Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III Zombies Is Just A DMZ Crossover With Outbreak, Suggests Early Rumor

After days of anticipation, the Shadow Siege event finally took place. With it, we finally have a trailer for the newest installment in the Modern Warfare franchise. Call of Duty Modern Warfare III sets up for an incredible campaign, but one thing fans might be more excited about is the Zombies mode. With the promise of the biggest Zombies offering to date, details about the method finally emerged after the trailer dropped.

Details of the new Zombies mode reveal the mode is different than what fans expected. The Zombies mode will be a mixture of the DMZ mode Warzone offered with the Outbreak mode from Modern Warfare II, only with the addition of Zombies.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare III set to combine Outbreak and DMZ for Zombies

The Zombies mode for Modern Warfare III was one of the biggest talking points of the game. With Call of Duty promising the largest Zombie mode offering, fans were keen to find out what that entailed. New details reveal it is quite different than what fans expected, with the mode being a mix between Outbreak and DMZ.

To begin with, the mode will be a mixture of DMZ and Outbreak, only with the addition of Zombies. Instead of speculation of the mode being on Verdansk, it will take place on the new Warzone map. Unlike DMZ, it will not have PvP. While human threats will be a part of the mode, it will only be PvE. Fans reckon the risk V.S. reward factor must be high if there is no PvP factor.

The game will feature squads of 6. Similar to DMZ, players enter from different points in the map, instead of dropping in from a plane. They will take on 60-minute sessions before extraction takes place. The idea is to carry out a set of missions while fighting zombies. The difficulty ramps up as you get to the center.

It would not be a Zombies mode without the buy stations. These buy stations will feature weapons, mystery boxes, as well as the Pack-a-Punch machine.

It looks clear that while Treyarch is developing the Zombies mode, it is a big revamp from the usual Zombies mode. The biggest change is the shift from the iconic round system. Fans expected to see the round system make a comeback. It seems Treyarch wanted to keep the round mode for their games, with the twist kept for Modern Warfare III.
