I’ve been watching through all your zombie videos since BOPs 6 came out. Thanks so much to enlightening me and the entertainment. I’m 31 and played a lot of zombies with friends growing up but never really engaged with the Easter eggs. Took awhile off of COD and zombies for the most part of the last 7-8 years and after doing the Easter eggs in both BOPs 6 maps, I plan on going back and doing them all on the BOPs 3 remake maps. Your videos have a lot to do with me deciding that!
I still remember watching Achievement Hunter doing Vault of Glass for the first time, and Ray “Brownman” Narvaez sarcastically quipping “Man I’m so glad they took the CoD Zombies approach to puzzle mechanics, makes this so easy to do”.
Trivia Time: Despite having a lot of Na*i references and half of the maps being named in German, we Germans wouldn't be blessed with the zombie mode until Black Ops. World at War was simply left an inferior product in the realm of Germany and easter eggs were harder to pull off for a long time due to us not being able to destroy body parts and leaving a crawler. The reason was, you guessed correctly, protection laws. Especially when it comes to any kind of zombie game, chances are they never made it to Germany in the first place (Left for Dead, Dying Light) or were heavily toned down, sometimes even in the gameplay department. No, German adults are not allowed to make their own choices, we are allowed to work as a zombie until we die and resurrect from our graves as zombies.
I' m really sorry for you about that even though there are way more important things in life, that first hand first time world at war experience back in 2008 is an unmatched thing nothing has ever replicated that for me and truly a loss to miss that so more power to you
This was my first Easter egg that I did with my cousin back in 2011. It took us so long that we had to leave the ps3 on and get some sun light and come back to it later. One of my fave maps of all time and this really unlocks some core memories. Treyarch really went hard with these Easter eggs back in the day
From destiny 2, to helldivers, and now cod zombies and various things. I really appreciate context creators when they don't shy away from trying different things
Thanks for putting the clips in when talking about the actors, im bad with names. Didnt know the girl was Daphne from scooby doo, until now. Keep up the great work
People are never going to be as satisfied with zombies or am Easter egg for that fact because we're all fresh and we were all expiring it for the first time which created the magic. Its the same as destiny and most other games as a matter of fact we have been playing for grinding for so long and we have experienced the spine tingling new parts of all the missions and it just dulls down over time... Everything and I mean everything we had been experienced and so to get that feeling it falls on nostalgia and you can only do that for so long
I am so glad you have gone back to doing zombies videos! I played so much destiny and loved your videos and right as I moved back into zombies you started covering them! Very cool!
Meatwagon and guns4hire are the creators of YOUALWAYSWIN. They are as far as i know the only active members of the original NGT still actively around on the internet.
I remember in those days getting on TH-cam every 15 mins to see NGT post another step. The 20+ hour livestreams occupied mine and brother's lives for a while
I believe the BO4 Aether maps were more "reimagined" than "remastered" due to them having a different story, cast, and atmosphere than the originals. Even Classified which strayed the least from the original map, Five, felt completely different, although that might be for reasons than just story, cast and atmosphere, most notably the art style difference between BO1 and BO4. (When I mention atmosphere, I mean the actual atmosphere: time of day, weather conditions, and lighting. Just wanted to point that out because I feel as though some people might misinterpret art style as the atmosphere. And although the art style can have an effect on the atmosphere, they are both different characteristics of a map/setting).
