Idk, you get to play as Ultimis or primis and (controversial) a remaster of nuketown. A perfect map honestly
TheETERNAL20
I think it’s due to the WW and color scheme for it. The EE is fun but the WW are basically useless since the Packed MK2 is better and the color scheme is very ugly
On-Kami
I just wish the “cutscenes” were better, but I’m not hating, I feel bad for Treyarch
New-Jelly226
Personally I hate it for several reasons.
1. Color/scheme is disgusting
2. PAP is temporary
3. Nova crawlers buff zombies equivalent to water zombies. Just asinine overall to incorporate
4. Wonder Weapons are abysmal. I’ll give credit to the lightning ray gun since it’s decent
5. EE is pretty darn easy but mediocre at best
6. Jolting jacks have no purpose other than being required for an EE step. Simply just there to be a nuisance.
SgtZaitsev
The wonder weapons suck. Its not a bad map, just unoriginal
ThunderStruck115
Because BO4 bad and (popular YouTuber) said it was bad
xyDominator
I don’t really hate it
It’s just THE map
There’s nothing special about it and it’s just a meh
CadenDATboss
The map is way too cluttered and claustrophobic for the zombies mechanics in BO4. Most of the bunker areas aren’t viable past round 10 because of the fast zombies, gas zombies and electric nova 6 crawlers. The wonder weapons are also pretty forgettable, just the same 4 element variants we’re used to, but more tedious to build than maps in the past
Cluubs
It’s just really lazy. The og nuketown zombies was mid too. Don’t really understand why they need to remake an already controversial mid map. Also this was happening when bo4 had its budget cuts.
Jimi56
I love Alpha personally, but I can honestly understand why people hate it.
Power requiring all players to be in the area, I’m baffled that they decided on this after so many instances of players complaining about things like these being impossible in rando matches(although AO probably has least egregious one of these honestly).
PaP that constantly shuts off. It gets annoying especially because it spawns the nova zombies. Speaking of…
The side enemies. Nova bombers are extremely annoying for most people since they give zombies more speed and I believe more health. Jolting Jacks blasting you, although they aren’t that bad.
Most people weren’t a fan of the reused assets. Especially because it was a season pass map and most people were expecting something besides a remake.
The cutscenes clearly took a hit compared to the maps that came before it in BO4.
Gucci9001
I don’t think I’ve seen much hate for it. It’s more forgotten than hated in my experience.
ShibaIx
For me its feels like the map design was made to fit the story purposes, it misses the replayability factor for me. I don’t hate it but I just don’t find myself playing it every now and then
ytpsexer
It’s a very irritating map.
The special zombies are downright abysmal. Not one person defends the fart zombies. The jolting jacks are ok, but still kinda annoying.
It’s main gimmick is you playing plumber in certain areas so you can continuously access PaP.
Not a “hate” note, but the Wonderweapons are underwhelming. Just some elemental variants for a gun we already know.
The map is just a more refined version of the Blackout map. Similar to Forsaken, the map feels little or no different from its origin. At least Nuketown Zombies was aesthetically appropriate.
EmeraldSpartan05
Idk, I like it, though I can’t play it cause I was using Gameshare on Xbox but not anymore 🙁
ShySodium
Because most of the community denounced BO4 for no reason, but a lot of people got over it in the wake of CW and Vanguard. It’s a perfectly serviceable map, it’s just the one that stands out the least in the BO4 map pool.
Love Avogadro and his voice though, he could insult me all he wants. It just sucks that he never reappears in his omniscient form and it’s never really acknowledged that he is omniscient, even knowing of Nikolai’s plan and it’s consequences.
5NightsAtMongus
Because of the fact that Ancient Evil exists
Gstary
It’s in my top 5 honestly. Big lore dump lots of characters to play as and they mix around victis and ultimus. Nova crawlers buff the zombies beyond their normal health cap and power so it’s honestly pretty intense. There’s cheat codes and some other secrets and it’s Easter egg is easy.
Only 2 things I don’t like. One is that everyone must be in pap to start it (though this does prevent novas from spawning in if you don’t do the lockdown) and the round 200 Easter egg replaces your high round record for that difficulty. So it’s tough to track your legitimate high round runs unless you raise or lower the difficulty
DatGameGuy
A poorly thought out map layout, an uninspiring set of wonder weapons, a PaP system that is more of a constant nuisance than anything else, and some of the worst special enemy balancing the mode has seen.
Layer all of that on top of the already controversial gameplay adjustments of BO4 in an engine that feels like a step back from BO3 on the technical side and its clear to see why the map is poorly regarded.
Henry_Myth
The layout is awful, nova bombers ruin the gameplay flow and the five minute unskippable Rushmore monologue that stops all zombies from spawning are the big ones for me.
I like the rest of the map and the Easter egg is pretty good and I don’t care that it’s a remake or that the cutscenes are low budget. With some gameplay tweaks it could’ve been a good map.
kamthescholar
have you played the map or done the easter egg?
Comfortable-Peace884
Me who knows the egg by heart and is my fav bo4 map besides dotn(dotn is the goat)
DMazz441
As a solo player, I had a lot of fun playing this map. I’m assuming it’s a shit show with a four player group.
franklindude
Personally I don’t like it because it has no viable training spots
Original-Accident-35
It’s on the same level as classified where it isn’t actually bad at all but it’s pretty mid and nothing we haven’t seen before. Compare them to the other aether maps in Bo4 and you’ll see why
UltimateGodBen
It was my favorite bo4 map tbh don’t really understand the hate.Had 4 earnable wonder weapons, took inspiration off of bo2’s horrible Nuketown map made the map triple the size and added the entire underground section,die machine was the exact same formula but for some reason gets way less hate , Easter egg was also fun and you had your robo-pal.
BigBoiKry
Another remake with another reused wonder weapon with bad level redesign and a shitty easter egg. It’s pretty just
Arathilion
I’ve seen complaint range but they’re usually just the normal complaints about any map someone might not like. I think this one got worse reception than it deserved because of its timing. BO4 was in a bad spot cause of launch and the rest of the game really didn’t have a chance.
Personally, what I didn’t like too much was the spawn system of BO4 being particularly awful in AO. At a certain point in the game, you just can’t stand still for more than 5 seconds. You have to constantly be running area to area because zombies spawn so fast and will be there before you are
FishFingers007
Nova bombers make half the map unplayable. Also the nova gas having to constantly get ventilated.
Dry_Banana5319
Shit was still better than Tag 😂

