How Alpha Omega CRUSHED All Hope In Treyarch

- Let's talk about how Alpha Omega CRUSHED all hope in Treyarch?! The Black Ops 4 life cycle was a wild ride and the Chaos Story was getting all the love and support, leaving the 10 year long Aether story finale to be left in the dust. Were the reimagining's intentional? We will never know. But despite the developers missteps regarding the content offering of Black Ops 4 Zombies, did Alpha Omega really deserve all the disdain it received on its launch day?

i dont hate the BO4 maps but the fact that every single ultimis/primis map is a remake is the biggest robbery i think we've ever seen in a zombies.
It was definitely a bummer.
Tag is a lot more than a remake though, and even calling it a reimagining is a stretch. It’s a second map built on top of the previous one. It’s also absolutely gorgeous. I get what you’re saying, I think using a previously un-remastered, fan-favorite map as the skeleton for a new map is a solid idea
@@NameAvailable that’s true but when all the other maps have been remakes it makes it feel lazy
I feel like the VIBE of this map felt like classic cod zombies for once. It wasn't full of fantasy creatures and stuff, it was full of sciency, post-apocalyptic-ness and I loved every bit of it. It's just a shame that such a normal map had to be the endgame map for zombies.
It gave off that bo1, illuminati, lab secrets gone wrong setting the old games had that made them feel so special.
@@panzershreck8077if only it had bo3 systems and actual production man
It really does have great atmosphere, that’s why it’s in my top 5
Yeah it's just a shame that it's a recycled map from a literal decade but that's just how good treyarch used to be.
It wasn't the endgame map
I think Activision has ironically lost its "vision" of what they're supposed to be doing. They have no idea what they're doing. They'd actually make more money if they just let the developers do their job but they can't, they think the guys in suits in board offices know what's best and this is the result. Treating development teams like an NFL roster is not a great idea.
I agree to an extent but I think the developers are more responsible than we give them credit. I see devs on Twitter all the time talking about how they are so proud of making garbage. Like Starfield was great example, or even Redfall. I see COD devs post about a bundle they designed and how proud they are of it.
I just think the system is broke as a whole and it started during BO4. It has a lot to do with IW leadership, they have a lot of pull from what I understand and have destroyed Treyarchs reputation in the process of this Modern Warfare reboot.
I don't think it's Activision so much as it is Bobby Kotick's incompetent leadership, endless greed, and shortsighted thinking.
I'm a massive CoD Zombies and Overwatch fan, and both were fucking eviscerated under his leadership. And the guy was awarded hundreds of millions of dollars for it.
If that's your line of thinking, which is fine, then you need to give him credit for every success as well. 2007 - 2017 COD and all diablo and overwatch, starcraft, etc.
He can't be the lynch pin without being the genius as well. That argument doesn't work, unfortunately.
@@AfterlifeAnalysis it took him time to fire and override other members of management. He didn't instantly ruin the creativity in the company. He did it slowly, focusing on one area at a time.
If you look at his individual decisions, you can see how his actions overall were to increase yearly profits at the expense of long-term value. His entire management strategy was "make more this year than last year at all costs." Why do you think so many of the passionate and quality devs/staff left over time? Listed reasons are often "creative differences" but the reality is "lack of creativity differences." The games slowly got worse to maximize profits, until they reached the point where they are today. Where maximum value is derived from each product, whereas anything creative with a goal of long-term player retention and happiness was abandoned.
The people actually involved in making the quality experiences? Guess what, they've left the company. Although during the slow leak of talent, very few were actually dumb enough/had the guts to call out Kotick for ruining the products they put passion into, they still left the company.
Hell, hating Kotick has been a longstanding tradition for decades now given the terrible decisions he made. This isn't a brand new thing. He's been called out by gamers and members of the industry for a long time.
This map lost all its potential when they had all 4 characters from both sides, yet didn't even attempt a Grief Mode or even 8 player gameplay.
