COD Zombies HOT TAKES MARATHON

[@kursedmilk]

7:06 he’s right though. The way they tie up loose ends from both timelines and introduce the avagadro as the big bad is masterclass in storytelling.

[@iiambasicz8111]

I actually liked Alpha Omega

[@FMrewind]

yeah fr, had a really fun time doing the easter egg

[@themoistyboy5126]

@@iiambasicz8111 almost like bo4 maps are goat or somethin

[@ZombieNausea]

The Citadel des Morts fast travel that goes from spawn to Jugg is dumb AF! I don't need a fast travel that goes somewhere I can walk to in 10 seconds. Why doesn't it go to PaP?

[@HotPocketEnjoyer]

I use it all the time it's better than nothing but I do agree that there should be a fast travel to go to pap

[@fancy00ne]

id honestly put it just below vultures aid instead of that fireplace

[@DrakeStrong]

It’s so you can do the fire place Easter egg trap

[@J4fflez]

Id rather a fast travel for the easter egg i mean with all the "magic" in the map a harry potter reference was right there aha

[@joehaynes6647]

People mix "its a bad map" with "not liking the map"

[@andreweffertz4194]

Well said. Like I love Die Machine even tho everyone I know hates it. I think objectively it’s a great remaster of nached. But I can recognize it’s not for everyone

[@barsthehippie]

This is honestly a really good take

[@Aztro]

This channel is criminally undersubbed - I wish you all the best man you'll go far if you keep this up!

[@matercheff]

HOT TAKE: Five now that I am older and don’t suck at zombies is way more fun than Kino. Five has one of the coolest boss zombies, bon fire sale, stinky zombies only in the lab. Winters howl isn’t that good, however does an OP gun make the map better or just easier? Would like to have seen a winters howl buff though. Five is always very unique with its cast, and setting.

[@OhhhPez]

I think most people honestly have this opinion who aren't the "Kino is the best map ever" type of people. On Kino when you get the thundergun it feels like you'll be playing until the reset timer, but on Five when you spawn in you know you're gonna die eventually which I enjoy in maps more

[@adham.el.hawyyyy]

i have been NEEEEEEDING a long video to sleep to. THANK YOU JOLTZ

[@bigmac_trumpusa]

Liberty falls was a completely missed oppurtunity to work in American myths and folktales and cryptids, hopefully something they can explore if they return to that area now that the chaos story is back.

[@jakegianino5762]

I live pretty near there. A wendigo or mothman boss woulda been super cool to see. The Jetgun deserved a redemption but not very unique. IMO the Manglers should only be on Russian maps and firebase Z…

[@bigmac_trumpusa]

Fr so many sick myths from this area I really hope they take advantage of it

[@sebastianmaccaroni6859]

18:55 this is sooo true, me and my friends were discussing this the other day, the bo6 easter eggs just feel so lack luster, once you look at them from an outside frame of view they’re like 4-5 quick steps and you’re onto the bossfight. I don’t know how many people played sker ritual but there was a game that did easter eggs right, a semi guided egg for the map followed by a hardcore easter egg after completing with no guidance, the perfect solution to everyone’s gripes

[@gravlab0034]

“And in Cold War you have to kill a zombie before you get points terrible absolutely terrible” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Cboujj]

Hot take: I think that shaolin shuffle and rev are top 5 maps of all time, the complicated and random ee steps are very interesting to me and fun. Also shaolins boss fight is amazing and not too easy.

[@nathanroyer7514]

Love the content joltz keep it up

[@aidenschamanski8218]

The new EE song Slave on Citadelle is the best EE song behind of course Shepard of Fire on Origins

[@A11sTaR416]

9:48 heavy on that one ww2 has been my favorite since it came out and my opinion will never change

[@zuella4682]

HOT TAKE: Voyage of Despair is easily a top 3 map. The community killed BO4 and it’s our fault that zombies have lost its aura.

[@aidenschamanski8218]

Huh!?

[@IX_Efilnikufesin]

It’s very underrated but top 3 is insane lol

[@jakegianino5762]

I have it in my top ten. Imo BO4 plays like BO3 with more options for high rounds. Way better than CW or BO6, killstreak sims on high rounds…

[@DopestGoat]

51:34 Joltz was spitting right here. FACTS.

[@ZombieNausea]

FYI the Ninja Zombies in Shaolin are easily defeated by intentionally sprinting because it FORCES the ninja's to spawn right in front of you, so as long as you are reloaded, you just sprint a few meters til' one spawns then stop and shoot. Then start sprinting again until another spawns and kill it. It's super simple when you know the trick.

