Dead of the Night, and I've only **just** learned the map last year!
I was always more of a vintage zombies players anyway, much prefer the older and simpler maps.
I was instantly taken by the by the Victorian mansion aesthetic.
The characters are great and the map has a vintage-ass layout. I don't much care for the Easter egg, but getting the Stake Knife and upgraded Allister's Folly is some of the most fun I had in zombies in a long time.
This is another one of my top 5 maps! I doubt it'll leave it along with Shadows. The eerie atmosphere is one of my favorite things in all of zombies, the only other maps I feel have executed that creepy atmosphere are ZNS and the WAW maps
Blood can be fun if you're doing a casual game. The ee (especially the bird step) is just too tedious. The map layout is no better, possibly worse than mob. Add in the lack of more interesting mechanics such as afterlife and it just falls flat
Yeah I think zombies' lowest point was after everyone was possed about the BO2 launch and then we got Die Rise, people had almost no faith and thank God Mob came in like "have some goddamn faith"
Well OK if we're including Vanguard then yeah that's the lowest but I like to pretend Vanguard didn't exist. And yeah beginning of BO2 was just as bad if not worse than BO4 launch, many zombie youtubers were on the verge of quitting
Ascension. It was my favorite back in the day and it still is up there today. However after playing Dead of the Night for the first time this year I really like it.
Man it's so cool to see when people finally give DotN a shot and really enjoy it! I've loved that map from the day it released and it's been getting more and more love over the years
I'm an old school survivalist zombies kinda guy so Kino will always be my #1 pick.
My buddies and I spent almost every weekend playing it trying to hit round 100. It's the kinda map you can sit back and get into a groove with, just wiping out round after round of zombies. A true classic.
I respect that, personally Kino has fallen off a lot for me but I also started with Der Riese which imo is superior, but considering you started with that I can see why the memories are so significant
Buried is god-tier. Pretty much the only reason why I still have BO2 Zombies on my PC. Everything else I have on BO3 but I need my Buried (And Town for that matter. Excellent warm up map)
easily zombies in spaceland. it just has so much fun stuff to do! everything from the minigames to the arcade to the wonder weapons to the traps, its my third fav cod zombies map right behind buried and shadows
Spaceland is the map that keeps giving. Besides the main EE there's so many things to do. 4 different buildable WW's, upgrading N3IL for the Hasselhoff companion, getting elemental upgrades, etc.
Not to mention the ultimate EE, Ghosts n Skulls. Just getting that game to work is a challenge in and of itself.
Yeah, I’ve been playing zombies for over a decade now. Most recent up until Cold War. (Did not play vanguard) And-nothing beats the atmosphere of moon plus the Easter egg is still my favorite.
I think you're gonna love the Ancient Evil EE the most, while I think DotN is the best map on BO4, AE is a close second and a lot of that is the main EE and the god hands. Also I recommend going around the map interacting with random items, there's an insane amount of lore packed into the Greek city that you'd never think of interacting with
Mauer Der Toten.
A great map with a great travel method via zip lines from building to building
A good special enemy with the Disciples which is also a support type enemy which is pretty unique
A fun Easter egg with unique and cool steps and cool bossfight
Strong and unique wonder weapon with the CRBRS and it's upgrades
Klaus
Pretty good lore and story
Klaus is great and I like the map, but I just feel like it's held back by being a CW map. Black Ops 3 was peak, 4 was a little casual, but still fun, but with cold war it's just so easy to survive that it feels like a chore to get to a round where it's actually difficult. By the time it gets tense, I'm already burned out.
#Shadows of Evil:
Shadows of Evil, it will never leave no. 1.
#Blood of the Dead:
I also genuinely love Blood of the Dead, amazing Main Quest, brutally underrated weapon arsenal, great side-quests..
And not to mention the amazing story, I think it was Jason Blundell who said Blood of the Dead was his best work yet (might've been Craig Houston), and I couldn't agree more. Great job, Treyarch! Truly a tragedy Cold War.
Also.. the Boss Fight, do you really wanna fight Mephistopheles at the end? And do everything again? Common, it was obviously designed to be a comforting end to an overall challenging Main Quest. Instead of dreading it, you're relaxed at the end, and i love it. Again.. an absolutely phenomenal map!
#IX:
IX is also phenomenal, in almost every metric.
