Couple of things I completely forgot to mention in the video. First of which is why I didn’t include dead ops arcade, and the second thing is the round 100 that achieved on call of the dead For dead ops, there’s two reasons I didn’t include it in this video. First is that I’m leaving it for a different type of video I’m planning to do after mw3’s life cycle ends. The other reason is that I can’t include it even if I wanted to. For whatever reason, dead ops doesn’t launch for me on pc, so I can’t play it. As for the call of the dead round 100, a week before uploading this video, someone managed to get to round 105 on call of the dead. The reason I didn’t include it is that I only heard about this after uploading the video, and I didn’t think I would need to check if someone got to round 100 since something like this would’ve been a massive deal in the community. To my surprise, I haven’t seen anyone talk about it. Anyways, I’ll start working on the next video after the college semester ends in May to make sure I don’t fail any of my classes. So until then, enjoy this video

Black ops 1 is my favorite. The atmosphere is creepy and mysterious, fun and memorable weapons, interesting wonder weapons, and the challenge of survival was still at the forefront. When people say old zombies is outdated, I think what they really feel is that they are over the core gameplay of survival, and later games really contributed that.

something people tend to forget: in black ops 1 both kino, five (an dead ops arcade) are on disc! which mean you don't have to pay more money and if the servers are shutdown you can still play those maps. bo2 has the HUGE weakness to have as only on disc maps the tranzit stuff. I remember paying 60€ the game at release and instantly launching it at home and the first thing I did is to check the zombie mode cuz I was curious to what they did with the mode and it was fun playing tranzit and town with friends for one week.. then.... yeah. later the first dlc map released, it was die riese. my friend bought it and.... yeah unsurprisingly he didn't like it and recommended to the whole group to come back to bo1 and forget about bo2. when the first actual good map released with motd, we stop playing bo2 all together so we didn't cared and even if we did that one friend wouldn't want to risk to waste money again buying a dlc so we would have to play without him. that's the main reason to why bo2 zombie is the worst one of the treyarch classics, that and the fact waw zombie is underrated as hell. and that's why bo1 and bo3 are the best zombie even tho i'm not the biggest fan of bo3 edit: you can totally train in Five when playing in group of 4, in fact all the three floors are trainable

Why is it perfect? 1. Start with a single gun - gives you the anxiety and adrenaline that you need because you are playing zombies ofcourse. 2.

The problem in newer cods for me is that i feel like im never going to die and with the overpowered loadouts and everything i see the zombies as a joke.

A thing worth noting in regards to the low gravity issues on Moon: the physics of BO1 are affected by your fps. Very high fps makes the odds higher of you to randomly fly up in the air when sprinting. Sometimes I've flown up so high that I can reach the ceiling in the pyramid room. There's a reason why the game is capped at 92 fps as default on PC.

@@zestymoon Understandable. But then again, a lot more PC players nowadays play with fps and refresh rates that are much higher than 60. So for anyone that gets really bothered by the Moon physics glitches, this could be good know. Fun fact: BO2 has similar issues in some aspects, as that game's physics are also affected by fps and refresh rate. Best example is the Paralyzer in Buried. The higher the fps, the lower you can fly up. Really high fps makes you incapable of flying up at all.

My favorite maps from BO1 were “FIVE” and “Call of the Dead.” In BO2, they are “Mob of the Dead” and “Buried.” In BO3, they were “Shadows of Evil.” I can play all those maps all day and never get bored. They really need to make zombies it’s own game so we can use different movement and have all the maps in one game I can’t play any newer COD zombies without getting bored past round 30. Cold War was okay, but it was way too easy for my liking, and the HUD was kinda gross in my opinion. Why do you need a mini map? Vanguard was just a big disappointment. I thought MW3 would be good because Modern Warfare guns in zombies sound cool until you get into a game on the one and only map that is a Warzone map, just at night with pimples in buildings and no round based mode. 😭 Later on in MW3’s life cycle, they made zombie looking maps not for zombies but for multiplayer. Why not make those maps round based, even if they are bad? 🤷♂️

