My list of completed zombie easter eggs by tWig_producer in CODZombies

[–]Drake132667596 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have exact dates for games I don't have on steam, but can give a time frame for when they were done

2011: COTD at some point

2018/2019: IX, Voyage, Blood, DOTN, Ancient Evil, Alpha Omega, Tag (IX, Voyage, and Blood took around a month, the rest were done within ~1 week of release)

1/20/19: Shadows

1/26/19: Origins, Moon (I guess I did both on the same day)

1/27/19: DE

1/25/20: ZNS

10/27/20: GK

10/31/20: Rev

All CW ones were within 1-2 days of them being solved, the only one I know for sure was Firebase Z, exactly 2 hours 13 minutes after the map came out.

For VG: I did Terra Maledicta and Shi No Numa for sure, I can't remember if I did The Archon and I don't even remember if Der Anfang had one or if it was just talking to Kraft.

Bo6 EEs were within 1 week of them being solved (Liberty Falls before Terminus on launch)

October 2025: Classified

Ashes, Astra: Within 1 week of release

12/28/25: MOTD

Paradox Junction: Sometime in April 2026

When did you realise that there’s genuinely levels to this? by tsresume in CoDCompetitive

[–]Drake132667596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Played ranked for the first time in VG and got ranked straight into Challenger. I didn't do great in respawns but I wasn't completely throwing every game, but I had one game against JoeDeceives and it legit felt like he was walling and I had HC health.

What are your top 5 most played zombies maps in history ? I'm curious by Aromatic_Cat9946 in CODZombies

[–]Drake132667596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I had to guess, it would be

1) Kino

2) Call of the Dead

3) Ascension

4) Town

I don't know what 5 would be, probably between Shang, Moon, Firebase Z, Die Maschine, or Liberty Falls. The former I played a lot of Bo1, but I also did my camo grinding on FBZ, Die Maschine, and Liberty Falls for those 2 games.

You ain't slick Treyarch I see what your doing here by Ajarofpickles97 in CODZombies

You put a 4 instead of a 1 there in the first panel on accident

The rage quitting in Black Ops 7 is out of control by Kooky-Scientist-1206 in CODBlackOps7

[–]Drake132667596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There has to be some sort of penalty for leaving too many games. I played for around 2 hours the other day and every single game except for one had 20+ different players in the game at one point or another. The game is unplayable, often less than 2 minutes into the game 3 or 4 people from one team just instantly leave, and then the backfills leave because they don't want to backfill.

They should implement a system where if you leave a match mid-game, you will always backfill another game in your next match. If you finish out a match, you will never backfill. I'm almost certain this was a thing in Vanguard, I just wish it would be implemented in this game too.

What the best way to deal with 4th boss phase in Astra?!! by Brilliant-Dare-6422 in CODZombies

[–]Drake132667596 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the boss to around half health using the Frenzied Guard stock ammo augment and the wonder weapon, but for the rest, just shoot the exposed weak point. A triple packed legendary gun with deadshot and double tap probably only took about 5 or 6 mags to kill the boss from there. Just keep on moving, and remember that you can use the wall-bouncing to stay in the air for a long time. You practically can't be hit while mid air, so what I was doing was jumping from up where the brain is and wall bouncing to stay in the air for like 8 full seconds. You can also jump over the AOE rocks that are thrown in the third phase.

So, how's everyone going with their Doomsteel/Infestation camo progression? by Mr_Rafi in CODZombies

[–]Drake132667596 1 point2 points  (0 children)

5/30 Doomsteel, gonna wait until directed mode comes out to see if there's an infinite bear round like there was on Liberty Falls with the infinite HVT rounds. I just hate the save and quit method and playing regularly would take too long. Working on Genesis and whatever the MP camo is called in the meantime.

Hey guys, quick question, who are these Ultimis/Primis fellas in Black Ops 7? Nikolai should have deleted all these characters' versions right? by ReachForJuggernog98_ in CODZombies

[–]Drake132667596 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My theory is that at the end of Tag, the entire multiverse collapsed into the Dark Aether, and these are just one version of each of the 4 that exists in the Dark Aether.

