Over the years, the game mode has evolved, and no two versions of\u00a0CoD\u00a0Zombies are the same.\u00a0 Zombies has become an expected mode with every entry in the series, and\u00a0it's been\u00a0hit or miss. With so many adaptations\u00a0over the years, fans have argued over which\u00a0CoD\u00a0entry had the best Zombies mode. If you put them side by side, it's easy to tell the best and worst.\u00a0 Below is every\u00a0Call of Duty\u00a0Zombies mode, ranked. All Call of Duty Zombies modes, ranked 11) Call of Duty: Vanguard Unfortunately,\u00a0Vanguard\u00a0didn't add the things that made the Zombies mode so fun. The best part of playing Zombies was starting from one spot and buying new areas slowly. Buying new areas increased the challenge and gave players a sense of progression while opening up ways to get ammo and new weapons.\u00a0 Instead of Wall Buys and Easter Eggs, players got a hub world that would teleport them to areas with a limited amount of zombies. Since the world reset, many players realized they could exploit the leveling system and\u00a0just\u00a0repeatedly bring up specific weapons or their overall levels. These changes took away any feeling of urgency or the dire situation you were supposed to be in. Instead of feeling like a soldier trapped in a world of zombies, you felt like you were playing a zombie game. The zombies weren't as powerful as they once were, and you didn't feel as human and vulnerable as you used to. The transformation of Zombies into a roguelike-inspired co-op shooter deviated significantly from the traditional Zombies experience. We felt a lack of urgency and tension,\u00a0key\u00a0elements of the original game, which made the experience too different from what we expected. The consensus among the gaming community is that Vanguard had the worst Zombies mode of the franchise. Not fun. Zero out of 10. 10) Call of Duty: World War 2 Call of Duty WW2\u00a0was as safe as a game could be. The polished, tactile mode with zombies that looked like Nazis was\u00a0exactly\u00a0what fans expected, and it was a safe bet. Unfortunately, safety doesn't always mean fun, which hurts the game as a whole.\u00a0 Because it didn't try anything new, Zombies mode took a big hit. It was almost a reskinned version of the\u00a0Black Ops\u00a0Zombies mode with different levels. Interestingly, this mode, which is much like every other Zombies mode, was made by Sledgehammer Games.\u00a0Sledgehammer also made\u00a0Vanguard, which was too much, unlike every other Zombies mode. Despite the criticism, we believe that\u00a0Call of Duty: World War 2's Zombies mode had\u00a0its\u00a0merits. The map layout\u00a0was praised\u00a0for its unique areas and traversability, and the gritty realism added a fresh feel to the game. As Sledgehammer Games\u00a0continues to develop\u00a0new titles, one can only hope they take these lessons to heart, striking a balance between familiarity and novelty and ultimately delivering a Zombies mode that\u00a0truly\u00a0hits the mark. Until they can find a middle ground, fans will assume they're not ready to make\u00a0CoD\u00a0games since\u00a0Vanguard\u00a0and\u00a0WW2\u00a0were so unliked. That\u00a0was,\u00a0until\u00a0MW3's\u00a0release in 2023, but we're getting ahead of ourselves. 9) Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare As the first era of\u00a0Modern Warfare\u00a0and\u00a0Black Ops\u00a0games\u00a0came to an end, the quality of\u00a0CoD\u00a0Zombies took a massive hit. While it's nowhere near as bad as\u00a0Vanguard's\u00a0Zombies mode,\u00a0Advanced Warfare's\u00a0take on the popular mode was still underwhelming. AW\u00a0tried to tie its new Advanced Movement system into the Zombies mode, which was the first part of the problem because every map needed to allow for the new mechanic. Since the new movement and maps changed the gameplay drastically, the developers tried to use the new zombie types to counteract the new advanced movement. Some players appreciated the new movement system, arguing that it added replayability and a fresh spin to the classic Zombies experience, and\u00a0the voice acting and character interactions were also praised. However, we felt that the game mode was too demanding, requiring peak efficiency at all times. Although it looks good on paper,\u00a0Advanced Warfare's Zombies mode is not enjoyable\u00a0to play. It was a lot to try out, which hurt the game. The Infection map from\u00a0AW\u00a0is remembered\u00a0as one of the worst Zombie maps in the series. 8) Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare It is hard to knock Infinity Ward for its take on Zombies mode in\u00a0Infinite Warfare. Zombies in Spaceland had a\u00a0big\u00a0theme park reminiscent of old carnivals with bright lights and neon signs. It had the Easter Eggs that fans loved, which showed they tried harder than\u00a0Vanguard.\u00a0 There were two downsides to this: The new knife mechanics, which didn't return in future games, and a final map that was not\u00a0of\u00a0the same quality as the others. Otherwise,\u00a0you could say\u00a0it wasn't a bad first round by the Infinity Ward crew. We really liked this version of the Zombies mode. Although it has some problems, this underrated gem was\u00a0a nice\u00a0addition to the franchise. The mode's success\u00a0is\u00a0largely attributed\u00a0to its adherence to the core mechanics that made the original\u00a0Black Ops 3\u00a0Zombies mode\u00a0popular\u00a0while introducing a fresh, futuristic space combat theme.\u00a0 As fans, we look forward to seeing how future CoD developers might draw inspiration from it. Zombies in Spaceland was a fresh take on Zombies that didn't try and change everything. As a result, Infinity Ward took what worked and gave fans a new theme that other\u00a0CoD\u00a0developers might consider trying. 7) Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Black Ops 4\u00a0split the fanbase down the middle. There were two storylines in the Zombies Mode, which were as loved as\u00a0they were hated. We can say the Chaos maps were\u00a0incredibly fun, though, even if the Aether maps lacked personality and felt stiff.\u00a0 The Zombies mode would have done better if there had been a real focus on one mode instead of two, but we wouldn't have had two choices. The developer of\u00a0Black Ops 4\u00a0Zombies tried something new, and it succeeded for many players, so it's not the worst on the list, but some players really hate it. While some of us appreciate the weapon feedback, vibrant maps, and specific maps like DotN and Ancient Evil, others have pointed out that the Zombies mode in\u00a0Black Ops 4\u00a0was too\u00a0easy, and had many glitches upon release. We'll keep it in the middle because if you liked it, you'd rate it higher, but if you didn't, you'd rate it lower. 6) Call of Duty: World at War You can thank\u00a0World At War\u00a0for the Zombies mode everyone has loved. After you beat the campaign, the game informed you\u00a0a Nazi Zombies mode was unlocked.\u00a0Despite immediate assumptions about what a Zombies mode might look like in\u00a0CoD, once players began to play, it\u00a0was immediately praised.\u00a0 Boarding up windows, opening doors, and earning currency gave you more weapons and places to move in this game. The mode was so popular it received DLC specifically for map packs and has been in every game since. The most popular map from Nazi Zombies was Nacht der Untoten\u2014German for \"Night of the Living Dead.\"\u00a0This map was remastered\u00a0for the Hardened and Prestige Editions of\u00a0Call of Duty: Black Ops. There's no doubt that players would love it if\u00a0it\u00a0was\u00a0remastered\u00a0again with an even\u00a0harder\u00a0difficulty. The Zombies mode in\u00a0Call of Duty: World at War\u00a0holds a special place in our hearts. Despite its age, the game mode\u00a0continues to offer\u00a0a unique experience that later installments have yet to replicate. The raw, gritty atmosphere, combined with the tension of surviving wave after wave of undead, creates a captivating experience that keeps us\u00a0going back. 5) Call of Duty: Black Ops Black Ops\u00a0took the idea\u00a0World\u00a0At War\u00a0started and moved the ball forward. It brought the mode into a Cold War setting with a tongue-in-cheek way to pull the political leaders from the time into the game.\u00a0 It was the best comedy the series had done in a\u00a0very\u00a0long time, and the allusion to Nixon's Watergate Scandal was terrific. The rooms were tight enough for players to feel secure, but there was enough space for Zombies to feel overwhelmed if\u00a0they weren't killed\u00a0quickly.\u00a0An\u00a0all-around\u00a0romp of a time best enjoyed with friends. 4) Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Black Ops 3\u00a0took everything the previous games had done and improved it. The only thing that separates this from the\u00a0previous\u00a0entry is the maps.\u00a0BO3\u00a0maps were lacking, and there aren't many that are as memorable as\u00a0Black Ops 2.