We bet you’re wondering if there’s a Call of Duty Modern Warfare Zombies mode in Infinity Ward’s upcoming game. It’s an obvious question, especially has the mode has become increasingly more prominent ever since its World at War days. If you want to know for sure if there’s a Modern Warfare Zombies game type in the game when it launches on October 25, we’ve got the answer for you. Read our Call of Duty Modern Warfare Zombies guide for more details.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare Zombies | Is it available to play?
If you were hoping for a Call of Duty Modern Warfare Zombies mode later this year, we have some bad news. There won’t be one for you to play. It might seem crazy for Infinity Ward not to include this popular game type in their next title, but there is a good reason behind their stance.
Speaking to our sister site PlayStation Lifestyle, campaign gameplay director Jacob Minkoff explained that the game wouldn’t feature a Zombies mode due to the realistic vibe that Infinity Ward wanted to go for this time around.
Minkoff added that Treyarch’s Black Ops series allowed for a Zombies mode as it was a more stylized, superhero-esque version of Call of Duty games. With Modern Warfare stripping the franchise back to its realistic roots, including Zombies in it wouldn’t have grounded the upcoming game in the real world.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare Zombies | Co-op modes
If you’re fearing the worst that Call of Duty Modern Warfare Zombies’ stance means that there are no co-op modes in the game, you need not worry. Minkoff confirmed that there would be co-op available in their first-person shooter game, even if he declined to elaborate on it completely.
It definitely makes sense for Infinity Ward not to include Zombies in Call of Duty Modern Warfare. They’ve dabbled with it in the past, but it’s certainly a hallmark of Treyarch developed titles rather than their own. It likely won’t matter about this game type being absent when the game comes out anyway, and we’re sure it’ll be as popular as any other Call of Duty title.
Blackout Weapons
-
Black Ops 4 weapons that we NEED in Blackout
For Call of Duty fans, Blackout has been a surprisingly fully featured entry into the battle royale space. It's got a good arsenal, franchise staples like Zombies and perks, and a refined feeling. However, it doesn't have ALL the guns you'd want. Here are a few missing staples that should be added ASAP. -
Bal 27
A bullpup assault rifle from Advanced Warfare, the Bal-27 is the workhorse of the Atlas Corporation. Complete with an underslung grenade launcher, it can spit out bullets with the rest of them at a close to midrange. Most AW players never found a reason to switch past the default, so let's bring it back into the fold. -
M16
A gaming staple beyond just Call of Duty, the M16 has appeared in just about every shooter franchise with realistic weapons. An old school choice, it's one of the most recognizable firearms around and has a host of upgrades and add-ons to make it stand out from the pack. -
M.2187
An upgrade of an old favorite from Modern Warfare, this small shotgun packs a punch, especially when you're wielding Akimbo. Blackout, in general, is lacking in the shotgun department, so adding a version of one of the signature close range weapons in the series seems like a good start. -
Reaver
Or, if you want a shotgun with a bit more punch, why not equip the Reaver? It has good range, great stopping power, and cool variants to pick from. Why not add the Machete version as a legendary drop? Blowing up opponents with the slice of a blade sure sounds fun. -
SPAS 12
If you're a player who can't stand to have Infinite Warfare representation in Black Ops, lets circle back to a shotgun that we can all agree on. The SPAS-12 is another legendary firearm that's been all over the place, and it seems like the perfect way to round out the shotgun selection. -
UMP45
A submachine gun generally seen in the Modern Warfare games, the UMP45 is an older weapon, although Infinite Warfare gave it the futuristic MacTav-45 variant. Whichever varient we go with, it's a no-brainer. This is a favorite among players of any subseries and would be a welcome addition to Blackout. -
Ballistic Knife
One of the thing that sets Fornite apart from other battle royale games is their constantly shifting game modes. There are plenty of rule variants that keep things engaging, and adding in the Ballistic Knife as an option opens Call of Duty up to the same options. All blade shooting, all the time. -
Storm PSR
A candidate for a rare drop, the Piercing Shot Rifle (also known as the Metal Storm) is a powerful sniper rifle from Black Ops 2. Its claim to fame is its experimental scope that allows you to see through walls as you fire. Root out your enemy's hiding spots with this sleek death machine. -
M2 Flamethrower
Call of Duty has the opportunity to be the first battle royale to implement a flamethrower into its arsenal. Why would they want to do that, you might ask? Flamethrowers are cool. You don't need more reason than that to add in this World at War relic. Camping will never be the same again. -
Gravity Vortex Gun
Fortnite had the sword from Infinity Blade, so Call of Duty needs a stupid powerful weapon that the developers can regret putting in as well. Why not the Gravity Vortex Gun, a futuristic cannon that shoots black holes onto the battlefield? Sensibility in weapon selection is overrated.
