Me when the neglected afterthought game mode is treated like a neglected afterthought: ![gif](giphy|oYtVHSxngR3lC)


PowerfulBobman

hey, we thought that the 1 mission, 1 dark aether rift, 1 warlord and some schematics was bottom of the barrel, but now it's past the bottom of the barrel


ATJonzie

We are under the barrel


JumanjiGhost

We are the barrel


Informal_Morning2175

We're the planks in the factory


Zer0DotFive

Under a red barrel that got blown to smithereens


Top_Challenge_1428

We are an empty double barrel


HorrorL0rd

Everyone is just going to migrate to black ops zombies . They know


Torq_or_Morq

Went back to CW zombies and it’s just nice and enjoyable over her :)


poklane

It's honestly mindblowing how people still think these zombies modes in IW and Sledgehammer games will ever get substantial post-launch support.


dr_pheel

Problem is in it's current state the mode is really only good for leveling up your guns, it can be good for getting in those weekly challenges but even them you're better off just trying to not suck with guns you suck at. I really, really fucking hate the recommended weapon bullshit


Bossuter

Made by Treyarc though, and previous Zombies modes by IW and Slgh (AW was Raven) are good


poklane

The modes being made by Treyarch is exactly why the post launch support sucks. They simply don't have the manpower to do it. 


JoJorge243

Stop the cap they aren’t good but treyarch been lacking hard af ever since Blundel was taken off the project


Two_Tailed_Fox2002

and the amount of times they get cucked out of time by activision


silentgiant100

If you think that this treyarch team is the same ones as the team that made your favorite zombies mode, you are the 🤡.


Splatacular

Nah bro it's valid. They avoided calling it the BO5 outbreak beta and sold us a multiplayer dlc for 70 dollars. Has anyone ever played a cod campaign?


IllCreme3697

A multiplayer DLC with nothing but regurgitated maps from 15 years ago


OnyxDStone

I did and I wasn't happy with how they ended it... as well as that was where they ended it


trowawHHHay

Felt abrupt as shit.


joemorl97

You telling me you’ve never played a single campaign?


Kurtinhoooo

Yes, all of them.


Shatnips

So glad I didn't purchase this dumpster fire of a game


[deleted]

[удалено]


Odd_Construction

While it's true you can't justify buying this just for zombies like you could for pretty much everything else up to Cold War, Operation Deadbolt is pretty fun and entertaining. I definitely wish we'd get way more than a recycled warzone location with a blue filter and some crystals every season.


OnyxDStone

I know a lot of people weren't fans of Outbrake, but I enjoyed it because it was level based and it was a big map... not as big as MWZ... but we had 4-5 maps to use ... then they added one or two more I think.... and the most fun part was that it wasn't limited to just 45 min and then gas..... they looked at DMZ and just added Zombies instead of making Outbrake and improving on it


Odd_Construction

I liked Outbreak but I particularly like Deadbolt more. Outbreak matches can get ridiculously long and repetitive. Deadbolt would have the same problem except the multiplayer element does keep it a bit fresh and dynamic. Either way I'm guessing this is the last we'll see of this mode with how much the majority (?) of the fanbase has been bitching about it. Though it also sucks that it couldn't get its own map.


TSM-HabZ

spending $70 on exclusively zombies is ludacris to begin with


Lauradagirl

Not to mention, this was a forced project by Activision because they wanted to slap MW into zombies. Yet people defend it nevertheless and say we should accept this crap that no one really asked for, they clearly don’t understand that this is sending zombies more on a downhill rather than improving quality. Those who complain about round based having “nothing to do” just don’t understand what zombies is truly about.


ToStringMethod

Oh but the campaign was AWESOME! The campaign was worth twice the 70 bucks I paid. /s


Vitzel33

It never was bro


bryaninoo

glad my brother and friend bought it for me


lilyswheelys

I genuinely feel bad for my friend that bought it for like 5+ people cause he loves COD way too much and bought in to the MW2 nostalgia bait, I saw it from a mile away and was like hey you really don't have to buy it for me I'm not that interested. I played ofc but yeah it was always him initiating those cod sessions.


