Forsaken - Cold War Zombies Review Series
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ก.ค. 2024
- After Mauer Der Toten won back a lot of the community that ran for the hills due to Treyarch's focus on Outbreak, we were all looking forward to another great round-based experience! And if you were actually paying attention to the story, you were probably just as curious as I was to see just how this would all wrap up! So, was Forsaken able to live up to the lofty expectations of a season of constant bangers? Or did it crumble due to outside interference? Let's discuss!

Finally got this one done!
I hope you're all having a wonderful day and enjoyed the video!
you too man! thanks for all the videos so far
Hi
Halfway through it rn and it's great! Hope you're recovering well
Thanks papa Rizzo you always make the best reviews
Great job on the graphics for WW
With the benefit of hindsight, Alone actually foreshadows a lot of Zykov's arc in Forsaken. Lines such as "Martyr that we made dies in vain" talk about his sacrifice to create a better world meaning nothing.
As usual, tbh, Kevin Sherwood is such a great writer.
Too bad he only wrote one song entirely, and half-wrote Lost in this.
Idk what's going on, but it's just depressing tbh.
I guess he did even better since he defeated the demon gods and now that he’s dead the known Dark Aether isn’t under someone’s control unless Maxis is back to old habits
Dude, I read this, thought "it's only that one line" sang the song, got chills tf
The fact that there was no “GIVE ME A MOMENT TO EXPLAIN” when Rizzo said he liked Vanguard caught me off guard ngl. I said it out loud expecting it
@SuperFly fucking auto correct
LMAOOO That would’ve been so funny
Because he has a bad taste in what's good or not. Billion dollar companies making below average games is always bad. He's seems to constantly shill and give them a pass
@@CoolHandLuke196 Be mad he likes something you don't lol.
You act like he is PrestigeIsKey or something. He legit did state that while he likes Vanguard he admitted the flaws in the lack of content in zombies
@@goldentoparican788 dude you must have quite a low standard if you like vanguard zombies
Glad to hear you’re feeling better after surgery!
What happened
What happened
@@nicocharlon4450 he had a severe cartilage degeneration
Holy shit
At least with Forsaken we got more Maxis X Grey shipping material. But I'm very disappointed that Peck didn't finally confess his tsundere love to Weaver.
We're getting a continuation, so there's still hope.
I feel bad for Weaver all his children are imprisoned with the oldest one trapped in the dark aether
But that would make lgbtq couples 😬😬😬😬
@@potatoman7037and? Don’t be a loser homophobe lil bro
One thing I really like is "Samantha's Ballad" it's probably my favorite version of her Lullaby only beaten by "Remember Forever" (Seriously that's probably like the best song in all of zombies) It just sounds really nice and is a bittersweet send of for Sam (Until we inevitably see her again) Also the similarities to Buried's guitar and overall sound make me highly suspicious were not done with Victis. There's been Victis related stuff kinda peppered through the whole game in subtle ways and the Classified radio that implies they're alive in the Dark Aether just makes me think they're going to do something with them.
It would be interesting to see how Victis manages to pull through, especially since they've been in the Dark Aether for 20 years (If we are to believe that Tag Der Toten takes place in the 60's) and somehow haven't been corrupted by the elements.
@@ItsYaBoiBigBozo Personally I think that Victis has one of the highest chances of surviving the Dark Aether. It’s pretty simple actually. There’s 4 of them, that means that unlike many others in the Dark Aether they aren’t alone. They’ve also worked together and know each other, and while they’ve bickered in the past, it’s very clear they are a team and do care for one another. Zykov went insane due to his hatred of humanity and also the fact he was basically completely on his own. Sam had a really rough time because she was also alone. However Victis is a group in Zombies lore that have an actual NAME for their crew. The others being Ultimis and Primis. This means that they are a VERY big deal. They are no longer just simple survivors, they are important to the overall universe and Aether itself. This is why I think they’d be able to survive for even 20 years. They have teamwork, and history together. It’s very likely they will be severely effected by now but I don’t believe they would be on the level of The Forsaken. I think they would be near gods but still human. But that’s really just my head cannon, we won’t know for awhile assuming they even come back at all. However I really do think we’ll see them again, especially considering all the hints we’ve gotten.
