Nazi Zombies to feature in Call of Duty: Black Ops

Showing that you can't keep the undead down - as well as demonstrating a slightly shaky grasp on history - Treyarch has decided to revisit Nazi Zombies, the popular game mode it introduced in World at War, as part of this year's Call of Duty: Black Ops.

Though the developer hasn't discussed the mode directly, it was outed by strategy guide maker BradyGames, which trailed its forthcoming Black Ops guide book in a press release on Friday. This follows last month's leaked information which discussed a map pack featuring four levels taken from the original game in World at War.

The mode sees players taking on hordes of the undead either single-handedly or in a group with up to three friends. Like Gears of War 2's Horde mode or Firefight from the Halo series, the waves of zombies increase in number and difficulty as the player progresses. There's no word yet on whether or not the mode will be unlocked once the campaign is over, as it was with the original.

Call of Duty: Black Ops is widely predicted to be one of the biggest-selling games of the year, though it has some work to do to overtake the impressive sales of rival shooter Halo: Reach. The game launches on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC, Wii and DS on November 9th worldwide
