"Can't even shout, Can't even cry, the Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, Knocking on doors, They need to take seven and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, Can't say a word, You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard." -- Hush, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"

GameTrailers got the scoop this week that after beating the campaign mode of CALL OF DUTY: WORLD AT WAR, the latest in the World War II FPS series out November 11th, you will unlock a multiplayer co-op mode in which up to four players will have to defend a derelict farm house from wave after wave of zombie horde.
Not only will players have to take out undead Nazis, but they’ll have to work together to rebuild the house’s defenses as the brain cravers rip the walls apart. There is also no end to the mode other than the players’ ability to outlast the zombies, who will get harder and harder to stave off with every wave.
Looks like I’ve now got a reason to buy CALL OF DUTY: WORLD AT WAR. That sounds fun as hell.
I played the COD5 MP Demo today and was unimpressed. It’s nothing that COD4 didn’t already do, but in a different time period.
But THIS?! (OMG Barricading?!)
Once I’ve played through LEFT 4 DEAD a few times and COD5 drops in price, it’ll be back on my radar. I just hope someone has figured out the unlock code by then so I won’t have to play through the SP campaign.
If they were smart, they’d release this as stand alone DLC and charge $20 for it. I’m not going to pay $60 for COD5, but if this mode is as fun as I imagine it will be, I’d gladly pay for it alone. I can’t imagine it would cost a whole lot of internal development to make it stand alone and they couldn’t be criticized for charging consumers twice as it is already in the full game. Win win, I think.

Gregory Jacobs has served as first AD on most of Soderbergh’s films, not to mention executive producer. Thus, the thrown bone.

This is great news, Peter. Live the dream! I’m jealous. It looks like my Austin plans will have to wait until the wife finishes law...
