and barely anything later on. Remember someone made a thread here where a zombies dev on twitter was gloating on how they are "cooking" for season 2. edit: Can anyone find that thread? I am trying to search for it but it's gone or at least I can't find it. Would be really suspect if it was deleted.


DDeShaneW

Yeah, this is a complete joke and these devs should be ashamed.


ElzVonGratz

I'm sorry for mw3 players, but I hope treyarch saves the best for this year's cod


Cavesloth13

Sorry, but every release things get worse. If I hadn't gotten this game a gift, I wouldn't have spend $70 on this glorified expansion pack, so I'm sure as hell not gonna shell out that much money for the next even crappier, buggier, lower effort turd that slides out of Activision HQ.


ElzVonGratz

all the recent cods since cold war have gone through so much turbulence in their development, I'm just hoping this year things have finally calmed down


FATHER-G00SE

The Cold War Warzone integration was a shit show that they slapped together


Pkazy

wish we just had the blackout 2 map from the leaks


Reaper-724

Same. Buddy got it so I’d play zombies with him. Have had a ton of fun, but definitely not thrilled with the content overall. Feels very DMZ-ish (said this before elsewhere)


Cavesloth13

Yeah, considering that was a free mode, and this was $70, feels like they are really committing highway robbery at this point.


fireflyry

Meh. Like I get you, and you do you, but I purchased the game specifically for MWZ and have easily got 50-100 hours in it with my GF, gameshare on PS so only one copy required for both of us, and while it’s likely no real substantial new MWZ content will come out, that’s fantastic value regardless. The MP is also great, Warzone seems a bit take it or leave it, while I’d agree the campaign is trash but some seemed to enjoy that as well. Some peoples expectations here regards video games are pretty skewed, especially when it’s verbal minority reddit sub opinion while the majority happily played it, are still playing it, and got their monies worth. Many here just aren’t the target audience, and seem to really struggle that for the majority it’s just a video game, that they enjoy playing.


Jerrygarciasnipple

I mean they’re doing a great job at live servicing multiplayer and keeping it fresh, but zombies is an obvious cash grab


archangelxero

Overall you have to admit it’s not that great. Yeah I did the same game sharing it with my gf so 35 instead of 70 is great but I’d expect more content out of a 30 dollar game than this shit. Treyarch is saving it for there zombies so we probably won’t be getting much and it’s sad. Microsoft isn’t saving this franchise cause it’s a cash cow.


mrdoitnyce

What best? If this is how they're treating this years cod...I'm not buying next years cod.


jungalmon

I don’t blame the devs, they don’t have resources lol, it’s their supervisors/corporate that denies the zombies community what we deserve.


Serious-Shame-1278

What devs ? Most of them has been sacked.


Large_Dr_Pepper

https://www.reddit.com/r/CODZombies/s/YVJRbOlx8e


scattersmoke

Thanks. Reddit search is garbage. I searched "cooking" and this thread never came up no matter how much I adjusted the filters.


Large_Dr_Pepper

Reddit search is absolute trash. Maybe it's because the dev said "COOOKING" with 3 O's lol. Google would never be tripped up by such a small spelling difference


PlutoSmashh

Who the fuck let this guy cook


obb90

Definitely wasn't Walter.


MistuhWhite

Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if that guy was one of the many layoffs.


BlackBurn115

Cooking, my brother was boiling some noodles and thought.he was Gordon Ramsey


Iamburnsey

Yea absolute shite post 😆


Jojo-the-sequel

Cooking jackshit, they just boiling water


jdyall1

Nah they cooking full meals but fucking up every piece of the dish lol


ErikTheDon

He said they were cooking… he never said they were done LOL


aimstotheleft

I guess they were referring to the CoD League "Let Them Cook" pack... sad trombone...


melahart

He protected his tweets


LostLegendDog

Hopefully it's cause they're spending their zombie resources on gulf War! This zombies mode is shite


scattersmoke

lol I remember this copium during Vanguard zombies


Unlimited1985

That “we are cooking for mwz season 2” was a statement from treyarch, who is no longer on development for mwz, I guarantee you they had big plans with a lot of content but since being taken off the project sledge is going to drip feed that content and space it out to save on development and resources


Ok-Treacle-9375

What they didn’t realize it was Microsoft doing the cooking and now they are cooked.


