This egg has had so many steps and uncredited winners that.. a team even lied about being worlds first?

Where would you rank Shang Ri La amongst the other zombies maps in the Black Ops franchise? 🤔

[@arran4285]

No idea why you reuploading them from your other channel

[@ryu4207]

@@arran4285 okay, i’m not crazy. i knew evan had done videos chronicling zombies once before but couldn’t find them for the life of me. i could be wrong, but these do feel different than his previous ones

Keep making these for all of the maps please! Us die hard zombies fans literally scrape the internet for anything cool like this about the game. Appreciate you bro.

Back in the day, his Borderlands 2 videos were a Godsend.

[@junque_muppetO...O]

@@RohanSpartin Yeah, i remember his last Video I watched was about Clark the Combusted Cryptkeeper, and soon after, Morningafterkill delivered the News he was like the Roflwaffles of Borderlands for me and through his guides I could tell my Real-Life-Buddy were to summon, find, etc. Secret Stuff

[@RohanSpartin]

@@junque_muppetO...O Yeah. At least he never got to see how bad Borderlands got afterwards. The Lilith DLC and BL3 are rough. Though he would probably have liked how Legendaries work in BL3. Especially the Doom shotgun.

[@sirksees]

Richtofen's line when seeing the meteor "... I must have it in my pockets" well at the end of the easter egg you can literally put it in your pocket. Nice.

[@Melonmunch4lunch]

Shangri indicates its on mars by the moon which makes the eclipse which has the shape of a mars moon. And in the background you can see another moon which has the exact same shape of the other moon from mars. Mars has 2 moons

[@4.G.K.]

Phobos & Deimos ✌🏼... with kind regards from Doom Slayer 🤗

[@TheMysticalTank]

This EE was the bane of my existence on BO1. It took me a long time to complete it. The spikemore step in particular was awful. Not to mention the napalm zombie rng.

i have a great idea to make weapon crafting work like a slot machine cost 15 strange coins. The good news is that you can still have weapon crafting, but in a way that works for grinders and non grinders.

[@Luckydave123]

THIS IS A COD VIDEO

[@UAa320]

I remember playing Shangri-la a couple of times, but always remember it as being a challenging map.

[@senpafl4405]

Thank you so much for these recaps! For the older games it's a trip down memory lane. I was there when the history was written and CoD years were some of the golden ones. For the newer ones, it will be a good way to get a glimpse of what came after I quit CoD roughly 10 years ago after OG MW3.

[@seanp1315]

I absolutely love this series. It's so nice to relive what was truly peak gaming. Why don't we have more experiences like this I cannot understand.

[@munchiethethunderking]

Ill never forget this egg run my first public lobby had a group of 3 and wanted to do the egg and we first tried it.

[@johngonzalez8146]

U can only do it with 4 tho

[@matthewgerlach5775]

its funny because Eddy told us exactly what we were gonna do at the beginning "I wanna put it in my Pockets!"

[@montedjmontedj]

It was bo3 that revealed Shang is on mars. That’s when we received the chronorium that tells every detail

you forgot that the skybox file for shang was called "mars"

[@Christianthemagician_]

Your videos are top notch, watched your moon video yesterday and now this!

[@serenitygarden4982]

These videos are so damn good, I’ve been wanting to do this exact video format for so long but I didn’t think I’d have the time for all the research, it’s amazing to see an idea get visualized and get to experience it from a different view

[@ianwells8288]

13:10 thought he wasn’t gonna say baby maker then he did I was geeking out lol

[@JAOResnik]

To clarify Shangri-la's location post retcon: the normal version of the map in on Earth, eclipse mode is on Mars

Gary sound like he belong on scooby doo. can anyone else hear him saying zoinks? 😂😂😂😂

Great video something I would be interested in watching would be you making the same style video for revelations and another one for blood of the dead because I just remember how chaotic the easter eggs were at the beginning

[@BeefyCats]

Bro no way did Sharp and bigtymer find the egg first! They are both legendary professional cod players. That’s so cool.

