Couple of things I completely forgot to mention in the video. First of which is why I didn’t include dead ops arcade, and the second thing is the round 100 that achieved on call of the dead For dead ops, there’s two reasons I didn’t include it in this video. First is that I’m leaving it for a different type of video I’m planning to do after mw3’s life cycle ends. The other reason is that I can’t include it even if I wanted to. For whatever reason, dead ops doesn’t launch for me on pc, so I can’t play it. As for the call of the dead round 100, a week before uploading this video, someone managed to get to round 105 on call of the dead. The reason I didn’t include it is that I only heard about this after uploading the video, and I didn’t think I would need to check if someone got to round 100 since something like this would’ve been a massive deal in the community. To my surprise, I haven’t seen anyone talk about it. Anyways, I’ll start working on the next video after the college semester ends in May to make sure I don’t fail any of my classes. So until then, enjoy this video
If I make a really detailed video about the bo1 dead ops and community reception about it. You will add to your channel?
@@mrcrowthebird9836why not add it to your channel? You’re detailing your own perception of the mode, so it would make more sense for you to put it in your channel
Tbh I wouldn't want you to feel pressured to make a Dead Ops video unless you really wanted to, since there's already a couple in-depth retrospectives where the DOA community comes together and looks back on how it's evolved
@@WAFFENFABRIK that’s not the idea I have in mind. I wanna make a video on the entire concept of gamemodes in zombies. And dead ops would be an important topic to that video
Black Ops 1 is the perfect Call of Duty game. Campaign is incredible, Multiplayer is iconic and feels so great, and zombies is atmospheric and fun. Its really got it all.
Ya and its not live service
so true. it’s my fav cod for that exact reason. only thing didn’t like about it was the quickscoping nerf.
Nothing is perfect & BO3 had the best zombies don’t lie to yourself
@@dariusdafigga great maps but gobble gums made it too easy
@@ThunderHOWL16 You don't have to use the gobblegums
"I might have played this game more than any other person on the planet" Alright, listen here, wise guy- "In the last 5 months." Ok valid
I'm a simple man. I see a BO1 video essay, I hit like.
Realest comment I've seen all day
I too am a simple man, I see a comment on someone liking a video because it’s about bo1 and I hit like.
17:53 Today I learned you can place a claymore on that windowsill lol
Oh that. I literally figured it out by accident lmao
This game may be old but it holds a special place in our hearts
True. It was the first map I played. The nova crawlers terrified me though
"Zombies. Gentlemen, at times like these our capacity to retaliate must be and has to be massive, to deter all forms of aggression."
"It's just the storm, Dick. Sit down."
was a lot of fun and absolute pleasure helping you with this - don’t think I could ever play this game without Blauwbeer now
I don’t think any of us can.
@@zestymoon for as much as we bitched about every map it was always fun, especially der riese
Black ops 1 is my favorite. The atmosphere is creepy and mysterious, fun and memorable weapons, interesting wonder weapons, and the challenge of survival was still at the forefront. When people say old zombies is outdated, I think what they really feel is that they are over the core gameplay of survival, and later games really contributed that.
something people tend to forget: in black ops 1 both kino, five (an dead ops arcade) are on disc! which mean you don't have to pay more money and if the servers are shutdown you can still play those maps. bo2 has the HUGE weakness to have as only on disc maps the tranzit stuff. I remember paying 60€ the game at release and instantly launching it at home and the first thing I did is to check the zombie mode cuz I was curious to what they did with the mode and it was fun playing tranzit and town with friends for one week.. then.... yeah. later the first dlc map released, it was die riese. my friend bought it and.... yeah unsurprisingly he didn't like it and recommended to the whole group to come back to bo1 and forget about bo2. when the first actual good map released with motd, we stop playing bo2 all together so we didn't cared and even if we did that one friend wouldn't want to risk to waste money again buying a dlc so we would have to play without him. that's the main reason to why bo2 zombie is the worst one of the treyarch classics, that and the fact waw zombie is underrated as hell. and that's why bo1 and bo3 are the best zombie even tho i'm not the biggest fan of bo3 edit: you can totally train in Five when playing in group of 4, in fact all the three floors are trainable
Dead ops arcade players be malding for not getting mentioned in
I genuinely forgot mention anything related to it. I guess the mode is that forgettable lmao
Bruh xD
this video was uploaded days after a Call Of The Dead round 100 was finally achieved legitimately after almost 13 years.
And I can’t believe it. I was so confident that it won’t happen within making this video that I didn’t even bother to check whether it was actually achieved or not. As a result, I’m getting multiple comments correcting the mistake and each time it hurts my soul
Idk if it was a meme to reduce Sarah M. Geller to "Daphne" when she was literally Buffy the Vampire Slayer...
it was a meme yes
I know that she’s buffy. The reason I mention daphne instead is that I thought it would be hilarious to slightly bother anyone watching that bit thinking I would bring up buffy. There has been a few comments mentioning this, so it’s working lmao
Not gonna lie I’ve been seeing the updates for this video and I’ve been patiently waiting and I can say with certainty this is one worth watching, great vid man 🙏 definitely worth the wait 👍
you are my favorite zombies youtuber, been waiting on this video
Favorite? that is something I never thought I’d hear so soon. Glad you like the content brotha
Oh shit, its finally here! Been waiting for this one man, glad ya were finally able to finish it
Bo1 was my first zombies game. I never had a xbox 360 or a ps3, so when my friend got the game and a copy of bo1, you know i was over there everyday i could. Booting up the zombies menu and hearing the piano of damned sends chills everytime i play it. Awesome video man, the wait, as always, was worth it
Incredibly well done. I really love the longer videos, keep it up man!