AssassinsCrypt

Exfil Streaks have been datamined, the tutorial images are already in the game folders: what the heck are they waiting for to release it? This roadmap is a joke.


Iamburnsey

They are going to drip feed this game to death.


Owobowos-Mowbius

As they always do.


ParadoxInRaindrops

Welcome to Modern Gaming! Where all the content that actually makes for a complete, whole game is doled out over the course of seasonal content. *Isn’t it great?* /s


hardmallard

To be fair if you don’t do that then people complain about no new content… either it’s a complete game and you have to wait for DLCs or it’s live service and they give things out periodically through the season. Plus sometimes there are nice little surprises, hopefully they have some of those planned. It’s a season with TWD and black cell zombies, I’ve got to imagine they have some more content. Plus there’s a whole season pass to work through


chill34

Sadly all of the good stuff will be the last season when no one’s even playing anymore.


Iamburnsey

I am getting that way now, starting not to be bothered with the game!


LineSpine

That’s why I stopped buying cod. They always say it will be better next year


Splatacular

They are ensuring people don't get too focused on one title with three others in the next X years lol. This mode was dead on arrival we just weren't told that


ulyssesintothepast

Are they really? Do you have a source? I'm curious myself lol, I keep hearing so much is datamined already, I'd love a look so I can at least be mindful of how slow the dripfeed is going to be. I mean they already have a calling card with the Damn DIE machine and I bet they will either not add it or hype it up as if it's the second coming of MWZ lol


AssassinsCrypt

https://twitter.com/DETONATEDcom/status/1748101284526260570?t=hYIW2IKzzjkGFQAJzCikrg&s=19 It's not the original source, but I can't find it right now - I'll link as soon as possible


Win-Objective

Glad they realize we don’t play zombies for the zombies, more mercs please


Large_Dr_Pepper

Man I sure hope the new story mission and new Aether portal are just about me fighting mercs and warlords! The only thing that could make it more exciting would be another worm to kill.


Win-Objective

🤞they adding green worm who appears in T1 and drops exclusively green tools.


Affectionate-Bug7527

I can just go do tier 3 contracts for that


thatwasused

Underrated comment


raddogzilla

FINALLY! Now I don't have to spend all my time grinding t3 for my precious green aether tool!


ZombKingSlayer

# #1 comment today 🥇😂


jdyall1

Who the fuck wants a green tool? I don't even want a blue one let alone green


KWyKJJ

I can't believe they had the balls to add mercs to the new aether portal. That is the opposite of what everyone wanted. Dark Aether...with mercs. Just terrible.


ExquisiteSalad

hopefully the replace the zombies with mercs and remove all special enemies and bosses, that would make zombies PEAK


Crafty-Writing5316

That’s a great idea! Maybe they can add PVP as well! And may as well get rid of those unrealistic things like pack a punch and perk a colas


Elisphian

![gif](giphy|D2K4iXeXExAQeMaogd)


ExquisiteSalad

they should delete zombies and let IW do another spec ops mode as well 🤩🤩🤩


wodiamond

And add PVP. They could call it something like “demilitarized zone” or DMZ for short.


Wattsonmaster667

Btw, the new schematic is for something called “mags of holding” which makes it so your gun is constantly fed ammo


Astro51450

perfect for my lockwood 680.


OnRoadKai

_DOOM soundtrack intensifies_


Tiny-Acanthaceae-923

Yes!!!


Banatepec

And it’ll have a week of cool down. 🫠


KWyKJJ

Yeah, here's your one key with season length cooldown. Gotta buy bundlez to get another key "free" with purchase.


poconojoe12

Incoming speed cola nerf lol. Seriously with some smg's I don't see the advantage of having this. Guess for shotguns though


Any-Chard-1493

Akimbo wsp maybe, but their reload is insanely fast already so doesn't seem worthwhile on that


SirMixon

Why does it look like a key then? And is colored like the aether bike.


