The amount of hate you get on COD reddit for saying this is insane, sure bo3 is better, but thats because its fucking black ops 3, why cant people appreciate the fact we just got shattered veil and citadel and terminus in 2025? Id say bo6 is a top 5 zombies game and if Janus towers is good, it could be top 3. Just saying bo6 has been more consistent then bo2 but yall aint ready for that.

Because we didn’t? Terminus and Citadel are from 2024.
Bo6 is definitely getting on par with bo3 as much as they will complain! I am a Bo3 fan. It will always be classic but Bo6 is really trying and I like it!
The maps are good. Unfortunately 3arc can’t keep the game stable long enough to fully enjoy it. But I do agree when it’s all working it’s a very good zombies game.
It retains a lot of mechanics from cold war that i’d rather they consider returning towards a more classic execution of BUT regardless of that the game is still great fun and the maps are super cool.
Hard agree. And I’m an avid bo1/2/3 hardcore fan.
This sub is almost exclusively people arguing about which maps they think are best. If you enjoy BO6 (I do too, I think it’s great) then that’s really all that matters. If anyone wants to bitch at you for that, you’re not really obligated to care.
In the first 3 DLCs, and launch maps bo3 had that were at the time considered 2 misses, 3 hits, by the same time in bo6 (currently) we have 2 hits, 2 misses, and 1 that is hit or miss (LF) now while SOE and ZNS are looked at way more favorably considered to their respective launches, they weren’t loved at first, but given the time frame, bo6 has been look upon better as far as map launch opinions
I would agree that it is among the top 5, but simply because there isn’t much competition.
The problems come with continuously reused elements and ideas while also making a complete mess by mixing chaos and aether story, and terrible support when it comes to bug fixing and balancing.
I grew up obsessively playing WAW and BO zombies but I am having a blast with BO6. It’s very different than classic zombies with its own atmosphere but I love the gameplay, gunplay, graphics, freedom of movement over obstacles (biggest one for me), loadout customizability, augments for perks , ammo mods, different tiers for PAP and weapon tier , variety of enemies, score streaks, size of the maps, and how the maps are not too complex. Directed mode is also nice for newer players/a more casual experience. I really wish though, they would add a Dead Ops Arcade mode, and an open world mode like Outbreak, as they would be good alternatives to round-based from time to time.
Liberty Falls and The Tomb are not as popular on CDM, Terminus, or Shattered Veil on here, but I actually love those maps too, as they are easier and are nice for causal play.
As for people shitting on BO6, It’s the cycle of COD. Current games are always shit on. 4-5 years from now, people will be taking about how great BO6 was and how shit BO8 is lol.
Even BO4 has tons of revisionist history, when it was universally one of the most universally hated CODs in recent memory
Pretty decent so far
Best Cod in a while 100%. I’m sure in 10 years time we will be speaking about bo6 zombies just like we speak about bo3 zombies rn
Seems decent yeah. Shattered veil is actaully really good and I like The Tomb as a classic small map. LF will probably be remembered too
The maps are fine but the core systems make the game not fun to play
It definitely is not more consistent than BO2. It’s as hit or miss as BO2. That’s the sentiment.
Another thing “appreciate we got SV and CDM”. Sure, they are good maps. They are not Origins or Mob level quality. They are not DE, SoE level quality. They are not DoTN, AE, IX level quality. Why do you think that this erases all the issues with the games? People are allowed to complain about shortcomings, and people have been praising the stuff it is doing right. It’s really annoying the level of glaze that some people expect for the game “PRAISE IT OR ITS HATE”. The game is good, but has a lot of problems.
Also you mentioned “a top 5 zombies game”. That’s the lowest hanging fruit ever that NO ONE DISAGREES WITH. It definitely won’t be top 3 with Janus Towers being even S tier. The common sentiment is that it is a better version of cold war, which is around top 5 and will continue being. Problem is that there are underlying issues that no map quality will improve.
-> anti consumer practices (AI in bundles, focusing on skins and really bad modes with tie ins to other properties)
-> not just broken stuff, but no focus to fix stuff
-> absurdly simple maps and EE with no challenge
-> mechanics that trivialize the game
And more
I don’t mean to be negative as if the game is bad, but these kind of posts are really annoying and against the playerbase itself. The game has issues and people have a problem with that, why are you complaining about people stating this, or stopping playing? They want something that is good for you: A BETTER GAME FOR EVERYONE (that people paid 70 dollars, even if the store makes it seem like a F2P game that needs microtransactions to live).
Edit: the game has the benefit of being a follow up to Vanguard, meaning no one expected shit from it and it is a better version of the game before it. Be thankful of that and still hold them accountable for an even better experience. If you settle for mediocrity and defend it tooth and nail you just give them more reason to put out another Vanguard, or just take more stuff away from zombies to copy Warzone.
I think it’s my favorite zombies after black ops 1.
All my homies love BO6 zombies

It is really fun and has some great maps but for me personally, I feel like no desire to play it regularly anymore.
“why can’t people appreciate that we got shattered veil and citadelle and terminus?”
I do appreciate them but citadelle is a 4/10 map, terminus is a 6 and the only really great map is shattered veil.
Like I do appreciate the bo6 maps for what they are, fine or average maps (except for tomb) with one proper gem. None of these maps have done anything too special for me and all of them are dragged down by a buggy unpolished mess of a game. Terminus still has map specific bugs to this day.
I’m glad you enjoy it but I don’t see why people feel the need to hedge their positive opinions of the game with bitching about the criticism it gets. It’s childish.
Consistent? Sure. But that’s not always a good thing. Every map in bo6 has standardized weapons, abilities, expectations. The problem with new maps isn’t the maps at all. Its that everything about them has been made almost identical. I choose between BO2 maps based on what experience I want, what weapons sound fun to play with. In BO6, its all the same.
Not saying thats particularly awful or anything but it’s completely sucked the personality out of the maps. They don’t feel unique from one another.
It’s top 2. Will die on this hill forever
Maps are great but honestly loadouts and the point system just ruined the game for me.
Citadel des morts is the most overrated zombies map I’ve ever seen. It’s at best a b- tier map. The tomb is also very very mid. Liberty falls, terminus, and shattered veil are all very solid maps. IMO better than Cold War and on par with bo4 nowhere near bo1,bo2, and bo3.
I like most of it except for the gun rarity system just doesn’t even make sense If the gun started at the same power that they are at legendary rarity it wouldn’t really be any different except for I wouldn’t have to use salvage at all or anything but making equipment and they could put the elemental effects back on pack a punch Also Liberty falls is boring rest of the maps are pretty good I do agree though with the people on here saying that there aren’t enough new wonder weapons shattered veils thing with the ray guns had already even been done before on alpha Omega. And not making it easy for every player to acquire one was kind of a mistake.
Jesus fuck you don’t get ANY hate at all, I’ve seen like 20 posts saying the same thing. This weird white knight shtick is old. Ok, you like the game. Good for you.
Nah terminus is a facility map slop. Same CW garbage level map design. Though all the maps after that were not cold-war styled
