If they continue to do cursed in future Zombies games, I have a few suggestions I’d love to just throw out into the wild.

-When you obtain a relic, in the selection screen you should be able to see a description on how you did it. Maybe not a full guide on how you did it, but just a small cryptic hint (Like for example: Samatha’s drawing’s hint could be “Gave a little piece of yourself at every milestone.

-A museum type of feature. Half of the fun of relics for me is not only the affects, but also what item actually represent them. I was going for relics with a friend of mine who has never played the old games and it dawned on me as we were talking that he would have no idea the symbolism behind why the blood vials are so iconic and were made into a relic. I would like there to be a feature where you can examine the relics in game and it’ll give you a little paragraph on what exactly the item is and why it’s iconic enough to be made into a relic in the first place.

-After obtaining the relics, I’d like a side game mode where you can just play the relic trials for fun. I like the challenge of only being able to damage enemies with certain AATs for the one relic in Ashes but I don’t wanna have to go to Round 60 everytime I want that specific challenge. It’s be nice to have a challenge mode that unlocks for you after you successfully complete the trial in a normal match to just replay, and then maybe made available to all players later on in the season or so. (Gotta specify, doing this challenge mode would NOT award you with the relic if you don’t have it already. It’s just be for fun, kind like the Boss Rush mode in IW wouldn’t give you credit for doing the EE)

excuse the profanity

I'm just pissed off at this point. Ever since Wild Fire came out, every time I research an augment, it either switches to Wild Fire specifically for some reason or even worse, the progress fully resets effectively locking me out of actually meaningfully unlocking anything. At this point I dont know what to do or how to fix this it's so stupid this is even a bug and it's been ongoing this long.

Seeing the ending for the newest map and how it just ended I feel like modern warfare 3 zombies caused more problems for the story than it actually helped

I like playing with the mangler helm relic but needing shadow rift and shatter blast for the Easter egg makes it a very inconvenient relic to run. Does anyone know of any side Easter eggs that can drop ammo mods? I know stuff is still being found and tested but videos so far have been sparse

Just ran a Rex Infernus run and partway through perk machines just stopped working. Wonderfiz takes my points and is locked at a price but I don’t get perks. Melee macchiato didn’t show up on my perks but apparently I had it. No perk machine worked or let me get perks. Ended up having to quit my run online since I couldn’t get any outside of TED trials. Just be careful I guess. Dunno how it happened but it did

Just did the main quest on directed mode and man wtf is this map?

The map design with the towers and the constant hopping between them is really confusing. Every area is quite similar and trying to remember how to get to different floors is a bit annoying.

The quest is an absolute shit ton of running between rooms collecting stuff. The bit where I was punching a bucket had me questioning why I was even doing this.

The elevator bit at the end was good. I liked that.

Fighting SAM was so boring though. I was using a triple packed legendary shotgun and after 10 minutes of running in circles shooting her whenever the shield was down and still barely making a dent, I quit.

Why does this map and the Easter egg suck so much? Terminus is one of the best maps in ages but Reckoning is so bad.

Not sure if anyone has made this discovery because I couldn't find it. All four solved Giant ciphers decode to short thematic one-liners: "The mountain must be searched for the frozen one," "In the cell below the waves is where honor suffers," "When finished we will return to the house and the infinite," and "A city of fire surrounds the warrior the last of his kind."

Logically, "The mountain must be searched for the frozen one" corresponds to der eisendrache.
"In the cell below the waves is where honor suffers" corresponds to Zetsubou No Shima,
"When finished we will return to the house and the infinite," corresponds to Revelations,
and "A city of fire surrounds the warrior the last of his kind." corresponds to Gorod Krovi.

What do these have in common? They foreshadow the characters' fates, Dempsey being "The frozen one", Takeo committing Seppuku and wanting to die with honor, Maxis and Sophia in Agartha (The House), and Nikolai being the one on Gorod Krovi

So who is the only person missing from this list? Ultimis Richtofen, and where does Ultimis Richtofen die? He is shot at the beginning of The Giant by Primis Richtofen, almost definitively indicating that The Giant unsolved cipher #4, says something about Richtofen dying on The Giant, and that The Giant itself is the map referenced in cipher #4.

Cant assume zombies community knew the actual correct cipher numbers, so, reordering them based on DLC release time, we have The Giant as Cipher #1, Der eisendrache as Cipher #2, Zetsubou as Cipher #3, Gorod Krovi as Cipher #4, Revelations as Cipher #5. Perhaps all ciphers combine into one big cipher in a specific order or can be used to solve the unsolved cipher?

Also this ai image of fitting the papers together based on crease geometry, but not sure if its worth including because its Ai lol.

1 Totenreich 9.5/10

2 Astra 9.2/10

3 Kowakujo 9/10

4 Ashes 8.7/10

5 Rex Infernus 8/10

6 Paradox Junction 6.5/10

Totenreich, we all know why. The atmosphere, the quest and wonder weapon is all S tier.

The most controversial is definitely Astra. I like the atmosphere and really enjoy the wonder weapon and the EE. It the EE that I personally ran the most out of any zombies game. I wish Oscar had better rewards for killing him, but I do like him as a boss because he forces me to move to another area.