@@VivyTheHuntress Oh man, I haven't been interested in zombies in a long time. Since Victis was able to survive the comically apocalyptic conditions of Bo2 Earth, I think they'd be fine in the Dark Aether.
@@VivyTheHuntress In that case, it'll be nice if they come back to the story as an actual crew and not as tools to further Requim's or Omega's plans. But who knows, because I don't see any plausible reason for them to come back at this time.
Classified has a victis radio? I can't seem to find it
The worst thing about this map imo is that it flows into a prequel.
The ending is amazing, but why do we immediately go "ok now we need learn about this thing that was mentioned in intel once and happened 40 years earlier " instead of progressing with the story that's currently going on with peck and the remnants of requiem.
I wish sledgehammer just got to tell their own story, because it feels jarring for the story to finally get some big momentum only to take 30 steps back and not even have an easter egg. We're just expected to be invested in a new story despite the fact we just got invested in one. I understand they're trying to expand the world by introducing the elder gods, but if you removed the mentions of aether i genuinely wouldn't know they were connected story-wise. I thought vanguard would tell us the background of Eddie (kinda how cold war told how the background of Sam through intel) however so far there's no signs of that happening
TLDR: persona 5 invented jazz music
The reason why we’re getting a prequel now is because activision wants to milk ww2 for the millionth time again and the developers have to work with what little their given
Tbh, they could've done the segway perfectly if vanguard took place in that location peck mentioned at the end of forsaken, and vanguard's launch map was just some ww2 era Pacific themed map
I guess it’s to add a delay it’s better than going straight into the continuation
I feel like Vanguard adds to Cold War’s lore a little bit, it’s like a breather before the next stage. It gives us a reason why Zykov/ The Forsaken couldn’t return at first, and gives us a landscape that he might’ve just arrived in.
@@TheStoryTeller17
But that's the issue. It's a "little bit" and not a lot.
We already know how the events are going to play out, Cold War explained itself perfectly.
Vanguard just brought in a group of random characters that'll either be dead or irrelevant by the end; introduced a throwaway villain who we *KNOW* isn't the main villain and mentioned "Oh, by the way this takes place in the Dark Aether". Like yeah, no shit, we know all this. Cold War explained why Zykov couldn't come back. The door to the Endstation was welded shut; and he became trapped in the DA when the Atom-Smasher collapsed.
It's just like how Infinity Ward decided to shit on the legacy of Extinction by tying it into Infinite Warfare Zombies.
We know that none of the characters in Vanguard are going to make it, but I'd be happy to admit I'm wrong if they do. Yet... Nothing was made apparent that any of them would in Cold War.
2 things.
1. Good to hear you're recovering from your surgery.
2. After playing all the maps and complete all the easter eggs, Cold War Zombies is my favorite mode, alongside Black Ops 3 Zombies
Forsaken is my favorite map in the game, the chaos is where im at home and the map layout makes it feel like Omega was rushing to make the Amplifier and bring Zykov over that they couldn't convert the facility so to move resources around they made a teleporter grid, and the ziplines were set up by Omega Agents and Spetznaz on site while they were fighting zombies before Requiem showed up
Some thoughts and opinions:
- The map's layout is pretty wonky at times, especially with respect to some of the doors. You need to buy the zipline to get over the gate which separates the checkpoint and Main St, but the gate opens up once you turn on the power so there's hardly a reason to ever use that zipline again. Same thing goes with the bar, I often forget that those doors are even there. The bar is just this awkward structure which doesn't connect to anything and you have no reason to go there unless you're doing side easter eggs.
- The Chrysalax is incredibly powerful, but I think it's maybe a little too powerful. The axe mode cuts through regular and special enemies alike and constantly regenerates health and armor. It trivializes any sense of challenge the map has.
- As someone who likes zombie training, I can't say I have as much of a problem with the map's flow. It's pretty simple if you think of the map as one big ring: spawn goes to Main St, Main St goes to Anytown, Anytown goes to the bunker, the bunker goes to the tower, and the tower goes back to spawn, with fast travel ziplines to Anytown and Main St.
- And speaking of training, this map has lots of fun semi-open spaces to do so along with lots of chokepoints for the Toxic Growth players. I also find it funny how this map has a lot more verticality than Mauer, with lots of rooftops and catwalks to take advantage of PHD Slider.
