Black Ops 6 is phenomenal. I’ve spent countless hours playing around with all three pillars since launch and have barely scratched the surface. Given the live service element, I’m saving a full critique until the first additional Zombies map is released, but I still wanted to get some initial thoughts…
Black Ops 6 Zombies: A Blog About a Blog
If it wasn’t clear, it should be now: Treyarch is listening to the community more than ever. Despite a short turnaround from reveal to launch, Treyarch has acknowledged and addressed much of the feedback for Black Ops 6’s release. Yesterday’s blog post delivered valuable information about Zombies, including a deep…
Into the Intel II: The Chaos Story, Mr Peeks, and the Dark Aether Villains
Following the first Into the Intel, which covered Project Janus, the relationship between Aether and Dark Aether, and some thoughts on MWZ pre-finale, I’m back with further musings about the mysteries of Zombies. First up, something Black Ops 4 fans haven’t stopped talking about since it was discovered. Chaos Control…
Concord and the Game of Survival
PlayStation has dominated the headlines this week, and for good reason: Astro Bot is a triumph! Currently rated at 94 on Metacritic, the game proves that smaller-scoped titles can be massive successes if you trust the development team to deliver on its vision. Flip the record over, however, and we…
Black Ops 6 Beta: Week One Feedback
The Black Ops 6 beta has been a lot of fun. I’ve put in about 8-10 hours, maxed rank days ago, and am still playing just for fun. It feels like a successor to Cold War and Treyarch’s classic Black Ops games while having the boldest movement changes to a…
Look At This Esthtuk Zortuk
With the (excellent) Black Ops 6 beta live, bits and pieces of leaked information are making the rounds on Twitter. One thing that has caught the eye of many Zombies players is a potential “Classic Mode.” All we have is the name; we must make zero assumptions here. For all…
The Panic of Liberty Falls
The last three weeks were lovely while they lasted. The air of positivity around Black Ops 6 Zombies has returned to the usual nonsense. Unfortunately, I’m not surprised. Let me be clear: you are allowed not to like the game. If you have issues with it, you are free to…
Richtofen Returns; Liberty Falls
The word “cinema” gets thrown around a lot these days. It’s been repurposed as an adjective to signify the quality of something, commonly a scene in a movie or video game. I’m guilty of using “cinema” to describe anything I deem fit. Like most modern linguistic trends, it started as…
Modern Warfare Zombies Finale: Fishing in Shadows
The finale to Modern Warfare Zombies could easily have been lost amongst the hype of Black Ops 6. Many had given up on the mode due to its different take on the Zombies formula and sparse updates, but ultimately, it was worth the wait. I’m not just referring to the…
Into the Intel I: Project Janus, The Aether, and MWZ
One of my favourite things about the Dark Aether story has been the return of mystery to Zombies’ storytelling. As exciting (and beautiful) as the Zombies Chronicles timeline was in Black Ops 3, it ended up sucking a lot of the air out of the room. We got too many…
