I was 9 and try’d BO zombies on the Wii. I got super scared after the first game and didn’t try it till a some time after when my friend asks me about zombies. I said it’s too scary and he just said “trust me it’s really fun”. I gave it another go one day (no split screen on the Wii) and was hooked for life
I’ll start. We had just gotten home to my grandparents’ house in 2011 from a funeral with my extended family and people were down in the dumps. The kids (which at the time included me) all went down to the basement which was kind of our hang out and my grandparents’ house. My cousin whips out his Gen 4 iPod touch and starts playing this game I’d never seen before. I immediately started looking over his shoulder, and I see iOS zombies for the first time. Dude was shooting zombies in an abandoned WW2 bunker and his objective was to survive. I had never seen anything so cool yet so simple. Everyone was gathered around. Then it was my turn to play. I fired up Verruckt and immediately was in love with the game. I fired my M1 wildly and missed almost every shot as I was already getting overrun by round 3. I was having an absolute BLAST. I didn’t care if I sucked at it. Everyone was taking turns and having fun. I’ll never forget the charming janky-ness of the game. There were only about 7 or so zombie sound effects. 6 low moans and then the iconic scream from all the memes which freaked me the hell out at the time. The gameplay mechanics made it a little easy in hindsight and there were still some walking zombies on high rounds, but it was unforgettable. That day I asked my parents if I could get it on my iPod and they said yes with supervision this time. Man it was fun. Come Christmas that year they got me black ops on the Wii so I could play Kino in slightly higher fidelity. Looking forward to hearing your stories!
First got in to zombie from black ops didn’t have internet for the 3 month of having it, so I didn’t truly know what I was doing… even after getting wifi. First couple of games where I bleed out I would just leave…. Not to be a dick or anything. I just thought that was it one life and done. Didn’t found out until the 6th or 8th game in where I said “screw it only one guy left, let just watch”… how I found out that you actually respawn after the rounds.
My friend had it on his ipod touch and we played on the bus. I asked my parents if i could get it for my ipod touch and they said no because theres killing and nazis.
Apparently the argument that the nazis are already dead and we are rekilling them didn’t affect their reservations.
After that it was BO2 with my friends 4 person splitscreen on a computer monitor
I was 8. TranZit with my brother. Died in the spawn room and thought that was the map so we moved onto the next. And then I learned there was more to the map through Borderline Disaster’s/John Rizzo’s TranZit music video.
My first experience with zombies I was around 4 or 5 and my dad was playing waw zombies. I may have played it with him a couple times but the first real memory I have is beating the bo1 campaign for the first time and loading into five which scared the shit out of me once I started hearing the zombie screech and glass breaking from then on I mostly played coop with family until bo2.
Beating the WaW campaign as a kid and getting the shit scared out of me when nacht booted up.
I watched my brother play WAW and I got really scared of the zombies. My first experience playing whoever is much, much later when I got BO3.
“Wait Nazis??? Isn’t this game set in the 60s- what the fuck IS THAT A FLAMING DOG!? *WHY IS THE CEILING COLLAPSING- great Ceasars ghost.”
11/12/08. The day after WAW came out and I beat the campaign. My xbox friend group and I switched to only playing zombies until MW2 came out. It was my favorite year ever playing COD. We didn’t think Treyarch would ever top Der Riese. The friend group fell apart when BO1 ended. Moon was the last map that we got together for the launch. I miss those guys. I hope they are living happy lives.
My friends older brother had a bunch of zombie games and we all piled in to his weird library room on a tiny tv to play bo1
I was 7 and had just beaten the WAW campaign and nobody told me about Zombies so when it started I was shitting bricks
pretty sure it was either waw or bo1. but i remember bo2 more. but i def played waw campaign.
My brother was playing five and handed me the controller, I shit my pants terrified but I kept playing. (It’s not the best map, but it will always be my favourite)
What if I started with ghosts extinction would that count or nah
it’s gonna sound sad but it’s not, my 2 friends would play together online on bo1 kino every evening and the next day at school they would talk about it all day while I was there, I would listen with glowing eyes, go home and watch kino gameplay videos (I couldn’t afford a console), that lasted a year and it was a good time
I temember the first time my dad gave me the player 2 controller to try out nacht. I was so confused as to what the goal was and when i finished a round or picked a power up i was like: is this the goal? I was maybe 5-6 yo then, it’s been nearly ten years now.
Beating BO1 campaign and playing Five on a jailbroken 360, then losing access to gaming because of anti piracy policies like AP25 and having to wait for LT2.0/3.0 to play again, then realizing there was nothing to do besides surviving waves, since I didn’t own DLCs, and only returning to the mode on BO2 during the MotD hype and seeing that EEs were a thing, since then becoming a EE only player that doesn’t care about rounds whatsoever.
Bo2 on my homeboys PlayStation. I Fell in Love with the Farm Ästhetik. Biggest dissapointment that the modern City/County Vibe was Never used again for Zombies. By far my biggest dissapointment
Five, after the bo1 campaign. I thought it was part of the campaign, I was scared and confused 😭
Nacht after you beat the campaign when waw came out. It was all I wanted to play for a long time
