Call of Duty: Black Ops guide to include 'Nazi Zombie Coverage'
38
The thing about a Nazi zombie is that it tends not to re-die until it's been utterly obliterated. So, it's totally plausible that the Nazi Zombie scourge continued to pester ill-fortified strongholds long after World War II. Considering Treyarch's commitment to historical entertainment, the developer could definitely get away with reintroducing the evilest undead into the Cold War setting of Call of Duty: Black Ops -- and BradyGames' strategy guide could devote a chapter to surviving the persistent threat.
In fact, product descriptions for the guide on GameStop and Play-Asia highlight "Nazi Zombie Coverage" (in addition to the typical tactical advice; e.g., "Did you know? Aiming down the sights will increase the accuracy of your shot"). Presumably, the Nazi Zombie coverage will detail the "Nazi Zombies" mode in Black Ops, which has yet to be announced by Treyarch.
Nazi Zombies was first hinted at for Black Ops last month by a retail listing. The popular minigame was introduced in World at War and later became a standalone iPhone game. "Zombies in World at War was a huge success and we were blown away by how well the fans received it," Treyarch producer Dan Bunting told us in a May interview.
Update: According to statements made by Treyarch studio head Mark Lamia in the new issue of Edge (via CVG), the developer "continued to evolve [Nazi Zombies] after World At War. There was a dialogue going on with some of our hardcore community, and we were able to interact with the community and evolve -- we did that with our zombie lore." Should we be on the lookout for Soviet Zombies now? Treyarch still isn't saying for sure; though community manager Josh Olin recently tweeted: "If Zombies have anything to do with our top-secret Co-Op mode, then it's a safe bet there will be a trailer for it eventually ..."

Of course, everyone loves zombies. Don't believe me? Try and play a non-zombie game of rumble-pit in Halo : Reach's matchmaking...

Score! Why don't they stop the torture and just anounce the zombies

Another zombie game from COD? nice

I'm not paying for a guide that has such useful information as: "Did you know? Aiming down the sights will increase the accuracy of your shot"
Probably includes such other tips as: "Attempting to befriend ravenous zombies is not a particularly successful tactic"

I've been on the edge about black ops lately, but man if it's gonna have Viet Cong Zombies or Soviet zombies, i'd pay 60 bucks for that a lone

Better be Viet Cong zombies. We need some more variety.

They might as well announce the zombie mode. I couldn't see why they wouldn't include it.
The question is: will they have their own "$10 plan" for the multiplayer?

Nazi zombies is the only reason I bought World at War, I didn't even touch the campaign. So this is the only thing that would get me to buy black ops :]

This is the only reason why I would buy this game otherwise it would be a pass for me and my friends.

I'd love to see a stand-alone version come to PSN/XBL. Actually, I think the Move controller would be great to slaughter some Nazi Zombies with.
I won't be getting Black Ops.

I still remember when they replaced the pedestrians in Carmaggedon with zombies and that was considered a bad thing.
When did that change?

They'd be foolish not have zombies in this game. It was a major selling point for WaW and the primary selling point for the DLC.

No way Activision's not gonna let them not include some sort of zombie mode into Black Ops. It's something that's proven to be a hit with gamers, and thus something they can exploit for money.

I bought World At War just for Nazi Zombies and played that thing to death -- or, undeath? Really hoping the rumors are true about the mode's return in Black Ops, but PLEASE allow 4-player splitscreen this time!! I can't for the life of me imagine why offline CoD multiplayer allowed the standard 4-player split but the Nazi Zombie mode was limited to 2.
Or at the very least allow Player 2 to join an xbox live game as a Guest.
Thanks, Treyarch!

Personally I don't care what type of zombies they are, I just want that adrenaline when surrounded by a horde of zombies!

They're basically confirming it without confirming it? O.o

split screen online with zombies cool

Am I the only one that could careless about a zombie mode. If I want to kill zombies I will play dead rising 2. The are some key things that I care most about in CoD: Black Ops
1. Better MP experience then MW2 (mw2 was too campy imo)
2. A good single player story
3. Veteran difficulty that is a good compromise between MW2 and WaW (WaW imo on veteran was a nadefest but Mw2 was relatively easy.)
4. Good weapons
5. Just a good game period.
