How did 'Zombies' turn into the cringe that it is today? [BO3]

I do not consider myself a zombie or multiplayer specific specific. I like to say I play zombies casually and I do not go for easter eggs, so I feel like my response might be the one that you would agree with most.

Black Ops 3 zombies was awful. I loved Black Ops 1. The gamenode was simple and fun. But then came the map Call of the Dead. I like to believe this was the turning point in zombies. COTD featured a boss zombie that followed you around and was a complete pain in the ass. They also featired a boss zombie in the map moon. This made for a more stressful type of game, which I for one did not think was fun at all.

Black Ops 2 had great zombies, however it couldn't compete woth BO1 or WAW. New features were now implimented into the gamemode like buildible objects, where parts would be scattered around the map and you would need to bring them to a bench and craft them. This was another pain in the ass. Now, it wasn't mandatory, but you did need to build a "turbine" to open Pack a Punch. Not going to go in depth with the DLC, but BO2 ended woth basically everything being a game, played by two children, Samantha and Eddy.

Now to Black Ops 3. Shadows of Evil the map is called. You had to perform these rituals, and you turned into an alien to find parts that would help you perform these rituals. Now, the ritual was done simply by holding X or Square, depending on platform, but still. You turn into an alien to retrieve a part. You also had to kill a three headed alien. How ridiculous. The DLC in my opinion was bad. I barely played any of the maps. The last map was Revelations, which was a combination of around eight of the previously made maps, all put into one. After the LOOONGG easter egg that took like, a month to solve, the ending was SHIT. Atleast, I didn't understand it, along with a ton of other people.

Sorry if this is too long or not what you asked for. There is so much more that I could talk about but believe it or not, I kept it simple. :P

It is players like you that Treyarch should have tried to please. Simple zombies maps are the best.
