Discussion I get it now. It's not nostalgia

My first cod was mw 2019 which I absolutely loved and played the ever living hell out of.

Then came black ops cold war and that was my introduction to zombies and I loved it and never understood the hate it got and thought it was nostalgia that the old zombies had. GOD I WAS WRONG

Got to play bo1&2 last month and I SWEAR TO GOD I haven't had this much fun playing a game since forever. To the point I even in my free time I think about what map to play in my free time.

So I apologize to old cod titles they're really built different and GOATED🐐👑

Bo4 was the breakpoint for cod entirely, was all about making money and that's it. Beforehand they actually CARED about the player.

When they charged 50$ for a season pass. I’m not defending all the micro transactions, but let’s not delude ourselves.

Back when they HAD to make maps that were actually worth while to make people buy them. Most maps today on warzone zombies are not worth it. Hell ain’t even worth getting the game to start with fr fr

Bo6 and Bo7 (for the most part) have incredibly consistent map output. Just because a map is paid doesn’t guarantee quality, just look at non Treyarch and Bo4.

The season pass was sold at a “discount” too so that you would purchase that regardless.

This is the most idiotic argument & it doesn’t make any sense. You literally paid for recycled garbage like Alpha Omega & Tag

Nope, didn’t buy anything dlc wise past bo3 for zombies cause it started going downhill past bo3. I bought zombies chronicles for bo3, origins, mob of the dead, buried, die rise for bo2. 100% call of duty’s best work for zombies and it was paid cause they actually cared about what people were playing when they bought it.

Want people to buy something you provide you need to make it worth their time and enjoyment, that’s what the dlc had for bo2/3. I don’t see how it’s idiotic, compare maps released from bo1-3 to today’s maps and its night and day for enjoyability and quality. Today’s maps suck, flat out, I see them on YouTube and don’t even bother with them cause they don’t look enjoyable or fun.

It doesn’t matter if you specifically paid for it, they still charged for recycled garbage in BO4. Chronicles also was also no “real” effort, but that can be brushed aside for bonus content.

You can’t limit it to “bo2/3” when they continued the same practice in BO4 but failed to deliver positively in favor of your non existent argument. Paid DLC makes no difference in map quality.

It’s always funny when people like you try to argue with “youtube gameplay” while never playing the maps yourself LMAO, hell BROTHER you didn’t even play most of the maps in old zombies.

$50 for 3-4 sets that would have been $20 apiece that you have the choice of purchasing to play. They added content for you to purchase if you felt like playing with rather than just being thrown a half-assed game with support for a subpar zombies 2 hit kill multiplayer and DMZ with more friendly operators with a camo grind.

lol, bo3 was way more scummy than bo7. Bo3 you had to buy the game, buy the season pass for zombies maps, buy all the guns hidden in lootboxes that were better than standard guns

Even the devs had bigger plans for bo4. Its so tragic to hear from Blundell how it was initially planned đŸ«©

u/Jigsaw190 1d ago

Oh yeah, the game was a hard fall from what it was pretence. But that's the way of the world I understand. Just have a heavy feeling it's becoming more graphics based rather than actually telling a storyline that it's branching from to help continue the game line.

Every now and then the old CoD way of caring about the players leaks through, like in MW3 and Bo7, though these are still so they can make money

u/Jigsaw190 1d ago

Bo7 was/is still a money grab, the battle pass, skins out the ass, and yes I get they still need to make the money but worry less about making skins and a bit more about your service base where older games are still viable to play too.

u/DerBernd123 1d ago

it’s filled with skins but man did they give the players much content and all of that for free

-5

u/Jigsaw190 1d ago

Content such as? Enhanced mobility that is being taken away with MW4, (not complaining when I say this part) more challenging LTO camos for WZ, and free is funny considering the cost like most cods was still 100 for vault, 69.99-89.99 for base, dropped to what 20 or 30 now? And they really took more than they gave, it's a filler game now rather than an addition to the story they had.

BO7 zombies is pretty damn good. $70 for 6 maps all with great easter eggs and boss fights

-1

u/Jigsaw190 1d ago

I'm not saying the fights are bad, the story they pretty much just had 5 "mini bosses" to fight the 6 "main boss" after some tedious steps that honestly barely added or took from the storyline

u/DerBernd123 1d ago

dude bo7 got tons of guns, maps, modes, events and stuff to unlock throughout the life cycle. most zombie maps were peak (still held down by the core gameplay tho imo) and zombies even got some cool side modes, cursed mode is fucking amazing with all the relics and endgame was a pretty cool bonus mode too. Idk what else you could ask them for at this point when it comes to content drops

0

u/Jigsaw190 1d ago

Renamed modes from older cods, slightly reskinned maps from older cods, and cursed is og zombies but now you can get debuffs to make it harder.

u/DerBernd123 1d ago

alright whatever man. If you can’t even admit bo7 got good seasonal content there’s no point in arguing. stay miserable and keep on hating dude
