That's too bad, cause that was a great mode to level up guns on without being griefed by other players.

A wolf was no less a wolf because a whim of chance caused him to run with the watch-dogs.

Die Maschine solo is still there for me.

I am not too picky about maps, outside of that Palace one in MW2019. The map vote in this kind of sucks, I'll never get to play Miami

God to guns take so long to level up.

Other than that I'm liking MP in cold war a bit better than MW, I'm doing better and can actually get my kill streaks. In MW I'd barely ever even get my second tier rewards. Here I can actually earn stuff regularly.

I love Cold War more then MW until that loving Combined Arms boat map comes up. Then it’s the worst game ever made.

use this guide solo, it should work every time

quote:

I think I have found the easiest/fastest way to unlock Helen Park operator. The challenge requires 3 successful exfils in Zombies.

•1st: Create a zombies class with a weapon that uses attachments that increase salvage drop

•2nd: Load into Solo Zombies Mode

•3rd: Allow zombies to enter into the YARD from rounds 1-6 and kill them with your load out weapon to gather salvage.

•4th: At round 6 open up doors to the CRASH SITE and the wall to enter into the POND be sure to keep collecting salvage. You want enough salvage to craft at least 1 monkey bomb and 1 to MAX Semtex grenade or C4.

•5th: At the CRASH SITE buy Jugga-Nog and the Gallo Shotgun on the side of the crashed Airplane.

•6th: Keep gathering salvage! Once you have enough points unlock the remaining doors and barriers to enter back into the bunker and purchase Stamin-Up. Now, head back to the YARD and wait to complete round 10.

•7th: Once you have the ability to call in exfil, do so! Once the exfil round starts head to the POND and use your monkey bombs and Semtex grenades/C4 to begin clearing out the zombies at the pond.

•8th: You have 1 chance to revive yourself in Solo Zombies so make sure prior to getting this far you don’t waste your opportunity to successfully exfil from Die Maschine. After using your monkey bomb(s), you should only have to kill a dozen or more zombies in the POND, this is where the Gallo shotgun excels.

•9th: Repeat. Profit.

I used this method and successfully exfilled 3 times in a row with little effort. Don’t waste your time going into the complex and turning on power to pack-a-punch or trying to search for randoms who won’t even vote for the exfil. Playing solo zombies exfil round should only spawn 40 or so zombies, so it is fairly easy if you save up salvage and craft monkey bombs and Semtex grenades. Cheers.

That did the trick, thanks! Never noticed there was a way to pond without having to turn on power first. More importantly, I never even looked at the monkey bomb and didn't realize how incredibly useful it is for clearing out the LZ.

I dislike the pond route on zombies at higher levels btw. I prefer to use the roof/balcony to drop down and move through the underground to the pack a punch and than come back up into the yard. this seems to halve the map and creates more static spawn points and seems to be a pretty safe route to run. you can have one person looping the plane into the pond and another person indepently looping the spawn area and clearing zombies. I also rarely see zombies drop off that roof into the pond/plane area which is nice. that plane/pond loop also has a small mini circle if you dont open the door into the building, you can loop up and down uh the area near the crashed car and the wall and the zombies follow you very kindly like a conga line. i also don't open the back right corner of the pond because i want static entrance and exits from each zone...like in the pond i only have the entrance from the plane open making it a self contained zone apart from the feed into the plane. which is contained except for the ramp underground which is ok because i never run that unless im trainsitioning to the pack a punch or the spawn. it makes getting from the spawn zone to the plane zone incredibly long since you have to run the map but its a very safe static predictble spawn mechanic and i never feel like i get hosed by adds.

none of this matters if you're just farming crystals or whatever but if you get to the point where you're playing conductor to a map of zombies while some other nerd runs around and does the easter eggs you're gunna care alot.

If you shoot their heads off in under a minute, you get a rad Easter egg. I’ve been trying to shoot as many as I can at the start of each match in hopes that someone on the other team has the same idea so we can freak everyone else out in the match but it hasn’t happened yet.


The hatchet is the greatest lethal choice in this game and 99% of my fun right now is getting hatchet kills on other dudes.

Nuke Town and Shipment are the series staple of “spawn, kill, die, repeat”. It’s pure concentrated COD and it’s why they always have them.

The fact that professional Call of Duty players can't get above a 2 K/D may be an indication that sbmm is tuned a bit much.

I think it more ruins things for playing with friends because the bottom of the scoreboard is getting absolutely stomped if there's a big group skill disparity.

I looked at a video of blops 4 etc and I do see them. I guess they blended in so well I didn't even remember.

I think my problem is their new placements and how visible they are - I definitely shot mannequins thinking they were players, and they're placed in spots I like to peek so it pissed me off.

Now I'm going to start doing this.





My favorite part of the Nuketown's closeness is saving my bomber remote control truck for the Domination side switch then rushing it to the other spawn. Usually can get 2-3 kills with guys still hanging out to the flag.

really? because it would seem to be a sign that it's succeeding in putting them in against players of comparable skill

they really just need to give people the option to see their numeric rating - it would engender a fair bit of toxicity, but it would also give people an incentive to actually improve/care about performance
