For those of us who play call of duty, we have all probably experienced at least once the intensity of Treyarch's "Zombies" platform. Also for those who enjoy it, not all of the maps have been all amazing like some *cough* Gordo Krovi *cough* Here's a slim list of my bottom 5 maps in call of duty zombies history. Also know, this is Call of Duty World at War all the way to Call of Duty Block Ops 3, I do not count the green run maps on Black Ops 2 as individual maps, if so, all 3 of them would be on this list. hint hint, I may spoil stuff for you.

I LOVE transit, but since I'm using a scale on this list, unfortunately it is worse than I thought. Although you kind of have an Easter egg (2 actually) it's still very mundane. The fact that it's a large map really helps out a lot. It's not very historical but it does start up the BO2 Zombies storyline. The ease of this game is very apparent as anyone can just leave a room round 1, and be pack - a - punched, and it'll still be round one. And have juggernog, speed cola, stamin-UP, and Tombstone and be set for the rest of the game (this is how I made it to round 57 all by myself). It's actually pretty crazy on my scale there's a negative modifier if a game is too easy, and an equally negative modifier if the map is too hard lol. I'm just the goldy lox of Zombies gaming. The black ops 2 zombies maps were by far the easiest of all the Treyarch games and the community as a whole wanted to do away with the bank system (rightfully so) and that was due to the game getting severely easy.

Ok I actually feel bad for putting this on the list because it was the first map they made, but you can't not notice how bad this map really is. The black ops1 remastered version is really cool, but I'm talking originals. The original map had no perks, no Easter egg, no history, no nothing. Just the basis of it all. If I actually used the scale to rank this one, it would be #1 as the worst by a wide margin, but I'm cutting slack since it's like comparing resident evil for the Sega Genesis to Resident Evil 5's Lost in Nightmares. I like the fact that this will show true skill in a call of duty zombies player since it's close in quarters.

Words cannot describe how much I don't like this map, if I weren't basing this off a scale, it probably would be #1 based on how many hairs this map made me lose and controllers I broke. The close quarters, intensely graphic, hard gameplay of this zombies map is what makes it so bad. The fact that it has a cool Easter egg bumps it up the list. It's very easy to die on this map and without a set gameplan and knowledge of the map, it's going to be a rough ride for you. Call of Duty did make a very pretty map, and it has historical value, but I just couldn't get past the fact I could never survive past round 20.

Ok I actually liked this map quite a bit. On the scale that I'm using it will rank as the second worst though. I love things that have to do with history, but that's as far as this map will go. There is a musical Easter egg, a pretty cool winters howl, and a nice little pentagon thief. But that's still not fun enough to fill 20 rounds, since you can get all that stuff before round 10.

All in all, I think this map just confused the hell out of me more than anything else. It didn't really fit at all with the original zombies storyline and although the XB1 and PS4 versions are insanely good on graphics, I'd have to say that I got bored of this map on the first game I played on it. I did play it a few times for achievements but I didn't get any thrill out of it. It was quite random, wasn't historical, characters didn't spit anything out that was really funny, and it wasn't at all like the fun of maybe Origins, Transit, or Zebetsu No Shima. So I'll rank this one here as the worst of all time. I'll actually agree with this ranking, in my honest opinion this map is the worst map in call of duty zombies history.
