Activision just sent out this trailer for Call of Duty: World at War, showing the game's newly unveiled Nazi Zombie mode where you hang out in a house and, well, defend it from Nazi Zombies. Hey, zombies! Just in time for Halloween!

Wait, it's almost like they planned it this way...

  


I'm fairly jazzed about World at War already (though the whole World War II thing is still kind of a bummer), but while the rest of it seems to be building squarely on Infinity Ward's COD4 foundation, I think this mode looks like a pretty unique addition to the franchise.

Jeff happens to be playing Nazi Zombie directly to my right at this very moment, actually, and I don't think it would violate any embargoes if I say it looks totally swass. That's right. He isn't the only one who can make random Sir Mix-A-Lot references in his news stories.

I've already given up on CoD: WaW. The beta didn't leave a good impression.

Zombie mode sounds like an interestingly off-key addition.

Though I still cant say I'm excited to Return to Wolfenstein. I guess it really depends if the Thompson has a Woodland Camo doesn't it?

Let me try out this..... FIRST. I like the look of the zombie Nazi Mode, kind of a homage to Wolfenstein lol

Its interesting, seems like a few games feature Zombies on the side these days, like Saints Row 2 for example, seems like people are going Zombie mad once again, and with Left 4 Dead around the corner.

I wonder how this goes up againts L4D actually, obviously one is dedicated to zombies and one is not, but i bet you'll be able to get some good co-op action outta both of them.

Hehe...just thought, this is another reason for Germany to not like this game, on top of the original reason!

It looks like a fun diversion, but unless it has an actual story element to it it's just a mode with no context to make you feel desperate.  I'd say go get Left 4 Dead if shooting zombies in multiplayer is what you want.

I'm not excited at all for this game. But the zombie mode does look interesting.

"I've already given up on CoD: WaW. The beta didn't leave a good impression." ... Same here.

I can't help but feel they were desperate to get a horde-like mode in there and so came up with nazi zombies. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but the game itself is still just as boring as CoD4 is after a couple months, only with worse maps and weapons. And the vechicles are awkward as hell.

I played the Zombie mod in COD2 and COD4 on my PC and I guess Trey's doing the work for the modders.

I have downloaded the beta and spent 3 hours trying to start playing, only to deal with constant problems. Treyarch really isn't selling me at this point, zombies or not.

I get the feeling they're trying to muscle in on Left 4 Dead's territory with this one.
