Zombies back from the dead in Black Ops?

NewsPosted 13/08/2010 - 12:28pm GMT+1

Retailer lists Zombie maps from World at War.

Yesterday Activision announced the Call of Duty: Black Ops Prestige and Hardened editions, each coming with "four extra playable co-op maps".

According to retailer BestBuy, these maps aren't just any maps, but zombie maps made famous in Call of Duty: World at War.

Given that Black Ops won't be featuring the Nazis we assume the Nazi Zombie mode from World at War won't be returning, but a more conflict-suitable living dead mode certainly looks to be on the cards.

Whether or not the mode will be present as standard on all editions of the game, or will be offered as part of the special editions and as a DLC purchase on the regular versions remains to be seen.

Call of Duty: Black Ops is scheduled for release on November 9, 2010.

So let me get this right. A mode that was available as part of the standard package in WAW is going to be made available if you buy the (even more) Expensive editions and then for the people who only bought the regular editions, (at CoD's higher than all other games RRP), will later be able to pay to download these previously free modes. And this is good?

Does everyone just love giving their money to Acti?

Thats probably what will happen, the 4 maps will probably become DLC later on.

Yey, although i seriously doubt theyll just be for special edition holders, if they are that will suck, but hopefully They'll Become DLC anyway :/

I think it was more of a case of it was successfull in World At War , so why not let the fans have what they want again :)

I'll probably still buy this if it's super cheap on day 1 thanks to price wars. If not, rental.