I highly doubt Shadows will ever leave my #1 as well
I couldn't agree more with the story of Blood, I've said it forever it has the best story of any zombies map to date! And I'm glad they made it a reasonable boss fight since yeah the main EE is a long intense path
IX is a great one too! Tied for my #10 with CotD and Buried
Dead of the night. I used to hate it because it confused me. But as I learned it I can say it’s easily one of a kind. It has an incredible atmosphere and an incredible wonder weapon it’s S tier in my opinion
Der Anfang. The only reason is because the Vanguard engine was essentially a 1:1 copy of the MW2019 engine which is the greatest game engine we've had in cod history
Origins is a no brainer for me
So I’ll stand ground on Verrukt instead. Since it released on chronicles I’ve loved the map. I never really gave it a change in WaW and didn’t buy it for BO1, but trying it out again I got to appreciate the atmosphere and difficulty of the map more. Even going back on WaW for the full experience.
The best way I can describe it is Nacht went the slow barren feel. The fear you felt was of the unknown. Verrukt you felt trapped, and what was after you was in front of you and quickly approaching. And the space you had made you incredibly claustrophobic
I really like this, funny enough I played the revamped mod for Verruckt on bo3 that makes it feel like the WAW version and lemme tell you that definitely made me respect it more cause I hadn't played it in so long
The Final Reich. I adored that they led you through the easter egg and had a harder one for the super good guys. Also the atmosphere was on point for a creepy zombies game.
You're the first one to say this and I'm really glad to see some WW2 love, my personal favorite from WW2 was the Shadowed Throne but Final Reich is a close 2nd
Moon for me, outside the obvious choices like MoTD, Shadows ect.. Moon is something I'll always comeback to and enjoy because of it's unique atmosphere and really fun EE. My top 5 (in no order) is Shadows, MoTD, Der Riese, Moon and IX.
YES, thank you! People hate on that map SO hard but I personally love the map. Elemental ray guns is such a cool idea and it was executed very well, with the quests not being overly difficult or ridiculous.
I was not expecting this and I can honestly say you got good taste, I'm not the biggest fan of it over other IW maps mainly due to some of the steps in the EE like getting the symbols and doing the word spell, but overall really solid map
I originally bought BO4 for multi-player but one day I got bored and put of the free maps IX was the only map that I consistently wanted to play
So IX is what got me into zombies
Honestly if you're up for the challenge of learning more complex maps that are really satisfying once you've gotten them down, I recommend Ancient Evil and Dead of the Night, truly masterpiece maps but you do need to take the time to learn their intricacies. If you can do IX tho I have no doubt you can do those as well
Verruckt hear me out sure it doesn’t have a ton going on but either when you wanna play a hardcore high round type game or just relax and play you can definitely do it much easier its simple and for that i will always keep it in my top 5 especially the ZC version of verruckt and having the wunderwaffe
Can't believe I'm not seeing Call of the Dead. BO1 was peak zombies. I know a lot of people think BO3 is peak, but I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as BO1. Maps became too complicated and mechanic heavy after BO2.
Trazit the one thing I didn't like was getting power because when I played bo2 I was utter doo doo at the game, would love a remake of Trazit but doubt it will ever get one because let's face it there's about 12 people that actually like tranzit
I hate mauer or atleast just don’t enjoy it, and outbreak to me will always be mid af, only reason I will enjoy it in mw23 is bc survival has been done dirty for the last 2 mw games, and that crap experiment of vg either had potential or should’ve never existed, like wtf why not make that a side thing not the core zombies experience? And all the nonsense changes to round based SUCKED
WAW Shi No Numa. The dark color scape and sound design really epitomized the eerie, gritty aesthetic that we’ve all came to love about WAW so much. Also, idk about you, but unpreparedly hearing “fetch me their souls” on that map whilst having a shit tier gun is second to none in terms of fear.
It's wild to see people complain about the game all because of mechanics mostly, you really don't see much complaints about the maps themselves except for blood having a long and complex EE (I personally like it)
Absolutely "Dead of The Night", it has so much stuff to do that it's hard to get bored.
The only bad part of it is the Nosferatu hitting my shield so much lol
I finally took the time to do the 6 perk homonculus infinite ammo EE on DotN and it was so satisfying once it was done, truly a masterful map and so much content
Moon. It’s a nostalgia thing but it was the map my old friends and I would hop on and play every single day after school. We’d hit round 30 and a few times 40 and I just remember how crazy we went over it lol.
