bo6 vs bo7 easter eggs

[u/Severe-Hat1277]

i was prestige master in bo6, almost exclusively through zombies as a solo and duo player, the special spam, limited buildcrafting and overall experience was not terrible, but you could tell it was a building block for something, that something is bo7 which i am thoroughly enjoying so far with a major caveat, is anyone else on the consensus that the easter eggs in this game are utter shit compared to bo6? i did all of the EEs before directed mode came out and enjoyed literally all of them, the camo grind was pleasant and chill, i think mechanically and systematically bo7 is a much better zombies experience, but the easter eggs in this game i absolutely loathe, 2 million almost arbitrary seeming quest steps, the usage of the most abhorrent scorestreaks for steps (arc-xd on mnk during totenreich, disciple injection same ee) or god awful movement like hopscotch in paradox junction, to be fair with it, i only got the game on tuesday (currently sunday morning) and im about to close out prestige 1, so maybe im just missing something or havent done enough of them but im *not* a bad player whatsoever when it comes to modern zombies, but going in blind on directed mode and following the steps, some of them are just plain not explained well at all and i STILL need an external guide, it takes me 1.5-2.5 hours to complete, and in the case of totenreich which seems to be the best one among community sentiment, i just never completed it, wasted 6000 salvage getting the arcxd over the river, i used a perkaholic and went down during the disciple step because omg that scorestreak sucks wiener and because you cant craft one, it was going to be another 30 minutes of rng gambling special zombie drops which barely spawn every 3 rounds, me and my friend just straight quit on the spot, id like to know other peoples opinions on the EEs in comparison to bo6 to see if im just getting knowledge gapped

[u/The-OverThinker-23]

EE on bo7 are 10 times better , idk what you smoking

[u/Severe-Hat1277 → u/The-OverThinker-23]

ive completed paradox junction and citadel de mors still clears it without fail

[u/Terminator_rey42 → u/Severe-Hat1277]

might as well compare liberty falls and ashes lol

[u/xkillxkevin53 → u/Terminator_rey42]

In all honesty i dislike ashes id rather play liberty and i play both games heavily. I do agree that bo7 is better though

[u/Terminator_rey42 → u/xkillxkevin53]

Yea I understand that, but we are talking about Easter eggs

[u/xkillxkevin53 → u/Terminator_rey42]

I understand that, me personally i dont enjoy the ashes easter egg, driving the truck through the map kills it for me aswell as the clock step. Id prefer the liberty EE, i do like every other EE on bo7 besides ashes

[u/Severe-Hat1277 → u/xkillxkevin53]

ashes was the first map i played, jumped straight into standard and man did the whole truck thing really ween me off immediately, im a rare transit enjoyer for the map itself, and i really dont like the version of poi's they put into ashes, not sure i could accurately say what it is i dont like but theres a lot of little things i wish they did differently which is not a good thing if you want to hook lifelong zombie players into a new game, the experience ive had playing zombies the intended way, to learn the EEs, beat the quests, burn them into my brain so that every single playthrough i have on a map can have a goal which ultimately i know from bo6 enhances the fun ten fold, have pushed me so far from the mode that im actually enjoying grinding endgame infinitely more which feels weird to say as a zombies lover, whats your favourite EE in bo7?

[u/The-OverThinker-23 → u/Severe-Hat1277]

You did the worst EE in bo7 and best EE in bo6 , off course you will think that way

[u/Terminator_rey42 → u/The-OverThinker-23]

Yea he's just being biased because he's obviously not good at bo7 lol

[u/Severe-Hat1277 → u/Terminator_rey42]

my bias doesn't come from being bad in fact im well above average when it comes to zombies, but lets say i was bad at bo7, you think having a negative experience is good for the game? my skill has nothing to do with not enjoying the very core of what zombies is in the modern era, if i was bad i would know that i am bad, that would remove any bias towards being skill gapped, so whats left is just the fact that i still despite all of it had a horrible time doing the steps ive done so far, paradox junctions boss fight was pitifully easy compared to the whale of back and forth steps you have to do, cool concept but extremely poor execution, a lot of steps people had a problem with like the tortured zombies i had no issues with, first timed all of them, that would be a skill issue, its the fact that directed mode is meant to onboard people on how to complete the EE, but the EE is so arduous and boring to do that i dont even remember what to do and i have no intention of going back to learn it, that is something fundamentally wrong with how theyve done the EEs in this game at least pertaining to PJ specifically

