I got to be honest I really did like Cold War zombie story, I’m looking forward to see what they’re cooking for this game zombies story.

This will be the first CoD i buy since BO4. I didn’t like BO3 or BO4 zombies, so i been out of the loop for a while. I’m hoping it’ll decent enough to be invested in new zombies content again.
CoD has been a let down for the past 3 years and I don’t see this one changing but I do hope so
Im not excited about the server meltdowns they are gonna have at launch 🥹👎🏻
No. the Dark Aether story is extremely uninteresting to me and has been handled very poorly.
operators drastically hurt the ability to incorporate dynamic storytelling through pure gameplay, which is what a lot of bo1-bo4 zombies relied on outside of easter egg quests.
the forced connections to warzone/multiplayer/campaign across all cod games is just so awful as well. it stifles creativity so hard, no time travel maps across history, no extremely out there locations (moon, soe, origins, ix, ancient evil, mob, etc etc).
the gamemode is just a watered-down warzone-esque bastardization to appeal to casual fans and the story very obviously reflects that
The zombies mode has been disappointing after CW so my expectations are almost as low as they can get.
This feels to me like asking if I’m excited to watch paint dry 🥲
I’m not only worried about gameplay I’m worried about the servers too, zombies takes such a back seat and I get it, they’re a company who’s goal is making money and Warzone and multiplayer are their cash cows, zombies really doesn’t make them a ton of extra money and it’s a lot more work compared to the revenue the other two modes generate, so it makes sense it doesn’t get the attention it used to.
Not at all. Zombies need to go back to their roots. Back in WaW, there was no story. They just made really fun maps first and then made a story around it. Same with Bo1 in some sense. What made zombies so fun is that IT MADE NO SENSE STORYWISE. They need to focus on gameplay and let the story be created organically imo.
Yiss :p
*somehow ~~palpatine~~ Hugo Barrera returned*
I’m gonna be real, I do want to see what happens, and I’m excited for new mysteries and potentially cool maps (even if people are downers about “abandoned facilities” and whatnot), but I am not excited for how they keep shooting themselves in the foot about it. Modern Warfare Zombies introduced some great new mysteries, but it also established the ending to this game and the fact that in the 30 year timegap since the events of this new game, nothing significant has happened in zombies and it’s another repeat of die maschine. Modern Warfare games tie this franchise down too much if they want to be serious about “everything is canon”, we will NEVER get something as intense as the dark aether appearing in something that takes itself as seriously as the MW series.
Black ops could *potentially* get away with it, but even then they’d never overtly cover it in a way it matters to the story. MWZ is even cut short on its consequences, having soap as a major campaign character yet he never pipes up about the fact that not only is Zakhaev alive, but he faced an army of the living dead from another dark dimension, and establishing that it takes place before MW3’s campaign to show how little the consequences of this story matters.
I don’t know what to feel in terms of gameplay and servers, but for story I’m not, we basically know BO6 is a plot filler/prequel now if Dark Aether continues, we basically know what’s going to play out. Not to mention, merging Zombies with the Campaign, MP, and WZ was a bad decision to make, if someone had said it already and I will say it too, it prevented any uniqueness that Dark Aether as a whole could’ve had.
The campaign connections in the story and operators killed what could have been a really cool story.
Yes hopefully its on game pass
YES
All of you saying “No because zombies has been shit for the last three years” clearly don’t actually have a fucking clue what’s *actually* been going on for those last three years. And I don’t know why you’re downvoting, if you actually knew the facts, you’d know there’s good reason to be hopeful.
No, I’m looking forward to the gameplay.
Prepared to be let down
I know most people here really didn’t like the story for Dark Aether, but I really am excited and been interested to see where it goes since Forsaken’s ending and honestly Vanguard as well.
I want to see Eddie, what Peck has planned for the Aether nukes, and if the Construct will show up.
Ok I know that I’m not a fan of mwz play but how did the story it told turn out for you guys? Worth looking into?
I really like the aesthetic of the dark aether story, but unfortunately the actual story telling falls flat and right now mostly seems to fall on a carrot tied to a stick for the fanbase to follow in the form of references to the old aether storyline (i.e AU Richthofen getting a tease at the end of Forsaken). I hope that black ops six does something stand alone.