I passed on bo4 but when I found out about story of its maps and how both groups are present, my first thought was how there should have been a 4v4 grief mode similar to black ops 2s grief mode. massive missed opportunity
With what dev time? Treyarch didn't even have time to work on Tag due to having to rush out Cold War let alone to make *more* content
>implying an 8 player cap is hard or something
Nice pfp
@@ParagonHeadEsploderhow hard could it be to do the thing you did 6 years before on a older generation console
You can't be serious and tell me a Nuketown Zombies remake was intended to be the last Primis & Ultimis map, the OG plan was The Great War and Activision just fucked up the perfect ending
I love how passionate you sounded when talking about the narrative. More cod zombies fans need to appreciate it fr
Well.... Not anymore surely.
Cod zombie fans are now just mwz brain rotted drones.... Doubt they'd appreciate anything made in the past atp.
@@panzershreck8077Player from the new Zombies here, and am pretty sure i can love and appreciate the OG Story and maps and the new ones ;D.
While I think the narrative was good, but my goodness it just got SO bloated. The other problem was the favoritism towards the OG characters, which while understandable, if you're making a story, they can't keep going forever.
You either need to lose the characters, or lose the story.
Losing the characters allows the story to keep flowing or have an actual ending and start a new one without getting stretched.
Losing the story allows you to keep the characters without needing to worry about how things really make sense or not.
Treyarch tried to leave the characters, and then the community whined. When we went back to remade maps to follow the story, people whined again.
In my opinion, the maps and gameplay should always be the #1 priority, as most of the community doesn't do the easter eggs or go for high rounds, they want to be able to play the map for 20-40 rounds and be done.
I don't really think more zombies fans need to appreciate the narrative, I think the die hard fans need to realize they don't make up anywhere near the majority of the fan base, and so defenses of the map being "well the story is good" or "you need to only open up certain doors and certain paths to make the map playable" don't hold anywhere near enough water.
Hope this doesn't come off as hating rant against you, these were just some thoughts I had regarding it. Either way, hopefully we'll get some good content from the next COD for zombies.
@@ordgaming4189 I agree with you on the majority tbh. Personally, the narrative and the EXTREMELY memorable and quotable characters are what i end up remembering the most and loving the most.
This is the most fair view on AO ive seen since the maps launch. I fell out of bo4 long before the dlc cycle even started, but when I came back to the game years later, AO was the first map i decided to beat because it was the most fun Aether map there was imo. Lots of what AO did was actually great for the narrative as you said, and while i totally agree what it did was overall good, i do feel everything it did was cut short by how little Tag Der Toten gave us while finishing it up. Bo3 ended with a really bland ending, but at least it felt totally finished. Bo4 made me feel like we were missing something HUGE that Treyarch really wanted us to experience (The Great War, most notably). And then on top of that Cold War brings BACK the aether story in some capacity, but then they just stopped doing that??? so now the story is left somehow more incomplete than it even was then.
Ah Alpha Omega. A map I've always overlooked.
You make a fair point. If bo4's remaining budget wasn't sacrificed. AO and Tag could have been amazing.
Comparing it to the other maps. Dead of the night was complex but enjoyable. Aincent evil was amazing. It's one of my top 3 maps.
And Tag der toten. It was took a while to set up. But gameplay was simple. Train zombies, Thunder gun them. Etc.
Ao just felt tedious and overly complex. From setting up. To building the mark 2 upgrades. To the soul box Easter egg. (Literally every step involved a soul box)
AO had little room to innovate. Combine that with a reduction in budget. And a remake of Nuketown....
It's just unfortunate. I bet treyarch would have smashed expectations if things had gone to plan.
Thank god this got more views. The video quality is absolutely insane, I could watch these kinds of videos for hours. Pure love man, keep it up❤️🔥
How does this only have 16 views
bc its a cheap reupload
What? Why
Just so everyone understands this is my video. I reuploaded it to this channel bc I’m considering pivoting my content. And wanted to garner CZcams data.
I run Skeptix, I run afterlife and some other channels as well.
I am just considering other options for CZcams that’s all.
@@AfterlifeAnalysisWhat other channels? I like your style please share the other channels.