God that RatSlinger guy from the CotD section had a horrible mic
He does have a god awful mic, but his donations are appreciated. But in all seriousness, thanks for the tip senior
Still better than whatever the fuck that Blauwbeer guy had, 1890's radio ass mic.
Fantastic video, was well worth the wait.
finally been waiting for this broski
Omfg i never thought it would come out,Thank so you much for bringing us this video brother 🙏🏽🖤
Great video, man! Just finished it and it was expertly put together and I think content like this really what the Zombies Community needs. Innovative essay style videos like this I think have opportunity to reinvigorate the creativity and love for the game a lot of folks have. Black Ops 1 is goated and is probably my number 2 or 3 in terms of Zombies games. I'm a die hard moon fan, but I think I'm goin with the majority and saying that Call of the Dead is my favorite map from the game. I hope this video takes off and I'm looking forward to seeing what content you have in store for the future!
Awesome video! Been waiting on this one for awhile and it didn’t disappoint
Was playing old cods even after the ps4 and almost into ps5, all timeless classics. WAW, MW2, BO1, MW3 and BO2
Yes I have been waiting for this
I’ve been waiting for this vid! Yessir
every couple of months i rewatch all of your videos it's kinda weird ive out of the zombies loop for a year now
Just got done with the kino section, great video so far would love to see a chronicles retrospective in the future.
I’m glad you’re enjoying the video. As for a chronicles retro, that would be a difficult one to make. Since all I’m doing is looking over the changes that the remaster makes and not the maps themselves, there’s not much to talk about. If I were to make a large bo3 retro, then chronicles is definitely something I can include to it. But reviewing on it’s own would be extremely hard to pull off
I want to add something to mulekick. Something important. Having three weapons takes longer to cycle through. This can and will end your game sometimes. It is the sole reason why I never use this. Even in newer CODs. When I need my Wonder weapon to get out of a sticky situation I need it NOW.
That’s not really true. If you know your weapon cycle, you can click triangle/Y multiple times to cycle to the weapon you want, or if you using a mouse, you can rotate back and forth using the scroll to the weapon you need. It’s just a matter of muscle memory
Good video keep it up bro
you earned my sub for the DBZ BT2 music. god bless you. great vid
God bless you too brotha. I had to put lost courage due to how much of a banger it is
So l glad this video finally dropped, I’ve been super excited for it! Edit: Yeah I agree that ascension is the worst aged map in the game by far, having to play so much ascension is what completely burned me out on making videos on zombies for a few months, so props to you for powering through it!
It’s finally here! Time to bust out the popcorn 🍿
I've loved zombie since a kid. But as you grow up you realise that training is just a waste of your time. Now I only enjoy zombie maps that don't allow you to train like shangri-la
imo cod zombies went downhill with the mindset that mob of the dead introduced, focusing on Easter eggs\story when the real appeal of zombies is the rogue like elements that it never leaned into as much as it should. the box having the best weapons, but also risking giving you shitty guns is the best example of this. your point about bo1 weapons was a good point, having to overcome difficult maps while having a bunch of playstyles due to box luck, direction you go in on a map, perk choice makes it interesting.
Nah you're wrong. MOTD saved zombies. Tranzit and Die Rise were killing BO2 whereas MOTD and Origins saved the game and the entire zombies game mode. Focusing on easter eggs and story was for the better. Round based survival was getting tiresome at that point. Surviving just to survive with no story to get invested in and no goal to achieve was fucking boring and pointless. Times change and zombies had to change with the times and evolve to be better and stay relevant.
@@DanielWilson-lm4zh I know that mob and origins helped zombies popularity and origins was a real good map. what I'm saying is that it gave people the idea that the story Easter egg was the main appeal of zombies which it never was for most, and being forced to do most of the EE steps to play the map properly got repetitive. bo1 struck a good balance tho i prefer bo2 weapons a lot more i think they are more interesting
@@fiinenight Easter eggs have always been optional. I would say easter eggs became the appeal cause it was something else to do other than the standard round based gameplay that we've been doing since day 1. It was something new, something fun, and it was a mystery for the player to uncover. It brought the community more together than any round based gameplay.
@@DanielWilson-lm4zh in mob and origins you have to do most of it to get the wonder weapons n shit. mob is particularly bad about it, still think its better than buried that map is mind-numbingly boring. now i stopped playing cod after bo2 so i have no idea about b03 onward.
@@DanielWilson-lm4zh Why do things have to change? Why couldn't the zombies mode die out peacefully instead of it becoming a carcass of its original self?
