Leaked Trailer Reveals Zombies In Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare
A trailer that leaked to the Internet shows off zombies in Activision's upcoming Call of Duty game.
The trailer surfaced on Reddit, and has been taken down and reposted several times. There is a live link in the original thread.
The clip is quite dramatic, showing a soldier fleeing from an oncoming horde of fast-moving zombies and making an escape by helicopter – with the requisite twist at the end. The screen above is grabbed from the clip; you can see a scene where the helicopter looks down on a stream of zombies quickly pouring over a wall, similar to scenes in the film World War Z. Whether this indicades a traditional Call of Duty Zombies mode or some heretofore unknown plot twist in the single-player campaign is unknown. Sledgehammer Games co-found Glen Schofield seemed to confirm that the leak was real, tweeting, "Nothing I can do about it now. But yeah it sucks. Imagine you're playing and this comes up – you'd be psyched up, right?"
Our Take
I'd never be suprised to see a zombie mode in a Call of Duty game, and the Schofield quote seems to confirm. It's certainly an exciting and effective trailer.