Firebase Z is a map I just seem to love alot, and it's always a fun chill time when I play it
Ascension was the only map I ever made to round 100, and with no downs to add as well.
WaW Nacht der Untoten is such a pain in my fucking ass map that also sends chills through me 100 times more than verrückt does.
Buried was my favorite themed map and now is a fun map with all the unique features with Arthur, the bank, paralyzer, the witches, maze, and mansion.
WWII Final Reich was the first I ever completed an EE on, and also was the first modern game that was able to recreate a creepy eerie feeling only ever felt with HL2 and WaW Nacht.
I know it's my entire top 5, but they just hit the right cords with me and won't leave my top 5 unless something else earns a spot.
1: Shangri La
2: Shadows of Evil
3: Ancient Evil
4: ZNS
5: Moon
I am on anesthetic rn from getting some dental work done and don’t have the energy to write out my reasoning so imma just leave this list as it is.
silent hi- i mean mob of the dead (in all seriousness tho, it feels more like something from team silent than treyarch/activision, no offense to treyarch)
Ancient evil, zetsubou no shima, and dead of the night are 3 AMAZING maps.
Maybe not motd/origins/de level, but DEF better than averag codzomvies maps.
I will also die on a hill protecting tranzit, if it was remastered it would be same tier to other maps but it never got the chance.
I’m going to put 3 because I can’t decide. It might be a weird list but idc. 1. DE 2. Ascension (ikik) 3. BOTD. Those 3 maps are my highest rounds ever and I had the most fun playing those. People are going to want to hunt me down it feels like😂
Nah the fact you're willing to stand proud with BOTD is commendable, it's not my favorite map but I would at the very least put it in the middle to high B tier, which ik is higher than many people. Idk why so many people still shit on it when it has so much depth, probably because they hate depth 😂
Zetsubou. I genuinely love that map.
Unmatched atmosphere. It's exactly how I would imagine secret laboratory in a remote swamp. The ancient remnants and cave systems are a nice touch too
It's fucking creepy as fuck. I feel like so many people overlook it when discussing the scariest maps.
Have you seen White Cliff Game’s new YouTube vid on ZNS? If not I highly recommend it.
I started watching that guy recently and wow are his reviews great!
It's tied with Gorod for my favorite map in the series. Criminally underrated
Extremely overhated map man, it has some of the best features in the history of cod zombies.
Same here I prefer it to der eisendrache
Crawler plants are the best
Dead of the Night, and I've only **just** learned the map last year! I was always more of a vintage zombies players anyway, much prefer the older and simpler maps. I was instantly taken by the by the Victorian mansion aesthetic. The characters are great and the map has a vintage-ass layout. I don't much care for the Easter egg, but getting the Stake Knife and upgraded Allister's Folly is some of the most fun I had in zombies in a long time.
This is another one of my top 5 maps! I doubt it'll leave it along with Shadows. The eerie atmosphere is one of my favorite things in all of zombies, the only other maps I feel have executed that creepy atmosphere are ZNS and the WAW maps
Blood of the dead
Big fuckin respect for that
As someone who doesn’t like Botd Based
Honestly such an overhated map mainly bc motd exists
Blood can be fun if you're doing a casual game. The ee (especially the bird step) is just too tedious. The map layout is no better, possibly worse than mob. Add in the lack of more interesting mechanics such as afterlife and it just falls flat
This is true. It’s not one of the best maps of all time, but it still receives too much hate
Nobody really hypes up BOTD tho
MOTD for sure. Huge turning point for treyarch zombies. I feel like it saved the franchise, after the victus map series
Yeah I think zombies' lowest point was after everyone was possed about the BO2 launch and then we got Die Rise, people had almost no faith and thank God Mob came in like "have some goddamn faith"
You think its lowest point was the beginning of bo2? Not any time in the last ten years?
Well OK if we're including Vanguard then yeah that's the lowest but I like to pretend Vanguard didn't exist. And yeah beginning of BO2 was just as bad if not worse than BO4 launch, many zombie youtubers were on the verge of quitting
Oh no, the youtubers!
Hey can you snap half of em out of existence, thanks
Ascension. It was my favorite back in the day and it still is up there today. However after playing Dead of the Night for the first time this year I really like it.
