This was a really great watch. It’s such a pity that IW didn’t catch on. I felt like Spaceland’s core design even managed to capture a magic that Treyarch lost during the Blundell era-a focus on the map and location being the “main character” I actually greatly preferred Spaceland’s approach over the Blundell stuff which got a bit too “fan fiction-y melodrama” for my taste and too fixated on the player characters

Rizzo, Is That You? What Have You Done With Stanley?

Shoalin Shuffle is personally one of my very favourite maps in zombies history. I personally like the fact the characters play their film roles for each map. Adds to the atmosphere.

Broooo whatt?!? I want a sequel to this so bad. I think the story was good despite Willard contradicting himself. I want to know what’s next. I enjoyed the gameplay and all the Easter eggs. And directors cut and just everything. They reward you big time for doing all the Easter eggs. Unpopular opinion, I hope we get a sequel

This game I love and I have all 88 achievements for it which just shows how much I loved this zombies, every calling card too for zombies

i mean i really enjoyed this game for the most part. i think it’s kind of hard to stack it up to treyarch zombies. there are plenty of ways to get ammo in spaceland… and with the storyline hiccups, i think this game is supposed to be kind of taken lightly and as a joke, as compared to a totally serious treyarch experience.

Your longest produced video yet mate, it's been a ride watching you develop this thing, and it's great to see you finish it!

This is a pretty decent review. Just felt the constant back and forth with Blood of the Dead in the Spaceland portion overstayed its welcome in the end.

This was a very high quality review. Very epic, did kek.

When bringing up story items like radios and ciphers, Rave in the Redwoods is the first map in which it begins to flesh out more of the story and Willard's backstory. Just thought that was something worth knowing.

Great video, but one thing you didn’t mention was that Rave mode in RitR grants you a permanent double points while active. It’s great for early rounds and point collection, however as you said once you’re set up there’s no reason to use it especially due to the slasher spawning after round 10

while i disagree with some of the video, i really enjoyed this analysis. I really like that you mentioned the horrible drop rates on ZIS.

This video along with your one on exo zombies were phenomenal as good a zombies review as i have seen keep up the great work man

The artstyle & tone of the zombies mode reminds me of Total Drama Island

“Part 1, zombies in space jam” *avagodro boss theme plays* And I’ve subscribed!

Infinite warfare is an amazing zombie experience. Way more satisfying now a days. Probably the best cod zombies after bo3. After IW , cod zombies went downhill tremendously

I like watching these little channels grow good job!

You probably didn't know this at the time you made this, but rewind grenades completely refill your ammo. Making your point about "not having enough ammo on Spaceland" completely false. One thing you missed in the reward section is that on Attack when you finish the Easter egg you get infinite fate and fortune card refills for that match. Not a great reward, but there is something other than Elvira.

“Extremely difficult easter egg” I absolutely suck at any and all zombies. I’ve been playing for years and I’m still not good. However, Zombies In SpaceLand could not be any easier lol. You find three parts, wait a round to build it. And within 5 rounds your ready for the boss fight. (I’m factoring you get lucky and pull a wonder weapon from the box instead of building one cutting lots of time and steps)

Man you did an amazing job with this. IW zombies is still the best call of duty zombies game ever!! Even after watching your whole video you can’t shake the amazing job they did. Absolute masterpiece. You don’t even get anything in any other zombies game like directors cut. Such a legend.

Very good review, lack of views frustrates me!

Bro I still think “he now relies on the courage and strength of his allies as much as they do his” is the perfect sum up for all of primus, by the end of their story they were loving brothers, and sadly, one of them had to know how it all ended, guess we’re glad it wasn’t Dempsey, considering anybody but Nikolai would’ve probably cracked under that pressure

my favorite part of IW zombies was when the timeline of tragedy was invented

I love you Stanley!!!

