Your description of Origins was perfect. I remember for a while when it first came out, I had no clue what the easter egg was or how to build the staffs. I just played it like it was another zombies map. Like it was Kino. But then I discovered this whole new layer of zombies under just the survival.

@@davemac9563 what are the reasons to dislike it? The only one I can find that’s an actual critic is that for the Easter egg you basically need 4 people, but that can b said for multiple maps throughout the series since Origins. But other than that, the rest of the stuff is personal preference like maybe not liking having to turn on 6 gens, the gens having the chance to turn off while your across the map, not liking how slow you are in the mud but you can nitpick shit like that for every map, like he said in the video objectively and fundamentally from gameplay design, to map layout to the mechanics of black ops 2 are peak. it is one of the best top 10 bare minimum and honestly prolly top 5 for being a pioneer for alot of the zombies maps you love today. Without Origins, so many maps cannot exist, and that’s a fact.

I absolutely hate treyarch for getting rid of Takeo, Dempsey, Edward, Nikolai and replacing them with unbelievable boring, bland non funny characters. I laughed everytime the orignal crew made some fun, dumb, self referenced quotes, and then you get snore crews... And even after so many years of playing bo1 consistently they still could surprise me with a quote I never heard before... Kino, I was playing as my fave Nikolai and on the stage waiting for a new round he dropped this quote: "oh I think I am all alone now, seems like no one is round anymore". I busted in tears because I know that treyarch made a refence to one of the greatest 80s song ever.... Or on Shangri la when I think Dempsey is asking treyarch to get some new ideas... Or stuff like "yeah yeah I know find a, switch or power yeah yeah"... Or "dont you find it strange that these ancient ruins have a power switch"? This is what I really miss...

I definitely think putting Tag Der Toten as the second-worst map is a little bit upsetting. I definitely wouldn't say it is a top-tier map or anything, but I think the layout works as it seeks to incoporate the new areas naturally into the og layout. You can also craft tnt to make shortcuts or hold onto it to get rid of fire zombies. Can even make training in water viable with the heat pack. It has the most wonder weapons to mess around with in BO4 and it felt the most relaxing to play. I get why you don't particularly like it and that makes sense! I just feel like putting it that low is a bit harsh.

Shangri-La was the first easer egg I ever did. Going to the top of the pyramid and getting all 8 perks for the first time as a kid was insane

This is a very controversial take but I actually like cold war zombies. It’s the most fun I’ve had with zombies for a while, and playing on mnk makes it more fun too (I don’t own any other cod zombies game on pc). Tbf I only did recently buy cold war and yes it’s quite easy compared to other zombies maps. But I do like the operators but they could be improved. I never really adored the crews in the other games but that could be because I’m not a die hard lore fanatic or really got attached to the characters or was a die hard fan either. And I have tried few easter eggs or easter egg steps on zombies and for me personally I get bored. Like it’s fun to do if you can do it but I much enjoy playing zombies to survive and get high rounds. Zombies was fun for me when I was playing on the 360 on split screen on BO1 or BO2 zombies. Even playing those titles on my Xbox one solo was quite fun. But I don’t care about the crew as much as other people, but for future installments it would be cool for them to add an option for a default crew or operators. I just personally like self expression, I like expressing myself as my own character in my own game. I don’t want to be a character that doesn’t fit my personality or has their own defined morals and beliefs. Yes for story purposes it’s a good thing to have those traits but I don’t play zombies for the story. Tbh I don’t even really like the story either, I’ve watched quite a few hours of documentaries on all the story and yeah it’s just really not my thing. But cold war is refreshing for me, first zombies with crossplay which is super inviting to play with friends and not feel forced to play on a certain platform. I also like using mnk because it feels more engaging to play (however you could argue that all cod zombies games can be played with mnk, but most of the games I own are on console and my friends too. Cold war would be a lot better if it was made harder. But considering the game being out for 2 years and my teammates still dying constantly in random lobbies, maybe it was a good thing the game was made easier lol. But cold war would of been super cool if it had a dark aether map where you have to escape into the real world and either have a boss fight in the dark aether or have one when you enter the real world to stop the force from overtaking the world. It would also be cool if during that bossfight the player gains unique abilities granted from the dark aether similar to how Maxis got her powers. And maybe during the ee steps give small buffs that lead up to the omega boss buff. But that would be hard to balance out to make the ee not feel like it’s required. That’s the issue with cold wars ee is that it feels like you’re disadvantaging yourself by not doing the ee. Like on the first map you can get a guaranteed gold weapon and a free jug from doing the coffin dance ee. As a player not doing that ee puts you at a big disadvantage which it shouldn’t, ee should not feel like they are needed to be known to gain gen advantages. But this is my rating of all the black ops games (I have not played world at war and stuff so I can’t rank those) 1. Black Ops 3 2. Black Ops 2 3. Black Ops 1 4. Black Ops Cold War 5. Black Ops 4 Tbh I like all of these apart from bo4. I played bo4 multiplayer and zombies for a long time because that’s when I got a console I could play whenever I want and yeah it was fun for a while but tbh specialist weapons are way to op. Also kinda forgot you could only pick 4 perks. I always picked the same ones to help perserve my life longer and help get up incompetent teammates up easier. So their idea to make loadouts unique and change the style of game rather then using jug, double tap, speed cola, stamina up, quick revive every game, kinda flopped. Because you would just use 4 of the same perks in bo4 anyways. I also played quite a bit of BO1 but I always enjoyed BO2 more. BO2 is chaotic and I like the dark environments and how the world feels more apocalyptic. But cold war is pretty fun for casuals and just a fun time. PHD flopper is op thou, it makes an already pretty easy game that much easier oof. Also you get to the point that you don’t even have to buy ammo anymore because mule kick exists. But ig coldwar is good because it suit any players gameplay style, you can make the gameplay harder by spawning with a pistol with no attachments, or spawn in with a fully kitted ar or shotgun. As a player you have more options to pick from that make a custom gameplay experience. But overall tbh I like the more challenging experience and not having the ability to customise attachments on guns or spawning in with an op gun. Also tbh sliding made the game easier but more skills to master to. But BO2 and prior there was no sliding.

Unpopular opinion: BO4 was good but the community wasn't ready for the innovations then, they were expecting bo3 part 2

I think Blood of the Dead/Mob of the Dead have the best story of any map. I love the thought of the cycle and how in Mob they are trying to break it. And then in Blood you have the characters from Mob helping to stop the warden. And not to mention that ending cutscene from Blood

old classic Verruckt survive forever trick, you open door to power but leave the door open next to the trap at the otherside one guards window and you all place bouncing bettys down and activate the trap got 38+ rounds on that map.

I loved how the astronaut on moon used to be a random person on your friends list 😂
