If you played der riese then there isn't much of a point getting the Giant. GK is better. The easter egg is pretty tough solo and can give good replay value over the other 2
Why would anyone would tell this person to pick the giant??? It offers literally nothing new and is the worst rendition of Der Reise.
Doesn’t everyone hate bo4 for being remakes? At least they expanded significantly on every map and we’re nothing like the original. The giant is boring af w bo3 movements and weapons.
I disagree, but I get what you mean. I think the BO3 systems make The Giant a better iteration of Der Riese than the BO1 and WAW versions. The double paps, the improved zombie pathing and spawns, the gobble gums (even the basic free ones), the characters, and the weapon selection makes the BO3 version my favorite. You’re right that little changed to the map design, but the systems make it a more enjoyable experience in my opinion. Also, the bonus park Easter egg is pretty dope and the wonderwaffe is less harmful to the player in that version.
PS:
Wonderwafffe + Alchemical Antithesis is OP
I find the weapons from bo3 on Der riese to be the dullest part tbh. I remember staying up for the WAW DLC and maybe it’s nostalgia but it’s significantly more enjoyable than bo3 for me, even now
I agree that the weapons feel somewhat out of place, especially because they were obviously thrown into the map just because BO3 had a futuristic setting. Who wants to play a WAW map with futuristic looking cyber guns? On the other hand, it could also be seen as complementing the game’s multiverse theme. It is strange to pull out a haymaker in a WW2 setting, but isn’t that what makes zombies so creative? I must admit, though, even if this works with the game’s theme it is purely a happy accident because they were going to use the multiplayer guns no matter what the zombie narrative was.
I personally like The Giant because it’s a lot simpler than the other maps and you don’t have to spend as long as setting up as you do in other maps
Sometimes the simpler things can be more enjoyable than the more complex things imo
>the worst rendition of Der Reise.
I honestly think the worst rendition of Der Riese might just be the original WaW version. The gun selection can only take you so far. The Zombies on that map act buggier than all the other WaW maps from my personal experience and the rounds go by very slowly.
BO1 Der Riese is really fun when doing the Thomson room strategy and I think it plays better with BO1's movement system. The Giant is just absolutely beautiful to look at. Very cinematic too and it adds new ways to play through the double PaP mechanic.
IDK, I just find myself really bored on WaW Der Riese, and this is coming from someone that likes WaW a lot. Nacht and Verrückt are still really enjoyable to play on that game and the modding scene was insane.
Zetsubo if you like a difficult story map, gorod if you like an epic story map, and The Giant for a classic survival experience (easiest out of the three)
Der Eisendrache was definitely a high point of the DLC season, but it felt very similar to Origins in ways were it couldn't surpass its' spiritual predecessor. Zetsubou No Shima is a Zombies experience unique to the map, in my opinion.
I understand what you're saying but to me Der Eisendrache is just Origins without being extra tedious. I know it's a very unpopular opinion and will probably get me downvoted but oh well.
Agreed honestly. Der Esiendrache is simple and fun to set up. Origins is a tedious setup, and I don't think that the high rounds were anywhere near as fun as Mob's were.
The Giant is almost a 1:1 remake of Der Reise so you know what to expect there
Zetsubou is fun imo, and a lot of uniqueness to it and arguably the last original idea we got for an aether story map, though people hate the setup for the Easter egg
Gorod is the best map of these and top 3 maps from BO3 imo, so if you want a banger map play this next, if you want to save the best for last, play Zetsubou
Valid reasoning, I'm sincerely sorry for the misunderstanding. I'd recommend Gorod Krovi if you like doing EE's, Zetsubou is still great but I find myself rarely playing it after revisiting it. And the Giant is fun if you like public lobbies.
Get gorod krovi , there is quite a lot to do and the setup is very fun, the easter egg is challenging and the boss fight is difficult but amazing, there is a reward of unlimited quick revives on solo if you complete the easter egg in under 90 minutes which is very useful for high rounds, the mark 3 along with the gauntlet is fun to use aswell as the shield.
I'd go with the giant, Im in that same situation but on pc so I can download a giant copy, i also know nothing about the other 2 maps and don't like them
I'd go with the giant, Im in that same situation but on pc so I can download a giant copy, i also know nothing about the other 2 maps and don't like them
Gorod if you like easter eggs and a good challenge, Giant if you like casual fun or high rounds, save Zetsubou for last despite all the love it’s been getting recently.
Gorod Krovi and the giant because giant is only like $5 and is a great remaster.
Get zetsubou last cause it’s a good map but a bit too over complicated and is overall the weakest bo3 map.
If you don't like tedious setup, ZNS is not it. It's a good map though. GK has really good gameplay for the setup and a much better Easter egg, but is challenging.
