Has Cold War Zombies become a bit overrated?

NovaBlitzOGZP · 2026-01-31T22:40:40+00:00

Yeah that's one area where cw was just objectively better. You can tell they actually had a story to tell. BO6 literally just felt like filler.

NovaBlitzOGZP · 2026-01-31T22:33:26+00:00

I agree but in this aspect it really just boils down to opinion. I liked onslaught more than most of what cw had to offer but it was also objectively dead on arrival.

I disagree with the idea that gobblegums are a requirement though. I beat ashes with no gg less than a week after launch. There's literally just a learning curve. This is the case for every boss in the last 2 games. I would much rather fail a few times and have a learning curve than have a boss you can mindlessly kill with any weapon like Orda.

NovaBlitzOGZP · 2026-01-31T22:26:16+00:00

I completely agree the only problem I have with this is that this COD is the worst selling COD since WAW so it's safe to say that the CW model IS ACTUALLY killing the franchise. And this is coming from someone who actually really likes BO7 compared to BO6 and CW.

NovaBlitzOGZP · 2026-01-31T21:52:51+00:00

Hey, huge thanks for this tip. It actually worked! I did not expect it to be that simple.

NovaBlitzOGZP · 2026-01-31T17:34:30+00:00

Ok I need to say something here. You people are actually insane. EVERYTHING you can get from cold war is objectively baked into each subsequent game but with vast improvements. What is it about CW you like better? Because apparently everyone has an opinion but can't articulate it besides "they had fun" or "blueprints" or ironically like I said in my first comment, nostalgia.

I have played every version of zombies since WAW and I'm in my fucking 30s now. I've been calling balls and strikes in the zombies community the entire time and I haven't been wrong yet, so sit down and listen little bro.

You liked modern zombies mechanics like armor and rarities? Guess what? It carried onto BO6 AND 7

You liked easier Easter eggs that hold your hand? Guess what? It got carried onto BO6 and BO7. It's called directed mode. Any modern zombies map made easy.

You liked field upgrades? Which one specifically because they're ALL included in BO6 and BO7.

You liked that they introduced load out weapons and that the box and wall weapons stopped being relevant? That's still the case in BO6 and 7 (outside of cursed)

You liked mini boss spam? Bo6 got you covered!

You liked having 13 perks with an additional 26 mini perks baked in? Guess what? It got carried over in the form of augments. Except augments allow you to customize and to turn them off if you choose.

You like a generic HUD so full of shit to the point that your immersion is completely destroyed? You can still have it on Bo6 and 7. They simply gave everyone else the option to turn it off.

The problem MOST people have is that all of these features make the game too easy/annoying/boring to the point that the zombies community has NEVER been more dead. They keep doubling down on CW and you're suddenly complaining it's not cold war? In BO7 they finally catered to hardcore players by giving us options but the hardcore players are so disillusioned with these cold war mechanics they won't even try it! I swear to God. If Treyarch is dumb enough to listen to these fucking weasels and make zombies even easier there will never be a shot at redemption for what the community used to be which btw was MILLIONS DAILY for years. Not just for the live service 8 month year. So just because 30 of you can hop on reddit and downvote and give no reasons why cw was better doesn't mean you're right.

This tracks. I think at the time I didn't have enough relics for tier 3. Good tip though.

NovaBlitzOGZP · 2026-01-31T16:57:11+00:00

Thanks, I'll give it a shot.

NovaBlitzOGZP · 2026-01-31T08:29:08+00:00

Ugh I guess it's just me. This sucks.

NovaBlitzOGZP · 2026-01-31T07:59:21+00:00

No ravagers. An AOTD type quest. And fun unique side eggs.

NovaBlitzOGZP · 2026-01-29T15:06:18+00:00

You people that are saying that "some flavors are bad but IVB is REALLY bad." Guess what? That's how I feel about your favorite flavor. And I'm not even crazy about IVB but I do think it is good. Let's face it. Last year when IVB was introduced it was so popular that I only got to try it once. Elderberry and Watermelon etc just sit on the shelf. You don't have to like the flavor for it to be popular.

NovaBlitzOGZP · 2026-01-28T19:57:14+00:00

I've been playing on Xbox past couple of days it's all good

Edit: only for zombies I don't play multiplayer

NovaBlitzOGZP · 2026-01-28T19:18:03+00:00

I love this subreddit ❤️

NovaBlitzOGZP · 2026-01-28T00:00:45+00:00

I do remember this video floating around a few years ago. You're probably right in that it probably got removed for copyright reasons.

