Black Ops 2 Zombies detailed at Gamescom

4.4


With the next installment to the Call of Duty series approaching, that being “Black Ops 2,” many fans have been desperately awaiting news related to the implementation of the popular Zombie Mode. This past week at Gamescom, a lot of information was revealed about the multiplayer portion of Black Ops 2, but there was an absence of news related to the Zombie Mode. In light of this, we have discovered an interview that was conducted at Gamescom with Treyarch Studio Head, Mark Lamia, about the use of Zombie Mode in Black Ops 2.

In the opening of the interview, Lamia confirmed that Treyarch would be conducting a complete unveiling of the Zombie Mode in the future, in addition to the information he gives in this interview. His states that Black Ops 2 Zombies will be bigger in every way. He states that the world will be bigger and there will be many new gameplay mechanics implemented within this mode. Treyarch wants to make sure that the base Zombie experience stays true to its nature, but there will be a lot more depth added to the game mode.

Lamia states that there will be much more that you can do with Black Ops 2 Zombies, “the strategies will blow your mind in this one.” In relation to the amount of players that will be involved with Black Ops 2 Zombies, he confirms that there will be an eight player zombie mode, but there will also be the original four player experience being implemented. The back story for the Zombie Mode will be greatly enhanced and provide much more content for players that wish to delve beneath the surface of the Zombies experience. As stated previously, Treyarch will be unveiling Zombies in a much more detailed way in the future.

Scanty
iDestroy Since Zombies has been moved to the multiplayer engine here's a fee predictions i'm going to make:

1) host migration for sure, this has been hinted at in earlier interviews the ability to drop in and drop out of games.
2) join sessions in progress - see above
3) boss waves, think dogs but a 20 foot bada$$ zombie boss
4) easter eggs on a scale we've never seen before
5) the ability to add attachments to weapons you buy
6) kill streaks in zombies, think about it, sentry guns - why wouldnt they?
7) flying type of zombie - counteracted by a SAM turrett.

I'd be willing to bet the majority of the above is implemented


Pure genius.

The only thing I can see wrong is the host migration, it's going to suck if you're right.


Actualy host migration will be awesome sense when a host rage quits the game will not end lol.

Formula I hope they implement host migration into zombies, I hate when the host leaves or gets offline.


Damn, truth be told. Some 7 year old kid has a bed time and then the whole game is ruined. I forgot about zombies, can't wait. I miss playing zombies for hours on end when I would get bored of MP. Zombies sounds hella fun right now!

We already heard zombies are supposed to be "BIGGER". Lamia stop pulling out leg (figure of speach). Gives us what we truly want. If zombies does not look good no reason for me to buy another CoD title.