Damn this is a pretty fire ass video
I listened to this at work and I loved your retrospective! I've been playing this game since a few weeks before DLC1 came out, and I continue to play it to this day (I totally recommend the Renaissance mod for a really fun and refreshing experience too!) A few nerdy things to note: Commonly, most know the Wunderwaffe as the "Jugg Zapper", but what it's actually doing is zapping your health regen away. Without Jugg, zapping yourself brings you from 100 HP down to 1. With Jugg, it takes you from 250 HP down to 113, effectively making you a 2 hit. Surprisingly, a lot dont know about this, but the WAW remasters are also launch maps! They were released alongside the Prestige Edition of the game. So they rereleased the maps in DLC4 because, let's be honest, you paid a bunch extra for a game version that not many else had. You weren't going to find anyone to play with online. Lastly, you probably know by now, but Round 100 was just achieved in COTD solo very recently. Many runners were playing correctly to reach Round 100, but a fatal flaw with the game engine was holding them back. If I'm not mistaken, the game will count ticks in each map. If this count reaches the 32-bit integer limit (around 21 billion), the map will force restart. I think the restart happens around 80 hours? This is why many runners have to basically speedrun for world record. This issue persisted from WAW as well. COTD just had Round 100 broken because of a new barrier glitch found that leaves zombies in an idle state, which will automatically die when left like that for too long.
To this day, I have always preferred the visual style of BO1 Zombies as apposed to the over saturated and plastic-looking Chronicles remasters. (Don't get me wrong, the BO3 versions of the maps are asthetically pleasing but for me personally miss the mark when it comes to that unsettling and liminal feeling that the original versions give off).
Boutta miss my sons birth for this 💯
As you should
I hereby announce this video essay and our joyous contribution towards it as an artifact of significant historical value. May our AUGs be non-anachronistic and our pneumonias not in the several!
Nice video keep up the good work, btw round 105 has been achieved on Call of the Dead solo
Apparently that was a week before this video was posted. It’s unfortunate that I didn’t hear about since I finished the call of the dead section over a month ago, and I didn’t expect a round 100 before finishing the video
The Frosty cameo was like an og MCU cameo. Had me cheering like I was at the cinema
Trust me, I was just as happy when I saw the masterpiece he made for the video
Zesty Moon has UPLOADED
i always thought kino was just really easy playing it back then, so i always preferred playing Five, i feel like five is just so fun. definitely underrated
Cold War was genuinely the game to get us back on track, the mechanics in that game I still think are the best in the entire series. If only they had invested more times into better maps with more interesting easter eggs and a ton of side content, we would’ve had a revival of zombies me thinks. Also they FUCKED UP by not having Tranzit be an Outbreak map. It would’ve been actually perfect, we could’ve seen a pre-nuked Tranzit map, but noooooo. Gotta make fuckin VANGUARD ZOMBIES🤮
It’s HERE ITS HERE
Hold on, gotta mark this video down right now, this is a good video to eat too, I'll be back later.
Man i wanted to watch the Premier but couldnt cuz timezones exist Good video tho
Fantastic video, worth the wait and hope you take a nice break after it! I'd say BO1 Zombies is the most balanced out of all the games, you don't feel too strong nor powerful but the same goes for the zombies/enemies so everyone feels equal and if it does end up being 1 sided then it feels more chaotic and interesting since you do have a chance to get out of the situation. The weapons, AI, bosses, map design, all of them follow an old school formula that's easy to understand, easy to pick up and play both Solo/COOP all without needing to do the Main Story Easter Egg, something that's nothing but a side idea instead of the main focus. I feel the community got so heavily spoiled from BO3 with that everyone thinks "WAW/BO1 bad because too easy and boring" without actually understanding why both are the most successful zombies modes out there because anyone can enjoy it all without looking up a guide. BO1 is the only game i'm able to properly experiment with perks and mainly weapons due to how they function and through their unique PAP system making them feel completely different to other weapons which increases the sandbox and allows you to try out different styles with all of them being playable since the maps and more importantly zombies themselves were all made with that system in mind so it feels very fair. Every weapon has it's own identity and personality to the point where they are literally weapons from irl except for the Wonder Weapons but using those weapons then seeing them in real life, sparks a satisfying story since you can connect it to zombies and or other games so that makes the experience so much better which got lost in BO3 onwards. It's sad that the community mainly the "Zombies KZheadrs" slander and misunderstand these maps while putting anything that Blundel works on in A/S tier all because they are blinded by the amount of cash that BO3 filled their pockets with and how badly Treyarch spoiled the community that they go against everything that simpily isn't BO3. The same community that makes negative/hate videos on those who put Kino in A/S tier when it's nothing but an opinion, goes to show how bad the community in general is just so disconnected. My point is BO1 being as simple and understandable as it is, also reflects the community back when everyone was doing nothing but memes due to how much love and dedication they had for the mode, nothing but that was keeping the community alive and as zombies kept going on, things got more complicated which ment the same for the community and none of it ends positive which is sad. You're the only youtuber out of all the years to actually understand BO1 Zombies perfectly so keep doing what you do best as it's what the community needs during these dying times.
