Origins is to hard to learn if you are new. Town is AMAZING for learning zombies, but just can't match up to this. The pack a punch system, like in kino, uses teleporters and is brilliant. No annoying stupid crawlers, jumping jacks, or. That is why Der Riese is the best zombie map EVER.ĭer riese is my favorite map, with the only Maps even coming close being kino dear Toten and maybe origins.ĭer riese and kino are perfectly the right size, not tiny like nacht or verrukt but not ridiculous like origins, moon, or SOE. But it will also be brought back for BO3 as a bonus map, seen in a trailer released by Treyarch. It was so good it was brought back for Black Ops (Like the other great WaW maps). New strategies and map layout made Der Riese unique. Plus throw in all the new guns that can be obtained by using Pack-a-Punch. It also carried on previous favorites like perks and 2 wonder weapons (Wunder Waffe DG2 and Ray Gun). It introduced teleporters and the Pack-a-Punch. Going back to WaW when zombies just started developing a story to go along with it. This map had everyone on the edge of their seats when they saw its trailer. There is not a single thing that could be made better on the World at War original. The Wunderwaffe DG-2 is still to this day my favorite Wonder Weapon, because of the raw POWER that even a 10-year watching his brother play could understand. Two distinctly equal paths to the power switch a Pack-A-Punch that doesn't kick you out the Mother-of-All-Train-Stations, the Catwalk. It brought us the joy of Monkey Bombs, the rush of a daring escape through the Teleporters, and the thrill of Pack-A-Punching for the first time. Der Riese is the quintessential Zombies map.
