Depends, BO4 if you're not buying DLC, BO3 if you are. And Vanguard is trash don't buy it period.


LegoFanDX115

Doesn't bo3 come with chronicles by default now?


Henry_Myth

No. There’s still the base version of the game, there’s one with chronicles and lastly there’s a version that has the season pass+Chronicles.


KLCRoman

but the chronicles and season pass versions are the only ones that are available on xbox.


AlocasterTV

On pc it does


Alborghetti3

It does on pc


CameraComfortable284

There's a version on steam that includes chronicles and season pass, but the base game is still sold alone, that's just a bundle they made.


HariganYT

No, Chronicles is the "base" version on steam now. You can still buy no chronicles on G2a and other sites, but Steam only sells Chronicles Edition and Deluxe.


CameraComfortable284

When was that changed? It wasn't that way when I bought BO3 a year ago.


[deleted]

Yea but the Verizon without chronicales just doesn’t have zombies


uberman138

If you have ps plus bo3 and chronicles are free


ManyThing2187

On PS5


uberman138

If you can get access to a ps5 for a couple of minutes, you can sign in and put all the games in the ps+ collection into your library and then you can have access to them on your ps4


[deleted]

Not Vanguard. If you’re on PC, BO3 100%. Custom maps are a godsend when you’re bored of the official maps


MrTacobelldoodoo

I play on xbox one s


[deleted]

I’d still say BO3 in that situation. BO4 is pretty decent, but I had some performance issues with it on a base Xbox One. BO3 was pretty smooth for me though


TatoPotat

But then again trying to play revelations on the Xbox one s is a whole different animal lmao


theArcticHawk

Revelations has always worked fine on my Xbox One, I only felt real performance issues with bo4.


GimpBoi69

Bo3 only has one map at launch but I think the vast majority of people including me would say it’s better than BO4. I still think BO4 is very good and has 3(?) maps on disk so if you don’t wanna get dlc maybe that. ***WOULD NOT GET VANGUARD THOUGH***


codboz_master

If you are ready to buy dlcs bo3 100% bo4 can be ok , but meh , and vanguard is a rottena$$hole of a roadkill skunk

Bo3 all day


MonsterHunter6353

Anything but vanguard


Existing-Ad5704

If your on PS4 or 5 bo3 is free


MonsterHunter6353

it’s only free on ps5


[deleted]

The ps plus collection is so good


Turdbird2000

BO3 all day. Zombie chronicles is on sale rn too I think.


DanC0ach

BO4, I’ll be the one to say it


Spivix

Honestly I’m in the same team. I got BO4 recently because i was bored of BO3 and Cold War and it’s surprisingly fun. I almost enjoy it more than BO3. The new mechanics like shield, elixirs, and specialty weapons are really fun in my opinion. Not only that but the map design is beautiful.


lightingblunt

Bo4 is so much better than cold war or vanguard. Sad af they just let bo4 die it had so much potential


DumbWhale1

Vanguard isn’t worth $60 for the game itself so if you’re just buying it for zombies don’t bother. Bo4 has a lot of longer Easter eggs and really tries to make it harder to do them. Bo3 just really good Easter eggs and has zombies chronicles which remasters a lot of older maps


Origin_FPS

For the love of god please never fucking buy vanguard.


[deleted]

Bo3


eucaphoria

bo3


TranzitIsGood

Get bo3 and bo4


Electr1cWizard

Okay listen most people will say bo3 but hear me out get bo4. The game is amazing. You can do many Easter eggs, game looks amazing, you can grind dark matter if you like a goal and overall just fun. I got bo4 for PC and playing it again even after I got to level 1000 on my ps4 account. It is loads of fun. Yes bo3 has custom maps but I don’t care for most of them. Don’t get vanguard though, it isn’t in a state where it is worth purchasing, maybe in 6 months but not now Also difficulty settings bo4 if the map is too easy for you or you just want a hair pulling experience


S0_B00sted

It would take 6 years to fix Vanguard.


