Mob of the Dead and Origins set the blueprint for what Zombies would become. But, in between them, there was one more map that released for Black Ops 2. Instead of looking forward like its neighbours, Buried instead took a look back at everything that made Zombies great up until now.
"A Zombies Retrospective" is a series in which I play through each Call of Duty Treyarch Zombies map chronologically, and analyze its place in the series.

Listen guys, the War Machine can be a Wonder Weapon if you think about it. For example, I WONDER how I got the absolute worst box luck and pulled the worst gun in the game when I was getting that footage!
Not every map can have this level of investment or players will get tired
*Black ops 3 and black ops 4 are laughing in the corner*
I was quite upset every map for those games was a blundell style map. No I don't really count zombie Chronicles and revelations. It's rehashed stuff.
Understandable, but the war machine wasn't the worst gun. The SMR is and always will be the worst.
@@theoneaboveall9930 the Springfield is the worst in the entire series lol.
@@theoneaboveall9930 Yo deadass who tf NERFED the balls off the SMR going from multi-player to Zombies mode? He needs a swift kick in the balls. The SMR was viable on Multi-player due to the lack of recoil and attachments leveling the playing field. Zombies the thing takes 4 hits to kill 1 zombie on round 2.
@@thatonetyeguy2330 i mean the smr was a literal troll. It got worse when double packed. One of the best weapons in multiplayer and yet one of the worst in zombies. They knew what they were doing.
Buried always seemed like the most creative map to me
Buried was meant to be the end of the story. Origins was meant to start a whole new story entirely, but many original writers left. Treyarch decided to connect the story lines later on, and that's why it seems so awkward at times.
@@sillygoosexv6778 Looking back, the Ending of Zombies being Maxis or Richtofen destroying the world feels a little unsatisfying. I'm glad they continued the story the way they did.
@@frankkennedy6388 only to give us an equally unsatisfying ending later on.
@@frankkennedy6388 Richthofen winning should’ve been the canon ending and he just rebuilds reality
@@WastedPotentiaI1 I didn't mind it. I see why people don't like it. I don't think it's a bad ending; it's just different. The bad part was it wasn't a 3D rendered cutscene.
I don’t care what his canonical name is, all the homies love Leroy 😤
The achievements also call him Huckleberry.
@@gamermanzeakeSomeone ain’t never seen Tombstone
They basically took what players had loved about zombies up until that point, camping with friends, doing wacky strategies, the horrors of all of you navigating the witches mansion, and just plain fun.
I rly wish they didn’t abandon this style so much, bo3 had some easier less complicated maps but there wasn’t much special about them (I don’t know much about bo4s design as I didn’t play it as much) and Cold War rly could have benefited from having some simpler maps, I think the rumoured nacht remake would have made its zombies experience feel much more complete (tho I also didn’t play 3rd map much and didn’t play the 4th at all, another obvious problem was how much resources went into outbreak which wasn’t that fun)
@@speedyfunzalaz You should really give the 3rd and 4th map for Cold War a chance I played through the 4th and 1st one’s and beat the Easter Egg’s but, with that being said I haven’t beaten the other’s though I’ve been trying to go back to older Cod Zombies and try my hand a older EE’s to give myself a challenge but, haven’t had any luck in beating them most of the time’s I’ll mess up doing something stupid of mess up a step and I consider myself an above average zombies player the closest one I got was Radioactive Thing without any Fate and Fortune card’s playing on solo. Blood of the Dead I was playing on solo doing the Morse Code step. The 3rd on was on Classified we’re I got to round 50 and gave up because I wasn’t going to waste my time getting to round 150 when I could have been playing other games at the time with my friend’s. I did beat The Giant on BO3 just not really an Easter Egg Guy I guess.
@@TheExtraordinarySaiyan0709 I would have played them more but the huge spaces between the map releases led to me losing interest by the time the 3rd map came out, I’ll try them some more some day but it’s just a huge hassle to download Cold War again
@@speedyfunzalaz Yea especially if you don’t got a External Hard drive Call of Duty can eat up space even the newer one’s…
@@TheExtraordinarySaiyan0709 fr, and I unfortunately like playing mw19 so that shit takes up most of my space, I did get the Cold War cross gen bundle tho so if I ever get a ps5 I’m def gonna try it out again
It seems like a good way to encourage players to attempt the super Easter egg too. If the setup isn’t long, and it’s not hard to become overpowered, you’ll seek out another challenge. So, you’ll go play the older, more challenging, less popular maps, with the promise of a really fun challenge and reward on the new map.