@@A__340I’m slowly moving over to this channel. All the content you need is here. I recently changed to this style last year.
If you’d like to check out my variety content it’s on a channel called The Bit.

This was randomly in my suggested, and I’m glad it was! Bro this editing is awesome especially for someone with only 500 subs. You deserve a lot more recognition for these videos, super entertaining. You got a new sub, please do more zombies related content!
EDIT: Just found your other channel, even at 16k you have some good editing and overall entertaining content. Even still, would love to see some more video essay content like this maybe on bo3, bo2, bo1, IW or WW2.
I may be switching over to this channel. I am unsure. I am just doing some testing here. But yes you're right 500 or 16k, it's not really a ton of subscrib3rs. So I appreciate your kindness.
And I will be working on other retros as well. I'm currently in the planning phase.
I gotta say bro, this content is high end stuff, especially seeing your still a small creator. I love zombies and this type of content. You’ve earned me as a sub, and congrats on almost being monetized you got this!!
Thank you. I will be continuing to make retros, reviews, for Zombies and hopefully other franchises like Resident Evil, Dead Space, stuff like that. And we will cross other bridges with content as we go.
Super underrated, amazing content, keep it up dude
The Johnyj25 of Alpha Omega
I put Alpha Omega in my top 5, so I think I’m the JohnnyJ25 of Alpha Omega
I just found ur channel and i am watching all these retrospecives from oldest to newest and i think retrospective videos have always been my favorite n zombies is my favorite so plz keep these going for all zombies maps 😊
How come he only has 319 subscribers? This content goes above and beyond just gameplay and walkthroughs.
Please keep going! New favorite zombies CZcamsr
I get why the title is the way that it is, and I probably wouldn't have clicked on the video if it didn't make me mad as a BO4 fan but this is a good vid, great work! I hope you're able to get an audience off more zombies content, always need more people keeping this silly mode alive.
DId you make this? Crazy good work man. I am just working on doing the AO ee so I guess that's why this popped up
Yeah I made this video. I have a few different CZcams channels but I am thinking about starting fresh over here with zombies.

The quality of this video is ASTOUNDING!! Keep making content bro!!
The fact that there’s more parts coming IS SO AMAZING thank you for the new zombies content!! 😆
TBH Alpha Omega was my favorite Treyarch map probably since the Zielinski days.
Outside of the clumsy retcon of the Avagadro’s origins and the usual issues with Bo4’s core gameplay, I found it to be a pretty fun map.
In general, I thought Bo4’s Aether maps (minus Blood of the Dead) had good layouts and a more “Black ops-y” atmosphere than the stuff in Bo3 and Origins. It’s just the core gameplay that was fundamentally flawed. The pacing, mechanics and extreme focus on “special” zombies really bogged it all down. I would have loved to play the map with Bo1 or a bo2’s mechanics and systems
Wtf
This is some of the best zombies content I’ve seen since bo3, keep up the good quality content bro I hope to see you big one day
Appreciate it. Will be moving over to this channel and making retros for a lot of the series.
I loved this map so much, between blood and alpha I kept coming back to bo4 zombies. The story behind the map was great, a challenging but not ridiculously overwhelming easter egg like the other bo4 maps, and I personally loved the look and feel of it.
Amazing Video!! Keep up the good work!
amazing video bro i wish i would of played this map but the biggest issue for me was lack of friends to play with and difficulty. i was never able to complete blood of the dead and didn't care for the other story line it was so difficult as a solo player that i just gave up on the mode. as many people dont like cold war i loved the zombies because it felt like the perfect balance of challenging but actually completable easter eggs as a solo player
This is a very high quality video, great work
Please keep going friend! Great videos 😁
I came into this vid thinking u were going to shit on alpha omega like any other youtuber because of the title but when I actually gave the vid a chance, this was one of the best reviews I’ve seen. The fact that you acknowledged how much restrictions Activision had and how they worked through that was outstanding and the fact that you went through the story and Easter egg was also nice. Best review I’ve seen on YT and I’m glad it’s finally someone not blindly hating the map because they’ve never played it
I genuinely love bo4. Just wish it went down a little differently.
