Treyarch has managed to turn an unlockable extra from CoD: World at War into a fully functional sub-franchise. I think we can all agree that the Zombie mode in Black Ops was worth the price of admission all by itself.
Today, at Call of Duty XP, the boys from Treyarch gave us a behind-the-scenes look into the process that has made zombies a favorite among fans. Here are a few of the more interesting comments.
Licensing issues often leave many games forgotten. But all that aside, here are 10 classic games desperate for remasters.
The getaway
Smugglers run
Dead to rights
Worlds scariest police chases
Sure I’m missing a few.
Ape Escape.
Fun game but, wow, you need a college degree to understand the controls.
A remaster would also save you from having to constantly fight the camera.
Keep the music though. Those drum and bass tracks fit really well and haven't aged. Made me think that more games could work well with drum and bass tracks, but unfortunately it's a somewhat niche genre now.
i could have sworn i read somewhere that Remedy is remaking May Payne 1 but things have been quiet lately
One of the few Xbox games I own. I have 3 copies of it because of the many discs it has, for just in case reasons
Xenogears, Xenosaga trilogy, Vagrant Story, Drakengards, Parasite Eve and many more but I’ll start with those
The Black Ops series has featured some of the best and classic multiplayer maps in the Call of Duty franchise, and here's the top of them.
The Nerd Stash: "Developed by Treyarch Studios, Call of Duty: Black Ops games are some of the best in the series in terms of gameplay, story, and -- of course -- Zombies."
Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.
And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.
I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.
I just can't imagine a COD without zombies anymore. It's such an important mode to me, and a breath of fresh air from multiplayer.... which can get boring quickly. Spec Ops is meh. I'm not really excited for MW3 because of it. Maybe if Activision made real improvements to the multiplayer I wouldn't have to depend on zombies to be satisfied with purchasing a COD title.
why cant treyarch and IW team up to make a cod game or not have a storyline and a zombie storyline have spec ops and NZ have custom control over certain levels cheats like in MW ya know one big game!
Wait...
There was a campaign in Black Ops?!?
World at War had zombies...
That is ALL World at War had.
Modern Warfare 2 abandoned this because Infinity Ward decided to go with Spec Ops. I LOOOOOOOVE Spec Ops. It was so awesome! I wish we'd gotten more levels for it though.
Black Ops had zombies...
That is ALL Black Ops had.
Most of Infinity Ward leaves...
/franchise
I think they could be successful with a zomie-only title.
considering I've bought all W@W/BlackOps DLCs for the 1 zombie map, and never really even try the MP maps.
