I like zombies when it was just about funny looking space rocks and countries trying to weaponize them.

Jimmy Zielinski’s era was GOLD
Zombies was never just about that. That wasn’t even the main plot of zombies either.
Shangri-la literally takes place on ancient Vril spaceship.
It’s kind of embarrassing how little this sub seems to understand the story. Nacht and Verruct, yeah that applies to it. Everything after shi no nima cannot be simplified by that.
It’s never been just that, the whole plot of Samantha involves the ather. Also, why are we blaming bo3? Bo2 also had involvement in the “change” in lore.
Did you actually pay attention to the story in WaW and BO zombies? The lore really takes off with Der Riese
I like how most people forget how much lore was going on in waw and bo1
I prefer the waw to bo2 kind of scientifially explainable style to the magic fantasy thing of bo3 to now.
It was more mysterious and not well known, they should have kept it like that to have all sorts of player theories to fill the gaps.
I mean the bo3 to now story isn’t bad it just laid it’s cards on the table maybe a little too much imo.
And the illuminati
JFC everybody’s missing the whole point playing semantics games.
The story was just simpler back then, that’s all. No not every last meaningful second of the story was about “rocks and weaponization” specifically, but it was definitely simpler than the “Ancient Apothicans travelling through dimensions of time” story.
*nazi zombies
Doesn’t Der Riese make it clear they were creating the zombies at Nazi labs or something? And Shi no Numa at least foreshadowed the element 115 meteor
I can appreciate the nostalgia of this but it’s incredibly difficult to maintain a franchise for over 15 years without this kind of lore bloat, for good or for ill.
Love it or hate it, the bo3 era of lore theorising is largely responsible for this mode not getting canned.
I remember when we all thought the devs wanted to end the storyline by implying that zombies was just two kids playing with toys despite the fact you are in purgatory/hell in MOTD, and time travel like 3 times during the Transit storyline in various parts of the world
Prime example of “Show don’t tell” not sure why BO3 did everything it can to explain every little thing in the zombie’s universe. One of my main reasons for not enjoying the game as much as I did pre origins
I like the ancient aliens cosmic horror zombies it’s much more interesting to me and it’s not like the Nazi experiments atheistic is gone in bo3 or that there’s not ancient aliens stuff in bo1
