The Dead to Walk Again in Black Ops? Maybe.
The year was 2008, and while Rick was busy rolling, Crocs where flying off shelves, millions of people began using the Wii to get fit, and Spaghetti Cat was popping up all over the web. We’re pretty sure a historical presidential election took place somewhere in there too. In any case, the year marked Treyarch’s first foray into the zombie game with Call of Duty: World at War, and while the family name might have had something to do with it, the inclusion of a zombie mode was one of the many reasons why it was propelled into such success. Now, with the impending launch of Black Ops, many fans of the series are wondering if they’ll once again have the opportunity to wreak havoc on the living dead come this November.
In the latest issue of the Official PlayStation Magazine, Treyarch boss Mark Lamia expressed the developers satisfaction with the popular game mode and went about as far as he could without actually confirming a zombie comeback, stating,
“We really like the zombie mode, and as I mentioned I can’t talk about the co-op mode other than to say that one of the reasons we love it so much is that it feels like it was a fan-adopted mode, [...] all I can tell you is we listen to our fan base.”
Take what you will from that, but if some elements of the game truly are crafted from the considerations of its fans, we wouldn’t be too surprised to the see our gray skinned friends running aimlessly around the battlefield this fall.

I cant wait to see the direction they go with zombies.
cool
Thats the only reason I would consider renting this game is for zombie mode, treyarch makes garbage single player and competitive online. Zombie mode was the only reason most people bought W@W.
I loved and still love W@W..only COD game I play…keep up the good work Treyarch!
Treyarch does indeed suck which is why l never bought any game from them
I’d consider it IF we can hunt the zombies. These games are about us infiltrating areas and not staying put to defend.
We can still barricade the windows but we should be able to run from one house to another or just risking your life by staying out there and shooting the undead.
Shouldn’t be hard. Just use the maps that are built for multiplayer modes.
So it likely will be in it… man i might have to try out the new game. Of course i will only buy it used to not give Booby K another penny
That will definitely kill the game for me. I don’t play any game with “Zombie” characters because it just plays to the bottom side of the cesspool. If the game is good it would not need these types of characters to sell it. I think that this game is not going to sell well after all the hype of the IW/Activision legal actions.
