What Made World at War Zombies Terrifying...

Creator Note: I mistranslated Verrkut, it means "insane" not asylum, that's my bad. But thanks for the comments for correcting me.

Either way you are not wrong vurruckt is literally a insane asylum, it can either translate asylum, insane, or insane asylum well maybe not the 3rd one, also it "night of the damed", toten is "dead" untoten is "damed"

[@bearzdlc2172]

world at wars mechanics also made you feel like a vulnerable human soldier with no OP guns and stupid sliding shit or OP perks (not counting verrucks glitched juggernog) thats also what made getting the wunderwaffe so fucking epic since it was the only gun in the game just just would always one shot so many zombies, being weak and slowly becoming stronger but still risking dying in seconds if you make one wrong move is what made old zombies so fun, now you spawn in OP as fuck and can just breeze through the rounds like nothing. BO2 was the last zombie game that was fun and tough

[@PrototypeMaserArgo]

@bearzdlc2172 Yeah that's why I didn't like BO3 Zombies you felt like you were too powerful compared to the old zombies in which you actually felt like you surviving compared to future zombies in which you said your to OP

[@RylanTheWolf]

Wym about "glitched Juggernog"? Verruckt and Shi No Numa's Juggernog increased health regen by a large margin, so what was glitched in Verruckt?

[@PrototypeMaserArgo]

@RylanTheWolf I think he means when the zombies get electrocuted and if they survived they can disables Jugg,whenever they hit you

[@Trevor6714]

I think that the reason the first 2 cod waw zombie maps were so scary, is because there wasn’t any way to really “win” it’s not when will you win, but how long till you die? Knowing that death is inevitable, only getting things to delay it for awhile. Knowing you’re going up against something you cannot win against.

[@aviewer774]

Personally for me the reason why old zombies was so scary (and still iss the creepiest now) is because they weren't as decayed looking, allowing you too see their blank uncanny faces. Its weird seeing someone who was once able to express have a vacant unmoving look as they come full speed at you trying to kill you.

[@PrototypeMaserArgo]

@aviewer774 Yeah the uncanny of these zombies adds on to it unlike cod ww2 zombies, to me I think they are overly decayed, at first they were scary but it got boring to look at them.

[@chaseginise8968]

It’s not weird, it’s completely unnerving

[@FirstLast-mn4re]

I think a lot of the horror of Zombies was the feeling of helplessness and being trapped. I think Nacht Der Untoten and Zombir Verukt exemplify this this the best and make the player feel truly helpless. The maps also just felt a lot more claustrophobic. The other thing that made these two maps in particular feel more scary was the lack of the wise cracking playing characters, Dempsey, Nikolai, Takeo and Richtophen. It was just the player, the zombies and the ambiance. I'm not saying these maps were better for having less. I think Shi no Numa and Der Riese were obviously the better maps overall, but I think Nacht and Verukt had the better horror atmosphere. And thats partially due to understanding the world around Zombies less.

[@NurseAmamiya]

Another charm about the old WAW zombies was that you have a simple objective: survive as long as you can, and that's it. No overcomplicating steps for easter eggs, and no lovecrap bs.

[@themelancholia]

Cosmic horror was a part of the zombies story since 2009, we just didn't see it directly yet. Also, BO4 is easy to set up on in every map other than Dead of the Night.

[@SonOfIzalith]

​​@@themelancholia And yet bo4 and basically everything after bo2 has no charm whatsoever (soft spot for bo3 tho bc the gameplay felt really great) Too arcade, too colourful in a weird way, imo fighting aliens is trash, the story became boring and cliché and the thing I hate most is that newer zombies games take you by the hand SO much There's no point in saying easter eggs anymore, they're just quests, the game tells you what to do very clearly, has no storytelling it's all bluntly up in your face Back then you had to look for things, it made the community active, engaged etc

[@fromrawn9303]

There no cosmic horror in CoD Zombies at all. Just because the apothicans have squid features does not mean it’s Lovecraftian. The look was probably inspired by Cthulhu but in no way does the game have the themes of Lovecraft. It’s literally a flat out over the top whacky zombies arcade shooter.

I started with Kino on BO1 for the Wii. Man, I was TERRIFIED as a kid.

[@WillLauzon]

That map was how I was introduced to Zombies. Roomate had it and I played the first mission in Black Ops and was like "meh". So he fired up Kino and I was hooked and insisted we play it all the time, trying to get a route for min/max. He would buy the starting shotgun, but I would start using my knife and pistol to jew points until I could reach the MP40 or the sub machine gun in the room with the portraits. Good times. All the titles I own has zombies except for modern warfare, because by that point in time it was $5 in a bin, so why not? WAW I beat on Veteran and still say it was harder than BLOPS.

I generally say to the overall the most unsettling thing about world at war zombies was the atmosphere and sound design of the game, it gave off an Erie vibe and made the game feel more imerssive at the time, a great quality I still enjoy to this day.

