Call of Duty Black Ops II: Zombie Mode Discussion

So as everyone has noticed Black Ops II is hinting toward a new zombie mode, and that it is being made with the multiplayer engine.  So let’s break this down and see what everyone’s opinion is on this matter. 

 So what do we know so far?  Well Black Ops II is set in a near future with advanced weaponry and equipment, but does that mean that they will use it for zombie mode?  Well let’s look, Black ops had the guns from its own selection of weaponry plus a few more added guns from world at war, the heroes from the past were flung into the future, who’s to say they won’t be again.  I don’t doubt that they will keep the same characters that we have all grown to love, and more hilarious comments are to come I’m sure. 

Next we know from the poster that there is going to be at least one female soldier.  Something we haven’t really seen in a call of duty game.  Now she definitely looks awesome since she is holding a skull on the picture.  We can also tell that the setting is post apocalyptic due to the back ground.  Does this mean that there will actually be a new set of heroes in this version of survival horror?  Or will there be more? She is also holding a standard double barrel shotgun which implies that those weapons will be in there.  I’m really hoping that all in all there won’t be any phaser guns or laser guns in Call of Duty Black Ops II since it is in the future, but I expect there to be a few. What guns do you want to see come back? 

So what about this multiplayer engine?  I mean everyone plays multiplayer on Call of Duty, how could this effect the Zombie Mode of play.  Well there has to be something different, the original zombie modes have had multiplayer up to 4.  But does this mean that we could see a whole cityscape of zombies and a team of survivors like a team of 8-16?  Now I know this sounds like it would be amazing but I really wonder how much the engine can push.  I mean in Black Ops as the levels got much higher, say in the 20-30’s things began to become bogged down and the game would slow down as the zombies began to flood in.  I don’t know if the game can keep up with this kind of demand if 16 or even 8 people were playing at the same time.  The area of battle would have to be much larger to keep up.  It definitely makes me wonder about all the emphasis on this feature is going to be. 

 What do you think?  Please post a comment and tell us what you think the new Zombie Mode has in store for us. You have my opinion what is yours?