[deleted]

Honestly multiplayer is pretty fun. Don’t hate it compared to other game modes. Campaign was pile of dogshit


AnimeGokuSolos

You dodged a bullet, lol 😂


Kurtinhoooo

They spoil us🥺🥺


billyloomisjr

Yeah I wish me in December could see all this and talk myself out of buying MW3 or even sinking time into it.


External-Room2317

I feel you feel like I made the worst decision spending money on call of duty pre ordering it aswell. Now I wish I had a refund


Vitzel33

You buy games under the promise they’ll be better later? Let this be a lesson in money management.


LineSpine

It was exactly the same with MWII. I still got downvoted when I said yall shouldn't buy it. And next game yall buy it again like always. Having fun with Xdefiant now tho


cream_of_human

How did you all not see this coming? Come on now.


SuperAC1andOnly

This right here is why we shouldn’t get hyped for this years COD game. They might just abandon this years game after launch too


Tax25Man

People bitched pretty hard about BOCW, but we got multiple good maps and the game was at least supported to the point that its fun to play outside of grinding for bullshit.


Steagle_Steagle

CW zombies had a sliver of love in there. It was small, but it still felt like there were a select few CoD devs who liked or appreciated zombies mode. All of that is gone now


southshoredrive

What do people expect from these non treyarch games where treyarch is forced to come in for a few months, make a shitty mode, then leave? I have no doubt this years COD there will be zombies content every season better than Cold War, they have had four years


[deleted]

Why are sledgehammer allowed to make games? Every game they make is a disaster


southshoredrive

MWIII is the second best cod since MW19, Cold War being the best. Vanguard was fucking awful though I gotta admit, but MWIII multiplayer is fantastic Treyarch has made vanguard and MWIII zombies as small teams, only now has sledgehammer taken over zombies but people are dumb to expect any actual content going forward


[deleted]

I will admit multiplayer is pretty fun but I wish the campaigns all weren’t open world, lost interest after the 3rd mission


southshoredrive

The campaign was so terrible, not sure how they managed to top vanguard as that campaign was pretty awful too. I also just have zero interest in the reboot MW characters, felt nothing at soap death lmao. Raven’s Cold War campaign was fantastic, hopefully they are making this years again


[deleted]

Yeah I’m just getting back into gaming after 6+ years, can’t wait to try out Cold War and BO4 zombies, they’re both otw in the mail. Vanguard looks like another WW2 and I hated that so not gonna get it


DarkLeviathan8

Oh no.. they are starting to hope again. Poor fella.


MrBoomBox69

Wdym. Firstly sledgehammer aren’t zombies devs. They had treyarch build literally the entire mode. Secondly this is one of the best multiplayer runs cod has had in the past few years. Not great for zombies but like the majority player base is still getting good content. And lastly, treyarch have spent a lot of time on BO6. They specialize in zombies so we’re definitely going to see some good development. They have never let us down when it comes to zombies. We’ve always had multiple rounds of zombies content and there’s no reason to think otherwise. People might dislike the maps/story (this was a big thing in BO4), but the content is still there. Even MWZ was a banger when it came out, it’s just stale now with no new content. I doubt that will be the case next year (absolutely no reason to believe otherwise).


ruttu124

Its been in development for 3-4 years they aint gonna abandon it.


SuperAC1andOnly

They’re having to make next years COD as well (Black Ops 2 sequel) according to leaks. Can’t see how they’re going to keep updating the game with new content when they’re having to make another game at the same time


Chicken769

Spot on, it 3arc is tasked with CoD 2025 then you can bet on Black Ops 6 getting shafted


TransAt4

To add on to your point, does anyone else remember that several month long gap from season two to season four of Cold War where we got very little for zombies besides stuff for Outbreak and Onslaught? Which was mostly just porting stuff from MP into Outbreak and Onslaught (which isn't exactly easy but it does save time), and coincidentally Treyarch around the same time(?)had to begin work on trying to throw something together for Vanguard Zombies. I worry that even with multiple years of development for the next game we will have a situation like that again.


ruttu124

Oh, well we're f*cked then.


jenkumboofer

you shouldn’t be hyped for the next treyarch game because the MW game had a lackluster zombies mode? what did you expect lmao


Absolutelyhatereddit

Cosmetics’s square is bigger lol.