Glad you enjoyed the video. The opinion that bo1 is a boring game is mostly held by people who play nothing but easter eggs, or people that go for insane high rounds. And in fairness to those people, bo1 doesn’t offer that experience for them. While I do disagree with their take, I do understand the point of view. I mostly had an issue with people calling the game outdated, which it isn’t. It offers a completely different experience. That doesn’t mean it can’t be enjoyed by others
1. BO1 zombies is mid. Every map has some annoying ass gimmick that ruins the entire map. First of all, zombies are not equal to you. You get weaker and they get tougher as each round passes. That's what a round based survival mode is. There is nothing wrong with having an easter egg. And even then, BO3 easter eggs are still optional. You can still get the feel of a map without a guide. And even if you do, using a guide is not inherently a bad thing. 2. Again, you don't have to use a guide for everything. You can figure out a lot of things by using your common sense and by playing the map. There is nothing wrong with using a guide at all. Zombies has always been easy dude. BO3 is easy and so is BO1. Zombies is easy no matter what game you are playing. BO3 is easy even with double pap and gobblegums. Just run around in circles and train for hours until you get to whatever round you wanna get to. Every game is the same shit. What "unique pap" are you referring to? Sounds like something you're making up. Zombies has always been made with the sandbox system in mind. So a weapon has to be based on real life for you to connect with it? That's your problem, not the games problem. How does the weapons being based on real life make the game better in any way? 3. Blundell's maps are in A and S tier because they deserve it. Every map in BO1 has some annoying ass gimmick and serious flaws that ruins the entire map. Nova crawlers are annoying, but other than that, Kino is a solid classic map. Five is way too linear and pentagon thief is annoying. Ascension monkeys are annoying AF and the map is way too open and easy. George Romero is annoying AF and the scavenger and vr-11 suck ass, other than that, COTD is a solid map. Shingri la is a little too cramped and the monkeys stealing your power ups is annoying AF. Unlocking pap in coop is always a gamble on whether it actually happens or not. Moon is such a garbage map. Low gravity is just a gimmick, nothing more. It doesn't benefit the gameplay at all and is actually a detriment. Astronaut boss is one of the worst boss zombies ever and most people agree. Dealing with the excavators is annoying AF as well. Moon is way too much RNG to be enjoyable. BO3 don't have any of these problems. They learned from the mistakes of BO1 and BO2 and made BO3 the best it can be. Most people agree that BO3 is the peak of zombies. So being simple and understandable is good enough for you? Having any depth or complexity is a bad thing? Sounds like a you problem. I would love to see you actually try to counteract anything I said. BO1 zombies is mid AF and BO3 is the best. It's the fan favorite for a reason.
@@DanielWilson-lm4zh “Zombies has always been easy dude” then complains about the pentagon thief and Shang being too cramped with monkeys stealing the drops lmao if you were actually good you’d know to place claymores in the jug corner on five and that the monkeys on Shang do way more good than bad, Only trash players complain about the Shang monkeys. And you know damn well that bo1 is not as easy as Bo3 you don’t have to gaslight yourself the game that has a two hit down system, mostly trash guns, little to no crutch mechanics vs a game with gobblegums, double tap 2.0, AATs, 3 hit down, every gun is strong, weapon kits, and specialist abilities and yet “Zombies is easy no matter what game you’re playing” LOL, play WaW der riese and then play CW Die Maschine and try saying that again with a straight face Yea There’s nothing wrong with using a guide but your average Joe will have no idea how to upgrade the staffs/bows, get the sword on shadows or pap without a guide, OPs point is that Bo1 is more to the point than Blundells maps which is just what he prefers, you know everybody plays the mode for different reasons right? Not everyone is a Blundell dick muncher, and you can’t use the “complex = harder” argument because his maps are much easier than Zielinskis besides Bo4 on realistic “Most people agree Bo3 is the peak of zombies and it’s a fan favorite for a reason” This is literally Bot/NPC levels of thinking, Ad Populum fallacy buddy “Taylor Swift is the number one artist in the world so she must be the first for a reason” “Most people agree Avengers Endgame was the peak of the mcu so it’s the best one” Bo3 dickriders try not to act smug and condescending when someone shares their opinion challenge: IMPOSSIBLE
I cannot say bo1 is the most balanced considering its weapon pool was arguably the worse in the franchise dealing no dmg and being forced to rely on wonder weapon which can just be a huge detriment most of the time. In terms of balancing in that aspect, bo2 takes the crown here with weapons that will actually last you for more than 30 rounds while still making wonder weapons a good addition to have and not a must have like in bo1 (hell Call of the dead has the worse weapon pool ever). Maps wise, they’re all very good and I do agree the blundell era made us do a lot more quests than surviving but that honestly evolved the gameplay of zombies more than anything because looking back at older games, there’s not much to it other than surviving for the longest time or EE speedrun attempts. I’m in no way saying bo1 zombies is a bad game but with bo3 and bo4, there’s more to desire than pure simplicity.
I'm about to watch this once for real and like 4 more times in the background 😂 (Also I broke my edging streak to this)
A fitting end for that streak
Naw time to fail all them classes now for the moon slander😈💯
Black ops 1 definitely has zombies despawning, it was one of the mechanics allowing the round 100 on call of the dead.
Which part of the video are your talking about?
Forgot two major Kino strats... Fire trap and foyer room for the unlucky fourth player lmao
Alleluia.
