Depends on the player if you like casual play then it’s mid. If you like Easter egg and a lot of extra stuff as well as the staffs. it’s like a 3 layer stacked cake with a cherry on top. For me I didn’t like it because I was casual and now I’m playing for Easter eggs/and more and it’s my top 4

Absolutely,Origins is good in some aspects but it’s wayyy convoluted and gets boring really fast once you open the map up and get a staff.
Lost_Bumblebee2559
I disagree, it is top 3 for me.
Homicidal_Pingu
It’s varied and has a lot of stuff to do and can be a solid survival map too especially on BO3
Tough_Bodybuilder_63
For the mid to novice players it’s a decently challenging map. I’ve always liked origins but I could see why some people think it’s over rated.
RandomUncreative_1
I absolutely disagree. Even if one dislikes the complexity of Origins (which is completely valid), denying the revolutionary aspects of the map is simply insane IMO.
AJ_from_Spaceland
Same with Shadows, they’re not bad maps; just not nearly as good as some people say
purple_snurf
If it had a proper fast travel system like Der eisendrache it would be 2x better.

Overrated anything means that it is good. Yes I think Drake for example is overrated but I can acknowledge why he’s so popular. Same with origins, der riese etc. good maps become overrated because they are good…

Der Eisendrache is just Origins 2 that’s why it’s so well liked.

It’s only overrated in terms of being circlejerked as the GOAT map. I still think it’s top 5, but the map layout, the mud, and the fact that fire staff crashes the game and lightning staff is not very good hold it back just a little for me.

It was cool when I was 15, not so much at 28

It is in my top three maps, but I also agree that it is overrated.
It is an absolutely wonderful map, and I love it, but it does have flaws that people seem to just overlook when talking about it. The biggest issue for me is that it is setup-heavy map. Meaning, if you dive into it to play casually, it is almost expected to do some degree setup/easter eggs for it. The easter egg gives you various tools and bonuses to your arsenal, which makes it one of the most satisfying easter eggs, but that also means that much of the cool stuff in the map is locked behind side or main easter egg steps.
Panzers often take awhile to kill if you don’t have a staff, but if you have a staff, they are trivialized. So, you are heavily motivated to get at least one staff, and then it’s almost like “well, if I have the staff anyway, I might as well upgrade it.”
Unless you actually self-impose not touching any of the side or main easter egg steps, you are always kind of encouraged to do them, but if you are completely avoiding anything related to easter eggs, then the map becomes a little boring with alot or the same aesthetic and not much that can just be casually used.
Then there are the rounds where they attack the generators, which make the game a little more interesting if playing casually but can become really annoying if you are trying to complete an easter egg objective.
I love the map to death, but if my friend and I want to get on for a casual zombies game, we pretty much always pick another map, lest we spend the next hour running around then map with one of us babysitting a zombie.

I used to like it, but it’s frustrating setting up because you have to point max everything. I’m not a high rounds player so it’s definitely gone down a few spots for me.
Good map overall.

no i don’t agree at all

Can we all remember that these are all subjective ideas and just agree that people have different tastes?
No, OP isnt auto trash/skill issue just because he dislikes Origins.
No, the map isn’t overrated or underrated. People like different things.
No, the guy being down voted to hell shouldn’t be because he feels the same about Mob of the dead. (If OP can say this about origins and be upvoted, why downvote the guy who thinks this way about another map)
No, just because a map has one or two annoying features doesn’t discount others love for it, and vice versa.
These comments are goofy as hell. Not everyone is an extreme pro, nor is everyone playing casually. I can see a casual player not enjoying origins for a lot of reasons, despite it being my top 3

It’s overrated by the general community, but i think that’s mainly because EE enjoyers dominate the conversation about what the best maps are. The map is designed primarily around the EE, so people who don’t want to study a YouTube video are kinda left with a lackluster survival map.
Remember, overrated doesn’t mean bad. It’s still a well-crafted map. It’s just not everyone’s cup of tea.
maddogmular
Not bad multiplayer, but soo painful solo. I spent 30 minutes on round 12 ONLY running back and forth from Agartha doing staff upgrades. Also correct me if I’m wrong but I believe there are 13 kill quests? Some of which you can actually lose progress on so solo is already 2x more difficult given the reduced zombie spawns.
Deep-Age-2486
I don’t think it’s overrated. Pretty groundbreaking stuff for what it was back in the day. Even now I’d place some newer maps waaayyyy behind it.
Somebuddy567
I think theres 2 things that this sub can agree on. Nacht is too simple and Mob is goated.
Key_Ride143
Yea love only being able to walk on like half the map
DrNevrax
I think it depends on how you looking at it, if you go back to BO2 era it was a revolutionary map it had so many new ideas. Don’t get me wrong it’s still a great map even to this day but imo it’s just not as groundbreaking as back then, Der Eisendrach is literally Origins on ‘roids.

I love it but tbh after being fully setup, I instantly get bored

Im not sure I agree with it being overrated. Like it’s not quite my favorite but it’s definitely not bad, whether i cared for the easter egg or not

On god , the cod youtubers gassed this map
elitenex47
i’m currently on round 55, got 8 perk slots and 4 staffs built, easter egg done, golden helmet on, and i’m having the time of my life.
so… no. not overrated. at all in my opinion. this isn’t possible on a lot of maps.

Yea it kinda is it seems more like doing chores than playing a game

You’re not alone, it is easily the most overrated map.

Overrated because it’s good
Western_Blot_Enjoyer
Origins is my favorite map, but I understand why people get annoyed especially with how long it takes to set up and needing to point max so you don’t get shit on by the panzer
I really do believe it has the best aesthetic out of any map though

It’s my favorite map and I agree lol. Far from the most overrated tho
