And the maps introduced in the Black Ops games look great as well, particularly Shangri-La and Ascension, with their keen design.īut on top of that, Treyarch has incorporated some features that actually fit very well into these maps. I particularly found myself enjoying a return to World At War's old territory with Verrucky and Nacht Der Untoten, as well as others. Other maps in the game are a lot of fun as well. Some may disagree as they're getting chowed down on by a Crawler, but to each their own. The ambience alone is funky and a lot of fun to run through, and, I tell you, there's nothing uglier than a lunar death at the hands of space zombies. That's because you actually get to battle zombies on the frickin' moon while unlocking new sections of the base and picking up new gear that can help you make a difference in wiping them out. Perhaps my favorite of the bunch, as it's always been, is Moon. But a variety of maps remain here, and fans of the series will no doubt want to dig in.

Granted, some of the bigger content is missing, like Call of the Dead, Mob of the Dead and others that feature top-notch talent, and that's kind of a bummer considering just how much fun those were. The pack includes eight different Zombies maps in all, including favorites from World At War, Black Ops and Black Ops II. The developers did a tremendous job importing these maps into the Black Ops III universe, and, despite a few nitpicks, it gives you plenty of reasons to jump back in and lay waste to the undead with your friends. It's something that really caught a lot of fans off guard – but in a good way.īut here's the more surprising thing about this – Zombies Chronicles is pretty damn good. But Treyarch decided to surprise everyone from out of left field with a Zombies Chronicles pack, one that features some of the best Zombies-oriented maps that it's produced over the past few years. In the midst of, well, pretty much everything else happening in the Call of Duty universe, between releases of new content for Infinite Warfare and all the hype going into Call of Duty: WWII, the last thing we really expected was a new pack to come out for Call of Duty: Black Ops III, Activision's 2015 release.
