At a recent LA showcase event hosted by Activision and Infinity Ward, a number of lucky FPS enthusiasts had the opportunity to witness and experience the excellence of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s multiplayer component. With the inclusion of new perks, more weapons, customisable killstreaks and even deathstreaks, there’s a lot for us to look forward to.

However, there's still one question on everyone's mind: will Call of Duty: World at War’s illustrious Zombies mode return under a new guise this November? Robert Bowling has already disclosed information to Video Gamer out about Special Ops mode, a two player competitive co-op campaign set aside from Modern Warfare 2’s single player and multiplayer elements, but is Treyarch’s lucrative zombie survival concept something Infinity Ward plans to adopt?

Todd Alderman, Lead Multiplayer Designer at Infinity Ward, had this to say on the subject :

‘It’s just not our bag really. We like to keep it consistent and in the same universe - not to say that we wouldn’t do something like that in the future, but for what we are doing right now it’s just not something we’d do.’

So, in short, there will be no undead fun to be had this time around. But look on the bright side; if nothing else, we now have incentive to retain our copies of World at War.
