You think you’re just getting a handful of new maps when Call of Duty Black Ops’ latest Escalation map pack drops next week? Nope. You’re also getting an awesome new zombie mission titled Call of the Dead -- and it comes with an all-star cast - Activision Games announced today.
Robert Englund (Nightmare on Elm Street), Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Michael Rooker (The Walking Dead) and Danny Trejo (Machete) will all take part in the mission (ROOKER!), along with George A. Romero, director of numerous Dead films, who will appear as himself. "This is Treyarch's tribute to the legendary George Romero, who truly defined the zombie genre and whose incredible work has been such an inspiration to our team," commented Black Ops director Dave Anthony.
"It was an absolute honour to work with such an amazing and talented cast whose passion and energy brought their characters instantly to life. Fans are going to love this." Next weeks release of the Call of Duty: Black Ops - Escalation DLC can’t get here soon enough; look for the review here on PlanetXbox360 shortly thereafter.
