As a fellow moon enjoyer, I completely agree. Back when it came out, my 12 year old self was pretty lukewarm on it, but coming back to it in Black Ops 3, it's quickly become one of my favorite maps

Remember my first time playing moon, I was 10 or so and I decided to play with randoms for whatever reason, I can't explain the disappointment I had when I didn't actually get to make it to the moon cause everyone didn't get to the teleporter In time. I played by myself and finally made it to the moon, of course I kept dying and dying and dying but eventually through out the years I've managed to get good at zombies enough to actually get to high rounds, but I gotta tell you, I miss being bad and dying on round 5, something about the mystery of what was happening in the maps, always wondering what was behind that next door, always wondering what new crazy weapon was in the box, and coming to realization on what those colorful soda machines with the catchy jingles actually did. Those where the times where zombies was mysterious and honestly...Kind of scary, something about sitting in that main menu strapped to that chair, watching the room go red as you hear the zombies theme with banging on the window where Hudson was once looking down upon you at, and seeing TV screens showing where there was zombie outbreaks around the world and seeing people being experimented on, it was a full blown nightmare...A nightmare that I wish I could have again.

I used to be straight up ass at this map, but i am sooo glad i took the time to play it out when i became better at zombies. This map is very rewarding if you take the time to use what skills you've obtained in other maps, and apply them here. Now moon is an absolute breeze, and isn't as hard/scary as it used to be. Granted, it is still very punishing, but its not impossible to manage.
@SeveralDolphin82 жыл бұрын
Moon has always been magical to me. Something about going into space, the Astronaut who used to always be some random guy off my friends list, the mysteriousness of the map. The risk reward of no mans land, and wondering what was there? Why do we spawn there? And being a kid who was heavily interested in the zombies story already, everything coming to a head with The Richtofen/Maxis story arc truly made this map feel like the ULTIMATE finale. Maybe Im alone, but Black Ops 1 was the last time for ME personally, that zombies will still, *Zombies* our four characters, a new park every map, a different new gimick aswell. Looking back, I have love for transit and BO2 but, it changed everything from that mystical atmosphere, which I dont think I could miss any harder if I tried. So, I'm glad there is people like you that were raised on this game like me, and still give it the love and appreciation this masterpiece deserves. Cheers to the days of Moon, and to the days of Good OLD zombies.

I never realised you get points for just holding onto the hacker. Is that a thing in bo3 too? Moon is such a good map! I've also noticed people tend to prefer "safe maps" and rag on maps like this that tried to do something different. Der Riese/The Giant, Kino, Ascension, Der Eisendrache, Gorod Krovi are all fan favourite which are all pretty safe. Whereas I find I enjoy maps that are more unique and less popular. I love Call of the Dead because of George's Perk and the very unique wonder weapons, but people hate it for the same reason. I love Moon for the reasons you said but some people hate it due to gravity/air, jug every-other-round and the EE RNG (Which is annoying tbh). Die Rise is very controversial, and sure its not for everyone, but it provides a zombies experience like no others and Who's Who can really come in clutch, being limited to the starter pistol and no perks make it all the better when you pull of an epic revive (Or in coop you can just train the zombies away from your body while a team mate revives you). Zetsubou no Shima always has something you can do with the plants every round, it has the coolest specialist weapon and IMO it has the fairest EE in BO3, yet people keep complaining its a "hard map" (As if GK isn't) and is buggy? I do enjoy those safe maps too, but idk how people who only play those maps don't get bored. They're all same-y to me, got to have some more variety.

There's also the Quantum Entanglement Device or whatever it's called, I believe it has a variety of uses, but the most notable one is that I believe if you throw it at a perk machine, it can either give you the perk for free, or spawn a red perk bottle which can be grabbed by either players OR zombies, and if it is grabbed it removes 1 perk from all players. Edit: after reading the wiki, I believe the anti-perk bottle is just one of the effects, and it is able to spawn a regular one as well. Throwing it at a perk machine supposedly will just give the perk to all players

It's a cool map, but I feel like they really dropped the ball on the remaster when it comes to polish. It's easily the buggiest map out of them all. Crawlers especially love to get stuck in the air. There's also risk of instadown on some spots, which is unacceptable. Visually the remaster is a good alternate take on the original. (Though not necessarily better or worse in my opinion)

Fortunately, I haven’t personally encountered any game breaking glitches, but there are plenty of little details that bother me. Grenades are not affected by low gravity, you get round completion XP every time you go to Area 51, the space suits no longer have an intercom, and I don’t really like that you can only play as Richtofen in solo (I know he’s necessary for the quest, but I wish they found a workaround like in DE). Overall it’s nothing that ruins the map, but it does feel like a little more time could have gone into it.

Also something that i missed, the firdt dogs that spawns have 1knife health and also the zombies,as soon they start to run, can get killed with 2 knifes stabs, so you can get 3-4 xtra kills after thr zombies will start to run, but again, be patient

The big thing I hate about moon is that it’s 100% designed for 4 players and it exists primarily for it’s Easter Egg. Most of the irritating things about it are a result of one of those two things. Having Jug potentially be out of reach for far more rounds than normal? Not a problem with a team, incredibly dangerous on solo. A 4,250 point cost just to reach power, let alone get where you actually need to be? Manageable with a team, incredibly painful when done solo. Door hacks taking 30 seconds? Completely feasible with support, virtually impossible without it. Moon is an incredibly cool map and a map that I’m trying to get really aquatinted with because of it. However the more I play, the more of these things I notice. I appreciate what it does and one day I hope to know it as well as I know Der Riese. Regardless good video friend. Also the wave gun/zap guns are better than the thundergun, fight me.

Moon is a very original map, but it is not the best. It brought a lot of new ways to play, but failed the execution. Moon flaws are too big to not be considered and it joins Tranzit for being a map with a lot of missed potential. In short, Moon is amazing and awful at the same time.
