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

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

[@davemac9563]

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.

Black Ops 1 is goated and is probably my number 2 or 3 in terms of Zombies games.

To this day, I have always preferred the visual style of BO1 Zombies as apposed to the over saturated and plastic-looking Chronicles remasters. (Don't get me wrong, the BO3 versions of the maps are asthetically pleasing but for me personally miss the mark when it comes to that unsettling and liminal feeling that the original versions give off).

[@wessmip634]

Yes I have been waiting for this

[@pwnt0ast3r]

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.

[@fiinenight]

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.

[@DanielWilson-lm4zh]

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. Surviving just to survive with no story to get invested in and no goal to achieve was fucking boring and pointless. Times change and zombies had to change with the times and evolve to be better and stay relevant.

[@fiinenight]

​@@DanielWilson-lm4zh I know that mob and origins helped zombies popularity and origins was a real good map. what I'm saying is that it gave people the idea that the story Easter egg was the main appeal of zombies which it never was for most, and being forced to do most of the EE steps to play the map properly got repetitive. bo1 struck a good balance tho i prefer bo2 weapons a lot more i think they are more interesting

[@DanielWilson-lm4zh]

@@fiinenight Easter eggs have always been optional. I would say easter eggs became the appeal cause it was something else to do other than the standard round based gameplay that we've been doing since day 1. It was something new, something fun, and it was a mystery for the player to uncover. It brought the community more together than any round based gameplay.

Quick tip for ascension: place claymores on each perk machine the more you progress

[@requiemagent3014]

I want to add something to mulekick. Something important. Having three weapons takes longer to cycle through. This can and will end your game sometimes. It is the sole reason why I never use this. Even in newer CODs. When I need my Wonder weapon to get out of a sticky situation I need it NOW.

[@zestymoon]

That’s not really true. If you know your weapon cycle, you can click triangle/Y multiple times to cycle to the weapon you want, or if you using a mouse, you can rotate back and forth using the scroll to the weapon you need. It’s just a matter of muscle memory

[@smugplush]

Fantastic video, worth the wait and hope you take a nice break after it! I'd say BO1 Zombies is the most balanced out of all the games, you don't feel too strong nor powerful but the same goes for the zombies/enemies so everyone feels equal and if it does end up being 1 sided then it feels more chaotic and interesting since you do have a chance to get out of the situation. The weapons, AI, bosses, map design, all of them follow an old school formula that's easy to understand, easy to pick up and play both Solo/COOP all without needing to do the Main Story Easter Egg, something that's nothing but a side idea instead of the main focus. I feel the community got so heavily spoiled from BO3 with that everyone thinks "WAW/BO1 bad because too easy and boring" without actually understanding why both are the most successful zombies modes out there because anyone can enjoy it all without looking up a guide. BO1 is the only game i'm able to properly experiment with perks and mainly weapons due to how they function and through their unique PAP system making them feel completely different to other weapons which increases the sandbox and allows you to try out different styles with all of them being playable since the maps and more importantly zombies themselves were all made with that system in mind so it feels very fair. Every weapon has it's own identity and personality to the point where they are literally weapons from irl except for the Wonder Weapons but using those weapons then seeing them in real life, sparks a satisfying story since you can connect it to zombies and or other games so that makes the experience so much better which got lost in BO3 onwards. It's sad that the community mainly the "Zombies KZbinrs" slander and misunderstand these maps while putting anything that Blundel works on in A/S tier all because they are blinded by the amount of cash that BO3 filled their pockets with and how badly Treyarch spoiled the community that they go against everything that simpily isn't BO3. The same community that makes negative/hate videos on those who put Kino in A/S tier when it's nothing but an opinion, goes to show how bad the community in general is just so disconnected. My point is BO1 being as simple and understandable as it is, also reflects the community back when everyone was doing nothing but memes due to how much love and dedication they had for the mode, nothing but that was keeping the community alive and as zombies kept going on, things got more complicated which ment the same for the community and none of it ends positive which is sad. You're the only youtuber out of all the years to actually understand BO1 Zombies perfectly so keep doing what you do best as it's what the community needs during these dying times.

