The only thing that kills me in casual plays of moon are the Excavators and Astronaut. Going back every few rounds to stop it is just tedious and the astronaut has a hell of a reach combined with it getting ridiculously stronger each time it dies.

Getting Jugg is super easy, though if you're soloing.

Moon is one of my favorites for sure. I love the total absurdity of it all, the zero gravity, Area 51, and it had a great Easter egg with a hell of a cliffhanger. I quite like Moon and really wasn't aware of how much it was disliked. Understandable nonetheless.

And while we're on Moon:

 

[Randam]

never really played the W@W and BO1 dlc maps.

but I don't know if I want to spend the money.

 

[MarveI]

This better not be expensive since most zombies only players get royally screwed having to pay the full SP price just to play 4 zombie maps each release. Should throw a bone for us and make it a fair price. But knowing them it'll probably be expensive as heck.

I bought BO3 at full price like every other zombies only player (you kinda have to) that's around 100 just to be able to play 5-6 zombie maps most you end up barely playing (especially since BO3 is my least fav BO zombies). I'd consider 30 bucks a great price if not a steal. But something tells me it's going to be at least 50.

 

[Randam]

just tried playing BO3 Zombies on PC.

50% in Shadows of Evil
20 in The Giant
20% in Eisendrache
and 10% in Revelations.

took ages to find 3 other players for The Giant.


and it fucking sucks, that they only show % and not real numbers..

Probably don't show real numbers so people will still queue up. Since if your mentality is that there is a lot of players and so 10% wouldn't be that low, you're more likely to queue up for it than if you actually saw the raw numbers.

Also while on the topic of Zombies, while I do love the community... They do need to grow up. It sucks when I click on Lee Ross' twitter post about DLC3's poster and the first post is: "DLC5".

Like man, it's so fucking disrespectful. I'm at least happy that Lee is a such a bro about it.

But like why do they do it? Are they stalking his twitter page and waiting for any chance to make snide remarks? Are they literally that petty?

 

[Reagan's BR]

Would like to play zombies but at full price for black ops, all the old dlc, and this dlc as well I'm out.

Younger audience that probably thinks it's funny is all.

Ross is a cool dude. 😎

I mean I'm only 22 and I don't get it...

But yeah he is a cool dude. It just sucks cause it seems constant.

I can't imagine the feeling of wanting to share something and every time you do, get a bunch of insults thrown your way about how you'll never be as good as the other guy and that you should just stop.

Couldn't tell ya, bro. I'm 23 and it's sorta sore to see, even as a dude who isn't really into IW Zombies.

There isn't an excuse for the behavior, if anything it's a symptom of the bigger problem with Chronicles overshadowing IW and that more people prefer their version of the mode.

 

[BigEmil]

This dlc Chronicles​ pack got me hype to play alot of Zombies lately

 

[BrettHeazy]

They could done soo well to ship this as a standalone

 

[Toa TAK]

$30 my homies.

 

[Jake2by4]

You need BO3 to play it too but why?

 

[Toa TAK]

You need BO3 to play it too but why?

Because it's DLC that compliments the end of the zombie story (thus far) in Black Ops III.

Also, the PS4 dynamic theme is rockn'. Super jelly.

 

[PackAPunchedMick]

$30 my homies.

8 maps.
Dynamic theme.
20 vials.
Zombies camo.
Gobblegum.

Worth it!

 

[BigEmil]

$30 my homies.

So in. Some of my friends who haven't bought any BO3 zombies dlc I'll tell em to just get this one, man that Yoji Shinkawa artwork PS4 theme is a must get.

Ray Gun Mark 2 also confirmed in all the maps

BO3 Chronicles deserves its own OT i reckon

 

[dave is ok]

Is this going to be a separate DLC for Steam?

 

[Kalentan]

$30 my homies.

Damn more expensive than I imagined (was thinking $20) but I'm in.

$30 my homies.

I dislike that they don't mention anything about the Xbox and PC version at all Like come on.