This is incredible quality if you keep this up you will have millions of subscribers in no time
i remember a long time ago i heard something about how they went to the comic book style cutscenes since data miners were finding the animations for the cutscenes only being confirmed with revelations when the cutscene was leaked before the map was released
Alpha Omega is easily the best BO4 zombies map, the EE is incredible, the boss fight can be a pain but it is really really cool, hearing how the Avogadro was created and the lore was amazing in Alpha Omega, the Ray Guns are the coolest Wonder Weapons all of time(especially the Electric one), the layout is fun and challenging(except when you do the boss fight because it’s so tight and I can’t move anywhere), Rushmore is the GOAT, and finally the 8 playable characters were incredible, top 5 zombies map for sure
The fact that they couldn't get Malcolm McDowell back to voice Dr. Monty really sucks and leads me to believe that Treyarch never intended to continue the Aether story. Having to turn such an interesting and fan favorite character into a non-speaking background villain is so unfortunate.
The ending scene of this map also greatly frustrates me because they once again talk about how they are off to fight the Great War... and then you don't. Everything is dropped as the perspective shifts to Victis in a reimagined Call of the Dead for the most wet noodle grand finale possible. Obviously, budget cuts and most of the staff being unexpectedly relocated to another game could never have been predicted, but it IS frustrating that we as fans are left with a rushed ending.
I firmly believe that Revelations was meant to be the true finale of this story. Primis made the ultimate sacrifice to continue the cycle because they know there IS peace post Revelations and their souls get to live on in the form of their child selves. From a different, more meta perspective, the cycle has to continue because that's literally what the zombies game mode is. A never ending, unwinnable, cycle. You survive for as long as possible, die, and repeat the whole thing again.
I understand that ending a haphazardly told, beloved storyline, is very difficult and they could never have appeased everyone. But a line had to be draw in the sand. It's clear to me that Treyarch wanted to move on with the Chaos story as that is where all the time, effort, and resources went. The newly introduced mechanics also made the most sense for the Chaos story. The specialist weapons, elixirs, and even some of the equipment are all designed with Chaos Story in mind. But because they caved to fan demand and walked back the Aether ending, we wound up with an unfinished Chaos story and a rushed Aether story ending.
Anyway, great video! On to the next one!
When the goat craig pulled out the script and it was stacks upon stacks omg they did their best, this map is great story is good and there is clearly still love put into it
Lex lounge reaction vid for this about to be like an hour and thirty mins. Can’t wait lol and good vid by the way really good stuff 🫡💪🏼
I really liked alpha omega and its easter egg as it wasnt just go fight a dragon demon hybrid thing, it was a boss we knew of and was iconic. The map went back to the original vibes of like bo1 and bo2
I remember me and my Buddy firing up this map for the first time. As usual we have taken notes before and written them down in handwriting. We prepare for something truly hard, like we are used from COD zombies, well more so bo3 less bo4.
And then we accidentally completed this map on the first try... We have never played this map before... And never did since then. This was the last map I finished with my friend in years, until we recently started completing all the cold war maps out of fun.
This map, for some reason made us not want to play anymore.
I always did like the way the map looked, and the wonder weapons did always look sick. Might have to replay this at the start of summer break, which is at the end of school today. UPDATE: I played it, gotta say, I loved it. Granted, im no easter egg guy, but I love being able to loop zombies all over the place with the Laser Ray Gun. Loved it.
I just realized Rushmore is Clovis Bray from Destiny 2
Loving the community
Amazing video
People upset over reused weapons, but the weapons function very differently. (Example: Tundragun being completely different and more powerful than the thundergun)
BO4 also has more WWs than bo3 including chronicles, and has more special weapons, with upgrades. Also, it makes sense for a Broken Arrow facility to be in Nuketown, because of a Der Riese radio mentioning a Nevada base with a large supply of 115.
BO3 reused a bunch of things. Dragon shield, Ragnaroks, Lil Arnies, Thundergun, Apothicon Servant, Panzer, Wunderfizz, perk system, and only introduced one perk, that was changed and improved in BO4.