[@zestymoon]

Glad you enjoyed the video. The opinion that bo1 is a boring game is mostly held by people who play nothing but easter eggs, or people that go for insane high rounds. And in fairness to those people, bo1 doesn’t offer that experience for them. While I do disagree with their take, I do understand the point of view. I mostly had an issue with people calling the game outdated, which it isn’t. It offers a completely different experience. That doesn’t mean it can’t be enjoyed by others

[@DanielWilson-lm4zh]

1. BO1 zombies is mid. Every map has some annoying ass gimmick that ruins the entire map. First of all, zombies are not equal to you. You get weaker and they get tougher as each round passes. That's what a round based survival mode is. There is nothing wrong with having an easter egg. And even then, BO3 easter eggs are still optional. You can still get the feel of a map without a guide. And even if you do, using a guide is not inherently a bad thing. 2. Again, you don't have to use a guide for everything. You can figure out a lot of things by using your common sense and by playing the map. There is nothing wrong with using a guide at all. Zombies has always been easy dude. BO3 is easy and so is BO1. Zombies is easy no matter what game you are playing. BO3 is easy even with double pap and gobblegums. Just run around in circles and train for hours until you get to whatever round you wanna get to. Every game is the same shit. What "unique pap" are you referring to? Sounds like something you're making up. Zombies has always been made with the sandbox system in mind. So a weapon has to be based on real life for you to connect with it? That's your problem, not the games problem. How does the weapons being based on real life make the game better in any way? 3. Blundell's maps are in A and S tier because they deserve it. Every map in BO1 has some annoying ass gimmick and serious flaws that ruins the entire map. Nova crawlers are annoying, but other than that, Kino is a solid classic map. Five is way too linear and pentagon thief is annoying. Ascension monkeys are annoying AF and the map is way too open and easy. George Romero is annoying AF and the scavenger and vr-11 suck ass, other than that, COTD is a solid map. Shingri la is a little too cramped and the monkeys stealing your power ups is annoying AF. Unlocking pap in coop is always a gamble on whether it actually happens or not. Moon is such a garbage map. Low gravity is just a gimmick, nothing more. It doesn't benefit the gameplay at all and is actually a detriment. Astronaut boss is one of the worst boss zombies ever and most people agree. Dealing with the excavators is annoying AF as well. Moon is way too much RNG to be enjoyable. BO3 don't have any of these problems. They learned from the mistakes of BO1 and BO2 and made BO3 the best it can be. Most people agree that BO3 is the peak of zombies. So being simple and understandable is good enough for you? Having any depth or complexity is a bad thing? Sounds like a you problem. I would love to see you actually try to counteract anything I said. BO1 zombies is mid AF and BO3 is the best. It's the fan favorite for a reason.

And you know damn well that bo1 is not as easy as Bo3 you don’t have to gaslight yourself the game that has a two hit down system, mostly trash guns, little to no crutch mechanics vs a game with gobblegums, double tap 2.0, AATs, 3 hit down, every gun is strong, weapon kits, and specialist abilities and yet “Zombies is easy no matter what game you’re playing” LOL, play WaW der riese and then play CW Die Maschine and try saying that again with a straight face Yea There’s nothing wrong with using a guide but your average Joe will have no idea how to upgrade the staffs/bows, get the sword on shadows or pap without a guide, OPs point is that Bo1 is more to the point than Blundells maps which is just what he prefers, you know everybody plays the mode for different reasons right? Not everyone is a Blundell dick muncher, and you can’t use the “complex = harder” argument because his maps are much easier than Zielinskis besides Bo4 on realistic “Most people agree Bo3 is the peak of zombies and it’s a fan favorite for a reason” This is literally Bot/NPC levels of thinking, Ad Populum fallacy buddy “Taylor Swift is the number one artist in the world so she must be the first for a reason” “Most people agree Avengers Endgame was the peak of the mcu so it’s the best one” Bo3 dickriders try not to act smug and condescending when someone shares their opinion challenge: IMPOSSIBLE

[@NemNamz]

