@TheGamingRevo3 >EVERY MAP TAKES PLACE IN DA WE GOT UNLIMITED CREATIVITY >2 maps back to back take place in a random town on earth with ZERO Dark Aether aesthetics. This aint looking good chief

@masteroogwgay A 3D version of any of your songs like I am the Hype.

My tool makes 3D animated videos within minutes, fully automated. Give me a topic and i'll make a short preview for you.

@Conmanay @TonyHaleRapt 100% the plan was get Chronicles 2 out and in those maps have Victis return and collect the Ag Device (buried), shard (die rise or tranzit) then finish off with the Great War map to get Richtofen to survive and break the cycle (reduced to a radio by Pablo in Tag). Such a waste.

@InfoCerberus @TonyHaleRapt 4. A final battle map against Monty and the keepers, kinda like an inverse of revelations but with a similar astetic It’s awfully suspicious how little Tag Der Toten itself is in the outro isn’t it? Not to mention how Nikolai acts like they’ve talked to Monty

If the Summoning Key is intact, does that mean my glorious decrepit shadowman king is still alive inside?

@MaD_MrL And yet, besides Terminus and Citadelle, none of these maps geo was even made by Treyarch and all of it outsourced to High Moon Studios instead.

Black Ops 6 Zombies is the only Treyarch game where all the maps are entirely original and didn't borrow any level geometry from maps prior to their release. Every map in this game has its own level design tailor made for Zombies.

@Conmanay @TonyHaleRapt He appears in Blood's radios and plays a major role in the map's story so that explains the 4 in Blackout. And he would've definitely appeared in Zombies year 2 DLC together with Monty before Treyarch decided to cut the maps and handover development to another studio to finish up

@TonyHaleRapt He’s one of 2 things that I’m certain were part of bo4 but got cut. Why does he have a 4 logo in blackout? I think tag’s ending is how things were always going to go, but we were going to fight Monty with shadowman’s help

@Stanley5574420 Its like Zielinski all over again. "Lets put all these random things in the map. Wait, explain? Nah the community can make up their own story." Didn't work then, and certainly doesn't work now. Even a throwaway warden quote or cipher that says "hey that gun is mine!" Is too much.

@InfoCerberus That's what I'm not getting. They said they brought back the blundergat because it "felt right" ok that's fine and all but in game the blundergat should help inform the world of Paradox Junction, should be connected to the villain somehow. Instead it's just here for no reason

"The Raygun Mark 2, its origins are unknown" "It's the Fabled Staff of Ice!" Literally nothing on the Blundergat Treyarch writers I'm BEGGING YOU to give returning wonder weapons some lore

@Stanley5574420 Blundell era: "hey lets design and make this incredibly detailed timeline that the community didn't ask for but will absolutely love" Modern zombies: we ran out of ideas copy paste that important weapon from the past but make sure NOT to let our writers team anywhere near it!

These are such easy brownie points to have the wonder weapons fill out the map identity. It's so lazy to bring these things back just because "oh we thought it fit the map" THEN MAKE IT FIT THE MAP?! Like what are we doing here????

@Stanley5574420 That's why he's the GOAT. He's the only Director ever from 3arc/IW/Sledge that continued the past when he took over. Critically viewed what worked, and improved what didnt (Victis/Takeo). I prefer some retcons over setting up omnipotent DA beings than never mentioning them again.

@InfoCerberus Blundell was around for a very long time at Treyarch, and he clearly loved the confusing lore and loose plot threads zombies brought to the table. He probably enjoyed the challenge of trying to make it all work

Hey good job Treyarch you guys remembered one of the plot threads you set up! You guys looking to cover a few more this year? We got some big ones just waiting in the wings

@MmmmDoughnuts21 @Stanley5574420 @SmartGuy316 Only thing that's missing which hopefully they go full in during the map is - what does the Warden want to achieve? We have an idea because of leaks; but the game hasn't explored his endgame in the slightest.

Plus, you can feel how the Warden truly believes he's doing the right thing. Like all good villains do. He has such conviction and is actively doing things to succeed instead of just standing there menacingly lol The fact that we can retroactively attribute events from MWZ and BO6 to him makes him feel like he was there all along, too.