Fans mad cause BO4 is too different yet mad because of a lack of uniqueness. People love Kino and then hate on DotN. Asking for a MotD REMASTER and getting a vastly improved sequel and hating on it because no Jug and five years ago there were crashes on PS4. Cold War gets praise but it has half the maps and is unironically worse than WaW.
Agreed
You have good and bad opinions here. All I can say really.
Yerrr this mf knows what’s up, all I’m saying when I play this game on pc or ps5 it’s such a great time bruh. This zombies is my favorite for soloing Easter eggs because it’s the toughest of imo.
IX ee is so ez,ngl I flop hard on the elephant fight sometimes. Man I could yap on forever dude ima just keep it short and sweet man
Zombie CZcamsrs don't help at all because they seem to represent the entire community, so anything they say people take it as a 100% fact no matter how it sounds.
Tundragun was definitely not better than thunder. You’re crazy
Gotta say, Avocado was always my least favorite "boss" on maps, killing him felt unrewarding outside of the fact he'd be gone for a while, only being able to melee him instead of being able to use the guns I picked out for myself, and his abilities being more annoying than anything else, all of it just made for a really annoying "challenge" on specific maps.
Great video
This map feels like a custom fan project, except you had to pay for it
It's unfortunate that even if AO was one of the best zombies maps it'd still not be particularly good. Because like every other bo4 map, its enjoyability is kneecapped by having the Bo4 systems, ui and experience
I think the comic book cutscenes looked best on bo3 even tho it was only on DE. Bo4 made me feel like I had drunk goggles on
I wish these remasters aside from Blood andTag Dee Toten had been extra content for the pass, and only gave tiny tidbits of story and just been the fun maps they always were without having such a weight on their shoulders
I'd probably be able to appreciate the BO4 Aether maps more if the Chaos maps didn't exist. Because I just...can't ignore the fact that rather than focusing on delivering a satisfying ending for the story we cared about; they split their attention to make a new storyline.
To add insult to injury too, BO4 coincided with the tenth anniversary of Zombies - and rather than focusing on finalizing that story they'd been building for a decade...they were focused on this new storyline no one cared about?
I remember hating Alpha Omega on release, but recently I took the time to go back in and really explore the lore of the map. I’d go so far as to say that the backstory of the map is one of the best in CoD Zombies and also one of the scariest. Pernell was a total MONSTER even before he was corrupted by Element 115 and it really makes the desolate “frozen in time” atmosphere of the map really scary. There’s this evil force that is so great that Broken Arrow set up a nuke like it was a Home Alone trap, and even that can’t stop Avogadro.
Great summary. 100% agree with you. I didn't "hate" it on launch, but I was bummed and confused.
Finally learning the story of the s shiddd I was amazing I remember seeing him for the first time I was 10 and so afraid
The fact that this map was a part of the trainwreck that was BO4 already doomed it if you ask me. As someone who has been playing zombies since WaW, this game had too much change for me and is one I don’t think I’ll ever even think about touching
That's a shame. It's a great mode. But, hey, you do you. ✌🏻
i’ll never get over the fact that we never got a great war map, that should’ve been the conclusion but activision sucks
I feel like Treyarch never gets to fully realize something, whether it be from time constraints or Activision meddling or whatever else. I feel that if they never get dragged to other stuff they could at least fill in any gaps properly.
Alpha Omega parallels Game of Thrones for me. Even if it was properly executed, the direction meant it was always going to fail. Treyarch completely mis-read chronicles success to mean 'we want remade maps' rather than 'we want remade maps on top of strong original maps' just like Black Ops 3 was. The cut budget then meant that rather than simply going off the rails, the train flipped upside and set on fire, and it came across as a betrayal to fans.
When it comes to B04 my issues typically aren't with the maps, it's with the gameplay/enemy types. Like I like the chaos storyline, maps, and characters but god damned so many of the extra enemies are just annoying/tedious. Not because they're too difficult, but because they just spam you with stupid effects. I understand what they were going for, but whish they would have skipped it. I probably would've enjoyed Alpha Omega if it wasn't for the Nova's
36:53 Look at how cluttered and disgutingly distracting that HUD is. That's the main reason I couldn't stand to play BO4 past its first couple of weeks after launch.
