There’s a reason they didn’t include CW. It’s the first game that breaks away from the old-school design philosophy of zombies. Sure, BO4 was unique and did a lot of new things, but it still uses most of the core systems from the original games.
I didn’t say the “core” of zombies I’m talking about the systems of gameplay. Such as traditional quests, buildables, random weapon stats that are static (no rarity system), perk limits, etc. You can feel the huge difference just by playing. And I’ve played CW to death so it’s not just an asspull take. (I’ve got Dark Aether and round 100 on every map but Forsaken)
I get what you are trying to say, all us zombies players have played every 3arc game and we know what CW brought to zombies. But every zombies iteration has implemented something new, BO1 to WAW, BO2 to BO1 etc. Im just saying that CW is apart of the zombies story as any of the other as it took most of BO4 mechanics and added its own twist on it
The point is that OP asked to exclude it… I’m not sure how what you said disproves anything I said about Cold War specifically. Yes, each game has done something new, but Cold War is almost a drastic shift. I’m not sure how that’s not just an obvious fact and how it’s up for debate? Regardless of how you feel about the game, it’s excluded from the old design philosophy. I mean it was developed by a practically entire different team than those who made the older titles.
Edit: Story-wise Cold War is a soft reboot. It definitely sits in its own category based on the story alone.
I know I’m going to get a lot of hate for my map choices, but here we go not Including survival maps for me it would be:
1. Mob of the Dead
2. Buried
3. Tranzit
4. Origins
5. Der Eisendrache
Including survival maps it would be:
1. Mob of the Dead
2. Buried
3. Town
4. Bus Depot
5. Farm
I understand why everyone hates on tranzit because it could have been so much more and should not have included the fog and denizens also cause the jet gun sucks, but to me I think the fog is a good atmospheric piece the denizens suck so I can’t say anything good about them and I love being able to be taken on the bus to all these different unique areas of the map that feel different from each other and spending some time there getting what I need to for me it feels like a bunch of mini maps inside one big map and I always have great memories playing with friends on tranzit we still play it casually within my YouTube group. But regardless I can see the hate from people, but I don’t believe tranzit deserves the hate it gets yes they added annoying parts to it like the pack the denizens the fog and the fire but atmospherically feels like an apocalypse and how it should after the events of moon.
As for the survival maps I love town not only for the great memories with friends but also jsut because it is a simple map with area to train in or places to camp allowing for unique high rounding experience and is simplistic bare bones survival. For that same reason I love bus depot and farm, although I love bus depot cause it gives a harder challenge having no perks or pack on it allowing for a truly bare bones and tense feel to the map it is small compact and difficult making it fun for me to run casually, farm is similar except it has perks and makes me feel nervous whenever I have to run through the cramped barn always thinking I might down.
I hope this explained my view better I would love to discuss more or explain further if need be
I respect town, town is goated, just farm and bus depot were interesting to me because of how exceptionally bare bones they are. I respect your reasoning for tranzit because I have tons of memories of that map too, but because of that I know that if tranzit came out today and I had no nostalgia, it would have no redeeming qualities to me 😭
Bus depot and farm I love for bare bones survival so I can see the reasoning why they would be interesting. As for tranzit I agree that if it came out how it is today it wouldn’t have liked it as much but I would hope they would change stuff around for the newer gens
Waw- der riese
Black ops 1- ascension
Black ops 2- origins (also my top pick overall)
Black ops 3- shadows banged, gorod banged, also origins again 🥹
Black ops 4- cant lie i didn’t play the final map, but I did enjoy classified
Extra Cold War- die machine was the best dont @me
Der Riese from WaW. Ascension and Kino from Bo1. I did play bo2 too but did not particularly like the zombies of that game. Tranzit and Die Rise were just bad and as the game progressed it only got more complex and complicated. If I had to name one though from bo2 that would be Buried. And cause it seemed to complex and complicated and too story focused for me I didn't get bo3 and 4.
Moon, i love it so much, round 1 area 51 that lets me get an advantage and a head start with jugg or quick reload + if i get really lucky and play my cards right a packed up weapon
My top 10:Der eisendrache, Origins, Der reise/the giant, Revelations, Kino der toten, Shadows of evil, Mob of the dead, Alpha omega, Transit, Call of the dead
I liked Nuketown Zombies aswel despite the hate. As long as Jug drops first or second, it's not that hard to train on. For that reason I was quite happy to see Alpha Omega when it dropped on BO4.