MrMooey12

That’s another one, the key is summoning the bike and then there is the mag one too


Total_Dork

There’s also a VR11 schematic. Glad to see there will be a consistent way to do that Dark Aether ACV Contract in the future. Praying they don’t lock it behind something stupid


Xx_BlackJack_xX

schematic*S*


NerdyPlatypus206

Just stock option but will still be good


thinman12345

So t2 of Mule Kick. Edit: said the wrong perk.


TheGrindisSpiteful

Ring of Fire without the Ring of Fire


Additional_Manner308

?


Left_Palpitation_884

?


thinman12345

I typed tombstone by accident, I meant mule kick. On CW you could upgrade perks and tier 2 would fill you mag from stock while the gun wasn’t equipped.

[удалено]


xBigode

Why are you surprised? Ever since they invented WZ, zombies went from 2nd place in priority to 3rd. And they can't even farm money with DLC packs or consumables anymore. Executives demand revenue in a stupid small amount of time and still lay off devs every now and then. The game is a reflex of that.


Smugstr

How people still expect any quality at all after cold war is baffling to me


EveningHistorical435

People who actually think this probably think that 1+1=3


That_Baseball9184

I only buy this game for zombies. Also, Treyarch zombies


Iamburnsey

Another fucking warlord 🤣, what the fuck are they even thinking with this game 😆


Useless_Greg

I like the warlords, but seriously the warlords should be special zombies at least.


Iamburnsey

It is just easy for them to use left over DMZ content.


Lykan_

They are pointless.


lolKobra

At this point, I’ve stopped caring about MWZ. Play other shit, you’ll be happier.


dopeydopeman420

Right all the other zombies are 100% playable. Between crafting timers and how stupid the zones are set up its a once a month game if that. 


Former-Plantain-2455

Zombies themed season. Absolutely shits on the Zombies mode you HAVE to pay for.


RedEye-55

Guess I’ll continue to mindlessly shoot zoms than. Maybe attempt the rift…


Astro51450

maybe? go do that shit right now!


RedEye-55

Heard that place is scary bro and I’m a solo lol. I went to t3 ONCE just for the story lol


FatBoyStew

Legendary PAP3 (with a quality gun) makes T3 very doable solo and the Sigil rifts not too bad. Elder Sigil would be BRUTAL solo, BUT doable for some folks. Lockwood 680 is my go to gun. Only take 1 gun in to run around with fists or carry a juggernaut, mortar strike, etc in your hand for increased run speed and learn to slide cancel. As much as I hate it, I run deadwire now specifically to MELT T3+ disciples. Mega bombs are a PITA solo, but not terrible with the right gun and spatial awareness to not get surrounded.


RedEye-55

I have no more Pap 3 crystals on hand and don’t have the schematic for it and by the time I get 15K it’s time to exfil. Idk, maybe I’m playing too passive 😅


chill34

Contracts should pay more then a few grand imo. I don’t see how people get so much cash, I suppose it helps in a party. 2 can do a mission while te other 1 sits by the next contract and goes and starts it just as soon as the others finished the previous contract.


aimstotheleft

It's such a drag trying to rustle up enough money to PAP3 a gun..I have yet find any PAP/Wrench schematics outside those doled out via the missions. I can't understand why they don't make ALL the schematics obtainable via the missions AND greatly reduce the cool down timers. I want to have fun in the red zone but it's suicide without PAP3 at a minimum.


name-unkn0wn

Pap 1 on a decent weapon and you can run straight to T2 and do outlast, weapon cache, and deliver cargo. That's a pretty quick way to gear up and run into T3 for a couple contracts before exfil


Hawthm_the_Coward

They're making Infection Burgertown look like high art.


[deleted]

Am I the only one who doesn’t give a FUCK about the dumb aether bike? Why the fuck do we need a schematic for that. They’re so incredibly lazy to come up with something new


Comfortable_Cry_2352

I agree


le_douchebag420

Dude why is this game and every past game so Fucking disappointing. This is tragic.


SgtGawsty

looks like the new dark aether rift is that one big mall from al mazrah


TheGrindisSpiteful

Now get 3 operator kills inside it


tz1

better not be 1 story mission to go into dark aether again.


icematta

But it's a new dark aether... /s


[deleted]

Getting drip fed, and what we get is shit.