I think the reason people are so upset about this, is because we have seen them do amazing, and make super lovable maps and story, and it isn't like they lack the money
A portion of it has to do w the budget but more of the lack of a solid dev team that unfortunately had to split up n work on blackout & cw
Alpha Omega was the only reason I thought about buying DLC
The new areas were great but the middle of the map was terrible I wish they gave the middle of the map a complete new layout and since it was the same nuke town layout I quickly got bored of the map wish they would’ve showed the big drill in the map like in the original nuke town loading screen would of bin cool to see it drill into the middle of the map. It would have bin cool to maybe go inside of it man what could have bin. The map was honestly the biggest let down for me definitely missed the mark
Wanna know twist?
This map will became beloved afther years
Grammer
I thought part of the problem was them outsourcing Alpha Omega and Tag Der Toten to a b-team (Treyarch/Activision Shanghai) and they were forced to rush it to meet deadlines 🤷🏽♂️
It’s very easy to give developers the benefit of the doubt, but when you give such a high profile project like COD ZOMBIES DLC to a B-Team…you don’t exactly expect to get back the cream of the crop, do you? If you did…then I don’t know what to tell yah
That’s all but confirmed, several Zombie YTbers have stated as much, and the timeline of 3arc being forced to pick up development of Black Ops Cold War lines up perfectly with the post launch debacle.
Everyone's always remaking classics but I'm kinda sad and annoyed no one has remade bo4 maps into bo3 but reworked
I love the idea of alpha omega, like the boss and the rayguns them selfs, but the thing is, like how to get the raygun variants, they just miss the mark too much
another problem bo4 zombies had was(imo) bo3 custom zombies. official work kinda didn't hold any candle to what modders did.
Honestly they opened up the map like in transit would be fantastic but them opening up like vanguard again would be trash
i might go on a bit of a rant here. i know they wanted to start a new storyline with chaos and i didnt mind the idea of closing the old one off and starting a new one but they did it in such a weird way that it was just dead on arrival. pouring budget into a new storyline while the old one is still going and suffering in quality because of the new one left a bad taste in peoples mouth so they hated on chaos. like just the change of having full in game cinematics for all chaos maps but only having these low effort illustrated ones for aether felt so low quality. and then they took that as a "people dont like chaos because its bad" when in reality it was more of a "chaos isnt bad but the way it was introduced was bad". aether should have ended and then they should have introduced chaos either in the second half of the bo4 dlcs or in bocw. chaos had all the ingredients of what i loved about zombies. interesting mythology and especially the characters just being over the top caricatures just like ultimis and primis. i loved that. and now what do we have in bocw? a mediocre, comparably very grounded and stripped down shadow of the OG aether storyline with nostalgia baiting returning characters and campaign characters sprinkled in. im not a fan of bocw story at all and even less so with how vanguard and mw3 zombies continued that. i guess every story has to start somewhere but when you are used to crazy over the top stuff we had from bo2-bo4, bocw feels kinda bland. and these gigantic, godly, wannabe marvel villain beings in vanguard and mw3 zombies just dont hit the same as keepers and dr. monty. the apothicons were just as crazy but the lovecraftian nature of them made them very interesting and their mythology felt super cool. i hope this years zombies gives me more of the bo2-bo4 vibes back and dials up the craziness a bit more than bocw did but apart from gameplay, i really dont see how i can ever enjoy zombies again.
So the nova bombers are just the blue catalysts in the chaos maps. The WORST catalyst zombie. What a terrible idea
Yup a bunch a glazers here
Victus would've made AO a better experience whereas closing Tag w the Ultimus/Primis crew
If they just focused on one story or the other this game could have been so much better. I will forever be upset they abandoned Chaos for what we have now. I am completely alienated from the "modern" storyline.