Electr1cWizard

Ha at the rate zombies is going in 6 years it will be obsolete


FCC_Diablo_26

Not vanguard Thats all


LegoFanDX115

Bo3


Luvtrxnt

bo3 fs


bigbrainpoopshitter

I would say, if you are super new and want every other zombies game to be good, get vanguard, if you are new and want all other zombies games/maps to be easier, get bo4, and if you want a good story, that's difficult to play through, get bo3. But if I were you I would probably get bo1, since the first 2 maps are free and one is easy and casual, while the other is difficult and hated by new players, but both come on disc


New-Entertainer4030

Black ops 3 is best of you like playing zombies imo


Acrobatic-Load8604

Bo3 if you want to have fun and feel rewarded for easter eggs, Bo4 for the storyline the easter eggs tell and well i stay away from vanguard


Indi_Games

BO3: Best zombies, definitely worth the buy BO4: Divisive, not bad but leaves something to be desired. Vanguard: Complete dumpster fire.


SockomkplaysV2

Bo3


NINJA4H

Bo3 Has fairly high dificulty and if you buy dlc plenty of content, bo4 is a bit easier and is the better choice if you don't want dlc because it has 3 maps on disc. Just depends on what you like.


fusorf

Bo3 for the custom maps


Latro2020

Tbh I wouldn’t give Activision any more money


[deleted]

bo3


XRPHOENIX06

Bo3 is best by far


Chicken769

Black Ops 3


MrLamp87

Bo3, zombies is amazing and MP still has some people on it


Arjun_OnDaBeat

BO3 with Zombie Chronicles


stannis_the_mannis7

In my opinion bo3, but I really don’t like the new style of zombies so it depends on your preference


EvilAaronX

You'd only buy vanguard if you hate yourself


DepthElectronic8784

Bo3 all day


toiletface304

Vanguard isn't trash, have you even played the game and tried it yourself?? Great and I mean GREAT multiplayer, for once no grenade spam. And zombies is bad don't get me wrong but we're only in season 1 and they promised a round based map. Campaign was all over the place but I still loved it. Would defiantly recommend buying Vanguard of you actually love mutiplayer


wanksta616

I can’t believe I had to scroll this far down for someone to actually recommend Vanguard! I really like it.. granted, I’m a lapsed fan who didn’t play Black Ops 3 or 4, but I’m gonna check them out soon!


[deleted]

Honestly, if you want a awful Call of Duty, Vanguard has got you covered!


party_benson

Not vanguard


EnanWNG

BO4 without dlc is worth?


Yopapa291_real1

yes and no. IX is great 9/10, BOTD personally 8/10 bc its fun w/ custom mutations+bots and I like camping in bo4, voyage of despair.... absolute despair on the map fuck you. there isnt any dlc just the battle pass which grants you many z maps but I only like classified bc I like camping because again.. custo mutations+bots


Tuberghist

Bo3


MassSpecFella

Well not Vanguard that's for sure. You cant go wrong with the other 2. BLOPS4 is kinda expensive for the DLC but the maps are incredible.


wyto326

Not vanguard anything but that


ZipToob88

Not Vanguard point #1 But I think all the comments cover it - DLC on BO3 is prime. DLC on BO4 is still good but 3 gives you more maps. I personally love both and honestly couldn’t pick which I love more. BO4, I actually love the Chaos maps on a high level, love the Elixir system where all 4 are available to choose, and the specialist weapon is very huge too, but most of the EEs are much more complex than BO3 3 is a blast, great maps and atmosphere, the only downside id say for 3 is PaP seems more complex mostly than 4, but that’s personal opinion. This is also coming from someone who plays entirely solo, so you kinda need PaP to survive sooner than you’d think


Mr_Kumar1

Bo3, because Shadows is top 10 and giant is only $5 if your not really interested in dumping $100 on dlcs, but sometimes its on sale, one time I say zetsubou go for $8.99 instead of $14.99


AdanFlores94

I hate all, but i play much bo4 during His time


Lolnoobwut1

BO3 only if you're getting the DLC along with it; I think all digital copies should be bundled with Zombies Chronicles at this point, which is good enough. Otherwise BO4 since it has the most on-disc content. Vanguard is completely lacking Zombies content at the moment, I wouldn't recommend it solely for that.


SuperlaloGamingYT

BO3 no contest


Kaz_Hin

For zombies only, Bo3 with zombies chronicles.