I only knew Spiderbite and Axel (I could be wrong on the Axel name). Too bad they broke up years ago. Last i heard there was a marriage issue with Spiderbite and problems between 2 of the people from that group, a combo of both broke it all to peices but hope they return for BO6 it wouldnt be the same without them!
I'm 89% sure George was hidden instead of despawned because the particle effects for him were pretty advanced for the time, and needed to be always rendered so the player didn't lag when he spawned.
I'll say it again shout out to the friend who had to do the lighthouse dials every time that was me and my group. I want to see how many others were like me
One of my greatest memories of this map was joining radaustin27 on a live stream with 2 others who knew the easter egg and running him through the egg in like 20 minutes
This does make me slightly emotional. Home from school to play with your friends that you’ve spent all day with/talking about what maps you’ll be playing and just chilling out at high rounds - a time long lost🫡
Bro that song is way more than a jam…. That shit is a zombies fucking masterpiece…. Bro the break down with the zombies loading screen piano music……. Than metal!!!! I legitimately busted a nut as a kid listening to that song…
this is a very nitpick thing evan, but i'd consider your friends telling you at the lunch table about even a raygun every time glitch being very believable in black ops 1 days. looking back on it now, yes, jimmy's easter eggs were so random and wacky but this directly fed into the atmosphere that black ops 1 zombies held. you were willing to at least try everything anyone told you is a thing back in BO1. case and point, jimbothy, although he really took off during BO2 zombies' cycle
really enjoying the zombies content btw. i love reliving these points in time through retrospectives like this and i still always watch even if i know everything that's going to be said while saying it aloud myself lol
This might get buried in comments but i do know Axel (from the second ngt team) still streams under the name Akitaka Tsuya. Most doing ffxiv stuff though, he might be down for an interview tho
Be interesting to see the video on buried. My team assembled from TTG 6 months before actually had what we though was worlds first. We absolutely beat NGT for a fact as spiderbite was messaging asking how we had figured out the puzzle on the roof opposite the saloon (Can't even remember what it was lol). After saying we wouldn't share tips (as he was apparently messaging lots of small streamers) he blocked us all haha
6:10 what happened here? i saw that player get launched by the machine then he paused mid air before he hit the ground & there was a lightbulb looking thing by the character & then it disappeared & the player fell
Where does this Easter Egg rank amongst the others in Black Ops 1? 🧐
For casual players, it's n°1 maybe but for a competitive player it's the lowest maybe :o
I remember guns for hire he still is on a channel called. You always win.
I remember barely missing world first shangri la :( our team was like 3rd
oh wow! We have a video coming out about that race soon :)
legend. i tried at worlds first from origins all the way to revelations and i could never get close. mad props to you for being able to get 3rd.
You’re a true soldier🫡 and a OG
+ RESPECT
You were probably cheated my man so yous probably were legit first😂😢
I remember NGT and the original crew: SpiderBite, Meatwagon, TheOnlyBentley, and Hypermole before everyone left.
That hits the soul right there brother
@@current3109 those were the days.
dayum
Gunns4Hire and Meatwagon still do youtube videos as YouAlwaysWin last i saw
@@lillysoftpaws2716 i knew those names sounded familiar

