Let me guess... you were born after 1995?

>>724636013
Look, this mattered on Black Ops 1 when for some reason the developers decided to give you scraps for ammo

GobbleGums made the game more fun.

>>724637115
Correct.

Is Zombies even fun still? I havent touched zombies since Origins on Black Ops 2.

>>724637115
>completely invalidates perk choice and point management
and that's just one gum. can't you take like 5 of them?

>>724637115
I agree. The only issue is that they made them free at the beginning of every round in 3. Idk about any games after that though.

>>724637115
>pay2win shit
no

>>724637263
I picked up Cold War and Black Ops 6 on sale over the past few years/months, and I'd say it's still fun but worse than everything that came out prior. Cold War just had boring aesthetics, and while BO6's map design was much better, it was still not on par with what came before CW, and the easter eggs sucked for all of them by not being very engaging. It also has warzoneified the franchise; you have to upgrade your weapon's rarity by five tiers and pack-a-punch three times to get it to do max damage, and then you also have to apply and upgrade armor to complete your damage mitigation. You end up being able to tank sixteen hits in BO6, and that may sound like a lot, but to compensate, they made every zombie hit harder as the rounds progress and gave them super-sprinters out the ass while also dumping special zombies like it's going out of style. So the fun stops around round 50. I'd say if you can nab them on sale, it's worth trying, but otherwise you're not missing out on anything major. I do have higher hopes for BO7, though. I tried the beta and thought it was a lot better, but it will still likely not be as good as what came before.

>>724637115
I pair the XM-53 or Locus with Stock Option to avoid reloading early game.

>If you kill him, all of your ammunition is inexplicably refilled

>>724637263
Everything since Cold War is garbage. These days it's less Zombie Mode and more Warzone: Zombies
If you're on PC just buy BO3. It has Zombie Chronicles, excellent original maps, and mod support so you can play all the classic maps except Tranzit, Five, and Buried (they're already in development) and a bunch of new original maps that are often even better than the official content.

>>724638695
Outbreak was so fucking embarassing, I'm glad they didn't bring it back for BO6.

>>724636431
Sometimes you just slip up, anon

>>724638851
It just leaked into the main maps so now you have something like Terminus

>>724639012
I liked Terminus, it didn't feel as big or as annoying to navigate as Outbreak did, but I see what you mean with the way you have to get to the other islands (which barely offer any actual content compared to the main one).

>>724639109
I bet it's only going to get worse, just look at BO7 Tranzit.

Kek, what is this shit.
>>724639210
to be fair, Ashes of the Damned being inspired by Tranzit did mean it was going to be huge, they didn't understand the point of the bus though so replacing it with Tessie is a red flag.

>>724638998
Fair. Perhaps I was being too harsh. I'll learn to be a better man.

>>724637115
If they weren't terribly balanced, and if BO3 wasn't terribly balanced to begin with, maybe. But a combination of gobblegums, broken WWs, specialist weapons like the fucking sword or that shit on DE, the zombie shield, etc, all make the game braindead and boring.
Example: Alchemical gives you essentially 2 free max ammos every 5 rounds, which completely destroys the ammo balance. It's not even a fucking mega. Anywhere but here is the definition of a "get outta jail free card" and In Plain Sight is even better since you can revive teammates with it for free. And both have 2 uses. Holy fuck. The idea of random modifiers to the game or to your character to spice up the gameplay i like a lot, since zombies can get repetitive if you get into a groove, but gobblegums ended up being way too fucking much.

>>724635635 (OP)
>AMMO TO ZE MAX JA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>724639316
That's the thing, Tranzit wasn't big, it was a very compact map if you knew where to go.
And yeah, BO3 mods are nuts.

>>724639619
Tranzit had a very well designed layout for all the flak it got, being able to cut across the lava or cutting through in between bus depot and farm I think, to get to town was brilliant, not to mention all the small areas like Nacht or the hunter's shack. I do wonder if AotD will have anything like that, but I'm thinking not since they said that whenever you're outside one of the main areas the zombies get cranked up to 11.

