How Treyarch Failed Themselves With Zoo in Escalation

The second map pack for Call Of Duty : Black Ops was announced a while ago, there were 4 multiplayer maps and also a zombie map that would be included in this map pack, however one that caught my eye and many others was the zoo map, back then, we did not know anything about it, all we knew was that it was called zoo, and there was a faint image of it on the leaked Escalation poster.

Reason #12 for thinking I would be raising the bar for gaming journalism comes in the. Form of this question: which is abandoned? The Zoo? Or the map of the zoo? To put it another way, is it a map of an abandoned zoo? Or was that map scrapped altogether?

If it's a map of an abandoned zoo, then all you get are a bunch of rotting animal cages. If the map was scrapped, you don't even get that.

(any other studio - creativity) = Treyarch

Update: it occurs to me that Treyarch would not have mentioned the Zoo map if it was abandoned... so the highest probability is a map of an abandoned zoo. Maybe you can take POWs and lock them in the cages.

Curse you Activision, that is all.
Beahm out.

Yeah darn you activision because you are a company that cares about money. There is no other company that works for money, only activision. Everyone else just works for the hell of it, because they have nothing better to do

NiKK_4195169d ago

Yes, but good companies rely on quality to get consumers to buy their product, but companies like Activision rely on a name alone, because other companies care about money, yes, but they also care about their fans

I am such a sucker for zombies maps. i wish they would release 2-3 at a time instead of this 1 at a time BS

xtremexx5169d ago

the zombie map was the reason i bought the map pack

beavis4play5169d ago

me too! can't wait to get my hands on "call of the dead". i'll probably never touch the other maps.

Rybakov5169d ago

they failed themselves by signing with activison to only make call of duty when they could have had potential and make something new and fun....but now there worthless

QuodEratDemonstrandm5169d ago

Spider-Man 2 for the ps2 was nice. Treyarch made that one. Now they're worthless. Apparently, the only Activision developer that's worth more than a pair of fetid dingo's kidneys anymore is Radical. Prototype is pretty good.

InLaLaLand5169d ago

Still people are going to buy it no matter what the price is. Youtube is going to be free advertisement for Treyarch and Activition.

Mannn… worlds scaries police chases… that took me back lol

Ape Escape.
Fun game but, wow, you need a college degree to understand the controls.
A remaster would also save you from having to constantly fight the camera.
Keep the music though. Those drum and bass tracks fit really well and haven't aged. Made me think that more games could work well with drum and bass tracks, but unfortunately it's a somewhat niche genre now.

Abear21125d ago

Max Payne Series
Infamous 1 & 2
NBA Street Vol 2
SSX
Skate

i could have sworn i read somewhere that Remedy is remaking May Payne 1 but things have been quiet lately

YourMommySpoils124d ago

They are making the first one, as we speak.

jznrpg125d ago (Edited 125d ago )

One of the few Xbox games I own. I have 3 copies of it because of the many discs it has, for just in case reasons

jznrpg125d ago (Edited 125d ago )

Xenogears, Xenosaga trilogy, Vagrant Story, Drakengards, Parasite Eve and many more but I’ll start with those

Good hopefully cheating will be normalized.

anast147d ago (Edited 147d ago )

Most PC gamers cheat and the ones that don't have an advantage, as KB and mouse is the only way to play shooters seriously.