14:01 “Feople”😂😂😂
Look. My accent isn’t perfect, but that clearly sounds like “a lot of people” lmao.
Shadows of evil when it first came out was kinda annoying but shadows of evil now is one of my favorite maps in BO3
yeah I just wish the giant was free so people could play something less overwhelming at the time. plus it's a remake map so c'mon
@@pikminologueraisin2139 dude I feel this 100% I remember when I finally bought chronicles I got the giant with it and I just felt like "damn this would have been perfect with shadows of evil as a map rotation"😂🙏
A thing worth noting in regards to the low gravity issues on Moon: the physics of BO1 are affected by your fps. Very high fps makes the odds higher of you to randomly fly up in the air when sprinting. Sometimes I've flown up so high that I can reach the ceiling in the pyramid room. There's a reason why the game is capped at 92 fps as default on PC.
I’ve had that happen a ton. But the reason I didn’t mention it is because I didn’t want to bring up an issue that is only affects people that play at a high refresh rate.
@@zestymoon Understandable. But then again, a lot more PC players nowadays play with fps and refresh rates that are much higher than 60. So for anyone that gets really bothered by the Moon physics glitches, this could be good know. Fun fact: BO2 has similar issues in some aspects, as that game's physics are also affected by fps and refresh rate. Best example is the Paralyzer in Buried. The higher the fps, the lower you can fly up. Really high fps makes you incapable of flying up at all.
W Dbz reference i just got back in to zombies on Bo3 i started on bo1 loved five n Kino was my fist taste in zombies I didn’t own bo2 myself but I briefly played when i was at a friends house but i soon get a ps3 n run bo2 n People still play zombies chronicles surprisingly
My first cod zombies game
Acension wasnt the first map to introduce a new Perk, Kino introduced Mulekick and also had 5 perks.
That’s a common misconception. Mule kick was never a thing until moon came out. When the perk was introduced in moon, the devs decided to retroactively add it to all previous maps. If you doubt that, try playing a game of any map other than moon and the waw remasters offline. Mule kick won’t be on the map
Oh on didn't know that, mb and thank you for the clarification. @@zestymoon
Why is it so hard to find time in my life? I hope that today will be the day in which I finally watch this video
And I hope that you’re going to enjoy it
BO1 is the best Call of Duty in my eyes. All 3 modes were solid. And zombies was creepy.
Rewatched the video, i changed my mind it sux lmao
Bro, thank you for actually being honest, like, there's only bo3 fans now..
I wouldn’t say that there’s isn’t fans of the other games. It’s more so that fans of bo3 are more vocal about their high opinion of the game, which I do understand. It’s just that some of them are so attached to that opinion that they think that the other games aren’t even worth playing, and it’s impossible for them to comprehend that people can enjoy other games.
Even a p diddy party couldn’t stop me from watching this video
great content as always! do you plan on doing these types of videos for every single black ops or zombies mode in general?
Not all of them, but there’s a couple that I would like to make videos on.
He already did for every black ops game. Granted the cold war vid was made 2 years ago and was only 10 minutes long but it still counts, he even reviewed the entirety of bo2 twice.
comon zesty W
Imma give my personal opinions on the maps: Kino Der Toten: Personal favorite map of all time and I really love it. "Five": A cool "Yang" to Kino's "Yin" and they work well together. Ascension: Would be my favorite but the Monkeys drags it down. Call Of The Dead: Kinda mixed but I loved George Romero. Shangri La: Underrated and yet still my least favorite map of it. Moon: An Great ending map, but it got better in BO3 Nacht Der Untoten: Atmosphere is downgraded but has Mule Kick and Thunder Gun Verruckt: Shittiest version of the map. Why does it get the Winter's Howl Shi No Numa: Just Eh. Der Riese: Got upgraded but I just didn't play it as much. Black Ops 1 as a whole is my favorite Zombies game of all time.
I do have a lot of problems with bo1 zombies, and It has shown it's age in a lot of ways. That being said it's still black ops zombies it's a classic forever
And easter eggs can be done offline I will not stop stressing that
Bo4😂😂😂😂😂
1:13:25 BASED. You are so based, I love your content and personality.
Yippee thank you my life is 43493937 times better
In what universe is Jugg "easy to get to" on Kino? it's in a tiny corner from hell that is next to impossible to get out of
Well if you’re training in the stage and all the zombies are there, you can easily run there, get the perk, and dip to the lobby. That amount of time you have to do that is an eternity. Even if you’re not in the stage, if you sprint from any room in the map to jug, there’s no way any zombie would be around to block you path. Granted all of that is in solo, but in co op, you can have your teammates defend you.
