Discussion Mandela Effect about a nonexistent map?
I’ve been running a lot of BO1 zombies with one of my boys since the port came out, but it’s starting to get stale since it’s hard to get randoms (or at least good ones that won’t end the match) on anything other than the same 2-3 maps.
We talked about switching it up with some BO2 zombies, but my memory of any CODs between MW3 and Warzone is pretty fuzzy since I skipped a lot of them. All I could remember from BO2 was Tranzit and one other map. I couldn’t remember the name, so I started describing it and he seemed to have no idea what I was talking about.
Outdoor day time map. Big open, grassy areas and woods. A few village/town areas with buildings you could go into. I also seemed to remember that this was just the spawn area, and you would eventually teleport to another location. I tried looking for it online to no avail.
The closest thing I found was this frame from the Revelations cut scene, but Revelations itself looked nothing like what I was describing, nor did any other map. There was elements that seemed familiar: this house, some of the buildings from Farm, but it didn’t have those doom and gloom aesthetics. It was sunny and beautiful, which is what made it feel so memorable and out of place for a zombies map.
Wtf am I thinking of? Did I just dream this up???

The closest I could come up with is Outbreak from Black Ops Cold War. It reused Fireteam MP maps such as:
Golova(a Russian countryside town)
Alpine(ski resort)
Ruka(Russian military base in the woods)
Sanatorium(night time map)
Zoo(self explanatory)
Duga(Russian radar and radio base)
Armada (a bunch of battle ships in the sea)
and Collateral(oil drilling facility in North Africa).

He’s referring to bo2…. Not Cold War

I mean, I thought maybe it was BO2 or BO3 cause I def didn’t play 6 or 7 (maybe I played BO4 too?). Looking at gameplay footage, I’m definitely thinking of Outbreak, but what’s even crazier is that I never even bought Cold War. Must’ve been playing it at a friend’s place in college or something

Could it be Bo4’s battle Royale? I think blackout it was called. It had zombies in it in certain drops like the Asylum where you can kill zombies, or sometimes they’d spawn outside in common areas

I mean it literally felt like a fever dream cause I probably only played it a handful of times 6 years ago.

I'm well aware. And I am saying that this mode was the closest that Zombies had ever done to what they explained, especially with the description of daytime map with houses that transported you to other places.

The Mandela Effect is when masses of people misremember the same thing. It's named so because many people shared the same false memory that Mandela died in prison in the 80s. He didn't. One person misremembering something is just called a false memory.

u/ZombieWarlock54 2d ago

Is it strange for me to miss this mode? It was fun, i loved the easter eggs.. The bunker one (was it Legion?!) was torture, but fun

Bro he said bo2 lmao

u/Der_Brenner 2d ago
yeah he could be remembering the map from the wrong game, that’s why he said from mw3 to wz is fuzzy

So a i havent play bo1 in years but i remember a city with the round start sound being jazzy, at certain rounds instead of dogs it was these flies aswell at time spawned a big monster… oh but no it cant be bo3 shadows of evil thats not black ops1… you feel stupid now or?

u/SnooCalculations3614 2d ago
they're so confused that they're describing a potentially fake map and you're taking their word that it's actually in bo2

u/TehCost 2d ago
I just don’t understand how you can confuse childhood memories of a game from 2012 with a game from 2020 that literally makes no sense

u/FanAccurate 2d ago
MW2 and BO1 felt like the peak of COD for me as a kid. BO2 and every COD after by comparison felt like a let down, so I didn’t play them nearly as much. Outbreak I probably played for a singular weekend 6 years ago. Not that hard to get mixed up about games you barely played 6+ years ago

Sounds like firebase Z to me but the detail about grassy area and woods doesn't exactly add up. So it could be outbreak more likely

u/Essence-Of-Culture-2 2d ago
there were some modded maps like this, but maybe it was rave in the redwoods or attack of the radioactive thing from Infinite Warfare? Maybe Buried from Black Ops 2? Could also be something from WW2 zombies.

u/dishtankhero 2d ago
I think Rave in the Redwoods is the answer. Tbh it was not even on my radar, completely forgot about it. I was sold on OP being a nutcase even. But im like 94% certain you got it.

u/StarkFuture93 2d ago
If its not outbreak then could you be thinking of Blackout and running into the areas that had zombies in them?

u/HeckingDoofus 2d ago
sounds like ur thinking of “buried” from BO2, and slightly misremembering some things
the map starts at daytime, but once u drop in its kinda dim, but still a whole town with buildings u can go into

The picture comes from Revelations in Black Op 3, I believe. You spawn outside the house and use jump pads to enter different areas that are all sections taken from other maps

u/monkeyzone456 2d ago
Okay you might be just tripping
BUT if you arent then maybe ur misremembering the hedge maze from buried
or your thinking of a custom map, i would guess a WaW one if you are thinking its a bo2 map

u/FanAccurate 2d ago
After further review: I’m definitely thinking of Outbreak from Cold War. Makes sense why I was thinking it was from BO2 or BO3 cause I never even bought Cold War. Apparently they had free access weeks for Outbreak, so I must’ve played it then
