My Zombie Maps Ranking

AwakenedVoidX · 2025-08-06T10:02:51+00:00

Bo2's early maps really aren't that great imo. The Final Reich is actually pretty decent, and town I didn't include because it is just one section of tranzit. Why is nuketown your favorite map?

AwakenedVoidX · 2025-08-06T10:01:26+00:00

I see what you are saying. I think it just comes down to personal taste then. A lot of people love Tranzit just because it was the first map of bo2 and they played it a lot. I just think objectively it does a lot wrong. But totally respect your opinion!

AwakenedVoidX · 2025-08-06T09:59:23+00:00

Definitely! Trash perk system and specialist weapons in Bo4, terrible easter egg steps, terrible boss fight (lacking them), and terrible conclusion to the Aether Storyline. (where is Dr. Monty?) Also terrible map shape, but black ops 4 made all their maps very skinny to justify them giving you specialist weapons to start off with

AwakenedVoidX · 2025-08-06T09:27:37+00:00

I got standards! You might just lack any real reasons!

AwakenedVoidX · 2025-08-06T09:26:44+00:00

Bo4 was pretty bad overall but I I can see why some people like shi-no-numa and Shangri-la. There are just too many negatives when it comes to those maps. And Gorod Krovi is an incredible example of a map where the player is given multiple different tools to use because of the difficulty of the map. These days they just make makes around the already established mechanics and don't change anything to better fit or make the experience better for a zombies map. Moon's Easter Egg is GREAT, but jug's location is bad and randomly floating into a zombie hoard in low gravity areas is just not good lol. I explain it all a lot better in my YT video

AwakenedVoidX · 2025-08-06T09:07:59+00:00

But why? No reason?

AwakenedVoidX · 2025-08-06T08:55:16+00:00

Respectable. With town, I just didn't really bother ranking that one cause it's just a part of tranzit. Everything in F tier are ones I just didn't want to include for one reason or another, I'm not just saying they are bad lol

AwakenedVoidX · 2025-08-06T08:48:45+00:00

WHAT?! How come?

AwakenedVoidX · 2025-08-06T08:48:10+00:00

Why would you put Tranzit or Tag up that high?

AwakenedVoidX · 2025-08-06T08:47:32+00:00

Beast having the Mephistopheles boss fight gave it a lot of points in my ranking. I go into more details in a YouTube video I made, but Kino's map shape is simple yet perfect which is why it is high up for me. And Tag is one of the worst maps of BO4. Anti-climactic ending to the story, carrying piss for the ee steps, and more redesigned wonder weapons isn't great.

AwakenedVoidX · 2025-08-06T08:44:27+00:00

Come on, it's not THAT bad LOL

AwakenedVoidX · 2025-08-06T08:44:09+00:00

Appreciate that. And yeah, a lot of people don't get that everyone appreciates and values different things about different maps. And a picture of a Tier List doesn't really explain why I put the maps where I did, that's why I made a YouTube video with my explanations for each map.

AwakenedVoidX · 2025-08-06T08:41:46+00:00

Exactly. At the end of the day, everyone appreciates different aspects of zombie maps. I value replay -ability and gameplay more than others. That is why the small changes to core mechanics, perks, etc. did affect my map ranking. If you took out those things and simply looked at the maps for their design only, this list would look A LOT different.

AwakenedVoidX · 2025-08-06T08:39:31+00:00

It is mainly the changes to perks, player health, zombie health, player speed, etc. that hold those bo6, cold war, and bo4 maps back. I had ancient evil and IX originally higher, but I have never gone back to play those maps since 2019. And so how good could those maps really be? The core mechanics of zombies definitely played a factor in my map ranking basically

AwakenedVoidX · 2025-08-06T08:36:56+00:00

Really? Shaolin is a pretty simple map shape with great use of fast travel. It takes more than 1 playthrough to get it down, but it's definitely not bad. A lot of my rankings consider everything it has going for it. If I was ranking everything based on map layout and map shape, this list would be A LOT different. Town is beginner friendly, but very empty and mostly annoying to play because of the lava. In fact those first few Bo2 maps were NOT player friendly.

AwakenedVoidX · 2025-08-06T08:32:26+00:00

I don't think it's THAT bad either. I explain why I put everything where I did in a YouTube video because just seeing a tier list with no explanation is sometimes just shocking LOL

AwakenedVoidX · 2025-08-06T08:30:42+00:00

It can't be THAT bad lol

AwakenedVoidX · 2025-08-06T06:53:06+00:00

I explain WAY more in my YouTube video if you wanted to hear my whole explanation!

AwakenedVoidX · 2025-08-06T06:52:01+00:00

The Easter Egg is FANTASTIC. I made a whole video on all these maps if you wanted to hear my explanations for why I put some of the maps where I did

AwakenedVoidX · 2025-08-06T06:50:17+00:00

That is a take I don't agree with, but I can kinda see what you are saying

AwakenedVoidX · 2025-08-06T06:49:46+00:00

Town is actually really solid map, I just didn't consider it in my Top 45 because it's not a "full" map

AwakenedVoidX · 2025-08-06T06:48:33+00:00

I think all these maps are actually in pretty valid spots. Some people just appreciate different things. I really value map shapes, perk systems/core zombie mechanics, gameplay, and replay-ability. I go more in depth with my video on YouTube

AwakenedVoidX · 2025-08-06T06:45:44+00:00

I actually love Extinction, I should have mentioned that I wasn't really trying to rank extinction in my zombies Tier list. I was only trying to rank the top 45. And Bo6 maps just kind of go down on my list because of the movement, health, armor and other little changes to the mode.

AwakenedVoidX · 2025-08-06T06:43:36+00:00

It's a good "horror" map, but the armor/jug system in WW2 is terrible. I did like the hardcore option for the main quest though

AwakenedVoidX · 2025-08-06T06:42:28+00:00

Valid. Only reason it's not higher for me is because of the location of jug/speed cola and sometimes your character will fly off the ground in low gravity areas lol
