To loadout or not to loadout? Thanks to the lack of new Black Ops 6 information, that question is doing the rounds again. Like most current-day Zombies disputes, the starting weapon debate isn’t new. The community remains split on the idea that emerged when Treyarch first toyed with letting players…

MWZ: Unstable Rifts Live Up to Their Name

Modern Warfare III’s Season 4 Reloaded update launched this past week, and with it came another nail in Modern Warfare Zombies’ coffin. It’s a shame. I was a big proponent of the mode, and despite receiving much criticism at the reveal, it launched to a fairly positive reception: The gameplay…

Excising the Easter Egg: What Can Black Ops 6 Zombies Learn From Destiny 2?

Bungie delivered. The Final Shape was a worthy conclusion to Destiny’s Light and Dark saga, more than living up to the ten-year build. It continued the hot streak of campaign expansions in Destiny that started with The Witch Queen (despite notable issues with Lightfall’s story, I thought the campaign was…

Seven Things to Make Black Ops 6 Zombies a Success

It’s roughly three weeks until the reveal of the next Call of Duty, and for many, it’s business as usual: a ritual or a habit more than something to get excited about. Those outside the CODsphere remark, “Another Call of Duty?!” and move on with their lives. But for those…

Modern Warfare Zombies Review: A Bold New Step Into the Dark Aether

Much was said about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III’s “Modern Warfare Zombies” before release. Perhaps too much. Many wrote it off and assumed it would repeat the mistakes of the half-baked Zombies mode found in Call of Duty: Vanguard. The reveal confirmed that the mode wouldn’t be round-based, further…

BO3 is EIGHT // Modern Warfare Zombies

Black Ops III is eight years old. Time does fly. While there’s certainly a lot of revisionist history surrounding it – omissions of major frustrations at launch, rough DLC launches with game-breaking bugs, and the Revelations ending and “super EE” debacle, to name a few – the game was undoubtedly…