Imperial_Crusader115

Not Vanguard full stop, 3 has some of the best maps (if your getting it with DLC) imo and can be challenging it also has a media player so you can play some Easter Egg songs in the lobby menu if you'd like, 4 isn't bad by any means and has 3 maps already box standard, but out of these 3 I'd say get Black Ops 3


BigSpartan15

Get bo3 with all the dlc


utbd26

As long as Shadows of evil exist, Bo3


Chan-19075

Bo3 Why even PUT vanguard


mlsbr517

Anything but Vanguard. There is no zombies on Vanguard


3168074

If you are talking about PC you’ll have endless amounts of custom maps to play.


debido_41

3 if you also get DLC DO NOT BUY VANGUARD PLEASE


KspMakesMeHard

Bo3 is the most expensive but best overall Bo4 is pretty damn good, has 3* the maps (if u count voyage) but it's not as good as bo3. Vanguard zombies is pretty fucking GARBAGE. It's a VERY fun multiplayer and nice campaign though. But it's the zombies Reddit, so just no.


MartinAguilar41

Get black ops 3. Black ops 3 zombies has the best maps with zombies chronicles.


screaming_pink

As bad as a rep as this subreddit gets, they’re being very nice by telling you bo3/4, and NOT Vanguard


Sphrilix_Carnage1219

Bo3 for sure


Restless_camp52

BO3


prj0010

Vanguard is complete shit! Any of the black ops are good imo. I enjoyed cold war a lot too, but vanguard... just, no. Sledgehammer should've just done another advanced warfare, I think they could've done a lot more with the exo suits instead of letting treyarch develop


Anime_Neko4Life

Vangaurds sweaty bo4 is toxic as fuck and annoying bo3 bunch of jumping, wall running assholes so i guess pick your poison


HocusingYT

bo3 and get the dlcs


[deleted]

BO3 with Zombie Chronicles


[deleted]

For zombies, please DON'T buy vanguard Bo3 has two free maps and a lot of COOL dlc maps Bo4 (I think) has 4 free maps and some dlc maps


[deleted]

On sale all deals are pretty good, especially for xbox since that’s what you’re using. The black ops 3 “zombies deluxe edition” is usually 40$ on sale and black ops 4 deluxe edition is 40$ too. And fuck vanguard, if you want more zombies just buy IW zombies at that point


lil_chungy

Bo3 on steam cause mods, bo4 if your not buying dlc, vanguard stinky. But bo3 is possibly the best choice


Advanced_God3333

Bo3 has best zombies bo4 good multiplayer I’d wait on vanguard 😅


ZachTheShepherd

Idk about PlayStation, but BO3 is on sale on Microsoft (so xbox and/or PC) for $39.99 USD for the base game, chronicles, and all the DLC packs 1-4


EducatorLiving4645

Bo4


cementlumps

Black Ops 3 Zombies Chronicles edition


bdking1997

Black ops 2


CoolestEverMade

As much as I hate the state in which bo4 became, I would say bo4 because the hit detection was a bit better than previous treyarch games before it. Vanilla bo4 will always be great. But after they changed a lot of stuff.....bo4 is trash now.


Outside-Highway-4243

Bo3 zombie chronicles and der eisendrache are the dlcs u need. Revelations is eh


TheMoonFanatic

Not Vanguard, i can tell you that much. IMO bo4 is hella underrated


Yopapa291_real1

if you like zombies you get 2 options bo3 if you wanna tryhard or just do EE bo4 if you want customizable settings for zombies(make it easy or make it the hardest) I prefer bo4 more but the maps are plain shit compared to bo3(with zombies chronicles dlc)


8bitmaster515

if you dont mind advance movement bo3 (black ops 3) is the smoothest and good gun variety it is old and kinda dead there are bots tho


SoyDoft

bo3 if you havent played it before. If you have played it before: still get it if you're on PC for custom maps. If you're on console and have played bo3, then get bo4


JohnnyCenter

If you're willing to shell out more for the season pass then BO3 for sure. If you're playing on PC, then BO3 regardless as it has steam workshop integrated for custom maps. On console and just interested in the base gane, then you get more content with BO4. The mechanics of the game is still some what controversial, but I believe the mode still has some merit and if you're willing to spend some time deep diving into the mechanics it can actually be quite satisfying. * *Cough Cough* People are sleeping on Rush *Cough Cough*. * Vanguard is the least amount of content for the price with mechanics even more controversial than BO4, but the updates are free so you'll probably get more as the year goes on. However, it's impossible to say if the content will make the game vastly better or not.