\u00a0 That doesn't take away from the fast-paced action and zombie types that\u00a0BO3\u00a0offered, however.\u00a0Many players would consider these last three entries the best in the series, and they wouldn't be wrong.\u00a0BO3\u00a0appealed to the fan base well but\u00a0was beaten out\u00a0by the superior maps of the game that came before. The introduction of elements like Gobblegum brought additional tactical depth, enhancing the game's appeal to newcomers and seasoned players\u00a0alike. We see this version of Zombies as a testament to the developer's ability to listen to feedback and continually refine its craft. 3) Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (MWZ) Some may believe\u00a0we\u2019ve\u00a0jumped the gun here, but\u00a02023\u2019s\u00a0MW3\u00a0is already regarded\u00a0as one of the best additions to the\u00a0CoD\u00a0Zombies collection. Modern Warfare Zombies, or\u00a0MWZ, marks quite the departure from the typical Zombies mode. Those who played the\u00a0MW2 (2022)\u00a0extraction shooter\u00a0DMZ\u00a0will\u00a0be familiar with\u00a0how the mode works. Gone are the rounds and the smaller maps, replaced with Urzikstan\u2014a giant open city and outskirts pockmarked with points of interest and plenty of zombies. Fans familiar with zombies will no doubt spot the likes of Mystery Boxes, Pack-a-Punches, and Wall Guns, but with contracts to hunt and an increased difficulty the closer you get to the center of the city,\u00a0it's\u00a0a fresh perspective on the franchise\u2014and fans are loving it. 2) Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Black Ops Cold War\u00a0appealed to a newer generation of players like the original\u00a0Black Ops\u00a0appealed to the former generation. Many players will say it's not as good as our number one pick because of the maps, but it has better graphics and weapons, and the studios have taken what has worked from previous entries and packed it on in\u00a0Black Ops Cold War.\u00a0 The addition of\u00a0new maps arguably did more for this title than for any other Zombies mode.\u00a0Despite its initial release state, Season Two\u00a0made the game significantly better, solidifying it as a timeless entry in the Zombies franchise. The continuous updates have kept the mode fresh and engaging, solidifying its place in the franchise and on our list. Although it had a rocky start,\u00a0Black Ops Cold War's Zombies mode has proven its worth and continues to captivate players globally. 1) Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Black Ops 2\u00a0is the\u00a0strongest entry in the\u00a0CoD\u00a0Zombies series,\u00a0and it doesn't look like it'll\u00a0be touched\u00a0for first place for a long time. It took the formula that had been working and amped it up to 11, with the best maps ever released and a gameplay loop that satisfied even the toughest of\u00a0CoD\u00a0critics. The game's unique blend of thrilling gameplay, innovative features, and memorable maps has garnered widespread acclaim. The introduction of Tranzit, an open-world experience within the Zombies mode, was a game-changer, offering players a new level of freedom and exploration. Whereas\u00a0BO3\u00a0only improved on what worked,\u00a0BO2\u00a0took a risk, trying several new features at the time, like custom game modes and weapons\u2014and it hit the mark in almost every beat. We haven't seen better maps than those shown in\u00a0BO2, which has proven to be the\u00a0key\u00a0element to a great Zombies game.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/15101941\/Call-of-Duty-Cold-War-Zombies.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/657210"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2121"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=657210"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/657210\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1216175,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/657210\/revisions\/1216175"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/657296"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=657210"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=657210"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=657210"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=657210"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=657210"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=657210"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=657210"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