I cannot say bo1 is the most balanced considering its weapon pool was arguably the worse in the franchise dealing no dmg and being forced to rely on wonder weapon which can just be a huge detriment most of the time. In terms of balancing in that aspect, bo2 takes the crown here with weapons that will actually last you for more than 30 rounds while still making wonder weapons a good addition to have and not a must have like in bo1 (hell Call of the dead has the worse weapon pool ever). Maps wise, they’re all very good and I do agree the blundell era made us do a lot more quests than surviving but that honestly evolved the gameplay of zombies more than anything because looking back at older games, there’s not much to it other than surviving for the longest time or EE speedrun attempts. I’m in no way saying bo1 zombies is a bad game but with bo3 and bo4, there’s more to desire than pure simplicity.

i always thought kino was just really easy playing it back then, so i always preferred playing Five, i feel like five is just so fun. definitely underrated

[@Adorabuds]

the amount of slander and disrespect to Ascension was so incorrect. To say the map has aged poorly is like saying Tranzit is underrated. Ascension is objectively one of the better maps on bo1 and the monkeys aren't nearly as much of an issue as people desperately want them to be. I can see them being an issue to the people who don't have a thundergun and refuse to use the fire traps but even if they do take your perk just buy it again. The game isn't undoing your progress your points are meant to be spent.

[@zestymoon]

I’m glad you enjoy it more than I do, but I don’t see how you think that it’s objectively one of the better maps. To me, the map is a bigger der riese/ kino with a massive nuisance. The monkeys aren’t the end of the world. As I said in the video, they don’t make the game harder at all, but they do force you to regain progress, and yes they do take away your progress. Saying that they don’t means that you don’t consider perks to be a valuable part of your kit, which is objectively false. I would be fine with the monkeys if ascension had something to offer that makes it unique, which it doesn’t. I don’t hate ascension, but I would rather play any other map in the game barring most of the waw remakes

[@fuzzycarpet]

@@zestymoonbut what you didn’t mention which surprised me, is that if you only open the door from the spawn room into the jug room and don’t open the door that goes up stairs, the monkeys go in a direct path if you’re using the most common training spot (the big square with 1 obstacle), you see them running in a line on their way to the spawn area. I’m not saying they’re not annoying but there’s an easy fix and it hardly changes gameplay.

[@lordofpixels0347]

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]

I’ve had that happen a ton. But the reason I didn’t mention it is because I didn’t want to bring up an issue that is only affects people that play at a high refresh rate.

[@lordofpixels0347]

​@@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.

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

[@zestymoon]

I already made a bo2 video lmao

[@Gojeto346]

Cold War was genuinely the game to get us back on track, the mechanics in that game I still think are the best in the entire series. If only they had invested more times into better maps with more interesting easter eggs and a ton of side content, we would’ve had a revival of zombies me thinks. Also they FUCKED UP by not having Tranzit be an Outbreak map. It would’ve been actually perfect, we could’ve seen a pre-nuked Tranzit map, but noooooo. Gotta make fuckin VANGUARD ZOMBIES🤮

[@Xra999]

Bro how do you only have 4k subs thats wild

[@zestymoon]

Hopefully One day I’ll get far

[@zombieimpact2790]

Kino Der Toten has always been my favorite zombies map.

[@Thrasher_d]

[@zestymoon]

As you should

[@nman551]

My first cod zombies game

[@Bennybey123]

As a zombies veteran from its conception and has been obsessed ever since…. This video is absolutely amazing! My guy was literally talking about when we all first learnt how to train among so many other valid points he made, kino, five, ascension… I’m only 45 mins in, but real recognise real, this dude is literally an OG version of Mr roffle waffles before the money corrupted him lol…… zombies is a round based wave game mode…. Easter eggs are cool to do once…. But the longevity of zombies imo has always been high rounding, zombies KZbinrs imo contributed to the downfall of my beloved game mode, Dalek JD mr perkaholic for example lol…… big up Noah J though for keep pushing the customs….. finally this year o got a PC and now I literally have 60+ maps downloaded 😂

[@zestymoon]

An og mr rofflewaffles? That’s an interesting way to describe me. I’m glad you enjoyed the video brotha

[@blauwbeer556]

Rewatched the video, i changed my mind it sux lmao

[@braylonwilliams2547]

Imma give my personal opinions on the maps: Kino Der Toten: Personal favorite map of all time and I really love it. "Five": A cool "Yang" to Kino's "Yin" and they work well together. 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.

