Your Heart Will Go on in Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII's Co-Op Mode

I had my first taste of Zombies on Sunday unbelievably. Its a lot more elaborate than the horde modes of old and you get giant wasps for no apparent reason and can turn into tentacled monsters to whack doors. I dont know if I like it.

Who up for more this Sunday?

Can you play it offline the zombies storymode that is?

My team all like the odd bit of zombies. But I tend to skip it and stay on multiplayer if I’m on. I’m a little put off by the lack of a campaign, but treyarch make a great multiplayer. And having just tried battlefield 1 and hating both the multiplayer and campaign I’m mean it’s so much worse than battlefield 4. There’s no way I’m going to be getting battlefield V for my multiplayer kicks

I’m not sure what I think of it getting crazier than Black Ope 3 zombies lol. I think COD is losing its marbles at this rate.
@themcnoisy I’ll be working this Sunday sadly. I’m off Saturday though.

@get2sammyb Shouldn't that be Call of Duty: Black Ops IV?

@Tasuki Likewise, the series has gotten stale.

@Tasuki Wow that's cool. I didn't know that! Thanks for the info! ^_^

@Tasuki A Roman walks into a bar, holds up two fingers, and says ”Five beers, please."

@ReanSchwarzer7 I keep reading the title IIII as 3 b/c my brain wont' accept that as 4. And despite what others here may have told you, even if that is the case that it's a valid Roman Numeral 4, I don't believe it.

That said, as much as it bothers me and I don't believe that line of reasoning, the fact is that's how the title of the game is written on the box, so that is the title of the game, so I just deal with it. It's their game, they get to title it how they like.

No campaign no buy and the zombie mode never really click to me

@ReanSchwarzer7 I agree with you they probably didn't know how to write the correct number or they aren't even using the roman numbers, but maybe we'll know when they release Call of Duty: Black Ops IIIII
And I recently watched B: the beginning a series on Netflix that said that the number IIII was rare and mostly used on clocks only

Can't wait! Never played campaign so i'm pumped hoping they've funnelled those resources into the other modes and not just cut them to save costs.

I’ve always wanted to get invested in the lore of the zombies mode, but it’s been all over the place, and even more so here.

This whole game just seems so desperate to please everyone that it’s offputting...feels like a game driven by focus-group testing more than ever, rather than a singluar, deep package.

I own every Call of Duty game up to this point, and this is the first one that’s really struggling to convince me to buy it.

@j_Colgy Yeah i agree those what is it 3 /4 Zombiemaps is money spent on the customer not line their pockets. 😂 🤣

Ah the game is cheaper now oh wait it isnt. And they lock content behind a paywall with €129 pricetag. 🤔🤨

Oh ofcourse they have 20 maps or more at launch no thats not it. 🤔

No lootcrates, no microtransactions not that either they have them all. 😑

Oh yes its Activision they just ripp you off and people still 👏 them. Must be great to be a multinational in this time and age.

@get2sammyb Nice Celine reference there!
COD hasn't been for me in a long time and when I did play them it was only for the single player elements as I suck so hard at the online component and that I can't stand the spawn, live a second or two and die by the hand of some 12 year old from across the other side of the map.

I like the alternate zombie single player campaign in black ops 3 compared to it's real campaign, the zombie campaign story actually more interesting/not confusing compared to bo3 real campaign, it's too bad there's no single player campaign for this year cod

People are actually defending this B'S practice..... smh no campaign no buy. That easy.

Zombies is my favourite part of CoD. Its the best Horde Mode and offers a lot more than just see what round you can survive to. I fell in love with Zombies when it was a simple and unlimited Horde mode as a 'bonus' in World at War and have ALL the CoD Zombie Maps to date...

IIII is the correct and original way of Roman Numerals as it was probably derived from using 'Tally' marks with markers (V and X for example) to easily show groups - rather than count up IIIIIIIII. That being said 5 has been written IIIII and 50 has been written XXXXX. 18 has been written as XVIII (10+5+3), XIIX (10 + 2 less than 10) and IIXX (2 less than 10+10). VIIII also was (and still is) 'correct' for 9 too Using IIII or VIIII is considered the 'additive' format of Roman Numerals. The Subtractive (as IV means 1 less than 5 or IX meaning 1 less than 10) came later because it was easily confused with III, was easier to carve and became a lot easier for 'clock' manufacturers too but there are still some clocks that use IIII for 4 whilst also using IX for 9 proving that both additive and subtractive methods can be used simultaneously.

Anyway - enough of the history lesson, BO4 is obviously using the 'additive' Roman Numeral method for artistic reasons but that is still just as equally valid as IV - perhaps more so and much more in keeping with 'Zombies' who always used IIII to indicate round 4 - ok so they then used the bar-gate tally system with the line through the IIII to indicate round 5 before reverting to the 'Arabic' (or Hindu-Arabic) numerals we are all familiar with (1234567890).

Both are correct and some ancient Texts actually use both additive and subtractive methods in the same document.

no thank, i won't buy this. sorry Activision.. they got rid of single player campigan mode for stupid multiplayer online, battle royale then not worth 60 bucks

I lost interest long ago in zombies. Remember maps like Nacht der Untoten? Remember how simple and fun that map was? This overly complicated, unnecessarily laden with lore and Easter eggs zombies mode of today is incredibly off putting. I might even still consider this game if it had a campaign. I got Black Ops III for that alone and loved it. This has nothing to offer me.

It’s not for me, but my son loves the zombie maps. I watched him go through multiple progressions and Easter eggs, and it’s pretty impressive. Not for me, but impressive all the same.

There was a time that I would buy Cod and all DLC because of Zombies...but I think it lost a bit of magic after the Black Ops map pack! That one was perfect for me!
Nowadays it gets crazier and crazier and the devs get lazier and lazier (1 map on WW2 loool)! But hey...better than having only multiplayer and no singleplayer story!

Ive always considered 4 to be the correct way to write 4.

Maybe Im old fashioned.

I always really enjoyed cod single player campaigns and always hated zombie modes lol.

@Flaming_Kaiser hence why i said "hoping".
Quantity is not everything, i'm hoping they pump it into the quality of the other modes. That is what WWII was lacking imo, the multiplayer was rushed trash because they focused everything on the campaign being "realistic" lol.
Treyarch never disappoint.
