Is Citadelle des Morts the BEST Zombies Map in YEARS?!

Mechanically, the Doppelghast is the best boss in the game so far.

Honestly, the map isn’t even small if you think about how many levels there are especially in the castle. However they 100% need to buff the swords (swing rate, amount of zombies it can kill in one swing, and also extend durations of some special attacks) other than that it’s a 10/10

What more could you want?

[@MegaXis]

The swords have passive effects when fully charged (I.e lion sword recharges your armour when killing zombies with normal sword swings). The sword can also be optionally used in the boss fight to stun lock the boss by parrying it’s attacks. Edit: Also I think using incantations also recharges your sword, need to test more.

[@salutations6370]

Parrying is so good

[@Savanty]

I feel like those passive effects should be active at all times while using the elemental variants not only when charged

[@tylermasters-barbosa3673]

if you combo this light sword passive with the augment with melee macchiato that heals you on every kill, you get armor and health on every kill. You can literally face tank zombies and as long as you are getting kills you won’t die it’s insane. you are so safe using it.

[@stonalisa3729]

They didn’t recharge my sword

[@mmuklewicz14]

So I've heard alot about the passive of the lion sword but not so much the other swords. Do you know what the other passives are? It seems to me like the passive is that they just also get the effect of the associated element ammo mod which triggers randomlyish. Which is kinda meh when I can do that with a gun easier and from a safer range.

[@ItsNifer]

I think a lot of people have Recency Bias, where people would almost forget about older maps in the context of the current map. They're comparing CDM from the last 4-5 years of zombies, and instantly claim it as "S TIER OMG!!" but obviously in the last 4-5 years... we've been getting comparatively "worse" maps than that from WAW-BO4, but in the last few games (CW-BO6) this is absolutely the best Dark Aether map we've had.

[@GamerBully]

Exactly right. It may well be the best map in years. Because we've had mw3 zombies and Vanguard. Sooooo. Not much competition. I think I may prefer Terminus to this personally, but that could change. I don't think it's fair to judge when the map has been out a little over 24 hours.

Just need to make the wonder weapons stronger and have a better visual on charge level other than glow

[@winnipoodoodleido]

The main ee has "finally" been solved? It took like 3 hours after launch for some people to beat it on their first or second try because its so easy. Nothing conpared to old zombie titles where it took at least 1 or 2 days. I had hoped that its a little more challenging

[@alexlolli2325]

These are people who been playing zombies for a long time and very good, it’s basically their job to do this. It still takes a lot of skill. Let me see how long it takes u to beat this map with no guides. And to be fair they playing in squads, 4 brains, and just overall faster then what 1 person would do. Especially because 1 and 2 never had online zombies.

[@winnipoodoodleido]

@alexlolli2325 Yeah I know but all that was also true for the last games and it also took them longer to beat it and it was a longer challenge for the whole community and it didn't take only 3 hours

[@salutations6370]

If classic mode ever does come out I feel like this map is going to be shot up to S tier

[@nikitaanikeev1884]

But to be fair I think they didn’t want to make the sword too op considering it has unlimited ammo and you can still have two guns AND the sword

[@TheFreakiestBob]

MOTD, Origins, DE, Ancient Evil, IX, Citadelle Des Morts. My top 6 maps in no particular order

[@tetragem1887]

I’m personally a puzzle fanatic, and I want more puzzles, there will never be enough puzzles. Turn ya brain on if you’re doing an Easter egg. If you don’t wanna turn your brain on maybe Easter eggs aren’t for you

[@mrclutchy420]

I think the terminus boss fight much easier then the guardian. In terminus you can just jump in the water as a get out of jail free card and that makes it automatically easier in my book

[@ethyu7467]

have we determined whether the swords have a second upgrade quest? like the staffs in origins.

[@graysonloar9716]

I disagree with the sword take. 1 the void and light sword have no fall off, I went to round 45 with both and had no problems. 2 in the boss fight with swords, why would I use my sword up close, against a boss who has a close range attack like the bosses stomp. 3 if you want the swords to hit more enemies, use the melee macchiato perk and augments, it’s literally made for melee weapons. But other than that I agree with your takes.

[@Joeofthedragon]

Best since Ancient Evil

[@ahmedtetauni2813]

Definitely one of the best we've ever seen

[@DeadMetal75]

It’s very close between terminus and citadel but citadel takes it because of the magic and puzzles

[@LSB44446]

It's reputation is gonna be marred by the VA changes though, cuz I doubt Activions/Treyarch will budge on that

[@FlaminHotChips]

It really is a top 5 map for sure

[@Lee2k4]

I wouldn’t say it was the best map but it’s definitely a challenging one

[@EyehatePersona5]

I think it’d much better than the other 2 maps. I like it more than at least half the Cold War maps too. I kind of wish we went back to full on claustrophobic maps or areas that have one way in with the escape being the area you came in. But this map is pretty vlose quarters I’ll admit

[@doubleupload5620]

Yes but it literally has zero competition the last good map I played was spaceland but I never played the dlc or bo4

[@lilbackpain1924]

short answer yes it’s the best map we’ve gotten since ancient evil

[@Nahyan_971_]

They need to buff the swords a lot.

[@xwers1234]

They need to stop all the graffiti but the map is a 10/20 aura

[@MrHastygamer]

I know nothing about astrology and don’t want to so I’ll have to look it up every time 😭 outside of that it’s a lot of fun. The math puzzle was good though because math is a good skill outside of CoD too.

[@calamityarmityle3086]

Feels alot like Ancient Evil and dead of the night and is so fucking fun and cool

[@gr1m5H4d3]

the swords really should kill more than one zombie

[@ColeCuso]

Terminus better imo

[@chaseperri9849]

I respect your opinion Terminus is a great map. I do think citadelle just has more to it.

[@cabby4223]

Fk no

[@it2spooky4me79]

While I love Terminus, I like Citadelle a lot more, probably a bias towards me because it had Chaos elements in it and is basically a Chaos map.

[@ColeCuso]

i’d rather just play der eisendrache

[@chaseperri9849]

@ two completely different style castles but ok dude

[@SamKrumme]

If it was more colorful n had atmosphere like bo3 maps had it would be up there.