- I personally really liked how Forsaken handles special enemy spawns and thought it was a big step up from Mauer's non-stop Disciple, Krasniy and Tormentor spam.
- Just a nitpick, but I don't like how the Ronald Raygun pizza delivery easter egg requires Aether Shroud. I'm fine with easter eggs requiring certain upgrades like requiring dead wire and PHD to activate arcade machines, but if you're a solo player you just can't do this easter egg at all of you didn't choose one specific field upgrade.
- It's neat that each of the main 3 arcade machines gives a different kind of reward. If you need a powerful gun fast, play Der Eisendrache. If you need points, Enduro. And if you need salvage, play Nacht.
Overall, somehow I end up really enjoying this map. Maybe I just like it's inherent jankiness and how it puts a new spin on this location. It feels like if Treyarch themselves made a BO3 custom zombies map, but in a good way.
You can change your WAND mid game, just swap load outs and while it will reset your WAND to 0, you're golden otherwise.
This is just about what I think of this map as well. I really enjoy the playhouse design that it clearly had in mind, wanting to accommodate just having fun over all else and the amount of different ways to play, but it clearly was a bit janky in it's execution. Still, I really like this map, and it might be my favorite CW map.
Personally, I don’t feel the same issues in terms of map design/flow and, especially, lack of personality. I do agree with you, when playing this map I feel more like “im playing a RedLight, green light reskin” rather than “oh wow what a dope ass zombies map!”, but honestly? I’ve been such a fan of that campaign mission im just really happy I feel like im playing it again but in a zombies context.
But that’s just me.
Overall, I couldn’t have been more satisfied with the final round based offering, considering the overall context. I really feel bad for Treyarch
This. I never played the campaign. I love this layout and imo this map has the best personality
@@dirtydeeds7371 It would’ve def been a lot better if it had a better Easter egg, a bit better flow, a better map design, more personality on par with Mauer and less specials, would’ve beaten Mauer and People would place it as a top 10 map maybe, and a great DLC4
Maybe it's because, as Rizzo said in older videos, he doesn't like zombie training. If you do train, this map has some great spots.
We had a whole zombies campaign in BO3 where campaign missions were converted to zombies missions. It was just a throwaway mode most people didn’t play and now just one campaign map conversion is considered the final round based DLC. How could you not be underwhelmed?
@@Gee3Oh uhm… maybe because I actually like the thing??? I don’t know it seems very much self-explanatory to me
I want a clip of Kravchenko actually pummeling Peck with his slap
With all the horror stories we've been hearing from people working at Activision, the genuine abuse happening from Kotick and Friends over there, I'm frankly surprised Forsaken was PLAYABLE. I really liked the map personally, but to each his own. Sadly, Vanguard shows the scars from this abuse loud and clear. Good thing we do indeed have BO3 custom maps...we're gonna need 'em.
I thought that the issues that are happening right now comes from the Activision blizzard side of the company. Don't get me wrong treyarch have been crunched a bunch since bo4 but I heard nothing nor seen any issues that were extreme as blizzard's side
Just had major surgery and you’re still making better content than any most other zombie creators. (Really every other creator at this point!) Glad you’re doing okay though!! Take a longer recovery break if you want!!!! Seriously!!
Forsaken is a weird map for me. I’ve been really out of it with Cold War (although that’s been a downward trend since Zetsubo came out). Forsaken has been the first map I’ve really enjoyed, despite its flaws. Can’t quiet out my finger on why though... it’s just felt refreshing to play, even if I have to jump through 40 teleporters to play it!
That's exactly how I feel! I can see some flaws but for some reason I feel like it's top tier in cold war
I have no idea what's in store for Vanguard's story and content, but if you did reviews of its maps after its year is done, I'd love to see it. Great review, keep at it
Despite how insanely overworked Treyarch is, they still managed to do us good with this game. Mauer was one of the best zombies maps in a LONG time and Forsaken, even with it's weird flow (death perception at the spawn room kind of alliviates this) is still tons of fun with its side and main easter eggs. My only complaint is that some of the resources that went into Outbreak could've been spent in round based maps, but still a very solid game overall.