[@jakegianino5762]

18:15 I THOUGHT I WAS HAVING A DELUSION BUT THAT’S DEF DUELISTS OF THE ROSES MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND

[@aidenation101]

IMO best game over song is Origins, no contest. Every single time I get the chills the way it makes a game over seem so tragically grand, like you actually got the bad ending for not competing the map

[@Grimm907]

Zetsubou is very underrated due to the long set up process. It could easily be a top 3 of BO3 or atleast top 10 map oat

[@chronosmagia]

Hey Joltz. Love your vids dude, way more helpful for IW than any of those big channels. Did you ever end up uploading a guide for the Chemistry step?

[@Yahya_Eissa]

The BEST series in the entire channel IMO ❤

[@nicklrrueckert]

Die rise, mob of the dead and buried were one hell of a run

[@JC-jt3ug]

Weird one when an infinitely better run is mob, buried, origins

[@FunkyMunkey00_]

Rip PlayStation community. That was one of my favorite things about the ps4, being able to find a bunch of people who like a similar game was great

[@loganbernstein4243]

Hot take Bocw phd slidder is the greatest perk of all time. It is the only perk that can take you past round 100 by itself and disregarding that the movement you get is almost better than staminup

[@luifromthevillage222]

This is off topic my apologies, But what mods did you use for the Mob clip? 5:22 Keep up the vids.

[@gengarclefairy3475]

I quite like the upgradable Squid gun on Revalations, the map one of the easiest maps ever so the EE upgrade being hard/tedious balances it out

[@aquaimperative5618]

The easter egg for upgrading the apothicon servant is NOT hard. It is shooting 5 things and then you're done

[@TopHatManz]

HOT TAKE: FBZ is a top 10 map because it's a good vibe in my opinion and and the special rounds where you defend the generators is pretty good. One of my only reason I hate it is the ee step where your outside the staminup building looking for the different colored lantern because it never works for me.

[@Rhenkei]

1:09:25 God the comedy that every map has now gotten the max round reached lmao. Bo6 is the funniest map for max rounds.

[@jakegianino5762]

Agree on IX. I woulda like going into the halls and spectator areas of the gladiator arena. The Death of Orion was underwhelming. It does have an amazing Gauntlet mode tho.

[@MrNeon935]

Hey its me MrNeon from 49:46 . So about half a month after release a friend of mine actually gifted me bo6 in hopes it would get me back into zombies after my negative opinions on CW and MWZ. Again, I haven't bought cod since CW and swore not to buy bo6 unless proven otherwise. I am glad to say that I have actually been enjoying this iteration of zombies, at least more so than CW. Bo6 feels like a mix of CW and Bo3 in which the newer mechanics are still present, but alot of the personality and atmosphere from bo3 is too. The maps thematically wise are way more interesting than the CW maps. I do believe however, there is still work to be done as most of the community and myself are still frustrated with the newer point system, ridiculous PaP costs, boss zombie spam, etc. After completing the two launch maps EE and Citadel's, I still feel like the quest steps are too easy and overall pretty short. Citadel's EE is mostly just building the swords, then two steps later is the boss fight (which I admit was pretty cool). I will continue to remain cautiously optimistic for the future of the game.

39:48 I 100% think if they are going to make gg a micro transaction, the way they’re doing it right now, is by far the best way, let us know which gg we get in the game and also letting us know what we are paying for

[@chemsburger1821]

HOT TAKE waw is the best zombies for casual and hardcore players

[@ZombieNausea]

Now they ARE continuing Chaos, so I guess we'll see if they have what it takes to build on Blundell's story.

[@barsthehippie]

Honestly that first comment you read can be said about every map. People just don’t want to re learn how to play the game.

[@doubles0314]

Better get the popcorn and get ready for the ultimate Hot Takes video by Joltz... Oohrah!!!

[@SIGNAL.115]

Citadel des morts is the best map oat (I’ve played most zombies maps except some from iw and ww2) it is the best map because it is a mix between casual and complex. ee is fun, swords are a little underwhelming but they are still cool, but the incantations make high rounding fun and help counter the amount of amalgams that spawn.

[@levighwalker8255]

Hot take transit is a awesome unique map and I think the main thing that makes people hate it is the pap if once you opened it stayed open ppl would have like it a lot more that and a button at each bus location to call the bus to you

[@chieflunger]

Bo6 and cw could have been a part of the greats if they didn't have the armor system and support kill streaks. Cw also needed more interesting maps

[@FunkyMunkey00_]

11:37 that's the best comment yet

[@fancy00ne]

hot take : Terminus map design is so lame, the other islands have no usage except one ee part. U literally at the main island 99% of the time cuz there is no point leaving it.

