Call of Duty: Zombies Receives New Maps And Zombie Variants
October 1, 2010
Activision did a bit of a freshening up yesterday for Call of Duty: Zombies. This latest release contains new map content and some new zombie variants to focus your crosshairs on.
Previously only available through in-app purchase, the "Verruckt" (Zombie Asylum) and "Shi No Numa" (Zombie Swamp) maps are now unlocked for free. Verruckt is the same as it was before, but Shi No Numa adds some new playability:
• New weapons featuring the Wunderwaffe DG-2. Fry hordes of zombies with a single blast from this shockingly powerful new weapon.
• Survive the Hellhounds! Ferocious and fast, the Hellhounds will test your reflexes and your team's ability to work together.
• New playable characters! Play as Tank Dempsey (US), Takeo Masaki (Japan), Nikolai Belinski (USSR), and the infamous Dr. Richtofen (Germany).
• New Zombie traps including the Flogger for massive Zombie destruction and the Zipline for quick getaways.
And the brand new map "Der Riese" (Zombie Factory) features:
• The all-new Pack A Punch Machine allows you to upgrade ANY of your weapons: Increased Firepower, More Ammo, and a new Metal Finish.
• New Teleporters allow you and your team to zip around this enormous map and evade the oncoming Zombie Horde.
• The Bowie Knife allows to you take down higher level zombies in one quick blow.
• Favorites such as the Hell Hounds, the Wunderwaffe lightning gun, and the Perks-a-Cola Machines return.
• The online 4-player co-op action you've come to expect returns with even more intensity.
Call of Duty: Zombies is compatible with iPhone and iPod touch running iOS 3.0 or later. Activision recommends an iPhone 3G, 2nd generation iPod touch, or better for optimal gameplay experience.
Get your copy of Call of Duty: Zombies v1.5 in the App Store for only $4.99, 50% off of the previous price tag. It's not clear how long this new price will stick around, so interested parties should get going while the going's good.
Now that iOS fans have all four zombie maps, is that enough to keep you occupied, or even entice you to finally invest in the Call of Duty: Zombies experience on your iDevice?