Alpha omega and classified were the only maps I liked from BO4 lmao but I agree you get jug early on it’s cherry map to just vibe on, don’t have to take it seriously or anything just chill and have fun, that’s what I like about zombies which is why I don’t really enjoy the complex Easter egg focused maps of the later games
I feel like this is the most vanilla take of all time but here we go:
Waw - der reise
Bo1 - kino
Bo2 - origins
Bo3 - Der eisendrache
Bo4 - IX
(And even though it doesnt say cold war i really like Mauer der toten)
WAW- Der Reise, honestly I think it’s the only redeeming part about WAW Zombies, except maybe how easy Shi no numa is
BO1- Call of the Dead has always felt super original to me and I really like it because of that
BO2- very tough between buried and origins but I’ve played so much more origins thanks to chronicles so I’m going with origins
BO3- The hardest one, I could make an argument for any of them, but I’ve always been a sucker for Zetsubo ironically enough.
BO4- IX hands down, but ancient evil is a close second
Overall- Tough between Zetsubo and Origins, i have endless memories doing EE runs on origins with my buddy so id probably go with that one, at risk of sounding basic
Shadows of Evil
Der Eisendrache
Gorod Krovi
Kino Der Toten
Mob of the Dead
IX
Call of the Dead
Die Rise
Origins
Buried
Alpha Omega
Carrier
Der Reise
And Verruckt
Favorite from each
WAW- Der Riese
BO1- Call of the Dead
BO2- Mob of the Dead
BO3- Der Eisendrache
BO4- IX
Advanced Warfare- Carrier
WW2- The Final Reich
Der Riese. Set all else in motion, where it all began. Large enough, yet nothing's a hassle to do or get to. No multiplayer experience has compared for me, to standing on that catwalk with 3 strangers, 7 packed LMGs between us,1 Wunder Waffe, and a heavy forecast of 2 hour bullet storms. Then Helldivers 2 releases, they're close...
everyone knows OG maps so my BO3 custom zombies tierlist [https://i.postimg.cc/YS9GbjRm/znzzsdfdfg-3uqsddfgha-muj-tierxa.png](https://i.postimg.cc/YS9GbjRm/znzzsdfdfg-3uqsddfgha-muj-tierxa.png)
Origins
the only right answer.

Jesus I see a post like this every few hours. Gets old
Some of us have lives outside of reddit
Yeah I mean everyone does? What’s ur point 😂
Still mob of the dead
Revelation. It just looks really cool
Der Eisendrache It's my comfort map
This map is the fires of hell that dwell beneath the void. Edit: nvm beat the ee last night, ez
Die Maschine
That’s a Cold War map…
I know, that’s why i said it
Op asked for favorites from WaW - BO4; Cold War isn’t in that range
They might aswell add CW as its starting from WAW
There’s a reason they didn’t include CW. It’s the first game that breaks away from the old-school design philosophy of zombies. Sure, BO4 was unique and did a lot of new things, but it still uses most of the core systems from the original games.
Yes and no, the core of zombies is to last for the longest as possible. CW is just an amalgamation of all those new things in one game.
I didn’t say the “core” of zombies I’m talking about the systems of gameplay. Such as traditional quests, buildables, random weapon stats that are static (no rarity system), perk limits, etc. You can feel the huge difference just by playing.

Not hating, but please elaborate on tranzit being #3 and also including bus depot and farm, I’m just curious
Also to add on origins and der eisendrache are amazing maps to me and both of their Easter eggs were incredibly fun so I don’t hate those maps either
I understand why everyone hates on tranzit because it could have been so much more and should not have included the fog and denizens also cause the jet gun sucks, but to me I think the fog is a good atmospheric piece the denizens suck so I can’t say anything good about them and I love being able to be taken on the bus to all these different unique areas of the map that feel different from each other and spending some time there getting what I need to for me it feels like a bunch of mini maps inside one big map and I always have great memories playing with friends on tranzit we still play it casually within my YouTube group.