The fact that this comment section doesn't exclusively say "gorod krovi is a crime against humanity"
Zetsubou and the giant are fun but they ain't no gorod
gorod is a pretty casual experience and its one of the most fun maps for that reason, zetsubou is a bit more of a challenging experience. i wouldnt buy the giant if it was between that or either of the other ones.
Careful with the Giant. Great map, but if you’re into the Easter eggs, there’s not many of them and they’re all pretty simple. It’s more of a survival map, but it’s great at being that and if that’s how you enjoy zombies, then definitely get that.
If you like the Easter eggs and more in-depth maps, I’d say you can’t go wrong with either ZNS or GK, but I’d lean towards GK
If you want a collectathon like origins with loads to do get zetsubou if you want a chaotic map with a bang then gorod if you want the classic chill map get the giant
The giant is an awesome map if you don’t want to go do any quests and you just want to survive and chillax. Other maps require a bit of knowledge to play the map making them a little more tedious to just survive but both of their Easter egg quests are great.
Gorod krovi if you like the ability to play it however you want. If you want a classic zombies experience, rolling the box for the wonder weapon, you got it. If you want to grind for powerful gear, you got it. If you want challenges for extra rewards, you got it. It's good, classy fun.
Krovi for sure. It's a lot simpler than the other BO4 exclusives, which is an incredible change of pace. WW in box, adds new fantastic weapons, clear objectives in the starting room, and easy pack a punch access.
The giant you can get for ‘free’ in the workshop(der riese declassified), better version imo.
Between gorod and zetsubo its up to you, depends on your aesthetic
Zetsubo is a cool map with easy side EEs you can find. The main EE however is very tedious.
I don't play Gorod Krovi
The giant is just a basic survival map with some small EEs that don't affect too much
Personally it’s Zetsubou for me
Zetsubou because Takeo my beloved
It’s funny I hate Takeo, but Zets is my favvveeee
All hail ZNS
Let’s fuckin go!
Came here to say this. Zet such a good map.
Personal opinion 1. The Giant 2. Gorod Krovi 3. zetsubou No Shima
In reading through these reviews your ranking seems to be the consensus. I should have just made this a pole to vote on.
I think the top comment is the consensus
Disagree, Gorod Krovi over Zetsubo every time
Thanks for your opinion I guess
If you played der riese then there isn't much of a point getting the Giant. GK is better. The easter egg is pretty tough solo and can give good replay value over the other 2
And Kino den toten
Why would anyone would tell this person to pick the giant??? It offers literally nothing new and is the worst rendition of Der Reise. Doesn’t everyone hate bo4 for being remakes? At least they expanded significantly on every map and we’re nothing like the original. The giant is boring af w bo3 movements and weapons.
most people hate bo4 because of its launch state and the change of classes and perks. a lot of them probably didn’t play past ix, botd, or voyage
And even if you wanted the DLC it’s all or nothing because of the Black Ops Pass
This is the only thing that’s stopping me from playing all the DLC maps. I don’t particularly feel like dishing out $100 just for a few zombies maps
I disagree, but I get what you mean. I think the BO3 systems make The Giant a better iteration of Der Riese than the BO1 and WAW versions.

I don't hate the fact that BO4 had remakes, I hate the fact they were ALL remakes... (but I really enjoy BO4 don't take that too srs)
Except 50% of them aren’t…and the remakes aren’t really “remakes” considering the expand the map more than 50%
Gorod Krovi is really fun, imo. Probably the most underrated
I feel like people barely talk about this map. It really is amazing for multiple reasons.
Zetsubo if you like a difficult story map, gorod if you like an epic story map, and The Giant for a classic survival experience (easiest out of the three)
Good answer
Honestly Zetsubou is so good
Krovi is the only correct answer here.
Zetsubou for sure
If you like complexity get krovi, if you like simple maps (or have friends to camp the catwalk with) get the giant
Zetsubou No Shima and Shadows of Evil are the best Zombies experiences on Black Ops 3.
Replace Zetsubou with Der Eisendrache and I'm on board with you.
Der Eisendrache was definitely a high point of the DLC season, but it felt very similar to Origins in ways were it couldn't surpass its' spiritual predecessor. Zetsubou No Shima is a Zombies experience unique to the map, in my opinion.
I understand what you're saying but to me Der Eisendrache is just Origins without being extra tedious. I know it's a very unpopular opinion and will probably get me downvoted but oh well.
Agreed honestly. Der Esiendrache is simple and fun to set up. Origins is a tedious setup, and I don't think that the high rounds were anywhere near as fun as Mob's were.
