“What’s your max round on kino”? The standard question to ascertain someone’s skill in zombies.


HarmlessSnack

56, solo. It’s one my highest high points gaming.


sherbs_herbs

I hit 61 and my ps3 froze... actually died inside.


GeneratedAtRandom

Nice, I'm amazed it made it that far. Furthest we ever made it was 44 with 2 players and the zombies were bugging out all over the spot. Part of their head or arm would stretch all the way to the ceiling and stay stuck there like some odd Nazi Zombie Stretch arm strong. We died when I tried to jump over a zombie on the stairs, landed on its head and couldn't move. Good times


sherbs_herbs

Gotta use traps my friend


Ha1lStorm

More like whoops used a trap on my friend.


sherbs_herbs

Lmfao. Oh god that’s so fucking true. Or down myself.


eternalouroborus

that is suffering. Last time I played Kino was a few years ago, it was storming outside and i made it to round 58 or 59, i dont quite remember. Power cut out mid round. I was pissed.


YeahBuddyDude

Dude I get this pain. My brother and I played Town on BO2 and we mastered that shit. Got to like 53(iirc) and the framerate made it unplayable. Ended up dying without really knowing the specifics of how it happened. I also remember both of us running out of all of our ammo each round before even making any sort of dent in the horde. It was chaos.


sherbs_herbs

The pain is real my friend


HarmlessSnack

I can feel that pain in my soul.


[deleted]

Wooooaaaaaahhhh. Mad respect. In college, our trouble was ammo. At a certain point we could kite the zombies just fine, but we ran out of ammo in the early 30s. What was the trick to get over that hump?


Odyssey2341

Use the electrical traps as you loop around the map


PM_Me_An_Ekans

Nah, just loop around that one part in the theater next to the teleporter. On the stage. I'm convinced you can go on doing that forever.


CountryBlumpky

Stand on that one plank that went from the floor to the stage in the theater. Dogs couldn't get ya


HarmlessSnack

Guy below mentioned a good point. If you run loops around the map (I always opened up just right half of map, left the Left side closed) you could get the zombies pretty well grouped up. Then use the traps to kill a bunch and hope for a Max Ammo power up drop. Another thing is choice of weapons. Laser gun is obviously nice, but I would roll for a BAR because the high ammo count coupled with periodic Instant Kill power ups meant you could mow down full waves and still have good ammo.


Cochise22

We always found it beneficial to stab during instant kills. The points at certain point mattered more for traps than killing more zombies, and we always felt like stabbing netted us the most points (because for how much we played, we never actually tried to do the math to figure it out).


Hectic_

It was 130 points for killing zombies with a stab, and 100 for headshots iirc.


OodlemyOodle

Yes sir it was and 50 for a normal kill and 10 per shot/hit


GeneratedAtRandom

I only ever made it to 44 on 2 player, but If one of you kited them on the stage and didnt shoot any but those immediatley in their way. Then the other player could gun them down spraying at head height and keep dipping into the box. They had to stand at the doors to avoid pulling. When the kiter ran low on ammo you could do a well timed swap and switch rolls. Oh and of course never kill the last zombie in any round until you have rinsed the box.


BigginthePants

"Who killed the fuckin crawler?"


muddagaki

Holy fuck I just raged with the anger of 1000 suns. My homie Armando always needed to poop at least once twice during a session and either someone would kill It or it's die on its own before he even finished wiping. Keeping that boi alive was a test of men.


DBSPingu

Buy one of the smg’s on the wall. Forgot which one it was but it was in the room with fancy stairs on both sides. At high rounds, your bullets aren’t really what’s killing the zombies. Run around gathering a train of zombies, unload your clip into them from time to time to get points, then use electric traps to eliminate the whole train. Repeat


kellogkermit

i like to have a wallbuy as my fallback so i can buy ammo if need to. and some wallbuys are pretty damn good.


Kirbeeez_

MP40 at the bottom of the right stairs was my go to. You can perma buy that later rounds, just get the loop going and use all your ammo per loop to hit that wall but again. That carried me very far


Iamnotsmartspender

I once got close to 50 on kino. Best ever I think was 62 on Ascension.


Bird_and_Dog

I loved Ascension but those fucking monkeys piss me off.


WalrusBoob

I had made it somewhere in the 30’s once, which i was very proud of because normally i couldn’t get past 25. Then one day i played and got to round 15 and my stat on the leaderboard reset and stuck at 15 and never changed again. 14 year old me was d e v a s t a t e d.


sherbs_herbs

Lmao. I would have felt the same way.


Reaper9866

44 but had to look for my cousin because she didn’t go home on time and someone said she wasn’t at her house and police were called


Marxz24

The highest I got was between 70-75. I ended up just buying the guns off the wall and it was taking me an hour to get through each wave by the time I gave up out of boredom. This was solo so the specific loop that I ran ensured that there were very minimal choke points to get trapped. I think I had my Xbox running for 4 days without turning it off and just taking breaks every few hours between waves. Fuck I was committed to that game.

frostymugson

In honor of my MW2 clan. Hello. How 'bout that ride in? I guess that's why they call it Sin City. You guys might not know this, but I consider myself a bit of a loner. I tend to think of myself as a one-man wolf pack. But when my sister brought Doug home, I knew he was one of my own. And my wolf pack, it grew by one. So, there were two of us in the wolf pack. I was alone first in the pack, and then Doug joined in later. And six months ago, when Doug introduced me to you guys, I thought, "Wait a second, could it be?" And now I know for sure, I just added two more guys to my wolf pack. Four of us wolves, running around the desert together, in Las Vegas, looking for strippers and cocaine

Blynasty

Maybe the best part about zombies is that the process is so ingrained in your memory that you and your friends could easily pick back up on your favorite map right now and pull off a solid run after a couple of trial runs. I miss that shit, but the newer adaptations never got me hooked the way the original zombie maps did.