Also, Revelations is basically the same idea. Except Rev isn’t nearly as creative in the ways it is “easy” or empowering. Buried tries new things and innovates to achieve its goal while Rev is explicitly a re-tread unfortunately
This is an amazing point! Obviously they had the idea from the start since the Nav Cards were always in the game, but it worked out perfectly to convince people to give those other maps a chance by promising them something on the new one, love this point!!
I literally did this haha
Growing up, My Dad and I would play Origins for a Challenge, and Buried for some relaxation after work.
Such nostalgia.
W Dad
My dad went to get milk
I actually love that sounds like a good night
@@keepingitfresh7104 did he come back?

2:37 "Like a wonder weapon on round 1"
*Gets a war machine*
I don't know if it's just me, but I swear the mystery box on Buried has better odds of giving you a "good" weapon even beyond the wonder weapons.
Pulling a Type 25 or War Machine feels way less common than pulling dual Five Sevens or a HAMR. And there's the perma-perk that disables Teddy Bears and increases the chance for better weapons on top of that.
One of the perma-perks was a teddy bear on top of the box. After a few "bad" guns in a row, you get the teddy bear, and you'll get a bunch of good guns for awhile. I think they had perma-Jug, and maybe perma-speed cola as well iirc. They werent quite as good as the perks themselves, but really helped with the sense of feeling overpowered
@@woofspider330 I mentioned that at the end of my comment. But both with and without that perk it seems like the box on Buried has better luck.
I have a distinct memory of acquiring that perk on Die Rise and then my next spin giving me an RPG, meanwhile on Buried it's like "bad" weapons are taken out entirely with it active.
Almost like the box luck with that perk active on other maps is the default luck on Buried, and then the having the perk on Buried pushes it even further or something.
Not to mention that it is literally almost impossible NOT to get the Raygun Mk. 2.
Although I do understand that devs may have increased its spawn chance exponentially as the gun was one of the DLC’s main attraction features.
@@MocchiMoshi The Mark II is much more common on Buried than on any other map, yes
@@ClonedGamer001 and the only map all characters can get it
Moon and Buried really solidify Jimmy as my favourite zombies director cause he was experimenting like crazy
I miss Jimmy's style of zombies.
Back when zombies was zombies
Jason's style has never managed to sit with me with all the ridiculous mini bosses and the weird zombie variants, and the story telling.
And now modern zombies aww... I can't even look at gameplay that's in cold war or Vanguard it's that bad..
Blundell makes mob and everyone and their dog cums in their pants, I never appreciated blundell because he ended "nazi zombies" as we know it.
@@BarrySmoother yeah bo4 was the start of zombies being bad (not everything about bo4 zombies was bad but most of the maps were bad)
@@BarrySmoother yeah legit moon for me is the peak
Honestly bo2 had signs of a decline
🦴🦴🍆🍆
This is seriously an amazing analysis. I mean, really, people don't know how intricate Zombies features need to be to be fun.
I just wanted to comment on what you mentioned about the Time Bomb being not utilized beyond messing with people: I distinctly remember the Time Bomb being one of the most clutch ways to revive everyone. On top of that, best way to get all the perks as you could effectively get 2 perks for free from the Witch due to how time manipulation + the drops worked.
Yea, dropped powerups didn't disappear when you went back in time so you placed a bomb before killing the last witch killed her go back in time and killed her again for a double up. Very neat.
Maybe saw time bombs used for revives a couple of times, hundreds of times for extra perk from witches but thousands of times for trolling.
Used to be every few games someone would throw one down when you went to pack and as soon as u get back with your new weapons time bomb back so u have to do witches and get back again.
I've used it *so much* as a checkpoint, every time I got a max ammo I'd toss one down and if anyone got downed and lost their perks, I'd hit it and bam, all perks returned with zero money spent or rounds doing witches over and over for the extra perks.
