My hot take is that the Zombies Community wouldn't exist the way it does today if Zombies had always looked like this (the way it does now with all the UI pop-ups and showing you what to do)
Part of the reason the Zombies Community grew so much despite being a pretty niche mode was due to the mystery behind it.
Not necessarily saying it would've been more or less popular in terms of player counts, but I don't think the online presence of the mode would've been as huge.

As frustrating as it is to know that they're not likely to change much (if anything) with the matchmaking system anytime soon, it's nice to see some people on the inside can at least understand the frustration that many players feel with the system - “If you are trying to get better at the game, SBMM just rewards you with tougher opponents. I’d even say that SBMM punishes players for being good. That’s unfair, and players are right to complain about it.”
