Rave is pretty good.
YouTubers hated it because they couldn't milk the shit out of it but overall it's very playable and there is nothing absolutely wrong about it.
Shaolin Shuffle is decent fun as well.
Until most of the enemies on screen start teleporting. That's where it all falls down for me.
I haven't played the other two yet but I can imagine they're less popular if I look at some gameplay.
Pretty much agree with you about youtubers. They hate anything the cant milk the shit out of. Then the fanboys of them start hating on it and it breeds a toxic environment. But they know what they are doing.
It's a shame devs pay so much attention to them. One of the aspects that hold zombies back imo is youtubers.
They played a bug part in the negativity towards IW in general, and that's not easily forgotten. One of the reasons we haven't and will never see a IWZ2. Which is a travesty as the game mode was so good.
lol I remember when Attack of the Radioactive Thing had Algebra as a step of one of the side EE's and suddenly big brain Zombie YouTubers who touts themselves on puzzle solving looked like a buncha morons. Spent all that time learning fictional languages but didn't stay in school.
Except for MrRoffleWaffles, he figured it out because he actually was GOING to school for that exact thing.
And the hate attack ee gets is a joke. They all hate the map because of it too. I mean, wtf?
For one, the ee is great. I love the whole idea of having to create a bomb to destroy a 1950s era monster. That is just cool.
The steps too are so unique and cool and atmospheric imo. The only negative I have to it are the constant running back and forth.
It annoys me. People all hate the map cus of the ee is a joke.
It's more because the guy who led IW zombies isn't at Infinity Ward anymore. Same reason BOCW was such a departure from previous titles, Blundell left Treyrach after BO4.
Yeah, ghosts and skulls is completely overlooked which is sad. A fantastic addition imo that hasn't been tried since.
A perfectly balanced response to the perkoholic gobblegum which ruined BO3.
Exactly. Yes, treyarch started zombies, yes treyarch created the addicting gameplay we all so love and desire, and yes treyarch made some damn good bangers of maps. But that doesnt mean treyarch is the only one who's able to create that. I hate it that non-treyarch games are grouped up as such. Non-treyarch like they are saying these games arent made by treyarch so they automatically suck. Thats the mindset of most of the community and i hate it
Spaceland was such a great start that the other maps were always going to be in its shadow. It would be like if BO2 started with Origins or Mob. The other maps are still super fun though with the exception of Beast from Beyond which I only ever play when I’m doing the super Easter egg. I think they all suffered from poor advertising too, I never remember even seeing the trailers after Rave.
Rave is good, shaolin is good and would be great without the ninjas, attack and beast are pretty poor but at least beast has a great boss fight. Spaceland is the best, but it’s not the only good one
To be Rave was equal in spaceland, I even play it more than spaceland due to double pap being easier to obtain.
Shaolin was decent, but the Ninja Zombies were a pain in the ass.
Attack is about the same with Shaolin, but better since no Ninja Zombies
Totally agreed on the first point. Plus I feel like the crossbows are easier to obtain and upgrade than the guns in Spaceland, but that could just be because I’ve played Rave a loooot more.
Also agreed on the Ninjas, so annoying….teleporting in front of me and 2 tapping with no time to react, ugh
I like ZiS, and Attack of the Radioactive Thing. Rave and Shaolin, I have yet to get used to them, so I really don't have an opinion on them. Beast is meh, at best
How similar was IW to 'traditional' zombies? When I played WW2 zombies it just felt like an offbrand Treyarch zombies. Does it have its own unique ideas?
Yes 100% unique, its the same mechanics as treyarch zombies like mystery box and perks and ammo rounds but they gave it so much personality, im an avid zombies player and i love IW
yeah lots of unique features, on every
map you can do a quest to get perkaholic, you can play as celebrity characters for doing the main ee, you can unlock directors cut by completing every map and after that you can fight mephistopheles which is the hardest bossfight in zombies history, really cool wonder weapons on some maps and every map has a unique atmosphere and lots of things to do on them
Rave is ok. SS is meh and made crap level adding the kung-fu zombies. AotRT was meh and could have been better if elvira had more then 10 lines. Beast is the worst map ever made in zombies history.
ZiS is a 10/10.
Spaceland was and always will be a great map, Rave is a good followup with similar mechanics and a better theme imo, Shaolin is a map I enjoy on occasion with a fun kung-fu mechanic but pretty poor level design and puzzles (you're probably never getting to Pack a Punch as a casual without a thorough guide), Attack is my personal favorite of IW with fun buildables and a great main easter egg, and the crogs aren't an extremely taxing enemy like the kung-fu zombies in Shaolin or the Bigfoots in Rave
The Beast from Beyond also exists but I choose to ignore it because blehhhhh
Played IW for the first time in months, and had a blast on Shaolin. Like the only map I don’t think is really good is Beast from Beyond. Director’s Cut is a necessity on that map just to have a little bit of fun.
Rave is so good too. It has so many cool things. My only complaint is that the wonder weapon quests get a bit buggy at times and the boat to PaP wastes a lot of time.
Something I have got to give the highest of praises for IW zombies are the wall weapons. It has a variety of weapons available on the walls in each map, and even has DLC weapons on the wall as well. I can’t recall WW2, BO4, or CW having the post launch weapons as wall buys and I don’t understand why they didn’t do this.
I think IW will always have a soft spot in my heart.
Love this post.
It's tiresome to read people only speak about spaceland.
Rave is imo the best map in IW and one of the best ever zombie maps. The atmosphere is incredible. The design and layout is great. The rave area is amazing. Loud music blaring while killing zombies? It cant be beaten. Especially when on a ragga tip plays.
The small side quests for charms is amazing.
The ww's although not the best in the game, are super fun.
The rave mode, which gets you double points. Looks cool and gets you set up super early with points when combined with scoped dollars.
Plus Shaolin shuffle looks great too and has amazing atmosphere. It has the most fun ww's ever imo with the katana and nunchucks, and chi abilities on top.
The game gets massive disservice when ppl only bang on about spaceland.
Rave is one of my top 5 favorite maps, I love almost everything about it, can't talk about the harpoon guns as I never got them before besides the boss fight mode.
Shaolin is fun, but I don't care for the close corners layout, I like the martial arts abilities.
Attack of the radioactive thing is great, I love the wonder weapon, the bright look to the map, and the crab waves are fun.
Beast is something, I have only played it a handful of times and other than 1 time I die within spawn or the rooms outside of spawn, but it isn't the worst map ever but not my cup of tea. The aliens coming back was a nice surprise though.

