Call of Duty: Black ops Cold War Zombies – Polygon

The newest upcoming Call of Duty game, Black ops Cold War, will see the return of the fan-favorite Zombies mode. The mode retains the popular 4-player co-op and features Cold War-era weapons to use against the undead. Initially, the story follows a group of agents exploring a WWII German bunker that started the zombie outbreak. Cold War Zombies is bringing back all the past popular gameplay elements, adding on to them, and also removing some restrictions. Players can also use Field Upgrades, which sound similar to those in Modern Warfare, and call in for an evac after a certain point if they want, though doing so will cause zombie spawns to increase to such levels that prevent players from ending the match.