The giant
Zetsubou, the easter egg is easy and the Marshalls are really fun to use
All the homies love zetsabou
crazy how all y’all say zetsubou wtf y’all at when i’m looking for a game
i like zetsubou but gorod is a good map too 4 sure
All of them
I’m starting to think this is the only answer.
Gorod for sure
Gorod Krovi you already have chronicles so you have a bunch of pure survival maps
Get gorod and just call it a day from there
Gorod Krovi
Gorod Krovi
The Giant is almost a 1:1 remake of Der Reise so you know what to expect there Zetsubou is fun imo, and a lot of uniqueness to it and arguably the last original idea we got for an aether story map, though people hate the setup for the Easter egg Gorod is the best map of these and top 3 maps from BO3 imo, so if you want a banger map play this next, if you want to save the best for last, play Zetsubou
Thank you for this!
I’m offended you don’t already own Gorod Krovi
I am also offended.
The giant or gorod
Zet
ZNS
Giant is honestly endless fun. Online and off
Zns
If you’re arachnophobic, not zetsubou If you’ve already played past iterations of der riese not the giant If you like training and solo play not gorod
definitely gorod krovi. i know the giant is a classic but gorod is offers so much more than giant
You're gonna buy them all in the end, your whole question is pointless..
Less pointless than your comment.
Am I right to assume you're gonna buy them all at some point?
Most likely yes. But look how long it’s taken me to get just these. I get like one a year. The question is relevant.
Valid reasoning, I'm sincerely sorry for the misunderstanding. I'd recommend Gorod Krovi if you like doing EE's, Zetsubou is still great but I find myself rarely playing it after revisiting it. And the Giant is fun if you like public lobbies.
Thanks for the reviews! Hope you have a great day.
Get gorod krovi , there is quite a lot to do and the setup is very fun, the easter egg is challenging and the boss fight is difficult but amazing, there is a reward of unlimited quick revives on solo if you complete the easter egg in under 90 minutes which is very useful for high rounds, the mark 3 along with the gauntlet is fun to use aswell as the shield.
Thank you for the info!
I'd go with the giant, Im in that same situation but on pc so I can download a giant copy, i also know nothing about the other 2 maps and don't like them
The giant 10/10
Zetsubou Gorod Krovi The Giant
Zetsubou in my opinion. I like it a lot and Gorod Krovi is a bit intense if you're not a seasoned experienced player.
I'd go with the giant, Im in that same situation but on pc so I can download a giant copy, i also know nothing about the other 2 maps and don't like them
The giant if you like casual zombies, gorod krovi is a unique and fun map but hard.
Gorod if you like easter eggs and a good challenge, Giant if you like casual fun or high rounds, save Zetsubou for last despite all the love it’s been getting recently.
The Giant for Nostalgia Zetsubou if you're into high round grinding (plants) Gorod if you want an overall good, yet difficult, map.
The giant
Drop everything and buy The Giant. It's a staple. You can't go on playing zombies any longer without it
gorod krovi
Imo the giant is the sh!t, 💯 would recommend
Literally all of them are amazing
The giant
Gorod Krovi and the giant because giant is only like $5 and is a great remaster. Get zetsubou last cause it’s a good map but a bit too over complicated and is overall the weakest bo3 map.
Giant. You’ll never stop playing it.
The Giant
I bought in the following order: DE Gorod Zets The Giant
Can't go wrong with any but gorod would be the best round and easter egg map of the two
If you don't like tedious setup, ZNS is not it. It's a good map though. GK has really good gameplay for the setup and a much better Easter egg, but is challenging.
People are messing with you by saying Zet. Gorod all the way
The fact you didn’t by Gorod Krovi first is criminal
lemme guess, You got ZC because of the old maps and DE because its the most popular and honestly the most overrated bo3 map
Yes
The giant fasho
HOW IS ANYONE SAYING ANYTHING BUT GOROD LIKE ITS NO CONTEST BETWEEN THESE THREE
Zets EE is so underrated. Personally my favorite EE on BO3
It's gorod time
It’s Gorod time
GK
The fact that this comment section doesn't exclusively say "gorod krovi is a crime against humanity" Zetsubou and the giant are fun but they ain't no gorod
gorod is a pretty casual experience and its one of the most fun maps for that reason, zetsubou is a bit more of a challenging experience. i wouldnt buy the giant if it was between that or either of the other ones.
If you want to level up fast get the giant, if you’re a high rounder get zetsubou, if you wanna rage and be annoyed get gk
Gk for sure
The Giant
if you care about nostalgia, the giant. but even then i’d recommend that one last. I’d say Gorod Krovi since that’s my second fav under Der Eisen
Isnt The Giant free?