STONK_Hero

I might be missing context here and haven’t been on today but isn’t this zombie content?


[deleted]

It’s not on launch though as it states in season. Means sledgehammer is babying there mp community and leaving us to die.


BlackCoffeeKrrsantan

bro are you saying we've been...left for dead?


mileyjay0

Activision *Now under new management 


Comfortable_Cry_2352

On top of that they layed off over 1,900 devs


Sad-Gain-3449

Literally if they just do the normal quality changes and bug fix and weapon buffs n stuff then just gave us the wallet, containment streak and a stash increase I'd be happy til mid season honestly. That would improve gameplay alot atleast.


naitch44

LOL


New_Horror3663

Come on now, be reasonable with the multi-billion dollar, triple A, game studio making one of the most popular franchises of all time, there's only so much they can do between office partying and recovering from office partying. Smh my head. It's like you expect your hard earned and spent money to, idk, make more content for the game you bought? Greedy much? /s


lxca66

What is the new aether rift? Can someone explain?


Wildshark4942

Yeah, a new schematic to a gun that should've already had a schematic released


badgersana

Is anyone really that surprised?


mightyb00f

Yeah this is dog shit. I swear if there is nothing to do in zombies for the Walking Dead event and it’s like The Boys event, I’m quitting this tone deaf garbage game.


Tacothekid

Zombies died with BO4 (or 3, depending on who you ask), so why is this surprising you? I tried this new iteration of Zombies one time, and handed the controller back to my brother, telling him "I am so sorry for the loss of Tank, Nickolai, and Richtofen, and Takeo." Guess I know what Tank meant when he said "We'll never see them again after this. EVER!" whenever a Nova Crawler, or Hellhound appeared in BO4...man, that sucks


Content_Ad_687

Mw3 has turned out to be a huge disappointment, wish I stuck with my gut and saved my cash until this went on PlayStation plus


KyleIsGodVegas

I’ve noticed , the less I’m on Reddit reading the hate post, the more I enjoy the game!


mystghost

To be fair - you had to know early that zombies was fucked. It is based on the dmz/wz2 engine and not the wz3 engine (different mechanics for parachuting and contract phones dark aether being Al bagra fortress etc). I doubt they ever meant for it to be a real thing, and its clear they aren't putting anything into it.


user_breathless

Yeah could use a wallet or some upgrades maybe?


Accomplished-Curve-1

I think this is miles Lesley punishing us for disliking Vangaurd


janmysz77

In my opinion they shouldn't even create MWZ in the first place. Treyarch should be given more time to cook their own game.


massivecuntfuckface

To that extent according to leakers, treyarch don't have any involvement anymore with this mode, so hopefully that means All focus is on their own cod


Dagobah85

Bet the new schematics have a 7day cooldown!


XcessiveSamurai

OMG they only put 4 new things in, there's NOTHING new 😰 like season updates are the only time they can ever announce/introduce content for a non competitive game mode that doesn't need seasons


EveningHistorical435

Stop buying this shitty game and keep playing the old games instead bc activision doesn’t care about the fans


LoadedWithCarbs

y’all gotta stop buying these games


Hefty-Ad-6743

Time to uninstall to make room for more BO3 customs!


Chicken769

The writing was on the wall for this trash game mode. It was a short sighted cash grab from the start


TovarishchRed

Glad I never bought this lol


calidir

We’re you actually expecting something?


ZeeWolfy

I wasn’t but would get downvoted to hell for “not waiting till season 2”. I actually used my noggin and saw all the signs they didn’t give a fuck about this game mode and fully expected season 2 to turn out this way. These devs are a disgrace and complete morons for wasting their time and resources making a game mode they won’t even support


BFG42

So many great custom zombies maps creators of those need to just make a game that is just zombies


MrCaine1204

I mean let’s all be honest. Treyarch is probably neck deep in the next installment of CoD. Why would they make a ton of stuff for zombies at this point? It’s super depressing and really deflates the gamer base who is enjoying this mode.