What a great video, I think it was so raw and gritty as the overall visuals from the game wasn’t borderlands style, storyline wasn’t directly shoved in our faces and the music. God the music just compliments every scene perfectly! We could search and find our own conclusions of what has happened. (Some conclusions became reality when Treyarch fell in love with how the community thought.) It was genuinely a great time, not to mention the distinct lack of being able to just search and find the answers on google. Will happily patiently wait on your blops 1/2 video. Keep it up!

[@arandomaccount2057]

For me the reason it's terrifying is because I become a corpse when I get hit by a zombie from behind.

[@QuantumJUICE]

Good shit, I really miss this era of zombies, WaW and BO1 had the best zombies and Lore, it was such good use of assets and the horror aesthetic was beautiful. The writing was fantastic and didn’t hold your hand through the Easter eggs, it was a wonderful time. You could either play it regularly or unlock some cool shit by doing or searching for the next Easter egg

[@jazz1457B]

The thing about older cod zombies bo2 and older was the lore and back story of each map was believable and grounded. For me after origins it lost me with the multi-dimensional story.

[@DeadwaveCarrier-oc1wo]

Yes, I knew the original Zombie crew was based characters from campaign. Prolly the most recognizable fun fact of Zombies.

[@commander_eaa2862]

One thing I think helped carry zombies’s horror factor was its variation of horror and it being set in somewhat real locations with a sci-fi supernatural twist. Each map has its own flavor to scare you but connects well in a way, for example: Nacht is a slow build up to what will inevitably mow you down, Verruct is right off the bat trying to show off a active sense of being stressful and unnervingly bloody, “FIVE” had this liminal type horror with it being mostly clean but empty, Ascension felt like a just… disturbed place. Bo3 100% killed whatever horror factor zombies had, WWII Zombies was SOOOO close with its excellent zombie designs and atmosphere, but it misses the mark of why zombies was uniquely scary. Unfortunately I don’t think zombies will go back to it.

[@PrototypeMaserArgo]

@commander_eaa2862 I completely agree with you. with BO3 killing the horror factor, I was going to do a trilogy on this as I want it to go up to BO2. But what also killed the horror factor was COD going into a fast paced movement system, so they was no point in putting effort to the atmosphere as you have to constantly be moving , it's pretty bad with BO4, you can't take in the environment anymore, like these old games.

What makes it scary for me is that there's not much to tell on how the soldier you control ended up trapped at the starting area, he doesn't even speak and the dreadness of the map just makes it creepy apart from the growls of the zombies slowly walking towards you

[@zientdeveero6908]

It is sad seeing the horror aspect die off a bit, but i love the gameplay of BO3 so much

[@themelancholia]

Mangler, margwa, werewolf, wendigo, crimson vampire, nova infected zombies, Perseus, Eye of Odin, Stoker, Blightfather, Panzer, Brutus, dogs, Buried ghost, tigers, gladiators, clowns, the entirety of WWII, Rave Slasher, sasquash, mimics, plaguehounds, Breeder, Kraken. Dead of the Night werewolves and Infinite Warfare clowns are the scariest things in zombies by far. Doing high round camping and then a werewolf fuckin comes running at you. They are quite weak but they are really damn scary and make your screen shake and show up in very unexpected times, and are uncommon.

I like how the zombies decay overtime in nacht and verruct they look like they just turned but in der riese and kino they look decayed and old that's a cool detail from treyarch thats what made it interesting

[@averagecult]

Nacht's cut scene always gives me goosebumps. Iconic 🥹

[@beanother1an690]

An extra reason for Verruckt being so frightening is because the asylum it's in, Wittenau Sanatorium, is a *real asylum* in Berlin, Germany, and in the present day a plaque sits at its entrance as a memorial to those who the Nazis tortured and killed in asylums like Wittenau.

[@brandonkirk5236]

I remember the 1st time I played Zombies. I was at my friends house overnight and it was early the next morning. It was December and the weather was very much like in Nacht. Played for hours and Zombies became a staple of our friendship. Played every map on split screen all the way to BO3, then everything changed. Zombies was starting to change and it was too different. It was finally starting to get old as the years went on. Then we just kinda stopped.. I still play classic zombies here and there but honestly its never quite the same without my bro.

Amazing video man. Honestly the low quality and the bare bones production is a prt of the charm. Either way I enjoyed the video and you did a great job at articulating the horror and tense feeling waw zombies emitted even after all these years. One thing I have to say although very unrelated is that I wished zombies chronicles removed all bo3 weapons and brought in all waw and bo1 weapons. I feel like the bo3 weapons just feel out of place and breaks my immersion way too fast, the only reason why I hesitate to play it

[@TH3SLEEPING]

I just recently bought a rgh 360 and lemme tell ya, I fired WaW Zombies and was amazed at how fun it still is!