About a possible continuation of the story: it could have been them teaming up with Willard to start solving the zombie problem for good. After all, they're still stuck in a microverse with zombies and the other microverses are still around too, so killing Mephistopheles did solve the big menace but didn't solve the other situations he created. The writers could easily add that before being trapped in Spaceland, Willard wanted to tell them that he was in contact with someone (it can be an angelic figure, another devil or even a "personality" like the ones they met in the various movies that knows about dark rituals and has theories on how to solve the situations). The new series of maps could be: the first one the team going to the figure that is in one of the microverses (one they were yet to explore) and make contact with them, the next one some map where they're in search of a mcguffin or a part of it that will help undo the microverses, then they need to do a step of the ritual in another one and so on. If an antagonist needs to be around, they could meet in the first map a survivor who either is trying to harness the ability to control the zombies and warp and reshape the microverses or, even more badass, a survivor or a whole team of survivors that enjoy the endless slaughter and doesn't want it to end so they actively try to sabotage our team at every turn. At the end, if they want to end it for good, they can have the team undo the microverses and rid their universe of the zombie menace for good. Kill the survivor(s) or establish a solid alliance with the angel/devil. Have Willard sacrifice himself at some point to allow them to do the final step of the ritual and atone for the souls he sacrificed during the years, etc. The themes of the maps can be a whole lot of other movies: from action hero movies a la Die Hard/Demolition Man, to movies where they're fighting "androids bent on killing humanity", to movies set in medieval times or Western-themed with a special pool of weapons to boot and a focus on melee with Zweihanders, Morningstars or, in the case of Western, Tomahawks and Bayonets. The very last map should be a WW2-themed movie to both tie up the story and also reference how the entire zombie mode started with a small part of the map referencing Nacht der Untoten either with a structure or with a movie poster of it. Once again, the writers can easily do this and, if they learn from their mistakes and implement both a casual guided easter egg and hard easter egg and make them make sense contextually to what is happening in the maps, it can easily become one of the best zombie modes. ...and of course, players should be able to pack a punch right away and double pack a punch should be acquired half-way through the casual easter egg, and Wonder Weapons should be very powerful when unlocked and become overpowered (like the Thundergun, Apothecon Servant or Ray-gun MKII) when their full potential is unlocked after completing the hard easter egg.

IW is what got me hooked on zombies. My first map was Der Eisendrache, but I was more of a casual player during BO3 It's when IW came out when I realized how cool and unique this mode is.

To be completely fair (as fair as you can be with how awfully written BFB is) Beast actually *does* continue the Extinction storyline in the worst way possible; Cliff-notes version: Samantha Cross doesn’t end up double crossing humanity and tries to help them rebuild The Medusa Device, instead of originally only affecting Cryptids in a certain radius, was retconned to affecting the entire planet, thus eradicating the threat The planet BFB is set on (can’t be bothered to remember) is discovered to house Cryptids, and upon disembarking the shuttle, Samantha Cross and the other humans are eventually hunted and killed by the Cryptids (who were revealed to either have been truly aliens the whole time or just managed to somehow colonize other planets, can’t remember) So in short, the impact of CIF Team 1’s sacrifice and Samantha’s presumed influence of the Cryptids didn’t matter, cause humanity got saved in the end and the entire team on the shuttle was eventually killed by *more* Cryptids

This Zombies mode had so much potential. If you find IW in a bargain bin, it's worth it for Spaceland alone. The season pass for the rest? Not really Let me elaborate. Season pass grants you access to the unlock method for Director's Cut as well as the other maps. Rave is good, so is Attack, Shuffle is only good for the first 20 rounds, and Beast from Beyond is irredeemable. All of the maps are fundamentally flawless in some critical way

10:32 DAMN that PDex impression is good 0-0

Keep up the great work

47:32 actually your wrong, if i remember correctly, there's a tool tip stating that there's a large hold out in Europe, so technically the story isn't over

Its a testament to this game that I didnt know there was a 5th map until this video. And I obsess over all zombies modes in CoD. Even Exo Zombies I know the story to and about it, but for this one I guess my brain just turned off and didnt even find anything out until now.

Tbh Attack is fun as a casual map but awful for ee. But I totally agree what you say about the lighting

I havent watched this video yet, but I have just started your ww2 review so I have high expectations! Anyhow, I just hope you dont diss one of my favorite zombies too too much. Hope you grow your channel!!!!!!