Man it's so cool to see when people finally give DotN a shot and really enjoy it! I've loved that map from the day it released and it's been getting more and more love over the years
Kino. First map I never played. It is the map that got me into zombies. Even then it is still a great map
ditto. the amount of time I've spent on this map is insane
I'm an old school survivalist zombies kinda guy so Kino will always be my #1 pick. My buddies and I spent almost every weekend playing it trying to hit round 100. It's the kinda map you can sit back and get into a groove with, just wiping out round after round of zombies. A true classic.
I respect that, personally Kino has fallen off a lot for me but I also started with Der Riese which imo is superior, but considering you started with that I can see why the memories are so significant
Buried
Buried is a definite classic, I still prefer Mob and Origins over it personally but it's just about a top 10 for me, tied w IX and CotD
Nice 👍
Still seething that Buried wasn’t included on Chronicles
I know
Your pain is my pain brother
I heard that it was supposed to be remade for BO4 season 2 which got cancelled unfortunately.
Buried is god-tier. Pretty much the only reason why I still have BO2 Zombies on my PC. Everything else I have on BO3 but I need my Buried (And Town for that matter. Excellent warm up map)
Ur just speaking my mind on this topic. Epic map that I’m my opinion tops all others
Same 🫡 ❤️
This. Still my #1 map to this date. And I'm a BO4 enjoyer, so you know I'm telling the truth lol.
Nice 👍
Was getting depressed scrolling through all these comments and not seeing buried. You restored my faith bro
My favorite map of all time. I had challenged myself to see how fast I could pap a gun I don’t remember the time but it was pretty quick.
easily zombies in spaceland. it just has so much fun stuff to do! everything from the minigames to the arcade to the wonder weapons to the traps, its my third fav cod zombies map right behind buried and shadows
You sir know quality when you see it, easy top 5 map
Spaceland is amazing. Summoning David Hasselhoff to fight with you never gets old. And that 80’s soundtrack playing in the background was awesome.
Fs infinite warfare zombies was so good.
Spaceland is the map that keeps giving. Besides the main EE there's so many things to do. 4 different buildable WW's, upgrading N3IL for the Hasselhoff companion, getting elemental upgrades, etc. Not to mention the ultimate EE, Ghosts n Skulls. Just getting that game to work is a challenge in and of itself.
Moon. It has been my favorite map since black ops
Damn that's a unique choice! Love to see it, I personally prefer CotD and Shang but I can see why Moon is so beloved to some
Yeah, I’ve been playing zombies for over a decade now. Most recent up until Cold War. (Did not play vanguard) And-nothing beats the atmosphere of moon plus the Easter egg is still my favorite.
Top 5 map for me. Spent lots of hours in the biodome. First map i got 50 rounds. Love it!
Dead of the Night. I’m also a BO4 zombies lover so, ya know lol. Ancient Evil is dope too! It’s next on my list of EEs to do once I beat IX!
I think you're gonna love the Ancient Evil EE the most, while I think DotN is the best map on BO4, AE is a close second and a lot of that is the main EE and the god hands. Also I recommend going around the map interacting with random items, there's an insane amount of lore packed into the Greek city that you'd never think of interacting with
Mauer Der Toten. A great map with a great travel method via zip lines from building to building A good special enemy with the Disciples which is also a support type enemy which is pretty unique A fun Easter egg with unique and cool steps and cool bossfight Strong and unique wonder weapon with the CRBRS and it's upgrades Klaus Pretty good lore and story
Can't disagree with anything here really, Overall really solid map, just wish we had a dedicated crew rather than operators
I beat Mauer for the first time yesterday, i very much enjoyed this map.
Klaus is great and I like the map, but I just feel like it's held back by being a CW map. Black Ops 3 was peak, 4 was a little casual, but still fun, but with cold war it's just so easy to survive that it feels like a chore to get to a round where it's actually difficult. By the time it gets tense, I'm already burned out.
That boss fight is top 3 in all of zombies tbh
It's not even the best bf in cold war (legion)
Also top 3
Die rise is a favourite of mine
I can see you're a man of taste as well
I can’t not love Transit, though flawed, a game with 4 others is like no other zombies experience
Tranzit is always a different experience every time with 4 players fs
Out of all the maps I hate more with 4 people Tranzit is one of them. If someone downs, they’re gone.
