Meanwhile Blundell directed Der Reise.Īlso Jimmy made some great maps, but he made a few terrible ones as well. We don't know who did SnN or Verruckt, but we know the Waw maps were outsourced to RavenSoftware so it's likely they didn't have much of a director at the time. Jess Snyder headed the project during WaW development and left Treyarch shortly after the games release. Black Ops 1 will always be my favorite game in the franchise for Zombies though.īut Jimmy didn't direct any of the WaW maps, he was only an animator at the time (it wasn't until the production of black ops that he became the creative designer for zombies). So I think what we have here is a fundamental misunderstanding from both teams after Black Ops 1 as to how to not only design fun and mechanically sound maps, but also an enjoyable and engaging story.Įdit: Mob of the Dead is my favorite map of all time even though I think Black Ops 2 overall is forgettable as far as Zombies is concerned. And I think I speak for most people here when I say that the story of Black Ops 3 Zombies fell a bit short of the mark it needed to.

With Black Ops 3 now having the Black Ops 2 Campaign Team as the Zombies Team, they now have to not only design good maps, but also tell a good story. The reason why the Black Ops 2 Campaign Team was able to make such high quality maps is because they were able to take the criticisms that the Zombies Team was currently facing, fix the problems, and come out with very solid one-offs while the Zombies Team stuck to their guns with a new direction and had to tell a complete story, but failed to recapture the magic of Black Ops 1. Look at it this way: The Black Ops 2 Zombies Team was the same team which made the World at War and Black Ops maps, and those are some of the favorites of the franchise.