@@AgentBacalhau this was also an amazing use for it
Not to mention duplicating money
It was horrifying enough as A kid. I was scared shitless thanks to the witches.
Never played COD when I was younger but I vividly remember being obsessed with the zombies youtube scene. Everytime I saw gameplay of the witch house in buried it would scare the shit out of me and I would wonder if I would ever have the courage to play the map for myself.
Went through the same thing with my friend at launch, we saw the witches in the windows and avoided it on the first couple of runs
Buried and Die Rise slap like none other. Genuinely make being OP feel fun as hell
I love Die Rise. I feel like people just don't like it because you can't train every where on the map lol.
@@irshman1845 there's like 4 training spots i can think of. People gotta stop overhating Die Rise. They complain about the verticality and slipping off the map, but if you play enough, that becomes a lot less of an issue. Some people don't use the Sliquifier just cause their gonna fall off the map. That's really just using it at the wrong place, at the wrong time.
I think it was patched but i remember when everyone could get a Sliquifier; it only cost a few downs.
Finally someone else who likes Die Rise!
YESSS SHOUTOUT TO DIE RISE
Insanely boring far too easy
2:36 "something even better... like a wonder weapon 😏" *gets war machine*
So amazing to see a guy going from just a few subs to way over 10k and still being himself. I’m glad I stuck by.
Your comments have always been genuinely so encouraging, thanks for sticking around I really appreciate it!
The map is so sweet
For me, Paralyzer is what Jet Gun was supposed to be, but following the playerbase feedback
But never have thought of the setting as goofy, well, I took many things at face value so no surprise.
Also a mention about how the ghost works, when she steals all your points and when you have 0 points the ghost begin to do damage to you which since they are in groups, they can overwhelm you.
Those things always scared the bajeezus outta me. They still do actually. To this day I still hesitate to venture into the mansion. lol
This is such an amazing video! Thank you for taking the time to make this for all of us. I appreciate you.
buried was my favorite map. played it so much. there was also a spot you could fly up onto with the paralyzer and not buy the door behind you. all the zombies would come from one direction infront of you. then just tapping the paralyzer it wouldn't over heat. I made it to round 68 before I got too bored and quit lol
Inside the courthouse?
@@chinchin3274 no infront of the bank, kiddy corner from the sheriff's office
I don’t know if you create these videos entirely yourself meaning what you have to say is original or whether you read off some summary of the map, but what you have to say is always so carefully crafted and well spoken.
This channel best highlights the key pros & cons of a map and how it relates to Treyarch’s overall development.
Each video is well thought out and I have to say, I’m impressed with the successful chronological development made in each video with respect to the maps features.
BO2 zombies in general was just a time to be alive, once in a lifetime gaming for sure.
I just wanted to say I binged your whole channel the other day and I've been waiting for this one. Super excited to see more of these from you!
i second that. we're catching up to you like a herd 🧟♂️ vids are 🎉👏🏾
thank you so much for this series. opened my eyes to so much even after playing zombies since i was a kid. seriously such great content
Fantastic video. Such a great recap of the map and made me realize a few things about it that I never thought of. Also learned a few new things as well which is crazy to me considering I've played the map dozens if not hundreds of times. Keep up the great work my man!
just binge watched all the ones you've released, some damn good content, can’t wait for my favorite map’s video in origins
“You can spin the box and get something even better like a wonder weapon on round 1!”
2 seconds later - ahhh yes, the warmachine
Not to mention it had Jug, upstairs in the saloon, the front ledge of the bank, and pack a punch which would have all been the best camping spots on most maps, especially in contrast to the map that came out after it which had nowhere to hide
Dude I'm so glad I found your channel, keep it up man you've got your own lane and you're killing it!
YES! A little late to the party but its finally here. You totally hit it on the head with this video, Buried being such a versatile map is what truly makes it my favorite. Another great video, can't wait to see what's next
I remember my friends always wondered how I'd never get lost in the maze. Now that I'm older, it may have been because of my asbergers
I came across your channel yesterday and I’ve already watched every one of your zombies retrospectives. I love your content please keep making these they are extremely helpful to me because I’ve been recently getting into zombies so thank you🙏
Dude you explain everything so perfectly I’d love to see a fully storyline breakdown from you cuz it would be a lot better than these other ones just going thru the motions
This is my favorite map of all time, I'm so happy you're covering it
Fantastic video as always!!!! Keep it up
Real intriguing analysis! you’d never think to see analysis vids as everyone’s doing too 10 maps and speed run videos so it’s so refreshing and fun to come across a genuine analysis video on cod zombies
"So you can spin to get something better like a wonder weapon on round 1"
*Gets War Machine*
lol
Honey, it's time to watch a new White Cliff zombies map analysis
Been waiting to hear your take on this one for a while! Super excited to watch!
