All the characters are wacky stereotypes you can figuratively hear Nolan North chewing the scenery as the deranged German doctor Edward Richtofen. One of those characters is Takeo Masaki, a Japanese character voiced by Tom Kane. This time around Treyarch has opted to use the original cast of characters from World at War Zombies. In Five, JFK, Nixon, Castro, and Robert McNamara face off against zombies in the Pentagon.

As part of the season pass or one of the many special editions, you can get a second remastered level called Classified, a remake of the Black Ops 1 map, called Five. Unfortunately Black Ops 4 Zombies stumbles in its first DLC map.

Scarlett Rhodes is the group’s hardened safe cracker and inventor, for example, but as you move through the collapsing halls of the Titanic, you’ll hear of her disdain for her father and his connection to the Zombie epidemic. They’re a team of street smart thieves and con artists, working together to steal back an ancient artifact. The characters fit the established Zombies motif of larger than life caricatures but the new recruits display a little more depth. If you’re not willing to scour the Zombies subreddit or poke and prod at every lever or locked door in a level, the story that’s there is still enjoyable. These are hidden objectives in each level that need to be activated in a specific order and, when completed, trigger a cut scene that tells more of the story.

Lots of story beats and quests are hidden behind the series' staple Easter eggs. Those expecting a more guided story experience may struggle with the way Black Ops 4 Zombies doles out its narrative. As you work through waves, characters chat and quip back and forth, which helps fill out their backstory. Maps are introduced with a cinematic that sets the scene. Chaos introduces four new characters into the world of Zombies, and while not as complicated as the Aether storyline, it’s still somewhat difficult to follow if you’re new to this style of player-driven storytelling. The Aether storyline takes place across remastered Zombies maps from previous Black Ops games, linked by a parallel time travel story starring the original four characters from World at War.

You Only Get Out What You Put InBlack Ops 4 Zombies offers two story timelines for you to tackle, Chaos and Aether, each with their own characters and story. If you’re a purist you can still run each map completely alone, except now you start each attempt with three lives. While the three robotic comrades would usually stick close, their path finding was sometimes a little shaky which led to more than one missed revive, but overall I found them to be a great way to experience Zombies. Playing with bots isn’t without its problems, though. They don’t assist in any map objectives, like restoring power or solving quest objectives, but they’ll follow you into the breach, opening paths, reviving you when you’re downed, and helping to keep the growing throngs of enemies at bay. The traditional four-player co-op is more welcoming of solo players too, with the long requested addition of AI teammates finally arriving. Thankfully, for the first time in the series, Treyarch has included a robust tutorial that caters to newcomers and returning veterans alike.
