The 10 Best CoD Zombies maps, Ranked

destructoid.com:

When you initially think of Call of Duty, the idea of fighting a nonstop horde of the undead probably isn’t the first thing you’d think of. Well, at least until after the Zombies mode became a staple of the Call of Duty series, becoming as much a part of the franchise as its multiplayer and campaign modes.

Since its original inception in Call of Duty: World at War, many players have grown attached to Zombies, as it provides a fun four-player co-op excursion from the series’ standard modes. However, with so many titles now including the mode, the amount of available maps has skyrocketed.

Here are 10 of them that remain the best the series has offered to date.

If you were someone who had just completed the campaign for Call of Duty: World at War, you may have been greeted by this map right as the credits ended. Originally, “Nazi Zombies” was hidden away from players until they completed the main storyline. Once the credits ended, players would be immediately thrust into the first Zombies map, Nacht Der Untoten. Translating to “Night of the Undead”, this small locale was an edited version of a building from the campaign mission “Hard Landing”

Players are trapped inside the building with no means of escape, as the undead march to the many windows keeping them out. Players would then have to fend off the zombies for as long as possible. Nacht is a simple map, focusing on the main gameplay loop of round-based survival. Players gain points from shooting zombies and can upgrade their arsenal by purchasing weapons with the points. Whether that’s by purchasing them from the chalk drawings on the walls, grabbing the sniper from the upstairs cabinet, or taking their chances by opening the “Mystery Box” in the room on the ground