>>724639813
The main problem with Tranzit is fog and lava and the upcoming BO3 fan remake will fix that. This already happened with Die Rise which went from being unplayable crap to one of my favorite maps with just a couple of QOL changes

>>724639520
>Why am I so heavy all of the sudden

I miss when this shit was just nazi experiments going crazy now its like im not even sure

>>724640325
>game takes interesting premise and over-engineers it until its unrecognizable garbage nobody cares about
Crysis did this too with its ayy lmao plot going into its sequels

>>724640325
By BO3 it felt like it was turning into an MCU movie :/

>>724640325
It went from Nazi experiments to the aftermath of those experiments

>>724640237
I hope they don't get rid of either completely, they add a lot to the atmosphere of the map, but I am looking forward to it, the Die Rise remake was great like you said, I hope they keep that level of quality for it and Buried. I know we're getting Five and someone's working on BO4 maps starting with Blood of the Dead so eventually BO3 will be the one-stop-shop for playing the game mode outside of going to the older games for atmosphere and specific quirks.

>>724640453
It was BO1 with the moon btw thats where Blundell said it himself "We just did whatever we wanted"

Apparently MW2019 was gonna have a zombie mode but they stopped it should IW try a modern day zombies again or bring back their Extinction mode?

>>724640513
They'll both stay, but be more forgiving. You'll have a further field of vision and lava will be less harmful since in BO3 you have more health and movement speed.
Buried is being made by someone else, but there are a bunch of problems there. At least devs are alive and working on the map as far as I know

Bo3 is still the best experience

>>724636665
worst map in the entirety of zombies

>>724640692
bring back extinction mode, it deserves another chance

>>724640692
>>724641305
Why did it flop, anyway? I remember it being fun.

>>724641372
I think it was less extinction mode was bad and more that people hated CoD Ghosts as a whole

>>724641036
>health bars

>>724641036
Yeah but for god's sake turn off all this UI garbage

ZnS is the greatest map of all time.

>>724641894
Was BO2 always that glowie? I remember it being more washed out.

>>724642638
This is BO3

>>724641445
Makes sense. I actually liked Ghosts but understand why people hated it. A shame Extinction became collateral damage.

>>724642849
Damn. Guy(s) did a great job.

>>724636531
Ignore all this newfag shit and play some World at war custom maps

>>724642878
It wasn't my favorite cod by a long shot, but I would've at least liked to have seen a sequel given how it ended on a cliffhanger.

>>724643141
Is that a WaW take on Mob? It looks fucking sick.

>>724643141
NTA, but too much of a hassle. BO3 maps can be downloaded from Steam.

>hear that black ops 7 is adding "classic zombies" for that classic gameplay feel
>look inside
>its black ops 3 balancing

>>724643467
I don't think we even know if they'll do that.

>>724643467
Sorry old man but no one gives a shit about any zombie games except BO3 anymore

>>724643467
you WILL see the healthbars
you WILL chew the gum
you WILL have the fake-RPG zombies

>>724643578
To be fair, there was probably potential for nu zombies, but that ship sailed a while ago

>>724635635 (OP)
Incredible how they managed to ruin such a fun mode with unnecessary bloat, shit maps, baby difficulty and the most uninteresting story and characters since the introduction of le dimensional space squids.

>>724644128
BO3 is still the best game.

Black Ops zombies lore has to be the worst lore in all of existence that is somehow passed off as deep and thought provoking by its fans

A gift from Sam?
BUT VHY?

>>724644935
I had friends who just modded in or cheated unlimited gobblegums, but typically the classic gobblegums were more than enough for me

>>724645419
I like the mod that just makes them completely random every time you buy them.

>>724645490
Honestly I'd fuck with that mod too, keep things interesting and it would make sense since that fucking machine would probably have a lot more than 5 gobblegums

>>724640325
They've been adding occult shit since Shangri-La at least.

>>724644426
kek

Saw a zoomer on another forum saying how difficult the original Blops zombies were. Really took me back to when it came out on 360 and i would stay up all night playing black ops zombies with randos online. I new how to maneuver and gather and manage hoards so id usually end up carrying the team.

>>724637803
>>pay2win
If you played the zombies even somewhat regularly you were completely inundated with more gobblegums than you knew what to do with. To the point where you'd have dozens of fucking perkaholic which was supposed to be rare.

>>724647010
Blops 3 makes you soft. Went back to the original Kino the other day after years of only playing the Chronicles version and got my ass kicked.

>>724647010
>>724647457
The zoomer fears the windmill.

