    Stop the bo4 slander already, could have been the best Zombies in the series, but it’s a close second behind bo3, due to nostalgia reasons and zombie chronicles.

    Absolutely beautifully detailed maps, easy to get into, with challenging but super interesting and well made easter eggs.

    We didn’t appreciate what we had back then, but everything we got after was a spit to the face. Looking back at it now, it’s an absolute gem. Fuck we even got difficulty levels, a new mode, and even more challenges with gauntlets. Nah fuck what I said, it takes the crown.

    Additionally what was rumored for year2. 4 additional maps, zombie chronicles 2 and the return of grief. It’s too bad all of that got scrapped. It would’ve made it’s lead only bigger

      B04 was under appreciated in its day for sure like IW. Both IW and B04 have grown in appreciation/love in the community the further we get from there lifecycles.

        Honestly I would say the opposite, the hate was kinda warranted back in the days. The game crashed a lot and the battle pass system that wasn’t progressable when playing zombie for like the first half(?) of the cycle was kind of a joke. Although it is also to blame partly on the community, for being simple-minded and not accepting changes like the perks. Although even that, was understandable in the beginning. But with the semi-jugg added later, speed cola as a bonus for having all perks, and double tap available through multiple pap’ing was nice additions and really you don’t miss much when playing now and you got used to it.

        On top, the variety for perks is just fantastic to have. If you’ve gotten used to it, it does suck hopping back into bo3 and having to get the at least 3 crunch perks simply because you have to.

        On bo4 there might be perks you run all the time because they suit your play style but there’s so much that I see different people playing. For example I see people swear on dying wish while personally that isn’t good for me at all. There’s just so much you can do with the system and it’s great.

        If the game released in it’s final state now it would be like literally the best thing to happen to zombies.

        I wish we’d have such high quality maps again