I remember this video after seeing a thing on reddit talkeding about this game overall, time to go rewatch this from 4-5 years ago when I watched it :D hopefully youhave been doing well

Fire video keep making bangers for the Zombies comunity

The video was really well made, and it looked like you put a ton of effort into it! Definitely enjoyed your style of presenting it, and I’m looking forward to your other videos as well (just watched your exo zombies video too)! However, I feel like you couldn’t look at the game-mode for what it was. It never tried to be a story experience that made literary sense and tied all the events together (Treyarch stories in themselves are pretty bad too if you ignore the gameplay), it just wanted to be a fun gameplay experience and emulate what BO1 did. For example, blowing up the Earth or the time-travelling lost city were explained by a shoestring at best (before BO2 and BO3), but they have some of the most unique and fun experiences of any zombies games. IW was more in the same in my opinion, and I think it did that amazingly. I thoroughly enjoyed everything the game had to offer, although I might be biased since BO3 zombies was so bad for me that I nearly quit CoD for good because of it. The game seemed to take a gameplay-first approach with just filling the gaps with a barebones story that was not really that great, but that wasn’t the point. I would liken IW to be more similar to Doom Eternal, a similarly gameplay based game with a very weak story but amazing set pieces, gameplay, and boss fights. I loved how IW didn’t try to be pretentious, didn’t try to be a great retelling of a battle between gods and monsters, or a multiverse spanning epic, but just a fun comic-like story which was willing to take itself lightly, like how BO1 was to a large extent. Each map offered something amazing, like Rave with all the charms that have fun, small Easter eggs that give you fun, small rewards, or attack with possibly the best buildable traps in the game, and the best perkaholic Easter egg of any game, that being the ghosts and skulls machines through all the various maps, which add so much replay value to me. And all of this is not even mentioning all the lobby music Easter eggs, the weekly bounties, the different variants IW allows you to get to spice up your game, and so much more. It is to me the second most fun zombies game in terms of gameplay after BO1. I also think that your points about difficulty are a little overblown, but maybe that’s just coming from me because I still speedrun this game and do a lot of high rounds. For example, on spaceland, you can place the speakers in a certain order to guarantee certain colours on the simon says step, or how for the heart step on shaolin, the nunchucks can make the step much easier than just shooting the zombies without needing explosive touch, or how on attack, you can know. All the numbers by just knowing one of the numbers. Again, might be a nitpick, but felt like mentioning that to me at least, the game feels balanced with just the right amount of difficulty but also ease of access. Again, maybe it’s just me who thinks that way considering BO3 pre-ZC was my least favourite zombies game and I could not find any fun in it apart from The Giant (a remake so not technically BO3) and DE at times. I felt the story was awful and messy and the maps prioritised Easter eggs over actual gameplay which made for no replay value unless you enjoy the main EE (take ZnS for example). BO3 felt like Blundell going overboard with the story and forgetting what made zombies good in the first place, while still being unfocused and unsure about his own vision. I liked the chaos story in BO4 and think that’s where Blundell could do his vision justice by having a fresh start. BO3 to me was an unpolished, messy travesty, and I know I’m in the minority for thinking that. Your video actually kinda motivated me to make one of my own about IW, I might even make an essay on it sometime down the line. You definitely have found a subscriber in me!

44:44 my idea for why Willard had a 180 in behaviour in the end of beast is because in the beginning (from the start of space land until the end of beast) he wanted them dead to appease methostofiles (which might explain his frustration with them escaping space land because he did not realize how strong the cast is while thinking that he might be punished with death for letting souls escape) but when the cast escaped beast he realized he might have a opportunity to beat him once and for all and end the suffering of everyone he had killed he’s just being forced to do this against his own will that is why I think he went all nice during the cutscene

Infinite Warfare's zombies is how I feel about Black Ops 4. I really wanted to like it as a whole, but it sorta consistently fell short, especially during the latter half of the map releases.

I feel u for sure. ZISL is the only ee I did on this game. Did it quads with someone who had DC unlocked. And some others. It was rediculous. But yes the storyline is so important.

So when you were talking about the zombie spawn problem that was in bo4 at 14:46 I would like to mention that I'm pretty sure SoE has this problem usually when you're entering another district

that pointdexter impression was spot on

I love how ur voice just changed from normally speaking to *ｐａｒｔ 1 ｚｏｍｂｉｅｓ ｉｎｓｐａｃｅｊａｍ* But this was a well thought out review and it made me feel like I was watching Mr Rizzo

I feel like the R-Rated Scooby Doo vibe IW had really makes it stand out uniquely from Treyarch and I wish IW had continued on that for a follow up game

I’ve watched this video countless times

I looked at the views and subs and I am suprised, this video was beautiful. The quality and length of the video is great. You deserve more subs