It was always cool to see what other groups called the big guy-- our group called him Lenny
Bro I have been anticipating this so much, I love this series+ buried is one of my favorite maps
your vids have been my inner 13yr old's bedtime stories lately lmao thanks for the nostalgia trips, you always hit the nail on the head. keep up the content WCG
Arthur picking up a crawler is so adorable. it's like a little angry cat
Incredible work once again. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the rest of the series!
beautiful video essay! love this
There is no better feeling than seeing you post a new video
One thing I really look forward to in your vids is which part you'll choose to play from the EE song, and to see how early I can hear it.
Great content.
"a wonder weapon from the box on round one"
*gets grenade launcher*
made me giggle 😂
Learn't how to play Zombies on this map, then played Mob of the Dead and Origins and was hooked.
Love your videos i was waiting for this one, keep it up.
I think you summarized this so well and gave appreciation to the thing me and my friends would stay up late doing :D
Man you’re one of the best new zombies channels!
Bro really said "you may not like it but this is peak zombies" and I couldn't agree more (outside of Origins and Mob ofc bc imo those are like.. a holy trinity of "these are absolutely perfect")
"you could get a wonder weapon on round one" *gets war machine*
fucking love that
Me and my cousin played this on release day and figured out all but the last couple steps of the Richtofen EE on our own without any guide videos...
Good times.
Ahhh, a new video from you is like a breath of fresh air. Please keep it up 🙌
buried was always my favourite zombies map. I spent a ton of time playing it splitscreen with my brothers. good times
I think a true amazing challenge that didn’t get mentioned in the video was an achievement for pack a punching on round 1 without using the bank. Utilizing your map knowledge on all the best angles to send Arthur to get the most distance ran for the barrier points, because if you screwed up you have to buy more alcohol which could jeopardize your chances of completing it, also to know where all the chalk drawings are to claim all the bonus points given from those. And finally to test your reflexes in the witch mansion. Do you go with a cheap weak weapon to save on points if you get hit a few to many times to get the pap or buy a powerful weapon which can kill the witches much easier but you leave yourself with almost no opportunity to get hit and then have not enough points to pap. Such an amazing concept that feels fun and satisfying
The only thing I've found close to Arthur picking up a zombie to make doing Easter eggs easier is in Cold War Firebase Z. You could use the soul trap device thing that's part of the Easter egg to trap the last zombie without ending the round, thus giving you complete safety to smash through the Easter egg solo
there's also the trap plants from zetsubo no shima
@@reggilad_9043 Was gonna say, the crawler plants were very very useful not only in Easter egg solo runs but just for getting pack a punch going, building a shield or even just opening up the map further.
Arthur never had a name, but an achievement tied to him said "I'm your Huckleberry" so me and my friends always just called him Huckleberry.
In my heart, that's still his name.
this video is wonderful but i just wanted to say that buried wasn't the first instance of phd being back, it was back in motd with the grief mode where it had its perk machine
Wow, this video was a real revelation. I felt an ascension happen when I clicked play, like I was in transit to another world. It’s amazing how your content can light up my day like a full moon. Keep up the great work, it’s always an origin of inspiration for me!
I hope this comment doesnt get buried
Very nice video. Never played Buried map before. Looks like a ton of fun
that soundtrack that played when you ran through the maze always went so hard
you earned my sub with this video, i have never looked at buried this way, even tho its one of my favorites, great video!
This dude is the Summoning Salt of COD Zombies
This was such an awesome map and you hit me with so much nostalgia!!! Only thing you missed out however was the implementation of the bank system. When you talked about the time bombs the times my friends and I used them were to duplicate money to site in the bank or the east egg or like you said to mess with them. Lol
god i love these videos, keep going man
Great video. Can’t wait for your origins breakdown.
