      @GeekyPastimes  9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      BO4 definitely wasn't just remasters. The Chaos maps were some of the most creative maps we've had ever in zombies. Voyage, XI, DOTN, Ancient Evil were all amazing.

    This zombies instalment is a powerfantasy for campers. Sit in a corner and press a button every 5 seconds and get to round infinity doing that. I can give the controller to my geriatric grandmother and she will be able to do the high rounds. Its unfun, unchallenging, unexciting and just boring. The worst thing is, after round 40 you have to camp in a corner because the zombies run at mach 3 and slap you down while your are sprinting away. The game is flawed. It sucks

    • @GeekyPastimes
      @GeekyPastimes  9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      To be fair, that's what people were doing in the early maps too. Most of 'skill' in zombies when it comes to high rounds is just learning exploits.

    Lose the long drawn out unintuitive main easter eggs. They make no sense. They have a ridiculous number of steps you will never find yourself and will never remember unless you sit playing with a YT video on pause. Its basically, watch the Rofflewaffles or Dalek video and copy it. Directed allows you to do it without watching and pausing videos but has no side quests and lesser or different rewards meaning no completion and a feeling of not wanting to bother in the first place.

    Reusing enemies is great for storytelling. It has payed off in this map by using them all. The ice staff is amazing and it opens the door to getting all the staff variants later on. You aren't destroying the artifact you are cleansing it. I don't engage with world's first, I go radio silent and love exploring the map myself. Respin cycle works with Wonderbar. I buy gobblegums as I want to support the idea that zombies can bring value monetarily wise. I love this map and the challenge is refreshing. Richthofen's Mansion is going to be awesome. Can't wait

      This is what I mean about people inside the community overestimating how big the playerbase is. Try looking at Twitch right now at how many zombies streams/viewers there are compared to multiplayer, or Warzone.
      But yeah I play zombies, got a World's First on the team with NoahJ456 and CodeNamePizza in Cold War and have streamed and made guides for every map since then on launch night - have the zombies mastery camo for BOCW and BO6 too.

      @ twitch viewership though isn’t based on how many people are playing the mode though, and tbh the only time I’ve ever watch any twitch streams on zombies is only when the Easter egg is coming out. Mp and warzone have been on decline for idk how long now. And same I’ve been playing since waw zombies and I just think that if it wasn’t for zombies in bo6 a lot of people wouldn’t be playing the game. I see more TH-cam videos on zombies then mp and warzone combined and I play all modes personally but I just think that if it wasn’t for zombies Bo6 would already been way down the drain.

There’s a reason every single call of duty puts it in their game now even if it’s bad it’s because they know there’s a big zombies community that will only play for zombies. I wouldn’t have bought vanguard or AW back when they came out if it wasn’t for them having a zombies mode and there’s plenty of people that feel the same and they weren’t even that good but they got us to buy the games which is what they want every year now.

Each game you had huge choices you could make as to how you wanted to play!!! If they had actually properly supported it the possibilities were endless!