Shangri-la is my favorite map in Bo1. I actually prefer it over moon. In Bo3, tho it's the complete opposite
Everyone beat the story back then.
mfs with less than 10k subs making a 2+ hour passion project of a video essay: me: i like :)
Hopefully I’ll get there one day
@@zestymoon hope you do too :)
You know its funny hearing you say not a single persona manged to reach round 100 on cotd but just a couple days ago someone did it lol
Could you tell me who did it? All I know that there’s been a discovery that made it possible somehow. But I haven’t heard of anyone that actually got it
@@zestymoon look at the new wunderful video on it. Pretty much player kills zombies by boarding up a barrier and zombies behind barrier die from not moving for 30 seconds. Vr11 is used to kill zombies that dont spawn at the barrier
I truly do think Blundell was the end of zombies, his complete arrogance and belief that he knew what everyone wanted is still astounding to me. He made TWO good (frankly tedious and repetitive) maps and immediately took over an entire game and then managed to drive the entire thing into the ground. The fact he had the gall to create an entire new story in the middle of the one people have been following for years is one of the funniest things ever. It’s sad that people still praise him Edit: also naming Daphne instead of Buffy for SMG is insane 😂
The reason I said daphne instead of buffy and tortuga instead of machete is that I knew it would be funny to bring random ass characters instead of their most notable roles.
Jason Blundell changed the mode for the better. He did what people wanted. He saved the zombies game mode while Tranzit and Die Rise were killing it. Crazy how the most popular and beloved maps are the ones that he made. Nobody gives a fuck about the maps that Jimmy Z made. People still praise BO3 maps cause they are just that good. When MOTD came out, people loved it and wanted more of it and he gave them more of it. Seems like you're still stuck in 2011 bud.
@@DanielWilson-lm4zh people don’t care about Jimmy maps?? Give me a damn break. Kino, Der riese, moon, Shang, COTD, Buried, Five, etc. are all fondly remembered and talked about to this day. MOTD is the only zombies map Blundell did that isn’t riding off what came before, outside of the staffs in origins that map relies on characters created by Jimmy Z. Blundell is a hack and that’s proven by him destroying the entire community and game in bo4, his arrogance destroyed him
@@Johaufs Most of those maps are either mid AF or terrible. People still praise BO3 maps, not BO1. Every map in BO1 has some annoying ass gimmick and serious flaws that ruins the entire map. Nova crawlers are annoying, but other than that, Kino is a solid classic map. Five is way too linear and pentagon thief is annoying. Ascension monkeys are annoying AF and the map is way too open and easy. George Romero is annoying AF and the scavenger and vr-11 suck ass, other than that, COTD is a solid map. Shingri la is a little too cramped and the monkeys stealing your power ups is annoying AF. Unlocking pap in coop is always a gamble on whether it actually happens or not. Moon is such a garbage map. Low gravity is just a gimmick, nothing more. It doesn't benefit the gameplay at all and is actually a detriment. Astronaut boss is one of the worst boss zombies ever and most people agree. Dealing with the excavators is annoying AF as well. Moon is way too much RNG to be enjoyable. MOTD and Origins saved BO2 whereas Jimmy Z was destroying it with Tranzit and Die Rise. Origins didn't use the same characters. Primis and Ultimis are nothing alike. Good try tho.
@@DanielWilson-lm4zh Copy and pasting your comment multiple times to those who go against Blundells work, proves it right that BO3 fans really don't care about anything other than BO3 and will defend it no matter what.
the amount of slander and disrespect to Ascension was so incorrect. To say the map has aged poorly is like saying Tranzit is underrated. Ascension is objectively one of the better maps on bo1 and the monkeys aren't nearly as much of an issue as people desperately want them to be. I can see them being an issue to the people who don't have a thundergun and refuse to use the fire traps but even if they do take your perk just buy it again. The game isn't undoing your progress your points are meant to be spent.
I’m glad you enjoy it more than I do, but I don’t see how you think that it’s objectively one of the better maps. To me, the map is a bigger der riese/ kino with a massive nuisance. The monkeys aren’t the end of the world. As I said in the video, they don’t make the game harder at all, but they do force you to regain progress, and yes they do take away your progress. Saying that they don’t means that you don’t consider perks to be a valuable part of your kit, which is objectively false. I would be fine with the monkeys if ascension had something to offer that makes it unique, which it doesn’t. I don’t hate ascension, but I would rather play any other map in the game barring most of the waw remakes
call of the dead is a top 3 map argue with a wall
The absolute disrespect to say Sarah Michelle geller played Daphne in the live action scooby doo movies. That's motherfuckin Buffy the vampire slayer dude lol.
I was gonna mention Buffy initially, but then I thought it would be hilarious if I mentioned an unexpected character just to cause some light irritation. Currently, you’re the second person commenting about this, so I guess it’s working lmao
It definitely worked lol amazing video so far btw. I'm at the shangri la part its cool that I'm not the only person who loves the maps challenge, and all the ways you can take advantage of the maps mechanics.
I gotta disagree, but glad you like it that much
That’s unfortunate, but I’m glad that you’re expressing your disagreement in a respectful way. Thank you for that
While I may have BO1 towards the end of my zombies ranking, I do have an immense amount of respect for it. Without Kino, Ascension and Moon Zombies wouldn't be the same. As for the maps themselves, I'm really mixed on this game. Kino gets boring really quickly for me, I do not like Five at all minus the goofy story, Ascension is extremely fun until the monkeys show up, Call of the Dead is ruined by George for me, Shang is pretty good and I hate Moon. As for the WaW remasters, eh. Honestly I think they're the worst ways to play those maps minus Der Riese. Yeah I know the perks, OP weapons and gobblegums (which I never use) miss the point of the original maps but I do not care. It is fun to have Jugg, Double Tap, Widow's Wine and Speed Cola on Nacht with a Dingo and Drakon. Off topic ramble aside, fantastic video as always! Sidenote I know they fixed it with the BO3 version of Verruckt but...why add the winter's howl to Verruckt instead of the Wunderwaffe? It's an asylum in the 1940s, they used electro shock therapy. Electric shock. Wunderwaffe. It's like the most obvious choice ever.