[@TREVORVADER]

World at War is still one of my favorites in this series. Has an this unique sense of tension and atmosphere that none of the games before or after can match. Zombies benefited from this greatly as it was creepy in s way I never felt after WaW. There was a haunting feeling to them and each map had a unique feeling as they experimented with different mechanics and designs in those earth days. I remember realizing in Verruckt and Shi No Numa that there was some vague semblance of lore. It was so fun back then finding all those details as time went on. Some of the favorite parts of my childhood right there. Verruckt is still one of the creepiest maps to this day. Speaking of Shi No Numa though. I remember playing my first match of it on release at like midnight without having read the description. Needless to say the dogs scared the crap out of me that night. Especially since I played on PS3 so it had extra dog round sounds that I didn’t know until recently aren’t present on Xbox and PC WaW. The radio used to creep me out as a kid too because all the radio sounds reminded me of the sounds from Aftermath in CoD4. I disagree on finding MotD scary at all. Overall find that map pretty overrated. Overall I’m happy to have grown up in this era of CoD it was an experience I wouldn’t trade for anything. I had the same sentiments towards BO2/3 zombies back then but my older self had come around to liking them. I only wish I’d appreciated them back when they were more active.

[@greenisgold1322]

This is the game that got me into COD Zombies. I first played it in 2008 & when I found out it was coming out on PS3 as BlackOps I bought it & never bought any other games for it. To this day Call of Duty BlackOps zombies is all I play

[@lNeml]

Old Zombies was scary because initially there was no storyline. You were legit just left behind on the battlefield only to find the Nazis had begun to reanimate. It was the sense of mystery and unknown that made it scary. The lack of music outside of the round changes and the easter egg songs also made it very isolated and amplified the alone/left behind feeling. The cutscene with the running zombie post credits implies this was the case.

[@jfd9616]

Verruct and nacht der untoten were my first maps Verruct was more scary, especially with the screams and faint cries of a baby in the distance, it still gives me chills when i played verruct. Not to mention, whenever you shot a zombies head off it would still run at you even though it was dead, which was also scary.

[@billfox847]

4:20 I thought I was in the minority when I thought that WWII zombies weren’t quite as scary as trearch zombies. They are very well designed don’t get me wrong, but there’s a little too much focus on grotesque body horror. The original zombies in World at War were human enough to hit the bottom of the uncanny valley for me with the glowing eyes and pale skin. The animations are what really give the zombies that unsettling feeling.

[@sowishful]

I was 10 when I first played zombies in 2008. My ps3 friend sent me a message asking ‘zombies?’. I was confused, thinking it was private match Michael myers. So I joined and when nacht started, I was astonished. I never knew there was this mode, as I didn’t play campaign. We’d play for hours all night, and I couldn’t play it without him as I never finished the campaign. He gave me all the map packs too 😢

I used to agree that Mob of the Dead was scarier than Verrukt, but recently playing i came to agree to something i hadnt considered. On another video or somewhere, a user described Mob of the Dead as an overdecorated haunted house, with too many hanging bodies and blood scattered all over to have a shock effect. Almost as if the map is trying TOO hard to be scary. I have come to agree to this over the years. IMO, MotD is not as terrifying as the WaW maps. MotD lacks an ambience that brings home the scare and mystique factors. I dont hear the haunting whispering voices, cries of souls of inmates being tortured, or metal creaking. It just doesnt match that unsettling disturbance that the WaW maps capture so well. Even the wildlife of Shi No Numa frightened me. Feedback: When you are discussing anything sound related, radio logs or ambience, in the maps, i would have cut the background music for those segments, sometimes it is difficult to hear what is described because even the quiet music mumbles everything. Altogether i am looking forward to your future videos, much excite!

[@yoavbenclaudia3073]

I preferred Nazi Zombies over Zombies, despite the latter having banger maps in the Black Ops trilogy, because it was a survival game mode with Easter eggs. Now the “Easter eggs”are just a story mode but with extra steps. It’s too over complicated. It became so convoluted, they had to give you a larger health pool just to survive. They fixed problems they made. Not to mention it made the stories convoluted. It was dinner when you had to figure it out yourself or watch theory videos explaining the possible lore through investigation. Now they pretty much tell it to you or even show you with cutscenes, often when you’re just trying to unlock PaP. It’s also why it’s less scary than WaW Nazi Zombies, because the Black Ops Zombies forced everything to the front, whereas the original was an unexpected reward (followed by DLC) and those first four maps hid their secrets in mystery for you to investigate. It made the “lore” more eerie and not some horror action movie. In short, Nazi Zombies are like Dead Space and maybe even Dead Space 2, but Zombies are Dead Space 3.

WaW Zombies is still scary! I'm 20 and it still terrifies me! Not for the same reasons though. Not because of the atmosphere and setting. But because the unpredictable movement of the zombies, and the fact that they are magnetic. They pull you in and don't let go until you're dead. Spooky stuff that zombie pathing and collision is. who knows? Maybe that added to the scary factor back then as well.

The reused assets have never been a problem for me personally Sure all the maps are reused from campaign and multiplayer * (Even Shi No Numa apparently which is apparently the DLC map knee deep but I don’t see it) But if you go through them, the creators have clearly and deliberately altered the maps for plaything them out Verrukt may be be from the campaign and multiplayer, but they all play and feel different in each of their modes The base in Nacht is only alike to the one on in airfield and campaign in layout. Each of them are unique