Best map since ancient evil isn’t really hard
Rizzo, youre one of my favorite zombies youtubers. Your work is incredible and actually truly inspiring. You do you bro!
The thing I love about the Crystalax, which idc if I spelled it wrong, is that it's a fun and powerful melee weapon. Like my favorite map in WW2, the Shattered Throne, the melee weapons had powers that made it more fun to use instead of the knife from CW for example.
5:40 Adler rock
Thank you so much for amount of fun and awesome reviews on the cold war zombies maps. All were made super well and amazing cant wait to see what else you can do with your amazing work and talent. Dont change your videos because people tell you. Do what you are excited to do. I'll be by you every step of the way. Thanks Dad
Yet another high quality review. I enjoy every review you upload, no matter how long it take for them to release. Keep it up.
Thank you Rizzo for the absolute banger of videos this year it has been a pleasure seeing how positive your community is. Remember be good people
Loved it as always. Happy to hear you're doing better after your surgery. Looking forward to the rest of your reviews
There should have been Cold War year 2 instead of vanguard
Your reviews are great and getting that cinematic footage of the maps in cold war was spot on. Keep it up 👍.
I feel honoured to have helped nab some footage for you buddy! Amazing turn out for the review. Looking forward to your wrap up!
Man, the sheer amount of detail in all your videos always amazes! I liked Forsaken, but I think that was predominantly due to the amazing Chrysalax and the conclusion of this chapter of the Dark Aether story, so I'm totally with you about the flow and design of the map. Anyway, thanks for another amazing review, and I'm excited to hear what you've got to say about Outbreak, as I really like it, too! Hope your knee is better post surgery, and that it allows you to walk again without pain! Have a good one!
I love the amount of work you put into your video. Made me miss playing zombies with my friends. Damn those were such good days. I miss friends...
Great video as always rizzo, I definitely agree with you with the whole map flow thing, but it was a bit hard to put this problem into my own words, however you explained it very well. Cant wait for the Alpha Omega and Outbreak review.
I'm glad you brought up the special enemy problem, having almost all of them here makes the map feel less unique and going by the previous times you complained and developers listened... I'm hopeful that they'll listen again before they completely move away from Cold War. And great video as always well done
Hope you're recovering from your surgery Rizzo! You've provided me entertaining content for years now which is crazy to think about, love the contents evolution
Great video and analysis as usual, this definitely made my day.
So what you’re saying is they retconned Richthofen into being straight and sam into being gay
Strange choice but alright
Been quite the year with this zombies experience, i again appreciate you being so respectable with your criticisms and being open minded with this zombies experience, because most zombies fans seem to either dimiss or blindly praise this years mode, and its always good to see how you've grown/matured since your older days.
Keep it up man, hopefully Vanguard will give you enough content at the end of cycle to keep this gravy train rolling.
Amazing video Rizzo, and I hope you have a speedy recovery. That said, I was curious if you ever thought of doing sort of a "re-written" version of your past videos? Similar to how James on his Dead Meat channel is doing re-counts of all his past horror franchises, but with more facts and a much more polished visual. I would personally love for you to revist your Bo3 retrospective. Other than that, good luck on your future projects and stay safe my friend!
Nice video, I agree with most points and I respect your opinions, keep the good content coming and good luck with your surgery recovery
I can't tell you how ready I was for this video. I hope you're better rizzo. Get well soon. Much love ❤.
20:56 I like to think it's on purpose because of how big the facility is, kinda gives it a "lived in feeling" even though in canon the facility wasn't used much after the campaign mission. I don't like the boss spam it has though... that sucks. Great video by the way, well worth the wait
I was annoyed you haven’t uploaded this yet but now I understand, hope your recovery was smooth G
YES THE EYE NITPICK MADE IT IN! I remember complaining about that to you awhile ago.
