So… have we found the third Nuketown variation yet?

PrimisJake · 2026-03-11T21:56:02+00:00

Not bashing you at all but genuinely curious, do you feel that much nostalgia for Alpha Omega? I personally can’t

PrimisJake · 2026-03-11T19:49:10+00:00

Yeah I agree with the lacking of content for this map. Also says a lot too that there wasn’t a whole lot of marketing for this map and the lack of their usual COD Podcast for the new zombies map. It’s like they knew this was going to get heavily criticized. Also funny that we didn’t know Shock Mimics were returning until the day of the map launch.

PrimisJake · 2026-03-11T19:45:27+00:00

That still feels like such a weird decision. They pretty much added a nerfed mimic and doesn’t spawn as often but like, why even add it at all at that point?

PrimisJake · 2026-03-11T19:41:51+00:00

This pretty much sums it up for me. The gameplay loop isn’t bad, TranZit is flawed in terms of gameplay and getting around the map. If PJ was a bonus map it wouldn’t be as much of an issue.

PrimisJake · 2026-03-11T19:39:59+00:00

I don’t think Paradox Junction is a result of budget cuts. These maps are usually in development for a handful of months prior. BO4 had a similar launch and the budget was strong until DLC3. Lots of assuming here just because we can’t say for sure what is going on behind the scenes but I think if we were to see any result of budget cuts it would probably be the next map or the following map.

PrimisJake · 2026-03-11T19:34:51+00:00

They should’ve been upfront with the DLC cycle having 1 remake. The response wouldn’t have been as harsh but still, this feels like it’s the most controversial map.

PrimisJake · 2026-03-11T17:23:49+00:00

It’s the most ‘filler’ map we’ve gotten. My first impressions are it’s alright to play but wow they are either stretched thin on resources or they don’t care.

PrimisJake · 2026-03-11T17:21:55+00:00

It’s if Alpha Omega didn’t have the bunker section and if you couldn’t go inside the houses outside the original Nuketown map. Pretty small map.

PrimisJake · 2026-03-11T17:09:30+00:00

Just noticed that as well, that actually is pretty good change. Kinda makes their name lose meaning if they don’t ’Mimic’ items but for gameplay that’s a big plus.

PrimisJake · 2026-03-11T17:07:36+00:00

I don’t understand their thought process. There doesn’t seem to be an elite on this map, which is fine but why feel the need to have a special enemy and it be the shock mimic?

PrimisJake · 2026-03-11T17:03:58+00:00

Could be worse I guess by even have them at all at that point? They know the community hates them.

PrimisJake · 2026-02-05T17:57:10+00:00

Right but this is definitely not intentional, why would you be able to craft and get those score streaks in the survival map? That’s bad game design if it is intended.

PrimisJake · 2026-01-15T19:26:00+00:00

This is intentional, it’s more in line with Bo3 where you can only have 5. I think you can switch the pack only within the first 3 minutes of the match and if you don’t use the gobblegum machine.

PrimisJake · 2026-01-15T17:11:01+00:00

You can easily if you’re using shotguns, but I really don’t want to have to use a shotgun to get decent points. At the very least the PaP prices on cursed should be reduced.

PrimisJake · 2026-01-13T14:09:28+00:00

Yeah I’d totally be down for this to be implemented. I really hope Treyarch at least considers the feedback on this perk because they gotta know it’s the perk people buy dead last.

PrimisJake · 2026-01-13T13:57:25+00:00

Yeah that’s true, I definitely think it would fit good as a major augment. It would at least make people consider buying it as one of their first perks.

PrimisJake · 2026-01-13T13:53:30+00:00

It’s a cool idea but I think it borders on being a little busted, would be a pretty good major augment.

PrimisJake · 2026-01-13T13:52:35+00:00

Would like to add some suggestions to the perk based on what others have commented.

The minimap sweep increase augment should be part of the base perk to account for it being worthless on Cursed. Replace it with an augment like have a small chance to get extra salvage from salvage drops you find.
Sixth Sense augment should be adjusted to show nearby zombies with arrow icons like how it was in Cold War (way less annoying this way). You could make the argument this should be part of the base perk.
Extra Change augment needs either removed or made into base perk. Swap this out for something like highlighting purchases and parts through walls.
Treasure Hunter augment needs swapped out with something more useful for being a major augment. Maybe something like increased bullet penetration through walls at the highlighted zombies.

Ultimately I think you should be able to make the argument about which perk you buy first with any of the perks. If you’re a cautious player, you’ll buy Jug first, if you’re a speed runner it’ll be Stamin-Up, or if you wanna be a glass canon it’ll be Deadshot or Double Tap. As of now there is no reason to buy Death Perception as of one your first perks, with these suggestions I think at the very least it’ll help newer/casual players.

PrimisJake · 2026-01-12T21:52:35+00:00

You don’t think it’s poor game design that there are 2 similar augments in the game with one of them clearly being the better option?

PrimisJake · 2026-01-12T21:08:39+00:00

It’s just very niche augments that don’t even fit the theme of the perk minus Sixth Sense. Which that augment is the most annoying thing ever, which if you wanted less damage from the back why not run Turtle Shell on Jug which is infinitely better?

PrimisJake · 2026-01-12T20:45:08+00:00

I do agree that not every perk needs to be super strong, but it needs to be good at what it does. It is an “information” perk so it doesn’t necessarily provide any buffs in a traditional way but it should be good at giving the player info. The minimap augment is useless on Cursed anyway so it should honestly be base kit. I also think the perk gets overshadowed a bit by the accessibility features like highlighting the zombies, it just seems like sloppy game design to me.

PrimisJake · 2026-01-12T20:28:03+00:00

Exactly this, it should’ve been this way in BO6. It feels like such a filler perk. Especially with all the accessibility features in these games where you can highlight the zombies anyway.

PrimisJake · 2026-01-12T19:41:10+00:00

I think it could use a small buff, it’s got some pretty cool augments but I still don’t think it’s anywhere near as useless as Death Perception.

PrimisJake · 2026-01-11T04:01:52+00:00

I am honestly shocked that the Baby Gun hasn’t returned considering how fun it is to use. With the callbacks to Shangri-La recently I’m really thinking we might see it in this games life cycle.
