WOW! Activision has revealed “Call of the Dead,” the Zombies Mode map in the Call of Duty: Black Ops “Escalation” DLC. The trailer is awesome!
Call of the Dead, part of the Call of Duty: Black Ops Escalation pack, stars playable versions of Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy The Vampire Slayer), Robert Englund (Nightmare on Elm Street), Michael Rooker (The Walking Dead), and Danny Trejo (Machete).
The Call of the Dead storyline is inspired by writer and director George A. Romero, who also stars in the level as himself, according to Activision. The game kicks off with players stranded on a shipload of the undead in Siberia. The gameplay here seems to show plenty of decapitations, eviscerations and movie-themed quips being dished out.
Check out the trailer and some screenshots below.
“This is Treyarch’s tribute to the legendary George Romero, who truly defined the zombie genre and whose incredible work has been such an inspiration to our team.” says Dave Anthony, Call of Duty: Black Ops’ Director. “It was an absolute honor to work with such an amazing and talented cast whose passion and energy brought their characters instantly to life. Fans are going to love this.”