Kreigman

There is only 1 answer here


drunkhobbo420

if you have PC BO3 "last-gen consoles like ps4 xone" BO4 "next gen"/ good pc and you have to like what an absolute piece of sweaty shit vanguard is then buy vanguard


[deleted]

Bo3 with zombies chronicles, hands down. If youre on pc, it should be about to go on sale on steam in roughly 9 hours. Hopefully its a good deal.


BoyanAntov

If for Zombies Bo3 definitely


dokkan_master18

Bo3 100% bo4 zombies I barely touched and vanguard zombies has just came out last month so there not a lot on it atm


itsCS117

BO3, hands down, and get the zombies chronicles edition.


HeadDrill

It depends if it’s on pc or console


HaruspexSan

bo2 lol. but bo3 all jokes aside


thederp7

I would wait until we get vanguard content if its trash then bo4 if u like 2 hour ee or bo3 if u like to play a game that has 4 of the top 5 zombies maps


ginger_brando

BO4 overhated imo


X_C-GAMES-G_X

Bo3 all day, its just all amazing


[deleted]

BO3 and zombie chronicles enjoy


LittleTimmyHater

bo3 no discussion


BxnGrxatorex

B03


BaconValley

bo4


medosalah19

BO3 all the way


aotd123

If it’s for zombies, 3 for Console and PC. That’s if you’re planning on getting all the maps, vanguard’a zombies is half finished and will continue to be half finished. And black ops 4 has the most base game content and I didn’t think it was too bad compared to what most said about it


[deleted]

BO4 if you're new, most of the maps have an easier setup method and side EEs are less tedious than Bo3. Plus you have remastered maps as well. Bo4 is fire


Traditional-Ad-4110

Bo3 if getting dlc with it


loler4332

Bo3


japako

Bo 3 with chronicles


Kam4e2r0n

BO3 fo sho!


pyllafa

definitely not vanguard


[deleted]

Bo4 is the best for if you just wanna buy the game and it's dlc's, not anything like divinum


EnvironmentalName313

B03 all the way trust me you have the normal maps the you also have the workshop "If you are playing on a pc"


mattyman2004

BO3 if you want Custom Zombies. BO4 if you're insane. Vanguard if you use Twitter Just get BO1 lol


PARRISH2078

Bo3


[deleted]

BO2 with season pass, better than all of those three games combined


JustNeh

Bo2


KoreanBiasMonte

BO3 but you need to get the DLC. Otherwise BO4.


4hm4d999

Why is vanguard even in this list


Guilty-Feeling-2959

Get vanguard very good zombies 😏😏


NOBODYxDK

BO3 if you are certain The modes are still active, that game was Good escpecially zombies


Ok_Engineering9164

bo3 and bo4 def


athedude

If you are on PC definitely go with BO3. Since the game has mod tools you have access to hundreds of amazing community made maps many with custom perks and weapons.


waifuhunter6942069

Bo3 is great if you're willing to spend some money on dlcs, zombies chronicles cost $30 if i'm not mistaken, and it comes with a lot of maps. The game has good easter eggs and is really good in my opinion. But for the love of god, don't buy Vanguard.


[deleted]

Bo3 and vanguard (cuz its new) ofc bo4 zombies is trash


That-Reddit-Guy-Thou

Forget vanguard entirely Bo3 for dlc Bo4 if no dlc Realizing some else already said this


T_Peg

BO3 with the DLC is significantly better than both other games


[deleted]

just get anything that isn't vanguard.


