I’m down to hear your guy’s opinions. But I heavily disagree. All the chaos maps were awesome even if VOD was the weakest. Aether had its issues but BOTD, Classified and Tag were great too.

Yes. Cold War is better.
Cold War may have had less content, but I think Cold War was the superior game and embraced what made CoD Zombies fun, which I felt BO4 rejected
CW was a great experience imo and BO4 was not. Therefore CW (in my opinion) is better
I feel like the problem just stems from the fact Bo4 is not exactly a casual game and also has a cluttered bunch of systems. CW is more user friendly and has more straight forward progression
By miles and it’s not even close. CW may have lacked charm without dedicated characters, but BO4 had nothing positive going for it.
Cold war is much more fun to play and it’s not even close
Hell nah bo4 was so much more zombies and the chaos maps barring voyage were incredible.
I had more fun in cold war
Yes
While Black Ops 4 has better maps, Cold War has a better system.
Imma be roasted for this, but CW is my all-time favorite. I was never a fan of complicated Easter eggs, and I feel like CW found the perfect balance to keep my hooked.
BO4 is better than CW. The effort and detail in the maps blow CW maps out the water. BO4 also still feels like true 3arc zombies.
BO4 maps with Cold War perk system and guns would be arguably the best zombies game ever
Bo4 zombies perk system was dumb as fuck
The ghost of the BO4 launch state + the yt bandwagon damage is already done. People refuse to replay the game and see the difference now.
Even as a big critic of BO4, I can say it’s absolutely oozing with great traits, while CW’s only good one is the gameplay.
It’s essentially comparing Drakengard to Pac-Man. BO4 just is not very player-friendly, and even now that I get its systems, I’d still rather play most of the alternatives. Dead of the Night and Ancient Evil are pretty much the saving graces.
didnt play bo4, but did play bo1, bo2 and bo3 and preffer the cold war mechanics over all of them. the only time i still play any zombies aside from cold war is when im feeling nostalgic
Cold War I enjoyed the most compared to bo4!
I genuinely enjoyed CW and really feel like most of its criticisms were voiced out of spite (except the bugs. The bugs were bad for a while)
It really depends on what you look for in a zombies game. The core systems and quality of life changes in Cold War were probably nicer. The maps in BO4 were just leagues better in my opinion. I’ve always been a bigger fan of crazy fantasy maps than the military ops tone of Cold War maps so it doesn’t surprise me. I definitely put way more hours into B04, but it doesn’t surprise me that this poll was this close.
Yes CW did everything right that bo4 fucked up. The perk system in CW is banger, the challenges, the upgrade system, the armor system. Literally all of that is better than the fucked up game black ops 4.
Hell no. Bo4 wasn’t amazing but Cold War is just so… meh
Mmmm I feel like I had more fun with Bo4 zombies. Something about cold war kinda didn’t rub right with me atleast not untill the third map and even then didn’t play that much.
Absolutely better, the only thing that BO4 did better was the maps and having characters for the maps. The gameplay was dramatically improved in CW tho
Cold war is ass, but bo4 is turbo ass
I like ’em both equally, they are, in my eyes, perfect Yin and Yang. Where one fails the other succeeds and where one succeeds the other falters. Because the two biggest things to debate here, in my opinion, are map design and story and gameplay systems and mechanics. BO4 was exceptional with its maps and I personally quite enjoyed its story, but the changes to the core formula of zombies, in my opinion, by in large missed the mark of what I enjoyed about the mode. I liked the sense of progression the feeling that I am getting significantly stronger throughout each match, but in BO4 that was totally destroyed with us spawning in with some of the most busted ass bullshit like the specialist gear, wraithfires, 200 static hp, and potentially instant access to gobblegum equivalents of perk a holic, shopping free, reign drops, and all the rest, a new perk system that failed be anywhere close to as impactful as the og, a pack a punch system so anemic I legitimately wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between a pap tier 1 gun and tier 2 if not for the alternate ammo type, and a number of other smaller changes like the removal of tactical equipment, the debuff of the Ray Gun once again, a lot of really weird feeling guns that either absolutely shredded or lightly tickled zombies depending on their mood, etc.
And Cold War, I absolutely loved a lot of the changes they made to the gameplay formula, in my opinion they were great ways of adding to the sense of progression for a player without making them feel utterly unnecessary. The weapon rarity tiers existed, obviously, to A give the timing of weapon acquirement more meaning and B allow the loadout system to not suck like in Vanguard. The loadout system, in my opinion, being great at allowing the player to choose how they want to play and to make the camo grind work (it also helps CW easily has, so far, the best zombies mastery camo even if it is literally just Dark Matter from BO3). The pack a punch tiers actually feel meaningful and easy to distinguish with unique camos, a very significant stat buff, and an actual visual icon telling you what tier it is. The movement is genuinely great and adds a greater skill ceiling to the mode between those of us who know how to use the movement system optimally and choose to do so and those of us who don’t or choose not to. The removed perk cap extends perk progression way later into each match and gets rid of the artificial restrictions on player power from previous games that were being used to push microtransactions. And there’s so much more I can cover, which isn’t to say CWs gameplay systems were perfect, the armor system, particularly on the zombies, was kinda annoying, the UI felt unnecessarily cluttered (which can be said, to a lesser degree, of BO4), and at the peak of player power you were pretty damn strong, strong enough that a competent player would basically never be killed in a match by anything other than their own boredom and/or stupidity. But the maps in the game were just so… meh. They weren’t all that good, pretty solid 5-6/10s, maybe a 7/10 with Mauer or Die Maschine, but that’s it. And honestly that’s just very disappointing when, with the new gameplay systems, I feel like we really could have gotten some of the best maps ever in the franchise if only Treyarch had more time and fewer hardships during the game’s development.
i really enjoyed cold war zombies. i miss the grind for dark aether skins, easter eggs and completing the outbreak ee as well. those were some good days.
CW is still to today the choice of zombies with my friends when we’re nostalgic of some zombies. It’s peak fun and casual for all of us, we can play a short session or a long one with the same fun.
Man the comments shocked me. I can’t believe people prefer cw to a game that has ancient evil and dead of the night in its arsenal… I’ve wasted a lot of time arguing about the ridiculous or outright incorrect things people claim about bo4… but seeing it compared to cw is shocking
Lots of positives and negatives for both. Overall I do have to give it to CW overall as I personally found the game more enjoyable. While the story and characters leave a bit to be desired, overall I think it’s still more consistent than BO4.
Plus I had access to way more perks at one time without the need of some perkaholic or something. I think it’s perk system was fun as fuck
CW is a mutation of the BO2/BO3/BO4 experience we’d had so far. It’s not as easy as “It’s better” or “It’s worse” because it’s a completely different concept both in gameplay and mechanically to what we were used to. Imo Cold War was a positive evolution in many aspects such as movement and the whole mechanic part of the gameplay, but BO4 was more enjoyable while sticking to the classic experience to me, which i personally prefer
Not even close. CW painfully boring.
Its not, just everyone on youtube really hates bo4.
Coldwar aint bad imo, but its just the definition of mid, not great, but not bad.
