Based on a Russian folktale about people choosing to be Werewolves, a group elite soldiers are granted with high tech state of the art weapons and will stop at nothing to destroy the heroic Ghost troops.

"It's a totally different frame of mind when you sitting down to play zombies. It's you and your friends and its coop and it's blasting Zombies....Black Ops II has the most ambitious zombies that we have ever created. If you ask zombies players what they want, they want more zombies. They are going to get that, more game modes and more ways to play it," said Mark Lamia, the head of Treyarch.
It plans to be the "most ambitious Zombies effort ever."
