7 years 8 months ago #559757
So, Treyarch / Activision has released what seems to be the first trailer for their new DLC release named 'Zombie Chronicles' and what the new DLC is going to contain for those that didn't know is 8 of the best original maps from World at War, Black Ops and Black Ops II and they are remastering them and giving them a whole new feel.
Here's the list of the 8 maps picked for this DLC 5 release;
Call of Duty: World at War
Nacht der Untoten - Where it all began: an abandoned airfield suspended in space and plagued by infinite hordes of the undead.
Verruckt - Welcome to Wittenau Sanitorium, a German asylum with dark corridors, terrifying undead enemies, and even darker secrets.
Shi No Numa - A “swamp of death” located in Japanese territory, surrounded by a sweltering jungle, hellhounds, and endless armies of the undead.
Call of Duty: Black Ops
Kino der Untoten - An abandoned cinema packed with swarms of Crawler Zombies and fiery traps.
Ascension - An abandoned Soviet Cosmodrome where unholy creations lurk in the shadows, and dark undead experiments run loose.
Shangri-la - A legendary shrine lost in an exotic jungle where the undead emerge from within a treacherous labyrinth of underground caverns, deadly traps, and dark secrets.
Moon - Travel to the Moon where forgotten undead creatures plague a horrifying, cratered landscape
Call of Duty: Black Ops II
Origins - An excavation site left behind after the Germans unearthed the mysterious new "Element 115," and unleashed the greatest evil the world has ever seen.

I am personally most excited for 3 maps, those being: Origins (My all time faveourite Zombies map), Kino der Untoten (First Zombies map of Black Ops) and Nacht der Untoten (Where it all started).
I think the one thing that annoys me the most about this whole remastered set of maps is that the starting pistols (Discluding Origins) and the rest of the weapons in the DLC are going to be changed from the original set assigned to their maps to the new Black Ops III weapons which I personally think are utter trash.
For those interested in this new DLC they released a trailer today (8th May 2017) which gives us a brief preview of the maps.
In this trailer you may notice the biggest mess up of all, the 'Gobblegum Machine'. I haven't personally played ANY of the Black Ops III Zombies maps so I can't say whether or not the Gobblegum machine IS actually a bad addition to the Zombies side of the game, so I decied to look up some of the perks you can get from these peices of trash and as I suspected it's an excuse for them to put in micro transactions or make you grind to high heaven. Seeing these in the trailer has actually made me wish I had never heard or seen of the new Zombie Chronicles DLC or that it was never even thought up to be a thing. Remastered games should not have stupid things added in and should stay true to their original selves with graphical and bug fixed I personall think and should not have stupid things added in which ruin the feel of the old game.
I made this post to see what the opinions are from some of the other Call of Duty Zombies fans are in the community who were personally looking at this DLC, I wouldn't touch Black Ops III Zombies with a 10 foot pole.
TL;DR - New DLC looks pretty good but isn't actually good and is utter trash.