Treyarc was probably thinking like this: Verruckt needs a wonder weapon but the map still needs to be hard. "five" is a hard map even with the wonderweapon so five's wonderweapon shall be in verruckt.
Back at it with the gta style loading screens 😂😂
Well they’re my thing I guess lmao. But hey, if it works and people love it, I don’t have to change it
@@zestymoon yeah bro they look clean
@@zestymoon I don't love it, bring back the cringe music edits.
Is it worth it to buy it now? I've started with black ops 4 and its still the best game for me tho but i did never played the older ones...i want to buy all the cods with zombies in the past but don't know if it's worth it..could anyone give me an advice? I'm missing on world at war, black ops 1+2 and advanced warfare...did anybody recommend to buy these games in 2024?
If you think that bo4 is the best game in the series, then I don’t know if I should recommend bo1 for you. The maps and mechanics are night and day. Personally, I enjoy bo4, but I have many problems with pretty much every aspect of the game, so again not sure if it’ll be to your liking.
@@zestymoon for me it is. I've started with it so it will be always special for me. I had a very fun time with it. I'll probably buy it somewhere cheap, just to catch up and who knows, maybe I'll change my mind on bo4. Thanks for the respond ❤
Not sure if you meant the video title literally but I think most would consider BO3 zombies a top three of all time and that game came out eight years ago. Cold War zombies is also another good one and that game came out four years ago. BO1 compared to either of these is very outdated, if you’re talking mechanics/movement. Not hating whatsoever, just being realistic. Some of my fondest & earliest experiences were playing kino all morning at my cousin’s house on the weekends as a kid.
Imo, if you’re going to call the game outdated, there should be a reason for it other than that the game doesn’t have the mechanics or the movement of the newer games. For example, I would consider world at war outdated because the zombies AI was glitchy. They essentially were walking magnets that stopped you in place whenever they swipe at you. I don’t think you can put bo1 in the same boat as that.
@@zestymoon Well if you disregard the movement, then sure I would definitely say the game isn't outdated. Maybe some of the color schemes but nothing major. Like I said, I love BO1 and actually just played the campaign yesterday
3 needs to put the knives back in kino
I genuinely have no idea what you’re talking about
كل عام وانت بخير
و انت بخير و صحة وسلامة
1:13:24 Hmmm, I wonder who you could be referring to...
No one in particular of course. Don’t wanna be naming anyone now
Do you play zombies with your fans?
I haven’t done something of the sort in a while. But I’ll probably do a grief stream at some point and invite people from the chat
It is so frustrating for me because I just don't see it. Playing it in 2010 and playing it back throughout the years, to me BO1 is just my least favourite Treyarch game, even though I hear all the discussion around it and I agree to a certain extent, it just doesn't click with me.
I can understand what you mean. I don’t feel the same way about an entire game, but there’s some maps that I can’t enjoy to the same extent as other people.
Great video and super based take for saying Shang is the best of bo1
1:15:46 Funny that you said that when someone finally managed to reach round 100 just the other day kzhead.info/sun/aLCAoZSHj4iwraM/bejne.htmlsi=8RNBlCbeDA9AxU0M
It really sucks when a vital piece of information that you were talking about becomes outdated days before uploading the video. If the comments of this video weren’t telling me about this, I still wouldn’t have heard of it.
Can't believe people are happy with the current zombies they have been releasing :/ Waw-Bo3 hits different, and I'd even add that Black ops 4 felt smoother and I hated bo4.Sad to see all the story and world building they had ended, and the newer story just wasn't as interesting.
