Requiem is normal gameplay but with omega trying to kill you, omega is on the offensive attacking requiem to force them out of the urals and the zombie team is against everyone. Maybe omega needs to protect some terminals containing data but it’s mostly just attacking requiem

[@garrettwilson2626]

I spent these last 10 years traveling in, out, and between different dimensions, surrounded and pursued by beings that were less than human. During that time my mission was to become more than human. Not only did I travel and discover different parts of the world, but I also used a very large variety of different weapons and gadgets, with only 2 ways to get them. One way was on walls, known as "wall-buys", the other was from a crate known as "the mystery box", now the mystery box would give you any type of weapon you could think of. There was just one problem with the box. Luck. Sometimes you got good weapons such as an RPD LMG, or bad weapons such as a ballistic knife. But sometimes you wouldn't get a weapon at all. Sometimes it would give you a teddy bear. Now, if you got a teddy bear, you were mighty fucked my friend, cuz then, the box would disintegrate, then you'd have to go look for it again. During that time, I had 2 priorities: one was to survive the endless hellish hordes that satan himself would throw at me, the other was to give my weapons a little boost in stopping power and reliability. This "jump" was called the "pack-a-punch". Now, if you had 2 pack-a-punched weapons, you were God in an unholy world. But you can't always rely on guns to do the work, which is why I consumed bottled products known as "perks", such as "juggernog", "stamin-up", "speed cola", "double tap", and "quick revive". Each perk having it own unique way to make you untouchable. As far as gadgets go, there were grenades, knifes, and other things like mines. But there was that one very favorite of mine, "the monkey". Its a type of explosive attached to a toy monkey with a distinctive sound that would attract hordes into a large group, and blow them up all at once. And I gotta say, it was pretty damn effective, and critical to have on you at all times. It saved lives, including mine. 10 years I've been doing this. 10 years of shooting. 10 years of consuming. 10 years of running, more like sprinting. But know it's your turn. Just remember one thing: *DONT. GET. CORNERED.*

Controversial take, but Cold War's Outbreak was the most fun i've had doing zombies, let alone COD in general. I loved how each round you visit a new area and each area was like a massive open world with quests to get better weapons etc, easily the best content we've gotten

[@miniaturetirtuga5484]

Yall this makes me feel nostalgic ngl because the og song from zombies is called damned and this is called echoes of the damned and it makes me feel like even though the old story ended there is still some remains of the history in zombies before this. Another example of what I'm trying to say is the sound when you start a new round in CW Zombies (the little 3 notes you hear) are so quiet and in the older games they were super loud and to me it's like reflecting back to the older games and it sorta feels like it's saying "Dont forget, this was what the old crew had to deal with, even though it's not as bad as it used to be, the threat is the same.")