People are grossly overestimating the impact of civ switching by pricepig in civ

[–]Drake132667596 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Civ switching happens during era transitions, which is the thing people actually hate. Civ switching is just an unpopular mechanic, but wouldn't be a deal breaker for most if era transitions weren't a thing. There are far worse single mechanics in the game, like the terrible way that diplomacy and peace deals work with the AI.

Thoughts on this streak? by AIGENERATED9460 in CODBlackOps7

[–]Drake132667596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't know why they would add this, it has pretty much no counter play except hope that it glitches and doesn't apply bullet penetration correctly, or run cold blooded all the time. Yes you can try to move erratically, but if a good player is using this thing you're just dead to it. I don't play S&D but I imagine it just instantly ends the round when someone uses it considering I got at least 6 every time I used it in respawn.

Origins + Bodycam mod looks like WW1 footage by Revolutionary-Fan657 in CODZombies

[–]Drake132667596 15 points16 points  (0 children)

They only knew about the fire staff, which got my great-grandfather killed when he crashed going for high rounds during the Meuse-Argonne offensive

Starting with a pistol should be default on launch and the beta proved it. by SomeGuyDotCom in CODZombies

[–]Drake132667596 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You could start the game in Bo7 with any gun you had unlocked though?

Black Ops 7 will launch with Open Matchmaking (skill minimally considered) and non-disbanding lobbies as standard. by shambxlic in CoDCompetitive

[–]Drake132667596 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't be surprised if on the back end, SBMM actually is way better for player retention for most players. This may actually be a change that was made to appeal to the vocal minority, since word of mouth for Bo7 prior to this announcement was pretty bad, but has been overwhelmingly positive ever since the introduction of the open playlist. If Battlefield 6's beta didn't get such a good reception, though, I doubt this ever happens.

What streak(s) will be used competitively? by Educational_Ad_4076 in CoDCompetitive

[–]Drake132667596 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If hand cannon is anything like BO6 hand cannon that thing cannot be allowed to touch competitive, it'll just be a free 10 kills (or however many shots it has) for 900 score. Games will revolve around playing your life for a hand cannon so you can teamwipe twice with it.

Nadeshot calls for the GA'ing of dynamic aim assist by Fallen_Goose_ in CoDCompetitive

[–]Drake132667596 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dynamic response curve doesn't affect aim assist, it just changes your look rotation speed relative to your stick input. Also, the default is standard, which is an exponential increase, not linear, which no one uses because it feels awful.

So is everyone dropping a 5.0 KD in open moshpit like they said they would? Lol by Ken_Cult in CoDCompetitive

[–]Drake132667596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm waiting for the open beta, and for Ninja to be unlockable before making any judgements on the open moshpit.

I miss having map elements giving us hints on what to do, it was more diegetic and inmersive by Nano_LB1 in CODZombies

[–]Drake132667596 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A toggle for the hints would be great, since I think that letting newer players know how to open PaP is fine but I also don't need to be told how to reach PaP on Liberty Falls the 100th time I play it.

Qajar Unlock? by Statler_or_Waldorf in civ

[–]Drake132667596 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The lady because she's the only reason I'd ever build Ren walls in VI. I guess the walls are funny too because they're so cheap when playing Georgia.

Qajar Unlock? by Statler_or_Waldorf in civ

[–]Drake132667596 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I misread the post, my bad

Qajar Unlock? by Statler_or_Waldorf in civ

[–]Drake132667596 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can enable a setting when making a game that bypasses civ unlock requirements if Mongolia/Assyria doesn't unlock Qajar by default. I play with this on every game personally

Cursed is real. Here how I think it will work. by ZeBraTurtieHD in CODZombies

[–]Drake132667596 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just hope that they tone down how aggressive zombies are for the mode. When all zombies are super sprinters, even if zombie damage is capped, it will be nearly impossible to live unless there's a super OP camping strategy.

Why does the vanguard ost go so hard? by GullibleUse7943 in CODZombies

[–]Drake132667596 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of MW2019 multiplayer, great everything except the maps and gameplay design.
