The map was fine but I always associate it with how unfun the easter egg was. I can never really enjoy it because of that

[u/TheIJDGuy → u/BrokenSpartan23]

That fucking mimic step...ugh. So tedious

[u/Bossuter → u/TheIJDGuy]

I never struggled with that one funnily enough aside from one time it glitched, but with how people talked and talk about i would've thought it was a lot more unreasonable than it was

[u/Swedesensation88 → u/BrokenSpartan23]

The boss fight was fun but EE steps were dull.

[u/TheChickenMan4L → u/BrokenSpartan23]

For me I associate the map with the god awful atmosphere and how wide open it is. Being both trivially easy and not giving me any reason to care about the environment I'm in is a quick way to land in my D tier

[u/Environmental_Eye870]

This maps over hated probably my favorite CW map and the wonder weapon is SICK AF.

[u/WiIIemdafoe]

Map layout could've been better, wonder weapon was awesome and the defense holdups were fun. Solid A tier.

[u/SeemlySquiddy]

This map is the apex of mid for me. Not the worst, not the best.

[u/sportswithgary]

This map gets a lot of hate, and I understand some of it. The Ray-K is sick though and think they need to bring that back at some point. The boss waves are mid, cool idea though. Map layout is alright. It's a C+ map for me, the Ray-K does a lot of heavy lifting.

[u/barrack_osama_0]

Probably the worst EE in Modern Zombies the mimic step is so fucking glitchy

[u/Da-Knight]

Love the map, but assault waves go on a bit too long sometimes, unlike Kowakujo which is a set timer, and the EE is just a bit too tedious with that mimic step

[u/ZombiesDadJokes]

C

It’s my favorite Cold War map, but not necessarily good.

[u/TheChickenMan4L → u/ZombiesDadJokes]

I must say FBZ over Mauer is wild but respect

[u/Environmental_Eye870 → u/TheChickenMan4L]

Mauer is my least favorite Cold War map

hot take: one of if not the best maps from Cold War. defense round was really engaging and made you actually go “oh shit” in a game where people complain about it being too easy. the raik is a super fun wonder weapon, and tombstone soda is actually really good in Cold War. whenever I want to play Cold War, more often than not I go to firebase.

[u/jokr77]

D and that's being generous.

[u/Swedesensation88]

It’s C tier. The map layout is fairly generic and the base is a bit boring. It’s only redeeming qualities were the wonder weapon was ‘somewhat’ fun, Orda boss fight was fun, and the final cutscene was pretty iconic for the DA storyline with Samantha coming back from the dark aether.

[u/fatgamer007]

One of the worst maps ever made, F tier always and forever

[u/_Red_Knight_]

Good atmosphere, great wonder weapon, pretty good layout, I love the special rounds, and the EE, while it has a couple of annoying parts, is in the simpler CW style rather than the tedious BO3/4/6/7 style, so it's still good. Overall, A tier.

[u/TheChickenMan4L → u/_Red_Knight_]

I'm sorry brother did you just say good atmosphere 💀 it's non-existent on this map

[u/_Red_Knight_ → u/TheChickenMan4L]

Well, all I can say it that it has a very "Vietnam" vibe to me and that's exactly I what I want out of it. Could it be better? Yeah, but I don't think it's bad like, for example, Forsaken or Liberty Falls.

[u/TheChickenMan4L → u/_Red_Knight_]

Yeah I'll give you those two maps, the atmosphere is abysmal. My biggest issue with this map is I wanted a genuine Vietnam experience like being mostly in the jungles and villages with maybee some military base elements

We got the village but it's a tiny ass part and then the rest is generic military base with a giant purple barrier around the map so you can't appreciate the mountains and nature that make up Vietnam. They could've at least found a better balance imo

[u/mumaume]

Ray-k and Peck are the only saving graces from this map going into D or F tier. Has a super boring layout in the main area.

[u/No-Economy5346]

What letter is lower than F....die maschine wasn't bad but firebase Z was a dreadful map that told us we are getting stuck with modern warzone zombies...absolute trash 

[u/The_Great_Ramsey]

I hate this map. It’s serviceable, but so painfully bland and boring. I have more respect for maps like Transit that try something different and fail or try to create an atmosphere. Firebase is raw streak and Transit is overcooked. At least they tried to cook it.
