This year\u2019s PC release comes with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/wikis\/call-of-duty-black-ops-7\/How_to_Enable_Secure_Boot_on_PC_for_BO7\"><u>frustrating new anti-cheat<\/u><\/a> that seemingly caused my CPU fan to choose death instead, so while I would normally base my playtime on that version, as God intended, I am initially slumming it on PlayStation 5 to bring you some early impressions of this year\u2019s Zombies mode. I still have tons left to see as the community collectively hunts for Easter eggs and solves mysteries, but so far I\u2019m interested in digging into what\u2019s here, even if it may take a bit to get to the vital organs underneath these bones.<\/p>\n<p>Zombies is my favorite part of Call of Duty, simultaneously the stupidest, silliest side thing the series has ever done and probably big enough to be a small video game in its own right. I remarked on a similar feeling in last year&#8217;s review, but remember when this was a serious game series about war, and you were storming the beaches of Normandy, machine gun fire spraying sand in your face? When you died, you used to get quotes about how terrible war was from men who had lived it. Now, I play roulette on a big mystery box covered with skulls for weapons, the best of which is a ray gun, so I can shoot zombies in the face while a disembodied voice who calls himself the Warden taunts me from afar; my character quips about how said voice reminds him of his high school gym teacher. Zombies has been doing this for a while now, but I still don\u2019t know whether to laugh or weep.<\/p>\n<aside>\n<h2><u>What I said about Call of Duty: Black Ops 6&#8217;s Zombies mode<\/u><\/h2>\n<section data-transform=\"ignvideo\" data-slug=\"call-of-duty-black-ops-6-zombies-video-review\" data-loop=\"\"><\/section>\n<p>I can sum up Black Ops 6\u2019s Zombies mode with a quote from one of the guys I was playing with: \u201cI don\u2019t think I have the right sniper rifle, because enemies aren\u2019t exploding.\u201d He wasn\u2019t being figurative; there\u2019s a sniper rifle that, when upgraded, literally shoots grenades. There are spider monsters that explode from the corpses of dead zombies and hordes so big that, if you\u2019re not careful, they will kill your whole team before one of you can say \u201cplease revive me, I have a raygun.\u201d It is absurd and campy and amazing and goofy in all the right ways, and when you clear a map for the first time, that monumental task will have you feeling equal parts exhausted and triumphant. I\u2019m so happy round-based gameplay is back after our brief detour last year, and I love that we have two interesting maps to choose from. There are some annoyances here in terms of bugs, but that hasn\u2019t made me want to stop playing. In fact, I think I\u2019ll hop back into Terminus tonight. There are a couple more Easter Eggs I wanna track down. And who knows? Maybe, eventually, I\u2019ll play the rest of Black Ops 6. But right now, I\u2019ve got zombies to kill. &#8211; <em>Will Borger, October 31, 2024<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Score: 8<\/h2>\n<p>Read my full <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/call-of-duty-black-ops-6-zombies-review\">Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Zombies review.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>There is allegedly a story here \u2013 Raul Menendez, who apparently has been alive and drinking beer on his porch for the last decade, is back and threatening to cause chaos the world over, there\u2019s a shady security company somehow involved, and massive, violent zombie death, of course. All of it is very well-produced and so goofy that the only thing I could do was watch the introductory cutscene while emulating the face that I imagine a cow would make if you gave it cocaine, chuckle a little, and get on with it. I suppose I answered my own question there, huh?<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s Zombies is hard to get a handle on so far because so much of what Zombies does will come down to the community working out the new maps in the coming days and perhaps weeks. Right now, we\u2019re all kind of bumbling about, figuring out what\u2019s what, which is simultaneously fun and frustrating. Many of the pain points from last year remain early on \u2013 for instance, you can\u2019t make your loadout until you hit level four, which means if Zombies is all you want to do (and for me, it is), you\u2019re stuck with a pistol and whatever you can earn by buying stuff on the walls after you\u2019ve dispatched enough undead. Remember when games just let you have fun from the outset instead of unlocking it?