Black Ops II: First taste of the Zombies Mode


So it’s not too long until the Black Ops II release on November 13th, and until now, Treyarch has remained pretty damn quiet about one of the game’s most eagerly anticipated features - the Zombies mode. Now as a big Zombie fan, I’m pretty excited about this feature, especially since the Treyarch studio head, Mark Lamia, claimed that Black Ops II will see “the most ambitious zombies ever” and remarked that it will in fact almost be “another game entirely."

The teaser trailer itself hints at the use of a mobile hold off area, perhaps a bus, or a monorail, which will certainly add another dynamic to the game. Either way it is looking pretty damn good, and that is just from a forty second clip. Other confirmed features? Well, as a gal myself I am pretty excited about the new female characters that will be involved, I mean just check out the promo picture of the girl holding a shotgun and a zombie head, pretty badass right?! Add to that the co-op aspect, well that has been boosted to eight players rather than four. This in itself hints that Black Ops II - Zombies, is going to be huge, and a dominant part of the game.



Maybe it is the atmospheric music in the teaser trailer that has me filled with excitement, or Treyarch being so secretive, but most probably it’s my impatience to destroy some zombies and try to survive a new challenge, with even bigger maps and new settings. Whatever the reason, I am excited to see what the Zombies trailer will reveal. Will the clip on September 26th show us what crazy undead animals will be added this time, to better the demonic dogs and mental monkeys, or will it hint at new perks that will give the game a whole new edge?

Either way, I’m anticipating September 26th eagerly, and even more so the November release date, so I can get my own paws on a copy and give it a run myself. Zombies is going to be bigger than ever in Black Ops II, and one can only hope, better than ever.

I wish this was the trailer. I can't wait for zombies. It has taken over as my favorite mode in Call of Duty. I think that this one should be shaped around multi player entirely with a create-a-class based off of the original MP design. You could create a class based on what you thought was best, then only on your screen, would the guns on the wall/perk machines match what you chose.
Or you could just start out powered up....I mean, the zombies always win anyway.
Good Article