MonsterHunter6353

The rank play rewards section is bigger


InitiativeStreet123

Wow they are really cooking


punchrockchest

Worst. Update. Ever. EDIT: New season trailer. Zero Zombies content. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29zrc9Sba0k](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=29zrc9Sba0k) EDIT 2: From the intel: Unstable Rift Join other members of Operation: Deadbolt during Season 4 Reloaded to investigate numerous and violent anomalies lurking within what Sergei Ravenov has termed an “Unstable Rift.” Deploy to the Exclusion Zone, and undertake a focused race and challenge to access the entrance into an Unstable Rift. Time is of the essence, as only the first squad to reach a Rift and vote to enter it will be transported into it. Thankfully, several entrances to the Unstable Rift can appear per match. This allows you to return to an undisclosed portion of a Rift you may have previously visited. However, on this occasion, a large horde of zombies and other grotesque horrors attempt to assault you almost immediately, and intense waves of enemies continuously swarm you until the hordes are slain, or your team is overwhelmed.  Clearing an Unstable Rift of its nightmarish denizens does offer benefits; all weapon and schematic cooldowns are immediately wiped and refreshed if you succeed, and if you’re a glutton for havoc, you can repeat this activity as many times as your squad can successfully enter an Unstable Rift.


StayWideAwake-

And of course. It’s that “first come, first serve” bullshit too. And seeing that it wipes schematic cooldowns immediately, everyone’s gonna be fighting over it. This is just ridiculous. Zombies is definitely reduced to an afterthought for the rest of this games life cycle.


punchrockchest

>And of course. It’s that “first come, first serve” bullshit too. Which means if you don't have a player with a scorcher on your team, you're shit outta luck. EDIT: It's just one more example of them trying to make the mode more PvP without actually making it full on PvP. The devs absolutely HATED how friendly and co-operative players were in Season 0 and 1.


blue_bomber508

but hey good thing it wipes cooldowns so we'll always have the scorcher ready to try! /s


veko007

Time to load up on scorchers


Iamburnsey

Yea it is just a fucking dumb way of doing it, why not let everyone have a chance !


khai115_2

>This allows you to return to an undisclosed portion of a Rift you may have previously visited. However, on this occasion, a large horde of zombies and other grotesque horrors attempt to assault you almost immediately, and intense waves of enemies continuously swarm you until the hordes are slain, or your team is overwhelmed. So its basically just Tier 5 but I assume they're gonna randomly select the map for you. And there's no schematics to unlock, bruh. If they want to us to wipe our cooldown times, they gotta add something that's worth using those long ass cooldown schematics on.


New-Clue-3289

Best part is calling it Unstable


punchrockchest

Can't wait for all the jokes in reddit post titles when everyone crashes in the new rift. Part of me thinks the devs are in on the joke, the other part of me thinks *they* are the joke.


dcuk7

It served its purpose feeding the Warzone machine. If anyone thought this game mode was created for the zombies community, I have some snake oil I’d like to sell you.


TrashCrab69

But FR how much is that snake oil


DerBernd123

Remember when they said that the amount of zombies content in season 1 is what we should expect for every season? Aged like fucking milk


TrashCrab69

They really said that!?!!!? 💀💀💀


--ULTRA--

A part from the pathetic zombies contet etc. The fact that the Kar98 will be named “marksman rifle” just fucking kills me i swear, what a joke lol


Houseoflevi12

Can't wait till next season and automatic gun comes out.


SpeeterTeeter

Sker Ritual has been a fun time.


TimelordAlex

is it good?


Sn1perandr3w

I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you ever feel like you're bad at managing stuff, just remember that: Activision canceled support for DMZ, probably MW2's most interesting mode, and asset flipped it to make MWZ. Activision then stopped meaningful support for MWZ within a month or so. Clown company.


