Some New Information from Dave Cook form VG247

[Flammenwerfer]

Here is a condensed version of what he said in regards for TranZit. I have bolded what has been been speculated that is now confirmed.

The core campaign mode of the game is TranZit, and the plot kicks off right after the events of Rezurrection. As opposed to being set in the 2025 era that the main campaign of the game is set in, it appears to be set in the current era and appears to take place in the American South-West, "with burned out diners, boarded up theatres and rusted car shells lining the dilapidated streets."

With the zombie invasion back, the only way for the player to escape is to traverse the region either by foot or on bus, and during the players travels they will come across several key locales - these are selectable to play on in Survival mode for a mode reminiscent of past incarnations of Zombie mode. There seems to be a new crafting mechanic too, as a player was seen crafting a spiked shield out of a car door and some shrapnel, which can be used as a weapon.

"The length of the actual zombie campaign could make or break Black Ops 2 for fans of the undead, but if it’s huge, it could earn the franchise many new players. "

Boarded up theatres, eh? Sounds interesting...;)