It's strange, in my opinion, I agree with a lot of people when they say that BO1 is outdated. Yet when I say it's outdated, I don't always mean it in a bad way, BO1 came out at a time when the Zombies mode was still growing, evolving, and most importantly, experimenting, for better or for worse. There's a LOT of stuff in BO1 that I don't like (ammo economy, weapon damage falloff, a lot of the special zombies, Shangri-La), but a lot of those are really just bad because it was their first time trying something new, and it just didn't work out (besides the ammo thing bro what is up with always running out of ammo in BO1 LOL). Also as a side note I think I prefer playing the BO1 versions of almost all these maps, despite Zombies Chronicles fixing a lot of the issues I have with them.

imo cod zombies went downhill with the mindset that mob of the dead introduced, focusing on Easter eggs\story when the real appeal of zombies is the rogue like elements that it never leaned into as much as it should. the box having the best weapons, but also risking giving you shitty guns is the best example of this. your point about bo1 weapons was a good point, having to overcome difficult maps while having a bunch of playstyles due to box luck, direction you go in on a map, perk choice makes it interesting.

Nah you're wrong. MOTD saved zombies. Tranzit and Die Rise were killing BO2 whereas MOTD and Origins saved the game and the entire zombies game mode. Focusing on easter eggs and story was for the better. Round based survival was getting tiresome at that point.

Times change and zombies had to change with the times and evolve to be better and stay relevant.

I listened to this at work and I loved your retrospective! I've been playing this game since a few weeks before DLC1 came out, and I continue to play it to this day (I totally recommend the Renaissance mod for a really fun and refreshing experience too!) A few nerdy things to note: Commonly, most know the Wunderwaffe as the "Jugg Zapper", but what it's actually doing is zapping your health regen away. Without Jugg, zapping yourself brings you from 100 HP down to 1. With Jugg, it takes you from 250 HP down to 113, effectively making you a 2 hit. Surprisingly, a lot dont know about this, but the WAW remasters are also launch maps! They were released alongside the Prestige Edition of the game. So they rereleased the maps in DLC4 because, let's be honest, you paid a bunch extra for a game version that not many else had. You weren't going to find anyone to play with online. Lastly, you probably know by now, but Round 100 was just achieved in COTD solo very recently. Many runners were playing correctly to reach Round 100, but a fatal flaw with the game engine was holding them back. If I'm not mistaken, the game will count ticks in each map. If this count reaches the 32-bit integer limit (around 21 billion), the map will force restart. I think the restart happens around 80 hours? This is why many runners have to basically speedrun for world record. This issue persisted from WAW as well. COTD just had Round 100 broken because of a new barrier glitch found that leaves zombies in an idle state, which will automatically die when left like that for too long.

Ascension: Would be my favorite but the Monkeys drags it down. Call Of The Dead: Kinda mixed but I loved George Romero. Shangri La: Underrated and yet still my least favorite map of it. Moon: An Great ending map, but it got better in BO3 Nacht Der Untoten: Atmosphere is downgraded but has Mule Kick and Thunder Gun Verruckt: Shittiest version of the map. Why does it get the Winter's Howl Shi No Numa: Just Eh. Der Riese: Got upgraded but I just didn't play it as much. Black Ops 1 as a whole is my favorite Zombies game of all time.

I'm only 44 mins into this video but I love it already. Amazing production work and I love the little art in between the sections. 43:48 "This Place" would be known as "Lander D" as the Russian letter "Д" on the terminal translates into English as the letter "D". The "Junkyard" can also be referred to as "Lander F" (Ф = F) and the Speed Cola lander can be referred to as "Lander B" (Б = B) Edit: Finishing the Ascension section. Yes I do agree the monkeys can be very annoying and a bit off putting to want to play the map. However you can prevent them from taking Jugg if you leave both doors closed and get it through defending the perk machine and the bottle, at the cost/challenge of not being able to buy Jugg and having to gamble for it. And taking the time to look into the detail of the map it has that eerie and cold, yet beautiful atmosphere, even before turning the power on. I personally think it's aged fine if you're looking for a fun time, yet want more of a challenge than Kino, which tbh while I like Kino, it's always been overrated to me and has felt like a "Der Reise 2.0" not that it's a bad thing and it's good if I want to shut my brain off and shoot. Five/Ascension and beyond keep me on my toes and keep me challenged. Again overall I love the video, and I was 8 when BO1 came out, so I remember when these DLC's came out and used whatever Microsoft Points (Yes... those) I had saved from Christmas' and birthdays to buy them. BO1 is a huge nostalgia trip for me every time and I will always come back to it. This and BO2 serve as major core memories for me.

