With the latest Call of Duty now less than a week away, a video has appeared online which appears to show a top-down co-op version of the game’s zombie mode.
The video, which has now been removed from YouTube “due to a copyright claim by Activision Games Inc.”, showed a top-down twin-stick shooter with power-ups that carry across from the full 3D zombies mode. Mark Lamia, head of Treyarch, previously mentioned a “nice surprise for fans” of World at War’s bonus mode back at the original announcement of zombies earlier this year. That’ll be the surprise spoilt early then.
The name “Dead Ops Arcade” appeared in the leaked achievement/trophy list from September, and now it looks like we know what it is. The regular zombie mode would probably be just “Dead Ops”.
Like you need to be reminded, Call of Duty: Black Ops will be released on PS3, 360 and PC on November 9th.

Top down, twin sticks, a little away from the usual aint it?
Ryan1991
Would be pretty awesome. Just another mode added to what already looks great.

Yes, everything about it does look good.
Peter Rushton
a legit reason to skip work/school ;)
tonycawley
Clearly not!

Outrageous Peter Ruston for several reasons: 1) If you are skipping school you’re clearly too young to buy the game, 2) I pay my taxes to fund your schooling! As long as you’re not pwning me (or whatever they say these days) and shouting abuse at me I’ll write you a note!
ShovellyJoe
Just because he suggested school doesn’t mean he’s still at school matey. :P

`Here’s hoping Black Ops doesn’t get swamped with kids like MW2 online did/has. 18 certificate? Is that the age you’re meant to be over or under?!
BIGAL-1992
18 or over. And why the hell is everyone starting to use their names as a user name all of a sudden?
tonycawley
I’ve always used my name as my user name on every single website i’ve ever used (apart from the ones it’s best not to mention!) :-)

7 days!! I saw something where you can have a ‘Thunder Gun’ in Zombies. I don’t know what that is, but it sounds awesome!
BIGAL-1992
Well it gets better. Did you hear you can play as JFK in the Nazi zombies mode?
gazzagb
Yep! :)

I didn’t want this game until literally a week ago. Everything they are doing seems to be a massive improvement on MW2, ACK. Someone give me a job?
tonycawley
I’ll give you 25% of my salary if you do my job for me? Would keep you in games at least, though you’d have little time to play them.

Zombie mode = in science labs.
Zombies = The subjects that became zombies after the experiments.
Can’t wait!
stingraz
oh wait, just saw footage of it.
Turns out ..
players will be able to play as JFK, Richard Nixon, Fidel Castro or Robert McNamabra
The trailer shows the zombies in the pentagon, with you controlling one of the above.
It looks very very good.
BIGAL-1992
Yup. Sounds like it could be a barrel of laughs. (As long as the Daily mail don’t play it)
