Future Zombies: Tie in a gamemode! (Input wanted!)


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi,

So recently, I've been thinking about how everyone is predicting the future zombies maps directly off of hints and possible storyline intentions. But I've come to the realization that there's one more simple way to figure some of this out; New Gamemodes! But before I can get into that, we need to do a brief history lesson. (We all know it, just bare with me. I'm trying to make a point.)

History Class

It's boring.

Our original map that came with Black Ops 2 wasn't your typical survival map. It was massive. So massive, that they had to create a way for us to get around, thus, the birth of the Bus Driver. Now, in light of this not being just a simple buy doors + turn on power, this was one of a kind. So, they created the gamemode TranZit. (get the pun?) Instead of zombies being your only danger, you had to worry about the fog between bus stops, as well as the denizens, making you feel the need to stay with the bus. One way you could conquer this challenge was by teleporting, but it came with it's risks. For example, you could be teleported to the middle of no where. This is the single line that keeps TranZit unique, and really not able to be repeated. Also, you could use the new buildables feature to craft special objects, like the zombie shield, turbine, or new wonder weapon.

Our next DLC featured another new map, which was again not your typical survival map. It was tall and dangerous. So tall and dangerous, they had to create a method of getting around. Thus, the birth of jumping between buildings. Again, in light of this not being just a simple buy doors + turn on power, this was one of a kind. So, they created the gamemode Die Rise. (get the pun?) Instead of zombies being your own danger, you had to worry about falling off the sides of the buildings/verticality. One way you could conquer this challenge was by using the buildable Tramplesteam, but it came with it's own risks. For example, you could line it up wrong, and fall to your death. This is the single line that keeps Die Rise unique, and really not able to be repeated. You could use the new buildables feature to craft special Tramplesteam and the new wonder weapon.

Now, hopefully I haven't bored you to death here. But, now I can share my purpose for being so repetitive. There just so happens to be a huge trend among these maps. (No way, bagel_! Have a cookie!) Each features a new danger besides the zombies, and some risky ways to overcome it. They then put a punny name for the gamemode. But these gamemodes do not repeat. So sadly, we probably won't see much more of T.E.D.D., not in a bus, not in a helicopter, not in a wagon. Nor will we see cross-building dangers and the Tramplesteam. Our future zombies maps will contain completely unique gamemodes that apply to the environment of the map.

Ok, cool. Well, what does this all add up to?

Well, I for one see it as an opportunity to see what we might have to come. We now know we won't have a gamemode huge bus route around a spread out community, nor will we be in a falling apart skyscraper. So, I want to hear what you guys can create! I've come up with one already:

Firefight

A map placed in an underground forest in Agartha, unaffected by the missiles, still filled with leaves and plant life. While zombies attack you, a boss zombie roams the map slowly, and when you are in it's range, shooting fireballs at you, (Get it? You're in a Firefight. Like with shooting and stuff? Haa.) lighting you on fire as well as obstructing paths around the map by making impenetrable forest fires. You can get through them as well as attack the flame zombie by using a new buildable fire extinguisher, which clears your path through the map and can be used to stun the fire zombie for a while. (Get it? You're a FIREFIGHTER. I know, comedy gold.) On the downside, you move slowly holding it, and it's almost useless against normal zombies. The Winter's Howl makes a reappearance here as a buildable, and works just as well as the extinguisher.

So? What do you guys think? I want to hear new gamemodes as well as comments/rebuttals!
