Call of Duty: Black Ops - Rezurrection is a DLC expansion requiring the base game, focusing entirely on enhancing the cooperative Zombies survival mode. Released in 2011, this package adds five maps: four remastered classics (Nacht der Untoten, Verrückt, Shi No Numa, Der Riese) and one new environment, Moon, which takes players to Area 51 and the lunar surface. The core loop involves wave-based defense against the undead using established mechanics, offering substantial new arenas for veteran players without introducing new systems.
This content is a downloadable pack (DLC) for the 2010 title, Call of Duty: Black Ops. Released in August 2011, this package is designed exclusively to enhance the cooperative survival experience within the game's popular Zombies mode. It requires the base game to access its content and does not function as a standalone title. The focus of this addition is entirely on providing new and updated environments for players to face waves of the undead.
Core Gameplay Loop: Zombies Survival Expansion
The gameplay loop remains consistent with the established format of the base game's cooperative mode: players work together to survive increasingly difficult rounds of enemy attacks, utilizing earned points to unlock new areas, purchase weapons, and activate defensive utilities. This DLC introduces no new core mechanics or systems; rather, it provides five distinct settings for this established wave-based survival challenge.
Distinctive Features: Five New Zombie Arenas
This content pack is substantial for fans of the cooperative mode, delivering a mix of remastered classics and entirely new territory.
Remastered Iconic Locations
Four of the included maps are high-definition updates of celebrated environments from the history of the Zombies experience:
- Nacht der Untoten: Set within an abandoned bunker, demanding close-quarters defense.
- Verrückt: Located in the Wittenau Sanatorium in Berlin, Germany, offering a distinct, confined atmosphere.
- Shi No Numa: Taking place at the Rising Sun Facility in Japanese territory, often featuring swampy terrain.
- Der Riese: Set within the secretive Nazi facility, Waffenfabrik Der Riese, a location central to the mode's established lore.
What is the new map addition?
The package introduces one entirely new environment:
Moon. This map shifts the setting dramatically, taking players through Area 51 and eventually onto the surface of the moon, offering a unique backdrop for survival.
Integration and Scope within the Base Game
As an add-on, this content seamlessly integrates with the existing framework of
Call of Duty: Black Ops. Players utilize the established weaponry, progression, and movement mechanics of the main game while navigating these new environments. The scope is significant for dedicated Zombies players, as it offers five full, distinct maps for replayability within the established shooter genre framework.