[@YeezusGhoul]

46:25 I have problems still with Gobblegums, but for an entierly different reason. Which I will add is not only gobblegums. I'm paying 80-110$ (don't remember top of my head). You know what I expect? Not having in game purchases. At all. Including blueprints. Just go back. DLC's were the way. Paying to make the game easier is morally wrong. Don't own the blueprint? Unlucky, grind the game. No more ultra gobblegums? Unlucky, grind the game and hope that your gamble pays off... But if you spend X amount, you can have this weapon permanently unlocked. OR you can buy 1 TIME USES for a PvE mode. If there is ever an untracable exploit for free gobblegums I will abuse it. Because f that. Unlocking gobblegums through gameplay should've been the way :(

[@yessir0137]

Call of the Dead is one of the best maps!!!!!

[@gun_gamer1237]

Hot take: the elemental blades on citadelle des morts does not suck. With some skill it's actually really good, and I will die on this statement And also that some augments on melee macchiato makes the swords much stronger. I'm talking about stick 'n move, expresso and vampiric extraction. also you can't deny that's its 1 of the sexiest looking wonder weapons we ever seen in zombies.

[@angelguivas1862]

Real people just want brain dead melee where you don't think ruining the fun and finesse out of using it. It's good you have to think with the sword. We already have braindead melee wonder weapons 7 years ago

[@TheLegend-do6nd]

1:01:35 crazy buried take😭

[@ZombieNausea]

The new games not refilling grenades and tacts on Max Ammo is horrible.

[@gengarclefairy3475]

Not really an issue, on actual high rounds you essentially have infinite salvage=infinite equipment of ALL varieties if you aren’t mutant injection spamming every round

[@IdioKun]

I kind of agree on the DE one. I think its highly overrated. Its a better but smaller origins prmucy much. Its like top 10 but top 3? That feels off to me personally

[@clipzmma]

Nah DE is definitely the best plays to all types of player origins is close but mud+ Easter egg is very hard core. DE doable but provides challenge. Great for casuals and hardcore players

[@HeatSeeker19]

The cod zombies community is much too dependent on the opinions of KZbinrs, I love the community driven Easter egg hunts, but I feel like the general opinion just becomes what the popular KZbinrs have to say

Vulture Aid 🦅

[@dogollie2715]

15:42 so modern zombies doesn’t feel like zombies because it’s too much about zombies??

[@clipzmma]

The take is right but bad explanation it’s cause it’s warzone zombies not call of duty zombies

[@dogollie2715]

@ warzone zombies because there’s armor, crafting bench, and a loadout system that’s nothing like warzone? I got to be missing something big because this can’t be enough for people to call it warzone zombies🤦‍♂️

[@clipzmma]

@@dogollie2715what it’s literally Warzone atmosphere more than zombies and those are literally features straight from Warzone

[@dogollie2715]

@ first of all, Cold War? Sure it’s pretty close to being warzone atmosphere but currently no. If you want to make an argument that liberty falls is warzone atmosphere then you might have a case but terminus and especially citadelle there’s no cope that will give you a warzone feel. Second, the loadout system is from multiplayer so that’s my bad for getting confused there, and are we gonna get on OG zombies for letting you use grenades and sticky grenades because those are multiplayer? Are we gonna go after the OG perks because those are literally ripped straight from multiplayer? When you start to break it down you start to realize that besides MWZ and maybe Cold War, modern zombies is NOT like warzone🤷🏼‍♂️

[@clipzmma]

@ terminus=Warzone map island, with green gas tossed around to hope to change atmosphere . Supposed to be a complex map and just it’s easy and basic

[@Gabe-nh4bn]

Mega hot take citadelle is the best dlc 1 since de, and bo6 will dethrone ho3 if they play their cards right

[@yellowjellybabies9606]

Vulture Aid 🐦

[@derpysquid6595]

Genuinely believe the story in black ops 3 sucks. The maps are good but the story behind them stupid. It’s just blundel twisting the death into the grave of Jimmy. The story isn’t grounded on much but mythology and religion.

[@unclebeans7867]

I’ve never found the og storyline interesting. Maybe it’s because I wasn’t there when it was still developing (I started playing cod around Cold War season 2), but the characters and storyline around them always came off as kinda meh and underdeveloped. I feel the peak of aether storytelling was the stretch of waw-bo1. With treyarch planting seeds for richtofens betrayal throughout the maps and having it all pay of with the moon main quest was pretty interesting to see unfold. Nothing groundbreaking but interesting. Then again I’ve also always found ultimis as my favorite cast just because of the comedic angle they took with them. The serious stuff never works for me as I find primis to be far too serious and leaned too far away from the comedy side of zombies I like. I do think that bo6 is starting to find a nice balance of the two that has helped keep me invested in the storyline, like I really like the way they fleshed out Krafft and I’ve been genuinely invested with what they’ve done with Maya.

