Call of Duty: World At War – The first time Zombies showed up
There was a time before every Call of Duty game included a Zombies mode, which didn’t join the series until 2008’s World at War. And it wasn’t a mode that you played right out of the gate. Instead, it was unlocked after you beat the main campaign and watched a post-credits scene featuring zombies shambling out of the mist.
All these years later, I’ll never forget the moment my friends and I beat WaW and encountered this secret finale. We were all so confused about what was happening—nobody expected zombies in a Call of Duty game. Now, zombie modes are a key part of the franchise, but in 2008 it was a wonderful and creepy surprise.
