Call Of Duty: Black Ops 4 is set to be one of the biggest and most diverse Call of Duty games ever. It will not only feature classic multiplayer gameplay, and the return of zombie mode, but also, a Battle Royale mode called Blackout. There’s a lot going on here, and Treyarch is making sure that gamers have something to do at all times. Which is why they’re doing a Day-One download for a map to coincide with Zombie Mode. It’s called “Classified”, and it’s meant to give players a more fun take on the Zombie Mode characters.
Treyarch’s Jason Bundell broke down the map on the Activision Blog:
“So, Classified follows the Ultimis crew. The Ultimis crew is the crew that we started with back in World at War. For those of you who want to study the Latin, that’s the Ultimis crew and then there’s the Primis crew. Primis is the new crew that we followed in Origins, and so far is who we followed all the way through Black Ops III.”
Not only was the map made for fun for the players, but also for the dev team, who got to do a lot of fourth-wall breaking with these characters:
“It also allows us to do some fun stuff. Back when Pentagon was done back in the original Black Ops, it was very much made as a one-off map. It was a novelty map. It was a different kind of experience because it featured Nixon, Kennedy, Castro and McNamara and those kind of guys. It was a one-off map made for novelty, but as time went on, we had to solve the question of where did that sit in the big story? And to do so we had to write a lot of assumptions. ‘Okay, this is what happened.’ And we’ve been using that to educate the decisions we’ve made in the storyline, but we’ve never actually told the story of, ‘Why were the zombies in the Pentagon? What did that have to do with the major storyline of the game? So, we’re actually now able to come back now and spell it out.’
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 arrives on October 12th.
