Modern Warfare 2019 Archives

The concept of a Zombies mode in the Call of Duty (CoD) franchise has evolved significantly since its introduction. The idea of such a mode continuing or being reimagined in subsequent releases sparks considerable interest among the gaming community. With the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 on the horizon, coupled with a history of innovation and evolution, the anticipation builds for what's next for the Zombies mode. Origins and Development of Zombies Mode in Infinite Warfare Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare marked a milestone in Infinity Ward's approach to cooperative gameplay by incorporating a Zombies mode for the first time. This mode offered players a distinct experience from the traditional CoD gameplay. Spanning five maps, the Zombies mode in Infinite Warfare garnered a fanbase intrigued by its unique blend of sci-fi and horror elements, even bringing back the alien adversaries from Ghosts’ Extinction mode. Potential Continuation in Modern Warfare 2019 The pivot toward a more realistic gameplay in 2019’s Modern Warfare resulted in the exclusion of the Zombies mode, which was initially set to continue from Infinite Warfare. The drive for realism was central to the studio's ethos at the time, hence the shift back to Special Ops missions. Despite this, the commitment to ultra-realism has evidently softened, considering the incorporation of fantastical elements in Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer. Insights from Former Infinity Ward Developer Lee Ross, a former Infinity Ward developer, took to social media to shed light on the behind-the-scenes decisions regarding Zombies mode. His insights provide a glimpse into the creative process at Infinity Ward and illustrate how the Zombies mode was on the cusp of being integrated into the fabric of Modern Warfare. Transition to Modern Warfare 3 and Treyarch's Involvement As the Call of Duty franchise gears up for the launch of Modern Warfare 3, the anticipation for Zombies mode's introduction to the Modern Warfare subseries is palpable. However, Treyarch, the studio synonymous with creating iconic Zombies maps, has taken the reins for the development of this mode. The integration of Treyarch's expertise raises questions about the direction and feel of the new Zombies experience, especially as it appears to be inspired by the expansive Warzone format. Reception and Future of Zombies Mode The reveal that Zombies mode will finally debut in Modern Warfare has been met with mixed reactions. Some fans express trepidation about how the mode will translate into Modern Warfare's framework, while others eagerly await the innovation it promises. The juxtaposition of Treyarch's track record with Infinity Ward's current trajectory paints an interesting picture for the future of Zombies mode in Call of Duty. Final Thoughts The journey of Zombies mode in Call of Duty is one of experimentation and growth. The decisions made by Infinity Ward have shown a willingness to evolve and adapt, creating a space for both nostalgia and novelty. As the release of Modern Warfare 3 approaches, the industry and fanbase alike watch with bated breath, ready to experience the next chapter of Call of Duty’s Zombies mode. Also Read:
