DE is by far my favorite map and usually in everyone’s top 3. I also can’t help but think how easily this map could have been even better. Uniqueness in box weapons, shields, bosses, and melee weapons is something every other map in BO3 had that DE did not. Overall I feel like DE was missing some uniqueness the other maps had.
- Box weapons
SOE gave us the blood hound, bootlegger, and little arnies from the box unique to that map. ZN gave us the marshals, which I go back to play this map specifically for this weapon. GK gave us the FFAR and PPSH. DE had no unique box gun unlike the others.
- Shield/Melee
Despite the map being a medieval castle surrounded by swords and shields, we get the same shield from SOE and a plunger for a melee weapon.
- Boss
While I do love the Panzer and dogs, how cool would it have been to have a boss zombie decked out in nights armor on a horse or something. They could have even reskinned the dogs to look like the wolf kings ghost hounds. It kinda just feels lazy bringing back bosses we’ve seen before.
