BO1
The abandoned theatre of Kino der Toten, the map most players learn Zombies on and the flagship of Black Ops. A teleporter in the projection room, the Thundergun in the box, and the Nova Crawlers that come out of the vents on their own rounds.
The layout is a loop: lobby, stairs, theatre, alleys, back to the lobby. It is the friendliest map in the series to learn a training route on, and the reason a whole generation of players knows what a train is.
The First Room is the foyer. Generous space, clean sight lines and a natural circle make it the easiest spawn in Black Ops to survive in, which is precisely why the bar to enter this board is set so high. A low round here proves nothing at all.

The Kino der Toten First Room leaderboard on Zombie First Room Rankings tracks every verified run held in the starting room of Kino der Toten, on Call of Duty : Black Ops. 142 records are listed here, and the best rounds on record are 60 in solo by testerXVI, 51 in two players by benniiZ, 40 in 3 players by ZombieNando and 38 in 4 players by ZombieLegendGER.
Kino der Toten counts in one ranking. The difficulty coefficient multiplies every round reached here, which is how a round 30 on a tight starting room can be worth more than a round 50 on an open one: “High Rounds” First Room (solo 3.6, two players 3).
Kino der Toten is remembered for the abandoned theatre, the Nova crawlers, the teleporter to Pack-a-Punch and the projection room. The crew: Tank Dempsey, Nikolai Belinski, Takeo Masaki, Edward Richtofen and Samantha Maxis. Weapons and wonder weapons: Thundergun, MP40, Bowie Knife and Ray Gun. Perks on the map: Juggernog, Quick Revive, Speed Cola, Double Tap, PhD Flopper and Stamin-Up.
First Room is the purest discipline in Call of Duty Zombies: no Pack-a-Punch run around the map, no easter egg, no train through open ground. You hold the spawn room of Kino der Toten, you keep the doors closed, and you push the round counter as far as the horde allows. Every high round, world record and personal best on this page is backed by its video and checked against the reference boards before it is listed.
We do not maintain our own ruleset. ZFRR follows the competitive First Room rules written and maintained by the player Zi0 on his site B2, the reference used across the Zombies community.
B2 gathers the global rules (no memory tools, no macros, no out-of-bounds glitches, no emulators) and those specific to the First Room category: doors stay closed, fast ray, rapid fire and the fast-throw grenade glitch are forbidden, while fast knifing and split-screen remain allowed. Every change is voted on publicly.
This ranking has no fixed entry round. The column below shows the lowest round currently on the board : beating it is enough to appear.
| First Room | Mode | Lowest listed |
|---|---|---|
| Kino der Toten | Solo | 10 61 listed |
| Kino der Toten | 2P | 10 53 listed |
The version the game is played on is part of the rules. A run played on a platform or a client refused below is not listed, whatever the round or the time — and a run already on the board is removed from it.
| Platform | Rule |
|---|---|
Steam The host must show the files of the zone/Common directory and launch the game from the executable itself, not from a shortcut.
|
ALLOWED |
| Plutonium The anticheat output must stay visible : the text in the upper right corner and the checksums in the upper left corner are never covered. | ALLOWED |
BGamer Same requirement as Steam : show zone/Common and launch from the executable.
|
ALLOWED |
| Xbox 360 / One / Series | ALLOWED |
| PS3 | ALLOWED |
| PS4 / PS5 | ALLOWED |
| Wii | NOT ALLOWED |
A run that breaks these rules is not accepted, whatever the round reached. If a username, a nationality or a score looks wrong, tell us through the contact form.
