I was playing Town. I am unaware of any decent wall weapons, and either way my enjoyment comes from having a weapon capable of actually doing something and the only way to achieve that is to get something decent from the box. I don't expect a Ray gun but even a decent AR would make it worth it over a wall weapon. There's honestly not much tactic to zombies that the mystery box breaks. Even the best gun can only get you so far. The only true tactic to zombies is running a train. All their additions and changes still does nothing to change the fact the train is the most effective way to "win" at Zombies.

Town is definitely based on luck, that map doesn't have any good guns in it and also in tranzit it's empty. If you are looking for a casual map I would suggest Nuketown zombies like Rexx said because it is the most casual map. there are 3 places for the mystery box and they are all near each other. Very decent guns on the walls if you dont have any luck with the box. The only issue I have with the map is the countdown for every perk to drop. Usually juggernaut will drop from 1-3 time but it is pretty easy to survive before going down to round 30. At round 30 you should already have al perks down and pack a punch. Plus after a while in zombies all you really do is keep using the box to find a good weapon to pack a punch. If you dont have Nuketown then I would stick to tranzit or town. Tranzit is fun because there are lots of good weapons on the wall, even some that are not in main landmarks (ex: m16 and bowie knife). Tranzit is easier to survive off walls on guns then town. For a casual game on the other hand I would just go off on town and hope you get a good weapon from the box. But the starting maps on Black Ops 2 are not very good, they are a new style but not the same as they were before. It's a different challenge now because you have to rely on the box and building different things to keep playing.