I woulf highly recommend you to upload this video again but by parts. I think that a series of videos (each one of each map) would recieve a lot of more views that a longer one. A shorter video has a better chance to appear in the recommendations page. I really like your content and I woulf be happy if more people could access to it :D

Do I love your videos they're so good

Well put together

It seems like ive found a little known gem

I wish you had gone over some of the glitches in these maps, some of them are off the chain! Seriously, some of the most broken glitches I've ever seen in Zombies.

here i am in 2023 practicing my speed runs on Spaceland and watching this. top tier essay

Stanley I have a genuine question, if you have Xbox and I get IW again can you help me get directors cut, never had the money as a kid with family issues to get them so I only know the steps to soaceland

"A rave taking place in the redwood forest isn't as exciting of a location as a theme park" I don't even have to explain how insanely wrong of a statement this is, its lunacy speaks for itself

I remember thinking it just took place in a theme park and had nothing to do with it being a movie.

I thought the lighting and colors on Attack were intentional in an attempt to capture the look of 50's B movies. I can understand why people don't like it, hell even I can admit it looks really bad in some areas, but I kinda like it. It just stands out to me when I think of unique map vibes.

Super well done! Keep it up

i completely agree with the maps going down in quality over time, but i wish u covered the card system because even tho they are harder to get then gobblegums i still like them a lot. either way great video i really enjoyed it.

9:02 (im typing as i watch) i would like to assume some of the missing story parts or "why these characters know what theyre doing" is because theyre in a movie. Yes i do understand that they were sacrificed into the movie compared to a studio set, but if its for a movie, there are probably magical cue cards directing them, or maybe they got scripts ahead of time before being sacrificed. If you look at the missing story elements as a movie, it makes more sense. Not the answer we want but it helps make sense

You're pretty good 👍 keep it up

And up next subway sandwich the funniest part of the video

I didn't like any dlc maps on IW but maaan, Zombies in spaceland is like a top 3 favorite zombies map for me. I have about 140 hours in IW and at least half of that was exclusively in spaceland

Is zombies in spaceland fiction in the zombies lore? Like, in terms of cod zombies, are the zombies on that map actors for a movie? I don't really get it since I haven't played infinite warfare.

37:49 I had no idea there was another dlc till 2 months after its launch 😭

I got a cool idea they should’ve done with Willard. He sold his soul to the devil for success and if he does not make a movie that requires sacrifices every 8 years he and everyone who watched his movies will be sent to hell so logically he would want to kill the cast but if they survive he would get worried about what happens therefore logically explaining why he wants them dead and then begs for their help at the end.

As an extinction lover I hated how they brought back the cryptids like how tf does a little scout down you in 3 hits the cryptids were not faithful to extinction a rhino should be atleast a 2 hit down without jug and the "dog rounds" should've just been the scouts if they kept the 3 hit down

I really enjoyed the first 2 maps but skipped shaolin because I found it hard, I beat the Radioactive thing Easter egg after I bought it on my friends ps4 after a hangover but forgot about the last dlc map, I would actually like to see a continuation of this story, I think they tried way to hard to over complicate the maps just for the sake of making the EE's complicated, Spaceland and Rave were deep enough, they could've chilled out with the next 2 maps and just made something more like kino and buried. ( I have no clue how to fix the last map cuz I skipped it )

10:47 that’s one of poindedters quotes 😂

One of the best zombie games in my opinion, I still play it! Beast is the only difficult one and the worse by far. Terrible map

7:15 well actually they are literally changed to fit the stereotype. for example in DLC 3 there are quotes that imply that they literally can't cuss. So in DLC 4 they express the relief of that no longer being the case. and with that same logic... well. everything kinda falls in place.

I just got iw from a friend and spaceland is now one of my favorite maps

Very well made video!

IW is one of my favorite zombies modes. It has its flaws, it very clearly does, but there are very well made maps underneath. Even though I don't agree with you, great video man, keep it up

Loved this.

too be fair i always thought that if they made willard need specifically those 4 because they were able to beat the eggs something no one was able to do before them would explain why he switched up from wanting to kill them the excuse could of been since they won his soul was damned unless he teams up with them stop the devil or escape the pocket dimension’s something they can only do bc they beat the super ee

This game mode maybe could have been successful if it came out now due to how thirsty people are for a quality zombies experience. We were coming off of BO3 (widely considered the best CoD zombies of all time) so the community was definitely spoiled at the time. I definitely think the game had potential, but wasn’t willing to give it a chance back then

mike hawk moment.