[@MoneyMike23]

W Dbz reference i just got back in to zombies on Bo3 i started on bo1 loved five n Kino was my fist taste in zombies I didn’t own bo2 myself but I briefly played when i was at a friends house but i soon get a ps3 n run bo2 n People still play zombies chronicles surprisingly

[@jeanpierreswanson2715]

14:01 “Feople”😂😂😂

[@zestymoon]

Look. My accent isn’t perfect, but that clearly sounds like “a lot of people” lmao.

[@it2spooky4me79]

Hold on, gotta mark this video down right now, this is a good video to eat too, I'll be back later.

[@TheFrosty_1]

I hereby announce this video essay and our joyous contribution towards it as an artifact of significant historical value. May our AUGs be non-anachronistic and our pneumonias not in the several!

[@wayneigoe6722]

In what universe is Jugg "easy to get to" on Kino? it's in a tiny corner from hell that is next to impossible to get out of

[@zestymoon]

Well if you’re training in the stage and all the zombies are there, you can easily run there, get the perk, and dip to the lobby. That amount of time you have to do that is an eternity. Even if you’re not in the stage, if you sprint from any room in the map to jug, there’s no way any zombie would be around to block you path. Granted all of that is in solo, but in co op, you can have your teammates defend you.

[@derbart1191]

Acension wasnt the first map to introduce a new Perk, Kino introduced Mulekick and also had 5 perks.

[@zestymoon]

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

[@derbart1191]

Oh on didn't know that, mb and thank you for the clarification. ​@@zestymoon

[@Johnny-oh5zh]

Alleluia.

[@mrm0nty550]

Classic Treyarch zombies will never get outdated. The mode is simple enough that anybody can get into it, with the possibility of added complexity if you go for high rounds or EEs. The lore's also there if you're interested but you can play thr mode perfectly fine without it.

[@weewoo7802]

"I've played this game more than anyone in the last 5 months" Some rando speedrunner: *chuckles*

[@zestymoon]

Ok maybe like top 10.

[@DJAK792]

Why is it so hard to find time in my life? I hope that today will be the day in which I finally watch this video

[@zestymoon]

And I hope that you’re going to enjoy it

[@tougeadventures2076]

Forgot two major Kino strats... Fire trap and foyer room for the unlucky fourth player lmao

[@username-qy5ix]

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

[@zestymoon]

Which part of the video are your talking about?

[@JohnnyJohnnyJohnnyJohnnyJohnny]

I do have a lot of problems with bo1 zombies, and It has shown it's age in a lot of ways. That being said it's still black ops zombies it's a classic forever

[@EnoBuddy]

Is it worth it to buy it now? I've started with black ops 4 and its still the best game for me tho but i did never played the older ones...i want to buy all the cods with zombies in the past but don't know if it's worth it..could anyone give me an advice? I'm missing on world at war, black ops 1+2 and advanced warfare...did anybody recommend to buy these games in 2024?

[@zestymoon]

If you think that bo4 is the best game in the series, then I don’t know if I should recommend bo1 for you. The maps and mechanics are night and day. Personally, I enjoy bo4, but I have many problems with pretty much every aspect of the game, so again not sure if it’ll be to your liking.

[@EnoBuddy]

@@zestymoon for me it is. I've started with it so it will be always special for me. I had a very fun time with it. I'll probably buy it somewhere cheap, just to catch up and who knows, maybe I'll change my mind on bo4. Thanks for the respond ❤

[@BrokenScript]

Bro, thank you for actually being honest, like, there's only bo3 fans now..

[@zestymoon]

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.

