It was on this map that I discovered all the major aspects of modding WaW such as scripting, texture importing, weapon modding, custom weapon importing, custom anim importing, and more. This map was the pivotal point of my modding career. Gasthof was my first major WIP topic, and to this day it is one of the highest viewed WIP topics on ZombieModding ( 111,310 views and 320+ replies). It was well-enough received to keep me motivated to make new content but I decided mid –development that it was not a worth the time it would take to complete it, so I started a different, more mainstream style map that didn’t involve sniper rifles. My first WIP topic was for a map called Nazi Zombie Tower, and it was basically a snipers-only map. After making three or four maps, I finally decided I was going tp create a WIP topic on and see if people would support a map that I could develop. Even with all of the problems I ran into making this map, I really enjoyed it so I made another one. I remember my first map (that worked) was a three story building with a teleporter system, perks, and elevator from a programmer named Wizard_of_Oz and power lights. I played all of the awesome community maps for about a year, and then in June 2010 I decided I would take a crack at it myself and see what I could come up with. The sense of joy that I remember feeling when I found a ton of maps created by the community was one of those feelings you will never forget. I knew the potential for mods because I was already active in the Battlefield 2 modding community, so I immediately looked up some mods.

By chance, I was looking at the PC requirements for WaW and noticed that it was listed as having Mods support. After a couple months of playing that it became clear that Treyarch was going to dump us and we would have to wait for the next CoD installment from them to get new content. It was with that map that I realized what could actually be possible for this game mode.

I played that map for a ridiculous amount of hours… Pack a Punch, teleporters, major easter eggs, hidden story line, oh man! It was absolutely amazing. However, what really gave me a massive stiffy was Der Reise. Shi No Numa came along and more of the same, but it did have the Wonderwaffe DG-2 and a zombie trap, so it was worth buying for some entertainment. This was enough to keep me entertained, but again it quickly became boring and I waited for another map pack. This was a massive improvement over Nacht because it had perks, easter eggs, and a power switch. Later, Treyarch released DLC which, to many peoples’ surprise, contained a new zombiemode map (Verrückt).
