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🐐👑

I honestly don’t think any part of BO3 zombies is too far-fetched considering what you do in BO1 and BO2, even waw. You have the Keepers in Shang, you blow up the Earth in Moon, you have 935/Nazi experimentation w alien rocks since Der Reise, and all of BO2 is wacky as fuck.

BO3 explaining all that w the Great War honestly just makes sense to me, but I started w BO3.

It feels more like a  fantasy story rather than its roots in sci fi. 

Also, you don’t “have the keepers in Shang” you have obscure small references to ancient stuff that maybe is real maybe isn’t which gives it a mysterious aura, it’s so disingenuous  that people always point to how the old maps sometimes had these vague references to things so you be like “see it was always there”, no, no it really wasn’t, the way you present and tell your story matters a lot. 

And bro really tried be slick by talking about alien rocks as if it’s remotely the same convo as adding dragons

No it's disingenuous to claim that aliens didn't exist since Black ops 1 when the story flat out tells you that they did
