    What's good gamer! Welcome back to another video and if you're new here welcome to the family. Please feel free to look around and make yourself at home. There's CALL OF DUTY video after CALL OF DUTY video all around.
    ____________________________________
    About today's video:
    Its been a long time coming, but its finally here! In this video I explain the entire black ops zombies/call of duty zombies storyline from the beginning of time to Samantha Maxis getting her powers back at the end of mauer der toten in black ops cold war zombies. I say call of duty zombies and black ops because technically world at war isn't part of the black ops franchise. But world at war's zombies mode is part of the black ops zombies story. A lot of you might be coming from my cod zombies lore videos on tik tok.

It seems to me like Treyarch is hopping on the "let's make zombies wild, THEN force the story around the gameplay" wagon.

      @@juanfigueroa3348 You're right I miss the heyday of Zombies. Main goal was so simple.. survive. No primary objectives, no crazy bosses, just live. Loved it and played it countless and I mean countless times. As time passed it changed and so did the story. Kinda funny cause I wished for it to add some depth to the zombie game mode to give it an actual story and logic to the madness but with it birthed not just the story but the complexity of that story. Along with that came great characters, perks, new weapons, pack a punch (thank God for that) and many many more maps. I overall enjoy it and still is a great side game to the campaign and conventional multiplayer, just sometimes think they went overkill with making some of it so difficult to complete. I look forward to Vanguard, sort of like tracing back old roots from where it all began in a way but with a new twist considering the bosses and all. I guess time will tell with what we have in store ahead of us. As the old expression goes.. let the games begin.

Remakes all over the place i stopped buying cod because of how bland tthe story is now. If i play zombies i go back and play infinite warfare now because that story is bomb and you get directors cut and the super easter egg which is great. Also the art style is nice

    Revelations was the best way to cap off the zombies storyline at least for me b/c I have not played BO4 (yes I saw the ending in tag der toten) and revelations was the map I replayed the shit out of over the summer of 2017 and I got to prestige master twice (main account got perma banned by trolls) and I would always wake up in the morning get on fire up a solo game of rev and then when I got my set up. Perkaholic, pack a punched thunder gun and the apothican servant, Arnies and grav spikes. I would run around the map hit all 3 teddy bears and go sit in the power room in Verruckt and just prepare to be sitting there from morning until night just firing the apothican in the middle of the room so it would suck up the zombies and then pull my thunder gun or my pack a punched mule kick gun when the shadowman decided to throw a margwa or Panzer in my face. Ah good times and this song made it even better and I never got tired of hearing it. Elenas voice is just god tier and very soothing. Zombies holds a special place in my heart b/c back when my friend and I finished the world at war co op campaign (my friend had already beaten it solo but he didn’t tell me until after the last mission) but anyways he told me that if we skip the credits we are gonna be thrown into a bonus mode and then when we spawned in Nacht. I remember asking my friend ok so where are the enemies do we have to clear this building out? And then I heard a moan and my friend told me to go find the source of the moaning and I had my first ever encounter w/ a zombie tearing down one of the wooden barriers (I knew what a zombie was thx to dead rising) and I remember being scared shitless that I ended up getting downed so I ended the game and did not touch zombies until BO1 came out. I then made some friends that wanted to play Kino and I slowly got used to zombies and then when moon came out. I loved the story and was starting to catch up on the current lore at the time then B02 came out and more lore and then BO3 and I remember I was playing Zetsubou w/ my best friend and he was like holy shit bro. You went from being scared of zombies to a badass zombie slayer that always takes the big risks (examples are taking a huge train of zombies in a small area, soloing Easter eggs b/c I did rev, DE and Zetsubous EEs solo after I did it w/ ppl and hell I would solo the rev and Zetsubou ees for my friends in co op as well) but yeah zombies has always cheered me up and I’m glad that I gave it a Second chance those many many years ago.

      To me tag was actually the best end for zombies. The only way to stop the cycle of pain and suffering was to ensure the ones responsible for the paradox (primis and ultimis) aren't a live to keep the cycle going. Not everyone gets the happy ending but at least the old crew did accomplish their goal. The children grew up in a world free from the undead free from the Aether's corruption. They faced the horrors of the dark aether as adults who unknowingly were living up to their predecessors by protecting their new home

Sprinkle in some hidden audio recordings and let players tie it all together. With some cross-references between maps.

    The Aether zombies story line is honestly one of the coolest video game stories aesthetically. The issue I have with it is it feels like they tried too hard to tie gameplay elements into the story. It feels like a cop out when the explanation for literally everything is inter dimensional demons and time travel.

      I'll help you here
      So to understand before I explain, I'll explain which locations are from which game
      World at Waw: The only storyline map was Der Reise
      Black ops 1: Kino Der Toten, Ascension, Call of the dead, Shangri-la and Moon
      Black ops 2: Nuketown Zombies, Tranzit, Die Rise, Mob of the dead, Buried and Origins
      Black ops 3: Shadows of evil, Der Eisendrache, Zetsubo No Shima, Gorod Krovi and Revelations
      Black ops 4: Blood of the dead, Alpha Omega and Tag der Toten
      And then of course the cold war maps
      So the early stuff with the apothicans and keepers are from Black ops 3.
      Most of the stuff involving ultimus happen in world at war and black ops 1
      Nuketown (bo2) and Moon (bo1) happen simultaneously
      Then victus group, aside from being waken by Nikolai from being frozen, their whole story happens in Black ops 2, being woke up in black ops 4.
      The documented region discovering 115 and opening the gateway to agartha all happen in the final map of black ops 2.
      Primus taking the souls of themselves all happens in Black ops 3
      The battle on agartha against the apothicans and the paradox happen on the final map of black ops 3 Revelations
      Then the confusing stuff with Primus and Ultimus joining forces and Nikolai destroying the summoning key leaving just one universe, that all happens in Black ops 4
      Hope this helps :)

It was like oh cool this game has a zombie game with it and it's multi-player, time for split screen and late night gaming with your friends just to see how long you can survive. Than you discovered some small Easter eggs from youtube back when there wasn't so much ads and rules. And it slowly grows into a more detailed big story with time traveling and other dimension as more games come out while the game still tells another story with woods and everything.

    Just to clear up a bit of a ‘plotline’. The reason Maxis in Agartha frees the Shadow Man from the Summoning Key is because when he was reborn by Monty he lacked his soul and only had his brain.
    Without a soul, he couldn’t resist the Shadow Man’s temptations due to being an empty husk, which manipulated him.