>>724647448
This. Liquid Divinium drops often enough that you don't need to buy anything. I chalk it up to it being 2015 and the science of lootboxing was still being figured out.

>>724636665
Zoomers glaze this map like no tomorrow, it's SHIT and the catalyst to what made zombies the mess it is now

>>724636531

>fags are actually happy for transhit map for bo7
no thanks, im waiting for the bo3 remaster

I know people were making some good mods even way back in the WaW days, but BO3 really did revitalize this game mode into something special with just how open the SDK is. Its clear Activision understands this, too, as we haven't had an SDK since. Part of me wonders if it was a final "hoorah" from some veteran employees finally leaving the company so they forced it through first.

This slide is BULLSHIT.

>>724636531
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2100066846
>>724648926
The last “hoorah” from veteran developers was the killing of all characters and the destruction of the multiverse in the BO4 ending. Well, as we can see, it still didn't stop Activision from reviving them.

>>724649102
Well its hard to tell who stays with the company year to year, right? I haven't played with the SDK much myself but from what I can tell and whats exposed in it, you could pretty much recreate most Call of Duty games inside it. Like the focus is all on zombies but I'm not seeing whats stopping you from creating multiplayer overhauls that just port in all the WaW assets, tune the weapon values so they're the same, and you can even copy the movement.

>>724649203
>its hard to tell who stays with the company year to year, right?
Not really. We know that BO4 was a time when a lot of people left the studio for a variety of reasons.
And SDK creation was only allowed because at that point Treyarch could do whatever they wanted, they just made the best-selling Cod ever, no one could say no to them.

>>724640237
man I wish the BO3 "sale" wasn't such jewish shit. 30 dollars for all the maps??? Insane

>>724649707
It's still not bad compared to other cod games. BO3 with all DLCs and Zombie Chronicles is cheaper than BO2 with DLCs.

>>724649832
still way too much. I could stomach shelling 15/20 at most for all. But having the gal to sell it 30 after all these years, insane

>>724649929
They know people are only buying black ops 3 for zombies, so they probably know they can fleece some people out of 60 bucks

>>724650096
even keysellers got nothing

Hopped off the Zombie (well Cod in general) after Blops 1.
Why the fuck are the main story of new zombie maps called easter eggs?

>>724635635 (OP)
I don't want to spend $60 for a 10 year old game, but fuck I really want to play BO3 zombies again.

>>724650247
Honestly, that was a question that's been bothering me for years. I think at this point everyone just knows it as "the Easter egg" to the point where we just know them as such even if it's a misnomer

>>724639619
What map is that?

>>724650689
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3236556600&searchtext=tf2

>>724650247
>>724650506
The hidden radio/notes in the WaW maps and Kino were called Easters eggs and Ascension's quest was seen as an extension of that so the name stuck.

>>724650407
Then don't, silly. The game goes on sale fairly often. You can get the game with all dlc for relatively cheap. Or just pirate.

What did we think of MWIII zombies?

>>724651069
I skipped that one, did I miss anything?

>>724651027
The next sale is around xmas time.

What are some maps with non-spooky/dark atmosphere?

It's still wild to me that this mode killed its identity with cold war.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TS701bMxmSI

>>724651163
As much as I don't like BO4, it was the last classic zombies game. Cold War and beyond are made for a different player base.

>>724651230
I'm split on BO4, I really like the maps and weapon feel, but the perk changes and zombie aggression are a bit wild. Also Blood is a cool map and stands apart from Mob but its easter egg is fucking bullshit.

>>724651027
Honestly I don't see any problems with the price of BO3. It's like $30 for a game that you'll play for years
>>724651069
It's not even a real zombie mode, it's just DMZ
>>724651230
BO4 has excellent maps but overloaded game mechanics ruin everything. I really hope that one day BO4 maps will be ported to BO3
>>724651316
I like new perks but this whole system with only 4 perks on the map is just garbage

>>724650879
Yeah that's what I wanted to say but I can't into words right now

>>724651393
>>724651230
The maps in BO4 are amazing but Blood at least could use a touch up, originally they were going to have it to where you can go from the docks back to the lab which would make new industries worth returning since you can go from one end to the other and they didn't include it, so if modders ever get around to porting BO4 maps (and they should) I would appreciate that change.

>>724651393
I'd be fine with $30, but $60 is too much