Amazing video but I still hate this map and I don’t think that will ever change unfortunately 😂
the budget cut for Zombies and increase for shitty Blackout is what ruined everything
I will never understand why this is map is so hated. We finally got to see what was in the bunker and after years of wondering and begging for it, suddenly everyone is pissed. It's giving Revelations 2. We were all hyped for it & when we got it on initial release we all hated it.
Also another thing of note,
Alpha Omega is happening in a different time from the streamline of Resolving The Universe. Marlton is still in the bunker, but we know in Resolving the Universe, Marlton is in a cryopod in Blood of The Dead for future use in Tag Der Toten.
Imma be honest, most people's complaints for this map that I've heard are;
Rushmore
Nova 6 Bombers
Jolting Jacks
Pack A Punch
People out here [MrTLexify in particular] compare Rushmore to S.O.P.H.I.A & while I'll say yes they are similar, at least Rushmore's dialogue is a little humorous and he can give you SO MUCH if you know secret codes, unlike S.O.P.H.I.A who just stares, offers no help in any way, and just talks. "You appear to be in danger" NO 💩 LADY. HELP. ME.
For the Nova 6 Bombers & Jolting Jacks, all you have to do is look out for them while you're hoarding. They're not hard to miss & you always have an opportunity to kill them before they merge with the crowd and create problems. If you can't do that. Skill issue.
Pack A Punch. Alpha Omega is like the 40th map in the game. Hand Holding needs to stop. Players need to learn how to play on their own without being given a free Machine Gun on their first attempt [just an example]
Fun map none the less imo
Almost everything you said was a compliment to the map and in the end you're like: alpha omega crushed our hope and crap😂
I was like wtf😂
“If you must call me something before i destroy you. Call me… Avagadro.”
This line right here is what officially killed Alpha Omega for me. I liked the story and gameplay of Tag, but it wasn’t anything crazy or something i was tightly invested in. Alpha Omega was a bad map for gameplay, i didn’t like the aesthetic, and the writing was so all over the place, with playable character dialogue being phenomenal, and everything else being… well, the line i quoted. Awful. I genuinely do not know how that is an official line and not a cheesy fan fic writer’s contribution. Luckily Operation Z was awesome, and i was able to enjoy Blackout and MP during Alpha Omega’s lifespan
This needs 5 Zombillion views
Blood of the Dead, absolutely gets a pass. Mob of the Dead absolutely was one of the coolest maps and deserved to be revisited, reconnected, and resolved. Nuketown kind of needed something similar, but having no new maps for the Aether crew was disappointing. I understand why they wanted to have a more smooth transition away from the Aether, so that zombies could remain relevant after the Aether conclusion. It's just a damn shame that both Aether and Chaos storylines suffered from both the internal conflict, and the lack of success of zombies.
I can only speak for myself, but Revelations was just so damn disappointing. I assumed that BO4 would finally give satisfying answers, but instead the answers were rushed and left with a sad ending that felt too forced. It was exciting to see Victis back, but why the fuck was the story of Primis and Ultimus ended with a Victis map?
And why the fuck did we never get a Great War map with the original elemental staves?
And why the fuck did we never get to actually fight Dr. Monty?
Last edit: all of the complicated trickery Richtofen went through being a setup for establishing the cycle rather than outsmarting Monty to put him in a trap where he has to confront the crew and allow them an opportunity for escape.
2017 Chronicles is the most selling DLC
2018 they cut the budget for B04.
I hate this so much, such a slap to the face when they end a 10year story on reused maps and a PowerPoint instead of a proper cutscene
You're telling me bub.
Does someone know the music ID at 3:00
If you kinda look at it I feel like it had a Cold War take to it
Alrighttt that's ENOUGH STOPPPP!!!!
I like this map tbh
Maxis was killed in such a gore way its almost sad
I would love to play Bo4 zombies with any of you guys. On PSN, 420 EE high rounds
I always loved this game but everybody turned on it for fortnite
I enjoy high rounds and EEs. Im cracked, but struggle with DotN and Voyage.
i enjoy IX classified Ancient and Alpha A LOT. Burnt out by blood.