I dont know if it's the meth im on or what, but I have to say, these videos you're putting out are top quality. your flow is incredible, the way you talk about these maps makes me think you were a developer, i mean I feel like I'm listening to an 'A+ Olympus level' video essay. IDK what your life is like but I'll tell you this, you've got some serious fucking ability.
It amazes me that these memories were formed over a decade ago, I remember the day that I came home and bought the dlc for buried, me and my buddy Steven always played that map together, those memories I will cherish for a lifetime, it was an amazing experience back then to get a new zombies map, I was so deeply entranced with the story and lore at the time, I remember watching ngtzombies, rofflewaffles, and therelaxingend always staying up to date on new map finds
As always, this video was worth the wait.
I love how it’s been years since I’ve heard that Easter egg song n that little sample of it at the end just flooded me with memories n nostalgia of the the zombies soundtrack. Funny how you could still sing something word for word without hearing it for years if it’s something that you loved at the time.
I think the algorithm is really appericating you right now because you've been all over my feed. Well deserved. Cheers
This was my favorite map, played it RELIGIOUSLY. Still didn't know some of this stuff, I love it
One of my best friends and I met from playing Buried. Many many 18hr nights just fucking wrecking shit until the game crashed or we got so tired no one could stay awake.
Buried was always my fav. Never realized why. Ty
Fans: The witches horrified me as a kid! I had nightmares.
Me, a 25 year old man: Ye- yeah... only when I was a kid...
This legitimately is a great retrospective video on Buried
Congrats on getting picked up by the algorithm! Also, great video! Never played BO2 zombies but watching this made me think I should try it for once.
Cannot wait for the next installment of this series.
the lore of buried is also amazing.
Great video! Ready for your Origin analysis
One of my favorite maps… ashamed that I never completed the Easter egg on this map. Wish we had zombies like this now days.
Same. Makes me sad. I could never get anyone to play with me.
“You can spin to get something even better like a wonder weapon” box: war machine take it or leave it
Very good video essay. Can’twait for them to actually remaster all these maps
keep making videos like this and you’re gonna channel is going to grow like wild
I remember burried being one of my favorites because of how fun it is. I remember being a kid and whipping out a whole calculator so i could open the entire map and have a gun by round 1
It’s like you were playing a custom zombies map in bo2 honestly ahead of its time
“The Mystery Box is available right away without opening any doors, so you can spend to get something even better, like a wonder weapon, on round one!!”
- Proceeds to get Grenade Launcher
You’re doing a great job here. Keep going!
I love these videos bro, keep it up!
Map ain’t thematically scary until you get jumpscared every 5 rounds by a witch.
A lot of reasons why Buried is my all time fav zombies map
My friends and I would've loved this map if it had a way to get multiple Paralyzers, the fact that it was findable round one didn't help. Basically we raced to the box and as soon as anyone found it someone else would start to throw or try to get the guy who had found it to die, it was even more of an issue with randoms online.
I wish we had stuck to it now that I see all this map had to offer.
Your content is so good. I was never very into the "zombies" community very much. I played 5his mapbwhen i was mucb younger and thought it was bad and too hard. Its very funny to see this now and go "yeah i was just bad" keep up the good work!
Die rise and hurried we’re the two maps I first tried exploits on. The good ol liquifier in the elevator got me my first round 100 game and spamming the paralazor on top of the roof in the main area (across from the jail) we’re some of the most fun I had taking the piss out of the game XD sure I could play legit and I have gone back and gotten to round 100 on a handful of bo and bo2 maps but I miss that nostalgic feeling of seeing some zombies CZcamsr coming out with the easiest way to high rounds haha
I played Buried so much and all of BO2 zombies that even to this day I can read the signs in the tunnels for the EE
2:42 „You can spin it right away to get something better like a wonder weapon“
GETS WAR MACHINE HAHAHAHAHA
Dude, I remember when this map came out I got it first and my brother-in-law was staying with us and he had PlayStation so he had to watch a me play it and it was the best thing ever you’re making me want to go find black ops two and download this right now
I remember spending hours playing this map with my friends. One of my absolute favorite zombie maps
I had never heard of this map before, but now I'm really interested in going back and playing it for that casual fun aspect