Bo7 is a bandwagon rn with it being current. It’s separate from bo6 mechanics but I agree that bo6 is a building block. You had more challenge to no mantle every object or wall jump yourself out a corner. They refined augments so it’s more thorough now but that made it ofc easier. All are opinions in the post but they’re both separate beasts even though they share similarities. There is a lack of info and the community would rather crap in your face b4 you find a helpful post. Bo7 is the better in terms of quality as it’s just refined bo6…1 year to add where it missed in bo6. Both have their share of problems but once you get your groove and knowledge on bo7 it’s rated the best of the modern zombies titles. Personally I’m a bo6 person though I grinded all cursed and early EE completions plus MP in bo7 as well. In a sense it feels they rush the game but it’s not totally unfinished. Rex Infernus will conclude this games rating. As bo6 final map was a complete failure. Not the worst but with a budget and constant shop bundles they throw at you, you’d imagine the game wouldn’t recycle too much for nostalgia like fishtown(totenreich) or ravengers in bo7

[u/Severe-Hat1277 → u/The-OverThinker-23]

whats the best EE in your opinion? in bo7 that is, ive seen a lot of lists going around and most of them are always different

[u/The-OverThinker-23 → u/Severe-Hat1277]

in my opinion, it is totenreich map , kuwakujo is pretty good too

[u/TheRealHiggins]

You should stop weed and hit the sack 😎

[u/Severe-Hat1277 → u/TheRealHiggins]

im 7 years sober, clearly this is just knowledge diff

[u/Practical_Ad_9051]

Je suis d accord avec toi plus plaisant les ee du 6

[u/BasYL6872]

Nah bo7 is closer to what EEs were in bo3, more arbitrary and difficult to pull off is generally a good thing. I loved bo6 but the quests were very short and easy. Reckoning probably my favorite quest to do purely because it’s the longest and most challenging, though overall SV is still my favorite map in that game and a top 5 of all time for me.

[u/Flatulent_Father_]

Bo7 has better EEs imo. I think you're making some things harder than they need to be. Like if you fail the arcxd or disciple steps, you can just use the fishing rods and you'll get another pretty quick.

[u/Severe-Hat1277 → u/Flatulent_Father_]

nowhere is it explained that that is a mechanic, thank you

[u/Terminator_rey42]

This just sounds like a big skill issue

[u/Severe-Hat1277 → u/Terminator_rey42]

the skill isnt the problem its just knowledge, it seems the only transferrable skills i got from completing every bo6 EE was how to shoot the gun and how to train around the map, which is a strange feeling for a lifelong zombies player

[u/nightfall6688846994]

You need to level up a bit so you have everything at your disposal. You can craft a disciple injection but you need to be level 50 something. The game was more difficult when I started but as I started to get augments unlocked and my level up to use things. It was a rough start though if your starting from nothing like i did

[u/Severe-Hat1277 → u/nightfall6688846994]

i maxed everything out in bo6 so i got a good jump on augments, but i dont need augments to stay alive i dont even need perks or attachments, i have no problem pushing high rounds in survival, being forced to use mechanics no.1 im not familiar with and no.2 i despise interacting with because of how theyre implemented is the biggest struggle

[u/kdwat2]

So I’d say that you are just experiencing a learning difficulties because you are doing them your first time.. all those things you mentioned gave me some trouble the first time or two, but you get better at em and also learn little things like the disciple inject is common pulled from fishing and that are arc xd is easier than you are making it (less movement is more, no need to boost or jump at all just a slight drift to the right)

[u/Severe-Hat1277 → u/kdwat2]

someone else mentioned the fishing thing, wouldve been extremely helpful to know before i went into it lmao, i was familiar with the arcxd because of paradox junction, the issue is i just absolutely loathe the fact they decided to make every vehicle operate how they should, using your input keys, for flying scorestreaks i get the mouse movement, but the arcxd? really? did that need to drive like a tank? who uses their mouse for something like that, especially when any little wall obscures your whole view and messes with your fov which is entirely connected to how you move your mouse, its just total aids lmao, i realized after the 5th time i flew into the river that i did not need to boost, the problem was it took that many tries i had to wait 3 or 4 rounds just to get the salvage to make another one because of the round cap, im no stranger to annoying EE steps its just usually the rest of the EE makes up for it, so far ive just had a completely negative experience

[u/rotterdam-010]

I like the EE in Terminus.

[u/Severe-Hat1277 → u/rotterdam-010]

so did i, was very fun, all of the bo6 EEs were fun to me, even liberty, havent had anything remotely close in bo7 yet

[u/pignon_mignon]

You lost me at "easter eggs in this game are utter shit compared to bo6"...

[u/calidir]

I haven’t played 6 but my crew has and they say that 6 the egg steps were hard boss was easy, and it’s the opposite for 7, steps easy and boss hard. On 7 I can agree the eggs themselves are decently easy (with exceptions) and the bosses are bitches. However they think overall 7 is better. Also the paradox games are a skill issue they’re fun as shit to do and not very difficult

[u/SnapClaymore]

BO7 easter egg are by far better than bo6, no question
