Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War shows off new Zombies map ‘Firebase Z’

‘It gets up and kills… The people it kills get up and kill’

Anybody currently popping the heads of the undead in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War might need to check they have a good restock of Jugger-Nog, as Treyarch is preparing to drop an entirely new map on February 4, which will see the strike team touch down in post-war Vietnam.

As showcased in the new trailer below, Firebase Z will whisk players from the subterranean world of Die Maschine and deposit them deep into a jungle outpost, where they continue to follow the footsteps of operative Samantha Maxis. At Firebase Z, players will fend off another decaying horde, utilizing anomalies to teleport around the battlefield, while uncovering new lore and discovering secrets, such as a powerful new Wonder Weapon. Given some of the Elites on show in this video, you’re gonna need it.

It took me quite a while to “get” Zombies. For the longest time I just saw it as a poor man’s Left 4 Dead, (a not wholly unfair argument). But as I explored deeper into the mode’s lore, secrets, hidden weapons, and strategic use of funds and resources, I really started to get a kick out of its ebb and flow, though I still think you need to play in a well synergized team in order to really make the best of it. Regardless, I’m definitely up for more. Brrrap.
