Der Riese finally gave CoD Zombies a real story, hiding radios around the map for players to uncover while they unlocked their first Pack-A-Punch machine. Shi No Numa saw the debut of dogs, moving Mystery Boxes, the Wunderwaffe DG-2, and the Ultimis crew. While Nacht Der Untoten was basic, barebones survival, Verrukt introduced players to perk machines and an easter egg song with vocals.

A bonus mode that went unmentioned up until release, Zombies was created by a small group of developers just having fun, and the little survival mode became so enjoyable to Treyarch that it was included as a bonus easter egg unlocked after Call of Duty: World at War’s campaign was completed.
