While it started off VERY strong, Black Ops 6 has been one of the most confusing games I have ever played. And even though there is a lot to love about Modern Zombies, I'd say right now more than ever I am immensely frustrated.
While in my most recent review of Shattered Veil, where we discussed how great the map is, I can't help but feel like something is missing from the overall zeitgeist of COD Zombies as a whole. And so in this podcast @Doughnuts and @AfterlifeAnalysis discuss what Treyarch ought to do in order to level up the franchise by mixing classic, modern, and even new elements into the mode to hopefully rejuvenate this amazing game mode. ____________________________________

Do The Modern Systems Really Hold Back Black Ops 6 Zombies?
It has been 6.5 years since Black Ops 4 Zombies released so I thought it would be great if we reminisced and went through a crash out Reddit thread on the CODZ reddit.

With the release of Shattered Veil the community seems in good spirits - but there is no such thing as a perfect map, so today we are going to talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly of the Shattered Veil - as well as BO6 Zombies as a whole! Hope you enjoy!

No one can deny the success of BO6 Zombies at launch but the depth that many old-school fans crave has seemingly been not met by Treyarch. While the mode is very fun and has great gameplay - there seems to be something missing. The question ultimately becomes... should Treyarch go "backward" to emulate classic zombies or move forward and focus on what this current dev team specializes in?Guest: @Jrrizzo and if you are into it, why not subscribe ;) Timestamps:0:00 Introduction0:17 What Happened to COD's Art Direction?5:19 Transition from Classic to Modern Zombies17:36 Turning on BO6 Zombies?22:27 The AI Problem27:13 Rizzo's YouTube Experience28:44 Back to AI & Art Direction33:45 Back To Rizzo's YT Journey38:18 WW2 Zombies54:19 BO6Z's Redemption Arc1:28:41 The Future of Zombies Content Creators1:38:00 Wrap-Up Questions1:46:36 Lightning Round____________________________________Content LinksMain Channel: @AfterlifeAnalysis Podcast YT: @Afterlife_Podcast Spotify Link: tinyurl.com/mrxvkax6Apple Podcast Link: tinyurl.com/3d53wfzx____________________________________A Serious Conversation About *The Future* of Call Of Duty Zombies#CallofDuty #Zombies #afterlife
Treyarch has shifted Zombies gameplay systems from in-map to in-menu and while this change works in some regards, for the most part it takes away what makes zombies special... in-map depth.
But what do you think? Will Treyarch ever go back to this classic strategy?

Has the live service aspect of Call of Duty permeated into Zombies and "ruined" it? Let's discuss! There is clearly both pros and cons to the system and while COD has always been live service in some way, the exponential ramp up in recent years, has truly changed the franchise!
But is it for better or worse!? Let us know in the comments below! And if you are into it, why not subscribe ;)

With the release of The Tomb, it sounded wise to go back to basics about what makes COD Zombies tick - so @whitecliffgames and @AfterlifeAnalysis got together to talk about whether or not the mode is straying from its roots to far and alienating the playerbase.

In this video we discuss the absolute beauty and potential that The Tomb (the new upcoming zombies map) has and whether or not it can live up to that hype! Because while things look amazing on the surface, there are some concerns to have regarding the gameplay mechanics that pair with the zombies narrative design. ____________________________________ Content Links Main Channel: @AfterlifeAnalysis Second Channel: @thebit69 Twitch Channel: twitch.tv/skeptixlive ____________________________________ Podcast Links Podcast YT: @AfterLiveAnalysis Spotify Link: tinyurl.com/mrxvkax6 Apple Podcast Link: tinyurl.com/3d53wfzx

Black Ops 6 Zombies has been through a lot the last few months! 🧟🔫 With lots of great content drops, a lot of launch content to sift through, and a ton of great times inside of the zombies community. But the game is not without it's problems specifically when it comes to the AI controversy regarding bundles in the shop and the voice actors from the COD Zombies franchise. We have a lot to talk about let's dive in! And if you are into it, why not subscribe ;) Afterlife Podcast Episode 12 ft. Mr L
In this podcast MZC3 and I discuss the leaks and rumors surrounding Treyarch's next Zombies Experience Citadelle des Morts! Can they continue the momentum? Will it live up to the hype?
Black Ops 6 Zombies has hit the ground running and shows NO signs of stopping! It's quite incredible; and that is exactly what my good friend Joltz and I talk about. From high rounds, difficulty, easter eggs, Treyarch, and the future of mode... the depth and plethora of content is overwhelming!
IGN Reviews Black Ops 6 Zombies from a SUPER casual perspective.
It's quite interesting to hear how someone who likes zombies thinks about it from a much more lukewarm perspective. I do my best to be cordial but as always, I throw a couple punches to keep things lively! 😉
Black Ops 6 Zombies has launched to the public and the reception has been WILD! Stanley557 and I dig deep on what and why we are feeling the way we are but so far things are looking positive! It's a great time to be a COD Zombies fan!
The countdown to BO6 Zombies has begun as we are only a few short days away from Black Ops 6 Zombies' launch! Things are electric in the zombies community and passions are high! So I brought in iconic zombies content creator GregFPS to discuss a variety of zombies topics from BO6 Easter Eggs, to augments, to prestige, and even the Liberty Falls glow up!

Black Ops 6 Zombies is less than two weeks away and Treyarch is doing everything they can to ensure a successful launch. And while they may be listening to the community feedback and updating Liberty Falls, what about Terminus Island? What about DLC 1? What about the over arching status of the game? What can we expect from this new Kevin Drew Era? Well I brought in a COD Zombies Legend to break it all down with me!

The COD Zombies community is the most split it has ever been in the history of our mode. Fans are literally posting on social media about harming one another and the vitriol is out of control! Why is this happening? What can we do about it? Is the anger justified? I don't think so but there is a lot to discuss which is why I brought on @NovaV.2 to talk about it!

Also sorry guys for clearing my throat - I talk in meetings all day, it dries my throat out. I didn't mean to keep it in, I am so busy with work that I forgot to edit it out. I know it's annoying I hate it just as much as you.
