[@PLANDerLinde99]

That transition between MOTD and Buried was so clean I didn't even notice the transition at first

[@tyronepube4675]

That purple lantern on buried is for the easter egg it spawns in I think after shooting all the crystal balls with the paralyzer and building the guillotine. you can throw a grenade at it that makes it drop and the player can pick it up and collect the witches soul with it.

[@Veltri_J]

Was just about to say this. Glad someone did.

[@duffy_115]

why is no one talking about the insanely smooth transitions between each map!!!

[@cameron-xq8rt]

I feel like the second skybox on #6 was supposed to make you feel like you were at the top of the clouds

[@S2nppy]

I REALLY wish more youtubers did this. I love seeing kind of out of bounds or just ways the maps work and how the developers went about things. It's rlly sad that no one else does these types of videos anymore but your channel has been a goldmine for this kind of stuff. Also loved the transitions between the maps, especially the Nuketown to Die rise one

[@S2nppy]

@@charliefazzari6389I've watched his video's a good bit but I appreciate that in ThatWasAwesome's Videos he also has lots of knowledge on the game whereas I find shesez doesn't have as much knowledge on the games since he covers so many different ones.

[@DrLiquid]

I think I remember hearing that the extra pathways by gen 3 in Origins are what's used for the intro cutscene.

[@ICameToTroubleYou]

The Lantern you show on Buried. The one under the Map. It's a part of the Easter Egg for the Map. At one point you have to throw a grenade and get it to fall from the sky.

[@IDontModWTFz]

THANK YOU FOR SHOWING THE BUS AT THE START!! I've tried telling so many people but I'm a liar apparently.

[@grizzlehatchet1]

If I had to guess about the word "wrecks" inside the devs mailbox.... Devs often hide their pets names in games, and Wrecks sounds like Rex. A common dogs name from back in the day.

[@Bruh..669]

Woah woah woah bro 😭 back in the day? This was only 2013, quit making it sound like we are all old men🤣🤣

[@KaiHydra]

The reason why Hoggatt's mailbox has another name in it is because Wrecks is his online handle :)

[@MemesandBigFunnys]

"Go inside the Denizen" 💀💀💀

[@dogotube3668]

The extra paths in origins could be explained with the fact that for the first time players are at an EXTEME altitude in the map, letting them see it from a Birds Eye view, and if the trench’s just cut off it would be really obvious.

[@OmegaRejectz]

Those transitions are so clean

that transition from MOTD to Buried gave me a heart attack

Nice video!

[@jipbroek1153]

Keep doing what you’re doing bro! Your vids are just something else ( in the best way haha)💪🏻❤

[@Sflreaction]

Awesome video man. Ik a bit about zombs dev n Just wanna clear up the connected window theory where zombies change their mind. Pretty sure each zomb spawn location is linked to 1 barrier, so a zombie will always try to go to the barrier before actually pathing to a player. You’ll see this if you noclip outside the map before the zombie has reached a barrier, they’ll just keep walking to the barrier. There is an exception, if the barrier doesnt have boards/ can’t be rebuilt then the zomb spawner will most likely have a flag on it to tell the zombie to path to player (this applies when there’s a zomb spawner inside the playable map too). All love 👊

[@Random17493]

I love how they reused assets they already made it such creative ways for design

[@plazmaburngaming5163]

I have an interesting one for you, the other day I was messing around with infection mods on Xbox and on the mod menu there is a camo settings option, on origins you can put the normal, mob of the dead and origins pack a punch camos onto guns while playing origins. I found out that all of the staffs actually accept the mob of the dead pack a punch camos meaning that surely the developers intended for you to be able to pack a punch all of the staffs at some point during development but it got scrapped.

[@aprazoh]

I was expecting to see some stuff i already seen years ago but a lot of this stuff i never heard of and i been playing and learning since i was a kid

[@Dylan-oe5cs]

That Nuketown to die rise transition was fucken awesome

[@brianmorris2991]

Randomly pulled this vid up but that transition at 4:40 was clean

[@notgayming5190]

The eyes of the witch and leroy are fx, cant see if without lighting And anytime there is a part on the map that is used for something else its usally because u have to have the model on the map somewhere to spawn it in, like the lantern on buried and probally the tank parts

[@danieldietrich9969]

Pretty sure that lantern under the witches house is the one that floats around during the Main Quest EE. It's probably just the area it's stored until it's triggered for the Quest.

[@wayneigoe6722]

3:14 "Nice Dissolve" -Barf (Spaceballs) Also, I just noticed this, but if you look as the shape of the paths on origins from above, like you show on screen at 17:40, the paths make the same symbol as the one on the templar zombies' chests.

[@VoidGaming42]

The section of trenches by generator 3 were likely used for creating the intro cutscene

[@abrahamverdugo8667]

This mf have a great ability of making smooth transitions

[@Reznov115Vacation]

03:14 transition was easy to make,but that gives a lot of effect

[@Reznov115Vacation]

Die Rise and Mob one were absoulutely perfect

[@Liamgeorge1]

I always wondered why that stuff was sticking out on the stairs on origins
