Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombie Mode Officially Announced
A press release made public by Activision today formally announces Call of Duty: Black Ops’ Zombie Mode. No specifics were made available, but for the first time, finally, the new Zombie mode has officially been recognized. The full press release can be found below, or here. Nice!
Taking the wraps off one of the most anticipated features and worst kept secrets, Treyarch revealed today that the community-favorite “Zombies” is coming to Call of Duty(R): Black Ops which hits stores worldwide on November 9th, by Activision Publishing, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI). Zombies were originally introduced in Call of Duty(R): World at War and became an instant hit. Call of Duty: Black Ops fans can combat the zombie apocalypse in up to four-player co-op gameplay.
“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,” says Treyarch Studio Head, Mark Lamia. “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.”
Today’s news follows the announcement that four updated co-op maps from Call of Duty: World at War will be made available as part of the Call of Duty(R): Black Ops Prestige and Hardened Editions, along with the premium edition Steelbook(TM) Case, custom Black Ops limited edition medal and an exclusive Black Ops Avatar outfit.
Gamers can also experience an all new co-op game in Call of Duty: Black Ops Multiplayer with Combat Training. Up to six players can rank up in this dedicated and exclusive multiplayer mode battling against enemy AI.
Call of Duty: Black Ops will release worldwide on November 9th. Pre-orders for the title are available now. Call of Duty: Black Ops for the Xbox 360(R) video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation(R) 3 computer entertainment system, Nintendo Wii(TM) and Windows(R) PC is rated “M” (Mature — Blood, Drug Reference, Intense Violence and Language). Also scheduled for release is Call of Duty: Black Ops for the Nintendo DS(TM) family of hand-held systems, which is rated “T” (Teen) by the ESRB and in development by n-Space.
Additionally, fans who can’t wait for the November 9th release of Call of Duty: Black Ops can hone their zombie combat skills on iPhone and iPod Touch starting tomorrow with the newest map release for Call of Duty: ZOMBIES, Der Riese (“Zombie Factory”), which is an adaptation of the popular downloadable content originally released for Call of Duty: World at War. Call of Duty: ZOMBIES is developed by Ideaworks Game Studio for the iPhone and iPod touch, based on Treyarch’s console version, and now all four maps from the original game are available for $4.99 from the App Store at www.itunes.com/appstore/.

I love Treyarch. Seriously, they care about the fans so much more than IW.
They even added all of the Zombie maps for FREE on the iPhone, (Considering you have the app already, if no they reduced the price in half). Infinity Ward would NEVER do that.

I think they should add a random perk box as well as the random gun one, also they should add a pack-a-punch for perks too, turning them into pro. They should also add a second gun upgrade, first upgrade should have the same design as the one in WaW and the second should have the same pattern but golden, I think that would be epic

this is what they should do, they should not have any level skips or anything in the game so people can’t hack it. then they should have explosives and stuff you can shoot, like barrels and stuff just shoot them and take some zombies out. the thing i like about the last map packs in WaW was the fact you could activate stuff to kill them and also upgrading the weapons. what made that game intense was the never ending zombies for like 10-15 minutes. but you no how they have our personal camo, and guns for multiplayer. they should go into that game. so you play with what you got and then you have separate guns in the mystery box that has special guns, but it should cost more. Oh and you no the things with the teddy bears and how u do stuff to them to unlock stuff in the game, they should put that in there cause it was really fun.

They will add teddybears, It’s their thing. W@W had teddy’s and in every MW2 map (ALL of them) had teddybears somewhere.
I’m sure they will bring back ‘dem teddy’s >:-)

The first and only teddybear I found in COD4 was on that map with a Tank in the middle of that road next to a HMMVV. It’s the same map with the two tunnels which pass underneath the main road in the middle and the same one for the single player mission ‘Charlie Surf’ ir whatever
