(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Annihilation may mean the end of Zombie mode as we know it. This is why.

In campaign when Mason is in Vorkuta Reznov shouts eight steps. If you connect the steps with each zombie map you will get an eerie similarity.

Step 1: Secure The Keys. Nacht Der Untoten: The Beginning.

Step 2: Ascend From Darkness. Verrückt: The first map with power.

Step 3: Rain Fire. Shi No Numa: Tunguska Meteor rains to Earth.

Step 4: Unleash The Horde. Der Riese: The Zombie horde was first unleashed at this location.

Step 5: Skewer The Winged Beast. Kino der Toten: When power is turned on, a beast is heard on top of the building.

Step 6: Wield a Fist of Iron. Ascension: After the Gersch part, you get the death machines. Five: First map death machines is introduced in.

Step 7: Raise Hell. Call of the Dead: Maybe when you saved the crew.

Step 8: Freedom. Annihilation

My theory for step 8 in zombies is like the campaign. Maybe a sort of sacrifice will be made. Anyways if the story is followed like in Ascension and Call of The Dead we will figure out what happens. BTW it's the original crew in the Annihilation map pack.

Well in WaW they only did 3 map packs so its slightly understandable if they do 3 for this game too

I think this will be last map pack for black ops, but no way it's last ever zombies. They make so much money from zombies why would they give it up. Black Ops 2 Can't wait.

I can't lie but thinking about this kinda bummed me a little since zombies was the only reason I played black ops

I can see it being the last in the zombie storyline but not the last zombie map.

They might focus the next maps on a single charachter from the zombie story, or just come up with something different

they might make new characters for zombies or just stay with the original ones

since COTD didn't contribute to the storyline I don't think it's in the 8 steps, look at my edit to the quote of you

Looks like it ( kinda sad now )

I dont think so because the steps could be a number of possibilities. Call of the dead is freedom. Because 5 is the first map with death machines not ascension your missing a link. I don't think these steps contribute to the actual storyline. I think treyarch wants us to believe that. But there are more maps then steps.

Lmao i forgot about ascension because i haven't played it in awhile
