Call of Duty: Black Ops will feature Zombies

Call of Duty: Black Ops, one of the biggest video games to appear at the end of the year, will officially feature a co-operative multiplayer mode with zombies in it, the same that was featured on Treyarch's previous Call of Duty: World at War title.

The co-op mode was rumored for quite some time, but not until recently was it actually backed up by some proof.

A Treyarch executive teased about an upcoming announcement about the multiplayer mode last week, while the official Brady Games strategy guide had information about a Zombie co-operative mode.

Now, Treyarch and Activision, the developer and publisher of Call of Duty: Black Ops, have officially revealed that the title will feature a co-op Zombie mode, besides all of its previously revealed multiplayer modes.

"Zombies have been such a hit with our community that we were committed to bringing brand new zombie experiences to Call of Duty: Black Ops," said Treyarch Studio Head, Mark Lamia in the announcement.

"We've taken extra special care to retain the essential ingredients of our Zombie game, and have also crafted a nice surprise for the fans."

Besides the multiplayer mode featured in World at War, the popular zombie killing mode was also turned into a best selling iPhone app, titled, what else, Call of Duty: World at War Zombies.

Speaking of that, a new map for the app will be launched today, in order to celebrate the announcement.

The new mode will no doubt place players in the same survival situation, in a remote location and will require them to shoot as many waves of zombies as possible before getting killed by the undead horde.

Until Black Ops will appear, on November 9, those that want to kill zombies can already do that in Dead Rising 2, as well as in the upcoming Undead Nightmare DLC pack for Red Dead Redemption.

WHO THINKS THERE SHOULD BE A BIG ZOMBIE AT THE END AND MAKE AN ENDING AT ROUND 50 OR SOMTHIN

Game is going to be horrible. The new zomies has arcade style play and will be looking like Konami's 'Zombie Apocalypse' bad bad bad dont buy this game or at least wait and buy it used at best buy or gamestop. Guarantee you will regret the zombie gameplay for this game and besides they are already advertising for modern warfare 3 so many flaws and glitches in modern warfare 2 that it would be a waste to get this game. Graphics on the commercial looked bad. Although it is 2010 and I live in America what the F else am I going to do except sit around and play call of duty with a bag of grass.

I just hope they've built this game on MW2 rather than WaW. Let's face it, WaW's saving grace was Nazi Zombies, it felt more like COD3 than a modern FPS. Even COD4 feels "newer" than WaW. The gameplay and the throwbacks like Attack Dogs and Zombies (along with the bitter rivalry between Infinity Ward and Treyarch) makes me worry that it will be an upgraded version of WaW rather than taking the many, many things MW2 did right (like it's PERFECT core mechanics) and improving on it. I hope I'm way off, it looks awesome either way, but I just get a vibe from watching the gameplay that it's like World at War. Say what you want about MW2's annoyances, but there's nothing out there that can compare to the formula they've perfected.

im sure everyone is allowed ther opinion but come on mw2 is * all those * using tactical spawning with people on the other team so they could boost for killstreaks all the hacks the holes in mw2 are so big you could fall into the fuc*ers the game is a big let down give me world at war any time more realistic with no stupid killstreaks i.e nukes and stupid perks like commando pro whitch basicly means you can stab some one from 30 foot away the whole game is a big glitch and its gunna need a big patch to sort it out and that patch is black ops i would like to see the dirty mw2 campers and boosters play one in the chamber on black ops they got no cance againts real players regards

It won't necessarily have the same improvements found in MW2 because Black Ops (much like WaW) is developed by Treyarch, whereas MW and MW2 were developed by Infinity Ward.
