The Moon Base level in Call Of Duty Black Ops Zombies is being hailed as an ingenious bit of foreshadowing by Treyarch.
Call Of Duty Zombies is arguably one of the best parts about the series, and while the latest iterations haven’t quite lived up to their predecessors in terms of imagination and innovation, it’s still popular enough to sell copies of new games.

While there have been some fantastic Zombies maps over the years, like Origins, Mob of the Dead, and Der Eisendrache, fans recently came together to sing the praises of a map that boldly went where no Zombies map went before, Moon.
Reddit user EvaInTheUSA paid homage to the iconic Call Of Duty map, as well as its intriguing origins, with a post saying: “What a time it was.” The post was accompanied by a picture of the Moon level, as well as the initial teaser for the map that was hidden in an entirely different game.
In case you weren’t aware, in Call Of Duty: World At War, on the Der Riese map, if you look closely at the moon you could see mysterious lights in one of the craters. This prompted some iceberg discussions within the community at the time, with many believing it was foreshadowing a future map that’d take players to the moon itself. It was regularly dismissed as either a ridiculous theory or wishful thinking until it eventually appeared in Call Of Duty: Black Ops.
Nowadays, you’d be hard-pressed to find a decent Easter Egg in a Zombies iteration, and fans know it, as one said: “WaW-BO1 era Zombies was so dope, it had mystique, fun gameplay, was actually scary, good mysterious story, easter eggs, soundtrack. Zombies was more popular than the story modes or multiplayer at one point.”
That being said, Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare III Zombies aims to make the mode open world, which might be the switch-up it needs to pique player interest again.
Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare III will launch on 10 November.
