Call of Duty: Black Ops won’t come packing a co-op campaign like Call of Duty: World at War so if you were hoping to shoot your way through the story with some friends, you’re out of luck. But the developers at Treyarch are promising several dedicated Call of Duty: Black Ops co-op modes and it seems the return of the undead could still be in their plans…

Mark Lamia, Treyarch studio head, confirmed to MTV Multiplayer that just Modern Warfare 2, Call of Duty: Black Ops has kicked the idea of a co-op campaign into the long grass. Instead, the main story will remain a strictly solo endeavour. He says co-op will be for “when you want to play competitively…and really chisel and hone your skills.”

But the good news is that we’ll be getting several co-op modes in Call of Duty: Black Ops. One of the Call of Duty: Black Ops secrets previously revealed by the developers is the existence of multiplayer missions for four.

Lamia says the co-op modes in Call of Duty: Black Ops will be different from the Specs Ops mode in Modern Warfare 2. But the good news for fans of the zombie co-op mode in Call of Duty: World at War is that Lamia stayed conspicuously tight lipped when quizzed about a return for it in Call of Duty: Black Ops. We’ll take that as a yes…

We’re getting seriously excited after watching the Call of Duty: Black Ops trailer but does the continuing lack of a co-op campaign bother you? Let us know what features you’re hoping to find in the Call of Duty: Black Ops multiplayer modes.

    If they didnt put zombies in they know that they would get less than half of what they would have potentially gotten in sales if they did put zombies in, so pretty mch they have to put zombies in or top it with something else which would be hard to do

  • 4zombies

    I agree there's absolutely no reason why they wouldn't put zombies it was such a success in call of duty world at war that they should just bring it back alot of people are expecting and if it doesn't have zombies then alot of people will be dissapointed.

  • Mikey_missles_41103

    fuck the co-op give me zombies!

    • bensillis

      Who doesn't love zombies?

    • SEAL

      It's still bad how there's no co-op campaign. That's the major disappointment I had the very night I got MW2.

  • Phillipstenson

    I'm gutted that they haven't given us a co-op campaign.

    I couldn't care less about zombies, I just wanted to enjoy the story mode/campaign with my buddy sat next to me.

    Co-op system link gaming is awesome, shame they ignored it.

  • mustkillzombies

    i know for a fact that if they puts zombies in they will sell more copies than if they dont put them in i love nazi zombies the game is addicting i dont care who you are once u pick it up its hard to put down also if they make it they should atleast let all players use the fing walffle gun and maybe a new weapon like a laser beam and they need to keep monkeys nothings more funnier in that game when a monkey explodes and says bye bye zombies

  • lordifrit123

    when i think on nazi zombies or zombies in black ops, i am so close of bashing 1 out ;)

    • bensillis

      Oh my! Show me someone who doesn't like zombies in games though, and I'll show you a copy of Duke Nukem Forever.

  • ZOMBIES

    i hope so badly they put zombies in. If they dont its their loss, theyll probibly get lots of complaints. Cuz Treyarch multiplayer is not as good as MW2s but they do make really good story lines. But i really loved nazi zombies in world at war, i literally bought the 3 map packs just for the zombi maps and i loved how you can play with friends online and they didnt just make it a boring local extra limited to only two people. I do hope they can put a 4 player zombies locally. I am positive they put zombies in though, I mean lets think here. They said they put in a 4 player co-op mode, but they said theyll be no co op campain. What else could they do? In addition i looked on several other sites about this. one of them said that they saw someone on the credits was the voice for : zombie. Its funny how they want to keep this all a secret because theyre not to good at it HAHAH

  • Sisson_tyler

    the only way i buy this game is for zombies and if i can quickscope like in mw2 bc quickscopes r sweet

  • newc164

    zombies zombies zombies ive had all the new so called blockbuster titles uncharted 2 red dead grand theft all of them but they spend no more than an hour in my ps3 before nazi zombies goes back in ill never trade in cod waw thanks to zombie maps and i hope this is a franchise that goeson foreever treyarch must have made a killing on this franchise and if they drop it ill drop them

  • zombie killer

    i think they should make zombies and the first map could be area 51 and make a new gun thats kinda like the hammer of dawn off of gears of war

  • Zombie hater

    I really can't see the point in putting zombies in.
    I never played WaW but unless Treyarch don't make the games as well as Infinity Ward I can't see it being advantageous.
    Both Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2 were brilliant from my point of view and I have played both for over a hundred hours each and I can't see how killing zombies would make me want to play more.
    If anything putting zombies instead of the special ops missions would have made me play less.
    That's just my opinion though.

    • Justin

      I agree but I guess zombies are the new big thing. Its just a fad though so I hope it won't last too long!

  • Justin

    There just isn't enough mission co-op games out there any more. That is one of the major reasons Halo was such a hit. It would be nice to see a game that was geared more for team work rather than for solo missions.

    • SEAL

      Exactly. I guess it's good for everybody they're putting zombies in but I would've really liked a co-op campaign.

  • Me

    i wish it had a coop campaign thats wut makes the old socom so much better probly wont sell as much as if it had a campagin coop!!!

  • Morteza Fadakaran

    no co-op WTf they think??? zombii is perfect bullshit