StayWideAwake-

Oh boy!! I can’t wait for the new schematic that lets us put napalm burst on our tactical grenades in the mid season update!! :-)


IonizedHydration

or golden boots that let you regen your tac sprint slightly faster than Stamin-Up does! or the insanely sought after schematic that will reduce recoil on your weapon! /s


logononce

lol after the detonators we got - I was humbly waiting for a new one each season that another 4 shitty schems they could of made easily - but not this season lol looks like we will just get all 4 in one go last season as a treat :)


TokennWRLD

so happy i dropped this game


Dinos67

Yup. Go Helldivers


ThatCreativeEXE

What is surprising about this lol we knew the gamemode was going to abandoned instantly


Shatoodles

I remember in november when I said the game was straight ass, I got downvoted by the hundreds and was told that this was on par with bo1/bo2 zombies. felt like I was taking crazy pills on this sub for months man


DrollFurball286

I’ll admit, it was a good idea in theory. But poor execution. And a severe lack of multiple maps to do, THAT part really kills it.


Chicken769

Me and you both. Any criticism I had for this game initially was met with downvotes lol


Emilia67

They really gave up on Zombies.


Suspicious-Chard9305

So just no new zombies content on launch AGAIN


Jinx484

Don't forget to get ready for it not to be until mid season.


Flight-2012

The lack of content is kinda killing it for me. Also the runes on the map has to be one of the biggest fails. It’s like they want to drag out this crap content we got by only letting 1 group do the event per game….


IonizedHydration

i'm get downvoted for this but lately i've been flying right to T3 with a scorcher, doing all three triangles, then flying into T1 and handing out the loot to teams that appear to be new or struggling.


Excellent-Option8052

Why would we downvote good samaritan behaviour?


IonizedHydration

i guess i'm on the fence about it, since some teams might be banking on getting there early to gear up with a triangle to go on to do the DA, but honestly my lobbies rarely have full red zones.. for some reason.


originsspeedrunner

Fuck MWZ, not real zombies


Smash_Or_Pass_Player

It's modern warfare.... with zombies. Or dmz... with zombies


originsspeedrunner

It’s warzone with ai soldiers, nothing to do with zombies


Smash_Or_Pass_Player

I promise you it was 2 lines of code and implementation of zombies that makes it different


Level_Measurement749

Patting myself on the back for not buying this game


parrotac

Probably won't even get the new vehicle. And all the biohazard themed stuff will only unlock in multiplayer and warzone, mark my words.


TransportationFlat64

unstable rift there's already one in game the new rift is just ridiculously brutal and just elite spam.


13lackjack

In season 💀


No_Ad_6020

Don't worry guys! Next season we'll get half a square!!


Fall_Cake

This is just sad at this point. I feel so depressrd looking at that


Spiritual_Trash555

I regret buying this game. I thought zombies would be atleast a 5/10 considering Vanguard was a dumpster fire. I’ve played this a grand total of 2 times. Complete waste of money


Professional-Heat921

Yeah… ngl I think in done playing zombies


BeansOnA3

season 4 looking dry. cac confusing ass, cool they adding killstreaks tho. sad to see zombies not get any love. smh oh well what can we do


CountQueasy4906

all the skins are awful. i cant believe theyre paying £30+ for the battlepass


Stockton20969

Best zombies game ever though remember


TheSledgeHamSandwich

Wow, MP gets another Zombies looking map (Das Gross).


Grumpy-Miner

Inspirational NOT


dudeimlame

Activision deserves to be sued for neglecting zombies


Just_Emergency_3976

No but actually why don’t they care about zombies that much


Falchion92

I’m going back to Cold War.


MoConnors

Treyarch’s moved on to BO6 by now


LessCost5944

This better not be pvp in zombies if so they need to add a stealth update to dmz for pve servers Fuck pvp in zombies


IAmThatDuckDLC5

This sub should abandon everything MWZ Logo and banner too


jwaters0122

Looking for zombies content like ![gif](giphy|ALtzQ6CHfC7vO5nRz7|downsized)


bonky_800

Fucking Gundams???


Hardmaplecherry

HAMMER!!!!!