[@Floppygamr]

comon zesty W

[@lionsenkei1621]

And easter eggs can be done offline I will not stop stressing that

[@lionsenkei1621]

Bo4😂😂😂😂😂

[@jbeezy31]

Yippee thank you my life is 43493937 times better

[@Beerpongmaster14]

lol i am bung, did we play on steam bo1?

[@nottuxedo1]

Even a p diddy party couldn’t stop me from watching this video

[@justinverser2102]

Ascension is my favorite map.

[@zestymoon]

I’m glad you enjoy it more that I do

[@darkowls3418]

كل عام وانت بخير

[@zestymoon]

و انت بخير و صحة وسلامة

[@TRaiiN420]

Everyone beat the story back then.

[@EpicLuckyy]

Shangri-la is my favorite map in Bo1. I actually prefer it over moon. In Bo3, tho it's the complete opposite

[@beatleaf]

call of the dead is a top 3 map argue with a wall

[@tongansquillium1263]

I gotta disagree, but glad you like it that much

[@zestymoon]

That’s unfortunate, but I’m glad that you’re expressing your disagreement in a respectful way. Thank you for that

[@dariusdafigga]

Not sure if you meant the video title literally but I think most would consider BO3 zombies a top three of all time and that game came out eight years ago. Cold War zombies is also another good one and that game came out four years ago. BO1 compared to either of these is very outdated, if you’re talking mechanics/movement. Not hating whatsoever, just being realistic. Some of my fondest & earliest experiences were playing kino all morning at my cousin’s house on the weekends as a kid.

[@zestymoon]

Imo, if you’re going to call the game outdated, there should be a reason for it other than that the game doesn’t have the mechanics or the movement of the newer games. For example, I would consider world at war outdated because the zombies AI was glitchy. They essentially were walking magnets that stopped you in place whenever they swipe at you. I don’t think you can put bo1 in the same boat as that.

[@dariusdafigga]

@@zestymoon Well if you disregard the movement, then sure I would definitely say the game isn't outdated. Maybe some of the color schemes but nothing major. Like I said, I love BO1 and actually just played the campaign yesterday

[@gabrieltorres6633]

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

[@zestymoon]

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

[@user-nw5iy1mp3n]

Ps never bought bo4 coz it had no campain removed jug plus other bs i did get BO cold war though some maps are decent on bocw i liked the hp bar above heads id been wanting that since 1st BOZ hehe. I also played some awsome mods for boz wawz (maybe a bit too old now lol) but some of them mods had easter eggs in a story while killing zombies

[@tornox3728]

Great video and super based take for saying Shang is the best of bo1

[@brandonsaerens3673]

Do you play zombies with your fans?

[@zestymoon]

I haven’t done something of the sort in a while. But I’ll probably do a grief stream at some point and invite people from the chat

[@Pig3636]

While I may have BO1 towards the end of my zombies ranking, I do have an immense amount of respect for it. Without Kino, Ascension and Moon Zombies wouldn't be the same. As for the maps themselves, I'm really mixed on this game. Kino gets boring really quickly for me, I do not like Five at all minus the goofy story, Ascension is extremely fun until the monkeys show up, Call of the Dead is ruined by George for me, Shang is pretty good and I hate Moon. As for the WaW remasters, eh. Honestly I think they're the worst ways to play those maps minus Der Riese. Yeah I know the perks, OP weapons and gobblegums (which I never use) miss the point of the original maps but I do not care. It is fun to have Jugg, Double Tap, Widow's Wine and Speed Cola on Nacht with a Dingo and Drakon. Off topic ramble aside, fantastic video as always! Sidenote I know they fixed it with the BO3 version of Verruckt but...why add the winter's howl to Verruckt instead of the Wunderwaffe? It's an asylum in the 1940s, they used electro shock therapy. Electric shock. Wunderwaffe. It's like the most obvious choice ever.

[@blauwbeer556]

Treyarc was probably thinking like this: Verruckt needs a wonder weapon but the map still needs to be hard. "five" is a hard map even with the wonderweapon so five's wonderweapon shall be in verruckt.

[@Bennybey123]

They killed training and made camping the more viable option….. it sucks
