The First Room
On ZFRR, the First Room of Five Remastered is the conference room on the top floor of the Pentagon, where every game begins, as on the Black Ops map it remakes. The four players spawn around the long meeting table, under the flags and the wall of television screens, and everything they reach without buying a door is the First Room. The map has two game modes, Legacy and Modernized, chosen on a menu when the game loads. The leaderboard has two categories, Modern and Classic.
The screens are not just decor: at the start of a game they play the opening cutscene of the 2010 map, with Kennedy, McNamara, Nixon and Castro, several guides noted. The power switch is two floors down, in the labs, and the DEFCON switches that open the way to the Pack-a-Punch, like the main quest, come after it.
The M14
On a wall of the conference room, bought in the first minutes in both modes. In a Legacy game of ZombiesTodayTV, buying it takes the 500 points of the start.
Quick Revive
In a small white side room open onto the conference room. In a solo Legacy game, the score drops from 500 to 0 as ZombiesTodayTV drinks it. MrTLexify also finds it at the very start of a Modernized game.
A GobbleGum machine
In the starting area, in Modernized only: Legacy disables the GobbleGums. A window barrier next to it hides one of the recorders of the main quest.
The metal detectors
Two electric traps of the top floor. Each lacks a part found on the lower floors, and the prompt says so: “Access Denied: Requires operational component”. The missing parts lie in the War Room and in the labs.
The intro on the screens
The wall of televisions behind the table plays the original opening cutscene when the game starts.
A red telephone
The first of the three phones of the song Easter egg, next to Quick Revive, on the desk of its small side room. The two others, in the labs and in the Pack-a-Punch room, are out of reach.
Enemies
Zombies, through the window barriers of the room. No guide read for this book says whether the Pentagon Thief visits a First Room game; the Nova crawlers come out in the labs.
Players on the Workshop page regret that the glass of the window barriers cannot be broken as in 2010; the update of July 11 removed the collision of these glass barriers. One player also reported that only about half of the windows of the first room are used by the zombies, and the same ones every game; neither creator confirmed it.
The Five Remastered leaderboard shows two categories, Modern and Classic, each with boards for solo and for co-op; the menu of the game names its two modes Modernized and Legacy. In both, no door may be opened and every round is played in full. Five Remastered is a custom map: it is listed with the Black Ops III custom maps, and its boards count in no ranking and no rating. The 2010 map has its own book, Five. The rules, category by category:
Doors closed
“Reach the highest round you can without opening any doors or barriers.” “Every round must be played in full.”
