Is it possible to get through zombies levels with randoms in BO6?

Played director and nobody knew what they were doing. I was stuck doing the crank in the bowling alley in Liberty falls directed mode and no one was covering me while i was cranking it. Died easily. Will the standard mode be easy in terms of progressing missions? I so badly want to enjoy zombies, fighting its bosses especially but the game seems geared towards co-op play.
