GameStop Employee Confirms Zombie Mode

quote whoever I linked to

Rejoice, zombie lovers around the world! An employee at Gamestop has seemingly confirmed that the popular zombie mode will return to Call of Duty: Black Ops.
It’s something that has often been speculated about but never confirmed by Treyarch – the official word has always been a wink and a ‘no comment’. But now it appears that there is finally some concrete evidence for the return of the much-loved gametype.
A member on the official Call of Duty forums, by the name of lilmike002001 posted up the following thread:
After hearing about the special edition releases of BlackOps I headed to my local gamestop to upgrade my preorder. I asked the guy behind the counter if he had anymore information on the special editions. He then handed me a pamplet of 4 papers stapled together. The front page reads ‘Hardened edition details’ with 4 pictures dipicting the ‘medal’ ‘avatar outfit’ ‘steelbook’ and a classic picture of WAW zombies on it.
Under the list of ‘summary of features’ it says “Four exclusive Zombie maps from World at War updated for the Black Ops engine ($15 value)”

The images show what look to be internal Gamestop memos detailing the Prestige and Hardened editions of Call of Duty: Black Ops. Crucially, the first image which contains details of the Hardened Edition includes the following quote: “Four exclusive zombie maps from World at War updated for the Black Ops engine ($15 value)”.



Activision has already confirmed in their official press release that the Hardened and Prestige editions of Black Ops would ship with 4 exclusive co-op maps, but had not confirmed that these would feature zombies. We've contacted an Activision rep for comment, and we'll update this article as soon as we hear back.
In the meantime, several other posters reported that, having called up their local Gamestop, they were told the same as lilmike002001: that the co-op maps in the Special Editions of Black Ops would indeed be the zombie maps from World at War.
Here's one of the pictures that lilmike002001 uploaded (click to enlarge):

Update: Two senior members of our forums and writers for this site, NateRios430 and trainboy1094 have both spoken to Gamestop and been given the same news. From Nate: "Though the guy was new, he logged into Gamestop's closed information system and verified this for us. 4 exclusive WaW Zombies maps revamped for Black Ops updated engine. I asked if it was possible for me to access that site, and he said it's a closed GS system."

From that it looks more like the fact that you get all the maps for the WaW zombie mode, not that they're making a new one, If you buy the hardened edition for $100.
