Here is a list of every Call of Duty Zombies game in order of release. Not every Call of Duty title features a Zombies mode, but the ones that do are absolutely historic. which is good, because the rest of the game kind of sucks.Call of Duty Zombies has been a staple, not only within the Call of Duty community, but the gaming community as a whole. Black Ops Cold War is worth it just for its Zombies mode. Treyarch then iterated upon it time and time again, adding more and more in subsequent seasons, and turning it into one of the best evolutions to the formula since the mode was introduced – fantastically designed, fun, and full of love. Then Season 2 happened, bringing Outbreak into the fold, and turning the game from maybe sitting around number 5 on this list, to number 1. There's no denying it: the game has some of the best maps in CoD history, with Die Maschine and Firebase Z absolutely stealing the show. It's a surprise to put anything from Black Ops Cold War at the top of a list. We will never forget sitting down and playing split-screen on our Xbox 360. It is one of, if not the, most nostalgic entries in the series. This bad-boy is a classic, and a very personal choice for us. Even if that's for no other reason than Kino Der Toten being an absolutely incredible map. The first Black Ops had the best Zombies mode in the franchise for basically a decade. The mode not only began the CoD Zombies tradition, but also inspired tons of other modes and games in its own right – think Horde in Gears of War or Firefight in Halo! The maps are still super fun to this day, regularly remade for other games, and whilst not as sophisticated as modern Zombies modes, it's still a masterclass in game design! | © Activision 2. The original Zombies mode was a revolution in game design. The experience was deep, had tons of fantastic content, and was the perfect adaptation of the still-evolving formula. TranZit and Die Rise were pretty bad, let's be real – but Mob of the Dead and Origins are two of the best maps in CoD Zombies history. When Black Ops II dropped in 2012, there was a lot to love. Now, we're probably going to have our jugulars ripped from our throats for being so wishy-washy on this particular entry, but we don't really give a pair of sweaty, sweaty bollocks about Black Ops III – it was okay, and only okay. In typical Black Ops III style, though, its Zombies mode was kind-of okay. Black Ops III might not have had the most fantastic. Black Ops IIIįrom this point in the list, everything is at least good. Advanced Warfare introduced a lot of verticality to the entire Call of Duty experience, and this definitely added a lot to the experience, but not enough to make up for the terrible map design. The reason we put it above World War 2 is simply because it tried to do something new. We might cop some bollocks for putting this above World War 2, but let's be real, they are both pretty bad modes. It really does seem that Sledgehammer's titles are deteriorating in quality each and every release. You can describe every Zombies mode like that, though, and this one had exactly the same issue that Call of Duty: World War 2 had: nothing new to offer. As usual, World War 2's Zombies was polished, tactile, and fun. Whilst we had our problems with Advanced Warfare (keep reading!), at least it was inventive. The second attempt that Sledgehammer Games made at a Zombies mode was the very definition of boring. The problem is: it just wasn't very good. It was fun – but all Zombies modes are fun (except for Vanguard's) – and was certainly trying to do something different. Now, the cringily-named ‘Zombies in Spaceland’ mode consisted of a large sci-fi-themed amusement park, with the usual tropes. We have to give Infinity Ward credit before we tear them a new one, this was their first attempt at a Zombies mode. Do we like personality? Hell yes! The best thing you can really say about BOIV's Zombies is that "it's not Call of Duty: Vanguard". They streamlined features, and the whole thing felt polished – but stiff, with no personality whatsoever. Some people loved the two storylines in Black Ops IV's Zombies Mode, but we didn't. Instead, we get hub maps with portals that teleport us to little challenges. That's exactly what we don't get in Vanguard. Those who play the Zombies mode in Call of Duty want turn-based maps with cool Easter Eggs, wall-buys, and areas that have to be unlocked one after another. Unfortunately, this is one trash game mode and its couple of insanely minimum updates have done little to fix it Season-to-Season. Yes, although the Zombies mode in Vanguard was also developed by Treyarch, who actually know what it's about.
