Iedereen verheugt zich natuurlijk op Call of Duty: Black Ops. Daaronder zijn ook veel mensen die de zombiemodus uit Call of Duty: World at War erg veel gespeeld hebben. Deze zien deze modus dus graag weer terug in de volgende Call of Duty-game.

In een interview met studiohoofd Mark Lamia had hij het over veteraan Major John Plaster en dat ze Call of Duty: Black Ops een beetje op zijn boek hebben geïnspireerd. Lamia vertelt:

One of the veterans we talked to was Major John Plaster. He’s a SOG, which stands for Studies and Observations Group, but some call it Special Operations Group. The SOG conducted black-ops in Southeast Asia, and in some territories which people disavowed knowledge of existing. He conducted a lot of his missions that he writes about in his book [Behind Enemy Lines with the Elite Warriors of SOG]. And when you read his book and see what he and his comrades did, and read about people who didn’t make it back – that’s quite sobering. So yeah I tell him that we’re making this entertainment experience, that we’re not looking to mimic his book but certainly we drew inspiration from it. His first response was that he said his Grandson was playing World at War and he was blowing the heads off of some zombies, and that he was very excited to hear that we called him.

Toen heel direct naar de zombies gevraagd werd, antwoordde Lamia het volgende:

I cannot confirm or deny that we’re putting them in. Do you want to see them in? Here’s what I can say; we’re really appreciative and we’re happy because adding them in before was a really risky thing to do. The second thing I can say is that we do listen to the community. The third thing I can say is that we’re really looking forward to creating a really fun co-op experience. But I have to leave it at that.

Als je dit zo leest, is de kans dus redelijk groot dat we weer met de zombiemodus aan de slag kunnen in Call of Duty: Black Ops. Waarschijnlijk krijgen we op de E3 meer informatie.