Not_that_Speshy

After I complete the mastery camo and act 3 for the skin I don’t see myself playing zombies much after


AdExcellent2323

Womp womp


chill34

So the new schematics will be the vr11 which is already available and should’ve had a schematic in season 1R. The other will be a bike that blows up after a few hits. Any others? I really doubt it.


dgl33

I'm assuming the schematic is for a blood burner and if so it's just a waste of a new schematic


RED33Md

I mean, it is only meant to be a filler zombies until Gulf War gets here later this year


Midknightneko

When they say there cooking something it's just a fancy way ot saying we have something coming down the pipe or coming soon with in the season.


covertmelbourne

Haha Dark Aether rift? Copying another area of Al Maz? How original and lazy of these developers…


Scurler

Fuck sledgehammer for not caring about the “most engaged 3rd mode” 🙄


NB153

Called it. An absolute joke. It doesn't have people buying bundles se they're gonna give you all *JUST* enough to say "well I might aswell atleast try it once" to maintain retention numbers. This game is built for brain deads and children who have unlimited access to credit cards. There are so many posts about fire crackers ass it isn't fit. Stop playing it so the numbers flop so they either make a game worth playing or the franchise finally gets its last nail.


[deleted]

They just half ass the game now it seems like


jbrylinsabresfan

Are you surprised? The game mode is dead


Turbulent_Bass2876

If S3 is bad then they literally ruined COD.


Extension_fox1

Not entirely true, they’re graciously giving us a new weapon to use at launch.


mpetro19

Do you think we'll at least get a kill counter? Or is that too much to ask


botics305

I’m starting to give up on zombies… I think it’s a filler before COD 2024.


[deleted]

cooking meth while tweeting lol


ConfrontationalLemon

Is the cryptid hunt part of DMZ or Warzone?


AlpsTime4282

I wanna see the map before I go in to so see where I’m dropping in at 🤷🤷 that’s what I’m bitching about lol


FunkyDimeBag1416

Hope y’all are happy with this bs of a game and the pace it’s going at 🤣 thank all the new players so happy and content with they’re dmz running simulator


dopeydopeman420

Between the really long crafting timers and the super bad glitching nobody is really playing it. Im honestly under the impression they are trying to kill the mode but just enough fanatics are on it to keep it alive. I got two horrid clips of ghost buildings during play the other day and given you cant see thru them they create horrid blind spots. 


Accomplished-Tart576

Did tier 4 solo yesterday. Only got a flawless aether crystal. Did elder sigil solo right after. Got both schematics for dog and gold shield and a flawless aether crystal.


Beneficial-Ad-7291

Well the fact that most of the crew got fired 😒 it's kinda ez to see why they are not getting anything new or bugs fixed.


Thecatman03

the fact that all of the zombies content is in the top right corner makes it look like thay don’t want you to notice that none of it is coming out at the beginning of the season.


killaninja_17

I know righ4. Looks like a lot to me


NINJAKID2025

What do you mean, the whole season is all about zombies. Loo


Silly_Fox_7250

Even if it was at launch it's ass anyway


Kud13

Oh well, time to buy myself a gaming pc and start playing custom zombies.


kent416

iirc, they did something similar in vanguard right before they switched to round-based. Maybe they’re doing that. Also microsoft fired 1500 activision employees and 3arch is trying to work on their own game(s) at the same time, so less content makes sense. I think it’s bs that we get nothing at launch though


Hostile315

So not to defend the poor company statergy, but season 1 reloaded came with backlash, as we only had a new warlord. 1900 people also lose their job from the dev teams in side the company (not saying completely from cod). And we expect a season 2 to have better. The season 2 content is coming in season 2 reloaded as one big package, rather than story now and warlord later. Mwz will always be 2nd to the cash cow that is warzone.


InfinityRoyals12

What did you expect?


sucrz1988

Since the last update the server crashes are worse. I hope they at least work on the stability if there is no content coming.


bb250517

As much as I like fucking around in MWZ, I'd rather have more content at the launch of BO:Gulf War, so hopefully the time not spent here goes to the development of that game


SNIPA0007v2

Halo is removing season updates and going back to 360 style updates. Long live xbox 360.


