The new Call of Duty: Black Ops Rezurrection teaser features live-action zombie vomit, g-force-induced decapitations and a little bit of gameplay footage, too.
Zombies in your Treyarch Call of Duty game? It’s more common than you might think. Common enough that I probably wouldn’t even give the new Black Ops Rezurrection teaser a second glance were it not for the presence of “real” zombies being subjected to real experiments at the Call of Duty Zombie Labs to find out what makes them tick. And what makes them tick? I don’t know, but apparently if you apply enough voltage to their skulls you can make them spew gallons of vomit with the force of a firehouse, and while the application of extreme g-forces won’t cause them to pass out, they do seem to lose their heads under the pressure. Literally.
What does all this have to do with the game? Not a hell of a lot, although gameplay footage in there too, but let’s face it: Call of Duty zombies are about as original as, well, Call of Duty, and that means Activision has to up its game a bit to get any kind of meaningful attention. And is there anything that attracts attention quite like a severed skull sailing across a room with firmly attached gooey bits trailing behind? I don’t think so.
The all-zombies, all-the-time Call of Duty: Black Ops Rezurrection is already available for the Xbox 360 and comes out for the PC and PlayStation 3 on September 22.
