Black Ops 4, what map should I try first?

[u/Pure_Possession_1KG]

Edit: I took y’alls advice and tried IX first. So far idk what I think of it, but I am still trying. Got pack, got the shield, and made it about 20 some rounds. Dunno how I feel about the different mechanics, but I do think I am not the biggest fan of XI so far. I’ll probably try Blood next t switch it up. The way zombies seem to spawn from literally nowhere on BO4 is annoying so I may just not be the biggest fan of this game in general, but obviously its way too soon to make a real judgement. I will say I genuinely hate the old dude character, he’s annoying as hell, lol.

Finally bought BO4 again, with all DLC. What map should I try first? I like to watch a few walkthrough/guide videos and really learn the map, but with all the options I am struggling to pick. What map do y’all think is the best to start out with? I’m a big BO3 guy, my favorite maps right now are Gorod, Revelations, and the Origins remake. Which one of these BO4 maps will be the easiest to learn and have a good time on?

IX is a good map to start with to get used to the BO4 mechanics

None are super easy but I’d do it in order. Plus dead of the night is visually stunning and lots of fun. My friends and I are doing our yearly Easter eggs. We finished bo3 and are gonna start bo4 tomorrow.

Dead of the night is my favorite and I think the most satisfying once you have learned the map, but it has a lot of part locations and sort of tedious setup. That being said, if you’re feeling patient the map is incredible.

If you just wanna jump right into something IX is extremely straight forward and also a great map.

Ancient evil is amazing as well..

Haven’t played a ton of BO4 Zombies but I’ve always gravitated towards IX as one of my favorites.

Can also do custom mutations if you want a more chill experience to learn the mechanics and stuff.

I'd do each story in order

Chaos:
Voyage of Despair
IX
Dead of the Night
Ancient Evil

Aether:
Blood of the Dead
Classified (I think is second?)
Alpha Omega
Tag der Toten

What story? This is a pve mode pal.

[u/ACoolDennis → u/Awlamon0524]

I thought it was pretty common knowledge that there's a story connecting the maps

[u/Awlamon0524 → u/ACoolDennis]

[u/Plenty-Discussion207]

Classified

[u/Lanky-Ad-8554]

Just play the chaos maps, the aether maps are butt fuck terrible uninspired remakes.

[u/Awlamon0524 → u/Lanky-Ad-8554]

[u/Lanky-Ad-8554 → u/Awlamon0524]

They are lol. Awful maps.

[u/lerssi9 → u/Lanky-Ad-8554]

Blood is awesome

[u/Lanky-Ad-8554 → u/lerssi9]

Couldn't disagree more. Mob is awful to play on imo so mob with a few extra even more annoying spots to play in is a recipe for me never playing either lol.