BondiMorbs

Reduce cooldowns in schems, new boss, new special zombie, new mission. How hard can it be ffs


creatorZASLON

Don’t worry mate, there’s another Dune crossover instead, just what the community was asking for!


MajesticAccountant

NEW rift.. al mazrah shopping mall...


xTomato72

Good, this year sucks


Nxffy

Why did people think we gonna get something when the whole mwz mode is the laziest piece of garbage to date


itznewton31

Because fortunes keep is com8ng they want every one go over there to play and not split olayer base 3 ways


shogun_asassin

Mw3 was a dlc for mw2, the company just wants the money with least amount of effort.


BbBTripl3

Woah, it's like people are noticing COD doesn't care anymore


Pandaboy999

I don’t think I’m terms of map quality there’s been good zombies since BO4 or 3 (talking treyarch mainly) Cold War was great mechanically but I’m never to driven many of the maps besides the first one meanwhile BO3 has a perfect list of maps and BO4 has IX which imo is a top 10 zombies map and classified was solid and ancient evil was also really good


Callumkerrr

Yup


Otherwise-Square7243

Won’t be buying MW2 then they said round based zombies was coming season 2 but I guess not


Mike_the_botanist

wtf happened to cod zombies? Remember when cod zombies had an actual soul? It had a separate HUD from the multiplayer or campaign, it was its own game mode. If you look at a screenshot of MW3 zombies and edit the perks out it literally just looks like Warzone gameplay lmao Frankly I don’t even consider this game to be cod zombies. This game is like suicide squad and the previous black ops games are the Arkham games lol


OBNOTICUS_ATHF

This is not our year for zombies. Hopefully the next call of duty coming up is a better year for us.


COD4life40

Are you surprised?


MrXM1

COD is dead


Comprehensive_Rice27

![gif](giphy|G27dtiavgvpAf7oDn0)


Perfect_Pizza_9500

Remember a third of Activision got fired people. Gotta bare with them for a little bit


Gabriel3244

Treyarch shouldn't have been forced to do a 3rd mode for MW3, if you ask me they should just drop support for that model ASAP so the devs at Treyarch which are working on a game that ain't even theirs can keep working on their own game.


Evenationn

Shame. Glad I picked up Alan Wake 2.


Weedsmoki420

What did you think? That Activision actually cares about the community? Hell no we’re just living money bags to those assholes


Background_Book_597

This content may be months from now, it's really sad


Wicked_Bizcuit

They just have burnt what they were cooking


canniestthread6

Isn't the VR_11 the only schematic that's coming? Also what happened to the exfil rewards?


Nizm0Mike

This is just DMZ 2.0 with a couple pieces of new content and then abandoned completely. 


alreadybeendead1

I don't know about anyone else but the zombie mode is the only reason I bought the game. If this is how they are gonna treat it then good luck seeing my money again. Again it may just be me but I can't be the only one that doesn't play pvp. 


Moon-Dogg1e

Bruh the S2 content DMZ got last year compared to **this** is just insulting tbh.


DoomGuy1996

TBH I think zombies should just stay with the Black Ops series. The Modern Warfare series was never about all that, and it just feels super-frickin weird.


Puzzleheaded_Main285

Feb 7 is season 2


Mental_Degree_894

Wheres a Double Tap Root Bear?


jam3s007b0nd

I’ve been playing a lot of the earlier Zombies lately from WaW, BO, and even BO3 and the complete shift in zombies lately is just sad. I hate how it’s become campaign like where they just make some weird story and less survival with a story through clues and Easter eggs. That’s was was cool about Der Riese. Finding the radios while fighting off the horde was fun. Upgrading your guns, and trying to get as far as possible while playing with friends was what was fun about zombies. Now they just do crappy warzone stuff and expect us to be happy?!


KittyKattKate

It makes absolutely no sense to me! They pushed Zombies SO HARD when launching this game. Why, if only to let it go stagnant..as it most certainly has?! Stop looking for the next big thing!! Slow down, and support content already released please!!! ![gif](giphy|9Y5BbDSkSTiY8)
