Treyarch Zombies: A Little History!

In 2008 Treyarch released World at War which was their first Call of Duty to contain there much loved zombie survival game mode. As some developers do they leave hidden as we call ‘Easter Eggs’ for players to look for and find. In this case Treyarch were working on a secret project which would be unlocked at the end of the campaign. 


With the lead up to the release of World at War the secret project was almost thrown out the window because it was taking too long to develop but after Mark Lamia played the game mode he decided that it needed to be in the game and they still managed to finish the game on time. The zombie game mode was never advertised or publicized so they could keep as a secret until the first person completed the game and let everyone know, the zombie game is revealed with a cut scene it starts straight after the campaign when the player is lying on the ground surrounded by plane parts on fire which indicates a plane crash, while the  player is taking in the surroundings a black figure seems to be running at the player which doesn't indicate anything suspicious yet but as the figure gets closer, the player can start to see that there is something wrong with the figure and before the player knows it the figure is now revealed as a zombie the screen goes black at the zombie game mode starts and is revealed.


Ever since then the Zombie game mode has become more and more popular even getting its own story line now in the newest CoD (Black ops 3) which has got people on the edge of their seats for more news leading up to the games release which unfortunately isn't until 6.11.15.
