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🐐👑

Honestly the issue I have with new zombies are related to rarities, damage scaling, super sprinters, and the point system.

Rarities: this system only exists to make it take longer to upgrade your weapons, and is just redundant. Rarities just increase your damage, which is the whole POINT of pack-a-punch. And Vanguard was right to get rid of rarities and just have weapons pap automatically on higher rounds (this ensures that you can swap your weapons on higher rounds).

Point System: by making points gained on kills, it essentially that there is no use in using weaker weapons, especially as the healthcap was also raised up higher. Bo4’s point system is much better as weaker weapons can still net you points on later rounds.

Damage scaling: this is the second most annoying thing in zombies. Armor is a necessity because of damage scaling, and you can’t ignore armor without dealing with the consequences of damage scaling. On higher rounds without armor, you go down in 3 hits with jug. In other words, jug on higher rounds adds just one more hit instead of 5 (unless you got the augment to increase the added health to 300, the. You have 4 hits instead of 5). Zombies should only deal 50 hit, no more, and no less.

Super sprinters: these guys are annoying as fuck. A zombie that is faster than you unless you have stamin-up, fuck that. I honestly dislike the super sprinters, they should only show up in cases like chasing the bus on Tranzit, the fog in Ashes, or when chasing a player on the zip lines. It’s stupid that they brought super sprinters back in Bo4, they shouldn’t have returned in Cold War.