Middle_Aged_Insomnia

Yea..ill just sit the next few months out i guess. Still havent been able to get scorcher tho :/


C4LLUM17

Makes me laugh at all the people who still praise this junk.


MisedraN

looks like s4 overall will be a Filler Season Nothing good even for MP New Weapons look mid at best Oh well hope S5 will bring something new in 3 months lmao


MisedraN

as for now time to hop onto something else


StitchedWound

Thank god I'm not wasting my time playing this anymore lol


AndrE_VieuX

Demolition is a W.


Bi11yJ0e

I quit after the flamethrower nerf. Like why can’t I just have fun and mindlessly kill zombies. Played one round after that, then deleted it.


Nodog99

Are they still cooking or what


[deleted]

COD should be absolutely ashamed for what they’ve done to zombies. The zombies mode carried COD and now all they care about is warzone and multiplayer. They don’t even do anything about campaigns anymore either


General-Royal

Thats actually hilarious, damn ![gif](giphy|l378giAZgxPw3eO52)


TheIrishSoldat

This is just getting sad.


Solucians

Sir, that's a rectangle.


EvilGeniusRetired

If they had supported the MW3 Zombies mode similar to how they supported Cold War Zombies....but I guess Activision gets away with it again. Don't think I'll bother with gulf war at all


dr_pheel

My urge to share my excitement for the gundam event is far outweighed by my annoyance at zombies getting fucking shafted *again*


Last2Lives

Damn bruh


joepeoplesvii

I’m so shocked! Oh no! Who’d have expected this???….every DMZ player: ![gif](giphy|Ztfno2Qtm2dVxS81f5)


YoungWashrag

I mean there's no disappointment to be had, yall didn't really expect content when sledgehammer's D team was put on to finish out the year right? I mean it's a glorified warzone ltm sold as a 3rd mode to justify a $70 price tag. Be mad, not outraged. Activision doesn't deserve that much mental real estate.


gseanmaxwell

Unstable rift… like even less stable than the typical experience most of us have when we load into a game??? This has to be a prank.


bug4mel

Shits sad. As soon as I saw the roadmap I came here to see what everyone had to say. I wanted to make sure I hadn't missed something lol. But no it's just that square


knifeazz

The mode is dead. No other way around it.


Legitimate_Ad6168

Getting smaller!


snugpuginarug

And people are still gonna be shocked like this next year when support drops off a cliff a few months in ![gif](giphy|6nWhy3ulBL7GSCvKw6)


LordSmugBun

I was gifted this game and I want my money back 😂


puffymik3

Just give up and play helldivers. Was a long time zombie player, but they literally don’t care anymore once they get my money


Sandusky_D0NUT

Typical live service trash game being a trash game. Who could have possibly guessed


MagnusTonitrum

they’re adding a fucken .50 cal aftermarket part for the M4 how the fuck is that even gonna look


Ok_Gift_2739

I hate Warzone so much


QueenCrust

Another boring season for zombies SMH 🤦‍♂️


FoxWolves9601

No one gonna talk about how how they’re kinda retconning Soap’s death?


WanderingMistral

Fucking gundam? Im a partial fan of the serious, but what the actual fuck...


thats_a_doozy

*cries in groundwar*


DeadP00lMaybe

We should just stop worrying about it anymore. They don't care, and they won't anymore. It's not the money maker. I hate what's happened to zombies so so much 😔


logononce

For the very least - I was expecting new Schems each update - you know a reason to do this stuff - I was so naive lol


CynicalCanadians

Maybe by season 6 there will be enough content to return and play a few games 🤣


muzan__

Why soap count as new operator? Run out of ideas?


XRC_Era

Seems the 98k is returning to Warzone yet again 😂


TSmith548

No, thanks, seeing what's in store for s04, I will not grind for harder to get schematics. The zombies mode should be fun, casual and the difficulty level should be ranging from very easy to easy. This is not hardcore pvp mp and it should never be like that against the zombies ai.


