I am curious on what my fellow CZ players think of the latest Zombies offering from Treyarch, which was just released as part of the 1st DLC pack for Black Ops 3.



Some of you may already be playing it, if you have a PS4, and others like me, will have to wait a month longer, if you will be playing it on the XBOX ONE or PC.

I have seen quite a few videos/livestreams of gameplay, easter egg guides and weapon upgrade tutorials already, since Midnight, last night.

For me personally, I absolutely love the look and feel of the map. I appreciate how easy it is to open/gain access to the PaP machine this time around, as oppose to how it was done in SHADOWS OF EVIL. The lengthiest procedure I've seen so far, but looks like fun doing it, is upgrading the Bow and Arrow weapon, 'Wrath of the Ancients'. BTW, this weapon looks a ton of fun to play with, maybe even slightly OP. 

Have any else been enjoying playing the game or watching any of the many livestreams or videos of the new map?

Also when looking at how beautiful the map looks and just how much can be done within it, gets me EXTREMELY excited for the future of CUSTOM ZOMBIES on BO3. With all the many talented mappers there are in the community, and what they've been able to achieve with a dated game, it's quite extraordinary. To imagine what they could be able to do when they get their hands on BO3 mod tools, I'm prepared to have my mind fully blown, over and over again. Keep your fingers crossed that Treyarch releases everything necessary for the mappers to do what they do.

Oh yay! Another original map, how ex... No sorry, can't keep up the act.

They're reusing the old things we love and like from future maps. Just like with SoE. I mean, Panzer? Fine, one reused. Then jumpads? Ok... Oh wait, there is the wunderfizz too? Damn. They're reusing alot. Oh, dogs? Or should I say "Dragons", this time around? Instead of having 4 staffs to upgrade, they bring in 4 bows to upgrade. Same step is the same for everyone. They brought in this beautiful new graphical way of playing, with sliding, gobblegums and more. Well setup for a new experience, with new features. Instead, they go on with recycling what we've already seen before.

Der Eisendrache? More like Der Recycledrache.

This is just my opinion on it, no need to flame me down.

HAHA, too funny and so true. I didn't think of it like that. Which goes back to what I was saying, the creativity of mappers will most definitely bring us ALL NEW experiences in a beautifully new package. CAN'T WAIT for BO3 CZ!

Modtools is our only hope. I'm praying to all the gods it's not getting cancelled.

Or u can play herrenhaus forever. lol.

Honestly your map looks better.

doesn't it just!

Funnily enough we almost made a castle map instead of UGX Requiem a long long time ago. Nice to see a castle map like this finally, will be interesting comparing it to our original ideas.

I just watched some gameplay... What a letdown. I'm find with them reusing things like the panzer, but come on. They used the exact same sounds for
Panzer
Death machine
Launch pads

And the panzer dieing sounds like an exploding car ...

And to top it off everything is ridiculously hard to actually obtain again. I want maps like die rise where the wonder weapon was actually obtainable and the game was fun.

I was looking forwards to this but now I have almost nothing good to say about it.

I definitely get what you're saying. This is why I barely even played SHADOWS OF EVIL, you had to go through so much to be able to Pack. At least on this one, to obtain Pack, it's rather simple. I am definitely put off by insanely difficult steps to just to be able to acquire a certain weapon, open Pack, etc. It definitely takes the fun out of things. I suppose there needs to be a balance in these maps for all types of players. Something that I or someone else may find difficult to achieve, might be rather simple or even fun to do for someone else. It would be beyond cool if Treyarch was capable of releasing 2 zombie maps per DLC. 1 map with a ton of easter eggs with a high level of difficulty and 1 more in THE GIANT style.

Hey, in my opinion, Die Rise wasn't as bad as people say. I feel having the sliquifier being achievable on round 1 was a bit over the top, but other than that it was a pretty successful map?

Apart from the death barriers in the slides that kill you like 50% of the time and are completely unavoidable, the falling to your death coz you missed a drop down/jump by a few inches, waiting 30 mins for elevators, the stupid bank/fridge, the lame ass characters, it was alright yeh.

In all seriousness it wasn't that bad a map, but Der Eisendrache already looks about 50x better IMO and I haven't even played it yet.

Der Eisendrache is definetly better. Original Crew? Yes please. Die Rise hads it ups and downs, and parkour was one of them. To be fair, if you can't do jumping, don't play the map. I dislike Der Eisendrache for it's vast recycled features, with only a few new ones. Bows aren't really that new, it's like reskinned staffs. It's a good map, but I dislike it's use of pre-used features.

All I was saying about die rise was the easy of getting the wonder weapon.

I mean, I could have said buried