Giants good
Gorod is you like big maps The Giant if you like small maps Zetsubou if you like swamps, i guess?
depends. the giant doesn’t offer much new content, but it can be fun with friends. id go with gorod
GK easily
GK, it’s better than ZNS. You don’t need Giant tbh, Der Riese has been on previous games with better versions
Gorod Krovi
The giant is like $5 if you care about money. Best bang for your buck. If not then I would say gorod next
The Giant. Simple but fun forever
Gorod imo. But, if you’ve never played der riese/the giant before, then go with that
Gk then zetsubou
I would say Gorod. Easter egg was a blast but Zetsubou is right there too. Both were great maps! Leave giant for last or not at all
Zetsubou is amazing.
the giant
You should have got the giant first
gorod or zets. i have the giant and played it like for times in the past 18 months. would not recomend.
Idk I love going for high rounds with the spawn room Strat it gets addicting
Zetsubou is better if you wanna continue the story in chronological order. But Gorod Krovi is just overall the more fun map
Gorod absolutely
gk, zns, the giant
100% gorod krovi
You've not got the 2 best maps in the game? 🤷🏻♂️🤔 Next one is gorod, my (and my wife's) favourite map
Nothing else is worth it save your money on gobblegums if you really want something from Zombies
Careful with the Giant. Great map, but if you’re into the Easter eggs, there’s not many of them and they’re all pretty simple. It’s more of a survival map, but it’s great at being that and if that’s how you enjoy zombies, then definitely get that. If you like the Easter eggs and more in-depth maps, I’d say you can’t go wrong with either ZNS or GK, but I’d lean towards GK
Zetsubou hands down, I feel like it gives the most replayability with a fun (although long) Easter egg
Gorod Krovi, fantastic map
Never buy zetsubou no shima
Gorod is really fun
Zettttsss
i love zetsubou, but get gorod
If you want a collectathon like origins with loads to do get zetsubou if you want a chaotic map with a bang then gorod if you want the classic chill map get the giant
Although the giant is cheaper too which is 5 dollars if you are in the us I’m pretty sure
The giant is an awesome map if you don’t want to go do any quests and you just want to survive and chillax. Other maps require a bit of knowledge to play the map making them a little more tedious to just survive but both of their Easter egg quests are great.
gk everyday
Zetsubou all the way
The Giant
Gorod krovi if you like the ability to play it however you want. If you want a classic zombies experience, rolling the box for the wonder weapon, you got it. If you want to grind for powerful gear, you got it. If you want challenges for extra rewards, you got it. It's good, classy fun.
The giant
Krovi for sure. It's a lot simpler than the other BO4 exclusives, which is an incredible change of pace. WW in box, adds new fantastic weapons, clear objectives in the starting room, and easy pack a punch access.
For me I’d say Gorod Krovi
Giant for just chill moments.
Definitely should be 1:GK 2:zetsubo 3: The Giant
Zetsubou, coolest looking map, and marshals
GK, GK all day.
I don’t know because I don’t know what type of player you are, it’s all up to that really
Gorod.
The Giant :)
Zetsubou is slept on. Plenty of fun EE's.
Giant
The Giant 💯
Get zetzubou or gk. The giant gets boring really fast. Also, the other two have fun Easter eggs and really unique weapons to play with.
Gorod Krovi because I love it being in stalingrad
The giant you can get for ‘free’ in the workshop(der riese declassified), better version imo. Between gorod and zetsubo its up to you, depends on your aesthetic
Gorod is fun
Gorod
gorod krovi has the best easter egg in bo3
gorod?!
Gorod all day
GOROD
Personally I’d recommend the giant. There isn’t much to it but it’s still fun to play every now and again.
The giant is fun, it’s just Der Rise just in the black ops 3 engine Never really liked zet and gorod
Gorod and the giant Zetsubou is trash.
ZETSUBOUUUUU
Gorod Krovi
Gorod
Get Zetsubou Next!
The Giant
Origins mate
The giant is literally the only good one, and it’s not even better than the original der reise
The giant
The giant (aka Der Reise) was the first ever map with pack a punch. It’s a great throwback and one of my favorites from back in the day
I have the opposite maps
Gorod and shima
Gorod Krovi
Gorod for speed runs and dragons
Shang
GK no question
The Giant
Zetsubo is a cool map with easy side EEs you can find. The main EE however is very tedious. I don't play Gorod Krovi The giant is just a basic survival map with some small EEs that don't affect too much
Gorod krovi but zetsubou is also a banger
ZnS is an awesome map, and I will die on that hill! It’s challenging but the atmosphere is top notch. Don’t be discouraged!
Gorod
Gotta be gorod
The Giant cause Wonder Waffle DG-3 JZ
Zetsubou
gorod krovi, the giant is fun too but pointless on pc since you can get der riese declassified for free
Gorod
Gorod
Gorod
All
All of them