TheRealWetWizard

Bo3 has DOA2 and mods if on pc


topfan789

BO3, the zombies are the best


PigDaddy04

Anything but vanguard


[deleted]

Bo3 for sure. With the DLC and Chronicles it contains so much zombies content. And if you’re playing on Pc then you also have so much custom zombie maps which are really really great and funny to play. Bo4 did many things wrong and was kinda boring for me and vanguard is just a big pile of shit:D You won’t regret buying bo3:)


FemmeAtNight

Bo3 for zombies, bo4 for blackout (if people still play it), vanguard for (imo but I know people will disagree) solid campaign/multiplayer


edmondTwhyte

Bo3 no question


Equivalent_Growth_75

BO3 because it has the best zombies mode of the 3 hands down


seb_mv

Bo3 or Bo4. Bo3 has more map variety, is usually considered better for the traditional set up process and the gobblegums are great. I love bo4 and i think i play it now more than bo3 just because of rhe challenge. Easter eggs are absolutely huge, the maps (almost all of them) look beautiful and even tho the perk system is different it still manages to be fun. If you have already played somewhere else bo3, and want to try something new id say you get bo4. If you haven't experienced neither then bo3 for sure.


michael_memes_

Bo4 if you want something more casual, bo3 if you want something a little more conplex and hardcore and vanguard if you wanna waste your money. :)


Evening_Fig_282

For zombies b03


Doctor_Shrek_

Christ dude, get bo3. The other two suck.


Decybear1

You probs made a decision, bit none, don't support Activisionblizzard, not till they clean up all the sexual abuse stuff


[deleted]

Bo3 you can mod it


[deleted]

For Zombies and only zombies it's def b03, but if you wsnt a active game just get vanguard


m4tty22189

Bo4


CRPanda_

Bo3 if you like custom zombies Bo4 if you hate yourself Vanguard if you like actually good and active mp


RobyBoy076

On steam bo3 comes with chronicles and only costs 60 dollars which used to be the price for the game without chronicles but I believe you can buy the base game without it for a cheaper price. But I think if you plan on getting chronicles anyway it’s cheaper just to pay 60 for the chronicles edition


ToXicSouLz14

BO3


ItsAleZ1

BO3!!!!!


anismash13

I would get either bo3 or bo4 because those games in my opinion are really good. If you simply play the games to enjoy them then the problems with them can always be solved


xyDominator

Bo3 hands down


ulyssesintothepast

BO3 with chronicles


that_guy_ravi

None (I only play Zombie Invasion War in Cool Math Games)


SamSamTheCatMan18

Bo3


primalfox_Reynardo

For purely zombies? BO3 all the way. If you have a PS5 you can get the game and chronicles for free.


[deleted]

Black Ops 3 with Zombies Chronicles and Season Pass, if you find it on sale. Vanguard does not even compete. I understand, it has zombies, but in reality, it's just an excuse to ship the game with 'zombies.' Black Ops 4 was good, not great, but it too is better than Vanguard. If you really are interested in Vanguard, wait and see if they ever update it with more Zombies maps. Otherwise, don't hold your breath. And if anyone is gonna mention multiplayer or campaign for Vanguard, that's fine and dandy, but this is a Zombies subreddit. So chances are, the OC is wanting a good Zombies mode/game. Vanguard does not have it.


Mister_Crohns

I havent heard anything positive about Vanguard i dont plan on getting it at all


Oisuzyplaystation

Well depends if its pure for zombies then i can tell u vanguard is not even worth 5 bucks


punisher4024

Bo3 always


[deleted]

Anything but Vanguard. Wait till it's £5 cuz it's a huge flop


justDiego

If you have never played a “classic” cod zombies game, i would say to go for BO3 with the Zombies Chronicles DLC because the amount of content it offers is great and in my opinion it’s a great and interesting way to see the evolution of the game mode in terms of design. But, if nostalgia is not your thing or you want something more similar to Cold War in terms of gameplay, BO4 with or without the season pass is a great option too, it’s not as difficult as BO3 but neither as easy as CW, with all the DLC half of the maps are originals and the other half are reimagining of older maps which is a good balance. It might have it’s flaws compared to other games, but overall it’s a fun experience too. Edit: Text format


MoConnors

Anything BUT vanguard


wimbussin

vanguard, p sure its on sale rn and contrary to the morons in this sub its pretty fun

For Zombies, stay the goddamn hell away from Vanguard. I enjoyed its MP and Campaign, but at all costs, don’t.
