I'd imagine that CW ends on a cliffhanger which leads us into a prequel of Omega first discovering things about the DA. After the vanguard story ends by showing the particle accelerator being shut down or restarting, it leads into the cod2022 zombies which will take place in the 2010's (i hope).

[@Epop_]

@@j.s9893 Omega Group was formed on August 30th, 1975 and we have the Requiem memo from William J. Casey to President Reagan dated to 5 Nov 1983. Vanguard can't use Requiem or Omega because they wouldn't have even existed. Given the return of Captain Carver Butcher from WW2, I think it's far more likely they'll be integrating aspects of WW2 zombies, and specifically the Bureau of Archaic Technologies.

[@mrpancake8889]

Unfortunately I’ll probably just skip on vanguard unless they prove that zombies is phenomenal. Just can’t justify purchasing that game with everything going on lmao

[@trasker6744]

Die machina was good, not remotely as good as most maps that came out after bo1, but a good starting point for a new story. Firebase Z instead felt really underwhelming, tho still a lot of fun to play. Outbreak is a good concept but outside of objectives there are only small groups of zombies so it gets boring after 3-4 world tiers. Mauer der toten felt like an actual zombies map, big and with plenty of challenges. I'm gonna look forward to the next map, hopefully it will be just as good as the classic ones. Cold war had a mess of a launch, tons of glitches (mostly on PC), the multiplayer was unplayable, and very few maps to choose from, but as seasons went on we got quite a lot of stuff to do. It's a shame you're going to move to Vanguard instead of adding more content to cold war, but i guess it wouldn't be Call of Duty anymore if we didn't have a new game every year and leave the older titles to rot. I am not interested in Vanguard since it looks and plays like a 70 dollars mod for Modern Warfare, so I'm gonna skip it, but either way, good luck with the zombies and dark aether storylines.

[@malachibadillo6880]

I would consider giving Vanguard a chance. Treyarch is only working on the zombies portion of the game so this game actually has a decent chance at having the most quality content we have had in a while.

I miss the old zombie mechanics. By that I mean just perks, guns, and survive. I don’t like how they have different perk tier levels, different types of point systems, scorestreaks, armor, and a map. There are a lot of things on the HUD not as crazy as BO4 but still got plenty of things. I don’t like the new zombies. But oh well

[@Instant613]

@@xxthewerewolfxx4445 tbf the tiers add a grinding system to try to add replay ability. I don’t think that’s the issue. Armor is preference it adds another layer of strategy trying to maintain armor throughout high rounds. I think the main issue with Cold War is the warzone like hud which actually removed a lot of vibe to zombies and the unique 4 characters. If vanguard makes the 4 characters you play Kravchencho, peck, maxis, and weaver that would be fucking sick