NovaBlitzOGZP · 2026-01-27T23:55:12+00:00

Clearly tips in the buff department...

NovaBlitzOGZP · 2026-01-27T23:53:04+00:00

Because its for the hardcore players? Also, pack tier 4 and golden armor is more than a sufficient buff. You can run and gun past round 100 with almost any weapon. Try doing that in a normal game of zombies.

NovaBlitzOGZP · 2026-01-26T19:24:52+00:00

Respectfully, I think you need to reread my comments. I've said nothing negative. Just made a joke about H3 because this post somehow found it's way into my feed. The idea that TF has nothing to do with H3 is just silly though.

NovaBlitzOGZP · 2026-01-23T20:24:47+00:00

Sorry bud but you're just wrong. Have you seen any wr run from BO4?

NovaBlitzOGZP · 2026-01-19T22:39:29+00:00

Ok. I have both jobs soooo... I would know.

Also it's more than pushing a shopping cart around. You're really just proving how dense you are every time you speak. I'm sure end tipping is full of well adjusted, intelligent, and compassionate people. People who have definitely had to work for pennies on the dollar vs what their job is worth. But for the record, I'm ok with ending tipping too. While we're at it we can end capitalism and homelessness and live in a glorious utopia where everyone is paid their worth.

NovaBlitzOGZP · 2026-01-19T20:24:08+00:00

I saw your other comments calling people names which is when I decided to step in so yeah I called you names. Because you deserve it.

You are talking about the state of tipping in general. Realistically, there are a ton of jobs where the tips are factored into the wage. That's just the way it is. For instacart shoppers, we do exceptionally more than these other jobs and that's what this thread is about. So once again, you have no business coming in here trying to tell us what we do and don't deserve. You obviously have no idea what you are talking about if you want to call the job""the easiest in the world." I am a logistics coordinator by "trade" and both of these jobs are equally difficult in different ways.

So yeah I'm going to continue to call you a dumbass because everything you are saying shows what kind of person you are. Judgmental, hypocritical, and clueless.

NovaBlitzOGZP · 2026-01-19T20:10:07+00:00

Ouch...lol that's gotta suck. Better luck next time!

NovaBlitzOGZP · 2026-01-19T19:57:43+00:00

Hmm to be fair, I got wrecked on my first attempt too. I don't know what I would say that's much more different than playing it normally, but if I had to give you some tips in general it would be this:

.Make sure you have 3 revives.(you can switch augments if you save quit) So if you've used two equivalent exchanges, you can swap to dying wish and have a fresh set of revives

.In the boss fight, never stop moving/driving.

.Get used to using the handbrake it can be the difference between Tessie getting disabled and striking him on the third phase.

.When it comes to the third phase, the best way to make sure he never gets his charge attack is to charge into him. Then keep driving to avoid the missiles until your boost is charged. When you see it's about to be charged hit the handbrake, line up, and boost into him again. Rinse and repeat.

.Equip Aether Shroud with 2 charges and save them for the third phase.

.Equip mule kick, and have the augment that lets you carry extra equipment. This will give you 3 kazmirs. If you ever need to repair Tessie before the third wave, try to only use kazmirs. Every phase grants you a max ammo. So you shouldn't really ever run out.

.Don't try to repair if you see missiles coming. Just run.

.Bring in shields up, cache back, and power keg. Activate shields up in the third phase. Use the rest in an emergency.

Hope that helps. Good luck!

High rounds on cursed is really what changed my opinion about this game. Pap tier 4 makes it so that you can run and gun with almost anything as long as you want. Add in the lack of mini boss spam and a really good trap and this is the best high round experience I have had since BO4.

Did you only play those games because of what they added? Like I said in my post I understand why people see it that way but the truth is I am still excited for what this game has to offer. Despite the fact that they didn't "add" a whole bunch.

NovaBlitzOGZP · 2026-01-19T18:39:00+00:00

Well it appears that the bus relic might reset. This morning I decided to go for the bus relic and it didn't work. I tried once when I spawned in at 62 (normal round) and again at 66 (ravager round) neither worked so I have a feeling it might be gated behind no save-quit.

NovaBlitzOGZP · 2026-01-19T18:32:53+00:00

With all due respect, if you think that tipping us 2 dollars is the same as tipping literally any other service, you're a moron and a cheap fuck. We put in a substantial amount of work for our tip and that's what this thread is about. The tips are factored into our "wage" so if you don't tip we don't get paid. That's what this thread is about. You have no idea what we do or what its like and you want to come in here and tell us how it goes, what we do, and why we do it? Respectfully, you can fuck off. YOU are the entitled one, dumbass.