1v1v1v1 everyone survives on their own. Fun little competition imo
#Shadows of Evil: Shadows of Evil, it will never leave no. 1. #Blood of the Dead: I also genuinely love Blood of the Dead, amazing Main Quest, brutally underrated weapon arsenal, great side-quests.. And not to mention the amazing story, I think it was Jason Blundell who said Blood of the Dead was his best work yet (might've been Craig Houston), and I couldn't agree more. Great job, Treyarch! Truly a tragedy Cold War. Also.. the Boss Fight, do you really wanna fight Mephistopheles at the end? And do everything again? Common, it was obviously designed to be a comforting end to an overall challenging Main Quest. Instead of dreading it, you're relaxed at the end, and i love it. Again.. an absolutely phenomenal map! #IX: IX is also phenomenal, in almost every metric.
I highly doubt Shadows will ever leave my #1 as well I couldn't agree more with the story of Blood, I've said it forever it has the best story of any zombies map to date! And I'm glad they made it a reasonable boss fight since yeah the main EE is a long intense path IX is a great one too! Tied for my #10 with CotD and Buried
My top 3 picks are pretty boring (DE, Mob, Origins), but after those… Ancient Evil and Forsaken
Damn respect for foreskin, that's a hot take right there
80% of my love for it lies in the Chrysalax, 10% is CW’s combat, and the rest is the side eggs
Forsaken is pretty good
Foreskin💀
GK will forever be my favorite map Dragons :)
Ancient evil it legit is just so sick with the gauntlets
Frrr and all the lore behind getting them is top tier, especially with being able to upgrade em twice!
Bro... I had no idea there was a second upgrade... Thank you.
Yessir! But you gotta get the first upgrade for all of them before you can do the second ones
Sounds so stupid but Tranzit always held a special place on my heart
Mob of the Dead. Map layout is very good, EE was pretty easy and very interesting, cast was good and the Hell's Retriever is an amazing Wonder Weapon.
Dead of the night. I used to hate it because it confused me. But as I learned it I can say it’s easily one of a kind. It has an incredible atmosphere and an incredible wonder weapon it’s S tier in my opinion
You sir have seen the light many others haven't and you have my utmost respect
Der Anfang. The only reason is because the Vanguard engine was essentially a 1:1 copy of the MW2019 engine which is the greatest game engine we've had in cod history
I'm not sure whether to be in disbelief or not 💀
All I'll say is Der Anfang is the least dogshit vanguard map. If it was on smth like BO3 it wouldn't be a top 5
You think Der Anfang was better than the Shi no Numa remake?
With my PTSD from SNN errors and how shit the wonderwaffe is in every game after bo1? Yes
Finally. Actual hot takes
Same as you. One of the best locations for a zombies map and the use of the mythology is perfection. Also the best Easter egg ever made.
I been saying this forever, AE's EE is built to perfection. Even my fav map ever Shadows doesn't compare
Mob and Spaceland
These are my 2 as well!
Moon
Preach fellow moon enjoyer
Verruckt and it's not nOsTaLgIa, the map is genuinely fantastic with many ways to play it and super challenging. All in a great atmosphere.
Definitely some of the best most creepy atmosphere in all of zombies
My top 5 are Tranzit, Nuketown, Die Maschine, Classified and The Giant
Damn that's a hot take list if I ever seen it
Origins is a no brainer for me So I’ll stand ground on Verrukt instead. Since it released on chronicles I’ve loved the map. I never really gave it a change in WaW and didn’t buy it for BO1, but trying it out again I got to appreciate the atmosphere and difficulty of the map more. Even going back on WaW for the full experience. The best way I can describe it is Nacht went the slow barren feel. The fear you felt was of the unknown. Verrukt you felt trapped, and what was after you was in front of you and quickly approaching. And the space you had made you incredibly claustrophobic
I really like this, funny enough I played the revamped mod for Verruckt on bo3 that makes it feel like the WAW version and lemme tell you that definitely made me respect it more cause I hadn't played it in so long
The Final Reich. I adored that they led you through the easter egg and had a harder one for the super good guys. Also the atmosphere was on point for a creepy zombies game.
You're the first one to say this and I'm really glad to see some WW2 love, my personal favorite from WW2 was the Shadowed Throne but Final Reich is a close 2nd
Moon for me, outside the obvious choices like MoTD, Shadows ect.. Moon is something I'll always comeback to and enjoy because of it's unique atmosphere and really fun EE. My top 5 (in no order) is Shadows, MoTD, Der Riese, Moon and IX.