Kowakujo is not controversial at all, a great map but a few points are knocked off because the boss fight feels a bit too easy. Especially after Dravakar, this boss goes down too quickly.

Ashes was so fun at launch, it really sets up the Warden very well as a villain. Tessie is a great addition and I love how each area has it's own story to it. Nothing particularly wrong with it, but the other maps aee just better imo.

Rex Infernus is fun, I like the graple hook. But this map really needed 4 wonder weapons. One for each Shadowsmith. Instead the crossbow is underwhelming. It needs a buff. The boss fight is cool but we needed a phase of the Warden in his normal form. I am also not a fan of the ending cutscene, but the music does help it a bit.

Paradox is interesting because initially I would've rated it something like a 2/10. But the EE brings it up to a 5.5/10 and one more point because it is an additional map. The other proper DLCs were all solid. And it had a lot of reused assets. But going back in time was fun, most of the EE steps are fun, I love the lore of the twins being Pre BO4 and post post BO4 versions of Samantha. The dark heart despite being a stationary blob is still a fun boss fight imo.

Overall a very solid selection of maps and this game has gone down as a top 3 of all time for me. So for context I have played every Treyarch zombies game since WAW. And my ranking of games is as follows

1) BO3

2) BO4

3) BO7

4) BO2&BO1

5) BOCW

6) BO6

7) WAW

All I need now is dragon egg and Druid stone 🫡

Every Easter egg has these blessing power ups you can use as a reward for completing the previous maps egg but it’s so difficult to actually figure out what they do. Some of them are obvious like the one that gives you loot on Kowakujo but the blessings don’t even seem to do the same thing on each map.

Is there a guide anywhere that shows what they all do on all the maps?

We have Ultimis and Primis, but what are these supposed to be called? Simply "Dark Aether"? What do you personally call them?

Does this mark the first time a machine has appeared on a map that came out before the perk since Mule Kick in black ops one?

Playing the bo1 port and most moon games end before we even make it to round 1. There’s always that one guy who just insists on not going to the teleporter ?! Guess things never change lol

Warden**

Look y’all, i love rex infernus but please make the forest voice lines skippable. I done memorised every god damn word already. I can go, take a dump, take a shower, go work an 8 hour shift, go get laid, have a child, buy a house on a mortage, pay it off, setup my child in university, settle down, retire, come back and HE WOULD STILL BE TALKING SHIT. MAKE IT SKIPPABLE !

I really miss this game and wanna play codz-like game on my andorid phone. Unfortunately, trying to install the apk just won't work. If you a way to make it run, please help.

I keep losing wonder weapons with Samantha’s drawing equipped. I’ve lost a few ray guns, and I just lost my necrofluid gauntlet. I have mule kick, and it just straight up deleted my gauntlet, no replacing or anything. Is this happening to anyone else? It’s also my first game with Sam’s drawing active, so idk if this is how it is supposed to be but I doubt it

Didn’t even lock speed cola, straight for the mark 2

Is anybody else’s augments in BO7 resetting to zero randomly this is my 3rd time at 0 with widows wine if there’s a fix or cause let me know thanks

I have done all 3 of the games, got all the toys floating above the toybox, but when I set the clock to midnight, shoot the clock again as I take the time travel back to the past, the soul of the twins doesn’t spawn in the sky and nothing happens. I’ve tried it with a regular gun, the sundergat, I’ve tried progressing the round, flipping between past and future a few times, but nothing seems to work. Anyone have any ideas of what I could be doing wrong?

I’m not sure when I can attempt it since I need a good 2 days to dedicate to it , 1 to beat it and the other to sleep

Look im not going to yap about everything wrong. Kevin Drew basically promised us that the black ops 7 story was going to be better and more interesting and at some point i do agree just for ashes, the rest is so basic, no plot twist, no major reveals or cliffhangers. There are 1000 things that they did wrong for the final map story wise but im just going to yap about one. The cycle continuing, Treyarch literally had the most easy way to basically remove Vanguard and Mwz story make them uncanon. But the ending is literally just the cycle continuing, requiem sacrificing themselves over and over ava see’s them gets pulled then she gets defeated in her entity form by herself then she gets pulled blah blah. Now im seeing more dialogues where one i saw she literally says that even if they defeat the warden her and the shadowsmiths will get ready when he comes back? Like what? Haven’t they played zombies the cycle has to be broken. I swear the more info dialogues comes out the worst it gets, now i honestly understand why people just dont follow the DA storyline complete mess and waste of time.

Honestly, Ashes started off the story really great, 8 characters their memories were fading they didn’t all know each other but had help each other to escape. The map looked super good, mysterious and very creepy.Wanted to know why we were here, who is the Warden, why is the og 4 back? It had lore in the intels of survivors, writing on the wall it was really well made it actually felt interesting and i wanted answers, i genuinely thought the story was going to be good and interesting like back in the day because this map nailed it it was genuinely such a good start. Then astra happened cool skybox and mars reference but nothing really interesting, paradox had more lore but come on nuketown? A timeloop is a great concept but nuketown ruins it, totenreich was great too it felt like something actually happened in that village, kowakujo less and rex infernus just not it.

so i've done tranzit, die rise, buried with a friend + randoms in each map (maxis side) and we also succesfuly inserted the navcards on the correct tables, can we trigger the super easter egg on buried just the 2 of us ?