<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"quoteBox\">I still love sliding at a group of zombies and firing a shotgun until they\u2019re paste.<\/section>\n<p>Otherwise, the underpinnings of Zombies feel much the same. You\u2019re on a map, you open up new doors and paths with currency you earn, and you\u2019ve got Pack-a-Punch machines to upgrade your guns. There\u2019s additional armor you can apply plastered to the walls, an Arsenal to really crank up specific aspects of your weapons, Gobblegums for a little flavor if your mouth is lonely and you want a mid-battle pick-me-up, and so on. And of course, while you\u2019re managing all of this, the undead rise and hunger for flesh. Ghouls, man. <\/p>\n<p>The gameplay here is similar to last year\u2019s \u2013 I still love sliding at a group of zombies and firing off a shotgun until they\u2019re just paste and all that. No, what\u2019s new are the maps. I\u2019ve played both maps in their round-based modes, Ashes of the Damned and Vandorn Farm (the latter seems to be a part of the former, but I haven\u2019t reached it in the standard mode yet), and so far I prefer the farm. Ashes of the Damned seems to be home to what will be the more traditional \u201cfind the secrets to finish the map\u201d fare, while Vandorn Farm is more of a \u201cyou\u2019re locked in here with the undead, kid, so try not to die too much\u201d deal.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"ignvideo\" data-slug=\"call-of-duty-black-ops-7-zombies-15-minutes-of-ashes-of-the-damned-gameplay\" data-loop=\"\"><\/section>\n<p>Our run on the former ended when one of my teammates, who didn\u2019t communicate with the rest of us, grabbed a truck and started driving it to the next objective\u2026 before he decided it might be more fun to smash into the zombies until it exploded. The rest of us spent most of the map either trying to catch up to the truck or waiting in vain to be revived after we all died. It went about as well as you\u2019d think. I\u2019m interested in seeing what Ashes of the Damned has to offer with a more talkative crew; right now, if you\u2019d told me I\u2019d hallucinated the whole thing, I\u2019d believe you.<\/p>\n<p>The farm is more old-school. Zombies hang from the rafters in the big barn, the smaller one houses the Mystery Box where each of my teammates made offerings in the fleeting hope of a Ray Gun, and there was a house with a skeleton family sitting at the dinner table and a roof in desperate need of, well, more roof. It was a much more interesting map than Ashes of the Damned, and I enjoyed navigating its twists and turns, learning where everything was, and spending the in-between time killing the misbegotten horrors that were formerly people.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"quoteBox\">As is usually the case, success will largely depend on how the maps shake out.<\/section>\n<p>The problem, once again, was that we couldn\u2019t figure out what to do yet. There was some mysterious infection growing on one of the machines that seemed to power the farm, but after we destroyed it, our objective told us to wait for it to come back. So we did, killing zombies and upping the round count. The issue is the infection never did reappear. Normally, this is a good thing. The antibiotics worked and the patient is recovering well, thank you. In this case, it meant we got to round eight, nothing happened, the four of us spent several minutes looking for any zombies we somehow missed or a way to progress, and then all three of my teammates left the game after we couldn\u2019t figure out what came next. Hard to blame them. The farm\u2019s cool, but I&#8217;d prefer something with some warmer colors and fewer rotting corpses, you know?<\/p>\n<p>Like I said, I\u2019m never sure what to make of Call of Duty, and that extends to this year\u2019s Zombies. It certainly plays well and you can see the absurd amount of money spent to develop it on-screen \u2013 but the ooey, gooey, juicy parts of the mode haven\u2019t revealed themselves to me quite yet. As is usually the case, its success will largely depend on how the maps shake out. I\u2019ll need a bonesaw and a ribspreader to get to the still-beating heart of this thing, but that\u2019s fine. I can\u2019t say I\u2019m not interested in seeing what\u2019s in there. I just hope I don\u2019t get anything on me in the process.<\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"poll\" data-id=\"c891fb4e-ef59-456a-b7a9-b62f8fbc5158\"><\/section>\n\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Note: This review specifically covers the Zombies mode in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7.