To me exo zombie will forever suck because it was the one and only zombie mode when you literally had to pay just to play the first map you don't even get a launch map it was almost 10 bucks for a extra mode that was free on another call of duty before it

The warzone UI and zombie drops just ruin the experience and takes away uniqueness in the games

[@oldjebidiahbrown2454]

SOE and DE are cheap imitations of Origins and Mob, and Zetsubou and Gorod are the best maps in bo3. Also DOTN is the 2nd best zombies map ever made, right behind Origins. It's really not a hot take, most of it is based in absolute objectivity. Just most people in the zombies community are dumb and care more about atmosphere and a game's systems rather than if the map as a whole is a fun and engaging experience. The dragon heads in DE are a chore while the dog heads in mob are expertly woven into the maps overall progression. The main EE is is just the whisp step twice, Sammatha say's twice, and an escort step. The side easter eggs are absolute garbage and give terrible rewards (the panzer rarely melee's you. The claw helmet is so useless.) The only redeeming factors of DE is the bows and the bossfight, and yeah they are pretty fun, but this is one of the least replayable maps in bo3 and it's a solid B tier at best. SOE is a little better, but still B tier for similar reasons.

[@twitchSYNXOW]

my hot take is that the community has gotten bad at zombies, people complaining about cold war, bo6 easter eggs being to hard to complete, go back to bo4, bo3, bo2 or iw as well and give one of the easter eggs a try, new easter eggs are a breeze and the community is just gotten bad because of simple maps and simple easter eggs.

[@angelguivas1862]

I never heard a person complain about the new easter eggs being to hard

[@gengarclefairy3475]

Homie probably couldn’t handle the mud or round 8 Panzer

[@FelixLobegeiger]

very hot take: shadows is insanely overrated

[@clipzmma]

Nah clearly top 3 and it’s treyarchs best work

[@dogollie2715]

9:39 just flip bo4 and WaW and this is my exact list 👍🏿

[@oldjebidiahbrown2454]

DE and SOE are painfully mid and are just cheap clones of Origins and Mob. They implement systems from both maps and have no idea how to use them in a way that feels meaningful. The dragon heads compared to mob's dogs feel like a such a chore, when in mob it's smoothly woven into the gameplay progression of the map and isnt the main early game objective. Same with the generators on Origins compared to the boring ass rituals on SOE. SOE has a half decent easter egg, but it's nothing really earth shattering. DE is just the whisp step twice, Sammatha says twice, and then a escort step but the bossfight is pretty alright. The wonder weapons of those maps are pretty cool too, but the main progression of those maps are cheap facsimiles of better maps that implemented them in a far better way. Not to mention DE and SOE's side easter eggs are terrible and grant terrible rewards, like how are maps and Zetsubou and DOTN so disliked by the community when they share non of these problems that two of the most liked maps, SOE and DE, have.

Technically, Citadelle has one (the power is on default) but it’s just get to the Oubliette Room, shoot the three locks, kill the Doppel, pick up the crystal and use it on the PaP crate lol

[@nathanblanton6304]

My hot take, the Aether storyline is better than the chaos and dark aether storyline. It's not blind nostalgia either, it's just good

[@entrypoint-nw9qp]

Hot take: The chaos story was the reason why tag der toten ending was horrible. Because it took away all the budget and left us with these horrible slide show cutscenes. Like you have this useless story that didn't even matter because it got ditched and left for dead yall could at least finish it for it taking away a good story. 🤦

​@@knotletis took them like 5 games to continue it

Tag ending was fine? Do you mean alpha omega intro and outro as well as tags intro? I mean yeah it had low budget but idk if that's chaos fault it's more the community fault of blind hate making so they can't support the game

[@entrypoint-nw9qp]

​@@angelguivas1862 tag ending was dog for one of the most important moments in the series history they decided to use the slideshow for a cutscene we be waiting for 10 years just for all of the characters end themselves and give us a unsatisfiable ending Chaos story has 3 maps (4 if you count dead of the night) with each of them having animated cutscenes thus taking away budget from the aether story and leaving us with slideshows also call of duty mostly ignores the community including the criticism so "community hate" wasnt a problem

[@entrypoint-nw9qp]

​@@angelguivas1862 also dont forget they also decided to make the great war just a intro cutscene in trash omega intro and keep it mind it was one of the most hyped things in cod
