Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombies Mode Gets Surprising Details

Those that don't want their Call of Duty: Black Ops experience spoiled should shield their eyes, as massive and surprising details about the game's Zombies mode have just hit the web, thanks to a leaked video.

According to a brand new video uploaded to YouTube, and promptly taken down by Activision, the co-operative Zombies multiplayer mode in Call of Duty: Black Ops will feature some unique characters.

How unique, you ask? You will get to play as either former United States presidents John Fitzgerald Kennedy and Richard Nixon, former US secretary of defense Robert McNamara, or as Cuban dictator Fidel Castro.

For those that can't believe their eyes, this is not a joke.

According to the few details that came with the video, at the end of the game's single-player mode, which features Black Ops operative Alex Mason, the game shows a secret meeting in the White House with JFK, Nixon, McNamara and Castro talking after the Cuban missile crisis.

Just as talks are beginning, zombies invade the presumably secure room, so the government officials are forced to take action.

JFK even advises his fellow dignitaries to "Lock and Load" after revealing a secret weapons cache.

The video leaked on YouTube then showed actual gameplay, with the four government officials killing zombies left and right, just like in the first zombies co-operative mode featured in Call of Duty: World at War.

In that game, players were in the shoes of unknown soldiers that were trapped in either abandoned houses, asylums or other such locations, and needed to fend off the zombie horde for as long as possible.

A copy of the YouTube video is still online, surprisingly, but expect Activision to pull it down as soon as possible.

Until then, the company did reveal an official launch trailer for Black Ops, which will arrive on November 9 for the PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii.

Check out the leaked Black Ops zombies mode video below and then the launch trailer for Black Ops, which showcases JFK.

i think zombies is not good atall cos only on the first round can u kill them by knifing them nd i play solo nd i can never get past 11th round which sucks i mean there is 99 rounds why not make them a bit easyer so people can actually get diferent weapond nd more points for cola so the level is more fun


Comment #13 by: andrewc092 on 30 Dec 2010, 12:50 UTC reply to this comment

and its anoying how u cant actually finish zombies because there is no point in playing it if u have nothing to aim for so please make it easyer nd a end to the levels

Comment #13.1 by: mj37 on 14 Mar 2011, 18:43 GMT

I disagree. I think that the point is to get as high as you possibly can. Yeah, you never "win" but you aren't supposed to win against zombies anyway. The zombies always eat you in the end. It's a lot more fun if you study the maps and strategies. http://blackopszombies.info has a bunch of maps and stuff. Once you know where the weapons and perks are, it's a ton more fun.

Comment #13.2 by: zombie murderizer on 08 Oct 2011, 02:27 GMT

sure there is a point! have a competition with ppl who can get the highest score