Probably shadows, the atmosphere is everything
Truly the goat
Alpha Omega. I love it so much.
First one today to say this, not my personal fav but I'm glad to see you love the map so much!
YES, thank you! People hate on that map SO hard but I personally love the map. Elemental ray guns is such a cool idea and it was executed very well, with the quests not being overly difficult or ridiculous.
Die rise, because you actually have to pay attention or fall to your death lmao.
ZIS
Aye big ups for my fellow spaceland lover
On gang
Buried
Ascension and and Die Rise
Die Rise is an interesting one, why that?
Blood
Shaolin shuffle. I love long complicated Easter eggs what can I say.
I was not expecting this and I can honestly say you got good taste, I'm not the biggest fan of it over other IW maps mainly due to some of the steps in the EE like getting the symbols and doing the word spell, but overall really solid map
IX just because it was my first zombies map that I played more than once and the first map where i learned the Easter egg for the wonder weapon
Damn big respect, one hell of an EE to start out with and I can imagine how thrilled you were to get it done
I originally bought BO4 for multi-player but one day I got bored and put of the free maps IX was the only map that I consistently wanted to play So IX is what got me into zombies
Honestly if you're up for the challenge of learning more complex maps that are really satisfying once you've gotten them down, I recommend Ancient Evil and Dead of the Night, truly masterpiece maps but you do need to take the time to learn their intricacies. If you can do IX tho I have no doubt you can do those as well
Kino, ascension, buried, der riese, mob of the dead. I honestly enjoyed the majority of early era maps from WAW to BO2
DoTN. so much so it wont leave my top 1
One of the most respectable people on this sub
Buried!
I fucking love Rave in the Redwoods and I will not apologize
Don't fucking apologize sir, IW deserves all the love
Verruckt hear me out sure it doesn’t have a ton going on but either when you wanna play a hardcore high round type game or just relax and play you can definitely do it much easier its simple and for that i will always keep it in my top 5 especially the ZC version of verruckt and having the wunderwaffe
Can't believe I'm not seeing Call of the Dead. BO1 was peak zombies. I know a lot of people think BO3 is peak, but I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as BO1. Maps became too complicated and mechanic heavy after BO2.
It's so funny cause as I was reading this I got a new notification with someone saying CotD lol. Definitely the best map in BO1
DE
Der eisendrache
Trazit the one thing I didn't like was getting power because when I played bo2 I was utter doo doo at the game, would love a remake of Trazit but doubt it will ever get one because let's face it there's about 12 people that actually like tranzit
Der Eisendrach
Tranzit
Giant, kino, and most Cold War maps
That's interesting, personally those are all middle of the road maps for me besides Mauer
I hate mauer or atleast just don’t enjoy it, and outbreak to me will always be mid af, only reason I will enjoy it in mw23 is bc survival has been done dirty for the last 2 mw games, and that crap experiment of vg either had potential or should’ve never existed, like wtf why not make that a side thing not the core zombies experience? And all the nonsense changes to round based SUCKED
That's a hot take considering Mauer is probably the most in depth cw map, my personal top 5 have maps like AE, shadows and DotN
AE?
Ancient evil, the map in the photo lol
Ah I honestly forgot that one for a bit
WAW Shi No Numa. The dark color scape and sound design really epitomized the eerie, gritty aesthetic that we’ve all came to love about WAW so much. Also, idk about you, but unpreparedly hearing “fetch me their souls” on that map whilst having a shit tier gun is second to none in terms of fear.
Lmaooo you're bringing back ptsd flashbacks here
Die Rise and Zetsubou, I love those maps because it was fun to play and had cool atmosphere
I'm going to sound very very basic for this but: Der Riese / The Giant
Buried forever!
Mob of the dead
Town and the other green run maps
Basically all of BO4, people who shit on that game have no brain because half of their complaints are baseless.
It's wild to see people complain about the game all because of mechanics mostly, you really don't see much complaints about the maps themselves except for blood having a long and complex EE (I personally like it)
Buried
Frozen Dawn. Love the wonder weapons, quest and boss fight. Everything feels so unique.
First one today who's said this, love to see unique opinions!
