Introduction
Call of Duty: Black Ops II introduced a thrilling chapter to the Zombie mode, captivating players with a diverse range of maps that offered unique challenges and gameplay experiences. From the eerie TranZit to the claustrophobic Die Rise, each map presented its own set of puzzles, Easter eggs, and intense battles against the undead.
Nacht der Untoten: A Nostalgic Return
The classic Nacht der Untoten map from the original Call of Duty: World at War made a triumphant return in Black Ops II. Players could revisit this iconic setting with a refreshed visual experience and the addition of the Wunderwaffe DG-2, a powerful wonder weapon that helped decimate the zombie hordes.
TranZit: A Vast and Chaotic Landscape
TranZit stands as the largest Zombie map in Black Ops II, spanning five distinct areas connected by a dilapidated bus system. This map featured a unique cycle of fog and darkness, adding an extra layer of challenge as players navigated the maze-like surroundings. TranZit also introduced the Green Run Crew, a group of survivors who helped players progress through the map.
Die Rise: A Vertical Playground
Set in a high-rise skyscraper in Shanghai, Die Rise presented a vertical battlefield filled with traps, tightrope obstacles, and explosive barrel hazards. Players could utilize elevators and zip lines to traverse the building's multiple floors, encountering hordes of zombies in cramped quarters. The VR-11 wonder weapon provided much-needed firepower against the unrelenting undead.
Mob of the Dead: A Prison Break
Mob of the Dead transported players to the fictional Alcatraz Penitentiary, where they joined four infamous criminals in a daring escape attempt. This map incorporated a unique weapon system that allowed players to customize their weapons with various attachments. The Apothicon Servant, a powerful shotgun that fired explosive rounds, became a fan favorite.
Buried: An Underground Adventure
Buried took players deep underground to a vast network of tunnels and caverns. This map featured a unique cast of playable characters, including a bank robber, a CIA agent, and a Hollywood actress. The Wunderwaffe DG-4, an upgraded version of its predecessor, aided players in their battle against the undead.
Origins: A Journey to Ancient Evil
Set in the trenches of World War I, Origins was not only the most expansive Zombie map in Black Ops II but also one of the most complex. Players had to solve puzzles, traverse a vast landscape, and defeat formidable boss battles. The introduction of the Staffs of Power, four ancient artifacts that granted players unique abilities, added another dimension to the gameplay.
