Twitter reacts to Treyarch’s news about Black Ops Cold War zombie mode
The latest news has shattered the negative rumors. This revelation was surely going to attract reactions from the fans, as more rumors of standalone zombie titles continue to make their round.
The zombie mode has barely ever gone completely free-to-play, and the integration with Warzone is something new. Players have definitely loved the inclusion of this mode, as it will also pave the way to further the storyline.
Have they ever made it free to play multiple times before?

A standalone or a free-to-play game is definitely going to help enhance the zombie mode’s popularity. However, this fan disagrees with the rumors, as he deemed it a dangerous move that will kill classic zombie mode.
Great, now every zombies installment will be multiplayer friendly…

This fan suggested that the BOCW zombie mod does not feel like what it used to. It does not contain the same roster of characters, and their personalities are not appealing enough.
The only reason is because its so easy to jump in from wherever you come from. If you look back we had maps like Blood and Gorod Krovi, but now that we have a super accessible game the character and personality has been fully ripped away. CW is really hard to play more than 3hrs.

This news may have not satisfied the long-term fans, but the game mode has surely benefited from it. The new outlook on the Zombies mode will bring a new wave of fans, which will help the studio produce more content. If the popularity continues to surge, then the day won’t be far when Treyarch rolls out a standalone zombie title.
