Unlike WWII, Advanced Warfare has an interesting storyline and a unique cast of characters played by a talented celebrity cast including Bruce Campbell, John Malkovich, Jon Bernthal, Bill Paxton, and Rose Mcgowan. Personally, I miss back when that sort of thing was unique to Treyarch, but I digress.Įxo-Zombies is easily the second best non-Treyarch undead survival mode, boasting a unique artstyle and story that has a direct link to the campaign. Exo-Zombies was the first time the franchise saw Zombies without Treyarch’s involvement. Since Ghosts' unique survival mode, Extinction, failed to have the staying power as Zombies, it makes sense that future games would play the safer route and copy Treyarch’s iconic survival mode. "Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Exo-Zombies" TrailerĪdvanced Warfare’s Exo Zombies takes the base game’s advanced movement system and future setting and combines it with a basic Zombies mode. The bosses in this game have incredibly terrifying designs Overall, it’s a pretty basic Zombies game that pulls off the mode well enough to warrant its existence. Heck, they even pale in comparison to Infinite Warfare’s and Advanced Warfare’s main crew. The characters don’t have a ton of depth and lack the personality that Treyarch’s characters typically have. However, the game does suffer from some of the same issues as Vanguard. I appreciate the grimmer tone they were going for here and in some ways it does pay off. The art style itself is pretty striking and a lot of the creatures look genuinely terrifying as a result. But there are still some things of worth here. This game is a basic round based Zombies experience that doesn’t change very much from the core gameplay World At War established. Sledgehammer Games’s second attempt at Zombies sets the game in WWII, this time going for more horror than the previous few entries had. I blame Activision for giving Treyarch so little time and resources to develop a proper game mode. It sucks and I will never ever recommend something that no one involved cared about. Put more emphasis on skins and Fortnite wannabe garbage than making an actual game. Recycle all the weapons, effects, and animations. No innovation, no pushing the bar, just recycle everything previous games did. It’s barebones, boring, uninspired and represents everything I hate about new Call of Duty. Vanguard Zombies is the worst version of Zombies in the worst game of the entire franchise. This game had no pause button when it was released. Upon its release, Vanguard Zombies had no round based survival, terrible maps, no wonder weapons (the Ray Gun was added later), no easter eggs, no interactivity, no songs, no new perks, no pause button. This Zombies mode should have never been made and is missing the staples that were the cornerstone for over a decade. It’s also the most hated Zombies mode of all time. It serves as a prequel to Cold War, detailing the background of the evil ancient gods dwelling in the Dark Aether. "Call of Duty: Vanguard Zombies" First LookĪfter the successful reviving of the Zombies mode by Cold War, Activision had Treyarch develop a last minute Zombies mode set in the Dark Aether storyline. That means, no Black Ops DS, no iOS/Android games. So, with Modern Warfare III’s new take on Zombies right around the corner (as of writing this), I thought we’d take a look at all ten console/PC Zombies modes. Heck, it has cemented the careers of some of the biggest gaming creators on the web, such as Vanosgaming, who recently did a throwback video where he plays WaW’s Verruckt with his friends. Big names in the community are still creating content centered around World At War to this day. The Zombies community is one of the most friendly and passionate and have kept every game alive for over a decade. It may not have the instant gratification and appeal of the franchise’s multiplayer counterpart, but you better believe it has its appeal. No other game gets my blood pumping the way a tense match of zombies does, narrowly escaping death in the higher rounds, whooping and hollering in amazement that I managed to survive. Call of Duty’s Zombies mode holds a very special place in my heart.
