Call of Duty: Black Ops Zombie

Call of Duty: Black Ops
Kino der Toten

















The first zombie map from Black Ops is Kino der Toten, which is German for "Cinema of the Dead." You get the map at the start of the game and it takes place in an abandoned cinema/theater. There's some new components to the zombie mode, such as the Crawler zombies, fire pit traps, and some new wonder weapons. The Ray gun is a returning weapon from the previous zombie maps, and the wonder weapon introduced in Kino is the Thundergun. The storyline for it is pretty interesting. Kino der Toten is originally the place that Dr. Ludvig Maxis would teleport to and unveil the Teleporter itself to the military. Maxis was killed by Doctor Richtofen (a character you play as) along with his daughter Samanta Maxis, so the theater remained closed. After World War II ended, the Americans got to Der Riese (zombie map in World at War) and took everything there, such as the Teleporters and Ray gun which is on the map Five. They kept those things at the Pentagon, but the zombies teleported with them. The teleporters are all connected so the zombies teleported all around Kino der Toten and on Five.

Five





















The other zombie map, Five, is locked until you beat the campaign. There is a way to unlock it without playing the campaign though. At the waiting screen, you get up from your seat by pressing 'LT' and 'RT' repeatedly until you break free. From there you walk around and find a computer and type in "3arc unlock" I still don't know the storyline for Five just yet. It does connect with the other maps. In Ascension, there's red phones that connect to the ones in Five. You can hear Nixon go "Aroooooooo" then shoot some zombies on one phone, and the other phone Fidel Castro picks up. 

I won't talk much about Ascension, I haven't played it much since I didn't get the First Strike. Just didn't seem worth it. But the Escalation map pack is definitely going to be worth it. 4 maps: Zoo, Convoy, Hotel, and Stockpile. And a new zombie map called "Call of the Dead," which is based off of Discovery/Project Nova in the campaign.
