I use to think that way "zombies is some sh*t" but then I actually played it for longer then 10 minutes and it's awesome and this "you played zombies once you played them all", wow, you could not be more wrong about it, Kino is nothing like Moon and Moon is nothing like Five and Five is nothing like Ascension and Ascension is nothing like Call Of The Dead and that is nothing like Shangri-La, no offense but maybe if you played more and got better you might change your mind about it

If your not a Zombies fan then why even comment, could we be trolling?

I not a zombie fan sorry but if you played zombies once then you have played them all. Nothing new here, Zombies allways the same including the audio sounds zombies made by Try arch.

Yeah but it was said that the new Zombies would be run on the Multiplayer server instead now, but yeah you could still possibly get lag like you would normally on multiplayer.

Never the less, it will still be good to see how it turns out .

good. it means you get a better chance of having good people on your team and at E3 they said they were making a really big map. if they use smaller maps 4 people could be zombies along with some A.I.

Good. I think it can help those who don't play zombies as well as others and give them a great learning aspect from having multiple people

I think that having eight player Being on a game is a good Idea as long as you are enabled to play in one system 2 players splitscreen and solo...

Keep it as GOOD

GOOD!

I vote billion times for 8 players co-op - yes man, it's not just good, it's the most great co-op feature you can have in 1 game with more than just 3 friends... I have a high enthusiasm for fast gameplay of total chaotic brutal war against nasty zombies since Codwaw. Imagine being a team like in the movie "The Expendables", it's a dream team... There is a mod for Codwaw multiplayer that had 12 players support, so it would be working great on mp engine.

A team of 8 players would make the whole gameplay run in much faster flow even with double increased amount of zombies than 4 players even with double decreased amount of zombies which is slow and makes it boring to a point that you fall in a sleep... that's why some people choose rather to go as 2 players so that they can go to higher rounds faster, which can't really make you look better on leaderboards...

There is no valid point to be against 8 pl. co-op because of "issues" as some people state like: there just 4 windows, kill stealing, maps are small... If zombies come in double number how are you going to handle a window alone with just a pistol? You obviously would have to beg other players to help with your window, no room to complain about kill stealing... Maps being to small for 8 players? I never see people complaining about Nacht der Untoten map to play as 4 players despite this map should support only up to 2 players considering how small it is... If you compare this map to Call of the Dead map then 4 players is a small number due to its size, so 8 players would perfectly fit here, including Shangrilla, Moon, Der Riese etc... I see actually a lot of unused space in those big maps as players choose specifically few areas for running trains, and mostly ignore other areas. With 8 players all that space would be used much more efficient.

Sorry, but such reasons like those "issues" are far from good enough to stop Treyarch making real innovations to next zombie game like 8 co-op, I mean if they keep making minimal changes and innovations, how real enthusiast players will be inspired to buy the game...for many of them it would be more a dissapointment, while some would "enjoy" the same slow gameplay of classic mode... I say yes for 8 co-op mode, now or never!

id vote yes i mean everyone makes it out that your automaticly going to be with random people I know i

have about 9 to 10 friends who all play zombies and we cant always get every one in a match but with 8 players we finaly can and we almost never end up with randoms lol besides if you cant stand up to 7 other players and take your kills then you dont need to play zombies anyways go back to campain and leave the big toys for the big boys. lol

GOOD.

For the people that aren't fans of chaos, working together in a big team, and are socially awkward thus not making them want to communicate with 7 other people, they can go play the classic 4 player mode or 4v4 Left4Dead2 mode.

But some, I mean A LOT, of us LOVE CHAOS and agree that it would be EPIC to have 8 people on 1 big map with twice the zombies and twice the chaos baby.

YES TO 8 PLAYER MODE !

So...one of the main rumours going around is that Zombies might have 8 players. As I said this is just a rumour but it got me thinking....Will 8 players be a good or bad thing for Zombies? I have been looking through the threads on here as well as checking other Zombies communities to try and see whether people see this as a good or bad thing. So I have decided to post this discussion to see what you guys think.

What I would like everyone to do is to put GOOD or BAD as the 1st word on your reply followed by a brief explanation. (The brief explanation is optional.)

I will then check this discussion twice daily and keep a running tally of the GOOD's and BAD's and post the results so we can see how the Zombies community feels about having 8 players.

UPDATE

.To make things easier I am keeping the tally below and will update it as often as I can.

I will try to reply to as many people as I can but my kerboard is bust and I'm using an on-screen LOL.

GOOD:21

BAD:10

UNDECIDED:5

Thanks for your vote.

And good point but Spec Ops is MW3 not BO1

Good - One of the best parts of Zombies is getting to play COD in a more sociable atmosphere. It was the primary flaw of Spec Ops Survival mode in BO1.

Thanks for your vote.

You have a good point that I didn't think of there so thanks for your input also.

I say BAD because with the increase of players causes an increase in doors that need to be bought for the power. Imagine on solo you have to buy 8 doors for the power thats about 8k points without jug or guns! Also when you are playing 2 players it would be impossible to revive a friend on the other side of the map who is training or something.