3:11 Hey I know that song…
what song is it?
There's a reason so many of the Treyarch team for zombies left, and it's because Activision just plainly sucks ass. Especially now where they want to turn everything into warzone.
Just earned a sub, dude.. Let's play together at some point
Alpha GOAT-mega
I just replayed it and its actually very fun. But I'd rather play bo3 over bo4 anyday anyway, IX is Great, I love ancient evil and dead of the night aesthetically even tho they are hard af to casuall play. I really enjoy alpha omega and blood of the dead (almost as much as mob of the dead actually) classified is in anyway better than fives besides the characters in my opinion. I like voyages vibe a lot but the map plays badly, Overall I would place it at mid Tier. Tag der Toten was a dissappointment in every way for me. Overall I would say Bo4 is extremely underrated but not as good as bo3 or bo2 but not really bad either.
Totally fair assessment. Love the objective take here.
@@AfterlifeAnalysis Thank you! Btw your channel quality is insanely high for the amounts of subs you have. Keep up the great Work, I am going to share your acc with friends and some subreddits, hopefully they are as Impressed as I am. Have a great day !!
when did you make a new channel?
A couple months ago.
@@AfterlifeAnalysis crazy, just popped up in my recommended. you got like 3 or 4 at this point right? you rebranding?
Okay hear me out, this map is get way too much hate but it still has it’s flaws, and also it definitely makes up for nuke-town zombies. Alpha Omega is what nuke-town zombies should have been.
You see this Shyet right here trayCore content right here. Strike Right to the origins mastermind. They overbledge the anticipation of dlc right on dlc value. Even in the thinest thread. This team delivered the most underated unglorified featured maps. I hope you devs learn that cold war wasnt fully. satisfying
I grew up on bo1 and especially bo2 and i peaked during bo3. bo4 i played for about a month but didnt like it after its poor launch and little things like the Hud being weird on top of the fact fortnite was everywhere. Recently however i thought why not download and play it properly as i did with bo3. Would you say it’s worth getting the black ops pass? the only map i really want to play is ancient evil but this video was quite interesting and makes me want to try AO too. Looking back especially with how dogshit zombies is nowadays i almost think that bo4 is actually like kinda good?
I love bo4 so I am biased. If you are unsure, then wait for a sale. But even so, if you spend $100 total, that is 8 maps for $100, and around 12 bucks per map.
There is so much to do. Easter Eggs. Camo grind. High Rounds. Rush. Gauntlet.
You'll definitely get your money's worth if you want to do so.
As someone who was very critical of Bo4 back when it was in its prime, I would definitely say it’s aged like wine. Sure the maps are Aether maps are rehashes, but they all have unique quest lines and features to keep you coming back. I wouldn’t pay full price for it, but a decent sale that includes all the maps would definitely be worth it.
I'll play it with you sometime if you have PSN
@@LowTierScrub Yeah i have PSN i’m just waiting for a sale
@@volcanicxviper7775 awesome man yeah! It will be worth the wait. They charge too much for old things, never do full price
What "Link in the description" ?
I'm not sure what you're referring too but if you tell me I can make an update to what3ver mistake I made.
@@AfterlifeAnalysis 3:25 you said there was a link to the Playlist. I just wanted to bring it to your attention.
You're video is great! Keep up the good work and you'll have 100k subs in no time!
Sad i love Alpha Omega, i think if you made it a little more simplistic it would fit right in with bo2
Thug Shaker
Aether should of been Cold War it would of worked out if they just dedicated bo4 to aether
I don't regret not giving BO4 a fair chance but I'll say this treyarch did what they could with what little fucking Activision gave them. What kept me away from BO4 wasn't wasn't just the unceremoniously ending they gave the aether story but also how they tried to push a perk system overhaul and the complete mess they did with the elixirs when the gobblegum system almost perfect.
I’m betting a million views on this video within the next 6 months
Woof... oh man, what a dream that would be. Maybe, we shall see :)
Fingers crossed 🤞🏻
Sooo... what is this? I've only played black ops and I'm lost for everything
