However, with the final zombie maps release, the tides turned. After a somewhat disappointing beginning to Black Ops 2’s DLC season, fans were conflicted. The amount of love and respect I have for these maps is unquestionable, and Origins is no different. 4 – OriginsĪs we start to approach the top three, from Shadows Of Evil onwards, it’s been tough to decide what goes where. Shadows Of Evil set a bar that I personally feel will never be topped, of course, there’s a handful of other iconic maps, but none portray the setting quite like Morg City. Jeff Goldblum, Heather Graham, Ron Perlman and Neal McDonough star as four cursed souls requiring a sacrifice to each escape their hellish predicament. HP Lovecraft inspiration is at the heart of the City’s streets, Shadows Of Evil also includes yet another Celebrity performing cast. Not to mention the addition of further enemies, from mythical “Keepers” to the squid-like three-headed “Margwa”. Straight out of a 1940’s American movie, the vibe is nailed from the get-go. An absolute joy to look at and experience, on early playthroughs I found myself in awe of the bright neon lights and vibrantly lit building interiors. The noir style of Morg City was Treyarch boasting of how far they can take their survival mode. Starting Black Ops 3 off with a huge bang. Whereas I previously mentioned certain maps succeed in how they portray their surroundings, Shadows Of Evil turns that dial to eleven.