I betcha I can whip something up. I doubt it'll get any traffic but what the hell.

Month later my bros. =(

That might be the best ad poster COD has ever produced.

 

[Toa TAK]

I love that your first gobblegums are going to be free when you play now. Very cool.

Looking forward to the community event Friday.

 

[VisceralBowl]

edit: figured it out right after posting

 

[kuYuri]

Rezurrection was $15 and that was WaW maps remastered for BO1, so double the maps for double the price, makes sense to me tbh, but I hear you. We all want to pay less.

 

[Fall Into The GAF]

I am going to play the ever fucking shit out of Moon. All these whack ass haters spitting promos for Five are just...whack, man.

 

[13ruce]

Just pre ordered it on psn this is gonna get 100s of hours of play time both online and solo.

And dat theme for ps4.... MGS artstyle art omg....

The graphics look amazing
Old nazi zombies is best zombies.

 

[Compsiox]

I'm kinda done with zombies. I had an amazing 5 years with WaW, BO1, and BO2, but it's just not fun for me anymore.

I'll always keep up with the Treyarch storyline though.

 

[Swimmer9800]

This is actually a dream come true for me.

 

[Swimmer9800]

I put the trailer in the OP

 

[Toa TAK]

Yeah, it has been for a lot of us.

Was honestly expecting this with the Salvation map pack. For them to pull a Rezzurection. This is much better.

 

[PhazonBlazer]

Wait I mean confused is this standalone or is it DLC for BO3?

 

[PackAPunchedMick]

Dlc.

The original black ops 3 is required.

 

[PhazonBlazer]

Ahhh, glad I've held onto it until now.

 

[TheKevn]

What weapons will the maps use?

 

[Swimmer9800]

What weapons will the maps use?

Mostly Black Ops 3 weapons with some Waw and BLOPS1 weapons returning.

 

[13ruce]

What weapons will the maps use?

According to the usual Zombie streamers/youtubers alot of old wonder wapens and old wapens are back like the: Ray gun Mark 2, MP40, Galil, PPHD, Commando and more.

Map specific wonder wapens are back + some old classic weapon favorites.

 

[Swimmer9800]

Does anyone know if there will be a preload available for this?

 

[13ruce]

Does anyone know if there will be a preload available for this?

I preordered it and i can download it on the 14th of may so yes there is preloading from Eu btw if that matters.

 

[PixlNinja]

Guess I gotta buy Blops 3 now...Oh well, guess I'll trade Infinite Warfare in. Not like non-Treyarch CoD is worth keeping nowadays anyways..

 

[ComputerBlue]

Curious to see what kind of stuff they added to the older maps, at $40 Canadian I'm not spending a dime until I see they haven't fucked it up with gumball machines and loot crates and shit. Everyone else needs to do the same, I'm very very skeptical that there won't be any micro transactions involved with the old maps.

just like they fucked up MWR after claiming any loot crate stuff it was cosmetic only.

 

[Reagan's BR]

Wait they changed the weapons on the maps?

It seems to me that the gumball shit is there but is totally optional.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Was the 2016 Call of Duty game so unpopular that they had to go back to the 2015 release for DLC? That's pretty funny if that's the case.

 

[Toa TAK]

Wait they changed the weapons on the maps?

Most of them yeah. The ones that aren't changed are what they added in the loot boxes (ppsh, Galil, M16). Although the Origins specific weapons are in, too.

The Ray Gun Mark II is in, thankfully.

For what it's worth, the Black Ops III sandbox weapons are the best of the Treyarch zombie installments. Better than WAW, BO and BOII, (though I miss the WAW/WWII wepaonry considering the story).

I think that it has more to do with the mode, story and maps originally being made by Treyarch that it ended up being a DLC for a Treyarch CoD.

It's a first in the series for both being DLC number five and releasing for a earlier iteration than the current instalment.

Yup, this is unfortunate and just the beginning then. Expect more weapons and shit locked behind crates.

Faithful recreation my dick.
