"Call of the Dead" Zombie Map Thoughts

[Tac]

Hey, thanks for reading this guys, I am breaking down briefly but precisely what I like, dislike, and all that jazz about this new map, “Call of the Dead.”

First and foremost, Call of the Dead is set in a mysterious, ice-covered, remote Siberian island and inspired by legendary writer and director George A. Romero, a group of four fearless explorers fight for their lives amidst an army of bloodthirsty Soviet zombies.

After reading that, it sounds cool already. After watching 2 videos, the Official Trailer and the Inside Xbox Breakdown, it is easily the biggest map in Zombies ever, and most likely multiplayer. While not all of it is playable, it’s still huge. Even the playable areas beat out Ascension by about 4x I think. While the perks that are for sure back are Juggernog, Quick Revive, and Double Tap, there is also a new perk. We aren’t sure exactly what it does, but personally i think it locks on to heads easier or something, I can't tell yet and it's quite open for interpretation.

To accompany a new perk, there is also a new wonder weapon (assuming it’s a wonder weapon) that shoots what looks like fire and it actually turns the Zombies into humans! Maybe they pull out a small weapon and defend with you, but when Pack-A-Punched, it pulls out a heavier weapon??

I am so excited for this map. I have been quite angered with the lack of story in the Black Ops Zombies maps and I was really hoping that this map would be a revolutionary one, but I suppose we will have to wait until Map Pack 3 for that. Although I was right about the fact that there will be new weapons, perk, etc., I was wrong about the impact it would have in the overall story. I’m about at an 8.7/10 in terms of excitement for this map, but it would easily be 10/10 if they brought back Dempsey, Richtofen, Takeo, and Nikolai, but I think a fun, laid-back map is good for Zombies right now, but if the next one isn’t story related, say uh-oh Treyarch. Being a die-hard Zombies fan, I swear to always buy any Zombies map pack, whether I will be happy with them or not is a different story, but I will always buy them and support Zombies. Comment with what your thoughts on the map are and lets get pumped for May 3rd!!
