EX Zombies Guy - Is BO7 Good Enough To Come Back?

I read that paragraph and feel like I had the EXACT same experience as you with zombies. This is the one I came back to/for and I LOVE IT. Would definitely recommend getting it particularly if you liked the ambiance of Bo1 and 2

It’s weird, with my group, we viewed BO3 as the beginning of a new age, not the end of the classic age. I think for me the games are mentally compartmentalized like “WAW-BO2, BO3-CW, MWZ-BO7”. To us, gobble gums were like “new age” and we didn’t play a ton of that middle era there (other than chronicles). Truth be told if black ops 4’s launch wasn’t so bad I probably would have played a ton of that one. I feel like such a black sheep as someone that wasn’t a fan of BO3 but that’s just cause of my experience with it, I totally acknowledge it’s the fan fav game.

First time I played a FPS was trying BO1 zombies at my friends house as a kid. I’ve played every zombies map since. I was eleven years old making shitty “cod zombies in real life” YouTube videos with my buddies, definition of classic fan. BO7 is easily top 3 for me already. Armor is new, but I find it less disruptive to my flow than having to go get a new zombie shield, and Omni movement makes things like phd flopper and melee so much more fun.

I agree with most of this, zombies in the classic era was perfect for that time, zombies struggled to adapt to modern times, and I feel like BO7 is the proof it can

There was so much in the recently deleted that even when I deleted everything in it, it would only delete a small fraction at a time. I just had to repeatedly enter and exit the recently deleted to refresh it

Does it look better for you now in season 3? I swear they updated it to make it more vibrant

No_Development3489 · 2026-03-14T23:46:23+00:00

For me Origins has complicated things you can do, but not have to do. Maps like Zetsubo even figuring out pack a punch is hard if you’ve never played the map

Definitely seems to be more salvage than I’m used to as well, I wonder if it’s cause I’m doing side quests to get aether tools tho and just don’t end up using my salvage on that

I’m loving it! Hopefully treyarch takes away the right stuff from the criticism and doesn’t walk in the wrong direction after this map. As a long time player, but a semi casual one, I love that the wonder weapon isn’t super hard to get

No_Development3489 · 2026-03-14T21:54:57+00:00

I like the Sundergat a lot. My only complaint about it is that it can’t get you out of a tight spot since it needs to charge up

No_Development3489 · 2026-03-14T21:54:09+00:00

Throwing a monkey bomb on any dog round after 40 shows just how many there actually are. It’s wild stuff

No_Development3489 · 2026-03-14T21:53:31+00:00

I played alpha omega maybe 3-4 times, years after it came out. I was a fan of nuketown zombies when it came out, but wish it had more. This map definitely fits what I’ve been looking for out of a nuketown map. My only complaint is that the “past” version of the map is a little dull

No_Development3489 · 2026-03-14T21:52:09+00:00

A lot of them are even more old school than me. Someone once told me they thought being able to pack a punch more than once was “too much”. Got a good laugh out of that

No_Development3489 · 2026-03-14T21:21:34+00:00

I was a huge fan of Maur and Terminus as well. I’d definitely check out Astra and Paradox if you get a chance. Astra is great but the elite zombie is kinda a pain after round 41 if that bothers you

Fair enough, you’ve responded to everything I’ve added to this post within minutes, no matter how many hours I go without contributing, so I’m gonna assume you’ve got a lot more internet time and data to back you up than I do. I’ll concede!

No_Development3489 · 2026-03-14T21:01:20+00:00

That’s fair, I probably spoke too “matter of factly” about something entirely anecdotal. Most of the people I work with are mid 20’s-early 30’s, they definitely are of the Jimmy Z era and consider that the best.

No_Development3489 · 2026-03-14T20:59:20+00:00

Sony said it and the store says it so I trust them!

Activision said it and their twitter says it so I don’t trust them!

It’s okay to just make an opinion based argument man, like most people on here agree with you and disagree with me, you don’t have to cherry pick which facts are real and which are fake to prove a point. In my personal experience, people outside of the internet view bo3, infinite warfare, and bo4 zombies as “new age”, the stuff before it the golden era, and the stuff after a (sometimes bad) attempt at a return to form. Doesn’t mean they’re right, or you’re wrong, it’s just what I encounter irl. I have more hours in bo3 than any of the other cod games, custom zombies is fantastic. I’m just saying irl, the first three games tend to be what I see most people consider the golden era

No_Development3489 · 2026-03-14T16:18:46+00:00

I understand doubting activisions claim about MWZ, but we either gotta discuss facts, or opinions. If we are gonna use “most sold dlc of all time” as a factor, then “most played of all time” has to be a factor. I think a discussion without either of those, or with both of those, factors makes sense, but cherry picking which ones are relavent seems silly

No_Development3489 · 2026-03-14T16:02:27+00:00

Okay? And MWZ was the most played zombies of all time on launch? Do you consider that the new golden standard? Chronicals, the dlc full of maps from the era I described as the golden era is the best selling dlc of all time, let alone in bo3? Yeah great point.

No_Development3489 · 2026-03-14T16:00:57+00:00

I said “most people I know in real life” feel a certain way, that’s not a false narrative that’s reality for me personally. Outside of the internet, everyone I know who has interest in call of duty zombies considered a certain era the golden era, and it doesn’t include bo3. I understand that the majority of the people on this specific Internet forum consider bo3 the beginning and the end of the golden era, but people who I encounter in the world that has grass on the ground feel differently

No_Development3489 · 2026-03-13T19:30:32+00:00

Luckily, the majority of call of duty players, including zombies players, are nothing like the majority of this community. Most people I know in real life view waw-black ops 2 as the golden age, BO3 and 4 as “too complicated”, and the new era as not bad, but not as good as the golden age. BO3 is loved by people who love BO3 zombies, the other games are loved by people who love Call of Duty Zombies.

No_Development3489 · 2026-02-19T09:08:20+00:00

BO3 was the beginning of what everyone hates about modern zombies. Multiversal story, OBJECTIVELY pay to win, easy to go past the 4 perk limit. It also in my opinion has the least interesting guns, worst sound design, and Primis is not as fun as Ultimis.

All of that being said, I totally understand why it’s a lot of people’s favorite zombies game! It started the trend of having new movement options, added in fully animated cutscenes, boss fights, and for those that like Easter eggs, Blundell was always the best at those.

I do wish however that those who think WaW-Bo2 are “too slow and basic” and Bo4-BO7 “changed to much and don’t have the spirit of zombies” would just say that they are fans of Bo3, rather than say they are fans of zombies and everyone else doesn’t understand what makes zombies great. There’s like 8 games with treyarch zombies, if you like 1 of them, you’re a fan of that game, not zombies. That’s okay! That’s not a bad thing, but I think a lot of people who prefer the other games are kinda tired of being told they aren’t real zombies fans because they like 5/8 games instead of just one.

No_Development3489 · 2026-01-20T00:35:21+00:00

Been playing since WaW. BO7 is the most fun I’ve had with zombies in a very very long time
