For purists, the option exists to turn them off for a return to classic action.
They add new strategies to maps, and will change the way you played through your old favourites. The Gobblegums offer single-shot perks, supplementing Perk-A-Cola’s longer effects. It’s all been given a dash of modernity through Black Ops 3’s systems. Beyond that aesthetic change, everything about the map – and indeed the others – feels more alive and vibrant. I think we can safely excuse realism for a moment. Some fans may decry their removal as destroying historical accuracy – but it’s a game about killing zombies. The abandoned, destroyed theatre has had its Swastikas removed, replaced instead with golden statues and appropriate decorative panels. Of course, perpetual favourite Kino der Toten (my favourite map, personally) has been given a loving overhaul. There are smaller, more manageable maps – like the one that started it all, Nacht Der Untoten, as well as more expansive story-centric ones like Ascension and Moon, which require distinct co-operation and strategies to overcome. For narrative (and probably licencing) issues, some fan favourites like Call of the dead, Tranzit and Mob of the Dead didn’t make the cut – but those that are in are a delight to revisit.
Black ops 3 zombie chronicles series#
Every undead groan,Ĭhronicles has a strong selection of maps drawing from the series well. With the move to Black Ops 3 as a base, there’s a stark improvement in lighting, and the addition of superlative atmospheric audio to double up on Zombies’ inherent feeling of tension. There’s more to it than just increased textures and art assets. It’d be easy to call it a cynical cash-grab that’s intent on preying on fan nostalgia – but there’s so much love poured into this recreated maps from World at War through to Black Ops 2, all lovingly recreated. You could try to do this all alone, or team up with friends online or off for a frenzied, fun co-operative experience. Killing zombies earn you points that you’ll use to buy improved guns and special perks, and open doors leading to new areas with endless waves of undead enemies. Some maps have their own goals, but the impetus really is on staying alive as the undead hordes increase in magnitude and ferocity.
For newcomers, seeing how it all started will be a delight, while those more acquainted with the third pillar of Call of Duty’s popularity will delight in re-experiencing old favourites.Īs a reminder, Zombies is a four-player cooperative mode that pits players against waves of the undead, with the ultimate goal of trying to survive as long as possible. Zombies fans old and new are likely to get a kick out of Chronicles. Zombie Chronicles is a (as the name implies) Zombies focused expansion that brings a collection of maps from the previous Black Ops series of games to the latest one. Treyarch’s started it all – and with the newest DLC for their now two-year-old Black Ops III, they’re bringing it home. So much so, that its enduring template has been used by other Call of Duty studios. Since then, Treyarch’s Zombies has become one of the key pillars of the world’s most popular and best-selling shooter. When Call of Duty: World at War was released with a post-game Zombies campaign, it was derided by many as being an unfit addition to a serious game.