From somebody who never played it but has a negative outlook on it:
Nuketown?? Again?

It’s the biggest piece of dog shit that I’ve ever heard.

Acid_impersonator
Nuketown has been recycled more than the giant. There is one in like every instance of cod almost.
sonicboom03
Everything on this god forsaken map is recycled from previous maps
Flimsy_Wrap_9557
It was okay for what it was. I don’t blame Treyarch, I blame activision for cutting their budget at that point of time. Perhaps this could also explain why the boss fight was so bland. But yeah the cutscene part was definitely cuz of budget. It’s abnormal for Treyarch to not include cutscenes at the end of every Easter egg. They sure loved doing it in bo3 & start of bo4, why stop so suddenly? Cuz of activision.
King_Finder16
Because of the bandwagon.
xQueenoftheUndeadx
I like it personally, but can see its flaws as to why its hated
I found it really fun tho
pingasmachine555
I never got to play this map so I can’t have a say
That2Valve
Not zombies related but my bo4 won’t install to my Xbox, always says installation stopped. Anyone know a fix for it? Tried almost everything.
cynicalhappiness
I dislike Alpha Omega because it removed the perks dropping from the sky that made the original feel unique to play. Obviously, Nuketown’s perk system was RNG which is a valid reason to hate it, but it made every zombie match feel like a true scramble for survival that is lacking in the newer zombies games. Without the perks dropping, Alpha Omega plays like the most generic Blundell’s map.
Secondly, the skybox and colors just don’t do it for me. I think the underground section of the map looks great but the rest of the map looks disinteresting. I understand that Alpha Omega is a remaster and not a remake but damn do I wished the skybox of Nuketown was carried over.
Side note, doesn’t it feel like Factions would have worked so well with this map because of the use of 8 playable characters?
In the end, Treyarch got screwed.
I-Ajr
For me at least it was cause it was another remake and not from transit crew. Another we’ve done before. Cool new areas woo.
Vermontious
my favourite map
iCthe4
It should of been on BO3, it felt like it was going to be but, the Devs decided too save it.
Key Clue: This whole image, is their characters from, BO3 cutscenes.
TheHero74
I didn’t hate it I found it very average. I don’t hate it but I don’t think it’s great. What I think made everyone hate it, was the unoriginal idea of the map. Like I said, Very Average.
Buckets2224
It’s just irritating, the power and pack are annoying to obtain, which are two of the main things in any map EVER
randoguy8765
Would’ve been neat if they at least designed a Raygun Mk 4 so that something from this map would’ve been new
anythingworx23
Yet another remake of a map that nobody wanted to see a remake of. The map design is somehow able to be extremely simple and convoluted at the same time, with most of the areas in the bunkers looking the same. It also doesn’t help that the variant nova 6 crawlers suck ass and the Easter Egg is literally dog water. Also, variant MK IIs? Most of which are worse than the base version? On the map it wasn’t even introduced in? Seriously
CallmeKorban
Too much going on.
Nate_that_Dude
Have ya played it?
kai_v18
I love the map itself, but the Easter egg just wasn’t fun. I love every other bo4 map and ee but this one just felt boring and is always the last map on my mind when I think of doing a bo4 ee
