Black Ops III Zombies
I know "Call of Duty" is a bit of a swear word on most dedicated gaming websites, but between all the "tired formula" "_______ is sooo much better" rants and whatnot, is the zombies mode, which I've always had a blast with ever since World At War came out in '08. I can't think of another game since Goldeneye 64 that I've played as much 4-player multiplayer of with my friends. I'm really looking forward to Black Ops III coming out this weekend solely because of the zombies mode, which judging by the trailers, seems to have a far greater emphasis on it this time around.
Anyways what I'm getting at is, anyone want to exchange PSN handles and play a few rounds this weekend? Anyone who's up for it, my PSN handle is Gravity_Blast. Who else is stoked? Leave your PSN (or Xbox SN for the Xbox players, who finally get a taste of what waiting for exclusivity periods to expire feels like ) handle below, and try to keep your Teen Wolf bathroom scene-like troll instincts to a minimum. Let's play a round and see who gets the Ray Gun first

I'm looking forward to Shadows of Evil, 1920s film noir meets supernatural vibe, sweet. I know I'm going to do some multiplayer and 4 player campaign sound be fun too, but I really love zombies in the Treyarch games. I'd be down if any NA members want to hit it up on PS4.
Zombies is fun, but they need to add more to it. Once you pass wave 30, it starts to get boring....
In many of the zombie maps, there's more to it than just wave after wave. I actually like the endless wave-based levels and have no problem playing them at all, but many of the maps have either end-game goals (like rescues), or realllllly long, hard to achieve easter eggs that give you a secondary motive to play other than just surviving.

The easter eggs require a lot of time and half the time random players will leave. I meant the game having a few more things by default with standard wave game play not needing easter eggs.

Yeah can't argue that. I mean the way to deal with that is play with mics only (which I have abso-fucking-lutely no idea why this isn't an option in the pre-game lobby), and simply talk to the other players. Micless randoms are the worst, they die once and split before you can revive them. The only thing about putting together a good game is that you often have to spend more time in the lobby putting a team together than time spent playing the actual game. I don't really have that problem too often because usually it's a pre-planned match between myself and 3 real-life friends, but I can see how it'd be a serious PITA to others.
I realize that by starting with no mic, that automatically puts the mic'ed guys at odds with me, but I'm just not super social. I tend to only play online with people I know, and only do stuff like Zombies multiplayer just so there's some extra people shooting, and to learn stuff I wouldnt learn playing alone.
I usually tell people right from the get go, you don't have to be the best at zombies, but you have to be a team player. Nothing is worse than having a cowboy who does something stupid only to get himself killed, which usually leads to a group wipe if there is a botched attempt to save him.
24 hours. Get hype!
Also Blops III has a full length Zombie Campaign remix mode and smash tv style Dead Ops 2 as an easter egg. Mad replay value here.
