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.

mtolle06Sugarcane-Khalifaa- I wonder what the biggest zombie map will end up being like.
idk, but I hope it's bigger than der rise. :)
You do know that isn't the biggest map, right? Shi No Numa is bigger than that. Moon would have to be the largest map so far, i'd like to believe. Close second would be Ascension.
I didn't think Ascension was that big.

Like the size of two der rise's then you could have a super huge map and a tiny nuketown map.
Yeah that would be good.

Emazing-Lights It's weird how at the end it shows a player driving a motorcycle so I'm thinking you'll be able to drive vehicles?
take a look at the handle bars, it might not be a motorcycle. Its being held like a death machine would, and just because it shows rpm doesn't mean that it is a motorcycle, it could mean rounds per minute. It could be how fast the gun will shoot or how much power(damage) it will do.