The problem is that they waste your time by forcing you to go around the entire map getting your perks back.

Absolutely brilliant video. I’m glad I found your channel. The only thing I disagree with is your opinions on the original four maps, especially shi no numa and der riise. Especially der riise… that map is utterly goated. I was thinking you’d speak more highly about it especially with how highly you spoke about Kino, which I think is an inferior map. Nacht and Verruckt I can see your points but I definitely think they are great maps which really capture that original zombies style gameplay which we miss today and haven’t had since bo3 zombies. Other than that, the video is FANTASTIC. Thank you brother 🐐

Can you do a video on BO2 as well? That was my first and honestly made me hate BO1 on so for years, because without a team it felt like training the game, but as an adult it’s in my top three, in order from 3-1 it’s bo1, bo3, and BO2

@zestymoon6 ай бұрын
I wouldn’t say that there’s isn’t fans of the other games. It’s more so that fans of bo3 are more vocal about their high opinion of the game, which I do understand. It’s just that some of them are so attached to that opinion that they think that the other games aren’t even worth playing, and it’s impossible for them to comprehend that people can enjoy other games.

I'm a very casual player, black ops 3 is usually held up as being brilliant zombies and yeah I guess but a lot of those maps turned me off simply because of the Easter egg steps needed for PAP and so on. I'm very white bread and toast with zombies, call me boring, so bo1 and 2 had so many maps that just worked for me with Kino being the crown jewel. My favourite map.
@BobBob-up8fz2 ай бұрын
The title of this video was already enough. You can not say the game hasn't withstood the test of time. I started with waw's nacht der untoten. This was just after Dmitry and Reznov had put the final nail in the Reichstag's hq. Seeing the zombies running at you in through the fog. Seemingly coming back for revenge against the player, truly terrifying. Bo1 was a mixed baf for me. The renastered waw maps were fine. But it's a bit clunky. (Except Der reise. That was a perfect remaster!) Kino: Easy and accessible. Asenion: Easy, but the monkeys are a pain. Call of the dead: Camping isnt as viable. George A. Remero keeps players on the move. Shangri-la: Not easy. But with map knowledge. It has some of the best features. (WW, using the monkeys to cycle power ups into max ammo's etc) Moon: Bombastic and chaotic. But it has the most rewarding late match gameplay potential.

Acension wasnt the first map to introduce a new Perk, Kino introduced Mulekick and also had 5 perks.
@zestymoon6 ай бұрын
That’s a common misconception. Mule kick was never a thing until moon came out. When the perk was introduced in moon, the devs decided to retroactively add it to all previous maps. If you doubt that, try playing a game of any map other than moon and the waw remasters offline. Mule kick won’t be on the map

I dont see how Acension is a poorly aged map, if you put out a poll today youd see it being at the top instead of the bottom for a reason. The monkey rounds cannot be the reason it aged poorly, considering everything else is fantasticeven for solo players. Unlike five, five has to be the most poorly aged map on bo1. The lack of space, the lack of good weapons to get you set up, the pentagon theif, nova crawlers in the tightest spaces etc. Not to mentionen the lack of good wonder weapons. P.s sarah michelle gellar would be more known for her roll as Buffy the vampire slayer lol
@zestymoon6 ай бұрын
I think you missed what I said in the end of that section. The reason I said ascension aged poorly isn’t purely because of the monkeys. The astronaut for example is just as bad if not worse than the monkeys, but I didn’t say that moon aged poorly due to that. The reason I said that ascension aged poorly is that the map is no longer unique, and there are too many other maps that offer what it offers. The monkeys more so the straw the broke the camel’s back. Oh and for sarah’s role as buffy, I do know that she’s more known for that role than daphne. I just thought it would be hilarious to mention a much goofier role just to slightly irritate some people who expected buffy. There’s a few comments mentioning this so I guess it worked lmao

hey really hope you see this, I just watched a video about WaW showing that if you play the game above 125 fps it makes the zombies drag you in more. you should give it a try they say you should play the game around 120 fps max

Black ops 1 definitely has zombies despawning, it was one of the mechanics allowing the round 100 on call of the dead.
