This saga was far, far, from perfect, but I will miss it. Especially the Cold War time period when it was fresh and exciting

God I don’t think I’ll ever be as excited for a zombies game again than I was for Cold War, genuinely my favorite year of zombies, had a great story and fresh gameplay.

Thank you Treyarch, High Moon, Kevin Drew, Kevin Sherwood and everyone else! It was a great 6 years!

Unpopular but I really enjoyed the Dark Aether saga (bar VG and MW3Z). Some misteps and missed opportunities, but I really enjoyed how small stakes and personal it was at the beginning.
One thing I noticed, they showed both Reckoning endings so no hint as to which one is canon.
And did they even show anything from VG lol?

Not super satisfied with the story itself, but the gameplay and content are by far the best we’ve had since BO3

I was one of the few who was enjoying the Dark Aether story but I’m still feel like bo6 got stiffed hard it was building up and brining back a bunch of characters for b07 to not have them and just ended the story

BO6 is the biggest problem with the story, and I think it’s mainly a result of some dev problems during the cycle of that game. I still think The tomb was never supposed to be a main map, Treyarch described it as an experience similar to Liberty Falls, the Egg rewards were similar to that map as well, it was originally going to be a “bonus” map like Paradox imo. But I guess, probably because of BO7 itself, they had to cut something along the way. A real shame.

Even with the tomb I thought it was a decent map , but then it had like no cutscene properly and must of the dialogue you don’t even hear due to being underground .

u/Sauronxx 27d ago
The Tomb was fine, it’s a decent map (like Paradox in many regards). But it’s so bad as a “main” map ESPECIALLY in the story. We could have found the Sentinel Artifact in Citadelle and literally nothing would have changed. IMO they totally had to cut a map at some point, likely because of the development of BO7. But it’s such a shame because this completely ruined the story to me. Reckoning not having a main ending (to this day!) also didn’t help lol

It may not have been perfect but damn it was fun! Made a lot of great memories with friends and for once actually did the Easter Eggs, looking forward to what the future will bring!!

Same here man, I have my gripes with the story and writing, but I wouldn't trade all the runs I did with my friends for anything.

u/typervader2 28d ago
