A new foursome for Black Ops Zombie mode!

Rmeas and SeanMCR join the usual dynamic duo of zombie killers

And just to avoid early confusion, I would be Batman. I just can not carry off those red and green tights the way Graybush can. All my muscle just gets in the way of my svelte legs... right, imagery, sorry.

So you may remember the deal that Coxxorz posted two weeks ago. Future Shop selling Call of Duty Black Ops for $14.99? I noticed it and emailed SeanMCR who was previously complaining that Call of Duty Black Ops was too expensive (for two copies) just to play Zombie Mode. Gasp! Heretic!

So he bought two copies for him and Rmeas. For $25.99, three days after the deal expired. What can I say. He fits in.

Needless to say he did eventually get two overpriced copies of Call of Duty Black Ops and last night he and Rmeas opened them up to play Zombie Mode. I discovered this when I logged in last night and got spammed be zombie invites. To be clear, the invites were to play zombie mode — the invites themselves were not zombies because that would be weird.

And I did. And it was fun. Particularly when Graybush eventually dragged himself out of his drunken stupor and onto Live. Four player Zombie Mode.

More reverently Four player Zombie Mode.

I know! We had all four characters active and we could not tell if the character dialog was new or we had just never heard it before (because it was usually only two players). Whatever. New dialog! Awesome.

We took Rmeas to Call of the Dead, to the Moon and, yes, finally, to Der Riese.

Let me tell you, playing with Rmeas is like playing with Pwn Call. On steriods. After coffee. With chocolate. And your cocaine stash is mysteriously low. Other than that though, just like Pwn Call.

We never knew where she was, she is not a camper in anyway shape or form, she could not stay on the Catwalk of Hope and Love to save her life. Which it probably would have. Seriously, she fell off three times. For comparison Sean only fell off once although he did jump off three times to try and revive Rmeas. Very romantic in a Romeo and Juliet kind of way. By which I mean THEY ALL DIED!. Sorry was that a spoiler?

We went through five monkey bombs in one level trying to keep everyone alive. This would have been unique and entertaining except that we had to do the exact same thing during the next level. In fact we may have used six monkey bombs that time.

Shortly after this SeanMCR's Xbox locked up and we lost him mid-level. Not that we were happy about this but things may have improved. Slightly.

Our dialog certainly did. That between Graybush, myself and Rmeas, not the character dialog. I am going to stop talking about about SeanMCR now before I get myself in too much trouble but boy can that guy be a real...*cough*, *cough*, nevermind that, where was I?

Right, with the unnamed fourth player gone things picked up and we got into a kind of rhythm. We didn't do anything phenomenal. Level 15. And we did eventually die (poorly) but we saw enough to show us future hope. Future hope for Zombie Mode.

While I mock Rmeas' style of play I suspect that Graybush and I have become somewhat complacent in our zombie killing and perhaps it is time for us to learn from and follow Rmeas' style instead of sticking to our rut and trying to force her into our style. Perhaps her rambunctious style will get us further in the maps we have more trouble with: Shi No Numa, Shangri La, Five, Ascension. You know, everyone one other than Der Riese.

We look forward to finding out.

Two quick notes about the Moon: 1 – I did not know it was possible to fall of the cliff. Cause I did. To my death. Immediately after spending all my money on better weapons. I respawned later with no money and only a pistol. It took a few levels before I became useful again. Useful in my normal way, not useful up to anyone else's standards. 2 – This may just be hypothetical but if you are carrying the hacker you can not hold your breath long enough to buy the Mule perk and make it back to the airlock. So that might mean you could spend $4000 on the most expensive perk and then die from lack of oxygen two feet from the airlock. Thus losing your perk and wasting the $4000.

Me!Not me!
