Here are some tips for the call of duty black ops Zombies games
The more the better
Zombie games are great fun but are near impossible on your own in the single player mode so you are best off getting your friends together and taking the zombies on as a team. If you do play on your own then you should be ok for the first few rounds but then it will start to get very hard.
This is an obvious one but if you are playing as a team then make sure that you talk to each as this will ensure that you are working together in the best way by sharing the ammo, weapons and most importantly covering the different parts of the playing area so that you don’t get killed.
Keep your barriers up
In most areas the zombies can get to you by breaking through the barriers but you can fix the barriers and build them up again by clicking on them and spending 10 points for each fix. This is really worth doing as it gives you that extra bit of time to survive.
Zombie crawlers can help
A “Crawler” zombie is a zombie that has had its legs blown off but is still managing to crawl around after you. Don’t be confused with the Nova gas zombies though as they also crawl around on the floor.
A good tip for call of duty black ops zombie games is to keep a zombie crawler alive at the end of each round. A crawler zombie is really slow so you can easily avoid it so this will give you really valuable time to go around and stock up on your ammo and weapons.
Buy the random boxes
You can buy new weapons and ammo at the various points on the walls of the playing area but these are limited. A good strategy is to buy the random box that’s on each level for 950 points as this is the only way that you will get hold of the level’s unique weapon.
If you decide that you don’t want the weapon then that’s fine you can just decide not to have it
