It was grueling and took a long two hours, but after killing approximately 2000 undead Nazi, our team finally made it to Round 24 in Nazi Zombies on the new Verruckt map that came with Map Pack 1 for Call of Duty: World at War. It’s quite an achievement for us. It means we’ve matched our record on the original Nazi Zombie’s map, a feat that also matched the development team’s, that made Nazi Zombies, record before the game was released to the public.
Sadly, there’s a lot of glitching going on in Nazi Zombies. So much so that the leaderboards are pretty much a joke. Hitting Round 24 got us into the top 8000 spots, but I can’t help but wonder where we’d be at if the top thousand players, at least, hadn’t cheated to get their 1000 Rounds Survived placements. I’m also curious to see what the actual highest number of rounds survived is. I’m sure it would give countless numbers of players something to shoot for, seeing what’s actually doable and trying to top it.
What I don’t understand is where’s the fun in cheating your way to Round 2100? The rounds get really long and you have to kill hundred upon thousands of undead, which should take the better part of a day or more. If you could do it for real, sure, it’d be extremely exciting, but glitching takes all the risk out of it. You just stand there and shoot. What’s the point of that? At least in Dead Rising, you got an awesome weapon after killing 50,000 some odd zombies. I was bored as hell doing that, but at least there was a reward at the end. You don’t even get EXP in Nazi Zombies.
I understand the appeal of getting to the top of a leaderboard, but imagining what the number one must have gone through to get there, the lonely, extremely dull experience, was it worth it?
Maybe we should start our own leaderboard. What’s the highest you’ve gotten?

I got to 24 too. I wonder who you played with…
We got to L33… I don’t consider the multi-weapon “glitch” cheating. If you’re somewhere the zombies can’t get at you… yes… cheating. Just having more than 2 weapons… not cheating.
Hmm… I’m not sure I concur with the “more than 2 weapons” glitch not being considered cheating. People can argue with me all they want, but if the design of the game says you can only have 2 weapons, then thems is the rules. If you do something that is outside of the program parameters that gives you a competitive advantage, it’s cheating. For instance, if I was in a snow ball fight with Walt we agreed we can each only have 6 snow balls, but Walt brought 9. Then I’m sorry Walt. Cheating.
Yeah, having more than two weapons is cheating. Often times, we die because we don’t have the ammo to live. That wouldn’t be a problem is we could hold more guns. I’d love to have a BAR with my MG42 and Browning. Or a Pssssshhhh, something. The tommy gun.
How many people did you get to 24 on Verruckt with? I managed it yesterday with 1 other guy, honestly we thought we’d broken the world record or something, then we checked various leaderboards only to find ridiculously high scores who clearly cheated. It really does ruin it for the rest of us.
It was with four people, so going that far two players is pretty amazing. Nice job. Did you know the one other guy or was it a random match?
I’m hoping that with the new Map Pack 2 zombie map, there’s going to be some sort of, I guess, better anti cheating testing going on at Treyarch before they release it. Plus there’s Trophies in the new one so cheating would suck on other levels as well.
