![]() Players can also form a team and head into each match together. ![]() Missions List, In-game Screenshot “It is unclear why you can’t load into a lobby of six before the match starts instead of having to join up with strangers.” It feels lazy and doesn’t show much innovation in the survival-based mode. ![]() Aspects such as exploring the map and looting items to sell at buy stations come from that mode, except now players get a currency called essence to Pack-a-Punch, use the mystery box, etc. Adding to this is the glaring issue that the mode is just recycled from DMZ itself. The mission system feels like a step back, as players can only finish all tasks on one mission card at a time rather than three simultaneously, like in DMZ. It all works for the most part, although it has its issues. Secondly, a mission-based gameplay loop provides players with a goal while going into each match, adding meaningful purpose to each run. All players must do is extract the desired weapon, and they will unlock it, just like they did in the DMZ mode in Modern Warfare 2. For example, it is a much easier way to unlock weapons and equipment for the Call of Duty: MW3 Multiplayer. The gameplay in Modern Warfare: Zombies, or MWZ as it is referred to, has different elements that make and break it. “MW3 Zombies feels lazy and doesn’t show much innovation.” Fortunately, while the story takes a backseat in this mode, the gameplay does a lot of the heavy lifting, albeit with many caveats. In-game ScreenshotĪlthough the story has never been at the forefront of Call of Duty Zombies, it still doesn’t do enough here to help contextualize the gameplay in an interesting way, instead fading into the background and becoming easily the most forgettable Zombies mode in the franchises’ history. The narrative feels like an afterthought, and the absence of an overarching easter egg diminishes any intrigue the Zombies mode may have had. The little nuances of narrative here and there feel like padding and made me not as invested in the Zombies story as much as I should have been. While you do get a cutscene after finishing an act, it all still feels incredibly lazy, as if it has been halfheartedly rushed together. This is largely due to the fact that it is told throughout audio logs, which you’ll find while completing missions. Unfortunately, the narrative is the worst part of MW3’s Zombies mode. ![]() The story is set up to be approachable for both veterans of the storytelling and newcomers alike. Players join as a member of Operation Deadbolt and must work to stop their plans from coming to light. Victor Zakhaev believed to be dead during the events of Warzone, has returned and allied himself with the mercenary group Terminus Outcomes to weaponize the Aetherium against the world. 1 month ago In-game screenshot “Unfortunately, the narrative is the worst part of MW3’s Zombies mode.”Ĭall of Duty: MW3’s Zombies mode takes place many years after the events of Black Ops: Cold War.Treyarch has gone on record that they had to rebuild certain aspects of the maps and it certainly shows. Sure, there is a general familiarity with the layout but to me it all felt fresh, vibrant and new. Everything from the character models to the maps themselves, all aspects of the levels look and feel completely new. It has been quite some time since I played World at War and the original Black Ops game but the maps nevertheless look amazing. All 8 maps look stunning and the detail is incredible. There is no question the most noticeable eye popping difference with these maps is the enhanced visuals. Yet, it doesn’t stop me from playing and it was one of the reasons why I was really looking forward to this collection. If I am playing by myself I never seem to last more than 5 or 6 rounds and when playing with others I often feel like they get frustrated with how bad I am. There is no denying I love Call of Duty’s Zombie mode but I have no problem telling everyone I suck at it. “There is no question the most noticeable eye popping difference with these maps is the enhanced visuals.”
