Zombies mode is so damn PERFECT

[Maverick]

I know it's the "cool" thing to just always treat CoD like it never does anything right, and I absolutely have my gripes with activision....but the new take on zombies, mixing the open-world nature of Cold war's zombies with the looting system of DMZ? I think it's one of the best directions they could have taken it, and I have to give credit where credit is due. If you like zombies, and always wished you could get away from the stagnant grime of being stuck in a tiny box running in circles for an hour defending against waves, this is a GREAT change of pace.

Again, I know I'll probably get dumped on because "HE SAID SOMETHING POSITIVE ABOUT COD, KILL HIM BEFORE HE TALKS MORE!" but I just had to throw it out there for people on the fence. YES, servers are a bit crammed at the moment and there's some occasional lag spikes, but in the hours I've been playing today, I haven't seen anything that broke that deal for me. I was waiting on MW3 with trepidation, fear even. I thought "if they mess up zombies...that's it. I'm not going to go into any more Call of duty games. MW3 will be it."

This change gave me hope, and I can't wait to see what comes next. So yeah, let the hate-shanking commence I guess.

can you confirm whether it is a 4 players group or 6 players? some ppl said it's 6 players but in youtube live streams i see only 4 players in zombie mode, also how hard is it to find random to team with if i don't have friends?

MWZ is great, even if you don't like it. It is hands down the fastest way to level any weapon you want. Easy level 1 to max level in a single match. There's tons of free camos in there as well. Not only this but you can skip out on doing DMZ and just extract with weapons you haven't unlocked in MWZ in order to get it in multiplayer. This makes obtaining and leveling any weapon you want in the game quite easy.

I like that MWZ is open because its less claustrophobic, and gives them more freedom with new enemy types.

I didn't play any other zombies in recent years since black ops series, so IMO its good. However I wouldn't mind them improving and building on what they have released so far. Like I would love to be able to play a match for longer than an hour. Time flies by fast. Nothing sucks more than getting a wonder weapon or a multi pack a punched weapon only to have to extract and lose most of the upgrades you have made, plus the wonder weapons.

It is 4 player groups, with the ability to invite randoms on the map in to your squad, up to 6. I just use auto fill, and do what ever I need to. Revive people as needed, even randoms on the map. After a little but we might all start converging together as contracts get started and so on.

They're gonna patch it :P

I'm having fun with it. There's a lot of trouble to get into and memories to be made. Whether it is helping a solo get back on their feet and exfil. To fighting the zombie equivalent of god in the high threat zone.

I also like how intense it can get. I didn't think much of it at first but it has been a treat. Is it worth the 70$ price tag with the campaign being short and abysmal? Nah. But at least they made zombies interesting.

Hoping for more maps, special infected and weapon mods.

this zombies mode will die quick its literal like playing up to wave 20 rounds on a normal zombies difficulty its so easy and gets boring fast there is no challenge, endless waves is what made zombies fun it kept scaling difficulty

so keep mucking around in the red zone/ helping other players there, even with upgraded weapons its not a cake walk there.

if you could fight the other teams of players it would be better. Otherwise, this will get boring quick.

"Zombies mode is so damn PERFECT"
I had to do 5 times the cryo mod mission with my friends, because the missions in MWZ DO NOT complete as team, but individually, besides that, my friend crashed two times so we had to go around and loot until we found the cryo mod rounds again.

and that grind is just ACT I, the AI mercenary soldiers are way too overpowered, two shots and bye armor plates (even haven the 3 plate armor carrier)

this gamemode is just:
pack a punch two times, put a wep ammo mod, and just kill zombies un getting bored.

also, the turrets are stupid OP and it's comically weird how it insta locks with the zombies, the turrets can do a 180° degree turn in 0,1 seconds like "yeah, this is some high tech stuff"

lmao, the gamemode is garbage, it's fun for the first couple of hours, but get's boring quickly.

no, please just no. You already have to deal with those annoying mercs, dealing with players being able to steal your loot would just make everything 10 times worse.

and add to that, finding a large backpack is like finding a GPU in the old DMZ.
stupid low drop rates for the large backpack.

I miss Outbreak from Cold War. This DMZ Zombies crap is not fun and you can't play solo.

The game mode is fun but far from perfect, i got dragged into the 1st story mission out of the blue while doing standard mission solo, lots of bugs and glitches that need fixing

u can play solo, but u will get overwhelmed very quickly, unless u deploy with a LVL2 refined crystal, blue rare upgrade tool and a ammo mod like explosive or cryo, also with some perk a colas and a self revive.

Your not wrong, I just played it yesterday solo and I love it also FYI there is a third person mode which is pretty amazing!

It's almost like Diablo / BL / DMZ / COD / Open world / Dead Island / Zombies which I think all is a perfect combo. I love Dead Island 2, 1, RP and the Dying Light series and really like most of the Far Cry series and also the combat in COD so this really is perfect if I am honest. I would have bought the Zombie mode separately(if it had more maps). I only wish they will make more maps going forward, can you imagine that!?

I will say this, if they did not f_u_c_k up the launchers MW3 would have gotten a way better ratting. I get it is different and that may p_iss some people off but what they made is pretty cool and I am enjoying it.

Personally since I like Far Cry, BL, Diablo, COD, Dead Island, Dying Light etc this season is sort of my jam and style is rad so I am really happy.

Having said all that I hate the stupid launcher bullsh_it how it is embed in MW2 they should have never done that(a start up splash screen if you did not buy it woudl be more thanenough) so in a way the hate they are getting is their own fault. What sucks you know it had nothing to do with the devs and 100% marketing's fault.

Anyways I agree MWZ is amazing, if they will add more maps then it will be insane, it will be a huge missed opportunity if it is only one map.

The farming by teams before ours left the landing zone almost unattainable, happened more than once, need to fix that.

As a solo player the best thing you can do is when you get a huge herd on you is go into a building that has many floors or take the outside ladder and herd them up that and have a melee weapon in one slot and at the top of the ladder just juice them. If you get overwhelmed than just jump off the ledge with your shoot.

It's really challenge solo and I love that and makes it feel like a real open world Zombie game. It;s cool the Zombie population is really good as well and it's not a massive empty world.

But yeah if you do your load out then your chillin, I just run normal weapons(sort of juiced) and a melee and it feel great!