It's genuinely such a shame to see so much potential wasted due to Activision's greed, but despite all that huge props to Treyarch for breathing fresh life into zombies, with Die Maschine as, in my opinion, the perfect launch map, Firebase Z which may have been a slightly underwhelming follow-up, however still has many good things about it, Outbreak which offered a new take on the zombies formula for people who were slightly tired of round-based with many new and cool ideas, Mauer as an all-around amazing map and probably the best of Cold War with amazing aesthetics, gameplay etc. and Foresaken, which while perhaps being a slight step back from Mauer, offered a good and satisfying conclusion to the Dark Aether story with that amazing boss fight and ending cutscene. It pains me to think of what Treyarch could've done if given the time and budget that they should've been and were entitled to, but what they did do was by no means a disappointment after the train wreck that was BO4. Thank you, Treyarch
Hope that you take your time recovering after releasing this, Rizzo. Also, to hear you say that you will be reviewing Alpha Omega is quite the surprise, but I guess it's best to get it out of the way. Can't wait to see your other reviews.
Also, I practically agree with you on how Forsaken's map design and identity is practically void of anything. In fact, that's why I rarely play it (other than to level up some weapons.) All in all, I'm glad that Treyarch wrapped up this chapter of The Dark Aether story in a way that answered almost half of our questions and left others unanswered rather than pull a BO4 move and answer everything.
Although Cold War was a hell of a Rollercoaster with its problems, I'm glad that I managed to stay on for a good portion of its life cycle. Thank you Rizzo, for making that stay worth it.
Always love these reviews and how polished they are, unlike the map itself , which isn't exactly treyarchs fault I know, and glad to see your surgery seems to have gone well
Hope you're doing well Rizzo especially after the surgery. Great video, I semi enjoyed the map for what it was. I think Cold War zombies was the most fun Cod zombies season I've had since Bo3 and kind WW2 zombies. I love WW2 zombies okay. Anyways hope you have a good rest of your day.
Great video! I’m so excited for the outbreak and alpha omega reviews. I’m surprised you didn’t mention how small and rushed the main quest was. Awesome video though!!
Can’t wait for what you have in store next!
Hope you're feeling better Rizzo, also thanks for the epic gamer review
Thank you for all your CW content throughout the year! I hope you review Vanguard after season 1.
I 100% enjoyed the video. I'm always excited to see what you bring to this funny little video sharing platform
Wake up babe new John Rizzo video
Rizzo, its always a good day to see you upload a new video your take on the game is very awesomesause compared to the “best map ever” or “worst map ever” mentality of the wider community. Cant wait for your next video especially that persona 3 one since you are the one who convinced me to try the series out anyway stay swag you epic gamer
Gangster videos as always. Good job Rizzo.
This was good as always. I get what you were saying about the presentation of your Persona 3 review, at least it's great to hear that you're trying and want the final product to be good.
I think Cold War is one of the best Zombies game I've played in the series, outside of the game kicking me out of matches or dealing with glitches at times, I hope they do continue with the story assuming Activision doesn't screw with their creativity freedom.
Vanguard Zombies is fun too, but yeah, very lackluster in terms of what to do, and I hate there is no weapons to buy and you have to either get lucky with whatever weapon drops from crates and the mini boss zombies, or go fishing in the mystery box. They should really consider having weapons to be purchasable like in previous Zombies or have a weapon vendor that gives you the base weapon at a fixed price, and perhaps offer attachments to put on that you've unlocked as well for a fee. Plus some different objectives would be nice too, having the same three just doesn't cut it if they want to go for a more objective style of Zombies (Honestly it'd be nice if they even made a separate mode where Blitz is the only objective).
Still not bad, no where near as the trainwreck that is Exo Zombies, but this is certainly a step down from Cold War Zombies.
I stg I been waiting for you to drop another video bro
Watching while doing glitches in Shaolin shuffle thank you rizzo!!
Your reviews makes me actually want to give Cold War another try even tho I’ve been playing for the past month but with the feeling of being empty and or not fully satisfied with the zombies I wish I didn’t feel that way about it
What I really like about your reviews is that they are balanced with positives and negatives
The two usually approaches would be "THIS MAP IS SO BAD, DON'T PLAY IT, EVERYTHING IS BAD"
or
"best map ever, flawless, nothing to improve at all"
The moment we've all been waiting for
Yep
One thing I might add is that Treyarch expanded the Music Player adding many of the songs from zombies, and finally adding "Comrades in Arms" from the campaign mission "Desperate Measures".
Is your profile pic Gigachad with Adler's face?
@@LuvzToLol21 Yes.
