Treyarch Boss Hints at Zombies for Call of Duty: Black Ops

Treyarch boss Mark Lamia has dropped a hint that "Zombie Mode," the battle against endless hordes of undead that was so popular in Call of Duty: World at War [http://www.callofduty.com/codww], may be making a return in Black Ops.

Call of Duty: Black Ops [http://www.treyarch.com/].

"We really like the Zombie Mode, and as I mentioned I can't talk about the co-op mode other than to say one of the reasons we love it so much is that it feels like it was a fan adopted mode, made out of passion of a lot of the team members here," he said.

"All I can tell you is we listen to the fanbase," he added. "Those are our consumers, so..."

But would killing these zombies be so much fun if they're not Nazi zombies? Maybe if we're lucky, Treyarch will make them Nazi zombies anyway, hopefully with an appropriately B-movie-flavored explanation for what they're doing in the game. After all, if you're going to do zombies, you might as well do them right. Call of Duty: Black Ops is scheduled for release on November 9.

This addition would make me a very happy person if I would be so inclined to purchase the game

 

[Bassman_2]

I was hoping zombies would make it in. I love zombie killing, and seeing as how I missed the first one, I can get a newer one with zombies still (if it was implemented)

 

[IamQ]

This addition would be a reason alone to buy the game. I just hope that they don't force you to complete the campagin in order to play it.

 

[FinalDream]

No zombies, no purchase for me. Simple.

"I smell something..."
"Is it unoriginality?"
"No, this is way more fucked up."

 

[Jared]

Would love to see this return! My favourite part of world at war!

 

[Jory]

There's something refreshing about a company dedicated to dark, gritty, realistic FPS games just saying, "You know what guys? Let's have Nazi zombies"

 

[reg42]

There better fucking be. All I want for this game is
A) Some awesome zombies to kill
B) An epic conclusion to the SP campaign.

 

[hansari]

No zombies, no purchase for me. Simple.

Quoted for truth

My friends and I played through the game, skipping every cutscene, just to reach Nazi Zombies.

 

[YouCallMeNighthawk]

AGAIN! *sigh*
I never really warmed upto COD5 zombies so i'm pretty sure not going to enjoy this one.
They need to come up with something original.

 

[Slaanax]

If they take out Commando and include Zombies this might be worth purchasing.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

I'm getting it just because it's Treyarch. Zombie Mode bored me until the DLC maps made it much better...

 

[Professor Cubbage]

As long as there's zombies and they don't blatantly copy MW2's multiplayer I'll definitely get this game.

 

[UberMore]

ZOMBIES! ZOMBIES! ZOMBIES! ZOMBIES! ZOMBIES! ZOMBIES! ZOMBIES! ZOMBIES! ZOMBIES! ZOMBIES! ZOMBIES! ZOMBIES! ZOMBIES! ZOMBIES! ZOMBIES! ZOMBIES! ZOMBIES! ZOMBIES! ZOMBIES! ZOMBIES!
GOD DAMN I LOVE THAT GAME MODE!!!!!!!

*coughs* something more constructive...

Yeah, that's cool! I really hope they do include it, and also give you an AK47 during the game mode. I'll be getting this game regardless, cos I really like Treyarch's CoD games.

 

[silver wolf009]

I had no intention of buying this. Now that this news has reached my ears, im getting this game if it comes to fluition.

 

[uppitycracker]

Meh, as long as they focus on making this a drastic improvement over WaW and COD3, I'll be happy, zombie mode or no zombie mode.

 

[silverbullet1989]

if they do include a zombie mode again, i hope for the same quality in the characters you play as, i know its slightly left 4 dead-ish but some of the lines the 4 characters in codwaw say have me in stitches.... "so much death, like eastern front all over again"

 

[Th37thTrump3t]

OOOOH zombies... KEWL. *breaks out Trench Gun and MG42* BRING IT ON BITCHEZZZZZ!!!

 

[Baldry]

I don't care if there not NAZI zombies, I just want to kill zombies!!! And maybe a zombie campaign, or a continuation of the mini plot in WAW
