I am very much so a modern zombies enjoyer and defender and I have never played a zombies game that came out before bo4. I have seen a lot of comments and arguments saying that “the older game are better”
So I thought “are they?”
I dusted off my ps3 and payed the fucking insane price for the DLCs for waw and bo1
WaW
I was going into this game expecting it to be hard from all the “modern zombies is so much easier” comments but when I started playing something kinda clicked
I had fun, A LOT of fun. More fun than I have ever had playing modern zombies.
-
The 2 hit downs created a feeling of vulnerability and a feeling of accomplishment when you get out of a sticky situation. The no self revive on solo with quick also added to the feeling of vulnerability.
-
having only 4 perks and 1 pap level meant that I didn’t have to spend like 80K points getting fully set up which means I was able to start trying some strategies quicker
-
the gun sounds, absolute cinema
-
the maps were good, der riese was the map I enjoyed most as the layout felt natural and pap is such a game changer
Bo1
More of the same, which is a good thing when the stuff that came before was this good
-
the maps are fantastic and diverse, the fact that they put all the waw maps into bo1 makes the rezurrection dlc a must buy
-
the gun sounds get better somehow
-
the graphics are a little step up but still a noticeable upgrade when comparing directly to waw
-
the character writing is amazing
The bad
-
Modern zombies is filled with QOL features that don’t necessarily make the game more fun but make the game more playable. The zombie “grab” from waw made me take a lot of unnecessary deaths
-
some of the bugs are unbearable, the DG2 taking away jug on der riese is really fucking annoying lmao
-
waw has wall weapons in the box which makes me really not want to spin the box
Conclusion
Both modern zombies and classic zombies have their strengths and weaknesses
While I enjoyed my time with bo1 and waw, they definitely have their faults
Same goes with bo6 and 7, they have upsides and downsides
TLDR: both classic zombies and modern zombies are good in their own ways. Please can we not fight each other over if modern or classic is better