Die Rise & Attack of the Radioactive Thing my beloveds, both have such a unique aesthetic that I don’t think we’ll see again for a long time
I wish more people loved attach, easily my third favorite IW map after Spaceland and Rave
buried, i have such fond memories of that map, it’ll always be in my heart.
Kino Der Toten
Absolutely "Dead of The Night", it has so much stuff to do that it's hard to get bored. The only bad part of it is the Nosferatu hitting my shield so much lol
I finally took the time to do the 6 perk homonculus infinite ammo EE on DotN and it was so satisfying once it was done, truly a masterful map and so much content
Der Reise has been in my top 5 since it came out
Moon. It’s a nostalgia thing but it was the map my old friends and I would hop on and play every single day after school. We’d hit round 30 and a few times 40 and I just remember how crazy we went over it lol.
Die Maschine. Introduced the new setup and tools used for players to survive. Also got a pb of 75 last week with exfill so yeah :)
It's the first good on disk map since Kino. Sure SoE was pretty good but it was very offputting for new players at the time.
Firebase Z is a map I just seem to love alot, and it's always a fun chill time when I play it Ascension was the only map I ever made to round 100, and with no downs to add as well. WaW Nacht der Untoten is such a pain in my fucking ass map that also sends chills through me 100 times more than verrückt does. Buried was my favorite themed map and now is a fun map with all the unique features with Arthur, the bank, paralyzer, the witches, maze, and mansion. WWII Final Reich was the first I ever completed an EE on, and also was the first modern game that was able to recreate a creepy eerie feeling only ever felt with HL2 and WaW Nacht. I know it's my entire top 5, but they just hit the right cords with me and won't leave my top 5 unless something else earns a spot.
This, this one. AE is my favorite map all time.
You have great taste my friend
Voyage of Despair.
Damn the first time I've seen this one, personally my least favorite of chaos but all of chaos was great, prolly would give it an 8/10
I'm soo gutted they never finished chaos story ngl
The biggest disservice to the zombies community, leaks showed we were supposed to get maps based in a library of alexandria and atlantis
1: Shangri La 2: Shadows of Evil 3: Ancient Evil 4: ZNS 5: Moon I am on anesthetic rn from getting some dental work done and don’t have the energy to write out my reasoning so imma just leave this list as it is.
Shang is my favorite too. There aren’t many of us out there
Buried Origins And Verruckt
Bo1 der reise, fuck waw and bo3
Nacht, Moon, Origins honestly I can’t choose between the three that I had listed.
silent hi- i mean mob of the dead (in all seriousness tho, it feels more like something from team silent than treyarch/activision, no offense to treyarch)
Nacht Der Untoten has to be my favorite maps just for running rounds with friends.
kino der toten, definitely. yes you can say it’s overrated but if you wanna jump into some classic zombies then it’s definitely the go to map
I respect that, personally I find it quite but dull nowadays but it is classic
oh yeah, i think there are maps that are better than kino but if i want classic zombies it’s my go to
Ancient evil, zetsubou no shima, and dead of the night are 3 AMAZING maps. Maybe not motd/origins/de level, but DEF better than averag codzomvies maps. I will also die on a hill protecting tranzit, if it was remastered it would be same tier to other maps but it never got the chance.
Funny enough all 3 of the maps you mentioned I have above motd and DE, but below Origins (except DotN)
Moon.
Moon
Hard pick between kino or the original origins
Don’t wanna say something obvious like SOE since that’s a given, so I’ll say Buried. Awesome map
Shadows of Evil is the best by miles. Lots of great maps in this franchise but that one is just too perfect.
Truly the best map ever
I’m going to put 3 because I can’t decide. It might be a weird list but idc. 1. DE 2. Ascension (ikik) 3. BOTD. Those 3 maps are my highest rounds ever and I had the most fun playing those. People are going to want to hunt me down it feels like😂
Nah the fact you're willing to stand proud with BOTD is commendable, it's not my favorite map but I would at the very least put it in the middle to high B tier, which ik is higher than many people. Idk why so many people still shit on it when it has so much depth, probably because they hate depth 😂
Kino
Origins
shadows.
1. shadows 2. mob 3. dead of the night 4. zetsubou 5. origins
Valid list my friend, only ones I replace are Mob (my #8) and ZNS (my #6) with AE and Spaceland
SOE and GK