I'm never watching a 2 hour long video with ads again, i was watching this shit at DOUBLE SPEED and it still took me longer to finish than the video length would suggest purely because i sat through every ad and clicked them all just so my senpai can get a few more NEET-bux to buy his college diploma outright instead of working for it. Anyway as for thoughts on the video itself: Was surprisingly funny, i didn't have this much of laugh since 8 hours ago and the Frosty collab was came completely out of left field. Although i find it weird how he purposefully contradicts himself, points it out, and never bothers to address it. If you're actually curious as to why Castro meeting up with Kennedy couldn't happen but Trump meeting Kim could is because unlike Cuba, the US recognizes N.Korea as a legitimate state. You see at the end of WW2 the USSR declared war on Japan and because they technically participated they could get a piece of the pie, after some debate the Allies decided that Korea would be split with the north being under soviet influence. The US agreed to this so it would be weird for them to not recognize just because they're enemies as they sort of asked for it, but Cuba is different. Castro's revolution was seen as illegal and held the previous government was legitimate, so to invite castro for a meeting would be admitting defeat on that stance. The only way that Kennedy and Castro would be in the same room together is if one of them was cuffed by the hands. Something else i've found kinda odd is the claim that Nixon couldn't be there because he wasn't president which i never understood this one if i'm being honest, just because Nixon wasn't president doesn't mean he wasn't an important and influential politician. You could say that him being in a vital meeting between Kennedy and Castro is unrealistic (which is fair) but that's not what i hear coming from anyone else, the way they frame it is that unless you are the president you aren't allowed in the pentagon which is just demonstrably false. Also to say that it was the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis is strange considering Mcnamara's statement it seems that most of the heat had disappeared by then although i might be taking it too literally. And i don't think i've ever heard of someone wanting to play as mcnamara or even heard of him for that matter, even my autistic ass has barely heard of him so i don't see why you hype him up so much lol. I think the reason why the perks weren't added was because the map was supposed to be bigger (according to rumors it was supposed to be the size of Origins) and with the smaller size you couldn't fit as many of them. Also Treyarc was probably thinking ahead with this one because if you had all these perks barely fitting in the largest map up until that point then how was it all supposed to fit in Shang? So in the end some sacrifices were made. IDK if i already said this before but imma repeat myself anyway: I think a good solution to the Monkeys would be if the zombie silverback was the EE boss and once defeated all the perk machines would become immune to the monkeys, now in order to get a perk bottle drop you have to kill the monkeys without getting hurt by them. This is not a perfect solution but it is better than what we have now. Didn't know about the famas trick but i will definitely make use of it in the future. Kinda surprised there wasn't a montage of me being annoying as hell the entire game but whatevz. I think the reason as to why the Shang EE reward is so stingy is out of necessity of the final map needing to have the greatest EE reward out of them all, so if everyone gets all the perma-perks then the previous map must have only 1 player at a time have all the perma-perks because it is lesser. Not to say that it was justified or smart but that is the only explanation i could think of as to why it is that retarded. Your Moon assessment is fine i guess, but the remaster review was more interesting surprisingly enough. I think it has to do that nobody talks about so when it is talked about, it is significantly more fascinating. I don’t have a lot to say on this video, it’s really really good, excellent job. i would call this video your best one yet however you did not mention dead ops arcade so 0/10 would not recommend. (yeah i know you're saving for the next zombies video, i just wanted to make the joke so back off.)
In fairness, mcnamera was jfk’s right hand man basically. So I’d say that he’s important enough to be hyped up. Also, “surprisingly funny”? What’s that supposed to mean? I no funny? But regardless, glad you enjoyed the video as much as you did. I will make great use of the ad revenue you’ve given me
@@zestymoon I just didn't think comedy would take up this much of a percentage of a documentary-type video.
I never understood why people hate the ascension monkeys with such a burning passion. Sure they can be annoying but without them Ascension would be the easiest map in zombies history. They are very predictable in their pathing and as long as you set up well and actually aim good you can deal with them easily everytime without losing a perk.
I think I perfectly outlined my problem with ascension in this video. They don’t make the map harder. even with the monkeys on the map, ascension is one of if not the easiest map in zombies. The monkeys aren’t a problem because they’re hard to deal with. They are easily killable with traps and the thundergun. The problem is that they waste your time by forcing you to go around the entire map getting your perks back. And even if you’re able to deal with them without losing perks, they’re not a fun boss enemy to fight. That’s a valid reason to hate them
black ops 1 zombies was the best zombies ever i do not care bout what u say but i do respect ur opinion
I genuinely don’t understand how you came to the conclusion that I don’t like the game. Like even if you didn’t see a single second of the video, the title clearly shows that I love the game. If you gonna give your opinion on a video that you didn’t even watch, at least read the fucking title
As much as I abhor COD nowadays, I will admit that I'm at least thankful that BO1 got me into zombies. Even if I feel that some of it's gameplay choices would bore me nowadays like the weak weapons and the 2 hit down system.
I understand why the weak weapons would bore you, but why the 2 hit down system? How is that boring?
@@zestymoon Personally it's more of me being used to the current system of 3 hits or more. I just don't enjoy the thought of getting blue balled early into a match because some zombie windmilled me.
@@zestymoon Although I feel using the word "boring" to describe the 2-hit down system was an error on my part, if anything it's significantly outdated to me
I dont see how Acension is a poorly aged map, if you put out a poll today youd see it being at the top instead of the bottom for a reason. The monkey rounds cannot be the reason it aged poorly, considering everything else is fantasticeven for solo players. Unlike five, five has to be the most poorly aged map on bo1. The lack of space, the lack of good weapons to get you set up, the pentagon theif, nova crawlers in the tightest spaces etc. Not to mentionen the lack of good wonder weapons. P.s sarah michelle gellar would be more known for her roll as Buffy the vampire slayer lol
I think you missed what I said in the end of that section. The reason I said ascension aged poorly isn’t purely because of the monkeys. The astronaut for example is just as bad if not worse than the monkeys, but I didn’t say that moon aged poorly due to that. The reason I said that ascension aged poorly is that the map is no longer unique, and there are too many other maps that offer what it offers. The monkeys more so the straw the broke the camel’s back. Oh and for sarah’s role as buffy, I do know that she’s more known for that role than daphne. I just thought it would be hilarious to mention a much goofier role just to slightly irritate some people who expected buffy. There’s a few comments mentioning this so I guess it worked lmao