Rizzo. Seriously. Your videos are fucking great. Congrats on your surgery and please, keep up the great work.
its actually kinda funny, i remember you saying in your livestreams that you understandably werent getting the game on launch, but as soon as i saw vanguard getting shat on by literally every influencer i went "aw shit rizzo's definitely getting the game now"
40 days! 400 dark aether centuries I've waited. At last we have the Jrizzo forsaken review
Yes! JR's new video!
Time for popcorn
Honestly,
the best part of the video was this.
27:12
Cerberus goes weeeeeeeeeeeeeee
22:53 that transition was sooo smooth
Outstanding review
Very interesting that you enjoy vanguard zombies! Subbed and hoping for a video on it soon 😜
Glad your feeling better dude.
Great video, as usual.
It reminds me of blood of the dead when you say the whole map should be connected cause if it were connected, I’m sure it would end like a situation where if someone downs in spawn and I’m all the way in docks training, that guy is screwed if I wasn’t packing anywhere but there.
YES I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!
I can't wait for your persona 3 video!
banger video as always rizzo
I stopped playing Cold War a while ago (and never played WW2) but love all your vids!
can we get some drakes in the chat
I’d love to see a video ranking zombies maps from least cinematic to most cinematic!
Man, I love the story of this map so much, and I know it's not like this for everyone, but despite how many things I find cool about it I just can't get invested because I know that it's linked with campaign, and they've now linked black ops and MW meaning that unless zombies takes place after at minimum bo2 in 2025 nothing is really at stake since (obviously) the world is not destroyed or anything
I like how everyone has forgotten that the Crysalax melee heel is from the Knife upgrades
Babe wake up, new Rizzo video
Finally forsaken review is here
Great video man!!
Very cool of you John Rizzo
I like the plaguehound flavor text :)
This is exactly what I've been waiting for
I'm here for the PhD joke
Love your videos John!
Good video John Rizzo aka VanossGaming very good stuff
Finally been waiting for this one
good review man although for me i looove this map, your negative points are valid for sure. very excited to see the outbreak review too, i have a love hate relationship with that mode and i know you love and probably hate it at the same time.
Great review! Personally, I'd wait till the main Easter egg is added till you do a review of the Vanguard map
the only good thing from twitter is being able to watch your videos early :))))
27:57 I mostly agree agree with you. Emphasis on mostly, because I think The Amplifier area has its own personality. Just my 2¢
I do enjoy this map, but I completely understand what you're saying about it. It definitely is a step down from previous maps
The Zach sound bites are a nice touch.
babe wake up new rizzo video
nevermind twitter saw it first
I have been looking forward to this
Hey rizzo great video! Quick question what happen to your saw retrospective? Anyway thanks for the content
It's been a nice long year of Call of Duty Zombies but I guess its time to say "until we meet again" for the Dark Aether story's continuation beyond Forsaken after they finish the prequel story they want to tell through Call of Duty Vanguard. I said this in a game already, but I gotta really commend you for covering the ENTIRETY of Black Ops Cold War's Zombies season. I probably couldn't keep up with the constant updates this game received throughout the season.
As for Forsaken itself, yeah I too found myself thinking throughout the map, "yeah I'm basically just playing Redlight Greenlight but Zombies." On something like Mauer Der Toten, the feeling of "I'm playing Brick in the Wall but Zombies" felt more distant. It's far from a favorite Zombies map of mine but the Chyrsalax is fun as hell to use. Hell, I had a blast during the Haunting event when zombies dropped pumpkins, which in turn granted free Chyrsalaxs and Pack a Punch Chalices, which was INSANE in the spawn room.
It's kind of a shame that everything else collapsed under its own weight though, for the gameplay department anyway (ie Special Enemies all being present). That story cliffhanger, however, has me more eager than ever to find out what's next!
On a sidenote, I know once upon a time you said that TH-cam has started to become less of a priority in your life and you were/are less passionate about it compared to many years ago. But I thank you for the effort you put in despite that change in your life. Thanks for all the continued work you put into your videos! I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next! I'm especially interested to, when the time is right, see how Persona 3 functions from your takes on it.
Hope you're doing okay Rizzo!!
Deleted twitter do it was a pleasant surprise to see you uploaded :)