Yoooooooooo I watched this vid like so much times

Shaolin shuffle is one of the best zombies maps ever made

Problem for me is that theres a few super op modifiers for few guns so it makes the first 30 rounds childs play. The easter eggs are all easy to do once you learn them but takes a lot of time to even understand. I still enjoy the game more than any newer release.

HELP: can somebody link the background music (personally i want to know the shaolin shuffle one the most) as i love these kind of songs. also love the video you just earned a subscriber :D

i know this is late but I really liked infinite warfare zombies, it was fun and unique. the story wasnt for everyone but I personally really liked it and would buy the game over again (on sale) to play zombies

I think Zombies in Spaceland can be a top 10 map of all time arguably, very enjoyable. However I don't think they should try to feel like a Treyarch map, because they aren't, they should be something different from that.

Rave mode gives you double points, which helps a lot without DC, especially with the double points power up Edit: although the ee is super easy, it just helps get set up faster Edit 2: Also Pam sucks on the solo boss fight against the rat king, I can never forgive her for watching me die

44:30 actually Willard does hint on the final boss MANY times and not to mention on Radio theres quotes on WHY he chose them for their roles they are quotes of them around and he does also quote the name "mephistopheles" on rave theres also TONS of lore behind the characters including Willard but yeahh I dunno why Willard did all that just to be proud of them for surviving, the only thing I can think of is that he had no hope that they would even survive Zombies in spaceland and he had to act as villainous cus Meph is and always was watching him and the crew so he had to have that persona but slowly as he sees the crew complete all the tasks he gained hope that maybe they can take over Meph together he does hint that he truly cares for our characters in death quotes and hidden lore so thats my only thing I do feel like he did some questionable thing like in Rave we hear that Willard put her own daughter and her bf on the movie RAVE outta anger for her being with her bf I think, and in Shaolin we learn her name is Winona wyler and YES she does die and on Radioactive theres CD or casets with Willard talking about how he regrets doing the things he did and he wishes that the crew can win their fight against the obstacal he is forced to put them through. The sequal couldve been that meph was truly never defeated since we just see him vanish so they couldve easily faked it or maybe they try to find a way out of the miniverse they are stuck in and find another devil one higher then Meph but I dunno the cliffhanger was done so terribly XD

Also I have director's cut YAAAAY

is it not established that these are willards old movies and that some of the characters have seen them and would therefore know what to do

Make the chemistry step sound like it’s the hardest thing in the world. My 9 year old cousin finished the chemistry step sub 20 minutes bro is just yapping cus he’s not good enough for these creative Easter eggs

Tip. You get more money when you use the rave mode on redwoods

After round 8 with no Jugg and you can burn a whole clip on just two zombies.

We need IW2 zombies even if it's not part of the IW series...

We need iw zombies part 2 it was on a cliffhanger

Very good review, enjoyed every minute. I'm really disappointed that we didnt get a sequel as I really loved the characters and story but they could have used more depth. Also loved the themes on the maps, specifically spaceland, rave and attack.

I’ve loved it so far, I’ve played and beat rave, shaolin, and not spaceland and haven’t want to play the others. Three good maps is enough for me to say it’s a good game

it wouldve been a better idea for the slasher in rave to spawn in wether or not you use rave mode that way theres no consequense for using it

Zombie in space land you and dexter have the same voice. Nothing wrong with that at all. Thought is this the guy that did his voice or what. 😆 🤣 😂 I enjoy your videos and content as well

comparing radioactive thing to dead of the night honestly feels like an insult, dead may be a very fetchquesty map, but it's got so much over radioactive thing. 1. it looks better, 2. it's layout is leags better, 3. it's characters are far more likable, 4. and most of the items while yes fetchquestly, feel so much more beneficial and worth getting

while their is a valid criticism them knowing the steps would be weird but if you play with four players their is more of a conventional easter egg with dialogue and what not also david gives hints to the crew telling them what to do

I think you just saved me money idk how much. Glad I was skeptical from the beginning in 2016 when it released. Now sittin here wanting a new zombies experience and can see I’m not gettin it from infinite warfare. Hopefully advanced warfare is different.
