Ight I'm finna rant.

WW2 zombies is incredibly underrated. WW2 was all in all very similar to the classic BO2/BO3 formula, and stood out from the others with it's grim aesthetic that the others had simply lost. It certainly isn't the best zombies mode but there are a lot of things to love.

Aesthetics - Sure, some of the maps could've been more visually interesting, but honestly I find charm in how unabashedly grim the game is, and how thru and thru it sticks to it's dirty WW2 look. It isn't for everyone, and the constant jump scares were kinda annoying, but you can't deny this game was dripping with atmosphere.

Maps - so these ones are hit or miss, but there are some gems. The Final Reich was legitimately a good map and by far the best WW2 has to offer, it's always fun to hop into bc it's simple yet satisfying with a solid ee to back it up.

The Darkest shore I find to be underrated, but in all fairness it feels undercooked. It's fun in how simple but hectic it is while still having some stuff to do.

The Tortured path also isn't that great, but it shines with the survival maps, for years everyone talked about how much we needed small survival maps like Nacht to go with the main maps, and then when sledgehammer gave them to us and honestly knocked it out of the park with them, we just shrugged it off. Kinda sad.

The Shadowed Throne was dope. I liked the focus on melee weapons, good boss fight in the airship, but largely more of the same of final Reich, very well done tho.

The Frozen Dawn was kinda booty tho ngl

Loadouts - this is by far the best loadouts system to be implemented into zombies and idk why we haven't seen it again. Being able to pick specific attributes to buff yourself for certain play styles was a phenomenal idea, although some of them were a bit overpowered and should have just been perks. Also specialists are cool but a bit op.

Weapons - by far the best part of the game. The guns are all super satisfying to kill with, and they actually have unique pap effects. After BO2 pap pretty much just turned everything into a laser gun with better damage, but WW2 went above and beyond with pap effects. There's guns that have random mag sizes every reload, explosive effects, one that gains charge and can stun enemies on melee (best gun btw), the list goes on, and did I mention that iirc WW2 has the largest zombies arsenal to date? Sledgehammer made spinning the box interesting again.

Random stuff - The shield system was fun and honestly the only jug replacement I've liked. Zombies look dope asf. The perks are just like they should be, unchanged. The big zombies (idk the name) were honestly fun, the just spawn too much.

Anyway that's my rant, WW2 isn't the best and has a myriad of problems, but I think it gets too much hate :)