How in a story that I have absolutely no interest in do we have probably the most interesting antagonist ever lol.

@MmmmDoughnuts21 It must be an intentional design choice. They solved the "Wonderweapon & Max Ammo" problem all the way back in Shino by just having the DG2 (and later WWs) not being able to generate powerup drops. They can easily do the same with ammo crates. They just choose not to.

I imagine Treyarch is struggling to create a blatant "OP" Wonder Weapon like the Thunder Gun or Apothicon Servant again due to the Ammo Crates essentially giving us "unlimited ammo." But like... Can't you just make it so that the Wonder Weapon can't buy ammo? Or make it something ridiculously expensive so it's impractical? Like 10,000,000 Points or something?

@Stanley5574420 @KeyJay115 The Maxis radios from ZnS still make zero sense to me. Maxis is alone in a post apocalyptic world (what happened?), has memories from his other versions, gets a visit from Monty, and confesses he has been hiding something from Richtofen.. . But what exactly?

@KeyJay115 pretty much. Fractures are an entirely different concept than just the multiverse. It was literally the universe fabricating different realities and worlds as it slowly crumbled and unraveled. A multiverse is usually a good thing in media. the fractures were not.

My personal reading of The Giant's radios is that they are glimpses into the alternative fractures of the multiverse. Given that this is where those fractures begin, when time splinters it begins to reverberate back to Der Riese.

@TheGamingRevo3 @Stanley5574420 That really doesn't work in this case. Der Anfang/MWZ was 90% reused assets from MP/previous Zombies. Its a design choice if any to have either bloated teams that extend production timelines, or too few people working on a map, which is more likely the case.

@TheGamingRevo3 @Stanley5574420 They just can't do it anymore. Mob was made in less than 2 months. Most of BO3 DLC had a 80 day from concept to beta deadline. Time isnt the issue.

@Stanley5574420 @VerrucktMann @jackwallmusic >Chaos ends on cliffhanger >Vanguard brings back Chaos >BO6 implies Chaos is in Dark Aether >Community more & more hyped with every Chaos tease as DA story crashes >Get an extra 5th DLC map slot from Activision >"What map shall we remake?" >Alpha Omega (wasnt even made by 3arc)

¿Llegará el día en que una BSO consiga superar esta obra maestra? Yo digo que no.

@letsgetcanceled Same reason we aren't seeing Director's Cut trailers or Z comics anymore, it's just a choice from Treyarch. SNN Remake, Archon, MWZ, none of these modes were even developed by 3ARC but by Act. Shanghai, most 3arc did was supervise.

Everytime I remind myself that Vanguard and MWZ got new art for their post launch content, I simultaneously wonder why Bo6/Bo7 couldn’t do the same despite having a bigger budget. I mean we still do get artwork, but it’s only for the launch map nowadays.

@TheRealMinsky So they replaced her with Roger Craig Smith's character who undoutedbly charges more than Shipka?

I wonder if they killed off Kagan because they couldn’t afford Kiernan Shipka to voice more lines

@JJ32464764 Awful ending. Nikolai should have told the others the truth, then they collectively agree to self sacrifice to end the cycle. Richtofen always kept the truth from the others, Nikolai should have trusted them. Instead we got: Nikolai just had the balls to deceive & kill them all.

With every new lore addition, more and more I believe that BO4 is a story about giving up. It makes the whole game a tragic tale about a man trying to trick his friends into their own undoing while keeping the facade of progress

@MargwaBot Is it Craig Houston!?

There’s something inside the Kortifex box wtf

@Stanley5574420 People are probably coping because they don't want yet another "evil bad guy is evil because... he's evil!" Villain we've been getting ever since Blundell left. At least Medusa/Monty were kind of interesting. Foresaken on the other hand...

My only issue with the Great Voice being a reborn/corrupted Jebediah Brown is that I really want him to be a new villain. Forsaken, Kortifex, and Ava all had unique reasons to be main antagonists and making bo7 legacy heroes fighting another legacy character would be boring
