One thing I'm glad you did here was mention the vanguard upgrade system, I know many people disagree, but it's way better than the cold war skill trees, it's much more interactive AND rewarding for me because I'm not just trudging through early rounds, it makes me want to survive longer, and I honestly would prefer if the next game's system would be similar, but that's just me
@goldengoose6950

When it comes to the perks however, the upgrades really suck. Jugg for example only gives 50 health at a time. It should give the standard 250 health on first purchase, and then be upgraded from there. The actual upgrades just feel like they're bringing the perks to where they're already supposed to be
@Dr.Hans.Volter
3 ай бұрын
Well maybe they could've done more health first then offered more defense options, jug at base was 4 hits so I'd assume 200 health was the standard. Either way, I still feel it's a more interactive system compared to cold war

@Dr.Hans.Volter 4 hits was exclusive to BO4. In every other game, 5 hits was the standard. 50 health per hit, thus it was 250 health with Jugg. In Vanguard, you can go up to 300 on the final upgrade, but it's literally the only upgrade that is an UPGRADE

I'm not gonna lie. You made me hyped for this map. So I bought vanguard and tried it out. Honestly I wasn't very impressed with the mechanics. The perks system does balance out the op perks but the packapunch system is awful. You never have to do it unless you got a wonder weapon because the box just gives them to you. And you don't have to worry about aats either. Honestly though it was just as easy as cold war. I beat the ee in the 2 hour mark per steams return policy because I wasn't feeling $60 being drained from me. At the end of the day probably a b tier map. Fairly fun but the ee was very short and the boss fight was underwhelming. But you have some very powerful ability to convince me after all of the people roasting this game. Keep up the good vids.

Honestly this is one of my favourite maps in the newer zombies games. I'd play it over MW3, Outbreak, Firebase Z and Die Machine. If this was a launch map it would've been well received and Vanguard mechanics would've had a higher chance of returning. If at the mid/end of Vanguards life cycle Treyarch said "We've been developing this new gamemode to try capture the success of Ourbreak, let us know how this is so we can maybe develop it further for our next game" the objective mode probably would've been more accepted

@CJSanta should add on, I'm not opposed to more Outbreak/Objectives based modes (wouldn't like to see MWZ return though). Vanguard did fix my main issue with Outbreak, with the maps being too large and barely anything in them. However Vanguard was missing objectives that made it too repetitive If Bo6 has it, it can't take away from the main content like Outbreak did, maybe have a small team work on the mode on the side, should they decide to tie it in with the story, a main quest could be added between maps (Where ever it fits within the timeline). If Activision wants zombies in every game and insists Treyarch makes it, I don't mind Outbreak/Objective modes returning as long as that's the first thing announced when they say Treyarchs working on it, then the community can decide whether they're going to get it or skip it
@Sandman2000_HotTake
3 ай бұрын
I feel like the problem with Outbreak is that it took away content for round based and Outbreak is causing the downfall of Cod Zombies, if Outbreak never happened, Vanguard Zombies would’ve never been on the drawing board, Outbreak is a good mode but it’s like the big guy who hogs the bed, Outbreak took over Cold War and it was so successful, if BO6 zombies is bad, I’m blaming it on Outbreak, Warzone ruined zombies and breaking it more than my mental state, Treyarch has to cook for BO6 or…….

I have to so agree. Practically everything this map is just better than the original version. The objective based maps in vanguard are just bad, I was literally bored in my first match playing der an fang. Shi no numa reborn though is what I consider to be the best reimagining of any zombies map since no location in the map is useless. There’s always something to go back for in each area, those being things like the wunderwaffe quest, upgrading you perks, doing the main EE and the new area really does help with map flow since you don’t have to run through the centre of the map. I’d say they probably should’ve added a similar area to where PaP is on the other side of the map and would have like a new perk or something there I know I’m just reiterating what you said in the video but I’m just trying to say how everything you said about this map I completely 100% agree with Also there’s a few menus they could’ve removed like pack a punch and the book and the alter of covenants(this could’ve had like 3 skulls which show what they offer then when you get one of the covenants the skull would eat the heart which would be pretty cool)
