―JFK, 1961

Moon is the final zombie map in Call of Duty: Black Ops. Because it's name, it takes place on a fictional station called "Griffin Station" on the moon. It was released on August 23rd for the Xbox 360 and on September 22nd for the PS3 and PC as part of the Rezurrection Map Pack. It is the final Black Ops zombie map. Two new Wonder Weapons appear in this map, the QED and the Wave Gun. The Gersh Device also returns after a two map absence. A new perk appears called Mule Kick, which allows you to have 3 weapons at once.

Overview[]

Taking place in Area 51 and on the Moon itself, this map is a challenge for all players. Tank DempseyNikolai BelinskiTakeo Masaki, and Edward Richtofen return as playable characters, as well as being able to play as Samantha Maxis as part of an easter egg. Two new Wonder Weapons make their debut: the Wave Gun and the Quantum Entanglement Device, with the Gersch Device replacing the Monkey Bomb from other maps. Two new pieces of equipment also make their debut: the P.E.S. and the Hacker device. The P.E.S. allows the player to survive in areas which have no oxygen, while the Hacker device allows the player to hack various objects to produce a wide assortment of effects. Two new Zombies are featured in this map: the Astronaut Zombie and the Phasing Zombie; the Astronaut Zombie will walk around slowly, and if it can grab the player, it teleports the player randomly to places they have opened and also taking a perk, while the Phasing Zombies are an advanced version of the Crawler Zombies, which can teleport short distances towards the player. Phasing Zombies have less health than Crawler Zombies, whereas the Astronaut Zombie has massive health, similar to the Napalm Zombie.

Spawning in Area 51, zombies will spawn with low health and speed, and gradually become stronger and faster as time increases. Two sounds will be heard, a soft beeping and then an alarm similar to that of the Tactical Nuke sounds to alert the player(s) each time the zombies gain more health. Hellhounds will spawn with the zombies, with a max of 10 able to spawn at once. Juggernog or Speed Cola will spawn here, alternating each time the player travels to Area 51. If players are overwhelmed, they can fall back to the teleporter, where they will be sent to the Receiving Area, on the moon. To fully activate the teleporter, every player in the game must stand on it. When first arriving, artificial oxygen will not be available, making a P.E.S. necessary to survive, a P.E.S. station will be directly in front of the player when they get teleported. Unlike the previous maps, there will not be any weapons in the "spawn room", needing to open another door to access the M14 and the Olympia, along with two more spawn areas, with the "spawn room" only having two windows. Once the power has been restored, artificial gravity will be restored inside the buildings. However, oxygen can be removed by either Excavators, or if they player breaks a window with explosives in laboratories or spawn room. Any locations that have no oxygen have also low gravity.

Note that Area 51 does not feature rounds, instead it will last until the players die or use the teleporter, with the zombies getting stronger as time goes by.

Characters[]

The original chracters return, but are now randomised so Edward Richtofen is always in the game. The point counter colors are also randomized.

Enemies[]

In addition to normal zombies, there are several new zombies. Hellhounds also make a return, but only while the players are in Area 51.
