MW3 Zombies Details
Treyarch Developed
The first thing to say is that, despite it being aModern Warfare gameand developed bySledgehammer Games,MW3’s Zombies will be developed by the mode’s creators — and true veterans — Treyarch.
There were questions over whether MW3 would have Zombies for that reason, but after itsconfirmationby Activision, a Treyarch led mode seemed obvious — especially given how they’ve gotten involved with other modes, like Ranked Play.

“Open World” Warzone Map
That’s right, MW3 is promising the largest Zombies map in Call of Duty history — and it’llreportedlybe the new Warzone map that’s dropping with Modern Warfare 3 itself. There will be 4 squads, up to 6 players per squad.
While it’ll be adapted for a MW3 setting, it will fit into the Treyarch Zombies narrative and, as confirmed byCall of Dutyon Twitter / X, it’ll let players squad up with other squads too.

DMZombies?
For the first time, CoD’s Zombies will also incorporate extraction and open world aspects. That means Buy Stations, Ammo Depots, Wall Buys, Mystery Boxes and the classic Pack-A-Punch mechanic.
Players will also be tasked with extracting with rewards, much like they do in the current DMZ mode. It marks a change from the survival-based Zombies of old, where players were guaranteed to die eventually (that was the only way matches ended).

We don’t know if exfil choppers will make their way into Zombies’ maps, but it’s very much unchartered territory for the undead mode.
