Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 'Zombies' terrorize an open world
Though its popularity has grown with each Call of Duty release tasked to Treyarch – the team behind this fall's Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 – the developer has never attempted to attach a fiction to the mode. As Lamia tells us, the fervent zombie mode fan community has taken on that job for itself.
"The story is kind of crowd-sourced. It's this phenomenon. It was amazing, when we put it out, people wanted to attach a story to it and you saw them start to do it." Fans began to link elements from the zombies mode, Lamia notes – including everything from textures used in the mode to weapons strewn about – in order to connect it to the franchise's established narrative.
With its most aggressive fans busy thrusting themselves into the role of fan fiction auteur, Treyarch continues to expand the zombie play space. So much has its concept for the mode grown, it's hard to imagine we won't one day see zombies as its own standalone game in the future. Until then, the latest iteration of the zombies mode is peppered with the same ambition we've seen scattered throughout the rest of Black Ops 2.

FifthElement So is transit one giant map that you can walk around without having to take the bus? Please clarify somebody?
I mean one map without having to go through loading screens to get to a different part of the world.
I hope it is. I'd love to have big maps like Battlefield for Zombies.

BuckyBucked How can this be brand new huh? Same annimations, sounds. OMG new weapons characters and settings. Wow yall are dumb doesn't map packs always have more maps. Oh new zombie maps have newer weapons. Looks like someone took the same files from blops and put them in this one. Activision is not stealing my money. I bet if I made a custom artwork box with Call of Duty on it I bet yall just buy it 'cause it's CoD.
What you just said didn't even make any sense. Please use better logic. Next.
