You know your a veteran when everything about this place feels very nostalgic. It's good to see a lot of the same folks I slayed with, worked behind the scenes with and even became friends with are still kicking and even running the show. And speaking of which, a big nod to seeing PDT was dusted off! I miss you guys!

The real problem for me is that the maps are too quest oriented. Tranzit could have been an amazing map, they focused too much on restricting us that it made the map, at least in my opinion, terrible. The fog coupled with lava and the denizens were just too much. They tried to go too big and it went wrong. On top of that, with Shadows of Evil we have elements inspired from the Cthulhu Mythos. Like what @NaBrZHunter has in his signature, these elements that they are bringing to zombies really takes it away from what made the older maps great. However, by no means am I throwing Black Ops 3's zombies into the dirt. Yes there are elements they use that I dislike, but that is what an opinion is. I'm just disappointed that they keep trying to make the maps more and more complicated, that they lose sight of what made zombies so great in the first place. The feeling the old maps had and the survival aspect was always the thing that drew me to zombies. More doesn't always equal better. It's really good to see people's different opinions.

Naw, man, I wouldn't malign you. Don't take it that way. No offense intended. Your easygoing-ness works out well for you, and we're a bit disappointed, that's all. We can leave it at that. :) @anonymous good way of putting it. Hey, back in the day there wasn't a whole lot about the Easter eggs that pulled the players in in terms of benefit. So it was more casual. You start the game, run for the box or your favorite wall weapon, grab some Jugg, and then maybe vary your gameplay from there. Around round 10, 15, hey, maybe we'll do the Easter Egg to have more to do. But it wasn't any of this stuff where zombie slaying is almost offhanded. We start the game and everyone starts rushing to get the EE started. It gets nearly impossibly to play without a mic! I always prefer a mic, but there were some nights I was just too tired to talk, and we managed to communicate by supporting each other and being aware of the others' needs for the sake of the whole team.

I'm with you for the most part, and I heartily agree that BO1/WAW was the golden age. Did you see my similar rant? It's in my signature it you're interested. The thing that I really hate is gameplay-EE forced tie-ins. Back when it was an all-perks reward and actually worth it (as in, it was the only way to really get all perks), that kinda benefit made sense. But the whole tying-in EE steps to the arsenal (staves, swords, pack-a-punch access, bows) is frustrating to me. Zombies was cooler when the story was more...subtle. Now you can't get away from it (not that I ever want to, but some others do, and it was better when the EE was actually a hidden EE and not a 'do the EE if you want the best weapons' thing.) And wonder weapons these days are SO irritating. Those freaking bows. It annoys me to no end to watch people stand around in a corner and fire one charged shot at a time, out of 75 rounds, slaughtering zombies at a rate that makes it more like a screen saver than a game. OP'd WWs like the thunder gun was where it was at. OP, but limited ammo. Hell, what was the Thundergun at? 25 shots? That would last you 7-8 rounds without a max ammo with only, like I said 20-odd rounds! -_- the idea of what a wonder weapon was seems to be gone now. @Nightmare Voyager don't be an ass about it, man. Those of us who preferred the simpler ways would like to see some new content the way we like it. Good for you, it fits what you wanted perfectly. Some of us are less satisfied, and being zombies fans just as loyal as you, spending as much (I'll wager I've spent more) as you on the games, we are entitled to the right to voice our preferences. They aren't unreasonable.

I think it's because we haven't been exposed to the new stuff long enough. The atrocity that was Black Ops 2 is still in the back of our minds.
