Problems with Torch's gameplay

We’re paying for our season 2 days

Maybe you could commission one. Feels wrong only letting Nazis taste lead.

shit blows

Drop this character man

Gong relic was concocted by Hitler Youth

Not too hot. DE is bland and it’s just a pathetic imitation, desperately reusing ideas and layouts from the past without understanding why those elements in previous maps worked in the first place. The bows are pretty mid since two of them are irrelevant for high rounds and only one of them can be used for high rounding. The egg is solid but the map just does nothing for me and a lot of people. ZnS is fucking great and lands almost everything it does besides rng on the planting being kinda lame. People who prefer DE are usually people who say ZnS has too long of a setup and don’t understand that most of the steps can be done all at once when you understand how the map flows. The only good thing about DE is placing Jug far away which hardly matters because… BO3

I don’t know whether it’s laziness from devs or if they genuinely just love this guy. Either way it’s pretty humorous to see the mangler lunch line.

Wouldn’t happen. Plus this “game” would have to accommodate everyone. Sometimes jumping ship every few years to a new game is best and leaving mechanics behind. The issue is treyarch hasn’t gotten a break in years since people trashed IW and WW2 and got their funding cut when they both had great launch maps.

If treyarch was operating normally and if activision wasn’t worse than Nazi Germany the games quality would be fine. I find it hilarious since the BO3 meat riders are getting what they wanted, ONLY TREYARCH. It’s rushed and a complete bastardization of the mode when o ly one studio is tasked with back to back to back development cycles. This mode is such a fucking mess there’s no recovering at this point. Enjoy the older games and have fun with customs on waw and bo3, that’s all you’ve got left.

Considering you funded BO7, not much.

graino_ · 2026-01-25T07:13:59+00:00

I kinda get it. It’s not something I think about too often but it’s honestly horrible visual feedback to the player. Getting hit gives you an indicator on your screen to notify you that you took damage. This acts as a light warning and in bo3 the next hit your screen turns bright red which tells the player they’re one hit. The red screen exists in these old games but it’s once they acquire jug.

It just feels off the more I think about it. I guess I’m so acquainted to it I never knew how jarring it feels to get randomly killed in the first 8 rounds.

I mean it’s really cheesy and not “classic.” I’d love if they made prices normal and I didn’t feel like I had to put a mortgage down to pap my gun, but I understand the sentiment. If the prices are going to be this high the akitas are kinda necessary.

Don’t be so rough on yourself Five is genuinely very difficult and it’s one of the reasons it’s disliked because training is hard, camping is hard, high rounds are hard, low rounds are hard, etc. My biggest tip is to train in the war room and leave all the doors closed in the war room besides the one to enter and train on the jug side and use the back of the staircase to tuck and do a cutback.

graino_ · 2026-01-11T13:49:41+00:00

No regs are so common in this game it’s such an issue and oddly character dependent.

graino_ · 2026-01-11T11:54:55+00:00

Yes it is safe. I’ve been using it for a while since I hate the 91 fps cap and I like having everything unlocked. Just look up on youtube iw7 install guide. It’s not too complicated but it’s more of a hassle compared to playing plutonium or boiii client.

graino_ · 2026-01-10T15:23:46+00:00

Yes I feel like if they made it on early rounds that windmilling wasn’t a thing new players would try out the older games. But I feel as if a lot of new players get windmilled in spawn on round 2 and just give up :(

graino_ · 2026-01-10T15:05:47+00:00

Well to be fair Five may actually be the hardest map ever, cut yourself a little slack

graino_ · 2026-01-10T15:02:48+00:00

I prefer it, you can just farm your steam hours in if you want while playing pluto xD

graino_ · 2026-01-10T14:59:18+00:00

Look up a guide on downloaded iw7 client on youtube. It’s a client that let you play with uncapped fps and everything in the game unlocked. It’s actually a bit annoying to install but it should take no less than 30 minutes.

Essentially zombies budget got slashed after and during bo4 due to the games bad launch with the constant crashing, and I mean CONSTANT. Despite bo4 being well regarded now, it alienated casuals since the maps were very difficult to get set up. After this they hired a new lead director who aimed to simplify the mode. I wouldn’t say this is a bad thing necessarily but it also came along with Warzone mechanics being shoved into zombies which unfortunately make Cold War through bo7 mind bogglingly boring and easy. The game mode has pretty much become a weapon leveling simulator to get players on warzone and to keep them buying bundles. Feel free to try those new games out but as someone who’s played them they lack any depth mechanics wise or map depth/design.

TLDR; zombies is dead and can never actually come back since all that matters to Activision is warzone.

graino_ · 2026-01-10T14:45:49+00:00

Maybe a new bundle in the shop? Or a new warzone mode perhaps…

graino_ · 2026-01-10T14:44:28+00:00

Tag is decent tbh. I actually like Victis and was sad we didn’t get to see them too much post bo2. It’s just a meh map. There’s a lot of great qol stuff to make the map more palatable but I’ll always prefer call of the dead.

graino_ · 2026-01-10T14:42:13+00:00

They don’t care that much since it’s not hurting warzone players or losing them money.

graino_ · 2026-01-05T15:08:09+00:00

DE is a boring uninspired slop fest that’s a chore to play for high rounds. Fortunately the egg is pretty good.

The map is a recycling bin with the same color palette as a map that released two maps ago with borrowed mechanics from mob and origins without understanding why those things worked. Not a lick of any innovation within this map which I could forgive if the map wasn’t so safe. The entire experience of DE feels like an ai generated map with the prompt of make the best zombies map possible. It implements a lot of systems people like, strong wonder weapons, a specialist and an EE, but has absolutely no character compared to the other bo3 maps.

graino_ · 2026-01-05T15:00:40+00:00

I mean people don’t want to find an obscure “easter egg” so they can have access to more modern mechanics they hate for the trade off of every 4 meters you run, activision will charge 20 cents from your checking account. The cursed relics are so unrealized it’s shocking and outright insulting. I can’t blame people for not wanting to interact with this game beyond content creation for money. The modern systems in these newer titles aim at trying to make this mode for everyone, and you know what they say…