the easter egg achievement is one of the rarest if not the most rare achievement i have to this day which is still kinda funny that less than 1% of players finished it on the xbox atleast

[@MrHawksrule95]

Yes lmfao I never noticed that

[@eastcitrusboy]

Love how he said they took a break in Siberia when they they were fighting for their lives 😂

[@glazed32]

Also, I don’t think the symbols are the elements of 115. I think they just were trying to use symbols that weren’t well known to try to confuse some people. Also essentially what you guys are doing as the crew is going back in time and slowly helping Brock and Gary get out of the temple that they’re trapped in. Baby gun is really unique and kool! 🎉 And no, I don’t really think Shang is an underrated map. Anyone who played the OG’s knows how much of a banger the wonder weapon and map is. Easter was dope too and the time loop twist is really good I remember missing the radio the first time and wondering why they didn’t take the stone in the past!

[@dawsonbiermann4866]

I look forward to every one of these

[@Taspens]

Eyo more Easter Egg videos! Cant wait for BO2 and BO3

[@1upJeCK]

So BigTymer somehow retires from pro cod to becomes worlds first in zombies... wat a guy

[@acesghost]

17:00 115 is an element. Not a compound. So the story goes.

[@Alcodane]

From what i could find the DNA looking symbol is associated with either 'Ujammaa' or 'Yenisei E', Ujamaa means Cooperative Economics and the other is just an ancient Turkish alphabetical character. The grouping of horizontal lines on the vertical line from what i could find is the 'Cross of Salem' which is a symbol used by Scottish Freemasons.

[@evanf1997]

wow! thanks for the info dude, I wasn't aware of that!

[@Capt2000_Price]

Was this reuploaded?

[@aquativity2907]

There is no way you said “ a player named sharp from 360 icons” with BigT in the video as if they are some randoms

[@0condolences]

13:10 that is NOT a diamond

[@kps393]

How can those symbols be the "elements of 115"? Element 115 is its own element.

[@AnthonyMartinez-fx8pr]

Made when game developers followed their own advice and not gamers. Destiny used to be like that.

[@iVETAnsolini]

I believe destiny is literally the start of the modern day gaming bs we see in the industry. That marked a significant turning point

[@Devistator66]

Tag Der Toten + The Revised Moon loading screen from the comic all point towards Shangri-la teleporting to & from Mars during Eclipse Mode

[@nickmacias00]

There’s still more hints that could possibly imply that Shang is on mars during the eclipse mode, like the lunar eclipse for example where the moon definitely doesn’t look like earths moon and looks more like mars’ moon Phobos

[@ThexVaultxTech]

Oh, they just made a secret which confirms everybody's beliefs as a joke? Haha, that's hilarious. How did you learn that? Kind of odd they would waste development time and resources on something that wasn't even actually part of the game, isn't it?

[@JackRippa-bq9qo]

I don't believe it was just a reference. You don't know what was going on in their mind or what was the intention of that ee to just say its just a reference it could be a confirmation which is what it most likely was

[@Z0MB1ESLAYER115]

@@ThexVaultxTech You know we are talking about cod zombies here right? the mode where they throw in ciphers for its community to solve? only a few years before when the remaster moon they added space dog, and have a memorial tribute to George on tag itself. Its not surprising to think they'd go "hey remember when everyone though shang was on mars? well do this arbitrary, or at release of the map unknown, method on the flinger and swim for a while and you'll see mars and hear the shang loading music."

Not to be like that guy, but Mr. Raffel waffles covered all of zombies and the zombies storyline yes yours is a little simplified and easier to follow. but there is way more information and reasoning why people thought Shang was on Mars the loading screen for starters looked like a foreign planet with crop circles and a giant tornado and maze, red everything not to mention the monkeys would launch up into space with your perks. The last time we saw monkeys like that was in the Ascension and they were all Astro monkeys, And then there was also the big debate about the mountain range in the far distance matching a weird mountain range in a part of Mars called the Devils eye.