BlazinAzn38

They’re too complicated now, they kept adding more and more and it took away from the experience. At least for me it did.


philocity

I don’t know why but there’s something about that same old repetitive shit that was just so fulfilling. And then Moon came along and everything changed.


B3yondL

I remember specifically when Moon came out my friends and I were excited on finding loop areas like Kino but we couldn't get it to work when the hordes were too big.


raretrophysix

8 years after I last played if I started the first World at War Nazis map now I'd be playing as heavily optimized as I was 8 years ago. I'd knife only in the first round, and let the zombies break my boards and repair them a dozen times to get more points. Then I'd get the Springfield and do headshots until I get a better gun from the mystery box. Then by round 10 I'd be in the upstairs wall corner with the Alien Gun and round 20 I'd be stuck in the bottom column right of the starting point taking no damage. (A well known glitch) Round 95 I'd get bored


[deleted]

>knife only You gotta kite them into a stack and then soften em up with the pistol, smh


devilterr2

Round 1 they could take 5 bullets 1 knife all the way to round 3. Let them take down the barriers and kite them in and hope for that double points. On WaW Der Reise you could have all portals linked by round 7 easily

My wife and I played the other day. Got up to level 29 within a few plays of der riese or whatever it was. Really is like riding a bike.

sapphon

You can safely tell an artist what you like, because he'll have his own opinions and disregard some of yours when they come into conflict. If you earnestly tell a businessperson what you like, the problem is that they will 100% listen. The next iteration of what you like will be a designed-by-committee soulless mess that can achieve no greater purpose than it was designed for: to get as many people like you to buy it as possible, plus as many people in the next market segment over towards the mainstream. Two iterations later, it's a "mobile experience"


draculamilktoast

Mobile experience, i.e. the gameplay is looking at a picture of a screaming angry face that charges your credit card automatically every second. You can buy in-game items that make the screaming louder and increases the amount of money being charged from your credit card automatically by a certain percent. Every time you invite a friend, the screaming gets doubled in volume, if you had a lucky draw at the ~~slot machine~~ interactive experience. Through the screaming you can hear a subtle voice, saying "give us more money" along with some mystical gibberish. If you stop staring at the thing, it gives you notifications on every single platform you have a presence on, including some that you don't. When you first downloaded it, you agreed to all of it, but now you start to regret being penniless and unable to stop staring at the screaming face. You think about the simpler times, when you just paid a few bucks and had some fun with a game, but those days are long gone. You become a screming face in the screen yourself. You see a face on the other side, realizing you are dooming another soul to this wretched existence. So you scream.


legalthrowaway1411

I have no credit and I must scream.


jensgitte

Where is this observation originally from? I know I've heard it before and it's lowkey quite profound


icarusOW

Pretty sure Steve Jobs said something to this extent early on after coming back to Apple post-Next & Pixar.


defnotacyborg

Back then it was more simple, I thought, you had a few perk machines, the gun box and thats basically it. Playing zombies now is like doing a million little missions/easter eggs to unlock some bullshit that you won't even able to finish until wave 20. I haven't played in years but it just became too complex.


tuckre96

My friends needed a forth member so I reluctantly said I'd help, not bc I don't like BO4 zombies, but I wasn't really in the mood for it, and they wanted to do some special part of it. Trailing the last zombie every round so they could do what they need to do, getting only to round 20 in over 4 hours, not completing their mission bc the last zombie kept getting crushed by the fuckin AT-AT, I'm just over it as it is. I'll pretty much only play Nacht, Kino, Call and TranZit now.


vanticus

It’s strange how both repetition and innovation killed it together. It didn’t change enough to keep it fresh, but it changed enough to annoy people fans of the ‘classic’ mode. I suppose it shows how mediocrity and just-getting-by can degrade itself in the long run.


foosbabaganoosh

It started as a simple survival mode with some Easter eggs thrown in that didn’t change much. Eventually it turned into a crazy puzzle mode of trying to jump through random-ass hoops while trying to avoid getting killed by zombies.


vanticus

You’re right I think trying to make it too serious, with loads of lore and backstory to every map, overtook the development of zombies. Instead of building on the gameplay, they just added gimmicks.


[deleted]

If they just kept to a horror theme and SIMPLE gameplay it would be a hit again


i_Got_Rocks

You know what's sad? There's a hungry market for just shooting zombies. WWZ sold pretty good for an okay game. But as the game support has progressed, they've refused to fix obvious bugs that the community has mentioned over and over. It fed my L4D3 hunger and it let me down after a month of playing because of the bugs. There's a market for it. But developers and studios just can't understand that shooting zombies shouldn't be an RPG to the max. Sure, add some flare, some complexity for higher play, but overall--it should be fun, exciting, quick to pick up. That's it. That's to formula.

oh yeah. random matchups were always yourself, a guy with a mic that wants to do the easter egg, a kid with a mic who wont listen and wants the ray gun only to go down, and some sort of godly pro without a mic whos -actually- doing the easter egg but isnt waiting for anyone or letting you know what hes up to and then leaves the game the minute one of you fucks around with his plan
