Some people usually say Der Eisen, Mob, Shadows, Origins or Kino.
Kino easily
– Mauer der Toten
– Terminus
– Citadelle des Morts
– Shattered Veil
IX
Probably not going to be popular, but I’ve gotta say I’ve been seeing waaayyy too much glaze for Dead of the Night and Zetsubou no Shima as of late with a sizeable number of people saying those maps are their favorites from their respective games. And, I mean I kind of get it, both these maps definitely caught way more shit than they deserved when they first launched (though I still think the near complete lack of marketing of Dead of the Night and shit show of a release for Zetsubou probably are things that are and were deservedly critiqued). But people like to brush away the flaws of these maps to praise the things they do well in a way that I can only really liken to blind fanaticism. Because both of these maps do have flaws, some pretty damn serious ones tbh, with huge hard to learn map layouts, overly long and complex setups for even basic things like power and pack a punch, some truly terrible boss spam (made worse in the case of DotN which was part of the Chaos storyline and featured catalyst zombies), and a lot of non-shared flaws for each individual map. And yet I see a lot of people brushing them off (even people that complain about similar problems on other maps and in other games) as either non-existent or some kind of neutral or outright positive quality which is crazy to me.
Like the community does this a lot to be clear, a map or game will come out and get shit on for fair and unfair reasons and then years down the line people will look back at it in a much more fond light and start lumping many or all the critiques of it, fair or not, into the same category of unfair or exaggerated hate. And it’s a really weird habit, because on one hand, I’ve liked a lot of these maps and games that are now finally being recognized when they were initially shit on, but on the other I feel like overcorrecting in the way this community tends to creates even more problems. As, not only does it frequently fail to actually appreciate what these maps and games do well, but it also sends the wrong message to devs and to other players who may not be as tight or longstanding in the community that nostalgia rules over all else.
Every zombies map has something special about them, I can’t call a single one overrated
*Ascension*
Kino, Shadows, Citadel. Top 3 most overrated maps.
Not this one citadel is top 3 and mfs who say its overrated r part of the problem
Dead of the night. It’s godawful. It only has aesthetics going for it (even then it’s nothing too special) Everything else is tedious, tedious, tedious. Vamps cool! Too bad they stop health regen once you get to high rounds, werewolfs!! Great just bullet sponges with no interesting gameplay. Also has the worst celebrity cast if not THE WORST cast in all of zombies (besides Gideon but honestly he’s just a meme more than anything). I do not like it and do not understand how people do. (Also Ancient evil sucks too! ALPHA OMEGA SUPREMACY!! RUSHMORE SOLOS NO DIFF!!)
Mob of the Dead.
People calling for a remastered version of it too and I just don’t get it. I have never Enjoyed playing the map despite the lore being quite a bit of fun.
Too cramped of a map and easily overwhelming for people that don’t play a lot of the game.
I’ll double down on my unpopular opinion by saying the acid gat is not fun to build or to use.
Easily Moon and Kino
Mob
Citadelle
Shattered Veil
IX
Classified
DE
Shadows
Ascension
Kino
TranZit
CotD
Die Rise
Verrückt
Shi No Numa
Rave
Mauer
Die Maschine
Terminus
Besides that one, DE and Maur. Both mid maps but for some reason they’re everyone’s favorite.
TranZit, Die Rise and The Beast From Beyond, I can never understand why people love Die Rise and TranZit
Origins
I think shattered vale is pretty up there in overrated. People hype it up like it’s a top 5 map and it’s just not it.
Shangri La
Citadelle
Citadelle. It’s fine, but it’s not the second coming of Christ everyone makes it out to be. Boss ain’t half bad tho