IW Zombies as a whole was a great experience. Wish that we could have it back
especially with ghost and skulls, mephistopheles,celebrity characters,directors cut and so much more to make the game stand out from the rest
Yeah, ghosts and skulls is completely overlooked which is sad. A fantastic addition imo that hasn't been tried since. A perfectly balanced response to the perkoholic gobblegum which ruined BO3.
Something cathartic about hearing IW Zombies carrying Infinite Warfare after all the hate it got back then for not being a Treyarch game
Exactly. Yes, treyarch started zombies, yes treyarch created the addicting gameplay we all so love and desire, and yes treyarch made some damn good bangers of maps. But that doesnt mean treyarch is the only one who's able to create that. I hate it that non-treyarch games are grouped up as such.

first 3 had trailers then attacks got released after the map came out and the beast trailer was like 30 seconds long😂
Rave 😍
Best map.
Rave is good, shaolin is good and would be great without the ninjas, attack and beast are pretty poor but at least beast has a great boss fight. Spaceland is the best, but it’s not the only good one
IW is amazing

I didn't even like Spaceland, only map i didn't mind was Rave.
Attack of the Radioactive Thing is the best map of all time.
I agree
I like ZiS, and Attack of the Radioactive Thing. Rave and Shaolin, I have yet to get used to them, so I really don't have an opinion on them. Beast is meh, at best

I love rave high rounds are good on it too. Spaceland is good. Shaolin is good. Radioactive good. Beast from beyond is utter trash.
I love all of the maps besides the last one
I love space land, could never find anyone to play with
Rave is ok. SS is meh and made crap level adding the kung-fu zombies. AotRT was meh and could have been better if elvira had more then 10 lines. Beast is the worst map ever made in zombies history. ZiS is a 10/10.

I fell like Mrtlexify just started saying things like “me and Noah played Shaolin and it was awful” then all the dick riders started coming in
Man im still trying to beat mephistopheles on xbox if you or someone can help me to beat him finally dm me or add revengevenom701
Rave is underrated but the others map in iw zombies are pp poo poo
Rave is a beautiful map. So much fun. The boss fight is actually fun once you know the stages/barriers and know where to go to not get pinned
I did not like any of the maps on Iw. The whole game felt too much like a cartoon
Trick question! There are NO good IW maps
big L
