In my opinion, this, despite its length, is the clearest and most easiest to understand version of the timeline and story I have found.

[@enbydeadly]

honestly, i think its cause of the length that it makes so much sense, i've watched like 30 minute videos and 3 hour videos and i never once heard half of the details that are in this

[@TheRealIconG]

I've been listening to/watching it over the past few days while I play video games, and I gotta say it's the best way to earn the story. Just play your game or do whatever you're doin, while off handidly paying attention. You'll get the big details, and if there's a point you're particularly interested in, just pause for a few moments and pay more attention

Our buddy told us he was gonna sit through this whole video and made it about 30 minutes in and never finished it.

After he passed away a few years ago I made a habit of going back through things he told us to check out and trying to finish things he never got a chance to.

Because they started as easter eggs in WaW. Treyarch didn't start making a background story for Zombies until Der Riese, and didn't have a main easter egg until Ascension. The easter eggs were also pretty secretive early on, with most players not even realizing a complicated story connected the maps in Black Ops. Even though they evolved far beyond easter eggs, the community that has been solving them over the years is accustomed to calling them easter eggs because of their origins.

Tank is the apple pie eating, baseball watching, all brawn peanut brain, Takeo is the humorless philosopher, Richtofen is the 500IQ sociopath and Nikolai is the drunken badass who will have to take on the responsibility as the hero of the story.

The fact that this is 6 HOURS LONG tells you just how impressively intertwined and well-built the Zombies storyline is

Came out of left field that JFK got a place in this. Kinda funny

Not entirely disagreeing but a long(/convoluted) story doesn't make it good

This is such an amazing video and I really want to thank you for putting in all the effort to make this. This is one of those videos that I will go back to every now and then and be amazed by the quality and depth of it. I'm a huge zombies nerd and this video will forever hold a special place in my heart. Thank you!

Den här videon är verkligen legendarisk

Man that bit at the near the end with all of them laughing and singing make me so happy. I’ve never been a huge fan of the ending, but I’m glad we got that at least

I know this video is hella old but this is by far one of the best videos Ive ever seen. After completely loosing interest in zombies midway through Black ops 2 and barely touching zombies in BO3 and not even in BO4 it was awesome to see a cohesive video that explained it all. Cant even imagine the hours and hours and hours of research into this video. Would love to see a cold war/MW3 zombies video in the same design!
