Call of Duty: Black Ops 3fans have taken online to discuss a weird flaw with a classic Zombies map found in Treyarch’s hit 2015 FPS. Their debate underlines the game’s immense staying power which was last exemplified by the discovery of anew way to destroy Acension’s Rocket inBlack Ops 3Zombies modeover seven years after its release.
Black Ops 3managed to defy expectations imposed upon every annualCall of Dutyrelease due to the series' tendency to put out games that fall out of favor not long after their immediate successors are introduced. Contrary to that historical trend,Call of Duty: Black Ops 3is still widely played today, largely due to its hit Zombies mode.

With great popularity comes great scrutiny, as evidenced by the newly emerged fan discussion about a weird flaw found in theCall of Duty: Black Ops 3version of the Kino der Toten Zombies map. The debate was sparked by Reddit user LiteralTP, who bemoaned Treyarch’s decision to replace an early MP5K wall buy from the original 2010Black Opsmap with an RK5. AlthoughBlack Ops 3doesn’t feature the MP5K at all, the fact that the RK5 pistol is already available in the nearby spawn room makes this placement redundant at best and useless at worst, according to some players. Many of those who echoed that criticism suggested the Kuda would’ve been a better fit for this location, seeing how it’s the functionally closest relative to the MP5K found inBlack Ops 3.
Yet not everyone agreed with that sentiment, with some fans arguing that having a fully automatic submachine gun so early would have made Kino der Toten too easy, positing that was already the case in the original version of the map. Some like-minded individuals also claimed that a secondary RK5 wall buy was mostly intended as an ammo refill location that helps in the first few rounds without providing players with an overpowered weapon so early on. While the debate hasn’t resulted in a clear consensus, its very existence underlines the widespread belief thatBlack Ops 3offersthe bestCall of DutyZombies modeexperience in the entire franchise, seeing how it’s still being played and discussed today.
While the 2015 shooter is definitely one for the ages, the shadow of its Zombies mode peak continues to loom over the franchise. Some fans are thus already worried thatCall of Duty2024’s first Zombies map will feel too similarto another classic level from theBlack Ops 3Zombies mode.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 3is available on PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One.
