The Zombies mode from Call of Duty: World at War will return with all 4 maps in Call of Duty: Black Ops. But you must purchase either the Hardened or Prestige Editions of the game. Otherwise, it looks like you will have to purchase these 4 maps as downloadable content.

The upcoming release of Modern Warfare 2 will feature third-person mode for multiplayer playlists.
You never want to bring a third person along on a date — not unless that date happens to be November 10th. Infinity Ward’s community manager Robert Bowling (A.K.A. fourzerotwo) has taken control and confirmed that a third-person camera viewpoint will be available in this holiday’s monolithic Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, though it’ll be limited to specifically labeled online playlists.
“It’s not something you can toggle on and off in ANY game,” said Bowling. The special mode can only be played in private matches — toggled on or off just like “Hardcore” settings — or in playlists that are designated for third-person play. According to Bowling, everyone playing in a third-person playlist will be restricted to the viewpoint. “This is just another cool way to play the game,” he said, “you obviously will still have the option to play gametypes normal as well.”
Our friend, the internet, has an inscrutable video of some person running around in third person, but you’re probably better off waiting for the “awesome trailer” the folks at Infinity Ward have planned.

Last night’s episode of GameTrailers TV brought straight from the mouth of Treyarch studio head Mark Lamia — Call of Duty: World at War will contain a four-player, co-op zombie (of the Nazi variety) survival mode.
Those who currently aren’t busy scraping pieces of their blown mind off of the wall behind them will probably be interested in a few details Lamia mentioned — the gameplay mode (which is unlocked upon the completion of the single player campaign) will place four players in a central structure, then assail them with wave upon wave of undead national socialists. Throughout the game, players will collect money which can be used to fortify their compound, or purchase new weapons. Also, there will be Nazi zombies.
You can watch a video of this zombie mode in action at the following link.
Chapter Four of last night’s GTTV episode. They talk about the 4 player co-op zombie mode a few minutes into it after the Mirror’s Edge preview.