I’m the exact same bud! It’s great to get back into it
I still remember watching Achievement Hunter doing Vault of Glass for the first time, and Ray “Brownman” Narvaez sarcastically quipping “Man I’m so glad they took the CoD Zombies approach to puzzle mechanics, makes this so easy to do”.
Two great classics
We miss ray they were way ahead of their time still watch to this day
I remember being 6 playing Call of The Dead for the first time ever. A7X really killed the ee song. Best one in all of zombies imo. The memories 🥲
loving the zombie stuff keep it up man

Thank you for bringing back so much nostalgia and good memories with my friends when I was a wee little lad in school :)
From destiny 2, to helldivers, and now cod zombies and various things. I really appreciate context creators when they don't shy away from trying different things
Found your channel from reels and want to say thanks for the time/work& keep up the great content 🤘🏼
Thank you for the kind words!
I’m so glad your doing zombies content, my favourite content creator and my favourite game
Thanks for putting the clips in when talking about the actors, im bad with names. Didnt know the girl was Daphne from scooby doo, until now.
Keep up the great work
Bro NextGenTactics was my childhood 😭
love this style of content for cod zombies

I was always the guy who was too freaked out by zombies to do Easter eggs
I am so glad you have gone back to doing zombies videos! I played so much destiny and loved your videos and right as I moved back into zombies you started covering them! Very cool!
Meatwagon and guns4hire are the creators of YOUALWAYSWIN. They are as far as i know the only active members of the original NGT still actively around on the internet.
My fav BO1 map and my top 5. The nostalgia I have for this map...
What are the other four??
24:00 imagine not getting worlds first bc you didn’t see the 3 pixels vaguely in a number shape in various locations
Dude, for real. That's absurdly difficult to see.
Next gen tactics and map monkeys were so useful for zombies back then
I loves these old black ops 1 story vids ty
These videos are so underrated! Keep up the good work
Having been around the scene when this all occurred, to now seeing videos documenting it like it’s important history is amazing 😂
I thought Takeo exploded lol. that puking noise is wild
The good old days. When Easter eggs weren't data mined on day one.
I remember in those days getting on TH-cam every 15 mins to see NGT post another step. The 20+ hour livestreams occupied mine and brother's lives for a while
Love the nostalgia of these videos
NGTZombies owner Spiderbite was from Canada

I think youtuber Gunsforhire and Meatwagon22 were apart of NGT back then?? or they came later on
Yea I remember spider and meat wagon had a falling out of some kind and shortly after ngt called it quits.
I think meatwagon was later around moon. Spiderbite was here
I only knew Spiderbite and Axel (I could be wrong on the Axel name). Too bad they broke up years ago. Last i heard there was a marriage issue with Spiderbite and problems between 2 of the people from that group, a combo of both broke it all to peices but hope they return for BO6 it wouldnt be the same without them!
Wow a zombie fan too? This why Evan is my goat
I never knew how far these easter eggs went. I thought the song was the main reward, crazy the level of detail treyarch put into zombies
Wow crazy that Telixion actually got it first
Even getting to round 10 and jugger nog is hard enough I LOVE IT
I'm 89% sure George was hidden instead of despawned because the particle effects for him were pretty advanced for the time, and needed to be always rendered so the player didn't lag when he spawned.
spider was live a little while ago talking about starting stuff for members and sounded like he was coming back to youtube. that didint last long

us spanish people are something else and we get no recognition cudos to you bro and putting us on
Man I remember doing this Easter egg with my buddy Tyler in jr high right after it came out only convoluted one I have done
finally someone acknowledged George death
This was a great watch
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Was this video not allready on ur 2nd Chanel evanexplains? But still a good Video in Love it. Thanks for all ur work.❤
Bro that song is way more than a jam….
That shit is a zombies fucking masterpiece…. Bro the break down with the zombies loading screen piano music…….
Than metal!!!!
I legitimately busted a nut as a kid listening to that song…
Loving the zombies content
I miss watching spiderbite and hypermole play custom maps doing the Easter eggs
Takeo was GOIN through it
VR-11 is now in Modern Warfare 3 zombies (MWZ)
A7x was so good in classic zombies
18:46 what does he mean by May 3rd again? Was there a whole year between egg steps or what did I miss
I am hooked more more more
Danny Trejo played on some vampire movie with George Clooney I think.
They did tag der toten, not really a true remaster but it’s there
28:34 four don’t forget about the ray gun
Man they don't make Easter eggs as good this anymore
this is a very nitpick thing evan, but i'd consider your friends telling you at the lunch table about even a raygun every time glitch being very believable in black ops 1 days. looking back on it now, yes, jimmy's easter eggs were so random and wacky but this directly fed into the atmosphere that black ops 1 zombies held. you were willing to at least try everything anyone told you is a thing back in BO1. case and point, jimbothy, although he really took off during BO2 zombies' cycle

Zoo was my fav map!!!

yes, if you start the easter egg then kill george he drops the wunderwaffe, used to do this all the time when I was a kid.
I love the old Richtofen
I love zombies videos
6:10 what happened here? i saw that player get launched by the machine then he paused mid air before he hit the ground & there was a lightbulb looking thing by the character & then it disappeared & the player fell
Lol, its when you pause in bo1 you have a bulb appear overhead
Also top 3 maps of all time…
Under 1 minute gang🎉
Spiderbite sometimes answers on twitter.
Man gamers were eating *well* back then, what the hell happened.
Vr11 came back though
I know the Spanish voice and if you've never heard him yell in three languages you haven't lived js
RIP DESTINY
I don't think they remaster die rise
THATS....NOT....A....LEAVER
Like if you want to _Golden_ your *Rod* 😏
Just shave it brother
Bro Tag _is_ a CotD remaster.