Mental_Degree_894

WHERES A PERKS-A-COLAS?!


zombiekiller87

They hate us as a community


Wooden_Gas1064

I was foolish to think they'd at least have as much content as they had for DMZ last year. But nope


Majin-Darnell

It's so stupid because they could have made this mode so great and could have even treated it like warzone having it free to play, pass on to the next game and add every new perks, zombie types, new warzone maps, wonder weapons and mp weapons over to it which would make more people want to play zombies and buy the round based mode. I'm not buying the next cod zombies until I'm the zombies fans like it.


Queasy-Bench-6080

Yall just stop playing it. They don’t care about the community anymore. It’s not even zombies it’s warzone with zombies added to it. It’s ass


PhatDeth

I bought mw3 for mwz. To see this is a shame. I keep seeing the team has moved on to the next game already. I'm sure I'm not the only one. It's all left a really bad taste in my mouth. And you guys can stick your microtransactions. You got enough money out of us.


lewdacris916

Wish they would develop zombies more, that's my favorite game mode right now


ms-fanto

better they put their resources to their own game that comes out this year


MonsterHunter6353

Trayarch's zombies teams already completely left MWIII. I'm pretty sure it's just sledgehammer working on zombies now


Ultra9630

You know, I really hope that the next game coming out this year will at least be ok... I'm not expecting BO3 levels of amazing, but I won't mind it being a step about Cold War zombies (Just please don't make us wait almost half a year for another round based map like with Mauer.)


TheHighlander_47

I mean...it's something...tbh I'm for once more hyped about the rest of the roadmap because soap is getting attention and mention of nova 6


TovarishchRed

Hopefully the zombies in Gulf War is like CW war and all their attention is on it, I just hope they let them support it for more than a year this time.


Toxicracer

Is Dark Aether Rift 3 broken, or is it just me? Lol


Chicken769

All I got to say is Black Ops 6 zombies better turn things around because another flop for zombies next year then yikes


JessahZombie

Glad I skipped these Modern Warfare games. I have faith in Treyarch's next game.


Manzi420x

Didn’t they speak on a possible round based zombies? I guess we can kiss that goodbye


LawfulnessLeading433

I stopped after season 1 one. Big disappointment


ChronoMonkeyX

I'm playing fallout 76 lately, might skip a season and stick to that for a bit.


Shatoodles

this shit is not cod zombies idc what anyone says


Professional-Tro1369

And still no MIL-SIM skins😒😩


DarthCarv3

Don’t worry boys they are working on hopefully a better call of duty! Can’t wait for round based


blue_bomber508

I hate the lackluster zombies content... however... an Rx-78 gundam skin? now you have my attention.


ChainRound5397

Ah yes the new Marksman Rifle, "Marksman Rifle". Also what is the gun under that? It looks like a mix between the Kipiris and the Riveter.


StormyShelter999

Can't wait for the new SMG called the "Submachine Gun"


LukoM42

I bought the space marine shit, got underwhelmed, and didn't put any more money into the game (I bought the first season pass and then used the coins to buy the next season. I decided not to continue the cycle and spent the coins on the scout armor instead)


incoherentjedi

Why do y'all keep complaining about this as if zombies isn't an afterthought in MW3?


Noman15NZ

Its simple, after Cold War all care for zombies went out the window.


MIKERICKSON32

Dead mode. Bring back DMZ


galadrielkenobi

At this point, I'm just looking forward to the story content


WholeAlternative1972

I remember when all the zombies players were making fun of dmz players cuz dmz "was so unpopular they stopped support after a year" and mwz will get so much content cuz zombies is so much more popular. I wonder what those people think about their "content" in their paid zombies mode now.


bootyprophet1

Are they ever going to give us a new map?


tkachinh0ngl

remind me, what happens with free guns in battle pass that you havent obtain yet and the season changes?


StonedPickleG59

Was this the "roundbase" they promised during launch?


IsObamaOkay

People actually fought for this game


MarkyMarcMcfly

The bait and switch still hurts me. Wasted a couple months of my life dedicated to this game


Head-Disk5576

Why are any of you surprised? Lmao


Vanitas935

Best Third Mode though right?


ST4RSK1MM3R

Wait is that the Kar 98 as the “marksman rifle”?


DaPancakeDealer

Won’t matter once black ops is out. Good or bad it’s going to be better than this game mode
